In the Benson Shay hotel north of the house in San Diego, Drake and his father were getting settled in the apartment. Derek already settled before his son and Drake needed some help from him to lift some heavy stuff, such as the guitar and the amplifiers into his new bedroom and living room. It looked like any other apartment that a person would normally live in, and it looked rather nice for a regular flat.
"Well, here we are." said Derek. "Home sweet home. Would you like anything to eat, son?"
"Yeah, but I think I'm going to order myself a pizza.,"
"That's fine. I'm gonna use the bathroom if you need anything." he went into his bathroom and Drske ordered himself a spicy pepper pizza on the phone, which got to the flat in about fifteen minutes after he placed the order.
It was from big Augustus's Pizza place and it tasted good to his taste buds, and a little spicy with the peppers. He watched some TV and there revealed to be the whole crazy gang when Drake and Josh were in the Steered Straight program to "kidnap the governor", and these were being put kn jail in custody of the police.
"We're not crazy!" said the African American man with a beanie on his head. "Jefferston Steelflex and Alvin Yakitori are the crazy ones!"
The police ignored he and his friends pleas and sent them off to jail. Drake smiled, knowing that he and Josh had done something right with while being forced to take the program. "Those idiots wouldn't stand a chance against Megan, that demonic little girl."
Derek came out of the restroom and sat on the chair next to the couch where Drake was resting on. "So, I would like to hear more of your guitar playing, Drake. I want to be very proud of you."
"Well dad, you won't be disappointed then. But can I do it later? I just moved in here."
"No problem, son."
Meanwhile, Walter was watching some TV in the living room and Megan was next to him. "Come on, Walter." she begged. "My room's getting a little cramped. Can I please move to Drake's side of the bedroom?'
Josh's dad sighed and he said: "Megan, I told you about ten times already, no. You have to stay in your old room."
"Okay, I'll make you a deal..." Megan pulled out some twenty dollar bills and showed it to him. "I'll give you a hundred bucks if you give Drake's side of the room to me."
"MEGAN!" Walter warned her.
"Okay, okay!" Megan ran away, not wanting to make Walter feel more agitated.
"Grrrr... that Drake." said Walter to himself while flicking the channels. "Well, at least I don't have to deal with his selfish attitude anymore."
Meanwhile, Josh was getting a cup of watermelon from the fridge, moping. It was obvious that he was missing Drake right now. He wished that Drake wouldn't gave left the house, but, apparently; that's what he wanted, for he didn't want to deal with the parents' unfairness anymore.
He sighed, looked at Walter, who was still watching TV while in the wheelchair. "Josh," he said to his son calmly, "can you please take out the garbage and out it in the curb outside?"
"Got it, dad." After Josh did this little chore, he went back inside and went back to eating his watermelon his as his snack. He looked at Walter, and he sighed, knowing that his dad was not in a good mood after all that Drake had put him through. But still, he couldn't help but walk to his father and stood next to him. "Like it sit on the couch?"
"Please, son. That would be nice." Walter felt his son gently and slowly try and sat him on the couch, groaning and grunting in pain.
"Does it still hurt, dad?"
"Yep. It still hurts. Now, just gently and slowly out my on the sofa cushion... ah, that's better. Now I won't have to be in that stupid wheelchair all the time. Oh, and can you please give me some frozen carrot cubes as well."
"Coming right up."
When Josh got some frozen carrot chunks for Walter's groin, he sat down next to him on the sofa, and cleared his throat like he wanted to say something to him.
"Dad, don't you miss Drake?"
"Josh, so you not see what he has done to me?" Walter said. "He kicked me in the fellas, hard."
"I know he did. But Drake is sorry he did that, I promise you."
"Sorry doesn't always cut it."
"I know, but did you have to kick him out?"
"He brought it upon himself." said Walter. "He kicked me in the groin, crippled me for... God knows how long I have to be in that stupid wheelchair, and he insulted us for the last time. I wish he was more like you."
"Believe me, I always have the same feeling. I wish Drake was more like me and not a slacker, but Drwie is who he is."
"No argument. But still, it's no excuse for kicking me like this."
"Dad, listen to yourself, you just kicked your son out of the house and he is suffering."
"If he is unhappy, he brought it upon himself." Walter countered. "And besides, you heard what he said; he's not my son."
"Come on, Drake was just mad. He didn't mean any of that stuff to you."
"Yeah? Well then why did he say it?"
"Well, I told you, he was just mad. Just talk to him and ask him to come home. He misses us."
"No he doesn't!" Megan said. "Drake is happy where he is and we're happy he's out of the house!"
"Megan!" Audrey scolded. "Look, we have officially given up on him, Josh. He isn't like you."
"She's right, son. This is Drake we're talking about."
"Yeah, I admit, Drake is... falling behind academically, but he's still part of the family."
"He wanted to stay with Derek, and we just gave him his wish." Audrey said.
"I can't believe you would say that mom." Josh countered. "Drake is a good guy and there is more to Drake than you give him credit for."
"I wish I could believe that, honey." Audrey admitted.
"Come on, just give Drake's half of the room to me. I'll double my chores for at least a month, or I can massage your feet."
"That's it Megan. Upstairs." Audrey exasperatingly said.
"What? But mom-"
"Upstairs!"
Megan was surprised to hear that from her mother's mouth. Normally, she would get away with pranks and schemes, but she knew that Walter, and her mother meant business by the sound of their voices. "Okay! Okay! I'll go!" she then went upstairs being sent to her room. "Man!"
Josh gave a smirk, knowing that Megan got a rare case of commeapaunce and discipline from the parents. While this was satisfying, Josh was still worried about Drake and he wished that Drake was there to witness the evil Megan Parker get disciplined. "Look, just talk to him. He misses you on ybe inside."
"No." said Audrey. "I've had enough of his disrespect and snarkiness."
"We can't even mention his name right now, Josh."
"Thay is not fair-"
"You want to be grounded for a month?" Walter asked assertively.
Josh sighed and he replied: "fine. I won't say anymore. But think about what I said."
