In the Cabot's backyard, Kasey was playing with a Frisbee with Shake.
"Here it comes, boy!" Kasey smiled to her new dog.
Shake stretched a bit on the ground with a smile with his tail wagging.
"Go get it, boy!" Kasey smiled as she threw the Frisbee.
Shake soon ran and chased after the Frisbee while Alexandra was inside, making a phone call. He then caught the Frisbee in his mouth and gave it to his new owner.
"Good boy." Kasey smiled.
Shake smiled back to her as he then dropped the Frisbee.
"Ah, you're such a good boy." Kasey smiled and pet the poodle happily.
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Shake smiled back.
Kasey giggled as she had a lot of fun with Shake so far.
"I'm just saying, it might be nice to come over in time for Jenny's birthday," Alexandra smiled on the phone as she was talking with the Foxworth couple who were old friends of her father's. "Alexander and I haven't seen her and James in such a long time. Also, maybe you'd like to meet my our friends, Josie, Valerie, and Melody, and I even have a good new friend named April."
"Well, Alexandra, it's nice to hear you call." Mr. Foxworth replied on the other line.
"You too," Alexandra smiled. "I hope that it's okay to come over."
"Of course it's all right." Mr. Foxworth replied.
"Sounds good!" Alexandra smiled. "I'll tell my little sister, uh, she's a bit older than Jenny though."
"That's fine, as long as they can play nicely." Mr. Foxworth replied.
"They will," Alexandra reassured. "Kasey is a very sweet girl."
"That sounds nice... Goodness, it seems like it's been ages since we last saw you... I mean, I know you all had to move to Riverdale, but you and Alexander were always like other kids in our house." Mr. Foxworth chuckled.
"Yeah, but ever since I left Josie and the Pussycats, I've been living in Cartoon Network City." Alexandra replied.
"So, I will see you then." Mr. Foxworth said.
"You bet." Alexandra nodded.
"Listen, I have to get going now, but we look forward to seeing you, talk to you later." Mr. Foxworth said.
"Talk to you later," Alexandra smiled and soon hung up with the man who lived in New York City before she then smirked. "And how long have you been listening, Kasey?"
"For a while." Kasey replied bashfully.
Shake looked sheepish himself.
"So, the Foxworths, huh?" Kasey asked.
"Oh, yeah," Alexandra said. "They're old friends of mine and Alexander's father. Mr. Foxworth and Daddy usually had golf games together."
"Really?" Kasey asked.
"Yep, and it looks like we're going to New York City for a while to go and visit his family." Alexandra nodded.
"The actual city?" Kasey smiled. "It sounds amazing."
"Oh, it can be," Alexandra smiled back. "Alexander and I would go every break off of school and hang out there with James."
"Uh, who's James?" Kasey asked.
"Oh, that's Mr. and Mrs. Foxworth's son," Alexandra replied. "He's around mine and Alexander's age. He's really nice and friendly most of the time. I'm sure he's a great big brother too, I haven't seen Jenny since she was just a baby."
"When do we leave?" Kasey asked.
"In a couple of days," Alexandra said. "We can also take Shake along for the ride."
"Yaaay!" Kasey cheered.
"Ooh, thanks!" Shake beamed. "Also, it's nice that you guys can understand me."
"It's weird talking to animals sometimes, but it is pretty good to talk to you, boy." Alexandra replied.
"Oh, boy! Oh, boy!" Shake beamed. "That means I can see my sister again!"
"That's right." Alexandra smiled.
"Oh, happy day!" Shake beamed before sighing. "I miss her so much... What if she doesn't wanna see me?"
"Oh, come along now, Shake," Alexandra said. "She's your sister. She'll be glad to see you again."
"You really think so?" Shake asked bashfully.
"I know so," Alexandra nodded. "Even if you think she's a diva."
"She always loved being the center of attention when we were younger." Shake replied.
"Well, if you have any problems with her, you come find me, and I'll talk to her." Alexandra said.
"Oh, thank you! Thank you!" Shake beamed as he licked the former mean girl's face.
Alexandra giggled. "Hey, that tickles!"
They were all eventually packing up to get ready to go.
Elsewhere, Josie and the Pussycats were finishing another gig and the crowd went wild and they soon came into their dressing room where Alan and Alexander were waiting for them.
"Another groovy hit, Josie." Alan smiled.
"Thanks, Alan." Josie smiled back to her boyfriend.
"You girls have a call from Alexandra." Alexander said.
"What is it?" Melody asked.
"She really wants you guys to come to New York City with her," Alexander said. "An old family friend of ours lives there. We haven't seen him in nearly eight years."
"Sounds groovy!" Josie said. "We could use a little vacation from touring, and we should bring Tabitha with us too."
"Good idea, Josie," Alan nodded. "We can pick up Tabby from Nicktropolis before we head down there."
"You know what they say, it's always Once upon a time in New York City." Alexander commented.
"Oh, goodie! Story time!" Melody beamed.
"That's not what he meant, Melody." Valerie told the blonde girl.
"Oh." Melody said.
"So, you guys want a vacation in New York City?" Alexander asked.
"It might be a good idea... We've been traveling a lot lately." Josie replied.
"Great. I'll let Alexandra know." Alexander said.
"And I'll call Tabitha." Josie added.
And so, they all did what they had to do.
"So, what do you wanna do, Valerie?" Melody asked.
"I guess I'll call my old man if he's not too busy with Ms. Donna, Junior, Roberta, or Rallo." Valerie shrugged.
"I think I'm gonna call Stanley Chan," Melody smiled dreamily. "He's just so cute and funny."
"If you say so." Alan shrugged with a small smirk.
Then they split up to do their thing until it was time to go.
Meanwhile, at an average house, was a woman with long brown hair wearing white long-sleeved top, black pants, and black shoes was cooking dinner for her family. A man with brown hair, wearing a blue shirt and brown pants with shoes came into the kitchen with a smile.
"Something sure smells good." The man said to the woman.
"Of course, a very special dinner," The woman smiled to him. "I've made my famous ham loaf."
"Sounds great, honey." The man smile back to his wife.
"I-I helped make it." A teenage girl with long dark blonde hair, blue eyes with square-shaped black glasses, a white long-sleeved shirt, and a pink skirt, and dark pink shoes with white socks, spoke up with a small smile.
"Ah, I'm sure you did, Allie, you're always so helpful." The man smiled back to her.
A little boy with brown hair, wearing a red hat, a blue shirt, blue shorts and white shoes was running around in the kitchen with a toy airplane, making noises. The telephone soon rang.
"I'll get it," The woman said before answering the phone. "Hello?" she then smiled before frowning. "I thought I told you not to call here again..." she then said, a bit dramatically.
Allie soon took her little brother into the other room since she knew that this wasn't a phone call safe for young ears to overhear.
"Oh, come on now," The man said on the other line. "Don't you want to hear from your big brother again, Kelsie?"
"No, especially with what you did ten years ago." The woman replied, trying to be firm.
"Tell me, how are Katie, Allie, and Timothy doing?" The man asked his sister.
"None of your concern!" Kelsie told him. "As far as the kids are concerned, you are not their uncle, and I have no brother!"
Allie and Tinker peaked behind the door, listening.
"I want them to come down and see me," The man insisted. "Especially Katie... I hear she shares a special gift with you."
"You will never see them again, and Katie won't be a weapon for you to use!" Kelsie replied.
"Ah, you're going to treat your brother like that?" The man asked.
"Yes! Goodbye, Bill, now don't call back ever again!" Kelsie said before hanging up the phone firmly in anger before she began to cry in her hands, feeling emotionally upset.
"Kelsie? Honey? What's wrong?" The woman's husband asked out of concern.
"Oh, Garrett, he called again!" Kelsie cried, running to him. "My brother."
"Oh..." Garrett frowned and soon hugged his wife. "I'm so sorry, dear."
A teenage girl with short blonde hair in a bob with a light blue shirt that somewhat hangs from her shoulders, pink pants, and blue slip-on shoes. She came downstairs, approaching to her siblings. "What's going on?" she asked, a bit suspiciously.
"Nothing." Allie told her sister.
"Nothing, huh?" Katie replied.
"Um, I helped Mom make a ham loaf for dinner." Allie smiled innocently and softly.
"And I was playing with my toys." Tinker added.
Allie and Tinker then both gave her innocent smiles.
Katie rolled her eyes at them and soon came into the kitchen while Garrett tried to comfort his wife. "What's going on?" she then asked her parents.
"Oh, it's nothing, dear." Kelsie said, sniffling and wiping her eyes.
"Well, is dinner going to be ready soon?" Katie asked.
"Uh, of course, Pumpkin, just be good and patient like a good little girl." Garrett smiled softly.
"Good, 'cuz I'm hungry." Katie replied.
"We'll call you down when it's ready." Kelsie said.
"It better be soon..." Katie said before she went back to her room to call her friends on her phone.
"Thank goodness she didn't blow up," Allie said as she sat on the floor with her little brother. "Let's play a game, huh, Tinker?" she then smiled.
"Okay!" Tinker smiled back.
Kelsie then went back to making dinner while Garrett was reading the newspaper. It seemed to be a good day so far, but like many days in this house, it wouldn't last too long.
"Kids! Dinner's ready!" Kelsie called out.
"Oh, boy!" Tinker smiled.
Allie smiled to Tinker as they went to get some dinner.
Katie then bumped into her sister. "Excuse me!" she then glared.
"Sorry, Katie, that was my fault." Allie said so not to make her sister angry.
"That's right," Katie replied. "It's your fault."
The Kaboom family then sat down to eat their dinner.
"Hmm... Maybe we should go somewhere this long weekend..." Kelsie smiled.
"Mommy?" Tinker spoke up.
"Yes, sweetie?" Kelsie replied.
"Who's Bill?" Tinker asked.
Garrett did a spit take from his coffee while Kelsie gasped.
"Who told you?!" Kelsie asked.
"I heard you on the phone." Tinker said.
"Um, it's nobody, son." Garrett told him.
"What are you hiding from us?" Katie asked.
"Nothing, honey." Kelsie replied.
"I don't like it when you hide things from me!" Katie glared. "It's like you don't trust me!"
"No. No. We're not, Princess." Garrett said.
"Honest, sweetie." Kelsie added.
"That's it, isn't it?!" Katie growled. "YOU DON'T TRUST ME!"
"Uh-oh." Allie sighed.
Kelsie put on a helmet and soon blew a whistle.
"TAKE COVER!" Garrett called out.
Some alarms seemed to blare while the family went to get ready to protect themselves. Allie took Tinker's hand to get him to safety while their parents rushed off nervously.
"TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON! I AM NOT A LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE!" Katie snarled as she seemed to turn into a monster, but not like Alexandra or Henry becoming like The Incredible Hulk.
"Man the battle stations!" Garrett called out. "Women and children first!"
"I SAID TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!" Katie demanded to her parents.
"Tell her, honey!" Garrett told his wife.
Kelsie soon pulled out a megaphone and talked into it, calmly as she could, "Sweetie, the person who I was talking to was my brother... Bill Sykes."
"YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU HAD A BROTHER, MOM!" Katie glared. "WHY NOT?!" she then looked to her siblings. "YOU KNEW, DIDN'T YOU?!"
"No, we didn't!" Allie replied. "Honest, Katie!"
Tinker whimpered as he stood behind Allie.
"It was for your own protection, sweetie," Kelsie explained to Katie. "You have no idea what he's like!"
"WHY WOULD YOU KEEP THIS HIDDEN FROM ME?!" Katie glared.
"He's a bad man, Katie!" Kelsie told her daughter. "He could seriously hurt you and your brother and sister!"
"I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!" Katie roared. "I'M A TEENAGER! I'M PRACTICALLY AN ADULT!"
"How about we all go to New York City for a little vacation?" Garrett suggested.
"NEW YORK CITY?! I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE!" Katie soon looked excited and calmed down, turning back to normal. "I'll go pack my things."
The family could now relax because Katie was calm now.
"Oh, I hope we can stay at the Plaza Hotel, it's so amazing over there." Katie smiled as she went to her bedroom.
"Whatever you want, sweetie." Kelsie smiled nervously.
Katie soon closed her bedroom door.
Keslie then sighed and collapsed into a chair in the living room, feeling wore out. "I really hope he doesn't follow us into New York." she then told her husband.
"I'm sure he won't." Garrett replied.
"Oh, Garrett..." Kelsie sighed emotionally.
"Now, there, there..." Garrett soothed his wife. "You sit and relax, I'll make you some tea."
Kelsie smiled to him as she relaxed in the chair, but frowned once she thought about her brother. "Kids, why don't you go upstairs and pack your things?" she then suggested.
"Okay, Mom." Tinker and Allie replied.
They soon went to do that while Kelsie tried to relax herself. It seemed a long, peaceful night for everyone, especially those who were going to New York City. However, it would eventually lead up to a brand new adventure for some, especially for the Cabot twins who hadn't been in New York City in many years since they used to visit all the time when they were younger.
