I don't own the characters or the show.
--Chapter 1.
Jack climbed up into the bus and
went straight to his tiny room. He laid
on the bed and flipped open a Game Pro magazine and started reading about the
newest Sega games. It was really quiet
only he and Clu were there. The Bell's
decided to do some food shopping because Carey had eaten almost all the food. Carey and Molly were at rehearsal for
tonight's show. Annie was off doing God
only knows what. Clu was taking a nap
in his room. Jack was really enjoying
the silence. He forgot how much he
missed it.
He wished
it could last forever. Jack was so sick
of everything around here; he wished Fi would come back so he would able to
stay at Aunt Melinda's house himself.
He considered asking permission to go there or Aunt Rachel's hell he
didn't care where. Touring wasn't fun
for him, he had no musical talent, was sick of hearing the same songs over and
over. Seeing Carey and Clu and their
sibling bond made him miss Fiona. Annie
was a reminder that Jack was now playing second in this mom's heart, well
actually third, Fi takes second place.
"I would
love for this quietness to last forever."
He said out loud while closing his eyes to take a short little nap.
Jack looked up with disgust when he
heard his mom and Carey walk in. He
wasn't ready for the quiet time to end.
It had only been an hour. They
were defiantly not being quiet, laughing, talking at near full volume. Jack jumps up the bed, picks up his pillow
and throws it at the door with all his might.
Just missing the lamp. They
weren't suppose to be back for at least another two hours! He thought while pouting to himself.
"Hey honey, me and Carey are going
to order a pizza, do you want some?"
She didn't even knock or ask permission to come in.
"Sure whatever." He wasn't hungry but he knew his mom would
ask what's wrong if he answered no. He
followed his mom out of the room into the kitchen area where Carey was on the
phone.
"Yes I'd like to order 2 large
pizzas. The first one with pepperoni
and sausage. For the second extra
cheese and ham. Yes, I'll be picking it
up, ok thank you." He hung up the phone
and squealed like a kid on Christmas, damn it wasn't like he didn't have pizza
at least once a week.
Clu wasn't in the front room; Jack
found it strange that he could still be sleeping. He's not one for long naps plus it really was quite loud.
"Is Clu still in his bedroom?" He decided he'd ask if anyone knew or not.
"No I just went back there before I
got you." Molly answered while pouring
some juice.
"He must likely went somewhere with
Annie." Jack said, but why hadn't he
heard him leave? It's hard not to hear
things like that in such a small living area.
He decided he was in a deeper sleep than he thought previously.
"I'm going to go fetch the pies,
anyone want to join me?" Carey asked a
few minutes later.
"Sure, I need to get something at
the store so I'll gladly join you."
Molly answered.
"I'll stick around here if that's
all right?" Jack said while crossing
his fingers in hopes there would be a nasty traffic jam and they'd be gone for
hours.
"Of course it is honey. We'll see you in a little bit." They then left and got into the blue rented
car. It was decided whenever they were
to be in a certain town for three days or more they would rent a car, sometimes
two, to make running errands a bit easier.
They weren't able to last year because of lack of money but now that
wasn't a worry.
Silence yet again had come to surround Jack and he loved it. He sat down on the couch and turned on the
newly bought TV.
"….tonight at 8 there will be a
concert by Molly Phil…" Jack quickly
switched the set off, he was sick of hearing those two words Molly Phillips
every time he turned around. Jack then
decided to finish reading his Game Pro magazine before Clu asks to borrow it,
because when that happens the magazine is gone forever.
The door opened, Jack didn't look
up figuring his mom and Carey were back.
"Jack help with the
groceries." It wasn't Molly but the
other lady of the bus Irene. Jack
sighed and walked outside to unload the rust filled pickup truck. Ned and Irene stayed on the bus to allow
Jack to do all the work himself, hey they bought the food the least he could do
was unload it. Jack couldn't believe
the amount of food they had brought, it was enough to feed an army, but with
the Bell sons it would be gone in three days.
"There all taken care of."
"Thanks Jack." Irene told him from the seat he had been
using previously. Ned was lying on the
couch with his eyes closed but Jack didn't think he was asleep. In a matter of moments Jack had been kicked
out of the front living area, he knew he could stay in there with them but he'd
rather have rabbits chew his toes off.
So he retreated back into his bedroom.
Not even being in the room for
three minutes the bus was over taken by the sound of snoring. Ned was one of those loud snorers that could
be heard for a three-mile radius. Everyone
had to wear earplugs to bed just to help lessen a fraction of the noise.
"All I want is some quietness is
that too much to ask for?!" Jack
muttered under his breath while throwing that same pillow, this time hitting
the lamp. He didn't bother to clean up
the broken glass he really didn't give a damn about it. Surely Irene would come in see what the
noise was and she'd take care of it.
Several minutes past and there was
no Irene in sight. Jack decided perhaps
he should clean it up before someone walked in and stepped on the pieces. He looked at his watch and counted the
minutes since Carey and his mom had left, he decided they would be back any
moment. Actually they should have been
back by now, but it was unfamiliar city, making it easy to get lost. Irene and Ned were gone as well, at least
they weren't in the front living area.
"What the hell!?" Jack said while looking around him for any
sign for where they might of gone so suddenly.
He loved the silence, but this silence was giving him a creepy feeling. Something was wrong, very wrong.
