Author's Note: I love both shows and it sucks that there was never a crossover on TV, so I figured I do a crossover story with The Middle and Modern Family, just to let my imagination run wild.
"Its nothing like going on vacation," Frankie narrated. "Nothing but relaxation with only yourself or with family and friends. Its definitely a vacation when traveling around the world visiting places like Hawaii, Paris, and many more."
Frankie and Mike are quietly sitting on the living room couch watching TV.
"You know I'm going to be on vacation from work for two weeks," Frankie giving Mike the heads up.
"Really?" he replied. Because I'm also on vacation for two weeks myself."
"That's nice," she replied."You know I was thinking we should go on vacation while we're off."
"Just you and me?" Mike wondering.
"Yeah and the kids. Its nothing like going on a family vacation," she said.
"Oh," said Mike.
Frankie turns her head facing Mike and then smiles at him. "What? Did you think it was going to be you and me?" she asked.
"Sure, for some alone time," Mike replied. "Any idea where we should go?"
"I don't know, you?" Frankie asked.
"I got nothing," Mike having no clue.
"Maybe we should ask the kids where the family should go on vacation," Frankie suggested then yells "Hey kids come in here!"
The kids are entering the living room to see what is going on.
"Listen your dad and I are off from work for the next two weeks and we don't know where we should go for a family vacation, so we were wondering if you could name some places we could go? Each of you can tell us two places we should go."
"We'll" I was thinking..." Axl then interrupts Sue.
"Uh, Sue I believe I should go first," Axl suggested.
"Why?" she asked.
"Duh! Because I'm the oldest, so it makes sense for me to go first. I go first, then you, and Brick dead last," Axl explained.
"No offence Sue, but... he does have a point," Mike agreed with his son.
Frankie disagreed. "I don't think it really matters."
"Hey! Eyes up here! I have the floor and the spotlight thank you!" Axl demanding everyone's divided attention.
"Now the first place I'm thinking that we should go is... Las Vegas,"
"Las Vegas, why?" Frankie asked.
"Hello! The casinos, the gambling," Axl said.
"Oh no! Frankie said, we're not going to Viva Las Vegas so you can go to casinos gambling all your money away."
"Fine! What about Miami?"
Sue, Brick, and Frankie are interested in going to Miami, except for Mike.
"Miami?" Mike questioned. "No way."
"What's wrong with Miami?" Frankie asked.
"Besides the wonderful weather, palm trees, and the Miami Beach, that place also has hurricanes and tornadoes. I don't want us to be relaxing at the beach and all of a sudden, a hurricane or tornado comes and blows us away."
"Okay! My turn," Sue said. "The first place I was thinking was all of us going back to Disney World."
"Sue, we're not going back to Disney World," Mike said. "We already seen enough magic."
"But you can never get enough of the magic," says Sue while spreading her hands.
"What about Disneyland?" Mike asked.
"Disneyland isn't as magical as Disney World," Frankie replied.
"Now the second place I'm thinking is... South Dakota," Sue said.
Frankie and Mike both looking confused. "South Dakota? What's in South Dakota?" Mike asked.
"Well they have the Mount Rushmore of the four presidents of the United States. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln," Sue explained.
"Who on earth wants to go to South Dakota just standing there ooh and ah at carved sculptures of four dead presidents?" Axl asked.
"That is so disrespectful Axl, have some respect for our four presidents," Sue demanded.
"Okay my turn!" Brick said with excitement.
Everybody goes, "UGH!" when its Brick turn. "What? Axl and Sue had their turns, its mine now."
"You're right," says Frankie."Go ahead and tell us where the family should go Brick."
"Well I was thinking we visit Arizona to see the Grand Canyon," he suggested.
"Boring! And OH MY GOD BRICK! Its bad enough Sue chose South Dakota, I was hoping you would pull through for us." Axl disappointed.
"Just hear me out," Brick is now telling the family about the next place they could go instead of Arizona."The second place I was thinking was all of us visiting Los Angeles.
"That's actually not a bad idea," Frankie said.
"Yeah, great idea Brick," Mike replied.
"I knew you would pull through for us Brick!" Axl having back his faith in Brick, and they both give each other a high five.
"Ooh LA sounds great. Hopefully I'll" get the opportunity to meet Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, One Direction, and Selena Gomez! " Sue then screams with excitement and jumps up and down.
"Yes!" Then Brick [whispers] Yes!
Later that night, Axl talks to his girlfriend and Sue's best friend, also college roommate, Lexie about the Heck family going to Los Angeles for a family vacation.
"So you're going to be in LA for two weeks?" Lexie asked.
"Yep" Axl replied.
"Seems like a long time," Lexie said.
"I'm only going to be gone for two weeks, not five weeks or for two months," Axl trying to make his girlfriend look on the bright side.
"It will still feel like forever," Lexie said.
"Don't worry about me, I'm worried about what you're going to do without me for two weeks?" he replied.
"Don't worry I'll" enjoy a little me time to myself while you're gone," Lexie said.
"Okay, well I'll" talk to you later," Axl replied.
"Okay, oh and tell Sue I said "Hi Bestie!" Lexie said.
They both said goodbye to one another and hung up.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Sue asked.
"Oh I was just talking to Lexie, telling her about our family vacation," Axl said.
By the way, she told me to tell you that she said "Hi Bestie!"
"Hi Bestie!" Sue replied.
Axl, Sue, and Brick are watching television until Frankie and Mike walk in the living room.
"Alright kids listen up!" Mike said. "We all need to hit the bed in another hour."
"11:00? Why not until midnight?" Axl asked.
"Because we need to get to get up early around 7:00 to hit the road for our family vacation to LA," Mike explained.
"I'm just saying I'll" still get seven hours of sleep when going to bed at midnight. Besides, who goes to bed at 11:00 on a Friday night? Its the beginning of the weekend," Axl said.
"Everyone needs to get at least eight hours of sleep Axl," Frankie said.
"Actually us human beings should at least get six to eight hours of sleep," Brick stated.
"Yeah thanks for the trivia Brick," Frankie said sarcastically.
