Chapter 3: Chaos at the Heffley's
Two days later, Rex, Max and Tracy went to their new school, Westmore Middle School, for their first time. Greg and Rowley had become their guides so that they could know their way around. That morning, the triplets got up early and went to Greg's house to check on Greg.
"Good morning, Mrs. Heffley and Manny!" the triplets greeted Mrs. Heffley politely.
"Good morning, Rex, Max and Tracy. You're quite early, Greg and Rodrick aren't even up yet…" Mrs. Heffley replied while feeding Manny.
"Why not me and Max go wake Greg up, Tracy will wake up Rodrick~" Rex and Max teased.
"Uh! Fine… Mrs. Heffley where's Rodrick's room anyway?" Tracy asked.
"Upstairs the last room on the left. Greg's room is the first room in the right." Mrs. Heffley answered.
Tracy and her brothers went upstairs to wake up the brothers. Rex and Max woke Greg up by making weird and loud noises. Meanwhile…
"So…this is Rodrick's room huh? Looks quite messy to me…" Tracy thought to herself as she walked into Rodrick's room.
"Um…Time to wake up, Rodrick. Rodrick?" Tracy tried to wake him up.
"Shut up, Greg! Another ten minutes!" Rodrick groaned as he covered himself with blankets.
"Come on! Wake up. Mrs. Heffley might not be happy if you woke up late." Tracy plead.
Rodrick was annoyed and pulled Tracy's face beneath his armpit. At that moment, Greg, Max and Rex got in.
"RODRICK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH OUR SIS?!" Rex and Max were furious.
"Your sis? You mean…I…" Rodrick was surprised.
"Just let me go please." Tracy was nearly out of breath.
"Oh…sorry, Tracy." Rodrick let her go as he blushed.
"Um…Rodrick. Hate to break it up to you but you might ought to hide your dead skulls boxers…" Greg pointed as Rodrick covered his boxers with a pillow
"You ok, sis?" Rex asked his sister.
"Yeah, I'm fine! I've survived in our old school's smelly toilets for six years, this is nothing!" Tracy smiled as she blushed slightly.
"Tracy, I'm so sorry about just now…" Rodrick apologized.
"No big deal! I'll go downstairs to get some air. Later guys!" Tracy went out.
"Ok! What were you doing with Tracy just now?" the twins asked.
"Nothing! I just thought she was Greg so I tackled her with my armpit…" Rodrick confessed.
"Oh boy! Mom's gonna flip if she found out that you tackled a girl!" Greg teased.
"Shut up or you'll be the next person stuck underneath my armpits! Now go downstairs! I need to change…NOW!" Rodrick had flipped his temper, as the three kids dashed out.
Meanwhile, Tracy was helping out Mrs. Heffley with the dishes. Just then, the boys all came down. But at that very moment, Manny called Greg "Bubby!"
"Why is your brother calling you that?" Rex and Max asked.
"Isn't it sweet? 'Bubby' is Greg's nickname." Mrs. Heffley said making Greg more embaressed. Rodrick laughed.
"Don't worry, Greg! Your secret's safe with me!" Tracy and her brothers said.
"Really? Whew! Thanks." Greg was relieved.
"Time for breakfast, boys. You kids can wait." Mrs. Heffley said to Rodrick, Greg, and the triplets. So, Rodrick and Greg finished their breakfast quickly while the triplets wait for them. Rex and Max were chatting while Tracy was listening to music. After a while, Greg and Rodrick were done.
"Rodrick! I need you to send Greg and the triplets to school." Mrs. Heffley said just as Rodrick was about to go out.
"What?!" Rodrick was shocked.
"If you do, I'll give you 5 mombucks." Mrs. Heffley said.
"Fine! Hop in, kids!" Rodrick agreed.
"I'm riding shotgun!" Max and Rex said.
"Sorry punks! But this spot is for…" Rodrick stopped them.
"Your mom?"
"No!"
"Yourself?"
"No!"
"Greg?"
"No!"
"I know! That seat is for the garbage! Surprisingly, it's the garbage that's behind…" the twins teased.
"SHUT THE HELL UP! That's for Tracy!" Rodrick said being ticked off.
"It's ok! Rodrick, why don't you let them sit front row? I don't mind sitting behind." Tracy calmed Rodrick down.
"Yeah, heard that? Be nice to your future brother-in-laws, Rodrick~" the twins teased.
"Rex! Max! You guys are so immature at times…And PS, we are gonna be late." Tracy informed them.
"OH NO!" the twins board on the van and Rodrick got in to send them all to school.
"Hm…Is there something I had forgotten?" Rodrick asked on the way to school.
"HEY! YOU GUYS FORGOTTEN ME!" Greg chased after the van yelling.
"…" the triplets frowned.
