T19: Breakfast Family Feud.
"Grandma?" Cameron asked.
"Yes, Cameron, what is it?" Monica asked.
"Can Leo, Rocco and i go outside into the woods and hang out in the tree-house when we're finished eating? Please?" Cameron asked.
"Sure. But first...why don't we all give an early thanks for all the things we have?" Monica said. "Like, um..." She began before she stood up. "like our family...and our wonderful new friend, Dustin."
"That we're all still here." Brooklyn added.
"That i'm here with all of you...thanks to Dante." Dustin said.
"Uh...yeah. Uh-well-and that we're here happy together. Um-to family and...to a new friend. Happy almost Thanksgiving." Monica said.
"Happy almost Thanksgiving." The rest of the family and Dustin said, minus Brooklyn.
Brooklyn just drunk the rest of her orange juice, completely annoyed as she looked at Lulu and Dustin.
"If Dante were here with me...i know he would join me in thanking everyone for being so welcoming. And...i wanted to particularly thank Dustin...for attending this year's Thanksgiving with me and Rocco when Dante could not be here with us." Lulu said.
"Is that right?" Brooklyn said.
"Excuse me?" Lulu asked.
"You know..." Brooklyn began before she stood up. "there is an alternative theory floating around in my head."
"Brooklyn." Said Ned as he stood up. "Brooklyn."
"Uh, Cameron...why don't you, Leo and Rocco head upstairs and get ready for the great out-doors?" Monica suggested. She didn't normally dismiss anyone from breakfast, lunch or dinner, but she knew there was about to be a big blow-up between Brooklyn and Lulu, and she didn't want Cameron and the other boys to be spectators.
"Okay." Cameron said before he, Leo and Rocco got up from the table and went to the door. "Come on, Mickey." He said as he and the other two boys turned to the Dalmatian puppy.
Mickey stopped eating his bacon and followed Cameron and the other two boys out of the dining-room, with Rocco closing the door afterwards.
"So as i was saying...i think that Dante has no idea that this guy is here with you and Rocco. I don't even think that he knows this guy flew here on a plane with you guys. In fact, i think i know what happened. You and Rocco left home and then met up with Dustin at the airport and boarded to plane with him." Brooklyn said to Lulu.
"Uh-oh." Sky said.
"What are you talking about, Brooklyn?" Olivia asked as she stood up.
"I'm talking about the other side of the story. Right, Sky?" Brooklyn said.
"Brooklyn, i told you this theory in confidense." Sky said as she stood up.
"Yeah, but i think-"
"Don't." Ned said, cutting Brooklyn off. "She's angry, she's been drinking. I think it's time for you to-"
"What exactly did Sky say-"
"Well, you know what, it's just a theory. Obviously SOMEONE doesn't think that." Sky said, cutting Lulu off.
"Thanks." Brooklyn said sarcastically.
"So that's what you think?" Dustin asked as he stood up. "You think i'm cheating with my best friend's wife? The mother of his son?"
"Wait a second. Why don't we just let this go and finish eating-"
"I can't just let this go! I'm being accused of trying to steal my friend's wife and i'm just suppose to keep eating breakfast?" Dustin said, cutting Tracy off.
"You shouldn't even be here." Brooklyn said.
"Dante asked me to come in his place." Dustin said.
"I'm sorry, Dustin." Lulu said as she stood up. "Brooklyn's just jealous of me."
"Oh, really? Really, is that what you think? Cause i don't think i am jealous of you." Brooklyn said.
"You know what, Brooklyn's mother called me back home in Casper, Wyoming before Olivia, Leo and i left for the airport and told me she wasn't gonna be able to make it this Thanksgiving. She's a little upset because of that." Ned said.
Tracy stood up. "Yeah, and not to mention the fact, Ned, that you should've been there for her, being that you're her father, but you weren't. You were too focused on Olivia."
"ENOUGH!" Monica yelled, getting everyone's attention. "STOP!" She shouted. "STOP IT RIGHT NOW! I will not put up with this fighting! Not any day! But especially not when it's so close to Thanksgiving!" She had expected Brooklyn and Lulu to blow up at each other, but hadn't counted on other relatives getting involved. She'd decided shut it down right then and there.
"I'm really sorry." Brooklyn said.
"And i'm sorry that your mother couldn't be here with us this Thanksgiving." Monica said.
"It's no excuse. I'm sorry, Dustin." Brooklyn said. "I'm sorry i ruined everyone's morning."
"No, Brooklyn, you haven't. I won't let you." Monica said. "Now then...let's sit back down and finish eating breakfast."
Brooklyn, Olivia, Sky, Dustin, Lulu and Tracy all sat back down in their chairs and the family resumed eating breakfast.
