I'm sorry it took SO long for me to update. I had my internet shut off. but now it's back!
Disclaimer-Don't own Drake and Josh...still...but you know, i'm getting there mwahahahahaha...
Josh sighed. He had just explained to his girlfriend that he would be gone for 8 weeks for a summer program in England.
"That's- that's great!"said Mindy hugging Josh. Josh sighed in relief. Drake glared. "I couldn't be more happy for you!"said Mindy smiling. Josh kissed her.
"EW! Josh don't kiss that you don't know where it's been."said Drake. Mindy narrowed her eyes at him.
"He does have a point."said Megan. Josh shot her a look.
"I don't think Helen is going to give you 8 weeks off."Drake said. Josh frowned at this.
"Maybe you can quit, and just get hired again once you come back?"said Chrissy.
"I don't know...This is Helen were talking about."said Josh.
"But who will she have make hot dogs for her? Don't worry! She HAS to hire you back."said Mindy. Drake scowled.
"Man-why do you want to go to school during the summer anyway- this sucks."said Drake leaving slamming the door. He walked to the park and sat against a tree moodily. Normally he would be glad to get rid of Josh. He was a bad influence on his popularity after all. Honestly he didn't know why he was so upset."I guess he just grew on me."Drake muttered to himself moodily. What was he supposed to do all summer with out his brother? "I don't need him anyway!"Drake convinced himself. He decided to go cheer himself up so he went to dairy queen and got himself an ice cream. As he was walking back home he felt odd. A prickling feeling in the back of his neck. Drake turned sharply. He was alone. Drake shuddered as a chill went up his spine. He definitely did not feel safe. He began to walk faster. hiding behind a building a man laughed softly to himself.
"Did he see you?"yelled a voice on his cell phone. The man put the cell phone to his ear pushing his glasses up.
"No number 1."the man replied.
"Tony... You have to be careful. For our mission to succeed-"
"I know I know. You just concentrate on the jewels number 1."The man said hanging up the phone. Tony Vansen looked around the corner of the building to see Drake walking quickly towards his house. He laughed to himself.
"We meet again Parker."
"I hate finals."Drake said walking down the hall. It was the last day of school. Josh was emptying out his locker. "Hey man."said Drake.
"Last day of school! Hug me Brotha!"said Josh. Drake looked around.
"Not in public man."He whispered. Josh pouted. Drake hugged him quickly and looked around warily to make sure no one had seen."Want to head for the movies? I hear Blood sucker 3000 came out."said Drake.
"Nah. If i go there when I'm not working Helen makes me work anyway."Josh muttered. Drake suddenly frowned.
"Did you talk to her about how your going to Europe?"Drake asked rather coldly. Josh nodded.
"She's alright with it. She found a replacement while I'm gone...It's like a really long vacation with out getting paid."said Josh. Drake scowled."What?"Josh asked.
"Do you really HAVE to go to Europe?"Drake asked.
"Kinda! Mom already signed me up."said Josh happily. "I'll be leaving in three days you know."Josh continued.
"Good I can't wait to get rid of you."said Drake coldly, crossing his arms. Josh looked at him.
"Drake I know your upset- I'll just be a phone call away."said Josh.
"Upset? I'm not upset!"Drake said quickly.
"I think you are. You've been acting really weird lately- and you haven't kissed a girl in two weeks. That's a record! A RECORD!"yelled Josh.
"Yeah man- whatever."Drake muttered. The two walked home. Josh sighed trying to think of ways to cheer his brother up. He didn't understand why Drake was so upset- shouldn't he have been happy? A loud scream echoed through the silent street.
"What was that?"Josh asked stopping.
"Shh."said Drake. The two brothers crept quietly to an old abandoned building. No one lived there. It had been abandoned for years. When they were younger it had been rumored to be haunted. Josh looked at it warily.
"I hate walking by this house!"he muttered.
"Oh come on ghosts aren't real."said Drake. Raised voices could be heard.
"YOU THOUGHT I WOULDN'T FIND YOU HUH?" an angry man's voice roared.
"Jack I-" said a woman's voice.
"SHUT UP!" the man yelled. Drake peeked over the corner of the building and gasped. Chrissy stood against a brick wall pinned by A young man with greasy black hair and dark eyes. Josh peeked and gasped.
"We need to think rationally about this- don't do anything stupid!"said Drake.
"LET GO OF MY SISTER!"yelled Josh running out.
"Like that."said Drake with a sigh. The greasy haired kid looked up still pinning Chrissy to the wall.
"Back off loser."snarled the greasy haired kid. Drake turned the corner.
"Man we don't want any trouble. Just let our sister go and-"
"Your sister?"Demanded the greasy haired kid glancing at Drake.
"I thought you said you only had one brother!"the man yelled at Chrissy.
"Jack that was before I found out my father re-married. Your making a scene. Let me go."Chrissy said.
"No. You didn't think I'd find you did you?"he yelled shaking her.
"LET HER GO!"yelled Josh. He looked at Drake. They nodded and charged at Jake knocking him to the ground. Jake growled standing up and made a punch for Josh. Josh ducked.
"RUN!"he yelled grabbing Chrissy's arm and the siblings ran off. They stopped a few streets away panting. Chrissy pulled her arm away.
"I didn't need your help."she said moodily.
"Who was that?"Drake demanded.
"Jack Parke-nston."said Chrissy.
"Parkenston?"asked Drake. Chrissy nodded.
"What did he want? Where do you know him from?"asked Josh.
"Whats with the third degree?"Chrissy demanded crossing her arms.
"You were just assaulted by him! What did you steal from him or something?"asked Drake.
"You know it's not polite to steal!"cried Josh pacing.
"He was my X boyfriend okay? Now cool it."said Chrissy.
"That was your X? What kind of losers do you date?"Demanded Josh.
"Hey!"yelled Drake. "I dated her."said Drake.
"That's different she didn't actually like you."said Josh. Drake crossed his arms. Chrissy laughed.
"Well thanks for the help."she said walking away.
"Hey! Where are you going?"asked Josh.
"To do things."said Chrissy. Josh and Drake shot her suspicious looks.
"I don't like this."Drake said.
"Now don't forget your underwear bag!"yelled Audrey handing Josh a bag. Josh went red in the face from embarrassment. They were at the airport. People shot Josh odd looks.
"What? I like being prepared!"Josh yelled at the people. Drake yawned and crossed his arms.
"Why the heck is your flight so early- it's like- 9:00 AM."said Drake.
"That's not early you boob!"snapped Megan.
"Megan 11:00 A.M is early for a guy like me on summer vacation, Never mind 9:00!"said Drake. Audrey hugged Josh.
"Don't forget to call!"she said.
"I wont."said Josh. Walter hugged his son next.
"Good luck- and don't talk to strangers!"cried Walter.
"I'm 16 dad."said Josh.
"No crossing the street alone either."Walter added. Mindy leaned over and gave Josh a kiss on the cheek.
"Now remember you wont be able to kiss me- don't be tempted by those European girls!"said Mindy. Josh laughed.
"I wont."he said.
"Yeah I mean- they don't even shave!"cried Drake and he shuddered. Mindy rolled her eyes.
"So long boob."said Megan.
"No Hug?"asked Josh. Megan glanced at her parents and gave Josh a hug, sticking a small, metal object on the back of his neck. She smiled.
"Bye Josh. If you meet A guy named Ian Saunders, tell him I say hi."said Chrissy with a smirk.
"Do I want to know?"Josh asked.
"Most likely not."said Chrissy. Josh turned to Drake.
"See you in eight weeks?"Josh said. Drake sighed angrily and stared at him moodily.
"Drake say goodbye to your brother!"cried Audrey.
"Bye Josh."Drake said coldly.
"I'll be back in eight weeks man."said Josh. Drake sighed and forced a smile.
"Yeah I know. Have a good trip."said Drake and he gave his brother a quick hug. Josh smiled.
"Bye! I'll miss you all!"Josh said and he aboarded his flight. Audrey smiled tearfully. Walter rapped his arms around his wife. Drake sighed. Now he would have to hang out with... Scottie all summer. This was going to be a VERY long summer. Drake looked out the window and watched the houses fly by as they drove back home. There was a loud rumble of thunder. Mindy was squished in the backseat between Drake and Chrissy. Megan was in the seat behind that, They were in Walter's new van. However Megan was stretched out laying down, taking up the whole seat listening to music.
"Now I have creature germs!"Drake complained.
"Drake be nice to your brother's girlfriend."said Walter.
"But she's not even human!"cried Drake in defense. Mindy narrowed her eyes at Drake.
"Drake!"said Audrey. Drake crossed his arms and glared out the window.Once they reached home Drake grabbed his guitar.
"I'm out of here."he said.
"Where are you going?"asked Audrey.
"Out."Drake replied and left slamming the door. He walked to the park and leaned against a tree practicing a few notes on his guitar. He didn't notice that he was being followed.
Josh held on to his seat tightly as the plane lifted into the air. He looked at the woman sitting next to him. She had chocolate colored skin,big bronze glasses, and dark brown eyes behind them. her black hair was in a tight bun. She had to be about Josh's age. She was in a suit. Josh mildly wondered if she was a student going to the summer program at Cambridge as well?
"You know that feeling you get when your hung upside down from your sister's trap to long and your evil sister is forcing you to eat something that doesn't look edible?"Josh asked. The woman stared at him. "Well okay maybe you don't know the feeling, but that's the feeling I'm feeling now."said Josh. The woman still stared at him. Josh sighed and looked away. He had the feeling she didn't want to talk. He looked out the window. He was on his own. Going to a different country! This was amazing! If only Drake were here. A cell phone rang. The woman sitting next to Josh answered it.
"Hello what- yes- I'm sorry ma'am."The woman said talking into the phone. Josh quietly wondered how long of a flight it would be, than decided...it would be very long, if he was traveling across a whole ocean! What if they crashed? Josh felt very sick. "yes but- I know but- it's not my fault 16 has her own agendas-" Josh stiffened. 16? The last time he had heard someone been called 16 was in his mother's gang. And number 16 was...Chrissy. The sickness left Josh immediately as he shifted so he could hear the woman's conversation more. Things just got very interesting.
