A/N: I'm baaaaack! After discontinuing my other fic, I felt like I'd never
write again, and just be a lousy reader/reviewer. But I've had the idea
for this one for a while, and decided I'd try it and see how it goes. I
had a hard time deciding if it should go with the Even Stevens fics or the
Harvest Moon ones. Even Stevens rarely gets good humor fics for some
reason, but HM is so warm and friendly. HM it is.
A few notes about the fic: Yes, I know Larry's out of character. Maybe
I'll edit it later. Let's pretend Louis isn't dating Tawny, for the
purpose of this fic. And I did a quick description of the ES characters so
those who haven't watched the show get a good idea of who's who.
Chapter one: Fad of the Land
Louis was not happy. Louis was surprised. For years he'd been playing pranks and cracking jokes, but he never expected to be kicked out of his own house. "You can't do this! It's...rotten!" he whined as his brother, Donnie, carried him to the front door.
"It's for your own good, Louis. Or ours. Or something." Donnie was the perfect sterotype of a dumb jock. He put Louis down 5 feet in front of the door, only to hear it closing on him. "Hey, dad! What are you doing?"
"Son, it's for your own good. Or ours. Or something." Donnie heard though the door's mail slot.
Louis was smiling grimly at his big brother. "Well, didn't expect that, did ya?"
"Oh, shut up Louis."
Louis and Donnie walked down to where Louis suggested, Twitty's house. Twitty was Louis' best friend, and since he always comes over to the Stevens residence without needing to ask, Louis figured the reverse would prove true. But when they drew near to Twitty's house, they saw the most horrible thing happen: Twitty was also being kicked out of his own home, by his little brother Milton! With questions to be asked, Louis and Donnie ran up to Twitty. "What happened, man?"
"I don't know, I just got locked out when I was picking up the paper. What happened to you..." Before Twitty could finish his sentence, he looked around. Every boy in Sacramento was walking out of his own house, wondering where to go. Except kids. This was quite unusual.
Louis, Donnie and Twitty were all nervous. Particularly Louis, who was thinking up a plan. "I got it!" he exclaimed. "We'll go to Tom's! There's no way he's suffering what we are now!" Tom was the nerdiest guy at Lawrence Junior High, where Louis and Twitty went to school. He was also a big mama's boy, but never got picked on after his karate demonstration at school. Louis, Donnie, and Twitty all rushed over to Tom's house to find him whistling and whittling in front of the tree on his lawn.
Twitty walked up to him. "Hey, Tom, could we stay at your house for a while?"
Tom looked up. "No can do. I was asked to vacate my casa. It's kick- your-son-out week."
"But Tom, your mom..."
"...is the biggest fan of our Sacramento holidays." Tom finished. "But hey, look at the bright side." Tom said, pointing to an infuriated Larry Beale. Larry Beale was the nemesis of all the Stevens kids, particularly Ren.
"What are you guys doing?" Larry inquired of the group.
"We're thinking of how we're gonna survive this week...hey...why are you talking to me?" Louis responded.
"I figure we'll all have to stick together to work this week out. I've got a plan. Tom, you have a boat, right?" Larry told them of a not-far- off island where they could stay for the week. Larry was the only one who knew of the holiday ahead of time, and planned ahead. Louis and Donnie were a bit nervous about islands who welcome visitors, but thought they wouldn't get conned twice in one summer. So, they set sail.
"Land ho!" Tom shouted as they came close to Flowerbud. Everyone was tired of Tom's sea lore anyway.
"We won't have to hop on your dinghy, will we Tom?" Twitty asked, getting strange looks.
"No, there's a beach I can land on." And when he did, everyone got out of the boat, streched, and walked away from the beach. So this is Flowerbud village, Larry thought.
A/N: Hmm...do you like it? Probably not, it isn't that funny yet, and I haven't introduced the Harvest Moon characters yet, or the dilemma. I wrote this all in one day, which is a big improvement over the last chapter on my last fic. Please review!
