Chapter 11: Apple Pie Is Apple Pie

Saturday is here and Sarah, Elliot and even Andrew are spending the day together. Brian still can't Rachel to talk to him because every time he tries to explain what happened she won't listen to him.

Sarah, Andrew and Elliot are walking downtown Chicago. Andrew is not impressed at all by any of the sights that Sarah showed him and his Dad.

"Alright, we've seen the Sears Tower we can go home now." Andrew commented.

"There's more to Chicago then the Sears Tower." Sarah told him.

"Do you know where that guy lives that caught the foul ball and blew the Cubs chances at a World Series?" Andrew then asked.

"No." Sarah replied.

"I really wanted to meet that guy." Andrew then told her.

"I'm going to show you two my favorite place in Chicago." Sarah then said to them.

"The strip club." Andrew said quietly to himself.

"Did you say something?" Elliot asked him.

"No." Andrew lied.

""I saw your lips move but, you didn't say anything?" Elliot then asked.

"Dad, relax I didn't say anything." Andrew then replied.

Elliot looks at Andrew.

"Elliot, if Andrew said he didn't say anything then he didn't say anything." Sarah then said.

"If you say so." Elliot then smiled.

Andrew looks at his Dad in disgust and starts to feel his stomach turn.

"This is my favorite Deli, let's get something to eat." Sarah suggested.

"Is it a Kosher Deli?" Andrew then asked.

"No." Sarah then told him.

"I can't eat anything that isn't Kosher." Andrew then told her.

"Andrew, we're not Jewish." Elliot then said to him.

"I converted." Andrew then commented.

"Then where's your beanie?" Elliot then asked.

"I knew I forgot something. Sarah, this was a great day but, since I don't have my beanie I have to go home and get it. And since I can't drive yet my Dad will have to take me home." Andrew then smirked.

"You're not Jewish." Elliot then told him again.

"Fine, we'll get something to eat in this second rate Deli." Andrew sighed.

Sarah, Elliot and Andrew go into the Deli.

Brian is at home because he's still grounded. He's in his room on his bed starring at the black scuff mark he put on his ceiling with a handball.

"I remember that mark. I was throwing my handball in the air, I threw it too high and it hit my ceiling. That was so cool." Brian thought to himself.

Brian gets bored starring at his ceiling so he decides to go to Matt's room. Matt was still feeling sick. Brian walks into Matt's room and sits on Matt's bed. Matt groans as Brian sits next to him.

"How you feeling?" Brian asked.

"I'm feeling better." Matt replied.

Matt rolls over and tries to go back to sleep.

"I'm bored." Brian then said.

"So, go bother someone else." Matt then yawned.

"I'm not bothering you." Brian then said to him.

Brian now starts to mess up Matt's hair.

"Now, I'm bothering you." Brian then told him.

"Leave me alone." Matt moaned as he pulled his covers over his head.

"Fine, I'll go see what everyone else is doing." Brian said as he got off Matt's bed and left Matt's room.

When Brian gets into the hall he sees Mich lying on the ground. Mich gets up and follows Brian downstairs wagging his tail behind him.

"Hey Mom, where's Dad?" Brian asked Lorraine as he came downstairs.

"At Danny's football game." Lorraine then replied.

"I'm so bored." Brian replied as he plopped on the couch

"That's your own fault for mouthing off to your teacher." Lorraine said as she sat next to him.

"I was telling Anthony to shut up. You can even go ask him." Brian then told her.

"That's not what Mrs. Tauten told me on the phone." Lorraine then said.

"Why couldn't have Dad answered the phone." Brian then sighed.

"I answered it before he could that's why." Lorraine then explained.

"Mom, you don't understand the situation. You were a teacher's pet in school just like Kate and Matt." Brian commented.

"And you, Danny and Marie cause some trouble in school just like your Dad." Lorraine then told him.

"That's the only thing that me and Dad have in common." Brian then said.

"Brian, you have a lot more in common with your Dad then you think." Lorraine then smirked.

"Mom, not again." Brian sighed.

"You need to hear this Bri, you and your Dad are both sarcastic, love to have fun and have the same personality." Lorraine then explained.

"Are you done yet?" Brian sighed.

"That's what I'm talking about. That little remark." Lorraine told him.

"Mom, for the last time me and Dad are nothing alike. We look alike but, that's it." Brian then told her.

"I'm trying to tell you something and you aren't listening just like your Dad." Lorraine then explained.

"I'll be in my room." Brian said as he went back up to his room.

Brian walks up the stairs and goes to his room. He passes Matt in the hallway. Matt is still a little bit groggy from his illness and bumps into Brian.

"Watch it Matt." Brian told him.

Matt grumbles something and Brian can't understand him. Matt is still grumbling as he goes in his room and closes his door.

"That kid is weird." Brian said to himself as he went into his own room.

At the Deli Andrew, Sarah and Elliot are at.

"Is your middle name James because of your Grandpa Jimmy?" Sarah asked Andrew.

Andrew gives Elliot a look like he's saying 'Is she serious?'

"No, my middle name is James just because my Dad thought to himself 'What the hell, I like the name James and my son already has a first name.' That's why my middle name is James." Andrew told her sarcastically.

"So, your middle name is James because of your Grandpa Jimmy." Sarah then replied.

"Nothing gets by you." Andrew smirked.

"Andrew how would you like to be grounded for a month?" Elliot then asked him.

"For what?" Andrew then asked.

"For being a smart ass." Elliot then told him.

"Elliot, it was my fault. I shouldn't have asked why his middle name was James, I should have known his middle name is James because of your father." Sarah then said.

"Sarah don't blame yourself because Andrew was rude." Elliot then told her.

"But, Dad she asked the question." Andrew replied.

"That doesn't excuse you for being rude to Sarah." Elliot then told him.

"Whatever." Andrew scoffed.

"That's a week Andrew." Elliot then told him.

"That's unfair." Andrew complained.

"The way you're acting towards Sarah is unfair." Elliot then replied.

"I have an idea. Let's go back to my house and have some apple pie." Sarah suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea." Elliot replied.

"I like Mom's apple pie." Andrew then said.

"Andrew, apple pie is apple pie." Elliot told him.

"There's a huge difference between Mom's apple pie and everyone else's." Andrew then snapped as he got up from the table and walked out of the deli.

"Andrew!" Elliot yelled to him.

Andrew walks down the street and turns the corner out of sight.
