Mrs. Parkington and Laura got off of the flight a little while after it landed.

So this is what Los Angeles looks like, Laura thought to herself after she got off. She then walked into the airport followed by her mother and then went over to the luggage carrier and got her luggage and her mother got hers and then her and her mother looked around the airport for her uncle and cousins.

Finally they found them and went over and greeted them.

"Mike it's so great to see you and the boys!" Mrs. Parkington said as she greeted Mike, Greg, Peter and Bobby.

"It's great to see to you to Amy and Laura to!" Mike said as he greeted his younger sister and niece. "Well, we best get going. I planned on having dinner with my girlfriend and her daughters tonight and I don't want to be gone when they get there"

Mrs. Parkington nodded her head "Okay let's go" and then they got going.

"So how long do you plan to stay Amy?" Mike asked in the car as they were driving back to his house.

"Maybe four days, I hope I can pick up Laura after a few weeks" Mrs. Parkington said "But, I'm going to have to see if Richard gets his act straight"

"Are we there yet?" Bobby asked

"No son we aren't," Mike said

"It's just so boring in here" Bobby said

"Well we're almost there" Mike said

Finally after a few hours they pulled up in front of the house. Everyone they started unloading the luggage.

"Okay Greg can you help Laura settle into her bedroom?" Mike asked

"Sure thing dad"

Then they headed up the staircase and into the guest bedroom. Which had red drapes on the windows and a white blanket on a queen sized bed and a big brown dresser with a mirror a well as a closet and wallpaper with pink and blue flowers.

Greg laid the suitcase on the bed but then she went to protest. "No Greg you don't have to do that for me, honest" She said "No, I insist" He said and then he began helping her unpack.

Mike went to check on them a few minutes later and stood in the doorway. He smiled at how his son was helping Laura unpack. And then he headed back downstairs without saying a word after the unpacking was done Laura and Greg headed downstairs.

Greg grabbed a shirt out of the suitcase and put it on a hanger then put it in the closet. "Once dad gets married to Carol the girls will move in here so don't get to used to cluttering your stuff around this room"

"I don't clutter stuff around my bedroom! And if I do I always clean it up!"

Greg chuckled and didn't respond.

She just rolled her eyes and soon they were finished packing. She then briefly looked around the room and then headed downstairs.

She saw Alice, the family's maid preparing dinner along with her mother, and Bobby and Peter arguing. Then Greg came downstairs and then both of them tried to solve the argument and once it was solved she went over to her mother and Alice.

"Hey do you need help with anything?" She asked as she walked up to them.

"No we're almost done here but you can help set the table when we're done" Alice said

She nodded and sat at the kitchen table. She wondered what Carol and her daughter's were like and if Uncle Mike would ask Carol to marry him. She guessed she'd just have to wait and see.

Then Alice called her to help set the table.

She grabbed the plates and set them out one by one each chair and then grabbed the spoons and forks and set them by the plates along with the napkins. Then Greg came downstairs with his transistor radio.

The song "For What It's Worth" was blasting from it.

"Greg Brady please turn that thing down!" Mike yelled.

Then Greg turned the radio down "Sorry dad"

"It's okay please learn to keep your music turned down instead of blasting it because if you don't I'm sure you'll lose your hearing in your twenties"

Greg just nodded and put his transistor radio down on the coffee table.

Then the phone rang. Mike went and answered it.

"Hello?" He said

"Mike this is urgent, I need to talk to Amy!"

"But why?" Mike asked

"I just need to please get her on the line now!"

Then Mike put his hand over the receiver.
"Amy it's for you"

Her mom walked over and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"
