Mission: Pick up Rachel's Mother from the airport
Operative(s): Roberto Martinez, Josh McGrath, Rachel Leeds
"Where is she," asked Berto anxiously.
"She'll be here," Josh said for the millionth time in that day.
"I bet she won't come. I bet she took all her stuff and left town!"
Josh rolled his eyes.
"Look bro, Rachel had a few errands to run. She said she'd be here and she will be!"
Berto scoffed.
"You're just saying that because she's your fiancée," Berto murmured under his breath.
"No he's just saying it because it's true," said a woman behind them.
They turned and faced the woman.
They both gasped.
"Rachel? Is that you," asked Josh.
"Of course it's me, Josh. Who do you think it is," she snapped.
Josh looked at Rachel's outfit. A long sleeved, high collar, white shirt covered the top of her. An extra long brown skirt covered the rest of her, hanging only slightly above her ankles.
"Rachel," Josh started slowly, "You looked like a…a…"
"Librarian? Nun? Bag lady," Berto volunteered.
Rachel turned and glared at Berto. He took a step back. Rachel rolled her eyes and turned back to Josh.
Josh took a deep breath as he looked at his beloved.
"Um Rachel…I think he's right."
"Of course he's right," Rachel shrieked.
A few people turned to stare at them.
"My Mom is always saying my clothes are to short, or too tight," Rachel explained.
"Imagine that," Berto murmured.
"But she won't get to say anything this time," Rachel continued. "No, this time she's going to look at me clothes and approve."
"Well it looks like you are going to get to try out your little theory," Josh said as passengers began to come off the plane.
Rachel quickly plastered a smile on her face and took a deep breath.
"Mother," she shouted, spotting the woman who gave her life.
She quickly ran over to the woman and embraced her.
"Rachel! What the bloody are you doing," snapped Maria, while pulling away from her daughter. "You are making a complete fool out of yourself!"
Rachel bit her lip and slowly stepped away from the woman.
Maria surveyed her daughter crossly. She looked over her from head to toe and then clicked her tongue.
"Rachel really," snapped Maria. "Your shirt is too tight, your skirt is too short, and with that ridiculous hair style, you look like a bloody boy!"
Rachel gritted her teeth.
"Happy to see you too, mother," she said sarcastically.
Josh chuckled quietly to his himself before stepping up to his son to be mother-in-law.
"Mom, can I take your bags?"
Maria turned and stared at Josh.
"I beg your pardon," she said. "Who exactly are you?"
Josh gaped at the woman.
"It's me! Josh! Your future son-in-law," Josh practically yelled.
"Oh yeah, that's right," she said in a crestfallen voice.
Josh sighed and picked up her bags.
"Come on Mom. We'd better get you to the house. You must be exhausted after such a long trip," Josh pointed out.
Maria exhaled loudly.
"Ah, finally! It's about time someone around her thought about my welfare," she said dramatically, while steadily focusing her eyes on her daughter.
Rachel bit her lip to keep from saying anything she shouldn't.
"Um, Hello Mrs. Leeds," said Roberto, feeling a little left out.
"Oh. Well look who it is! Alberto," exclaimed Maria.
"It's Roberto," said Roberto, who was slightly offended.
"Ah, of course. That's what I meant Carlos."
Berto muttered something under his breath in Spanish and headed for the car. The others followed behind.
"Hey," yelled a voice behind them. "What about me?!"
The group turned to see a young blond girl waving her hands wildly and screaming.
"Hey," said Josh. "That looks just like…"
"Lizzie," screamed Rachel happily.
She ran and embraced her niece warmly.
Berto and Josh turned pale.
"Aunt Rachel," said Lizzie cheerfully. "What the heck happened to you?"
"Shh," shushed her aunt. "I'll explain later."
"Gotcha," Lizzie said nodding her head. "One 'not till grandma is asleep' conversation on hold."
Rachel laughed lightly.
"Well I hope you two are happy," snapped Maria coming over to the two. "You succeeded in making a fool out of yourselves as well as the rest of us."
Lizzie secretly rolled her eyes and Rachel bit her lip.
"Sorry," they both murmured.
Meanwhile Josh and Berto looked over at the three women and sighed. Things were about to get really hectic. That they could easily tell. Three women, three Leeds, three times as much trouble!
Mission Status: Complete
Notes: Let's get ready to rumble!
Max: What the world needs now is love, sweet love. Especially in the Leeds Zone!
Chapter 2 is done! Yeah I know it kind of bites but I was stuck on it for like a week! (sigh) Oh and despite the rumors I do NOT hate Berto. He's actually one of my favorites. He is also my favorite to pick on. Lol. I just like to show how his smart mouth gets him into trouble sometimes. Anyways, Read n Review!
