Dinner Time

The three kids of the Parker-Nichols household were sitting on the couch; Drake on the left side, Josh on the rights, and Megan slouching in the middle. Drake, of course, was tuning his red Fender guitar and Josh, the big fan he was of the talk show host, was reading Oprah's latest book. Megan just played with her Pintendo GS. The three all hesitated when Audrey walked in with a bag. "I brought some take-out from B.F Wang's!" Josh jumped up and yelled across the room in excitement. "Did you get the mushu?" "Yep, and the manager had a thing for me, so he gave us some free lettuce wraps!" Drake got up and responded. "Ooh, I love those but I'm heading out to meet Trevor at the Premiere Galleria. See ya!" Then Audrey pulled him by the arm and shook her head. "Nope, Walter and I decided that we are going to have dinner as a family tonight."

Drake moaned and replied, "I guess I'll call Trevor then and cancel." Drake sat back on the couch dialing on his cell as the phone rang. Josh answered, "Hello, you've reached the Parker-Nichols residence." Josh lifted an eyebrow and gave it to his step-mother. "It's Principal Marin, from Megan's school." Drake muttered, "Probably wanting to give you an update on Megan's brilliance." "Drake, I'm not brilliant," Megan giggled, "Ok, maybe I am." "At least, I have music talent," Drake defended himself. "Beg to differ, I play the oboe, according to many famous conductors, the hardest instrument," Megan argued. As Megan had won the argument between herself and her older brother, Audrey got off the phone with her principal. Walter entered the room just then wearing a dorky looking tie with clouds on it. "Since Bruce Winshill has the 'perfect' hair, I think the ladies will find my cute ties just as attractive when they watch me on the weather channel." Megan and Drake smirked and then Audrey informed her husband, "That was Megan's principal. She wants us to have a short private conference at the school tomorrow."

Megan sunk back into the couch and then walked up to room. "I wonder what the principal wants to speak to Mom and Dad about," Josh asked Drake. "Yeah, what if she got in trouble?" Josh then responded, "Maybe that's why she left the room, well, we'll find out tomorrow." Drake looked suspicious but then nodded. "Drake, would you get your sister please? It's dinner time." Audrey asked. Drake ran upstairs and later returned with Megan behind him. "The mushu's ready," Audrey came holding a plate of chicken and wraps. Josh took a seat next to Drake and Megan sat in the far corner covering herself from everyone with the flowers. "Megan, what's wrong?" Walter asked. "I'm fine." Megan answered innocently.
