Growing Up Changes Everything

(Sequel to All Growing Up)

Chapter 1-

Tommy woke up with his alarm clock buzzing. Next to him was the love of his life, Lil DeVille. They had recently been married and were on their honeymoon. He got out of the bed and walked onto the balcony. He looked at the bright Hawaiien sun. "Lil, wake up." he shook her.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Come on. Lets go down to the beach." Tommy said.

"Okay." she smiled to him. They got dressed and went down to the beach. "So, what do you want to do?" Lil asked.

"I don't know. All I'm going to say is that you'd better stay away from the coast guard." he said. She giggled at him. He stared at her, "I'm serious."

"Oh. Okay." she said and ran down the beach.

"What do you think Tommy's doing right now?" Phil asked.

"I dunno." Chuckie replied taking a sip of his coffee.

"Do you think Lil found the coast guard yet?" Phil asked.

"Phil!" Kimi yelled slapping his arm.

"Go on!" Lil said.

"I don't want to." Tommy replied.

"Its not like a shark's going to get you. Its just a little water." Lil said.

"Oh my God! There's a shark!" someone yelled.

"You see, if you ad made me go in the water, that shark might have got me." Tommy said.

"Got any threes?" Phil asked.

"Go fish." Kimi replied. Chuckie then ran into their apartment.

"You guys!" he yelled.

"What?" Phil asked.

"Nothing, I just needed something to get away from work." he said.

"So, you run in here and yell, 'You guys'?" Kimi asked.

"Yeah pretty much."

"Thats stupid." Phil said.

"So, how about a romantic dinner tonight?" Tommy asked.

"Usually, you don't tell me that you're going to prepare a romantic dinner." Lil chuckled.

"Oh. Then, oh well, you wanna?"

"Sure." she smiled and kissed him.

"So, Phil, you and my sister, are you, one, now?" Chuckie asked while Kimi was in the bathroom.

"Huh?"

"Are you two to tango?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Are you going out?"

"No. What gave you that idea?"

" Well, at Tommy's wedding, and the fact that you two kissed a whole bunch afterwards."

"So. She was drunk, I think. Thats what she said, and I just kiss any girl who I get a chance to." Phil said as there was a knock on the door. "Hello?"

"Hi Phil." May said.

Phil immdiatly slammed the door and locked it. "Its May." he said.

"Why don't you just forgive her?" Kimi asked coming out of the bathroom.

"Because, she's like a freakin, pervert!" Phil shouted.

"She said she was joking." Chuckie said.

"I don't really care." Phil said, "I just don't want anything to do with her."

"Why don't you just tell her that?" Kimi asked.

"Because I-" he paused for a moment,"I don't know." he walked over to the door and opened it. May was still there. "Okay, May. I would like it, if you would just leave me alone." he said.

"Okay. Why didn't you say so?" she said and skipped down the stairs.

"That was suprisly easy." Phil said.

"Wine?" a waiter asked.

"You hired a personal waiter?" Lil asked.

"You betcha. Um, yes, wine for the both of us." Tommy said. The waiter poured the wine and went into their room's kitchen. "And a personal chef."Tommy added.

"Whoa. How much did this cost?" Lil asked.

"Just about two thousand dollars."Tommy said.

"T-two th-thousand dollars?"

"Not a problem, my lady. You should have seen how much money Phil sent us to say he was sorry." Tommy replied.

"Say he's sorry for what?"

"Tried to get me to stop loving you, told me to forget about you, and causing me to punch him. Nothing big." Tommy replied sipping his wine.

"Oh really." Lil said thinking about the pain she was going to give Phil when they got home.

"Ow." Phil said.

"What?" Kimi asked.

"Its like there is severe pain being targeted to my head. I'm sort of nervous for some reason now." he replied. Kimi stared strangely at him and scooted farther away.

The next day, Tommy woke up knowing that it was the day that they would return home. "Lil?" he noticed that she wasn't in the bed. She was on the balcony. "Lil? What are you doing?" he asked walking out onto the balcony.

"Just taking one last look at the beach." she said. "But, anyway. We should get ready, the plane leaves in three hours."

"Okay." he said and kissed her then went back into the room.

Three hours later, they were on the plane ready to head to California. "Tommy, I'm going to take a nap." Lil said.

"Okay." he said. Lil went to sleep and a few hours later, the pilot said over the intercom,

"The trip to New York has been delayed for storm warnings and we will be landing in Cincinatti."

"New York? Cincinatti?" Tommy asked himself. "We're suppose to be going to California." Tommy gasped then tried to wake up Lil. "Lil! Lil! Wake up!"

"What?" she yawned.

"We're on the wrong plane!"

"Huh?"

"We're headed to Cincinatti!"

"WHAT?"

"There's the plane." Kimi said pointing to one landing. Phil and Kimi were at the airport ready to pick up Tommy and Lil. The plane landed,but Tommy and Lil didn't get off.

"Where are they at?" Phil asked.

"I don't know. Is this the right day?"

"Yeah. July 26th." Phil replied.

"Maybe, they're staying in Hawaii?" Kimi asked.

"What? You mean forever? I mean, surely they would tell us." Phil said.

"Maybe we should call the hotel?" Kimi asked. Phil put change in a payphone and called the hotel.

"Hello, um did a Mr. and Mrs. Pickles check out today?" Phil asked. "Okay, thanks." he said and put the phone back on the reciever.

"Well?"

"Yeah, they checked out." Phil said.

"Tommy, use my cell phone." Lil pulled it out of her purse. Tommy was about to dial a number but a flight attendant stopped him.

"I'm sorry sir, but there are no cell phones used on the plane, I'm going to have to ask you to shut it off and put it away."

"Oh.Okay, sorry." he said and handed it back to Lil.

Finally, their plane landed in Cincinatti. They jumped off and ran into the building. "Tommy, we don't have enough money left to get two tickets." Lil said.

"Okay. We'll buy one ticket, and you hide in a suitcase." Tommy said. She glared at him. "Well, you got a better idea?"

"Yeah, I do." she said and took out her cell phone and dialed Kimi's cell phone number.

"Where the heck are they?" Kimi asked.

"I'll go ask if this the last plane, was the last plane." Phil said and walked over to the lady behind the counter.

Kimi's cell phone started ringing. "Hello?"

"Kimi! Its Lil."

"Lil! Where are you?"

"Cincinatti. We need help. We're out of money."

"Well, it turns out that was the last plane for today." Phil walked back over to her and said. "Whats wrong?"

"They're in Cincinatti." Kimi replied. Phil quickly grabbed the phone.

"You're in Cincinatti?" Phil asked.

"Phil? Put Kimi back on!" Lil said.

"Fine."

"Okay, Lil. I mean, what can we do?" Kimi asked.

"You'll either have to send money, or pick us up." Lil said.

"Pick you up? You're in Ohio!" Kimi said. "But, we don't have alot of money right now."

"Well, you have to help us!"

"Wait! I got it!" Phil grabbed the phone. "Angelica went to New York for a job interview. She drove and said she was heading back tomorrow. We could get her to pick you up."

"Not a bad idea Phil. You make the call. We're at the Cincinatti air port."

"Duh. But, okay." he said and hung up.

"So, what are we doing?" Tommy asked.

"Angelica is going to pick us up." Lil said. "She went to New York and is coming back tomorrow."

"It'll take her two days to get here!" Tommy groaned.

"So. At least we get picked up at all." Lil said.

"Uh, Lil."

"What?"

"We left our luggage on the plane."

"What? Son-of-a!"

"Lil."

"WHAT?"

"Where's your purse?"

"Its right-" she pointed to where it used to be sitting. She saw a guy running away with her purse in hand. "I hate my life." she groaned. "Well, we can't get a hotel."

"I guess we sleep here tonight."

"No way! Not on that nasty floor!"

"Not on the floor, on the benches."

"NO!"

"Suit yourself." Tommy said and layed down on one. It was midnight, Lil was sitting on the floor while Tommy was asleep on the filty bench she refused to sleep on.

The next morning, Tommy woke up with Lil leaned against a wall asleep. "Have a good sleep?" he asked waking her up.

"No."

"I did. Those benches are incredibly comfortable." he said sitting next to her.

"Shut up." she groaned.

"Hey! Its not my fault that you had a bad night!" he yelled.

"I know. I'm sorry, its just, I want to get home." Lil said. "Hand me my cell phone."

"I thought you had it."

"No. Wait, its in my..." Lil put her face on Tommy's shoulder"...purse."

"Tommy! Lil!" Angelica ran around the airport trying to find them. "There they are." she said to herself.

"Angelica? I figured it would have taken you longer than this." Lil said.

"Well, by the time Phil called me, I was already half way to Ohio." Angelica replied. "Now come on." They all got in Angelica's car and they were off.

"Do you think Angelica picked them up?" Chuckie asked as he and Phil walked into Doug's Diner.

"I doubt it. She probaly forgot." Phil replied.

"Shows what you know, Angelica's on her way here with Tommy and Lil." Kimi said as Phil and Chuckie sat down.

"You guys!" Susie ran in.

"Yeah?" they all asked.

"Angelica just called. They might be delayed getting here."

"Why?" Kimi asked.

"There was a storm and it flooded roads and knocked over trees and everything." Susie said.

"We never got the storm." Phil said.

"They just said that the storm is headed our way on the news." Susie said.

"How long?" Kimi asked.

"They said it'll be about an hour."

"Maybe we should get back to the apartments." Chuckie said.

"Hey Chuckie, do Tommy and Lil know you've been sleeping in their apartment?" Phil asked as they headed out the door.

"Nope." he replied.

Thats it for chapter 1. I hope you're enjoying it.
