Chapter 16: The New Style

"Hey, get up" Jay smacked Spinner on his face with his palm.

"What's the wrong with you," Spinner asked after sleeping on the couch because Jay had to take the one and only room left. Jenny had locked the door to her room even though she was sleeping in the main house.

"It's time to get up," Jay said while pulling the sheets off of Spinner. "Ewww , Jay turned his head after revealing Spinner only slept in his boxer briefs and nothing else."I did not need to see that,"

"Well maybe next time," Spinner grabbed the sheets from Jay and wrapped it around his waist."You'll think before acting."

"Whatever but." Jay sniffed the air."Did you leave something out last night?"

"No, why"

"I smell something ripe." Jay held his nose.

"Oh sorry that was me," Spinner apologized. "I think it was all those burritos I ate at Taco Queen."

"Uggh," Jay held his nose."Just get dressed and take some Beano or something while you're at it." Jay disappeared into his room.

"This is going to be one looong week." Spinner said before holding his noise after passing gas."Next time I'm getting the taco platter."

"I can't believe you did that," Emma said to Paige after hanging up her cell after the fifth telemarketer called.

"Dylan and I have been doing that since I can remember.When my mom and dad leave us at home for the weekends we always do the forwarding." Paige answered. "Mom always checking to make sure we're at home at night but little did she know we transfered all our calls to our cells. Call forwarding were would I be without you."

"We'll it's annoying," Emma turned down the volume on her cell after looking at her caller id and seeing it was another telemarketer.

"Maybe you guys should get that Telebuster or whatever my mom has," Paige replied.

"We'll, were rarely in the house when they call so Snake didn't see a need to get it," Emma answered.

"I just can't believe we're on our way," Paige exclaimed.

"Yeah, Jimmy is going to freak." Hazel replied.

"Jimmy isn't the only one who's going to freak," Manny mumbled.

"We'll we could've stayed at home." Emma whispered to Manny."You're not getting all edgy because you found out Craig's there with Jimmy."

"No," Manny answered rather quickly.

"Hey what are you two whispering about," Hazel asked while looking in her rear-view mirror."No secrets, were going to be in this car for a long time so there's no need to hide anything from anyone, we're all friends and friends tell each other everything."

"Oh, Manny's just upset because she forgot her hairdryer." Emma replied. "I told her she could use mine, so problem solved."

"Yeah, we wouldn't want Manny's hair to frizz up," Paige mumbled. "I don't think big hair is in this summer."

"We'll I guess you wouldn't know," Manny angrily replied back. "Since your hairs taking up most of the space in this car."

"My hair isn't as big as you're." Paige screamed.

"Stop it," Hazel interrupted Paige and Manny's little disagreement by honking on the car horn."Now do you want me to pull over until you two settled down."

"No,"Manny mumbled.

Hazel gave Paige a threatening angry glance. "No," Paige mumbled.

"Good," Hazel stated before glancing at Emma.

"Hey don't look at me." Emma exclaimed. "I didn't start a thing."

"I know Emma but I just have to make sure everyone is going to be cool from now on." Hazel said. "We're going to be in this car for a long time and we at least need to be civil until then." Hazel looked at Manny and Paige." You know what I don't care whose blackmailing who and what not were all in this together and we need to remain civil until we're back in Degrassi then whatever vendetta you guys have for one another can resume but until then we're all going to play nice nice as if we were all BFF's. I don't want to spoil Jimmy's vacation by bringing more troubles in his midst." Hazel noticed a Baskin Robbins stop on the billboard a quarter a mile ahead. "Anyone up for ice cream." No one said a word. "Don't all speak at once." Hazel joked before pulling over to the stop. "Maybe a treat will calm you guys down."

'That girl of yours is one class act." Jay grabbed another helping of pancakes, sausage, bacon and eggs."This breakfast she made is soo good my mother never cooked like this although she never cooked anything that wasn't microwavable."

"Jenny isn't my girl and I wouldn't be too surprise if someone else made this." Spinner poured himself a glass of orange juice."I never seen Jenny lift a finger unless it was to cause trouble but the breakfast is good it kinda taste like Carmen's but it's not as good as hers."

"Who's Carmen.," Jay asked while scarfing down a forkful of pancakes."I hope she's Jenny's equally hot sister."

"No you perv, she's Jenny's mom." Spinner replied."I'm surprised I haven't seen her around."

"That's because she isn't here." Jenny walked into the kitchen.

"Whoa," Jay said while gawking at Jenny. She was wearing a very short hot pink terrycloth shorts with matching hot pink stilettos, white tube top and a hot pink terry cloth jacket.

"Don't stare," Jenny replied to Jay."You're eyes are going to stay like that."

"Well if they are." Jay got up from the kitchen table and walked over to Jenny." I hope their stuck on you because you are.."

"What my friend is trying to say," Spinner interrupted. "Is you look really nice today,Jenny,"

"Thanks Tub, I mean Spin." Jenny kissed him on the cheek.

"What about me." Jay asked

Jenny ignored him."My mom's gone she went to visit family in Cuba. That's why I'm here she wanted me to look over the place and keep an eye on Jimmy until she returns after Labor Day. I didn't want to but she made me plus I have to stay here anyway to do stupid promotions for LOOL."

"What's LOOL." Spinner asked.

"It's just my stupid job nothing really to concern you about."Jenny replied. "I have to go," Jenny grabbed her purse and put on her name brand sunglasses."There's plenty of food in the fridge and just call me if you guys need anything. Oh yeah I hid your car behind the dead end I put a sheet over it. It would be wise if you guys make sure to keep a look out for Jimmy and his friend. Oh yeah by the way I did make the breakfast from my mother's recipe and Fonz it must have been really good because you got some syrup on your nose, Adiós Amigos." Jenny shut the door.

Spinner laughed after noticing a big glob of syrup on Jay's nose."Shut up, she wants me," Jay grabbed a napkin and wiped his nose.

"Jenny's not your type and I wouldn't get too close to her unless you want her to sick Jefferson on you." Spinner walked to the front door. "Oh yeah I forgot to ask Jenny if she wants me to feed Jefferson. I'll be back I'm going to the main house."

"Hurry back I want to leave sometime tod..."Jay said before Spinner slammed the door. "Great," Jay looked around."I hope Jefferson doesn't find his way through the doggy door in the back." Jay ran to the back to make sure the door was closed.

"OK which way do I turn Jimmy," Craig said to Jimmy. The guys had just arrived in Southampton and they were tired but real excited.

"Right," Jimmy said. "Make sure you keep right or you're going to end up at a dead end."

"I will," Craig replied he came across a big gate."Is this it?"

"What," Jimmy looked out the car window. "This can't be the place it's too." Jimmy paused he noticed large gold initials on the gate"

"IXB, what's that stand for," Craig asked.

"Issac Xavier Brooks," Jimmy replied. "This is it."

"I thought you said you're uncle made a couple of changes but this is nice." Craig exclaimed."It's nothing like the rustic cottage you showed me in pictures."

"Yeah I'm a little amazed myself." Jimmy said. "Uncle Issac always goes out when he does something but he really outdid himself this time."

"Look,"Craig pointed out after driving up to house."He has a wheel chair accessible ramp paved in gold paint."

"Yeah," Jimmy mumbled."We better wake up Sean since we're here."

Craig woke up Sean and after the shock from looking at the place they took out the car ramp and helped Jimmy until he could get to the front door. "Let me get out the key," Jimmy pulled out his keys and opened the door. "My uncle decided to keep the door lock's since they were handcrafted by my grandfather himself. Issac didn't have the heart to throw the old locks out along with other stuff that had to go, my grandfather built the cottage with his bare hands so it was kind of hard to part with the old cottage when we had to tear it down because the city said it was becoming a health hazard." Jimmy hit the walls. "There was a little of asbestos's left that was used for installation."

"Maybe we should get our things," Craig interrupted Jimmy's unofficial tour of the house.

"Let me just show you guys the game room Issac blabbed on about building at the last family get together." Jimmy replied. Sean and Craig followed Jimmy around the large house. "He said it should be right around the corner from the library." Jimmy stopped at a large brown door. "This is probably it." Jimmy turned the door knob. "What are you doing here," Jimmy exclaimed.
