by Dequincyx

While on Thanksgiving vacation with the family at his Grandmother's house in Trofte-Minnesota, Cameron, his pup, Mickey, and his two cousins encounter a boy who has run away from home with his pet Fox to keep it from being killed and made into a Thanksgiving meal by his stepfather, the sheriff. And they soon find themselves hiding the boy and fox out at Cam's Grandma's place.

T18: Breakfast.

November 25th

The next morning, the family and Dustin were all in the dining-room in their pajamas, sitting at the dinner table, eating a catered breakfast from the Coho Cafe Bakery And Deli Monica had ordered, with her sitting at the head of the table. The food was pancakes stacked on top of each other with syrip, scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, waffles, grits, scattered hashbrowns with ketchup, sausages and powdered funnel-cakes. The drinks were glasses of orange juice.

Mickey stood on the floor, eating breakfast out of his dog-bowl.

Cameron, Leo and Rocco were just looking down at the food on their plates as they sat next to each other at the left end of the table.

"Something wrong with the breakfast?" Monica asked the boys.

"I'm still full from the dinner we had last night." Leo explained.

"Me too." Rocco added.

"Same here." Cameron said, wearing his red robe. The truth was he, Cameron and Rocco felt really guilty for eating dinner with the family last night, knowing that Will was in the woods in the tree-house with nothing to eat for himself or to feed Todd.

"It's delicious, Mom." Bill said.

"Thank you, sweetie." Monica said.

Cameron picked up his glass of orange juice with his right hand and began drinking it. But as he drank it, he looked out the open dining-room door and saw Will walk into the living-room through the foyer with a styrofoam bowl of green grapes in his hands, making him choke on his orange juice.

Rocco and Leo took notice of this too.

"Cameron, are you alright?" Alice asked.

Cameron placed his glass on the table. "Yeah, i'm fine, it's just...the orange juice."

"What about the orange juice?" Monica asked.

"It went down the wrong way." Cameron said.

"Oh, well, let me get you some water then." Said Monica before proceeding to get out of her chair.

Rocco then banged his fists on the table, making Monica stop and everyone else at the table flinch. "Sorry. Muscle spasm."

Cameron, looked out the door to see Will exit the living-room through the foyer and head back down the hall for the part of the house where the back door was.

"It's okay, everyone, it's just a muscle spasm." Lulu assured.
