Chapter 4: Getting Along
Jake, David and Sarah are hiding in Jake's room with the door locked.
"Do you think they're still looking for us?" Jake asked them.
Jesse is knocking on the door. "Hey David you have to come out to go home sooner or later!" Jesse yelled from outside the door.
"Does that answer your question?" David asked him.
Now Lorraine is banging on the door. "Sarah, Jake get out here right now!" She yelled from outside the door.
"Why don't you two come in here?" Sarah asked them from inside the room.
"Because the door's locked Butch!" Lorraine yelled from outside the room. Jesse and her walk away from the door and go downstairs.
"So, I can stay here with you guys for a few weeks?" David asked them.
"That's cool with me dude." Jake told him.
"Jake he was joking!" Sarah yelled at him.
"No, I wasn't. I was actually serious about that. If I come out of this room Jesse is going to kill me." David explained.
"He didn't seem that big." Jake said to him.
"Not that big? He plays middle linebacker. He has to be big." Sarah said to Jake.
"He also benches 200 pounds and can toss me around like a rag doll. He can't be that big." Daivd said to Jake sarcastically.
"I get it Jesse's big and strong." Jake told them.
"So, why are you guys hiding from Lorraine?" David asked them.
"She's tougher then she looks." Jake said to him.
"She will be mad at us for a like a split second then become nice the next second." Sarah explained.
"I don't hear anything." Jake said to them. They look out the door and don't see anybody. Then Mike and James sneak up behind them.
"Hey guys!" Mike yelled from behind them. Jake, Sarah and David jump at the sound of his voice. James and Mike are in hysterics and on the floor holding their sides.
"I'm going to kill you Mike!" Sarah yelled at him as she chased after him.
"Aren't you going to deal with James?" Jake asked him.
"Later. Let's go downstairs and get something to eat." David said to him.
"Ow! Sarah stop it!" Mike yelled as Sarah had him in a head lock.
Kate goes upstairs to break Sarah and Mike apart. "No, more watching wrestling for you two." Kate told them.
"But, Mom Sarah started." Mike pleaded with her with a sad face.
"You're the one who started it! You and James shouldn't of scared me, Jake and David like that." Sarah said to Mike.
"You guys shouldn't have been spying on Lorraine and Jesse." Mike then said to her.
They continue to argue and Kate has to seperate them.
Jake and David go downstairs. David sees Jesse shaking his fist at him and mouthing the words 'You're dead meat when we get home.' David is looking at the ground now.
"I'm glad Lorraine's a girl. She isn't as strong as your brother Jesse." Jake told him.
"I gave Jesse permission to pound on you." Lorraine told him as she walked by him. Jake now stares at the ground also.
"Don't worry Jake, he won't pound on you too bad. You're not his brother." David told him.
Everyone is now eating dinner. It's going smoothly. At the kids table in the dinning room Nigel and Kyle throw food to Gunner from the table. Mike and Sarah are still arguing about who started the fight. David and Jake are just sitting there listening to Kim and Jessica lecture Nigel and Kyle about how immature it was to throw food to Gunner from the table. James is just listening to Mike and Sarah arguing.
At the adult table in the kitchen. Don and Tom are talking to each other about who is going to win the first game. Christine (Don's wife) and Kate are shaking their heads at them. While Jesse and Lorraine are having a good time talking to each other. Henry is being himself and not paying attention to anything while he was eating.
