A/N- Hi. I want to make something a little clear. Jeremy does not hate his
family; he is just a little pessimistic right now because he would rather
be going on the skiing trip. Thank you for the reviews, though. I really
appreciate them.
Disclaimer: I own Jeremy, but most of the rest belongs to Disney, and by most I mean about half.
Chapter Two
The plane landed.
"I am here. Oh great. I don't want to get off this plane. I want to be the very last one off," Jeremy thought to himself. "If they want to see me so badly, they can wait."
Jeremy waited for a long time. Most of the passengers were off within ten minutes, but apparently there was a large group of old people who were also on the flight, and they weren't exactly running to exit the plane. He waited another fifteen minutes for the final person, who was struggling so much with her bags that Jeremy decided to help the poor woman. He took her big bag, leaving her with her cane and small purse. They walked slowly off the plane, and once they were off the plane, Jeremy walked her to her group. The lady stopped to thank him.
Lady: Thank you, very much young man.
Jeremy: You are welcome.
Lady: There should be more people like you out there.
The old lady then reached into her purse, and handed Jeremy a crisp twenty- dollar bill.
Lady: Happy Holidays.
Jeremy: Thank you. You too!
Jeremy turned around as he pocketed the money, only to see his dad immediately in front of him. He had seen the whole thing.
Gordo: Give it back.
Jeremy: Aren't you going to say hello to me?
Gordo: Hi. Give the lady her money back.
Jeremy: But dad, she gave it to me. It is not like I asked for it.
Gordo: I know, but you helped her out of the kindness of your heart.
Jeremy: She gave it to me, though.
Gordo: Well, you are lucky this time. But that is only because she has left.
Jeremy turned around as he watched the group of old people walk slowly toward the luggage claim.
Jeremy: Thank you.
Gordo: Don't thank me. Thank your luck. Lets head to the luggage claim. (Looks at Jeremy's carry on bag) You didn't bring much to do, now did you?
They head toward the luggage claim.
Jeremy: I had an mp3 player and there was a movie.
Gordo: What was the movie?
Jeremy: Some old one. I think it was called "Hercules."
Gordo: That isn't too old.
Jeremy: It looked old to me.
Gordo: It is only about thirty years old if even that much. It used to be your favorite movie, you know.
Jeremy: Really? I must have been insane.
Gordo: You were three.
Jeremy: Oh. How is the family?
Gordo: Good. Your mother is looking forward to seeing you. Olivia is adjusting well into middle school. Ben is enjoying first grade. How is school going for you?
Jeremy: Well.
Gordo: How do you think you did on your exams?
Jeremy: I think I did fine.
Gordo: Cool. Oh, tonight we are going to mom and dad's house for the first night of Hanukah.
Jeremy: You mean Nana and Papa's?
Gordo: (sarcastically) Oh you remembered them. They will be so pleased. They are looking forward to seeing you.
They arrived at baggage claim and Jeremy immediately spotted his bag. They started walking to the car.
Jeremy: Do I have to go?
Gordo: You will go and have a great time. You are their first grandson, and they don't see you that often.
Jeremy: Well, its not like they have always known about me being their grandson.
Gordo stopped dead in his tracks and turned to speak to Jeremy.
Gordo: Listen, we don't want to dwell on that part of our past. Not tonight, and especially not in front of Nana and Papa. Okay?
Jeremy: Fine. So do we have a Christmas tree yet?
Gordo: Yep. We were waiting for you to decorate it.
Jeremy: When are we planning on decorating it?
Gordo: Tomorrow would be a good day.
Jeremy: Fine. Are we going over to Nana and Papa's house every night until the end of Hanukah?
Gordo: No, not every night. Just tonight and the last night.
Jeremy: Fine.
Jeremy still wanted to be skiing. The group wasn't leaving for another four days, but he would rather be anticipating the skiing trip that what he was doing.
They found Gordo's car. Gordo put the entire luggage in the trunk and handed Jeremy the keys.
Gordo: Why don't you drive?
Jeremy: I haven't driven much since I got my license, though.
Gordo: So? You still know how to drive, right?
Jeremy: Yeah.
Gordo: Then drive.
Jeremy looked at his father reluctantly, and got into the driver seat. He drove the car home while Gordo talked the whole time about what was going on.
"I'd rather be in Australia," Jeremy thought.
*!*!*!*!*!*!
A/N That Australia bit was a reference to the children's book, "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day." Review!
