"Haley, no boys allowed in your room." Claire giving her a warning.
"This stinks!" Both Haley and Alex said, as they both stomped their left foot.
Later that night, everyone has fallen asleep except for Axl and Brick, since they are having a hard time sleeping due to Luke's loud snoring.
"Axl, are you still up?" Whispered Brick.
"Are you kidding me? I'm this close to ripping my own ears off and this pillow isn't helping, all because of Luke's loud snoring," Whispered Axl when frustrated.
"Well, this is a great way to start off our vacation off right, starting off wrong with having a hard time sleeping," Whispered Brick.
"That's it, I'm leaving," Whispered Axl.
"Where are you going?" Brick wondered.
"Downstairs to sleep in the family room where the TV is," Whispered Axl.
As Axl sleeps on the Dunphy's family room couch, Haley comes downstairs and goes into the living room, as she notices Axl asleep. She goes over there, sits on the edge of the couch, leans her head down, and kisses Axl on the forehead.
"Good night my sweet prince," She said lovingly.
Axl snores and then says, "That's nice pretty pretty lady."
Alex is downstairs and notices Haley in the family room. "What are you doing?" Alex asked.
Haley is startled. "Don't scare me like that and what are you doing?" Haley asked.
"I just came down to get some water until I witnessed you kissing the sweet prince on the forehead," Alex said. "And by the way, he has a girlfriend back home in Orson, Indiana.
"How do you know?" Haley asked.
"His sister Sue told me," Alex replied. "So if I were you, I would be careful."
"Oh please I'll" be fine," Haley having no worries.
The next morning, Phil and Claire made everyone blueberry pancakes, eggs, and sausages for breakfast.
Claire and Phil served Frankie and Mike's breakfast to them. "Here you are Frankie and Mike, breakfast is served," Claire said.
"This looks delicious Claire, you and Phil didn't have to do this," Frankie said.
"Are you kidding me? You're our guests and we didn't want you and your kids homeless on the streets, its our pleasure," Claire replied.
Frankie takes a bite of the two cut up blueberry pancakes. Once she does, her eyes get bigger, as she silently can't resist how much she loves the blueberry pancakes.
"Claire, these blueberry pancakes are delicious, you have got to give me the recipe."
"Thank you and I will definitely give you the recipe." Claire said.
"Since when do you cook?" Mike questioned Frankie.
"Since Claire's blueberry pancakes are to die for, these babies are the first thing I will be whipping up in our home," Frankie said.
"Phil these sausages are great!" Mike complimenting Phil on the food.
"Thanks, I always put my back into it when making sure these bad boys are good enough for everyone to enjoy," Phil explained.
"Morning Mrs. Dunphy," Axl said.
"Morning, ah!," Claire is startled when seeing Axl shirtless in his underwear.
"Are you shirtless in your underwear?" Claire asked.
"Yeah, I'm always like this at home whenever I'm not going anywhere," Axl replied.
"Um... well... "Claire hesitated. "Could you please a least put a shirt and some shorts on? I'm not comfortable with anyone walking around the house shirtless in their underwear."
"So, its okay for me to go shirtless in my underwear at home, but not on vacation?"
"Mother! Let the man enjoy his vacation shirtless in his underwear! After all, he is our guest," Haley said.
"Haley, I know you're boy crazy, but now is not the time," Claire replied.
"Axl just put on a shirt and some shorts. You maybe on vacation, but you're not at home," Frankie said.
"UGH!" Axl irritated.
"If it makes you feel any better, I will serve your breakfast to you once you get back," Haley smiling.
Axl smiles and says to her, "Thank you," as he leaves to go put on some clothes.
Haley can't breathe while having her mouth open, as she closes her eyes, and gently puts her hands on her chest, then smiles and opens her eyes. She is head over heels for Axl.
"Axl is hot. The hair, the green eyes, he just seems so awesome and laid back. Seeing him shirtless in his boxers was heavenly beautiful. I can't believe my mom wanted him to put some clothes on, and regardless of what she thinks, you can't let all that shirtless hotness go to waste," Haley said when being interviewed.
Modern Family theme song.
Axl is back downstairs in a T-shirt and baggy shorts. He then sits at the table as Haley is bringing his breakfast to him.
"Here you go Axl, breakfast is served," Haley said.
Looks good, thanks! You know you can serve me anytime."
"Aw, thanks Axl!," Haley blushes, while giving her hairdo a pat, and then walking away from the table.
"Is it me, or does your sister have a huge crush on my big brother?" Sue wondered.
"Yes, that explains her new hairdo, the sleeveless crop top, and skinny jeans," Alex pointing out the facts.
"Thanks again for breakfast," Frankie said.
"You're welcome," Claire replied. "Say, how about you and me have a girls day out?" She suggested.
"You and me spending the entire day together?" Frankie asked.
"Sure, plus it would be a great way for us to get to know each other more," Claire replied.
"That sounds great! Mike can stay with Phil so they can also get to know each other more as well," Frankie said.
"Is that okay with you Phil, honey?" Claire asked.
"Of course you girls have some fun, while me and Mike D here lay back like we're partners in crime, amigos, two peas in a pod am I right Mike? Up top!" Phil raised his hand as he is waiting for a high five from Mike.
"Trying to watch TV," Mike rejecting Phil while his eyes are glued to the television.
"Okay you guys have fun," Claire said.
As the women wave and say goodbye to their husbands, Phil is walking towards the couch and sits next to Mike, as he tries to get to know him better.
"So Mike, what is your occupation?" Phil asked.
"I'm the manager at a quarry," Mike replied.
"Interesting," Phil intrigued.
"What about you?" Mike asked.
"Don't mean to brag, but I'm a real estate agent," Phil replied.
"You help people buy or sell a home or a piece of property?" Mike asked.
" I sure do," Phil replied.
"No kidding, well its better than being manager at a quarry," Mike said.
"When I'm not on a missing as a real estate agent, I like to spend my time doing magic. You want to see me do a magic trick Mike?" Phil asked.
"Uh, Phil no offence but I'm trying to watch TV," Mike replied.
"Come on! Pick a card, any card, oh god!" Mike is irritated when Phil clumsily dropped the cards on him.
"So Axl, what do you plan on doing today?" Haley asked.
"Pretty much sleeping, laying around, and eating like a king all day," Axl replied.
"Or, we could go out as I show you around LA," Haley suggested.
"Sure, I guess," Axl replied.
"Haley, can I see you for a minute?" Alex asked then grabbing Haley's hand. The girls go back to Alex's room where Sue is also there.
"Haley, you and Axl are not going out together like, one a date?" Alex asked.
"Of course not, I'm just going to show Axl around the city," Haley replied.
"Listen Haley, my brother is in a committed relationship with his girlfriend Lexie back in Orson, who also by the way, is my college roommate and best friend. Do not cross the line or it will be the end of their boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, got it!" Sue warning Haley.
"Sue don't worry, I promise you everything will be fine. Now if you'll" excuse me, I got a hot guy waiting to show around the city, as we are going to have so much fun," Haley said.
"Hopefully not too much fun," Alex mumbled.
Downstairs, Phil's cell phone rings and its Jay calling.
"Talk to me," Phil said when answering his cell phone.
"Hey Phil, the sink drain pipe in my bathroom is leaking again and I need to you come over and fix it," Jay said.
"Again?" Phil shockingly asked.
"It looks like it," Jay replied.
"Alright, I will be right over."
"Hey Mike, I need to go over my father-in-law's house, why don't come with me? Phil suggested.
"I have a better idea, how about you go and I will still continue having my eyes glued to the TV," Mike suggested.
"Come on! I need a companion, besides you will love Jay," Phil said.
Mike then turns off the TV. "Alright, only for you to stop bugging me about it."
Axl and Haley have lunch at a restaurant. They enjoy each other's company while having cheeseburgers, fries, and some soda.
"Has anyone told you how awesome and gorgeous your hair is?" Haley asked.
"All the girls in high school and now in college," Axl replied.
"What about your girlfriend?" Haley wondered.
"No, but she knows its awesome," Axl replied.
"How long have you and Lexie been dating?"
"For a year now."
"She's so lucky to have you. I hope I'll" be with a guy who is awesome and is hot like you."
"Come on! Of course you will. What guy wouldn't want to be a smoking hot babe like you?"
Haley laughs, as she smiles and blushes due to the nice things Axl says to her.
Haley's ex-boyfriend Dylan runs into her, as he noticed her when walking towards the table where Haley and Axl are having lunch.
"Hey Haley!" Dylan greeted.
"Oh! Dylan hi!" Haley taken by surprise.
"Is this a friend of yours?" He asked.
"Uh, Dylan this is Axl. Axl, this is Dylan." Haley introducing the boys as they shake each other's hands.
"You from here?" Dylan asked Axl.
"No I'm from Orson, Indiana. Me and my family are spending our two week vacation here at Haley's house."
"Why not stay at a hotel?" Dylan asked.
"Because the hotel didn't have enough room for him and his family to stay there," Haley explained.
"Don't worry, you're going to love spending time at the Dunphy's since they're great," Dylan said.
"No worries at all," Axl replied.
"Well I got to go. Good seeing you Haley, nice meeting you dude," Dylan said.
"Bye Dylan!" Haley waving goodbye.
"Ex-boyfriend, huh?" Axl asked.
"Trust me, I have a lot of ex-boyfriends," Haley replied.
"I have a lot of ex-girlfriends. I was once married to my ex-girlfriend April, biggest mistake I ever made."
"Shut up!" Haley shocked while smiling.
"No you shut up!" Axl replied.
"I bet your parents weren't to happy about it huh?" Haley guessed.
"Well my mom was so pissed, she wanted to strangle the life out of me," Axl replied.
Axl and Haley then share a laugh, followed by Haley noticing her soda cup is empty.
"Hey, I noticed I'm all out of soda, you want a refill?" Haley asked.
"Sure thanks," Axl replied.
"Be right back," Haley said.
As Haley refills their drinks, Axl's phone rings and he sees its Lexie.
He picks up the phone and goes, "Hello."
"Hey Axl. Just checking up on you, how is LA?" Lexie wondering.
" The weather is great, the sky is blue, and the palm trees are lovely. I say this vacation so far is going swell, how is it going back in Orson? Axl asked.
"Its okay, have you been thinking of me?" Lexie wondering.
"Of course I have," Axl replied.
Haley returns to the table with more refilled sodas for her and Axl.
"I'm back with the refilled sodas Axl."
"Who is that?" Lexie asked with a concerned look on her face.
"Oh, its Haley," Axl replied.
"Is that your girlfriend?" Haley asked. "Tell her I said hi!"
"Who's Haley?" Lexie asked.
"She's someone I met and me and my family are spending our vacation at her place with her parents, sister, and brother," Axl explained.
"Why not stay at a hotel?" Lexie asked.
"There wasn't enough room for us to stay there," Axl replied.
"Are you cheating on me?" Lexie asked with an angry face.
"What," Axl said with a confused look on his face.
"Axl, please tell me you are not cheating on me, if you are I will lose it!" She angrily said.
"Lexie, me and Haley are just friends. There is nothing going on between us and I would never do anything to hurt you, can you trust me?" He asked.
Lexie pauses for a minute and then says, "Yeah, I can trust you."
"I love you," Axl said.
"I love you too and I'm sorry," Lexie replied.
"Its okay," He said. "So I will talk to you later?"
"Yeah, bye," Lexie said while smiling and then her and Axl hung up.
"I am so sorry," Haley apologizing.
"Its okay, will be fine," He replied.
Back at the Dunphy's, Luke is bored and wants to do something with Brick, but Brick is too busy reading his favorite book series, Planet Nowhere.
"Are you going to be spending the entire day reading that stupid book?" Luke asked.
"Reading is not stupid, its a great way to function one's brain," Brick stated.
"You know what else functions our brains? Playing video games," Luke said.
"Hey Luke, I need your..." Manny stopped and paused when entering Luke's room once he noticed Brick. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know you had a friend over," He said.
"He sure isn't acting like one right now," Luke replied.
"Hi!" Brick introducing himself. "I'm Brick Heck! I'm from Orson, Indiana and me and my family are spending our two week vacation here at this house."
"Nice to meet you," Manny also introducing himself. "I'm Manny."
"I'm guessing your a friend of Luke's?" Brick said.
"Actually, he's my step-nephew," Manny replied.
"So if I'm correct, your mom is married to his grandfather, who is your step-father. That also makes Haley and Alex your step-nieces, also Luke's dad your step-brother-in-law, and his mom your step-sister," Brick explaining in detail.
"Right," Manny replied.
"Interesting," Brick thought.
Manny then turns his direction towards Luke. "So Luke I need your help. There's this bully that keeps picking on me, so I was wondering if you could give some suggestions on what I can do for him to get off my back."
"When it comes to bullies, throwing water balloons is the way to go," Luke said.
"Water balloons? Really? Manny questioning Luke. Don't you think that is a bit immature?"
"Immature is my middle name and throwing water balloons is my game," Luke stated. "Well my middle name is actually Philip, but you get the motto."
"Its actually get the memo, not get the motto," Manny correcting him.
"Potato, tomato. We got to get revenge on a bully, you coming Brick?" Luke asked.
"Sure, I understand Manny's pain when it comes to being a lone victim of a bully."
"Are you reading Planet Nowhere? I love the book series, as I find it intriguing," Manny said.
"I know. I'm a sucker for sci-fi," Brick replied.
"I'm surrounded by nerds," Luke said.
Phil and Mike arrive at Gloria and Jay's, as they both come in through the front door. There is Jay, walking in the living room from the kitchen.
"Hey Phil! Who is this, a friend of yours?" Jay asked.
"He is now," Phil said proudly with a big smile on his face, while putting his arm around Mike's shoulder.
"No I'm not," Mike denied.
Phil then introduces Mike to Jay. "Mike, this is my father-in-law, Jay Pritchett. Jay, this is Mike Heck."
"Put it there," Jay said to Mike, as they are exchanging an handshake.
"Nice to meet you," Mike replied.
"So, how do you know Phil?" Jay wondered.
"I don't live here. I'm from Orson, Indiana and me, along with my family are spending our vacation at Phil and Claire's for two weeks," Mike explained.
"What's Orson like?" Jay asked.
"Besides it being nothing but the middle of nowhere, we have festivals, a riding lawnmower race, and local landmarks," Mike replied.
"Are you a fan of the Colts?" Jay asked.
"Of course I love football," Mike replied.
"Me too!" Jay thrilled. "I once met Terry Bradshaw when serving as a juror. I had a chance to sit with him during lunch and it was great, until I uh *sighs* committed a faux-pas by mocking his performance in a movie. Now I have a restriction order where I can't come near him anymore."
"Ouch, that's got to hurt," Mike replied.
"Oh it does, it stings from time to time, but that is the moment that I will always treasure, and I'm glad I got the opportunity to meet my football icon," Jay looking on the bright side.
"That's the spirit!" Mike supporting Jay.
"Say would you like some iced tea?" Jay asked.
"Sure," Mike delighted.
" I'll" have some iced tea too Jay," Phil said.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, once you fix the sink drain pipe," Jay replied.
"Oh, I thought you were going to get me some iced tea before I went up stairs," Phil assumed.
"Hey Phil come on! The drain pipe isn't going to fix itself," Jay replied.
Jay and Mike continued walking. Phil then awkwardly looks at the camera.
Manny, Luke, and Brick arrive at Manny's college campus, as they are prepared to throw water balloons at his bully.
