Chapter 15: Halloween Part 1
Vinny comes down the stairs with a big smile on his face. "Why are you so happy?" Lorraine asked him. "It's Vinny's favorite holiday." Joey responded. "I thought you two left?" Lorraine asked them. "We can't leave until tomorrow. We have to see what pranks Vinny pulls today." Tony then replied. "Can't you like a normal holiday like Christmas?" Lorraine asked Vinny. "What's so great about being nice to everyone?" Vinny then asked her. "What about Thanksgiving?" She asked him. "My dad, my brothers and me never ate turkey. We had baked ziti. The only good thing about Thanksgiving is that the Detriot Lions are actually on TV." Vinny replied. "How about Easter?" Lorraine asked him. "I hate rabbits." Vinny told her. "You're hopeless." Lorraine told him. "You just figured that one out." Vinny replied.
Vinny is in the teachers lounge at school and is pouring vegetable oil on the floor. "What's up Vinny?" Keith asked as he walked in. "Nothing much." Vinny replied as he was leaving. Keith slips on the vegetable oil. "That son of a bitch!" Keith yells as he gets up and runs after Vinny. Vinny sees Keith running after him. 'Took him longer then I thought.' Vinny thought to himself before he ran down the hall. Keith is chasing Vinny and screaming "Get back here you Italian bastard!" . Tom sees Vinny running for his life. "What did you do now?" Tom asked him. "Can't talk. Ask the guy chasing me." Vinny replied to Tom as he was still running. Vinny runs into his classroom and locks the door. "Good afternoon class." Vinny said as he was catching his breath. Keith is pounding on the door. "Should I let Mr.Owens in Mr.DiMiranda?" Jake asked him. "If you do I'll give you detention fora month." Vinny replied. Keith is screaming "Open this door asshole! Don't make me break this door down!". Vinny looks at him and puts his hand to his ear like he can't hear what Keith is saying. "You bastard! You can hear me! The Lions suck!" Keith yelled as he left. "Where did we leave off yesterday?" Vinny asked as he continued the lesson.
School is over and Keith is still looking for Vinny. "Jake have you seen your brother-in-law?" Keith asked Jake. "Not since fifth period." Jake replied. Vinny is coming out of the school and sees Keith. "Holy crap!" Vinny yells as he turns to go to his car to give Jake a ride home. "Excuse me Jake." Keith said as he ran after Vinny. Jake now walks home because his ride home was about to get his ass kicked. As Jake is walking by the football field he can see Keith chasing Vinny around the field and Vinny is dodging the players trying to use them to hold up Keith. He hears his father yelling "Vinny what the hell are you doing? Don't come near me! Don't hide behind me!" For a person with a bad knee Vinny can still run pretty well.
Jake gets home and sees Sarah going to Vinny and Lorraine's house. 'Oh god. What's she up to now?' Jake thought to himself after seeing this. He goes over to Vinny and Lorraine's house and walks in the front door. "Hey Jake." Lorraine said as she saw him. "Hey Lorraine. Where's Sarah?" Jake asked her. "Around." Lorraine replied. Jake goes upstairs and finds Sarah going through Vinny's closet. "What are you doing?" Jake asked her. "I'm studying my target." Saraha replied. Jake looks in the closet and sees a bunch of Yankee jerseys. Vinny has numbers 2,7,8,9,15,16,21,22,23,24,35,42,46 and 51. He has the home and away jerseys of 7,9,16,23 and 51. He also has alot more football jerseys in his closet. The ones that stood out the most was Vinny's Detriot Lion 20 jersey because he had two of them and an allstar jersey of that player. He also had an Oklahoma State jersey with the number 21 on it. He also had his Michigan jerseys in there with his number 96 and his name on the back. He had eight of them. One home and one away from each season he played, he also had four Bowl Game jerseys in there. "This guy is a nut with Yankee jerseys." Sarah told Jake. "He's a sports nut period." Jake replied. "Look it's his jerseys from college." Sarah said to Jake as she took them out of his closet. "Sarah don't mess those up. Vinny will kill you." Jake said to Sarah. "What's going to happen to them?" Sarah asked him. When Sarah asked Jake that Joey and Tony walk in on them. "What are you two doing in here?" Joey asked them. "Nothing." Jake and Sarah replied at the same time. "Then why are Vinny's college jerseys out of his closet?" Tony then asked them. "We were only looking at them I swear." Jake replied. "We don't care just as long as you two put them back where you found them." Joey told them. They walk out of the room. Jake lets out a sigh of relief. "You were so scared when they walked in." Sarah said to him. "Let's put these back before Lorraine or Vinny come in here." Jake told her. "Fine." Sarah said as she put them back. "They don't go there." Jake said as he put them where he thought they went. Jake and Sarah get into a fight. They are arguing over where Vinny had his college jerseys. They pull down the rod in there that was holding all his jerseys and the jerseys fall on the floor. "Look what you did now?" Jake said to Sarah. "Me? You did it." Sarah replied. Lorraine walks into the room and sees what they had done. "What did you guys do?" Lorraine asked them calmly. "It was Sarah's fault!" Jake yelled. "It was your fault!" Sarah yelled back. Joey and Tony walk into the room and see what Sarah and Jake did. They pick up the rod and place it back in like nothing happened. They try to put the jerseys in the order that Vinny had it or close to without him realizing something happened. "How did you two do that?" Sarah asked them. "We also pulled down a rod like that in Vinny's house in New York." Joey responded. "Did Vinny find out?" Jake asked them. "Of course. He helped us pull the rod down." Tony replied. Vinny now walks in the door covered in grass and mud. "I guess Mr.Owens caught you?" Jake asked. "I slipped on the field and then he tossed on the grass." Vinny replied. "What happened to your face?" Lorraine asked him. "It ran into Keith's fist." Vinny replied. "Mr.Owens hit you?" Sarah asked him. "No, I actually ran into Keith's fist. I was falling and when I got up I turned to run and when I turned around he was standing behind me and I ran into his fist. He was talking to your dad and he was explaining everything to him and when he raised his fist in anger he hit me in the face." Vinny then replied. Vinny goes upstairs to change. When Vinny gets to his and Lorraine's room he goes into his closet. "Who the hell moved my jerseys!" Vinny yelled. "We'll see you tonight Lorraine." Sarah said as she was getting up to leave. "Where are you going?" Lorraine asked her. "Home." Sarah replied.
