A/N: Chapter 2 featuring your favorite bitter enemies from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York :D i hope this chapter is well and written good enough for you all. Read & Review!

Meanwhile in New York, a familiar hotel concierge was getting his just desserts. "I'm FIRED!?"

The actual manager of the hotel nodded. "Yes, you and your receptionist have had too many complaints made against you." he crossed his arms.

The receptionist looked affronted.

Also in the City of New York a man with a hat with ear flaps walked through the streets, a scarf around his mouth to hide most of his face. He jumped at every little pigeon that flew as people made them fly away.

"You can't be serious, I run a tight shift with people around here, and I love children!" Hector tried to consider, he then randomly grabbed a little girl, trying to hug her, but made her cry. "Oh, see? I just love children!" he smiled, nervously.

"MOMMY! DADDY!" the little girl cried in his grasp.

"And I do a perfect job!" the woman announced, looking annoyed.

The hotel manager glared at the two. "I've checked the CCTV, I saw what happened and your reactions."

The mother of the girl came over and took her daughter. "How dare you pick up like that and make her cry!" she handed the girl to her husband before smacking Hector around the face.

Hector winced at the impacts. "I-I-I'm sorry!"

"YOU'RE GONNA BE SORRY!" the husband punched him in the stomach and stormed off with his wife.

Hector held his stomach. "CCTV?"

"Yes, you know, the security cameras?" The manager nodded and said as if talking to a simpleton.

The receptionist looked floundered for a moment. "W-Why aren't you firing Cedric?!" she asked loudly.

The manager looked slightly pleased she asked. "Because Cedric actually works well with everyone and he actually does his job properly!"

Cedric was going past with some bags. He didn't pay attention, as he was busy.

Hector grunted and rolled his eyes. "Kiss up..." he mumbled about the nicest employee in the entire hotel while he and Mrs. Stone were snobs, especially toward children.

The hotel manager looked at the two. "Just for that, Hector, you're going to have to wait for your last pay checks in the post." he told them. He then got security to escort them out.

Mrs. Stone glared at Hector as they were escorted out, but it was half-hearted to the embarrassment they were gaining from being escorted out.

"You're insane, you know that?" Hector was completely flabbergasted and felt insulted as he was being pushed out. "The nerve of some people!"

The hotel manager watched them go. The guards pushed the pair out into the street. Harry came close to the hotel, not realizing that people were going to be pushed out any second as he went to the area in front of the door. Mrs. Stone was pushed first, yelling shocked as she fell. Harry groaned as she fell on him, the surprise from the sudden unexpected woman landing on him.

Mrs. Stone got up, flustered at landing on a man.

Hector grumbled, then stood up, glaring at Harry. "Watch where you're going, ya bum!"

Harry got up, his scarf falling down. "You're the ones who bumped inta me!" he yelled, angry. "You should watch where ya both were goin'!"

Hector scoffed and rolled his eyes. "I tried to be nice to those wretched children when they came into the hotel, but seeing them alone sent me suspicious, bunch of credit card thieves... I bet that Maxine was in on it too." he folded his arms, thinking back on a while back before Christmas.

"What children?" Harry then asked, going serious and calmer.

Mrs. Stone straightened her uniform. "The McCallister children..." she said, before frowning at the memory of the brats.

"Miserable little bloke and his rather beautiful, yet irritating sister..." Hector rolled his eyes at memories as well. "'My Dad's on business', 'My Dad just left', pfft! Children these days... And his mother had the nerve to slap me..."

Harry narrowed his eyes. "I hate those little brats! They foiled my plans twice and turned my old partner against me!" he said, angrily. He looked at them. "The girl, I hate especially!" he growled, she had turned Marv against him and helped her brother set the traps.

Mrs. Stone looked at him.

"Oh, what could they have possibly done to you?" Hector sounded unimpressed.

Harry went to a more sheltered from view side with them. He then showed the injuries, the one on the top of the head, the hands and how all his teeth at the top were the gold ones now being the ones he could show respectfully. "They did this to me, and got me arrested twice!"

Mrs. Stone gained a sly look. "I have an idea..." she said quietly, so no one except the three of them would hear.

"Uh-oh, a woman has an idea, alert the authorities." Hector joked, laughing a little.

Harry snorted a little bit of a laugh too. He however was willing to find out what she had in mind.

"Very funny," Mrs. Stone said, but smirked a little. "I was thinking we go to their house near Christmas time and then we give them a little taste of their own medicine, make them all regret what they did to us."

Hector had a wicked grin, but then frowned. "How will we know where they live?"

Harry looked at them, his injuries covered back up.

"You forgot your old stuff!" one of the other employees called, throwing out a box of their old things from when they were employed in the hotel.

Hector turned to the box tossed out and wondered if it had any of the credit card information from when Kevin and Chelsea used it in place of their father.

Mrs. Stone noticed some of the paper cards.

Hector thanked her then looked through the papers. "How do we know they haven't moved? Are they a rich family?" he asked Harry, seeing how familiar he was with the McCallister family.

"They're pretty well off, the nicest house that was on the block..." Harry tells them.

Mrs. Stone looked between the two males.

"Really?" Hector grew intrigued.

Harry nodded. "Yeah, and if they hadn't have had help too and called the police, then we could-a hit the bingo."

Mrs. Stone looked at Hector, wondering what was going through his mind. She was thinking what she'd get the children to fall back by something colliding with them.

Hector thought and tried to organize a plan.

Harry looked at him as well as Mrs. Stone did. "What ya thinkin' of, pal?"

"Revenge." Hector smirked.

Harry smirked. "What ya got in mind?"

"I want them to be knocked down like they made us fall." Mrs. Stone said, adding the last bit more to Hector.

Hector shuddered at that memory. "Making us run around and knock each other down... How humiliating..."

Harry looked like he wasn't impressed. "I've been hit and knocked down by many things those brats did."

Mrs. Stone looked at them. "Well, we can give them a taste of their own medicine, but maybe a little worse?" she suggested. "So they would regret it? And remember the little wench also slapped you..." her voice sounded sorry for her superior.

"The daughter punched me." Hector remarked.

Mrs. Stone patted his shoulder.

"Well, shall we head to Chicago?" Harry grinned, showing off his gold teeth.

"Let's find a way." Hector nodded in agreement.

Harry nodded and looked at them. "You got the tickets? We'll rob 'em too so you can get the money back for buyin' 'em?" he suggested.

"Little bugger spent $800 on room service." Hector snorted.

Harry snorted too. "He knew they could afford it, the little brat..."

Mrs. Stone walked between the men.

"I still bet you Maxine was in on it with them, that's why I fired her." Hector smirked, even if he promised her a Christmas check.

"Who's this Maxine anyways?" Harry asked them with a smirk.

Mrs. Stone scoffed. "She used to work for Hector, but she helped the brats escape."

"I could always control her unless it came to capturing those brats." Hector added.

Harry nodded. He then started to think on what could happen.

Mrs. Stone was going to get them to the airport right away. She couldn't bear the length of time to get to Chicago.

"What'd they do to you?" Hector couldn't help but ask Harry, and saw the several bruises he had earned from the traps Kevin would set up.

Harry looked at Hector, telling him everything that had happened as they walked. He then grinned as he remembered one bit of payback he had had on Chelsea. "I shot the girl by the way..." he told them, quietly.

Mrs. Stone looked surprised, but not in a bad way. She blinked a little.

Hector tried to hold back some laughs of what Harry had been through because of Kevin and Chelsea. He stopped once he mentioned that he had shot the girl. "I thought she limped a bit when they came back to spend Christmas at the hotel..."

"I was gonna kill them both," Harry nodded. "But, it ended up, I couldn't, but at least I gave 'em a reminder of what I could do."

"I don't know who's more evil," Hector grinned kind of eerily. "I wanted to turn them into the police and you wanted to kill them."

Harry gave a short laugh, though it was humorless to the man. "If they had a good reason, then the police wouldn't have done anythin'."

Mrs. Stone kept quiet while Hector and Harry were talking.

Hector hummed and kept walking until they would get to Chicago very soon. Harry was surprised that they actually got through to board the plane, though he didn't show it. Mrs. Stone managed to convince the people to let them through, as they got the tickets.

"Goodbye, fabulous New York City, hello, not as pleasurable Chicago." Hector grunted under his breath.

"Just think of the revenge we'll have on those brats." Harry told Hector quietly, grinning at him.

"Yes..." Hector nodded, then got something sticky on him. He grunted in disgust and looked down to see a familiar little girl put her lollipop on him. "Little brat!"

The little girl started to whimper, then she cried that she was insulted with tears streaming down her face.

Harry looked at the girl, his eyes narrowing. "Scram kid..." he growled.

Mrs. Stone looked around for the parents. At that moment, the mother was looking around for the girl.

"MOMMY!" the little girl ran to her mother.

Hector looked back and felt like he was getting a taste of karma from earlier. "You got to be kidding me..."

Harry looked at the woman who recognizing Hector came storming over.

"Which of you upset my daughter?" the woman asked, angrily. Seeing Hector, she once again slapped him, and also slapped Harry. She glared at Mrs. Stone.

Mrs. Stone glared back.

Hector grimaced at the impact.

Harry growled and glared at the woman.

The woman took her daughter away from them. "If I run into you all again by upsetting my daughter, you'll all be in trouble."

"Keep that child on a leash, will ya!?" Hector scowled, hoping he'd never see them again today.

Harry nodded his agreement.

"You!" the woman growled, softly as to not upset her daughter, whirling around to glare at the trio. "How dare you!"

The little girl whimpered and buried her face in her mother's shirt.

"Let's see that kid when she steals your husband's credit card." Hector growled, wanting to get this flight over with and plot his revenge.

Harry hid his smirk as Mrs. Stone bit her lip to hide her amusement at Hector's retort.

The woman glowered at Hector and slapped him one last time before they went away.

Hector felt in shock from the slap, remembering the children's' mother doing that to him.

"He's a bad man, Mommy." the little girl told her mother.

"Yes, he is, sweetheart..." the woman told her daughter.

The girl stuck her tongue out at them and smiled sweetly at her mother.

The woman smiled back at her daughter.

Harry looked at Hector. "Is that what happened before?"

Mrs. Stone nodded and patted her ex-co-worker's shoulder.

Hector mumbled to himself as they got settled and made their way to Chicago. The sooner the better.

Harry stuck his tongue back out at the little girl.

Mrs. Stone raised an eyebrow.

"Children..." Hector growled, then they sat to wait to be able to board the flight.

Meanwhile back at the McCallister household Chelsea was sitting smiling as the other's were finishing or almost finished. She had only had three slices all together. Lex was still holding Max's hand. Kate had finished and was dabbing her mouth with a napkin. Kevin filled up after just one plate and was nearly drifting off.

"Max, can I try something with you real quick?" Marv stood up. "We'll be right back, Chelsea."

"Umm... Sure." Max shrugged and got out of her seat. "Excuse us."

Chelsea looked at Marv, smiling, but also kind of confused. "Okay..." she said, softly.

Seeing Kevin about falling asleep, Kate decided to get the boy to bed. She wasn't stressed anymore tonight and so was able to be nicer to Kevin than usual, though she tried her best to be nice to him anyway. Kevin fell fast asleep in his bed that night. Kate smiled and kissed Kevin's forehead and then went downstairs.

Marv was showing Max how he would propose to Chelsea, which would be fitting for the presentation. He even demonstrated and slipped the ring on her finger to show by example.

"That's lovely, I'm sure she'll like that!" Max beamed, then tried to get the ring off. She struggled a bit. "Uh-oh..."

Marv looked nervous and looked around for Kate or Peter. "We got a problem with the ring..."

Lex glanced at the door into the hall.

Kate came right down after sending Kevin to bed and looked shocked to see the ring on Max's finger and looked at Marv.

"It's not what it looks like," Marv tried to assure her. "We were practicin'... I never done this before."

"That's good to know." Max moaned with the ring stuck on her finger.

"I thought I did!" Marv shrugged.

Max washed her hands together, then the ring slipped off. "That was close." she smiled gently. "Let's get back in there and next time put the ring on HER."

Kate made sure the ring was clean and then led into the dining room.

Max blew on it a little and handed it to Marv. "Next time, put it on her finger." she smiled apologetically.

Marv chuckled a little, keeping the ring secure. "Should I wait until Kevin's up and about? I'd hate for him to miss it." he whispered to the woman of the household.

Kate looked at him. "Kevin isn't very well... So maybe we can tell him tomorrow or record it for him, or Chelsea could show him tomorrow." she whispered with a shrug.

Chelsea hummed a soft tune. Her soft humming and snippets of singing came from in the kitchen.

Peter was on the phone with his boss from work. He then came to his wife. "I have an important meeting tomorrow while Kevin's in school."

Kate sighed. "That's okay, Peter, I'm sure we'll be fine..." she then gave a small smile to Marv.

"Does he have a flu?" Peter glanced back at the stairs, noticing his youngest child had gone to bed early.

"Cold, possibly." Kate mouthed, looking at her daughter and possible future son-in-law.

Peter looked at her, then smirked, turning to see Chelsea and Marv.

Lex looked at his girlfriend. "What did Marv want?"

Max sat right next to him and hummed the wedding march to him, then kept quiet.

"Probably, should I do it now?" Marv asked, smiling and saw the anxious look on Chelsea's face. "You're going to like this."

Chelsea's worry turned into confusion but she smiled.

Max urged Marv to go on.

Marv nodded and got close to Chelsea. "I know we've only known each other with those funny pranks and getting arrested but I really learned my lesson from last time... and I'd like to spend the rest of my life with you and I hope you can make my wish come true, Chelsea Kimberly McCallister," Marv got on his knee and took out the ring. "Will you be mine?"

Lex grinned, waiting to hear the reply. It would be nice if they got a happy ending too.

Chelsea's face paled and her eyes widened. She was silent for a moment, but then covered her mouth with her right hand. "Yes, yes, I'll be yours!" she exclaimed in a gasp, smiling behind her hand. She held out her left hand as she knew that the ring would go on that ring finger.

Max's face lit up once she saw her best friend getting married now after all they had been through together.

Marv smiled, nearly crying and slipped the ring on her finger. "We'll make it official soon then."

Kate smiled widely and happily. "Congratulations!"

Lex grinned wider.

Chelsea, after bouncing excitedly, threw her arms around Marv's neck hugging him. Tears fell down her face but she had the widest smile ever on her face showing they were happy tears.

Peter was deeply moved. "Well, I guess my little girl is all grown up."

Kate then sniffled, the emotions running high. She hadn't thought of like that, though she was still happy for them. Peter gently hugged Kate as they watched the happy scene. She smiled, but cried too.

Max smiled back at Lex filled with swooning, then looked back at Chelsea and Marv, very happy for them. She was then wrapped around by Lex's arm as she smiled brightly at him.

Marv laughed, very happy.

For a moment, Chelsea decided to be braver, ignoring her family and friends a moment a moment too. "I'm not a-scared of kisses." she whispered, then kissed her fiance.

Marv chuckled with their inside joke, then allowed her to kiss him as he was really happy now.

Chelsea kissed him passionately but in a way that wouldn't get her in trouble for doing it in front of her parents.

Marv smiled at her, feeling refreshed. "You're not ascared of the dark, are ya?"

Chelsea giggled softly, resting her forehead on his. "No..."

"We'll go out sometime at the park..." Marv lightly chuckled.

Chelsea giggled, at the once again inside joke. She sighed happily and gave him one more, more chaste kiss.

Marv chuckled and nuzzled his nose into hers.

"I love you, Marv." Chelsea said softly, before pulling away slightly, but putting her arms around his waist and turned her head to look at her parents.

Kate looked at the clock and then, after wiping her eyes, smiled once more. "How about we all have a small glass of wine before we settle in the for the night?"

Max took her pizza crust and nibbled on it a little while smiling at Lex, feeling fortunate she had found and met him. They shared their own loving emotions toward each other, her thanking for the job and him thanking her for being able to work with her and hang out.

"I like that idea, Mom." Chelsea said.

"Sounds good, Mrs. McCallister." Lex focused on Kate and Peter.

"That's lovely, Kate." Peter smiled at his wife.

"I don't believe I've had wine before." Max raised an eyebrow with curiosity. "Is wine good?" she wondered.

"It's perfect for a celebration like this." Marv assured her with a friendly smile.

"Yes, Max, it's nice." Chelsea told her best friend as her mother came back with a bottle of a nice red one.

Lex looked at Max. "You can have a sip of mine, before you have a glass full to see if you like it."

"Okay, I was always one to try something new," Max smiled. "When i was a kid, I always ate asparagus, though everyone else was afraid to eat it."

Kate poured everyone a glass, except she waited for Max to try it first before she would pour the girl a glass. Chelsea held her glass and waited for Max to try it before she would drink. Lex gave his glass over to Max for her to take a sip from.

Max took her sample and popped her lips. "Not bad... Maybe a little more?"

"I think she likes it." Marv shrugged his shoulders.

Kate poured another glass and then passed it to the respective person. She then took her own and raised it, to make a toast. Chelsea looked at her mother. She blushed again. Lex followed her lead. Max did the same, as did Marv. Peter decided to get a glass as well and smile for the future of his family.

Kate smiled at Chelsea and Marv. "To the future happy couple, may they have health and prosperity."

Chelsea held her glass up and blushed while smiling up at Marv.

"To the happy couple," Lex repeated, grinning.

"Cheers!" Max chimed, holding up her glass.

Marv smiled, sniffling a bit with his glass.

Peter was nearly crying when he saw Chelsea again, envisioning her as when she was little before the other were born. She was now indeed all grown up. Chelsea smiled and took a sip of her drink. Her eyes were sparkling with happy tears again. Kate handed Peter her handkerchief and then took a drink. Peter took the hanky and dried his eyes. Marv seemed surprised by Peter crying, but kept his distance since this was a very happy occasion. Max drank a little more wine and ended up getting giggly.

"Right," Kate smiled, softly. "Let's go into the lounge." she led the way.

Chelsea, who wanted a second alone with Marv, told her friends and dad to go on ahead. Marv got her message and stayed with Chelsea, feeling very special.

Lex put an arm around Max, smiling as she giggled, and then led Max into the lounge. He sent a wink to Chelsea, and a cheeky look to Marv. Max hushed everyone, putting a finger to her mouth and left to go to the lounge with the others.

"Right then." Peter nodded and showed the others to it.

In the lounge, Kate was sitting with Peter while Lex and Max were together. They were just making conversation and then it was getting very late.

"Where are we gonna stay?" Max asked, nearly yawning.

Kate looked at Max and Lex. "You can stay the night if you want to." she told them.

"Oh, I wouldn't want us to impose." Max cupped her mouth a little.

"We insist." Peter added with a gentle smile.

Lex looked at Kate, surprised.

"Well, okay." Max smiled at her friend's parents.

Chelsea moved her hands to rest on both Marv's cheeks. She smiled and then went up on tiptoe and gave him the most passionate kiss she could. Marv gently held her in his clutches and enjoyed the celebration and kisses from the love of his life. He just hoped Kevin would accept him despite nearly trying to kill him when he'd be alone with Chelsea. She showed all the love she had for him and all of her happiness in the kiss.

"We're very lucky." Marv whispered, then kissed her tenderly.

Chelsea closed her eyes in the kiss. She loved Marv so much. "Yes, I'm so glad we met..." she whispered against his lips. She pulled back a minute and looked up at Marv smiling.

"I'm so sorry for what I was doing with you and your brother those two Christmases." Marv felt a little guilty.

Chelsea put a finger gently to his lips. "Shh, I forgive you, and Kevin seems to have done too." she told him, softly, but firmly.

Marv smiled a little happily and hugged her again. That had been eating him up of being a criminal ever since he first laid eyes on Chelsea when she was 18. He mostly wanted to be a bandit because Harry was doing it, but now he felt safe with her and the family and didn't have to worry about getting arrested again.

The next morning, Harry, Hector, and Mrs. Stone landed in Chicago.

Harry stumbled off the plane first, muttering. "Ugh, I hate heights..."
