Sarah and Elliot start to go out and Andrew doesn't like his dad going out with her because Elliot and his wife divorced two months earlier. Andrew goes to Vinny about Sarah and if you know my fan fics that should be an interesting conversation. Sarah has some big news. Lorraine's nephew Tom McNulty also comes to the lake. Tom plays middlelinebacker for Ohio State and his team just won The National Championship (I hate it but, it plays into the story.) The ninth Vinny and Lorraine installment.
I don't own any of the Bakers or Murtaughs. I only own my created characters.
Chapter 1: The Lake House
"Bud, you better not be on your cell phone the whole time we're there." Vinny told Bud.
"What if it's a call from HQ in Houston?" Bud then asked him.
"Don't pick it up." Vinny then told him.
"It could be important." Bud then told him.
"If you're on that cell phone talking business with anyone, I'll throw that damnthing in the lake." Vinny then told him.
"You wouldn't do that." Bud then said to him.
"Try me. I dare you. Talk business on your cell phone and see what happens." Vinny warned him.
"I rather not." Bud replied.
Nora walks up to Vinny and gives himan annoyedlook.
"Are you done bothering my husband?" Nora asked Vinny.
"I wasn't bothering him." Vinny told her.
"Vinny, you told Bud that if he talks business on his cell phone you'll throw it in the lake." Nora told him.
"It's like that thing is glued to his ear. He's on vacation. Which means leave work at home." Vinny told her.
"Stop bothering Bud or you'll have to answer to me." Nora told him as she walked away.
"She scares me at times." Bud said to him.
"She scares the crap out of me all the time." Vinny replied.
"Who scares you Dad?" Matt asked him as he came out of the house.
"Your Aunt Nora." Vinny replied.
"Why? She's so nice." Matt said to him.
"She just scares me for some reason." Vinny then told him.
"I have to live with her." Bud told him.
Lorraine now walks up to Vinny and slaps him in the back of the head.
"What was that for?" Vinny asked her rubbing the back of his head.
"Stop bothering Bud." Lorraine told him as she walked away.
"And I live with that." Vinny then told Bud.
Vinny takes his Z there. Matt and Derek are in the Z with Vinny. Lorraine drives the SUV with Danny, Kate D, Brian and Mich in it. Bud, Nora and their daughter Nicole take Bud's car. They leave Chicago and head to Lake Winnetka. Nora and her family stay at Charlie and Ann's house. Vinny , Matt and Derek arrive at his cabin just as Lorraine pulls up.
Everyone gets out of the Z and the SUV. Vinny is wearing a plain black t- shirt with jeans, sneakers a visor and sunglasses on. Lorraine is wearing a light blue t- shirt with blue jeans and sneakers on. Danny is wearing a black Lakeside HS football shirt with white shorts and sneakers. Kate D is wearing a pink t- shirt with jeans and sneakers on. Brian is wearing a skater shirt with jean shorts and sneakers on. Marie is wearing a bright red t- shirt with jeans and sneakers on. Matt is wearing a White Soxs jersey with a White Soxs hat on with jean shorts and sneakers. Derek is wearing a Miami Hurricane shirt with jeans and sneakers on.
"I hate this place." Vinny said to them.
"How could you hate this place?" Lorraine asked him.
"Easy it's in Wisconsin, in farm land andI haven't seen a street light for three hours." Vinny told her.
"I like this place." Matt said to him.
"Well, I love the city. New York City, LA, Miami and even Chicago." Vinny told him.
"This is a great place." Lorraine told him.
"I don't have one of stores out here. It can't be that great if I don't have a store out here." Vinny told her.
"Then build one out here Dad." Danny said to him.
"I don't like this place either." Brian then said to them.
"You don't like this place because everytime we come here you lose in the skateboard competition to Andrew Murtaugh." Danny told him.
"Shut up Danny." Brian said to him.
"You shut up." Danny then told him.
"Now, that you two got that out of your systems let's unpack and enjoy the few hours we have free from your mother's relatives." Vinny told them.
They unpack and Vinny has a few hours before Jake, David and Sarah arrive.
