A/N: I didn't really like chapter 3, sorry about that! I had writer's block and couldn't think of anything. Hopefully it'll get better. Please review! (And please tell me if I should keep using cliffhangers or end each chapter with an answer!)
Jesse swallowed and rushed downstairs to tell the family his decision. When he entered the living room, the whole family was already situated comfortably, and Stephanie was telling Danny about her uncle's phone call.
"Hi, everyone," Jesse said nervously. Everyone turned to look at him, and the room broke into chatter. "What's the answer?" Michelle asked. "Are you really going to leave?" Stephanie cried. "Who's going to host the Rush Hour Renegades with me?" Joey argued. "Dad, can I move into the attic if Uncle Jesse goes on tour?" D.J. asked selfishly.
"Hold it!" Jesse shouted above the commotion. The noise died down immediately. He sighed, the slow, distinct "Jesse" sigh he did when he was about to give an announcement. "I've made a decision. I'm not leaving."
"All right!" Stephanie cheered. The commotion started up again. Although Jesse was happy, he felt like he had just given up the opportunity of a lifetime—just for his family. Rebecca noticed his sad expression. Later, after the twins were put to bed and they were alone, "Jess, you don't want to do this. Am I right?"
Jesse shrugged and leaned against the armrest of the sofa. "I don't know—everything's coming in a rush. I'd feel selfish if I went on tour, but I've been waiting for this my whole life. It's so confusing."
Rebecca smiled warmly. "Well, you know you can come to me for anything. Just tell me if you need advice."
"Thanks, Becky," Jesse said, and kissed her gently.
The next day, Danny was waiting anxiously for six o' clock, when he could leave the house and go pick up Deborah for their date. His ring was ready to go in his pocket, and he was jumping up and down with apprehension. D.J. walked in with an ice cream bar and said to Danny, "Dad, those pants seem a little short and tight. Are you sure you want to wear them?"
Danny nodded. "I've had these pants for a long time," he explained, "but their lucky. I wore them to my graduation, to the date when I proposed to your mother, and to your baby shower. They may seem old, but they've still got my luck."
Well, they were just too old, because when it was six o' clock and Danny bounded up the steps, the ring slipped through a hole in his worn pockets and clinked to the floor. Danny was too nervous to notice, and he left the house without the ring.
"Stephanie, want to walk Comet with me?" Michelle asked as she led Comet to the front door.
"Sure! As long as we can pass the houses of all the cute guys I know that live around here," Stephanie replied with a grin. Michelle shrugged and bent down to tie her shoe. "Whoa, baby!" she exclaimed excitedly. "Today's my lucky day." She picked up a shiny round object and held it in her open hands. "A ring!"
Stephanie's eyes widened. "That's not just any ring," she cried, "that's Dad's engagement ring!"
Michelle's mouth was in an "O" of surprise. "We've got to give it to him!" she declared. "Quick, go get D.J. and see if she can drive us over to the Globe Restaurant. We gotta hurry!"
When the two girls found D.J. in her room, they practically dragged D.J. downstairs, where they chorused in unison, "Dad left his ring here!"
D.J. gasped. "Where?"
Michelle retrieved the ring from her pocket. "Here!"
D.J. grabbed her keys and shouted to Joey, "We're going out for a ride!" They each pulled on their jackets and scrambled out the door into the pouring rain. "To the Globe Restaurant!"
As Danny and Debbie were being seated at the Globe Restaurant, Danny thrust his hand into his pocket, expecting the ring to be safely protected in the deep pocket, but all he felt was a large hole in his pant pocket. His eyes grew wide and created the illusion of his eyes popping out of his face. Deborah, noticing his expression, asked, "Danny, is everything all right?"
"Y-Y-Yes," Danny answered, even more nervous now. "Why don't we order our drinks and see what's on the menu?"
"Hurry!" D.J. shouted as they pulled up their hoods and rain through the heavy rain towards the doors of the Globe Restaurant. Michelle, who was already ahead of her sisters, slipped in a big puddle and struggled to get up. In the midst of her efforts, the ring fell out of her pocket, and she frantically searched through the muddy water for the glinting silver ring while D.J. and Stephanie hurried by her side.
"What happened?" Stephanie questioned, watching Michelle crawl around in the puddle.
"I dropped the ring!" Michelle yelled breathlessly, her face dripping wet. "Help me look! We've got to find it quick!"
The scene of three girls kneeling around in a puddle made customers look around in question, but no one dared to offer their assistance in such rainy weather.
"Got it!" D.J. shouted excitedly. The threesome got to their feet and scuttle toward the restaurant.
The waiter seemed quite appalled at the sight of three drenched, muddy, young girls standing in the front hall. "Have you three got reservations?" he asked, gingerly taking a step back to avoid wet hair flinging and dripping.
"No, but we've got to deliver something to one of the guests here," D.J. informed him hurriedly. "It's urgent!" She stood on her toes and quickly scanned the tables for sight of her father, and located him just a few tables from the center of the room. "He's over there!" she said, pointing to a nervous Danny.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't let you in without a reservation. If I could point you towards the exit—"
"Hold on!" Stephanie interrupted. She speedily threw off her sodden jacket, ran through the doorway to the dining room, wound up like she did when pitching a fastball in baseball, and chucked it right into a dish of ice cream, which was about to be served to Deborah. The couple, deep in discussion, didn't seem to notice the ring fly into the sundae, but the waitress looked around, unsure of what she had just seen. She shrugged and set the desserts on Danny and Deborah's table.
A/N: Some of chapter four was really corny, sorry about that! Hope you like this chapter!
