*This is only my 2nd story. I'm not good at this whole writing thing but I'm trying it out. I honestly don't know where these ideas are coming from or if they will be of any interest to readers. I have never been to Chicago so if information is wrong I'm sorry. I also wrote this at 2 am so …..I do not own the characters from the show*
It was friday evening and Kenny had just finished a double shift. He hadn't been home half an hour when his phone started ringing. Groaning as he looked at the caller id and saw it was his mom. When mom called she always bugged him about his life and to be honest he was tired of telling the same thing ever time she called, no girlfriend and always working. After talking for awhile Kenny's mom finally got around to telling him why she called. It was summertime and it had been awhile since the last family reunion so the family was planning one for the following weekend.
Kenny sat there in his chair after hanging up with his mom thinking. Him and Max had plans to go see some new movie that was coming out next weekend. He couldn't cancel on her he thought, she's been so excited to go see this movie since seeing previews for it months ago. That's when he got the bright idea. He was going to ask Max to go with him to his family reunion. This way he wouldn't be canceling on her, true they wouldn't see the movie but they would still be hanging out and she would finally get to meet his parents.
Max was at home watching television when she heard her doorbell ring. She got up to answer the door kind of surprised to see Kenny on the other side figuring he would be at home sleeping. She lets him in and asked "Hey what are you doing here? I figured you would be at home sleeping since you just worked a double." "Yeah well when I got home my mom called." "Really? How's she doing? Still on you about your lifestyle?" "Yeah we talked about that but she called to tell me about a family reunion I'm supposed to go back to Chicago for next weekend. We haven't had one in forever and she thinks now is the time to have one." "Well that sounds like fun I mean it has been a while since you've last seen your parents." "Yeah it has but I came over to see if you wanted to go with me? We've been working nonstop for awhile now and this would be a good chance for you to finally meet my parents. I mean they have been on me about meeting the person I work side by side with everyday and who has saved my life on numerous occasions."
Max just sits there she doesn't really know what to say to that proposition. Go to Chicago with Kenny to a family reunion and meet his parents. Oh boy what should she do? It sounds like a good and fun time but on the other hand it sounds like it could be awkward. Before she knows what she's saying she hears herself say "Ok as long as Jimmy doesn't have a problem with both of us leaving for a few days it sounds like a fun time." Kenny just smiles and tells her he will take care of everything with Jimmy and not to worry it'll be a fun time.
Oh boy what did I just get myself into Max ask herself. Did I really just agree to go with Kenny to Chicago to not only meet his parents whom I've only talked to on the phone but also meet his entire family?
