Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I wanted to post this part of the story on Thanksgiving. It gets me into the mod. Well lets get on with the story.

Chris' Point of View

We all walked into the dinning room. As we walked in, there was a warm aroma in the air. On the table was a wide assortment of food. There was steaming three hot turkeys, a huge bowl of spaghetti drizzled with hot red tomato sauce, cresset rolls, in a basket, a salad bowl filled with various veggies and spices, a small container filled with giggly cranberry sauce and had a bunch of fruits in a basket. The table was bigger that it usually was because we had twenty to guests. We all sat down and started grace. Everyone decided my mother would do grace. Everyone held out their hands and my mom did the blessing. "Lord. Thank you for bringing us all together today. We thank you for the food and the good you gave to us. And thank you for giving us a beautiful Thanksgiving Day as we remember the first Thanksgiving that the Pilgrims and Indians had hundreds of years ago. If you didn't do what we did then, we wouldn't have this day. Amen."

"Amen." Everyone said. We started to chow down on the food. After we started to chow down, we started a conversation. It started with how good the food was, then got to politics, then sports, and now we are on literature and Naomi was talking about her favorite poet.

"But my favorite poem by Edgar Allen Poe is the Raven." She said. Topaz and my dad nodded in agreement.

"That's one of my favorites." Rouge said. "But I like the Bells better. What about short stories?"

"Tell Tale Heart is mine." My Vector said.

"Cask of Amontillado for me." Amy and I said. We continued to talk about authors and poets like Alice Ozma, Lemony Sniket, JK Rowling, and the list goes on and on. After a while, the phone rang. Mr. Tanaka got up to get it.

"Hello…Yes just a minute." He said. "Master Chris. It's for you."

"Excuse me everyone." I walked up to Tanaka and grabbed the phone. "Hello?" I said as I walked into another room.

"Chris. It's Scott."

"Hey Scott how are you?"

"Great. Remember the audition you and your girlfriend gave me last month."

"Yeah."

"You got it."

"No way!" I said. I kept my excitement inside of me so I won't accidentally fall or break a vase or something like that. "Don't play with me man."

"I'm not. The first rehearsal is next Saturday."

"Who else is going to be there?"

"The Jonas Brothers, BonJovi with Bruce Springsteen, two kids from Oklahoma, you two, and Big Time Rush are each doing one song. Barry Manilow is going to do his entire Christmas Album and Jordan Sparks is doing covers of Frank Sinatra's Christmas album. Do you guys mind if you are the final performance?"

"Not one bit. And thank you for giving me and Amy this golden opportunity." Hung up the phone, put it back into the receiver. I walked back into the dining room and sat down.

"Who was it?" Amy asked.

"That was Scott."

"Who's Scott?" Frankie asked.

"One of my mom's friends. Any way, remember the audition we gave him." Amy nodded. "We got it."

"Really!" Amy said full of excitement.

"Yup. The first rehearsal is next Saturday and I was hopping my mom would take us."

"I don't know Chris…" My mom said. Then I remembered something. She is a huge Barry Manilow fan.

"Barry Manilow is going to be there."

"I'm in! And everyone else can come. My treat."

"Horray!" everyone said.

"This is officially the best Thanksgiving ever." I said.

"Can't argue with that." My girlfriend said.

Me: There we go for you guys. Tomorrow I will post a Black Friday chapter.

Lindsey: I can't believe I'm going to meet Barry Manilow.

Me: Settle down. You're a movie actress. You meet like two famous people a day. Anyway, a quick shout out to my cousin's girlfriend Alice Ozma. She wrote a book called The Reading Promise. It's a really good book, check it out, and I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Shadow: The author of this story has no ownership of the authors or titles in this chapter.

Amy: Review after you read and if you flame, you get waked into next week.

Chris: That's my girl.
