Jake's Censored Recap

Finally, after a while, Jake was finally able to buy his toga and be on his way toward the party with Grandpa and Fu. But this wasn't without problems. He had to go back up to the hotel room, at which point he forgot that he had left his room key in the room. So now, he had to go all the way back down to street level to get Grandpa's room key and then go back upstairs.

He had finally got inside his room to get his money. So he left his room, only to bump into his dad. He had not seen his dad, let alone his mom or Haley (the last one he was glad for) for a while. In fact, he had almost forgotten that they were here.

"Jake, there you are!", his dad exclaimed as soon as he saw him, "I haven't seen you in a while! What's up?"

Not only was it a little strange to hear Dad try to use mild slang, but Jake also knew that he couldn't talk to him about... say, half the things that had happened to him thus far. So now, I present Jake's censored recap!

"Well, we went to eat one night at this restaurant up town. Grandpa and I. We're actually about to head back up there again. Then, yesterday morning, one of my friends from school showed up at the party."

"Rose?"

"Yeah... how'd you know?"

It was time for dad's little story of his own, "We met her parents at the luau last night. They said that Rose was here! They were great..."

FLASHBACK! Because of the fact that this is Jake's dad's flashback, moments not affecting the overall outcome of the main idea have been edited for your safety. Thank you. (Ever seen that at the end of, like, a reality show? I know "Last Comic Standing" did it. I loved that show... sucks it got canceled. Ok, back on topic.)

Jake's mom, dad, and Haley sat down at their own table at the luau. It was Monday night, and the party had already begun.

"Honey, have you seen Jake lately?", Mom asked when they were all settled in. Not since the moment they had gotten out of the car had she seen either of the two. (They still didn't know Fu was here.)

"No I haven't. I was starting to get a little worried earlier, but I don't think it's a problem. After all, he is with your dad. What could be going wrong?" (At this time, Grandpa was asleep in the room watching "Gigli" and Jake was out battling for his life. Yep, not bad at all.)

"Well... okay, I guess you're right", she looked over at Haley, who, in boredom, was slowly changing her hand into a dragon claw and then back again. "Haley!", Mom whispered heavily. Haley seemed to snap out of a daze. She looked up at her mom in question. "No dragon stuff around Dad! You know that!", Mom scolded.

"But mom... I'm bored! And it's not like he can see me anyway...", she ducked her head behind a bottle of ketchup, out of Dad's viewing range.

"Well... sorry. This is a luau, though. And see... look at all the kids dancing around up front by the stage! Why don't you go up there with them?"

"Their dancing style... it's so weird!"

"That's a hula dance! Now can't you please go over there? Dad and I would like to talk alone."

Haley sighed, "Okay... but I won't like it." She got down from the table and went over to the stage. There was no band yet, and music was blaring from the loudspeakers.

"Uh... so, did you want to talk to me?", Dad asked.

"Hm? Oh, no. I just wanted to get Haley away from us so that she might actually interact with some other kids her age. After all...", she said, "When was the last time you remember her being away from us?"

Dad thought about it for a moment, "Well... there was the time yesterday when she went to the bathroom for about 15 minutes because she said she still felt sick from the Krystal burgers. Oh, and then there was the time that you made her go buy us Double Shots over at Starbucks because you were too lazy and I was too hung over from the previous night. And then..."

"I'm sorry I asked."

(End)

The Hunters and the Longs

"Uh, honey?", Mom asked about five minutes later after they had ceased to talk for a little but, "Do you think there will be anyone else joining us tonight?"

"Well, Haley's over there", he nodded over to the stage where Haley was sitting, arms crossed, pouting as a guy dressed in a large fluffy shark suit waddled over to greet the kids, "Wouldn't that be it?"

"You'd think", Mom said, "Except that there's two other seats there", she was referring to the two other seats at their table, "Do you think we might have someone else?"

"Maybe...", Dad pondered, while in the background you could see the shark guy bending over to meet Haley, and she promptly greeted him with a large fireball to his suit. The guy clutched at his suit, and quickly ran away. The kids that were surrounding them all screamed, and one yelled, "Stop drop and roll, mister!" Once everyone had retreated to their respective tables, Haley, also, returned to hers.

As she did so, her mom sat there, wide-eyed. "Hey, honey", dad said, "You're back early. What happened?"

"Uh... some guy caught on fire. Dad, you and Smokey always said to never play with fire. He should've listened to you guys!"

"Y-yes, that's right!", Mom stuttered, "Isn't that just like you, David?"

"I have no clue what you two are talking about. Hey, look! Do you think this might be our guests?"

They looked up. A couple was coming their way. The husband... he had dark brown hair, and was kind of tall. His wife, meanwhile, had long blond hair and sea blue eyes.

"Um, hello", said the man when they got to the table, "I think we're sitting with you."

"Yes, I think so!", Dad got up to shake his hand, "Name's David Long. And you?"

"David Long? From New York?", his wife asked.'

"We are from New York, yes."

The man shook David's hand firmly, "Well, isn't this a surprise! My name's John Hunter. And this is Violet." He pointed over to his wife, who had already sat down and begun to talk to Mrs. Long, "I think our daughter is friends with your son."

"Is your daughter Rose?", Dad asked, "So THAT'S where Jake has been all this time!"

Although this wasn't true as Jake and Rose had only encountered each other once, it didn't matter. The couples continued to chat, talking about things such as New York and school. Meanwhile, Haley was tugging on Rose's mom's shirt, "'Scuse me, Mrs. Jake's Girlfriend's mom, but can I talk to you about Jake?"

"Um... I guess, hon."

"Okay. Jake likes girls, but he will leave one if he finds another prettier one. He also likes to sleep with a teddy bear. He talks about Rose a lot, but also about just about every other girl in school", she ranted, "And most of all...", she stopped for a moment to make sure everyone at their table could hear her, "I wasn't s'posed to be in there, but I was in his room and I looked under his bed and I found all these pictures of naked girls!"

Violet gasped. Jake's mom slapped her hand over her mouth. Jake's dad asked, "So... they're under his bed?"

Mom kicked him underneath the table.

"Ow! I mean, that's bad! We should look into punishing him!"

(End)

Later on, after they had all ate, the dancing part of the luau began. The adults had had a little too much to drink already, and Haley, bored again, had left in search of the guy in the shark costume.

The four adults had made their way to the stage, where a band that called themselves The Polydactyls (Hah, you in mah story, fool.) Had set up to begin playing. All of a sudden, they began playing a catchy, quick tune that sounded oddly familiar.

Two of the emcees at this luau brought out a long stick, "It'sa limbo time!", the lead singer cried out, "Ev'rybody git on out onto da dance floor, an' let'sa limbo!"

"Oh, the limbo! I love the limbo! C'mon, John!", Mr. Long grabbed Mr. Hunter's hand, and they went over to get in line. The mothers, however, stood by and watched, all the while swigging their Red Stripes.

The two men limbo'd, and limbo'd to their hearts' content. That is, until they realized that there were only three people left. Them, and Jared from Subway.

"You're going down, Jared from Subway", John said, "We're gonna beat you, and beat you bad!"

"Au contraire, sir", Jared replied, "For I am a master in limboing. There is no way that you shall beat me!"

And so the final round began. Each height, each of them were able to get under it. That is, until Mr. Long couldn't. He simply jumped over it.

Finally, the stick was just about as low as it could go. John Hunter and Jared squared off. John was to go first. He positioned himself by the limbo stick. The band, at this point, was getting quite tired. John, as quickly as you could possibly imagine for someone to limbo, slid under the stick. He had done it. The crowd that had gathered around them cheered. Now it was Jared's turn.

Jared also positioned himself. "Come on, fat boy. Just imagine that there is a Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki on the other side with six grams of fat or less." He licked his lips, and, too, tried to go underneath. But it was just a little too much. He slipped, fell, and the win was John's.

The crowd cheered loudly. As did the band. Probably because it was all over. Just maybe...

"John! You did it!", David Long congratulated him. Meanwhile, Jared from Subway was seen leaving the scene and heading toward the nearest McDonald's.

"Okay, let'sa keep dis party goin'! Here's Donny, ev'ryone!", the band leader said.

Everyone groaned. The four adults weren't sure why. But the bass player, Donny, came to the front, cued the band, and began singing "I shot the sheriff".

END FLASHBACK

Mr. Long continued to remember that night fondly. But Jake wasn't really that keen to hearing stories like this, so he quickly sped past his dad and toward the exit, where he'd meet Fu and Grandpa to go to the toga party, where he'd ultimately meet Victoria, once again.

END CHAPTER

Ok, chapter's done. Sorry about the short length. I wanted to get a chapter for this fic up before I left. And I did. So be happy with that.

But, I will be gone for an extremely long time. About three weeks. So no new updates for any fics will come. However, I will hopefully write a new chapter for every unfinished fic on vacation. And then I'll have a whole lot of typing to do! -

Okay, so hope you liked it. Next chapter will probably be a little better, and will hopefully have some TerraNova/cybertoy00 ideas in it! Thanks, all! Please review and read my other fics as well! I'd really appreciate it!
