Jack came home to find Shawn working at the computer. "You're working? It's the first day of summer, you should be out having fun with your friends."

"Everybody's tied up," Shawn explained, "Andy got a summer job at a vineyard in Napa Valley, Kenny's visiting his dad in Rochester, Angela's visiting her dad in Ramstein, Kim Sussman's still mad at me about inviting Cory to her nose party, Kristen's grounded, Debra's on a family vacation to see her grandparents in Vietnam, Nick's counseling at a summer camp in Maine, Alexis found Jesus, Alice is in rehab, Martha got pregnant, Jeff overdosed, Freddie's in a psych ward after he tried to jump off the Franklin Bridge, Dawson Leery moved back in with his dad in Massachusetts, Jordan Catalano got back together with his girlfriend in Pittsburgh, and Corpanga is…" Shawn gestured to the couch, where Cory and Topanga were aggressively making out… "Corpanga."

"Man, you have a weird circle of friends." Jack observed.

"I don't have a weird circle of friends," Shawn objected, "I have an edgy circle of friends, and Corpanga."

Topanga came up for air "Shawn and Cory's other friends don't get along," she explained, "Cory's friends think Shawn's a juvenile delinquent and Shawn's friends think Cory's a weirdo."

"Wait, Cory has other friends?"

Cory sat up on the couch "Cheryl's at church camp, Pam's at Hebrew camp, Judy's at regular camp, Tom's a camp counselor, Randy Williams is working with a summer tutoring program in South Philly, Randy Taylor went to Guatemala, Kimmy Gibler moved back to San Francisco, and my pen-pal Urkel's coming for two weeks in July."

Shawn threw an arm around Jack. "I'm going to be out of town for two weeks in July."

"Where ya' going?"

"Don't know yet."

"How's Los Angeles sound?"

Shawn looked back at Cory. "This Urkel kid's from Chicago, right?"

"Yeah."

"Los Angeles sounds great."

"How about Amy?"

"Mrs. Matthews?"

"Yeah."

"Why her?"

"Schulman and Schuster wants both of you guys to do a few talk shows to promote your new books."

"We'll have to ask her."

They drove Cory and Topanga back to the Matthews' house, and Jack explained the company's offer to Amy.

"I'm not sure if I should go for a whole two weeks." Amy responded.

Shawn leaned over the counter. "It'll be the two week's Cory's pen pal's here."

"Sold, and I'm taking Alan."
