T4: More Relatives.

One Hour Later...

In the now Thanksgiving decorated living-room, Brooklyn picked up one of the two paper-turkeys that were on the coffee-table in front of the sofa and folded it up. After returning home from the shelter and finding the living-room like this, she decided to redecorate the living-room.

"Who said you could do that?" Monica asked as she entered into the living-room the foyer, startling Brooklyn.

"Oh, come on, Monica." Brooklyn said.

"Come on what?" Monica asked as she walked up to Brooklyn.

"It looks like the Thanksgiving parade broke down and parked itself in here. You can not be okay with this."

"Well, Olivia and i have an agreement. She's in charge of the decorations, except for the Thanksgiving tree. I put my foot down on that one." Monica said.

"And not these? I don't get it, it's your house." Brooklyn said before putting the folded up paper-turkey on the sofa and then walked away from it.

"Yes, it is my house, Brooklyn." Said Monica as she walked over to Brooklyn. "And if Olivia wants to fill it with paper-turkeys, she can fill it with paper-turkeys."

"It's alright, Monica." Said Olivia as she entered into the living-room throughthe foyer, with Monica turning to face her.

"She's taking down your decorations." Monica said.

"Yes. You know what? I may have gone a bit over-board with the paper-turkeys. If it bothers you that much, Brooklyn...get rid of 'em." Olivia said.

"Happy almost Thanksgiving, everyone." Said Ned as he, Tracy, Cameron, Mickey and Leo entered into the living-room.

"Happy almost Thanksgiving, Dad." Said Brooklyn as she walked toward Ned.

"Thanks." Ned said as Brooklyn walked up to him and embraced him with a hug. They then ended the hug. "Wow. You look beautiful."

"Thank you, i feel beautiful." Brooklyn said. "You look nice too, Granny."

"Thanks. Same to you." Tracy said.

"What is the matter with you?" Monica asked Olivia.

"What do you mean?" Olivia asked.

"I defend our right to put up the devorations and you tell Brooklyn she can take them all down?" Monica said.

"Thank you, Monica, for having my back about the Thanksgiving decorations. But i have decided that it will be in everybody's best interest if i just try to get along with Brooklyn." Olivia said.

"Have you really lost it? You Brooklyn is exactly like her Grandmother. If you haven't figured it out, there is no "getting along" with her. If you wanna survive, you better stand up to her or get trampled. Those are your options. There is no in-between." Monica said.

"Where's Goggle?" Leo asked, now standing at the coffee-table with Cameron, Mickey and Brooklyn.

"Who's Goggle?" Brooklyn asked.

"My favorite turkey. Mom put him up." Leo answered.

"Maybe Brooklyn ate him." Cameron joked.

"Funny." Leo said sarcastically. "But seriously, where's Goggle?"

"Why don't you ask Brooklyn?" Monica suggested as she walked up to Leo, Cameron and Mickey.

"You mean this guy?" Brooklyn asked as she got the folded up paper-turkey off the sofa.

"Why did you fold him up?" Leo asked.

"Yes, Brooklyn, why?" Monica asked.

"Um, you know, i'm gonna put him right back up. Okay?" She said before she unfolded the paper-turkey, opening it up, and placing it back on the coffee-table.

The doorbell then rang.

"I'll get it." Said Olivia before she went into the foyer to the front door and opened it, revealing Lulu Falcore and her 8-year old boy, Rocco Falcore.

Lulu had blond hair that went past her shoulders and stopped at her upper-back, and her eyes were blue.

Rocco had blond hair and blue eyes.

"Knock, knock." Said Lulu.

"Well, look who's here. Hi. Happy almost Thanksgiving." Said Olivia. "Come in, come in." She said, standing aside, allowing Lulu and Rocco to enter inside, with Lulu closing the door, then they head back for the living-room. "Hey, everyone, look who's here." She said as she re-entered the living-room, with Lulu and Rocco following her from behind.

"Rocco!" Leo and Cameron said excitedly as they and Mickey ran up to Rocco, who also ran up to them.

"Let's go upstairs and watch YouTube videos on my phone." Leo said before he, Cameron, Mickey and Rocco ran upstairs to the room Cameron and Mickey were using to sleep in.

"Couldn't find a family of your own to celebrate with?" Brooklyn asked Lulu.

"Oh, good. Brooklyn." Lulu said happily. "You're here." She said dryly, her happy face turning into a frown.

"What is all the comotion in here?" Alice asked as she, Bill and Sky came out of the kitchen and the living-room through the foyer. "Lulu?"

"Hey, big sis. Surprise." Lulu said to Alice, with a smile on her face.

"LULU!" Alice shouted excitedly before she ran up to Lulu and hugged her, who hugged her back, and both women screamed with excitement before they ended the hug. "Oh, my gosh, this is incredible! I can't believe it's actually you!"

"Well, believe it, 'cause it is me." Lulu said. "Hi, Bill, hi, Sky."

"Hey." Bill greeted.

"Hi, Lulu." Sky added.

"Wait. Did you come alone this Thanksgiving?" Alice asked.

"Of course not, i brought Rocco with me." Lulu said.

"Well, where is my adorable little nephew?" Alice asked.

"He went upstairs with Cameron and his dog. If you wanna go upstairs and say hello, you can." Lulu said.

"No, that's alright. I'll do it whenever he comes back down." Alice said. "So where's Dante? Is he upstairs too?" She asked, referring to Lulu's husband.

"Uh, no. Actually, he's back home in Jacksonville-Florida, at work." Lulu said.

"You mean my son didn't come with you? I thought maybe he was outside getting the luggage." Olivia said, referring to Dante.

"No, like i said, he's back home at work." Lulu said.

"Well, why didn't he call his job and let them know he was going out of the state with you and Rocco for the Thanksgiving holidays?" Alice asked.

"You know Dante. If there's work to be done, he's all over it." Lulu said.

"That doesn't sound like Dante. Usually he takes time off from work to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with us." Bill said.

"Yeah, well...not this year, unfortunately." Lulu said. "So...what's going on this Thanksgiving? What are you guys up to?"

"Monica, Olivia and i were in the kitchen with Sky, making all of our versions of dressings. Wanna help?" Sky said.

"Sure. But first i gotta get my and Rocco's luggage out of the trunk of the car." Lulu said.

"You mean you drove all the way here from Florida?" Alice asked.

"No. Rocco and i flew here on a plane, like the rest of you. Then i called a cab at the airport and had it drive us to the Auto place where i rented a car for Rocco and myself, and we drove here." Lulu explained.

"Oh. Well...that makes sense." Alice said.

"Yes. Yes, it does. Now, as i said before, i'd like to get my and Rocco's luggage out of the car, then i want for all of us to sit down and talk together as a family." Said Lulu.

"It's a deal." Alice said.
