Aloha sailor. I really appreciate the reviews so far, but as always, if you happen to read this chapter please review. I always love hearing from you guys! I got some good music on, and I'm ready to write. I know you probably don't wanna hear about how I'm doing, but I'm better. Still a little sick, but I wanted to write a chapter before I go to the movies to see Tropic Thunder. Maybe I can get some cool moves from the movie ;) haha. I've been watching a lot of movies lately (5 yesterday) and today I'm going to watch the mummy again when I get home, which will help me write this story actually...anyways, my hands smell like sausage.

And without further rambling...

Mutt's mouth hung open as he peeked his head out of the window. He knew he was going to like this vacation, after all. He knew it the moment the limo came to halt, some 40 minutes away from the airport, at a building. The building was huge! And before he could ask anything about it, the door was being pulled open by the driver for him. He smiled to himself, and exited the limo, staring up at the building in disbelief. Seriously, this was it?

This was the ranch his parents were talking about? This didn't look like your average ranch, not in the least. Marion and Indy had made their way out of the car lost in the same thoughts that Mutt was in. How could this be the ranch they were talking about?

Mutt had expected it to be some old, run down, smelly dirty farm in the middle of nowhere. Well, it was in the middle of nowhere, but it wasn't rundown in the least. It looked like a manor, a mansion, whatever word you could use to describe something this big and beautiful.

As the driver said his goodbye's, another man who stood waiting by the door approached them. He smiled, and took their bags. "Ah, Dr. Jones." he spoke in a British accent. This was England anyways. "We've been expecting you. How was your flight?"

Indy smiled slightly. "It was..fine, thank you."

Mutt smiled to himself. Fine? Ha, the old man was clearly lying! Mission accomplished.

"Glad to hear that." The man said, as he ushered the way to the door with their luggage. "And you must be Marion..."

Marion nodded, smiling. If the man's hands weren't full, she'd shake them. "Yes, pleasure to meet you."

"Pleasure's all mine." The man said, as he opened the front door for them. "And, this is your son, yes?" He looked at Mutt smiling. Mutt, smiled back.

"Yes, this is Henry." Marion explained, putting her hands on his shoulder in a motherly grasp. Can this place get any better? Mutt asked himself.

"Well, I find that Henry..and all of you will have a great stay here."

"Great, thank you. " Marion said as they walked inside. Mutt's wonders were answered as soon as they stepped foot inside the place. It was amazing. Completely decked out with marble floors, and chandeliers. It appeared like a really really fancy hotel lobby. Except it wasn't, it was this man's home. Mutt somehow found himself impatient. He couldn't wait to meet this guy now.

"Bates will take your luggage up to your rooms." A voice spoke out of nowhere.

Indy recognized this voice immediately, as a figure began downstairs. As the figure decended down the steps, it became clearer and clearer. It was a man, about Indy's height, although a bit taller..with brownish blackish hair, that was thinning. Figures, since he was about Indy's age. If Mutt wasn't mistaken, this guy was a couple years younger than his father, but equally adventurous. Indy had told Mutt and Marion practically everything about this guy on the way, and the adventures they shared. So, Mutt knew more about this guy than he could ever imagine.

As soon as the man spoke, the man who had their luggage began hauling them upstairs. Mutt giggled softly, so nobody else could hear, although Marion gave him a slight nudge. Bates? That was that guy's name? That was so typical butler. After the nudging, Mutt immediately stood up straighter.

The man in the suit finally made it off the last step, and towards Indy with a huge grin. Indy held out his hand, but the man had grabbed a firm hold of Indy and hugged him. Indy smiled, this guy was as friendly as ever..and it had been too, too long. "Indy!" He said ,loudly.

"Gerald Kitchings." Indy greeted, " It's so good to finally see you again."

Mr. Kitchings nodded in return, then smiled at Marion as he approached her. "Indy, you didn't tell me your wife was this beautiful..."
Flattered, Marion blushed lightly as Gerald gave her a kiss on each cheek, as he held her hand in his. "I didn't know you had it in you, Indy."

Indy knew the man was only joking, and smiled. "Well, things certaintly have changed, Gerald. "

Gerald nodded, as he spotted Mutt. "This is him! "He smiled greatly, scooping Mutt into a big bear hug. "This is your little Indy you told me about!"

Indy nodded, as Gerald continued to pester the boy. After finally letting him go, Mutt took a deep breath of air, something he was deprived of during the strong hug.

"This is Henry." Marion said, as she took Mutt's arm and pulled him over to her.

"It's Mutt." Mutt spoke up, causing Marion and Indy to flash a look of embarassment.

"Charming boy." Gerald said, after about 20 seconds of looking at him. "He looks just like his father."

"He very much acts like his father as well." Marion said, a small chuckle escaping her.

"And his mother too." Indy chimed in. Gerald simply smiled.

"Well, I imagine since I've met your family, it's time for you to meet mine." Bates returned, with the family he had fetched.

As a woman walked over to him, followed by two young girls, Gerald looked to the Joneses. "Indy, Marion...Mutt...please let me introduce to you my family. This is my wife, Pepper..."

Pepper was a beautfil lady, younger than Gerald just as Marion was with Indy. She had her long brown locks of hair bouncing on her shoulder, as she greeted them. And she appeared like one of the sweetest ladies Marion had ever seen.

Pepper offered a hand to Marion, then Indy, then to Mutt. "It's nice to finally meet you all. I've heard so many good things about you, Dr. Jones."

"Please, call me Indy." He smiled, returning the hand shake.

Gerald put a hand on each girl's shoulder as he presented them. "This is my oldest daughter, Sara."

Sara just smiled at them all. "She just turned 18 a few months ago."Mutt's smiled grew bigger as soon as he had spotted the girls coming down the stairs with Bates. He didn't know there was going to be pretty girls around.

Indeed they were pretty. They were very pretty. Light facial features and hair just like their mothers. Sara was taller than Mutt, by about a foot. She had always just been the tall child in the family, since she was little. As Gerald's hand was placed on the younger girl's shoulder, Mutt's eyes zoomed to her.

"And this is Alex, my second daughter. " Her name rolled off Mutt's tongue, in his mind. She was about the same age as him, she had to be, Mutt figured. Since they were about the same height. "She's 15."

"Oh, just like Mutt! I mean Henry." Marion said, as Pepper smiled at her.

Mutt smiled again...he knew he was going to enjoy his stay here. Enjoy it, a lot.

Well then. That chapter's over with. I hope you enjoyed it. It was a little short I know. All my chapters are always short. ;p

I didn't have much time. I have to get ready for the movie right now. I'll start making these chapters longer next time. Please review.

Until next time, happy reading! ;)
