O'Connor Household

Sunday Morning

10:30 AM

Los Angeles

No One's POV

The Weekend was almost over. Today was Sunday and everyone would be taken advantage of their free time before heading back to work/school. It had been two weeks since the events of Game Night had taken place and May was slowly coming to a close. Next Week Darryl would graduate from the eighth grade. Nothing spectacular like a high school graduation; just a small ceremony and a supervised party/dance in the Gym. This morning Brian just woke up and felt like working out. Now with it being 10:30 a.m the older blond entered into his house just as he left it. No one seemed to up yet which was surprising; Not for Darryl but for Mia she's usually the first one up and already making breakfast. Speaking of that subject Brian was starving!; He now realized that it would have probably been a good time to, eat something before heading out. Hopefully, there's some leftover burgers or chicken wings from Friday's barbeque. But when Brian open the fridge his eyes literally almost popped out their sockets.

"What the hell!; Where's the food?"

The blond searched through the freezer and all the cabinets and couldn't find any food in sight

"I don't believe this!; I could have sworn we had food yesterday!"

Brian pondered on the situation until he realized Mia, probably had answers

"MIA!, MIA!, MIA!"

He was halfway up the stairs until Darryl, came out his room with a Ps3 controller in one hand

"Brian Shhhhh!; Mia is sick"

"Sick?; Since when?"

"After you left this morning she started throwing up and now she's drinking some peppermint tea for her headache"

"Oh poor thing; I should check on her"

-Time Skip-

With a series of light knocks Brian and Darryl entered the room Mia was occupying and was slightly shocked at its state. It looked as though a tornado had touched down twice !. Clothes are off the hangers, tissues are covering the bed, trash overflowing and dishes covered both the desk and dresser.

"Damn!; I thought your room was bad" Brian whispered to his brother

"Thanks," Darryl said sarcastically

The two moved through the mess and stopped at the foot of Mia's bed

"Mia….Mia…..Mia"

"What?" Mia groaned

"Where's all the food ?"

"Gone Brian…..If you're hungry then get some fast food"

"Well, what about tomorrow? and the rest of the week?"

"I'll just have Letty pick up a few things"

"That's not necessary…..Darryl and I will do the shopping"

The young blond gave his brother a Peeved look

"We Will?; You sure about that Bri?"

"Yeah Darryl has a point; When's the last time you went grocery shopping?"

"That's not important; What matters is you getting better"

Mia was still hesitant about sending the O'Connors out for groceries but, maybe if she gave them a list it would be followed.

"Alright fine I'll give you this one chance; Let me give you a list"

Mia grabbed a scrap piece of paper and began to write down the following things….

Eggs

Turkey Bacon

Milk

Two Containers of Green Veggie Blend

Orange Juice pulp free

Cereal

Lunch meat

Bread

Olive Oil Mayo

Lettuce

Tomatoes

Protein Shakes

Bananas

Ground Turkey

Four Cans of Soup

Lipton Tea (100 Count)

Vegetable Oil

Bag of Chicken Wings

"This should be enough for now; I'll get more stuff once I feel better"

Brian scanned through the list and read off every item in his head

"We got this Darryl; This should be easy"

Car Ride to Grocery Store

"Brian are you sure about this?" Darryl asked his brother for the hundredth time

"Yes I am; Don't worry little brother we got this" Brian assured

"That's what I'm afraid of"

"Come on Darryl have a little faith"

"I will once you actually get the stuff on the list"

"Fair enough…..So you excited for summer vacation?"

Darryl sighed "Yeah"

"You don't sound too happy about it"

"I am its just that…..Starting in September I'll be a high schooler !"

"Don't remind me…..You're growing up too fast"

"Exactly why can't I be five again?: Without a care in the world"

"Are you nervous to start high school?"

"Yes very"

"Oh Darryl there's nothing to it; It's just like middle school but with older kids and more freedom"

"That still doesn't help but thanks"

"You'll be fine I'm not worried"

"I still am…...anyways do you think we'll ever find Carter Verone and his crew?"

"We've found our enemies in the past so; I'm positive we will eventually"

"Okay, because once we do….You don't even wanna know!

"Trust me we've also got some unfinished business to attend"

The remainder of the car ride was mainly silent; Five minutes later Brian pulled into the parking lot of Ralph's Supermarket

_F and F: Family Chronicles_

Inside Ralph's

Dom, Tej, and Roman stood near the front entrance inside Ralph's; Waiting for the O'Connor's

"Oh hey guys what a coincidence bumping into you here" Brian joked

Everyone was slightly confused at first especially Darryl

"You told us to meet you here" Tej pointed out

"Yes I did for a really good reason"

The younger blond turned towards his brother and said

"I thought you said we didn't need help hmmm"

"O'Connor what's really going on?" Dom inquired crossing his arms

"Yeah brah I was still asleep when you texted" Roman added

Brian sighed before speaking "Okay the truth is that…..Mia is sick and there's no food at our house. She was gonna call Letty and tell her to it but, I volunteered myself and Darryl to do it"

"Which he said "Oh don't worry Mia we got this" Darryl added

"So you called us for help?" Tej asked

"Pretty much"

"Well let's prove my sister wrong; Did she give you a list?"

"Uh yeah One sec"

Brian reached into his pocket and pulled out a folded piece of notebook paper; Tej, Roman, and Dom gathered around and read over the list

"Brah this gonna be a piece of cake," Roman said rubbing his chin

"Yeah It can't be too hard to follow a simple list" Dom added

"Okay well since you guys have this under control; I'm gonna browse around, text me when you're done" Darryl announced

"Will do" Brian said

_F and F: Family Chronicles_

Tej and Roman

Aisle 2 (Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate, Etc…)

"Okay the list says Lipton Tea 100 count, But what flav….."

Tej looked around and seen that Rome was nowhere in sight

"Rome where the hell did you run off too?"

"Aisle 4! Come quick"

He just shook head and headed over to Aisle 4

"Look what I found!; Taki's in a bigger bag for only $2.99!"

"Rome man we need to get what's off the list first" Tej mentioned

"But it's takis fool!; You're telling me you don't want any?"

"I do but…."

"HA! You said I do; which means you do"

"Okay fine put them in the cart; Then let's get back to aisle…"

Tej froze for a minute after setting eyes on a bag of muddy buddies

"Are those muddy buddies?!"

"You mean Puppy chow?"

"Puppy what?"

"That's what my health teacher always called it"

"Hmmm, interesting…..We better grab a few bags of these"

"What happened to getting stuff off the list?" Rome asked sarcastically

"You can always add things you don't need; Besides I'll just burn off those extra calories later on during my workout session"

"Smart thinking…..I like it"

_F and F: Family Chronicles_

Brian and Dom

"Hey Dom look Miller light six pack is on sale" Brian pointed out looking at the sales sign

"Bri you know I'm more of a Corona man"

"Yeah well your Corona is like double of what Miller light is"

Dom read the price tag and said "Damn when the hell did beer get some expensive!?"

"Since we live in California"

"True; We better stock up for this week's barbecue"

"Yet you're still gonna come out more money" Brian mentioned

"We're millionaires O'Connor; This is barely putting a dent in my pocket"

"Suit yourself; I'm gonna get some Miller for me"

After putting both packs of beer in the cart; not much room remained and would probably need a second one.

"Okay, Beer off the list; what's next?" Dom asked

"Breakfast foods"

_F and F: Family Chronicles_

Darryl

Darryl was now done with his portion of the shopping; Unlike his brothers he actually got food off the list and instead of junk. If he wanted to reverse his Diabetes then he'll need to continue eating healthy even if nobody else would. The young blond had a variety of ingredients for nutritional smoothies; protein shakes, vegetables for side dishes, portion control snacks, and chocolate bars; Just in case his blood sugar drops suddenly.

Now he had been waiting by the checkout lanes for at least twenty minutes now. Brian and the others already said they were on their way, but still no sign of them. The blond sighed and decided to play Subway surfers on his phone to make time pass.

Ten minutes later they all came into a view with carts filled with crap.

"Oh boy Mia, is gonna be furious," Darryl thought in his head

Later on that Day…

O'Connor Household

Sunday Evening

5:38 PM

Los Angeles

"What the hell...Darryl O'Connor get down here!" Mia yelled

Darryl came down rushing down the stairs; hoping that he wasn't in trouble

"Hi, Mia how are things?"

"Where's all the stuff I put on the list this morning?"

"At the grocery store"

"Why did you let Brian get all this beer?; Junk food and other unnecessary bullcrap!"

"Because I was doing my own shopping"

"I see at least you remember to get healthy things; Also my soup and tea"

"I kind of figured Brian wouldn't get it"

"You figured right; Where is your brother anyway?"

"Not really sure; he just said don't wait up for him"

"Okay and don't worry Darryl I'm not mad at you; The exact opposite actually"

"Really?"

"Yeah you are taking care of your diabetes all by yourself; Good Job"

"Thanks; So am I good to go?"

"Yeah"

As Darryl was about to head back to his room Letty, came into the kitchen.

"Hey Letty"

"What's up kiddo?"

"About to play some video games"

"Have fun"

"Oh don't worry I will"

Now that O'Connor was heading back upstairs; It gave Mia and Letty a chance to catch up.

"How are you feeling?; Dom told me you were sick" Letty asked

"Yeah I woke up this morning feeling very nauseous, dizzy and a massive migraine" Mia said

"Awe you poor thing: Why didn't you call me?"

"Because Brian volunteered to take care of everything"

"Oh Yeah…...How'd that go?"

"Just like I thought it would; Didn't get a single thing on the list. At least Darryl remembered the soup and tea"

"But aren't you mad?"

Mia shook her head no and Letty seemed slightly confused "I have something to show you.."

The two walked towards the basement and headed down the stairs; After reaching the bottom Mia headed toward the fridge and opened it. Inside was every food known to man; Every shelf was stocked with little to no wiggle room for other items.

"Did you really think I would trust Brian to do the grocery shopping?" Mia laughed

"How long have this stuff been down here?" Letty inquired

"I'd say about two weeks; This is just for emergencies like this"

"So this was just a test?"

"Pretty much"

Letty gave Mia a high five "Girl you are so bad"

"Yeah I know"
