The next day Louise woke up early. Her dream day was finally here, and she had no intention of wasting a second. The young girl walked out of her room to find her father waiting for her. "Hey daddy." Louise said. Bob smiled and nodded as his youngest took her breakfast and sat down to eat. "Excited?" He asked. Louise nodded. "Can't wait!" "So where is this concert again?" Bob asked. "San Diego." Louise watched as her father spit his coffee all over the counter in shock. "SAN DIEGO?!" Bob yelled. "Yeah." Louise nodded. "That's across the freaking country, you can't go alone!" "I'm not, Reggie's Uncle lives out there and he's gonna be with us for every part of the trip." Louise said. "What do you mean, EVERY part?" Louise sighed. "I mean whenever we need to get something, either him or one of his bodyguards will be with us." Bob sighed. "Promise?" "Promise." Bob looked at her seriously. "No Louise. This isn't some drive by promise you can make. This isn't a promise. This isn't a pinky promise. Do you MEGA promise?" Louise snickered. "Really Dad? When was the last-." "June 24th, 2 years ago. You promised not to set Frond on fire if you got held back." Louise thought back. "Oh yeah." "I know you think this is stupid, but it's the only way I can feel safe letting you go. Okay?" "Okay Dad. I MEGA promise to be safe and not get in any trouble while we're there." Bob nodded. "Okay, so what am I holding onto to make sure you keep your promise?" Louise thought for a moment. She knew her father. When it came to mega promises, only something of great importance would satisfy him. As the young my girl thought, Bob looked over her shoulder and saw the large plushy Kuchi Kopi Reggie had won for her at Wonder Wharf. "What about that?" Bob asked, pointing at it. "B-big Kopi? But he protects all the other stuff! You can't move him! Plus he ties the room together." Louise argued. "Sounds pretty important to you." Bob pointed out. Louise cursed under her breath. "Fine. But you can't move him from his spot!" Louise pleaded. Bob sighed and nodded. "Alright, it can-". "HE." Bob sighed. "Alright, HE can stay in your room, but if you break the promise he's out." Louise nodded. "Good. Now go pack." Bob said, and Louise headed to her room. "Now how do I explain this to Linda..." Bob mused as he continued to drink his coffee.
"SAN DIEGO?!" Bob uncovered his ears after his wife finished screaming. "Yes." "Bobby, she's not even 10 yet! How can you let her make this trip with no supervision?" "Tina's going with her." Linda rolled her eyes. "Bob, she's a babysitter, and she already doesn't want to go. You forcing her to watch her sister and her friends have fun with her rich boyfriends money is only gonna make her more jealous." Bob dismissed the thought. "Tina's a mature girl, she won't get jealous over something as petty as Louise having a little fun." "A LITTLE?! Bobby, Louise is doing everything Tina has ever dreamed about, and she's doing it practically for free! Somethings gotta give." "Oh your acting ridiculous. Tina's gonna be fine, and so is Louise." Linda still seemed on edge. "It's gonna be okay Lin. Their big girls. I trust them." Linda sighed and hugged her husband. "Did she at least mega promise?" Bob nodded. "Okay. Then I guess if you trust them, I'll trust you." Bob hugged her back. "Good. And it'll be nice only having one kid around." Linda nodded. Suddenly, there was the sound of a car horn outside. "What the hell is that?" Bob asked. Then they heard their kids. "Mom, Dad, come down here!" Gene yelled from outside.
The Belcher parents walked downstairs to discover a sleek black Rolls Royce parked outside the restaurant. "Is that a Rolls Royce?" Bob asked. "Yeah, it's awesome!" Gene yelled, petting the car. "Where did this come from?" Linda asked. "I can answer that." A voice from inside the car said. "Whose that?" Bob asked. There was a sound of the window button pushing, followed by groaning. "Shit, that's right this Windows locked. Manny! Roll down the window!" The back window rolled down to reveal Reggie. "Sorry, we lock the back windows for some reason." "Reggie, whose car is this?" Bob asked. "In about an hour it's all yours." Bobs jaw dropped. "What?!" "Yes sir. This is a little thank you for letting Louise and Tina go to the concert." "Whose Manny?" Gene asked, trying to look through the window. "Manny." The drivers side window rolled down to reveal a Spanish man in a black suit. "This is Manny. He drives everyone in the family." The driver looked over and waved. "Hola." "Does he speak English?" Louise asked. "Not a lot. It's just easier to use Spanish. Manny, eat ones Louise y Tina . Su tomarlos y sus amigos al aeropuerto." Manny nodded and smiled. "San Diego? Good trip. You have fun there." "I thought you said he didn't speak English." Gene said. "I said he didn't speak a lot. He does better if you say what your asking in Spanish." Reggie explained. "Neither of us speak Spanish, there's a hole in your genius plan you big dumb stupid idiot." Tina yelled. Reggie raised an eyebrow. "You okay?" He asked. "UGH!" Tina groaned and stomped away. Manny looked at her. "I think she broke up with you." He said. Reggie laughed. "No Manny. That's her sister. THIS is my girl." He said as Louise waved. "Hi." Manny nodded and smiled. "He seems cool." Louise said. "Yeah Mannys the best." Reggie agreed. "Okay, well I guess we should be getting out of here." Louise said, clearly anxious to leave. Reggie shrugged, and Manny got out and ushered the young girl in. After a while, Linda got Tina into the car. "Okay bye my perfect little babies, have fun be safe I love you!" Linda yelled as the car rolled away. Louise popped her head out of the sunroof. "Hollywood!" She yelled. After a moment she went back into the car, where Tina continued to mope. "T, come on. What's the matter? We're living it up! Finally we don't have to take poor people vacations!" Louise said. "Louise, I don't wanna talk about it, so stop." Tina replied. Louise shrugged. The silence last 8 seconds. "Alright, I'm mad because your doing everything I want to do!" Tina yelled. Louise was confused. "What?" "You have everything now! You have a boyfriend and he's rich and famous and he loves you and spends all this money on you and I want that!" Tina complained. "T come on. Don't be like that. You'll find somebody." Louise encouraged. "Not somebody that I'll go as perfectly with as you and him." Tina whined. Louise started to say something, then stopped. That was a fair point. Of all the people in the world, she seemed to have stumbled onto the one for her. She began to say something again, but was cut off by Abby and Jessica hopping into the car. "Hey girl!" Abby yelled, and the girls hugged. "Louise whose car is this?" Jessica asked. "Ours now. Reggie gave it to us." Louise answered. Jessica whistled. Abby looked through the partition at Manny. "Does that hermano come with it?" Louise shook her head no. "What's your name." Abby asked, and Manny said nothing. "He speaks Spanish better, so he won't talk much." Louise explained. Abby nodded, then switched over to Spanish. "¿Cuál es su nombre de amigo?" Manny smiled. "Estoy manny . ¿Tu hablas español?" Abby nodded. "Mi padre es fluido . Entonces, ¿dónde vienen?" "Puerto Rico. El Sr. Martin me trajo aquí para conducir coches." Manny explained. "¿Te gusta América?" Abby asked. Manny nodded. "Me gusta tu país. Es mucho mejor que mi casa. Puedo hacer más dinero en una semana aquí, entonces lo que jamás podría volver a casa." Abby laughed, then looked back at her amazed friends. "What?" She asked. "Since when do you speak Spanish?" Louise asked. "I always have. My dad taught me." Abby explained. "That's perfect! We can talk to him through you." Abby nodded. "Alright I'll start, ask him if Reggie is a conceited bratty asshole when no one is around." Tina said. Abby raised an eyebrow, but dismissed it and translated. He girls shrieked as the car slammed to a stop. Manny looked back at Tina. "Ese chico es un héroe . usted no habla de él de esa manera!" The driver yelled. "What?" Tina asked. "He said Reggie's a hero, and not to say that." Abby translated. "What makes him a hero?" Louise asked. Abby asked, a little hesitant because of Mannys reaction to Tina's question. "Ese niño salvó su vida hermanas . Tomó una bala para ella . Un matón trató de matarla por su brazalete . La habría disparado si Reggie no había saltado en el camino. La única otra persona que lo he visto actuar de esa manera hacia usted es niña." Manny said, pointing at Louise. "What did he say?" Louise asked. Abby tried to hold back tears as she told the story. Louise looked at Tina, who was shocked. "See?" Louise asked. Tina nodded. Finally, the girls reached the airport. The girls hugged Manny goodbye and headed in. Louise lagged behind, finally deciding. She pulled out her phone and texted Reggie. "Is it true you saved your sister?" After a moment, he responded. "Did you ever see that little black necklace I have?" Louise thought for a moment. It sounded familiar. "Yeah, why?" A picture popped up in her phone of a beat up looking bullet on a thin black cord. "That's the slug they pulled out of me when I took the bullet. I wear it every day to remember how lucky I am. That answer your question?" Louise's response. "I've never loved you more."
