T.J and the gang ran after Gus. When they finally caught up to Gus they were just outside Kelso's corner store. "Gus, what's the matter?" asked Mikey.
"I don't want to move guys, I've been here to long" said Gus as he was trying to calm down.
"Everything will be ok Gus" said Gretchen.
"Yeah" exclaimed the rest of the gang.
That night was a long one for Gus. As he laid there he was thinking about how he would have to start over in a whole new place. The thought just enraged him. After several more minutes of thinking Gus finally fell asleep.
The next morning Gus awoke early…but then again, he always did. His dad of course was already awake. "Morning soldier" greeted Lt. Griswold.
"Hello…father" greeted Gus.
"So are you ready for the mov-. Just then the phone rang. "Hello"? Asked the lieutenant. Gus left the room but as he was leaving he heard the distant chattering.
"Oh…well that's too bad, well goodbye" said Lt. Griswold.
"What is it?" Asked Gus.
"Well, I have good news…and bad news" said the lieutenant. "The good news is we got the new house, but I didn't get the job" he said.
"How is that good news?" questioned Gus.
"We still have to move and I still have to leave my friends" said Gus and his voice was slightly rising.
"Why would you have to leave your friends?" questioned Lt. Griswold.
"Well once again I heard you and mom talking again" said Gus. "I heard about us having a big move and how I'll be happy" he said sourly. "Well guess what, I'm not happy!" he exclaimed. The lieutenant chuckled.
"Gus, Gus, Gus, What happened the last time you "so-called" overheard us?" He questioned.
"Um…" said Gus before he was interrupted.
"You tried to live under the jungle gym" said the lieutenant.
"I think I know that" replied Gus sourly.
"Why am I going to be happy moving to a new house?" asked Gus.
"Well I assumed you would be since it was right next to Theodore's house" said the lieutenant.
"Say what?" asked Gus
"But, But…I heard"
"But you overheard nothing" replied his dad.
"You must have gotten things a bit mixed up". You see I was going to get to be the director of this week's war games and I was so excited I babbled on and on to your mother and then eventually threw something in about the new house we bought". "I'm sorry if you were confused" he finally finished.
"Oh geez, this is great I have to go tell all my friends" said Gus.
