Disclaimer: Sadly, I have no association with any of "Full House," but I do have "Debbie the Devil" and my story. Oh, there's Vick, the real-estate agent, and the house—they're creations of my mind. That's it.
A/N: Sorry about the ending in Chapter 7. It's not even really a cliffhanger; it's just a poor effort to be one. I couldn't think of a good cliffhanger, so I just left it at that. (To APWW06—if you didn't see it in the reviews, I have no idea why I put that Jesse was watching cartoons. Somehow I mistook him for Joey. Sorry about that!)
"Listen to this," Jesse told his wife excitedly. "'Looking for a house with space and privacy? Then come visit this welcoming colonial! Beautiful, spacious home in the hearts of San Francisco! Four bedrooms, two point five bathroom, with central heating, brick fireplace, ceiling fan, and air-conditioning. A must-see! Wall-to-wall carpeting in every bedroom, with hardwood flooring in living, dining, and family rooms. Prices negotiable! Call Vick for details.'" Listed beneath the description were the price and address, along with real-estate agent Vick Bolden's phone number.
Becky bit her lip. "It does sound nice," she commented, "but it's farther away from here then I expected. How do you think the family will react?"
Jesse waved them off like waving a fly away. "Sure! They'll be cool. We can't still get from here to there in maybe twenty minutes," he assured her breezily, but deep inside, he wasn't so sure.
"Stephanie, can you help me pick out my 'Flower Girl' dress to wear to Dad's wedding?" Michelle asked her sister. "Should I pick the silky, V-neck one with the ruffles, or the lacy gown with a bell-shaped skirt and a scoop neck?"
Stephanie, who had been showing off her own dress choices to a group of friends, groaned inwardly. She had choices to make for herself first. "Michelle, can't you see I'm busy with my friends? Please stop bothering me! And besides, when have you started to care about what you wore?"
Gia stepped forward and leaned down, as if mocking Michelle's short figure. "Little Michelle," she said in a sugary sweet voice, "why don't you go play with your little animal toys? They'll pick a dress for you."
Michelle gave Gia a disbelieving look. "Why don't you go talk to my stuffed animals? They've got just as much brain as you—maybe more. You'll learn something from them."
While Stephanie's other friends tried to suppress their snorts and giggles, Stephanie shooed her sister away. "Out!" she ordered. "Get out!"
Michelle looked her up and down, looking disgusted, and said, "Don't have a cow, Miss Piggy!" She whirled around and left the room making an extra effort to slam the door loudly behind her.
Stephanie muttered, "How rude!" She then turned back to her friends to choose her perfect dress.
"UNCLE JESSE!" Michelle boomed through the door of the attic. "I need to talk to you!"
Jesse and Rebecca, who were still on the phone with the real-estate agent Vick, turned around in surprise. Jesse handed the phone to Rebecca and jogged down the attic steps to open the door. "Hey, munchkin!" he said brightly. "What's up?"
Michelle's face was in a pout. "Stephanie keeps kicking me out of our room!" she complained. "And she won't even talk to me because all her friends are there!"
"Didn't this same thing happen a couple of months ago?" Jesse wondered aloud, confused. "I thought Stephanie promised to spend more time with you."
Michelle thought back to the time her father and Gia's mother were dating, and how she felt left out since D.J. had Kimmy, Stephanie had Gia, and her father had Gia's mother. She almost laughed when she remembered wearing the punk clothes and acting mean to scare away Gia's mother. She also remembered Stephanie's promise, and pouted again.
"That's right! Stephanie didn't keep her promise!" Michelle cried in indignation, and then became even angrier when Jesse shushed her and explained that Rebecca was on the phone.
"Uncle Jesse!" Michelle wailed. "Don't you care that I'm being left out?"
Jesse nodded. "Oh, of course I do!" he told her. "In fact, why don't we go have a chat her right now?"
Michelle grinned. "I like that idea!" They hurried down to Stephanie and Michelle's bedroom.
"And now, I have to choose a hairstyle," Stephanie began, smiling at her friends. "The choices are all really cool, but—" She was cut off when the door banged open and Michelle and Jesse were standing in the doorway.
"How rude!" came Stephanie's utterance again. "Don't you people at least knock?"
"If Michelle knocked, it would ruin the mood," Jesse explained.
"And besides, this is my room, too!" Michelle added angrily. "I shouldn't have to knock to get into my own room!"
Stephanie sighed and looked at her sister. "Michelle, what's you problem? I'm talking to my friends now, and you keep interrupting."
Michelle was appalled at her sister's rudeness. "You've got a bad attitude," she accused. "How can you be so mean! You promised to spend more time with me, but you never did. I can't trust you. In fact, I'm never talking to you, ever!"
Jesse was going to put in a word, but Michelle grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the room.
Stephanie nodded in nonchalance. "Cool," she said to herself. "No more little sisters to annoy me day and night." She turned back to her friends with satisfaction.
Jesse returned to the attic with Michelle by his side. "How'd it go?" he asked Rebecca.
She grinned. "We're going to check it out tomorrow! Vick sounded really nice, and he said the house is absolutely beautiful."
Jesse smiled. "I told you, it's theone."
A/N: This chapter was just a little bit longer than the others, but hope you liked it!
