I'm back everyone! So sorry for the terribly long wait. But you know how school can be. I decided to FINALLY update my Cousin Alex Brady Story. I know I had to take down my other story, I'm sorry for that I just can't seem to write a Full House story too well. Maybe I'll try again someday. My first Cousin Alex story is almost finished. Anyway, here is part fifteen.

It was the day of Alex's party, she really didn't know what to think of it. All she did was play at the talent show, it's not like she saved a kid from a falling shelf or anything. But still, she thought it was really nice that they would throw her a party. She went down the stairs, to find her cousin Bobby sitting on the sofa.

"Good morning Bob!" Alex called.

He looked up, "Hey Alex!"

"Where is everybody?"

"Oh, well, Mom and Cindy went to get Dad from the hospital, Greg and Peter went to the store to get somethings Mom said we need for the party. And I'm not sure where Marcia and Jan are, probably getting ready for the party I assume."

"They really don't have to get dressed nice for me," Alex mumbled, "all I did was play at the talent show. It wasn't that special."

"Yeah, well I still don't even know."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, because of Dad's accident, Cindy and I still don't know how you did."

"Oh yeah."

"We're back!" a voice called from the front door. Bobby and Alex looked up to find Greg and Peter carrying grocery bags in each arm.

"We would have been home sooner, but Greg had to turn around because he forgot this dip," said Peter, "as if we really needed the dip."

"It was on Mom's list," Greg informed, "and if I didn't get everything on Mom's list she would have had my head."

"It's really...not that important," Alex said modestly.

"Of course it is kiddo," Greg said with a smile, "it's not just about your wonderful performance at the talent show that we're throwing this party for you, it's a celebration that you're now living with us. It's sort of like a welcoming party!"

"Yeah," Peter added with a quick nod, "a welcoming party that's long overdue."

Greg and Peter then went into the kitchen to unload the groceries. Marcia and Jan then quickly walked down the steps with dresses on.

"Hey everybody!" Marcia said cheerfully, "we just needed to freshen up before the party."

Alex looked over at Bobby, for his strange predictions on Marcia and Jan were right. Bobby shrugged, a bit surprised he was right himself.

"So when do the guests arrive?" Jan asked.

"Why are you so eager?" Alex asked suspiciously.

"No reason," Jan replied nonchalantly and swayed into the kitchen.

Alex watched Jan walk away with confusion and suspicion. Peter and Greg walked back from the kitchen.

"Look here Al, this is a perfect addition to show the guests." Greg said walking over to the sofa, holding a box. "I meant to show you this when you moved here because I found this when we were cleaning up the attic for you to live in. And I remembered after filming your performance at the talent show I had the old box of home movies from when you lived here."

Alex looked at Greg with a fake smile. "Oh," was all she could say.

Peter rummaged through the box and found one that said 'Peter's eighth birthday party'

"What's this?" Peter asked.

"It's your eighth birthday party ding-a-ling," Greg said, "can't you read?"

"Well I know that," Peter said rolling his eyes, "I mean, I don't remember it."

"You must be still blocking it from your memory." Greg snickered.

Peter looked at him with confusion.

"No," said Alex, "you don't remember it because that was the year I accidently hit you in the head with a baseball bat."

"And I've got it all on tape," Greg said with a good laugh.

"And I thought that trip to the hospital was a dream," Peter said holding his head.

Alex and Greg started laughing until they heard the door open.

Everyone looked up to see Cindy storming through the front door. "Dad's finally home!" she announced.

After her announcement Carol came in guiding Mike, who was just getting use to walking on crutches.

Greg, Peter, Bobby, and Alex jumped up off the sofa.

"Hey Dad!" Bobby greeted.

"Welcome home Dad," said Greg and Peter.

"How are you feeling?" asked Alex.

"Hey guys!" Mike said with a chuckle, "I'm doing better. It's not as bad as it seems, I got let out of the hospital earlier than I thought I would of."

"That's great to hear Uncle Mike!" Alex said cheerfully.

"I'm glad that I got to make it to your party. So when does it start?"

"Well, guests should be arriving-"

Alex was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

"Now. I guess."

Greg ran up to the door to answer it. He opened the door to reveal Rachel Palmer.

"Oh hey Rachel," Greg said.

"Hi Greg!" Rachel greeted cheerfully.

"Come on in, Peter is right in here."

Rachel walked in, Peter's eyes lit up when he saw his girlfriend. "Rachel!" he said walking over and giving her a hug.

"Hi Peter!" Rachel greeted, hugging her boyfriend. "So who's all coming?"

"Oh, just a few kids from school. Some of Alex's friends, you know." Peter replied.

About ten minutes later, more guests started arriving. There were only about ten people that came, but Alex was surprised that many people showed. And to Alex's horror, Greg started setting up the movie projector. Kids started gathering around to watch the home movies of when Alex was a kid. The party went from a party of celebrating Alex moving back into town to a gathering of embarrassing moments when Alex was a kid when she lived in town years ago. most of them weren't embarrassing, to Alex's relief. So she now knows it wasn't a family plot to invite all of her friends over and show them embarrassing films of when she was a young child.

There was a film of Greg filming Alex play on her keyboard when she was nine. And there was a christmas the whole family spent together that Mike filmed. There were a few of Alex's birthday parties, those were the majority of the embarrassing ones. And of course, Greg showed Peter's birthday party where he got hit in the head with the baseball bat. There was also one that Alex's father, Mark filmed where Greg was playing the guitar and Alex the piano. And a few where the three boys and Alex would just hang out. Some when they were really young, before Bobby was born or when he was just a baby. The party was very fun for everybody, even for Mike, who was in pain and crippled.

After the party, everyone in the family cleaned up the mess that the guests had left. Jan, Alex, and Cindy were cleaning up in the living room.

"So why were you so eager about the party today?" Alex asked Jan. "I mean, it was just a party, I wasn't even that excited about it."

"Well, it was just," Jan said with a pause, "It was just nothing."

"Well, it wouldn't take that long to tell somebody it was nothing if it was really nothing."

"It's true," Cindy said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"You guys sound so sure of yourselves don't you? You're so sure that there is something always wrong with me." Jan said with a bit of annoyance.

"No that's not it at all," Alex replied, "it's just the way you said it was all, sorry."

There was a moment of silence as they put trash into trash bags.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped like that," Jan said. "It's just, I invited this boy, this boy that I kind of liked. And he didn't come. It's nothing, really."

"Well, who was it?" Cindy asked eagerly.

Alex nudged Cindy in the shoulder. "That's none of your business," she said.

"It's okay, Alex," said Jan, "his name is Ryan Williams."

"That kid in our History class? The blonde one who's really stupid?"

"He's not stupid," Jan said defensively.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot he has MDD."

"MDD?"

"Yeah, mental dullness disorder!"

"Will you shut up Alex? He's not stupid. He just has a hard time learning."

"Yeah, a hard time learning. I think he would learn better if he kept his eyes open."

"Alex,"

"Jan, I'm just kidding around. If you really like him, go for him."

"You really think I should?"

"Yeah, Jan. Don't let anything tie you down. I'll even try to hook you guys up, if you want."

"Really?"

"Yeah, sure. After break, I'll go talk to him."
