Chapter 6: Schools Starts Early In Miami

Don invites the Bakers over to his house. The Bakers get to Don's house. Lorraine and Charlie arewith them because they came down for a visit.

"Hi Don." Kate said as Don invited them in.

"Hey guys." Don replied.

They all say 'Hi' to Don. The kids go outside and the adults stay inside.

Outside Lorraine sees Don's othergrandson Danny. (Danny is 6 ft and has medium blonde hair. He's wearing a Michigan shirt with jean shorts and black sneakers on.) Lorraine goes up to him.

"Hi." Lorraine said to him.

"Hey." Danny replied.

"I'm Lorraine Baker." Lorraine introduced herself.

"I'm Danny Mantia." Danny told her as he shook her hand.

Charlie goes up to Lorraine and Danny.

"How old are you?" Charlie asked Danny.

"I'm twenty." Danny replied.

"Excuse us for a second." Charlie told him as he took Lorraine and walked away.

"He's too old for you." Charlie told her.

"He's only a year older then me." Lorraine told him.

"He's still older then you even if it is by a year." Charlie told her.

Lorraine shakes her head at Charlie and walks back over to Danny.

"What college do you go to?" Lorraine asked him.

"I'm enrolled at the University of Michigan. I'm on the football team there." Danny told her.

"Really, a football player?" Lorraine asked him.

Lorraine and Danny continue to talk. Mark M and Sarah bump into each other.

"Watch it jerk." Sarah told him.

"You watch it." Mark M replied.

"Why are you such a jerk?" Sarah asked him.

"I'm not a jerk you are." Mark M told her.

"Whatever." Sarah scoffed at him as she walked away.

Mark M walks away.

"One more month of summer." Jake said to Max.

"I wish." Max replied with a laugh.

"What do you mean by that?" Jake asked him.

"School starts next Monday Dude." Max told him.

"No way." Jake said disappointed.

"Believe it." Max told him.

"All schools start down here this early?" Mike then asked him.

"Yeah." Max replied.

"That sucks." Jake told him.

"Not really. Since we start school in August, school ends in May." Max told him.

"I guess that's cool." Mike told him.

Jake sighs and shakes his head.

"I miss my Dad." Mike said to Max.

"He'll be back on Saturday. The football teamgets back on Saturday." Max told him.

"It's just that we're in a new place because of him and he isn't even here with us." Mike told him.

Back in the house the Don is talking to Kate, his two sons Jesse and Elvis and Torie Jesse's wife. (Jesse is 6'1" with medium blonde hair. He's wearing a Dolphin shirt with jeans and white sneakers. Elvis is 5'11" with short black hair. He's wearing a white plain t-shirt with shorts and red sneakers on. Torie is 5'10" with long blonde hair. She's wearing a pink shirt with jeans and white tennis shoes on.)

"It must be tough handling nine kids while Tom is at camp." Torie said to Kate.

"It is but, I know on Saturday he'll be home." Kate told her.

Mike comes running into the house and hugs Kate.

"Mom, Sarah said I was annoying and a cry baby." Mike told her.

Sarah then comes into the house.

"Whatever he said isn't true." Sarah said to Kate.

"That's not true. Mom, she did call me annoying and a crybaby." Mike told her again.

"Mom, he's lying." Sarah told her.

Mark M then walks in.

"Getting into trouble again?" Mark M asked Sarah with a smirk on his face.

"None of you business." Sarah told him.

"Whatever." Mark M said to her as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Mark don't start." Jesse warned him.

"But, Dad I didn't start it." Mark M argued.

"Who's getting in trouble now?" Sarah asked him.

"Shut up." Mark M told her.

"Why don't you make me?" Sarah asked him.

"Okay. I think that we had enough fun today. Don, thanks for inviting us to your lovely home." Kate said to him as she rounded up the kids and went back home.
