"So where's the bully?" Luke asked.
Manny points his finger at the bully. "He's right there."
"Gentlemen, let the games begin," Luke said.
"Wait, I don't I think this is a good idea," Manny having second thoughts.
"Manny we have to do this for all the victims of being bullied," Brick said.
"Brick is right, where is your dignity?" Luke asked.
"Okay, let's do it," Manny now on board.
Luke is preparing the countdown. "On the count of three... 1,2,3!"
The boys throw water balloons at the bully, who is all soaking wet. Manny, Luke, and Brick all high five each other, as the bully noticed them when looking up above.
"HEY! YOU THREE! YOU GUYS ARE DEAD!" Yelled the bully.
Luke yells "RUN!"
"I told you this wasn't a good idea!" Manny telling Luke.
"Run, Forrest, Run!" Yelled Brick.
Back at Gloria and Jay's, Jay and Mike continue to enjoy each other's company and drinking Iced tea.
"I was married twice," Jay telling Mike. "I was married to my first wife DeDe for 35 years until we got a divorce."
"35 years? Yikes! How many children do you have?" Mike asked.
"Three kids," Jay said.
"Me too," Mike replied.
"Yeah me and DeDe have two kids. Obviously, my daughter Claire and her brother Mitchell, while me and my second wife Gloria have one son together named Joe. Her first son Manny is from her previous marriage to her ex, Javier," Jay explained.
"Ola Jay!" Gloria coming downstairs as she greeted her husband.
"And there's the Mrs. Now," Jay said. "Gloria, this is Mike Heck. He's from Orson, Indiana and he and his family are spending their vacation here at Phil and Claire's."
"Why not stay at the hotel?" Gloria wondering.
"There wasn't enough room for them to stay there sweetie," Jay replied.
"Well its very nice to meet you Mr. Mike," Gloria greeted.
"Mike is fine," He replied.
"Okay Mike," Gloria said, as she then walks away going to the kitchen.
"That's your second wife?" Mike asked.
"Yep," Jay replied.
"First off, you are so lucky and two, how were you capable of marrying a beautiful, Colombian babe like her?"
"I know what's your thinking," Jay said. How did an old geezer like me pull it off? I've always been smooth with the ladies and even at my age, I still got it."
"You sure she didn't marry you for money?" Mike asked.
"Oh no trust me, she loves me more than anything including money," Jay replied.
Back at the Dunphy's, Alex is preparing for her next class in the fall, while Sue is worried Haley will do something to sabotage Axl and Lexie's relationship.
"Oh, I hope your sister doesn't ruin my brother and best friend's relationship. I hope my brother doesn't go behind my best friend's back doing something wrong either, I mean its driving me crazy to the point I'm starting to feel dizzy, also spinning in circles.
"Has your brother ever cheated on any of his ex-girlfriends? Did any of his past girlfriends cheat on him?" Alex asked.
"No, he would break up with them, especially if they both agree to see other people," Sue said.
"Well as long as your brother is not a pimp mack daddy, you have nothing to worry about," Alex replied.
"What are you doing?" Sue wondered.
"I'm preparing for my next biochemistry course this fall," Alex replied.
"But its summer. Instead of wasting your summer studying so early, how about having some fun like going to see Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and Selena Gomez in concert," Sue suggested.
"Sorry, but I don't care for either one of them nor do I care for concerts. Besides, its always best to study early than to wait at the last second," Alex said.
Brick, Manny, and Luke return to the Dunphy's tired and out of breath due to the bully still coming after them.
"Are you guys alright? Why are so tired and out of breath?" Alex asked.
"We were... running away...from a bully," Luke said while out of breath.
"Do you think we lost him?" Manny wondered.
Brick looks outside from the front door window and sees the bully running towards the front door.
"People, we have a problem I repeat, we have a problem," Brick panicking.
"I thought it was Houston, we have a problem? And you call yourself the smart one," Luke replied.
"Quick! You three go hide, I got this," Sue said.
The boys hide in the living room. Manny hides by the piano, Brick in front of the couch, and Luke is standing still on the left side of the living room wall. Sue then takes a deep breath, as she walks towards the front door and opens it.
"Hello! May I help you?" Sue asked so kindly.
"Yeah, I'm looking for three guys," The bully said. "One is taller than the other two, one is a weird looking midget, and the last one is a fat Colombian kid."
"Hey I'm not fat!" Manny whispered angrily. "I consider myself more on the husky side thank you!"
"Shhh," Brick shushed Manny.
Sue lies to the bully. "Nope, haven't seen them."
"You sure? I could have sworn they ran in this direction," The bully thought.
"Trust me, I've never seen nor know the guys you are looking for. Okay good luck! bye!" Sue then slams the door on the bully.
After leaving from Jay and Gloria's, Mike and Phil talk while walking back to the house.
"You were right Phil, Jay is great," Mike said.
"I told you. I'm sure you had more fun with him than with me," Phil replied.
"Are you kidding me? I had fun with you too. Look, I'm sorry I gave you a hard time earlier, but you are a fun, down to earth, good guy Phil," Mike said.
"Thanks Mike, that means a lot," Phil appreciating Mike's kind words about himself, as Mike gives Phil two pats on the shoulder.
Claire and Frankie return to the house after shopping. Claire goes up to her and Phil's bedroom, while Frankie pours herself a glass of lemonade. Mitchell all of sudden comes in the house.
"Hey Claire!" Mitchell then stops and pauses when he sees Frankie.
"Oh, I'm sorry is Claire here?" He asked.
"Sure she's upstairs, I'm sure she'll" be back down very soon," Frankie replied.
Mitchell then introduces himself. "Hi! I'm Mitchell, Claire's brother.
"Oh, nice to meet you," Frankie introduces herself, as she and Mitchell both shake each other's hands. "I'm Frankie Heck."
"Are you a friend of my sister?" Mitchell asked.
"I am now since we had a girls day out," Frankie said then has a good laugh about it. "I'm not from LA, I'm actually from Orson, Indiana. You see my family and I are spending our vacation in this house since the hotel here was booked. I have to say, it was so nice of your sister and brother-in-law to allow us to stay here for two weeks."
Claire comes back downstairs going into the kitchen. "Hey Mitch, I see you met Frankie."
"Yes, and I was wondering if you have some sugar?" I want to make some lemonade, but me and Cam are fresh out," He explained.
"Sure," Claire looks for some sugar in the cabinet.
As Axl and Haley are walking into the kitchen, Frankie introduces Axl to Mitchell.
"Mitchell, this is my son Axl. Axl this is Mr. Pritchett, Mrs. Dunphy's brother," Frankie said.
"You know you remind me of someone," Axl can't put his finger on it.
"Oh, really?" Mitchell intrigued.
"Yeah like some famous, influential figure in history. He had red hair, red beard, known for cutting off his ear," Axl thinking.
"Leonardo da Vinci!" Haley guessed.
"No, you're thinking of the guy who painted the Mona Lisa," Axl replied.
"Are you talking about Vincent van Gogh, the painter?" Claire asked, while she gives the sugar to Mitchell.
"Yes! Vincent van Gogh, thank you!" Axl replied.
"Really? Oh stop," Mitchell blushing. I guess I do look like him I mean I am a big fan of his paintings.
"Axl is right, you do look like him," Frankie said.
"Yeah I can see it, you are definitely van Gogh's Doppelganger," Claire said.
"Well thank you, I am feeling good right now," Mitchell replied. "Anyways, thanks for the sugar Claire and nice meeting you Frankie and Axl," Mitchell said as he is leaving.
"Nice meeting you Mitchell!" Frankie said.
For the next two weeks, the Hecks and the Dunphys enjoyed each other's company. Two weeks later, the Heck family say their goodbyes to the Dunphys.
"I am going to miss you so much Frankie," Claire said.
"Me too," Frankie replied. "You promise you'll" call and text me as much as you can?"
" Of course and you and the family can come visit us again anytime, even if the hotel here is booked or not," Claire said.
"We will," Frankie replied then her and Claire get emotional and hug each other.
"You know I had a great time with you and Jay," Mike telling Phil.
"That's good to know, Would it be okay if I keep in touch with you on the phone?" Phil wondered.
"Sure... just not everyday, especially when I'm working. You can at least call every once in a while," Mike said.
"Wonderful!" Phil said with excitement. "Can I text you as well?" He asked.
"I don't care for that, so no," Mike replied.
"I had a great time with you these past two weeks Axl," Haley said lovingly.
"I had a blast hanging with you too," He replied.
"Will it be okay if I call and text you as friends? If not, I'll" totally send you some love letters if I have too!" Haley said passionately.
"Whoa! Whoa! Haley relax," Axl calming her down. "We can totally keep in touch, always."
"That's great," She said with a big smile on her face.
"I wish you good luck in your upcoming biochemistry course in the fall Alex," Sue said.
"Thanks! I had a good time with you Sue, you're the most sweet, kind, bubbly person I ever met," Alex said.
"Oh, you know I can't leave without a hug." Sue gives Alex a tight squeeze of a big hug. Alex smiles and hugs Sue as well.
"Me and Manny had fun hanging out with you Brick," Luke said.
"Me too. At least I live in Orson and won't have worry about the bully coming after me, but I'm worried you guys will run into him and he'll" come after you two."
"Don't worry, the water balloons will be our backup," Manny said.
The Heck family carried and put their luggage in the trunk and then got into the car. They waved goodbye to the Dunphy family and Manny, and the Dunphys and Manny waved goodbye back.
"I miss them already," Claire said as she and the rest look on.
"I miss them already," Frankie said as she gets a little teary eyed.
Frankie wipes the tear from her left eye, as Sue puts her hand on Frankie's left shoulder. Sue then gives her a nice rub to comfort her mother, then Frankie turns her head to her daughter, as they both smile at each other.
Manny returns home. He is walking towards the kitchen as he sees Gloria.
"Ola Papi! What have you been up to today?" Gloria asked.
"I just said goodbye to the Heck family. Look, I took a selfie with Luke and Brick," Manny said.
Gloria takes the phone from Manny to take a look at the selfie. She takes a look at Brick saying, "Oh my god! The Brick kid is so funny looking," She said with a disturbed look on her face.
"Mom, that's not nice," Manny not liking what she said.
"What? I didn't say he was ugly, I meant it as in, 'he's very odd looking in the face,' Gloria explained.
"You are so wrong for that," Manny said.
"I know Papi, I need help," Gloria replied.
The End
