Hey everyone, I am Jameer14. This is my first sitcom fan fiction that I've ever written, so I'd like to see how it goes. I ask that you all please review! It helps me as a writer and when you do, I make the story a priority to update. Note: This takes place before the Season 3 finale and JESSIE characters will start entering the story in Chapter 2 & 3. Anyway, without any further ado, here is The Duncans at the Penthouse. Enjoy!:

Chapter 1

Bob, Teddy, Gabe, Charlie, and Toby sat in front of the TV watching 9 News Denver, when Amy entered the house, panting with excitement.

"Uh, Mom, are you okay there?" asked Gabe. "It's only spring break. It shouldn't be too hot outside."

"Guys," breathed Amy. "You'll never believe what happened at school today."

"Yeah, uh, I'll be at Jake's house," said Gabe as he stood up, but he sat back down after his mother shot a mean glare at him.

"So I saw an ad a few weeks ago saying that ABC World News was looking for a few new medical correspondents to rotate their morning and evening newscasts," began Amy.

"Oh, boy," muttered Bob.

"I had sent in the application last month and they called me today during work, offering me a job interview," Amy said. "It's gonna be tomorrow at 3:30 P.M. Eastern time."

"So you're gonna fly off to ABC News' World Headquarters in New York City for a job interview that's tomorrow?" asked Bob. "Its kinda last minute, don't you think?"

"No, because ABC did offer me an interview that would be in a couple of weeks, but I didn't wanna wait that long," said Amy. "So they gave me the soonest time that they were available. And, I'm not going alone! You guys are coming with me!"

"What?" asked Teddy. "I don't see why the rest of us have to go. I agree with Dad. You're kind of rushing into this, Mom."

"Come on, guys!" said Amy. "I've already called PJ. He's gonna meet us at the airport tomorrow for our flight at 7:08 A.M. our time. We can make this a fun family vacation."

"Oh, yeah! That really makes me wanna go," Gabe said sarcastically.

Bob sighed and stood up. "Honey, I really think that we should talk this over as a family before you go rushi—"

Amy glared at her husband.

Bob sighed again. "If anyone needs me, I'll be upstairs packing." He took Toby and walked up the stairs followed by Charlie.

"I suggest that you two follow your father's example," Amy said.

Gabe got up and headed up the stairs.

Teddy stood up and looked at her mother. "Mom, this is really inconvenient! I had plans with Ivy tomorrow. Besides, you never said why we all have to go."

"Well, if I get the job, we'll have to move to New York," replied Amy. "We could look over places to stay while we're there."

The next morning at about 2:15 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time (11:15 A.M. Mountain time), the Duncans had already gotten off the plane at the JFK international airport and were at the wing where they could take a taxi into the city.

Amy was wearing a formal business skirt, shirt with a coat over it, and heels. She told her husband to go find a hotel while she went to the ABC headquarters.

After Amy hopped into a taxi and left, Bob turned to PJ, Teddy, Gabe, and Charlie.

"Here's the game plan," said Bob. "I'll take Toby and me and your mother's luggage while you four can go sightseeing. But I stress the importance of staying together. No one goes wandering off and make sure to keep a good eye on Charlie." Bob (holding Toby and the luggage) hailed a taxi, got in, and left.

"Alright, let's make this fun," said Teddy. "We can go to Times Square! How does that sound?"

"You can do that," said PJ. "I'm off to go visit Skylar."

"Uh, PJ, Dad said that we need to stay together," Teddy reminded him.

"Hey, I'm eighteen!" countered PJ. "I'm pretty sure that I can handle visiting Skylar on my own. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to the car rental company with the lollipops."

As PJ walked off with his duffel bag, Gabe muttered, "Yeah. Let's see how voting goes."

Teddy sighed. "Well, Gabe, it looks like it's just you, me and Charlie."

"No!" said Gabe sarcastically. "I did not know that. Thanks for pointing that out."

"Oh, come on, Gabe," Teddy said. She picked up her own duffel bag along with her sister's. "We can find a way to make this fun. Right Charlie?"

"Yes!" replied Charlie.

Gabe picked up his duffel bag. "I highly doubt that," he said. "But one can only hope."

Well, there's the first chapter. What do you all think? As I said in the beginning, it really helps when you review. It doesn't take too long to do. Also, let me know of things I could do to make this funnier. I want this to sort of be a comedy.
