NOTE: Michael has been aged to 15 like Lulu and Brookelyn have been..
Chapter 4
Michael adjusted his tie, looking in the mirror. Sonny had suggested that he wear a tie and one of his nice button down shirts. He didn't understand why. He was just going to Luke's. And it was just Brenda and Jason's engagement party.
Sonny walks past Michael's room, peeking in through the open door.
" Need some help?" says Sonny.
" I would actually love some help. This thing's about to eat me alive." says Michael, still trying to adjust it.
Sonny laughs, walking over to him, starting to adjust it.
" Why'd you make me wear this stupid thing anyway?" says Michael, looking up.
" Because it's an engagement party and I wanted you to look nice, that's why. There? See?" says Sonny, as they both stare at thereselves in the mirror.
Michael laughs.
" Dad, it's at Luke's. It's not exactly mom's club." says Michael.
" You know, you're just like your mother? Exactly like her. Always an arguement." says Sonny.
" Ha, ha." says Michael as they head down the stairs.
Carly puts her other earring on, coming out of the kitchen.
" You look great, mom." says Michael.
" Thank you, and you look incrediblely handsome. The girl's there are gonna be going nuts over you. And the tie definately suits you." says Carly, wiping something off of his face.
" Mom.." says Michael, making a face.
" Well there was something there. Why don't you go nextdoor and see if Jason's ready? And make sure he dosen't have jeans on..please." says Carly.
" I wish I could wear jeans." says Michael, opening the door to the penthouse, looking back at Sonny.
" No you don't." jokes Sonny with a small smile, as Michael shuts the door behind him.
Carly smiles as she wraps her arms around Sonny.
" I cannot believe you convinced our son to wear a tie and a shirt that dosen't have writing on it. He usually has on one of those t-shirts.." says Carly.
" The ones with the rock bands on them.." says Sonny, stroking the back of Carly's hair.
" Exactly. I definately don't like those." says Carly.
" Niether do I." says Sonny, kissing Carly on the lips.
" We have to go.." says Carly with a small laugh.
" Michael isn't back yet." says Sonny, kissing Carly's neck.
Carly smiles, holding her head back, laughing.
Michael walks into Jason's penthouse without knocking. Which is what he always did. Jason didn't seem to mind.
" Jason.." says Michael, looking around for him.
" Mike?!" yells Jason, from upstairs.
" Yeah, it's me Jas. Mom told me to come over here and see how you were doing." says MIchael.
" She asked about jeans didn't she?" says Jason from upstairs.
" Yeah..several times actually. You're not wearing them are you? Because I really don't wanna go through that..she'll never let me forget it, and it'll be this huge thing-" says Michael, as Jason comes down the stairs.
" No jeans. Almost went for them though just to see what she'd do." says Jason, with a small laugh.
Michael laughs.
" You look..different." says Jason, scanning him up and down.
" He made me wear a tie." says Michael, making a face.
Jason groans, walking over to a nearby mirror, fixing his tie.
" Sorry about that, Mike. I'll make it up to you." jokes Jason, adjusting his tie in the mirror.
" Free bike ride?" says Michael, raising an eyebrow.
" Sure thing." says Jason.
" By myself?" says Michael, sitting on the sofa.
" Not a chance." says Jason quickly, giving him a half smile.
" Damn.." mumbles Michael.
" Maybe when your older. I don't want you killing yourself on that thing." says Jason.
" So, where's Bren?" says Michael.
" Probably over at the Quartermaine's. She said something about going over there first." says Jason sitting in the desk chair, starting to go through some mail.
Michael makes a face.
" The Quartermaine's are gonna be there? Great." says Michael.
" A.J.'s not gonna be there if that's what your talking about." says Jason.
" He's still there..even when he's not." says Michael, looking down.
Jason looks over at him.
" Buddy, I'm telling you he's not gonna show up. He has no reason to. We're not exactly 'brotherly'." says Jason.
" Whatever. It dosen't matter." says Michael.
Jason puts the mail down, walking over to him. He sits across from him on the couch.
" What going on?" says Jason.
" Nothing." says Michael.
" We've talked about this. What happend with your da.." says Jason.
" Don't call him that." says Michael, cutting him off.
"..with A.J. I know you have a hard time with it. We knew you would. Your mom, dad, and I. But you know you can talk to any of us, right?" says Jason.
" Yeah.." says Michael, distantly.
" Even Sonny." says Jason.
Michael laughs a little.
" Yeah right. That's great. Talk to my dad about my 'biological' dad." says Michael.
" He won't get upset if you do, Mike. He get's it. Trust me, he does. You're gonna have questions, that's normal. And you're gonna run into him. This is a small town. You just have to remember to not let him or the rest of the Quartermaine's get to you." says Jason.
" I know.." says Michael, looking at Jason.
" Alright.." says Jason, patting his hand on Michael's shoulder.
There is an awkward silence as the door behind them opens. They both look up, seeing Brenda standing there in the doorway.
" Hey Jas, are you ready we're gonna be la.." says Brenda stopping, seeing Jason and Michael on the couch.
" Oh, I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something?" says Brenda.
" No, not even. Just talking to Jason about the party. Came by to make sure he wasn't wearing jeans." says Michael, with a small smile, standing up from the couch.
Brenda laughs.
" Well tell your mother, thank you. Did I just say that? I think I did.." says Brenda.
Michael laughs, as Brenda gives him a side hug and peck on the cheek.
" Look at you. Looking all grown up. You look great." says Brenda with a smile, adjusting his tie and messing with his hair.
" Leave him alone, he been adjusted enough." jokes Jason.
" I'm just tweeking. Come on, we're gonna be late for our own engagement party." says Brenda.
Sonny and Carly come out of the penthouse and go across the hall.
" You guys all set?" says Sonny, leaning in the doorway.
" Yep." says Jason, getting his coat out of the closet.
Sonny laughs, putting his arm around Michael.
" I see Brenda fixed your hair a little there.." says Sonny.
" I guess someone had to." jokes Michael, as they all start out into the hallway.
Carly looks at Brenda, giving her a small, yet fake smile.
" Brenda..you look great." says Carly.
" You do too." says Brenda.
Jason and Sonny exchange looks, locking arms with there each of there women.
" Yeah..let's leave before someone starts something." says Jason, stepping into the elevator with all of them.
" Oh yeah, another bitchslapping show! Can I watch this time?" says Michael, sarcastically.
" Language!" says Carly, Sonny, and Jason at the same time.
