Disclaimer: My story, Debbie, Vick, house, and a few bridesmaids are mine. But no, Full House is not.
"Hey, everyone! Just so you know, Becky and I are going to take a look at this great house we found yesterday," Jesse informed the family the next day at the kitchen table. "It sounds perfect. A little on the far side—it's not in walking distance—but it's still close compared to other houses."
Michelle appeared by Jesse's side and asked, "Can I come, too?"
"Sure! There's no harm in that," Jesse replied with a special smile."And we get an extra opinion." He motioned for them to follow him out the back door. "Bye!" they called behind them.
"Hello!" Vick called out to Jesse and Rebecca. "So glad you could come and take a look at this charming home." It really was nice, with lots of shrubbery and trees.
"I'm Vick, of course," he introduced himself. "You two must be Jesse and Rebecca. And who is this cute little girl?" he asked with a smile.
"Oh, that's Michelle, my niece," Jesse explained. They were then ushered inside.
"Wow!" was the first word out of all three people. They found themselves in a cozy yet elegant two-story house. All though the rooms were a bit small, they were bright, with many windows to let in the sun rays. Michelle was eagerly running from room to room, squealing with delight at each one, while Rebecca and Jesse took in every detail contributing to their final decision.
"It's a nice house," Jesse commented, not wanting to sound too excited. He had a notebook in his arm and a pencil tucked behind his ear, which he took off to record his likes and dislikes of this house. He noted the few smudges from fingers on the back wall of a bedroom, a chip of paint here, a small carpet stain there—
"Whoa, baby!" Michelle cried out with glee as she surveyed the master bedroom. "This is huge!"
Vick was beaming at Michelle's excitement. "I'm glad you liked it, sweetie." Then he turned to Jesse, who was studying his notes. "Well? What do you think?"
Jesse frowned. "It seems like it needs a lot of work, but I like it, you know? It's comfortable, a good size."
"And wait till you see the sun room!" Michelle added.
Rebecca's eyes widened in surprise. "There's a sun room?" she asked with enthusiasm. She quickly followed Michelle into a bright, window-filled room with a screen door that led to a deck. There were two skylights and many places for plants.
"So, this place is pretty neat," Jesse remarked to Vick casually. "I'm pretty sure the vote is unanimous. Of course, I'll have to come back to discuss other things about the house."
"Of course." Vick nodded. "So you're done looking for today?"
"Yep." Jesse, Rebecca, and Michelle all left the house, thanking Vick.
"How was it, Michelle?" Jesse asked, making her feel important.
"I love it!" Michelle exclaimed gleefully. "Except for the Vick guy," she added hastily. "What a weenie!"
"Michelle!" Jesse scolded. "Vick's not a weenie; he's just—uh, a bit perky."
"That's right," Rebecca agreed. "Now, I, too, love the house, so we're going to look into moving there. All right now, everyone out! Go tell your father all about it, Michelle."
"Dad!" Michelle called from the kitchen. "Where are you?"
Danny's voice rang out from the living room. "I'm in here, honey."
Michelle burst into the living room. "Dad, let me tell you about Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky's new house! It's—"
"Sorry sweetie, not right now," Danny interrupted. "We're going over some wedding details." He raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to greet Debbie?"
Michelle looked up and noticed her father's fiancée sitting next to him. "Debbie!" she cried, even happier. She ran over to give her a hug. Danny laughed. "She got the hugging genes from me."
Michelle let go of the embrace and said, "This day just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?"
Danny couldn't resist laughing again. "Now, back to the wedding," he said. "Joey, of course, is going to be my best man. Do you have your bridesmaids picked out?"
Deborah nodded. "My friendAbby, D.J., and Stephanie are going to be bridesmaids. My sister is flying in from Albuquerque to be my maid of honor, and that's all I'm going to have."
Danny paused. "I would have Jesse be my second man, but I don't think he'll be up to that. And moving on," he continued, "to the reception…"
Michelle had stopped listening long before. She was daydreaming about staying with her Uncle Jesse for weeks in their new house. Then she remembered she wasn't going with them. She grew less excited about the new house. She had to think of a plan! She quietly slipped away and ran to her room, where (thankfully) no one was there.
"Done!" Jesse said three days later as he sauntered into the living room. "I got all the papers signed, I got the key, I got the moving truck coming in"—he looked at his watch—"one hour, we're all packed, and Kimmy's not here! What a great day!"
Danny, forcing himself to smile, said, "Jesse, I'm glad you're happy with this change. But I'm really going to miss you guys."
Jesse clapped his hand on Danny's shoulder. "Hey, we're not moving to Australia or anything! It's only twenty minutes away from here. But I'm going to miss living with everyone too." He headed for the kitchen. "C'mon, let's go get some breakfast before the moving truck gets here."
"I'll be right there," Danny called after him. He sighed. "This house is going to get a lot emptier in an hour," he murmured to himself.
The doorbell rang promptly at 10:00. Jesse swung open the door, expecting the movers to walk in, but instead, Kimmy Gibbler stepped in and gave Jesse a hug. "I going to miss you, Hairboy," she said passionately.
Jesse backed away until she let go. "Uh, go find D.J.," he said.
Just then, the movers arrived, and Jesse directed them toward the attic to retrieve the boxes. "Becky!" he called when everything was ready to go. "Could you bring the boys down? It's time to move in!"
"New house!" Nicky said as Rebecca walked down the stairs holding Nicky and Alex's hands. When they reached the bottom step, the twins toddled over to Jesse, who picked Nicky up while Rebecca carried Alex.
"All right!" Jesse yelled. "New house, here we come!" Their goodbyes had already been said that morning, so they took off immediately. The movers had lent them a van so they could put extra boxes in, but there wasn't much need for it. They strapped into the van's leather seats and drove off.
Back in the trunk of the van, Michelle threw off the blanket that was covering her and quietly sat up. Her plan was going well so far—all she needed to do now was sneak into the house without anyone noticing!
