"Look! Regardless, I want everyone in bed by 11:00 okay?" Mike demanded.
Axl, Sue, and Brick all said "Fine."
"The next morning, we all got up at 7, as we ate breakfast, brushed our teeth, washed up, got dressed, and packed our bags. We were about to hit the road jack!" Frankie narrated.
"How long are you going to be gone?" Cindy asked.
"Just for two weeks," Brick replied.
"I'll" miss you," She said.
"I'll" be thinking of you the entire time I'm there," He replied.
Both Cindy and Brick exchange a kiss, stare at each other for a few seconds while standing, and then said bye to each other as they walked away.
"Now before we leave, does anyone have to go to the bathroom?" Frankie asked.
"Nope," Mike said.
"No," Sue said.
"Not me," Brick said.
"I'm good," Axl said.
"Alright! Road trip to LA, here we come!" Frankie excited.
"We were on our way to LA," Frankie narrated. "And since it was going to be a long trip, we found ways to keep ourselves entertained from being bored like playing 99 bottles of beer on the wall and I spy."
Sue is the first one to start off the I spy game. "I spy with my little eye something blue."
"Let me guess, the sky?" Axl asked.
"Nope," Sue said.
"That upcoming mailbox that we're about to pass?" Brick asked.
"Nope," Sue said again.
"Oh! Your dad's blue shirt!" Guessed Frankie.
"Getting warmer" Sue said when filled with excitement.
"My blue jean pants?" Mike guessed.
"Yes!" Sue said.
"Hey I'm wearing blue jeans too you know," Frankie clarified.
"True, but it was either you or dad. Okay, who's next? Axl, how about you?" Sue asked.
"Okay, I spy with my little eye someone who is bored to death," Axl said.
"Its quite obvious its you," Brick replied.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Brick, you are the king!" Axl said. "How long until we get to LA?" He asked.
"Not very long Axl," Mike replied.
"Well I'm going to catch some sleep. Let me know when we get to La La Land," Axl puts on his sunglasses before he falls asleep.
"No Axl! You can't fall asleep," Sue disappointed. "We need to continue playing more games to pass the time!"
Axl snores as he is fast asleep.
"Don't worry Sue, we don't have long until we get to LA," Frankie letting her know.
"You know what, you're right. We don't need to play more games as long as I stay awake," Sue said. "I mean Brick still has his eyes glued to the book, so as long as he is still up, I will have no worries of fallen asleep."
"Sue would fall asleep in the next ten minutes, while Brick was still up reading that book of his," Frankie narrated.
The Hecks finally arrived in Los Angeles.
"We'll" we're hear! Axl! Sue! Wake up!" Mike is so excited. Axl and Sue are waking up.
Axl takes his sunglasses off. "Am I dreaming? Because I see palm trees," Axl said.
Mike is still excited."You're not dreaming, we're here in LA!"
The kids and Frankie cheer with excitement.
"Hollywood, you might want to look out because the Heck family are here, and we're going to get our vacation started on the right track," Frankie narrated.
"What do you mean there is not enough room for us to stay in this hotel?" Frankie asked with a concerned look on her face.
"I'm sorry, but this hotel is unfortunately booked," the male hotel receptionist said.
"Are you sure? I'm not saying I don't trust you, but it wouldn't hurt to double check again please," Frankie nicely suggested.
The hotel receptionist checks again and says, "Once again Mrs. Heck, the hotel is still booked."
The family returned to the car wondering what they will do next?
"I can't believe this hotel is booked, how is that even possible?" Frankie asked.
"This is not good, we're going to be stuck in the car. What if we get robbed? Robbed by burglars, LA gangs," Sue worrying.
"Don't forget the Mexican Mafia!" Brick freaking out.
Sue then screams. "THE MEXICAN MAFIA! "We'll" probably end up living in cardboard boxes!"
"Everyone calm down we're not going to end up homeless or living in cardboard boxes. We'll" just have to ride around the city to find any rental homes or apartments to stay in for two weeks," Mike explained.
The Heck family are riding around the city as Mike is looking for rental homes or apartments to stay in for two weeks.
"Still don't see any rental homes or apartments," Mike said.
"Hey why don't we stop here at this house to see if anyone can help us out?" Frankie suggested.
"I don't see why not," Mike replied.
Mike parks the car in front of someone's home. Everyone gets out of the car with their own luggage in their hands, as they are walking towards the front door. Frankie rings the door bell and when the door opens, its Phil Dunphy happily greeting the Hecks.
"Hello there! How can I help you?" Phil happily asked.
"Hi, we're the Heck family. I'm Frankie, this is my husband Mike, our oldest son Axl, our daughter Sue, and our youngest son Brick. We're from Orson, Indiana and we're spending our vacation here for two weeks, but we were wondering if there are any rental homes around here in this neck of the woods?" Frankie asked.
"Sorry, not that I know of. Did you guys try the hotel?" Phil wondering.
"We did, the hotel is booked so we have no where else to go," Frankie replied.
"Sorry guys, I don't know what else to tell you," Phil wishing he could help.
"Well, sorry to bother you and thank you," Frankie said.
The Heck family turned around as they walked their way back to the car. Phil is watching them walk until he stops them by yelling...
"Wait!" then they turned around and faced Phil after hearing him yell. "Get in here you little scamps," He said.
"You want us to stay in your home? Are you sure? We wouldn't want to be a burden," Frankie said as the Hecks are walking inside the Dunphys home.
" No! Nonsense! I can't have you guys ending up homeless in the city, its dangerous out there when it comes to the gangs,"
"Don't forget the burglars!" Brick freaking out once again.
"THE MEXICAN MAFIA!" Sue screaming once again.
"These two know their stuff, love how alert they are," Phil said then introduces himself. "I'm Phil Dunphy."
"Nice to meet you," Frankie said when exchanging an handshake with Phil.
"Phil, who is at the door?" Claire asked then introduces herself. "Hello! I'm Claire, Phil's wife."
Frankie and Claire both exchanged an handshake as well. "Hi! I'm Frankie. This is my husband Mike, our sons Axl, and Brick, and our daughter Sue."
"Well what a coincidence, we have three kids too. Two older daughters and our youngest son Luke," Phil said.
"Phil can I talk to you privately in the family room?" Claire asked.
"Sure, you guys stay right here and enjoy yourselves now, Phil said."
Phil and Claire quietly have a conversation in the family room.
"Phil, what were you thinking of allowing these strangers to stay in our home?" Claire asked.
"Honey, we couldn't have them ending up homeless and stranded all over the city, especially when comes to the gangs," Phil replied.
"Why couldn't they stay at a hotel?" She asked.
"The hotel is booked, but their only on a two week vacation," Phil explained.
"Two weeks? Are you kidding me!" Claire is quietly angry.
"Come on they seem harmless," Phil said.
Claire turns her direction to the Heck family. They all smile and wave, while Claire nervously smiles and waves back. Claire then turns her direction back to Phil.
"Fine, they can stay, but where are they going to sleep?" Claire asked.
"Well Frankie and Mike can sleep in either the family or living room. Sue can sleep in either Haley or Alex's room. I suggest Sue bunks with Alex since she seems very book smart like our Alex, and the boys can bunk with Luke." Phil explained and he had everything according to plan.
"Okay that will work," Claire is on board. Phil and Claire return to the Heck family.
"Okay! Let's get you guys settled in," Phil said.
"Frankie, Mike, you guys will spending the night in the living room here," Claire said.
"Sounds good," Frankie replied.
"Sue you will be bunking with one of my daughters, I suggest Alex since you seem very book smart like her. I think you too will get along great," Phil said.
"It will be like a slumber party!" Sue looking forward to bunking with Alex.
"So... since you and Mrs. Dunphy have a son, I guess that means me and Brick we'll" be sleeping with him?" Axl said.
"Yep," Phil said.
"And we're obviously going to be sleeping on the floor, right?" Axl asked.
"You don't have too, you boys can sleep in the same bed with Luke."
Axl then freaks out. "Ah EW! GROSS! NO! We'll" sleep on the floor."
The Heck family are watching television in the family room. Haley now returns to the house.
"Mom! Dad! I'm back! Um... who are these people?" Haley asked.
"Haley, this is the Heck family. They're from Orson, Indiana and will be spending their vacation here for two weeks," Claire explained.
"Let me get this straight, you allowed some strangers who aren't from here to spend their two week vacation in our home? What were your thinking?" Haley asked.
"Excuse me, but it was your father's idea," Claire replied.
"I'm not surprised I mean you're not this gullible to do something like this," Haley said.
"Everyone this is my oldest daughter Haley. Haley, this is Brick, Sue, Mr. & Mrs. Heck, and Axl."
"Sup," Axl said to Haley.
Haley immediately has fallen head over heels for him. She walks closely, then sits on the edge of the couch next to Axl. "Well, it is definitely nice to meet you Axl. Please enjoy your stay here, plus if there is anything you need, please let me know," she said lovingly.
"Sure thanks," Axl replied.
"Mom, who's car is parked in front of our house?" Alex asked when walking into the house, until she pauses for a few seconds looking at the Hecks, and then yells...
"MOM! STRANGER DANGER! STRANGER DANGER!"
"Alex relax, this is the Heck family. They're from Orson, Indiana and are spending their vacation here for two weeks. They can't stay at a hotel because its already booked."
"You allowed these strangers to stay in our home for two weeks?!" Alex asked.
"Don't worry, it was dad's idea," Haley replied.
"I figured since mom isn't this gullible," Alex said.
"Why is everyone getting on me? Just for that you two don't get an allowance," Phil said.
'You were going to give us an allowance?" Alex asked.
"Oh, please give us an allowance your humble majesty," Haley begged while spinning her hand, then having her hand out, as she bowed down to Phil on her left knee.
Luke walks in the house then notices the Hecks on the couch. "Mom, who are these homeless people? Have they been adopted?" Luke asked.
"Don't be silly Luke this is the Heck family and they're from Orson, Indiana. They will be staying with us for two weeks."
"What about staying in a hotel?" Luke asked.
"The hotel here is booked, meaning there was not enough room from them to stay there," Alex explained.
"I knew what you were talking about," Luke replied.
"Did you?" Alex questioning Luke.
Luke pauses for a few seconds; having a hard time giving Alex a straight answer, until he says, "No."
"Okay kids listen up," Claire said. "Alex, Sue is going to be bunking with you for two weeks."
"Is this really necessary?" Alex asked. "No offence, but I think Sue would be better off staying in Haley's room," She suggested.
"Oh, Alex that is so sweet, but you and Sue seem great together," Haley sarcastically says with a smile. "Besides, I was thinking Axl should spend some time with me in my room," She suggested.
