A pick up where page 2 left off...

Meanwhile back at Sea School.  Robin called his mother.

"Robin!!!" said Monica very happily.

"Hey Mom it's great hearing from you." said Robin.

"Great hearing from you too.  How is Sea School?" asked Monica.

"Nevermind that how are you?  I heard there was an Earthquake back home.  I want to make sure if you're alright." said Robin.

"I'm alright the house is alittle wreck but no real damage done.  By the way your friend Cassie stopped by." said Monica

"Yeah I know she called me and told me and Lulu everything that has been going on." said Robin.

"I'm really alright your father wasn't there to lift a figer as usual." said Monica.

"Why am I'm not surprised." said Robin.

"So tell me what is going on with you and Lulu at sea school?" asked Monica.

"Sea School I'm passing all my courses.  All A pluses." said Robin.

"That's wonderful and Lulu?" wondered Monica.

"Things are going really well.  I'm glad she signed up as well." said Robin.

"That's good you still not upset that your father let someone else run the Revulotion instead of you are you?" wondered Monica.

"I'm still disappointed but I'll get over it." said Robin.

"I know how much you really want to run the place." said Monica.

"Mom can I talk to you for a moment?" asked Robin.

"Yeah sure what is it hun?" wondered Monica.

"It's about Cassie.  I love Lulu and she means alot to me but I can't keep Cassie out of my mind." said Robin.

"Wait a minute Robin you're not thinking about hooking up with Cassie because you can forget that.  The one thing me and your father can agree on is not to have a physical relationship with that girl." said Monica.

"But mom Cassie is a wonderful person and a good friend" said Robin.

"Robin I know you and Cassie are close friends and I know Cassie is a good person.  But the fact of the matter is Cassie already have a boyfriend and she have two kids from that boy.  Plus those two have more issue than anybody I know.  Also Cassie is Lulu's best friend." said Monica.

"I was afraid you are going to tell me that." said Robin.

"Robin trust me on this one.  You are better off with Lulu." said Monica.

"But Cassie really needs me mom especially now." said Robin.

"I know that Robin but what Cassie really needs is you to be her friend not a lover.  And you don't want to hurt Lulu again?  Remember what happened the last time when you and Cassie became more than friends on that vacation cruise?" reminded Monica.

"Don't remind me." said Robin.

"Charles freaked out and you almost lost Lulu.  Lulu never have anyone who really cares about her.  That's why she is not that close to her folks.  You have a great thing with Lulu don't ruined it by making the same mistake.  You are good person with good heart Robin...don't end up like your father a lonely and miserable person that don't have a clue how to treat people." said Monica.

"Okay I'll keep that in mind." said Robin.

"You better." warned Monica.

"I get it mom." laughed Robin.

"When are you coming home?" asked Monica.

"Very soon." said Robin.

"Good because I miss you terribly.  Give Lulu my love. Love you." said Monica.

"Love you" said Robin hanging up.

"Who was that?" asked Lulu coming in.

Batman642

"My mom. I'm miss her so much. I can't wait to go home", said Robin.

"I know what you mean. Tell her I said hi next time", said Lulu kissing his cheek.

"I will. So Thanksgiving break is coming up. Where off all of next week, I think it will be great if we fly back to the Heights and see everyone", said Robin excited.

"Are you sure that's a good idea. I mean after the quake and all I don't think we will enjoy ourselves", said Lulu.

"I know, but what about our friends. After spending time with Cassie, the twins, the Sutton's, and even Charles, we won't even think about the quake on second of the trip. Come on Lulu, please!!! I need you there", said Robin begging on his hands and knees.

Lulu evaluated his proposal..

"Okay, okay. We can go", said Lulu.

"Thank you so much Lulu. This means so much to me", said Robin kissing her as he got ready to pack.

Meanwhile back at the Lincoln Heights Charles spotted Tay.

"Hey Tay whatsup!!!" wondered Charles.

"Go away Charles I don't want to talk to anybody." said Tay.

"Everyone is worry about you." said Charles.

"No they are not so quit lying. said Tay.

Come on Tay this is me you talking to now.  Anyway you owe me after I gave you ride over to Sage.  Now tell me what is going on.  What is up with you going off on your dad and storming off the house like that?" asked concern Charles.

"You wouldn't understand." said Tay.

Batman642

"After having a crazy dad like Mac. I think I understand any problem", chuckled Charles.

"Well...its just that ever since Nate came. Dad always has been hanging out with him. I surprised dad didn't know that was his son because he sure did treat Nate like he was. I was never noticed by Dad. Only for the negative things I did", said Tay hurting.

"Tay you know that's not true. Your dad loves you unconditionally. Just as he loved you with Lizzie and Cassie. He'll do the same with Nate. Now you need to make him proud and why don't you try talking to him about you feelings. Things won't get better unless you confront the problem", said Charles.

"Thanks Charles. I think I'll take your advice. Your a good person you know that. I'm glad your with my sister", said Tay as he hit Charles arm.

"Your not so bad yourself Tay. I'll see you later", said Charles go back inside.

Meanwhile Cassie received a call from Lulu telling her about Thanksgiving break.
Robertadamsonlover

"This is the best news I have heard in a long time Lulu."said Cassie.

"Yeah it'll great seeing you again girl." said Lulu.

"You and Robin have to come and spend Thanksgiving with us." said Cassie.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?  What about Charle's mom and your folks?" asked Lulu.

"I'm sure they won't mind.  You know this house is huge enough." said Cassie.

"But what about Charles?  You know him and Robin don't get along very well." said Lulu.

"Lulu my dad's a cop remember he'll make those boys behave" said Cassie as they both laughed.

"This is going to be great we can finally catch up on." said Lulu.

Batman642

While Lulu and Cassie continued to chat, Charles found Eddie alone in the den watching football.

"Good news, Mr. Sutton," Charles announced happily as he stood at the door.

"Oh?  What could that be?" Eddie asked a little down.

"I found Tay and spoke with him and he's calmed down now."

Eddie looked surprised.  "That's good news alright.  I thought I'd have to put out an APB on my boy," he admitted.

"No need to worry, sir," Charles assured him.  "Mind if I watch the game with you?"

Eddie looked surprised again.  "This is YOUR HOUSE, Charles--you can do whatever you want in YOUR HOUSE."

Charles smiled.  "I know, sir, but I didn't want to impose," he explained.

"It's no imposition, Charles.  Come in and join me--we don't spend enough time together."

Charles laughed as he entered the den and sat in front of the tv.  "We spent plenty of time together in that jail cell, sir!"

Eddie didn't look amused.  "Not funny, boy," he replied.

Soon Jenn, Marla, Natalie, & the twins return back from the mall.

"Mom you all back." said Charles.

"Yeah we picked a little odds and ends for the kids." said Jenn.

"Well it looks expensive." said Eddie.

"Eddie it was on Marla." said Jenn.

"Yeah I figure I want to do something nice for everyone." said Marla.

"Oh by the way we ran into Bill today." said Jen.

"You mean that guy from the Child modeling agancy?" asked Charles.

Batman642

"Yea me and jenn ran into him in the mall"said marla

"oh ok, what did you all talk about or discuss, mom?"he asked

"well the kids and i might be going on a date with him"she said 

"mom thats great i hope hes a nice guy"said charles 

"you deserve someone special.....and to have what me and cassie have"said charles looking in the bags

"hey mom nothings for me"he said with sad puppy dog eyes 

"yes, i brought you rosettea stone ....the italian lanuage set and im teaching collin the language, since kallie has modeling"she said  

meanwhile cassie was thinking of a way to tell charles about their friends spending thanksgiving with them

americana876 

"Hey maybe I can pull the same way I pull my dad when I want him to double my allowance.  I'll cook.  I'll fix his favorite meal and I will play our song to get him into the right mood." said Cassie.

Then Lizzie came in.

"Hey Cassie who's on the phone?" asked Lizzie.

"If you must know I was talking to Lulu." said Cassie.

"That's awesome how is she and robin doing?" asked Lizzie.

"They are doing fine...they're coming home for Thanksgiving and I want them spend Thanksgiving with us but I have to come up with a way to get Charles let them stay for Thanksgiving." said Cassie.

"Good luck with that." laughed Lizzie.

Batman642

Just then, Tay came up the stairs.

"Tay!  You're back!" Cassie grabbed him, hugging him.

Tay looked at her like she was crazy. 

"Don't look at me like that, Tay!  We know you ran out on Dad!"

"Oh, that....  It's no big deal--it's not like I ran away from home or something, Cassie.  I just needed to cool off," he explained.

"So you're okay now, Tay?" Lizzie asked.   "I mean, with Nate being our brother?"

Tay looked annoyed.  "I'll try to deal with it better."

Lizzie and Cassie smiled at him.  "I knew you'd come around, Tay," Cassie said with confidence.

"Thanks.  I'm going to finish my work out now," he told them as he went to his bedroom.  "I've still got more push ups to do."

Candygwen

"Alright Lizzie now that Tay is gone I gonna need your help." said Cassie.

"Let me guess you want me to help butter up Charles to invite Robin & Lulu for Thanksgiving." said Lizzie.

"It's not buttering him up...I need you to help me prepare his favorite dish." said Cassie.

"Same difference." said Lizzie.

"Whatever are you going to help me or not." said Cassie.

"Alright but it's going to cost you." said Lizzie.

"Lizzie you know most of our clothes is burned at the house Lizzie." said Cassie.

"I know thinking more on the line that I get to tag along with you and Charles on your dates." said Lizzie.

"And the new earrings you have on you and not to mention Natalie does need a new bracelete." said Lizzie as she staring at Cassie's bracelete.

"You little..." angered Cassie.

"You little what?" said Lizzie.

"Alright here." said annoyed Cassie as she gave Lizzie her bracelete.

Batman642

"Sweet!"  Lizzie smiled as she put the bracelet on.  "I'll just wear this until I give it to Natalie," she explained to her sister.

Cassie was fuming.

"Anyway," Lizzie continued, "what is Charles' favorite dish?"

Candygwen

"Oh my God!!!! I don't know!!!" shocked Cassie.

"Wait a minute you've been with him for a while now and you don't know his favorite dish?  What kinda girlfriend are you?" asked Lizzie.

""Lizzie don't start with me." snapped Cassie.

"Hey don't get mad at me because you don't know Chuck as well as you thought." said Lizzie.

"I do know Charles...I just forgot wait a minute I got it he loves pizzas I'll make him that." said Cassie.

"Actually that's Robin favorite dish." said Lizzie.

"Oh my God what is wrong with me?" frustrated Cassie.

"Will you calm down.  Doesn't Chuck like Lasunga (sp)?" asked Lizzie.

"That's right right.  Lizzie you are a life savor thanks so much.  I don't knw how to thank you." said Cassie.

"Those shoes will go nicely with my blouse." said Lizzie.

"Nice try Lizzie now come on." said Cassie.

Batman642

Just as they were on their way down to the kitchen to check and make sure they had all of the ingredients for the lasagna, Charles was on his way up the stairs, carrying the Rosetta Stone.

"Hey Beautiful!  Look at what mom got us," he said showing her.

"What is it?" Cassie asked. 

"It's a language course to teach us Italian so that we can communicate with Colin while he learns it from mom," Charles explained.

"She's gonna teach Colin to speak Italian?" Lizzie asked, being nosey.

Charles chuckled.  "That's what she says.  Personally, I wish she'd potty-train him first," he said as he elbowed Lizzie and made her giggle.

"Well that's nice that she wants to bond with Colin.  He's shy and needs the attention," Cassie said.  "I don't know how much time I'm gonna have though to learn Italian!"

"Oh well, it's the thought that counts.  It's nice that she thought about us, right?" Charles asked.

"Sure, Charles!  Your mom is so sweet!" Cassie said, happily.

"And she bought some clothes for all three kids--go downstairs and check 'em out," he encouraged the girls.

"Maybe if we're nice to her, she'll buy US some clothes," Lizzie schemed.

"LIZZIE!  BEHAVE!" Cassie scolded her.  "Don't you dare say a word to Mrs. A about buying us anything, you hear?"

"She's loaded, Cassie!  And you just said all of our clothes were burned up in the fire!" Lizzie argued.

Before Cassie could reply, Lizzie headed down the staircase.

"I'm warning you, Lizzie!" Cassie threatened as she followed behind her.

Charles shook his head and laughed as he continued up the stairs to his room.

Candygwen

"Are you sure you know what you doing Cassie?" asked Lizzie.

"Lizzie I've been cooking alot longer than you have." said Cassie.

"Yeah but you never been in Mrs. Antoni's kitchen before." said Lizzie.

"Just give me the ingredients." said annoyed Cassie.

"What are you girls doing?" asked Jenn walking in.

Batman642

"How was your trip to the mall Mom?" Lizzie asked as she grated the mozzarella cheese.

"Oh it was very nice!" Jenn said, reflecting on her shopping trip with Marla.  "You should see the cute outfits Marla got for the twins.  She got one for Natalie too!"

"Yeah Mom?" Lizzie asked with interest.  "Is it okay if I go now and check them out?"

Cassie started to object but before she could say anything, Jenn replied, "Sure, Cassie and I can handle this!"

Lizzie was out of the kitchen in a flash.

Candygwen

"Okay Cassie we all alone now so why are you preparing Charle's favorite meal?" asked Jenn.

"I love Charles and he's been so nice to us letting us stay I thought it would be nice that I cook dinner." said Cassie.

"That's sweet but I do know when you are up to something.  I tried this sort of thing with your father when I want something now out with it." said Jenn.

"Alright Robin and Lulu are coming home for Thanksgiving." said Cassie.

"That's great how's things going for them at Sea School?" asked Jenn.

"They are enjoying themselves." said Cassie.

"But what all this have to do with this?" asked Jenn.

"Well I invited them over for Thanksgiving.  And I want to get Charles approval." said Cassie.

"What?!?!? Cassie..you didn't." said Jenn.

"Mom I haven't seen them in awhile and I miss them so much." said Cassie.

"Cassie I wish you would've discuss this with Charles and his mother first before you invited them." said Jenn.

"Yeah but I really need to talk someone." said Cassie.

"But what about Stacy?" asked Jenn.

"Stacy nice but I'm alot closer to Robin and Lulu." said Cassie.

"Cassie I really don't think this is a very good idea." said Jenn.

"Mom, Robin and I are just friends and he really into Lulu...nothing will happen." said Cassie.

"Look I like Robin as much as I like Charles and Robin is a nice guy but I'm sure that Robin will rather be at his family for Thanksgivng." said Jenn.

"Robin's folks got issue and so does Lulu's parents.  They really need this." said Cassie.

"Alright but I hope you know what you doing.  Charles will indeed invite Lulu...you better hope he invite Robin as well." said Jenn.

Batman642

So later that night everyone gathered around for Cassie first cooked meal.

"Well this an honor. Let's just hope I'll survive after eating this meal", said Tay.

"Shush Tay. This meal will be the best meal ever other than my own", said Jenn.

"Lasanga. Mmmm...this looks great", said Charles licking his lips.

"I'm glad you like it I hope you enjoy Charles", said Cassie.
Robertadamsonlover

"I'm enjoying it already," Charles replied even though he hadn't tasted anything.  "I'm enjoying it because YOU did this for ME, and THAT'S something SPECIAL, Cassie."

"I'd do ANYTHING for YOU, Charles," she told him.

Eddie cleared his throat.  "Uh..... I don't know about ALL THAT!" he interrupted.

"Don't worry, Mr. Sutton, I wouldn't ask your daughter to do anything objectionable, sir," Charles said, gazing at Cassie.  "But I really would do ANYTHING for Cassie," he continued, "objectionable or NOT."

"REALLY Charles?" Cassie asked, touched.

This time, Tay cleared his throat.  "Uh.....I feel like I'm watching a SOAP OPERA!" he complained.  "Can we start eating already?"

Candygwen

"Lets say grace." said Jenn.

They all bless their food and ate.

"Wow Cassie this is good.  When did you learn how to cook like that?" asked Marla.

"I learned from the best." said Cassie looking at Jenn.

"Thanks." said Jenn being honored.

"This is the best lasunga ever. You really a good cook Cassie" said Charles.

"Cassie isn't their something you need to asked Charles? Jenn mentioned.

"Im glad you like my cooking Charles." said Cassie.

"Charles must be really in love to actually like your cooking Cassie." said Tay.

"Shut up Tay!." snapped Cassie.

"Anyway Charles before I was so rudely interupted you know Robin and Lulu will be in town for Thanksgiving." said Cassie.

"Yeah." said Charles while he stuff his face.

"Well I invited Lulu for Thanksgiving dinner." said Cassie.

"That's good." said Charles.

"And I also invited Robin as well." said Cassie.

"What!?!?" stunned Charles.

Batman642


"Now before you freak, Charles, remember what you JUST SAID," Cassie reminded him cautiously.

Charles dropped his knife and fork as he sat with his mouth wide opened in shock.  "WHAT did I JUST SAY???" he asked in disbelief.

"Chuck," LIzzie started, amused, " you JUST SAID you'd do ANYTHING for Cassie."  Lizzie turned to Tay.  "Tay, isn't that what Chuck JUST SAID??"

Tay tried to hold back his laughter.  "Uh-huh Charles, that's what you JUST SAID.  That you'd DO ANYTHING for my sister," he repeated.

Charles got up angrily, pushing his chair back from the table and without saying a word stormed out of the dining room.

Candygwen

"God I knew something like this will happened." said Jenn.

"Isn't someone going to do anything?" asked Marla.

"Oh this dinner is really good." said Eddie minding his own business.

"Go after and talk to him Cassie." said Jenn.

Cassie followed Charles to the bedroom.

"Charles what is the problem?" asked Cassie.

"ROBIN...THAT'S THE PROBLEM!!! YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BRING INTO THE PICTURE.  WHY DIDN'T TALK WITH ME FIRST?" yelled Charles.

"Charles, Robin is our friend." said Cassie.

"No he's your friend...no he's your SECRET LOVER!! Just admit it that you want to be with him instead." said Charles.

"Charles if that was the case I would've been to sea school with them.  Robin is our friend and has been there for the both of us." said Cassie.

"Excuse we are better off without him." said Charles.

"That is not true and you know it." said Cassie.

"Things was going well for us since he went to sea school.  Now you messed it all up by inviting him over." said Charles.

"Things going well for us?  Excuse me things have not gone that well since Robin and Lulu left.  We have been held hostage, Been caught on camera having sex, Your step dad tried kidnapped me, caught in an earthquake, and techinically committed murder." said Cassie.

"Cassie for the last time we did not kill Mack.  He was going die to anyway." said Charles.

"Charles I thought you have gotten over this jealousy thing.  Robin is in love with Lulu." said Cassie.

"But you are still in love with Robin." said Charles storming out.

Batman642

Charles ran down the stairs and headed for the front door, but when he got outside he was surprised to see his mother standing in the driveway, leaning against her car with her hands folded across her chest, tapping her foot.

"Going somewhere, son?" she asked, annoyed with him.

Candygwen

"Mom please I don't want to talk right now and don't give me that look." said Charles.

"I can't believe you Charles.  How can you be so selfish?" angered Marla.

"Me selfish?  What about Cassie?  No one pointing their fingers at her." whined Charles.

"What is so selfish about Cassie inviting her friends for Thanksgiving?" asked Marla.

"It's Robin everytime he's around I'm second choice to Cassie.  He's a thorn at my side." snapped Charles.

"Oh my God that insecurity of yours needs to stop. That boy is not after Cassie. Why can't you just get over it and grow up?" snapped Marla.

"Because I get over the fact that Robin slept with my girlfriend." yelled Charles.

"Charles that was only one time and has he gone after Cassie since?" asked Marla.

"B..But..." stuttered Charles.

"Answered the question." sid Marla with a sterned voice.

"No" said Charles.

"And has Robin gone after Cassie when you all stayed at the beachhouse?" asked Marla.

"No" said Charles.

"And didn't you and Robin actually get along for once at the beachhouse?" asked Marla/

"Yes." said Charles.

"So there I see no reason why he can't come for Thanksgiving." said Marla.

"Look I just don't trust him mom." said Charles.

"Well I'm sorry you feel this way Charles.  But since you can't approve of Robin being here then I will because this is still my house and Cassie is our guest." said Marla.

"Charles you have a great thing with Cassie and if you keep acting like this you will lose her for good this time.  And if you do end up losing Cassie it won't be because of Robin.  You will have only yourself to blame." said Marla.

Batman642

" mom i see where your coming from but i think this should be a family thing and friends shouldn't be included...you dont see me inviting people over do you"said charles

"no i dont son but cassie is more out going than, you need to change for Collin's sake so he doesn't end up like you son"said marla looking concerned

"ok mom i will do this for Collin because no matter what i will be there for the twins even if me and cassie dont make it"said charles walking back inside

americana876

"Charles!!!" cried Cassie.

"Alright Cassie you win...Robin and Lulu can come for Thanksgiving.  I will be the bigger person for you and the twins sake." said Charles.

"Thanks Charles this means alot to me." said Cassie hugging Charles.

"But I'm warning you Cassie if Robin tries anything to steal you away from me or you two decide to creep...he's dead and so will our eternal love." said Charles.

"Charles I really wish you will trust me and start accepting Robin as a friend.  Like it or not I'm going to make friends rather you like or not.  But I will not going to stop loving you.  You are the one I want to be with.  You are my number one guy." said Cassie kissing Charles.

Batman642

"Your kisses taste so good, Cassie," Charles told her when they broke apart.

Cassie giggled.  "Which do you like better?  My kisses or my lasagna?" she asked playfully as they walked hand in hand back to the dining room.

"Mmmmm......that's a hard one, Cassie," he played along.  "I'll tell you after I finish eating my dinner."

She slapped the back of his head.  "You BUM!!!!"

They both laughed as they entered the dining room and joined the rest of the family.

"Everything okay in Chassieland?" Eddie asked, not bothering to look up from his plate.

Candygwen

"Everything is fine sir." said Charles.

"Dang Daddy I see that Charles isn't the only that like my cooking." laughed Cassie.

"I haven't eaten all day." said Eddie.

"Yeah right!" snickered Lizzie.

Meanwhile back on the ship Lulu was packing her clothes and was excited to see her friend Cassie.

Batman642

"Lincoln Heights, here we come!!" Lulu cried happily as she threw some clothing into her travel bag.

"Woooooooo - Hooooooooo!" Tawanna joined in.  "I can't WAIT to get back on dry land and see my boo, and he BETTER NOT  have been creepin on me!"

Lulu laughed.  "I hear THAT girl!  I'm so glad MY BOO is gonna be right by my side the whole time!"

Meanwhile, back in Robin's room......

Candygwen

"Let's see all my clothes packed, gifts for the Cassie, Dana, Natlaie The Twins, Lizzie, Tay, and her parents." said Robin. as he pack up the gifts.

"Hey Robin are you packed yet?" asked Lulu.

"Yeah I just packing The Suttons their gifts." said RObin.

"What about Charles?" asked Lulu.

"Charles who?" joked Robin.

"Robin!!!" said Lulu rollin her eyes.

"Relax I got Charles a buck o 5 worth of cologne." said Robin.

"Robin that's cheap." said Lulu.

"Well it's not like we're buddies buddies or anything." said Robin.

"He let you stayed at the beachhouse the whole summer you owe him that much.  We both pick him up a nice t-shirt when we get off.  Robin please be nice to Charles when we get there."begged Lulu.

"As long if he don't act like an ass we're cool." said Robin.

Batman642

Robin's cellphone rang but he didn't recognize the number on the caller i.d. when he looked at it.

Lulu saw the confused look on Robin's face.  "Who is it, baby?" she asked curiously.

"I dunno, but we'll soon find out," he told her as he answered the call.

Candygwen

"Hello?" Robin answered.

But there was no answer and they just hung up.

"Well..." confused Lulu.

"They just hung up." said Robin.

"Weird." said Lulu.

"Probably some idiot got the wrong number." said Robin.

Batman642

Seconds later Robin's phone rang again and when he looked he saw that it was the same number as last time.

"Well," he told Lulu as he went to answer the call, "let's try this again." 

"This is Robin, who's this?" he asked.

"Hey Robin!" the female voice responded.

"Hey!" Robin replied, not catching the voice.  "Who's this?"

"My feelings are hurt, Robin!  You don't know my voice?" she teased.

Lulu pulled at Robin's shirt to get his attention.  "Who is it?" she whispered.

Robin shrugged, clueless, and turned his attention back to the caller.  "No, I don't know your voice and my girlfriend is standing right here and is ready to rip this phone out of my hand if you don't identify yourself right now," he explained.

"It's ME-- LIZZIE!" she giggled.

Robin sighed, relieved.  "It's Lizzie," he told Lulu.

"Oh my God!" Lulu said, excited.  "Lemme say hi!"  She grabbed the phone away from him.  "Lizzie!  Hi girlfriend!"

"Hi Lulu!  I heard you guys are coming to spend Thanksgiving with us!"

"Yeah, girl, we're packing right now.  I can't WAIT to see everybody!"

"Me too!  Can I talk to Robin?  I want to tell him something."

"Sure," Lulu handed the phone back to Robin.

"See Lizzie?  She knew who it was and she ripped the phone out of my hand anyway!" Robin joked.  "What's up?"

"I wanted to give you a heads up about Charles," Lizzie said.

Candygwen

"Whatsup with old Chucky boy?  Is he cool with me coming here?" asked Robin.

"Not really...he's being a big baby." said Lizzie.

"Somehow I'm not a bit surprise." said Robin.

"Cassie was able to calm him down so it's safe for you to come." said Lizzie.

"Cool." said Robin.

"I don't think he still trust you but don't worry my dad and I got your back." said Lizzie.

"Thanks." laughed Robin.

"No problem! I really miss you Robin.  Things hasn't been the same since you and Lulu went to Sea School." said Lizzie.

"I miss you too Lizzie.  By not recognizing your voice I can tell you are becoming a young woman." said Robin.

"Really?" giggled Lizzie as she begins to blush.

"Yeah you are really growing up." said Robin.

"Thanks Robin." said Lizzie blushing.

"Hey I heard about Johnny...sorry to hear about your friend's death.  How are you holding up?" asked Robin.

"I'm still coping. But I'll through this." said Lizzie.

"That's good you hang in there." said Robin.

"Thanks I have a new boyfriend his name is Devin.  He's no Johnny Nightingale but he's sweet though." said Lizzie.

"Lizzie you're breaking my heart I thought I was your number one guy." teased Robin.

"Don't worry you'll always be my number one guy." laughed Lizzie.

"Alright I hate to break up y'all little romance but let me talk to my girl now." said Lulu taking the phone away from Robin.

Batman642

"So what's this I'm hearing about you breaking hearts?" Lulu asked Lizzie.

"Oh.....you know me Lulu," Lizzie said stringing her along.

"So who is it this time?  What happened to Jeron?"  Lulu pried.

"His name is Devin Kingston.  He's not as street as Jeron even tho he THINKS he is, so you should like him.  He's kinda on the intellectual side.  His dad is the Reverend at my church, and you know how I LOVE church, so that's a good thing.  And, as far as Jeron, he's gone for now cuz his grandmother was getting evicted so they sent him away for awhile, and  I haven't heard from him, sooooooooo when the cat's away....." 

"Lizzie, you bad girl!" Lulu giggled.  "I'd better get back fast to keep you out of trouble.  I guess Cassie is too busy with her babies to keep you in check, huh?"

"We're ALL BUSY with CASSIE'S babies, Lulu, so get ready," Lizzie warned her.

"I'm ready for MY GODTWINS," Lulu announced proudly.  "I hope they remember me," she worried.

"Of course they will!  But I gotta go now, Lulu. Say bye to Robin for me,"  Lizzie said as she hung up.

Lulu looked at the phone strangely.  "Hmmm......that conversation sure ended quickly," she said to Robin.

"Lizzie probably have to help Cassie with the twins." said Robin.

"I guess you're right. But I just can't help that something wrong.  I have a feeling there is more than they are telling us." said Lulu,

"Lulu they've been through alot not to mention in a earthquake.  Plus Mack came back." said Robin.

"Yeah I just hope he's stay dead this time.  He gives me the creeps." said Lulu.

"Yeah I don't no one could've survived that.  Anyway we will find out more when we get back." said Robin.

Meanwhile back at Mrs. Antoni's house.

"Lizzie who was on the phone?" asked Cassie.

Batman642


"Oh!  Cassie! " Lizzie said a bit startled, " Hey......" she stalled as she smiled nervously.

Cassie looked at her suspiciously and quickly got annoyed. "I swear Lizzie, sometimes you are so FLAKY!"  she said sucking her teeth and rolling her eyes.

"Me?  Flaky?"  Lizzie remarked, hoping she wouldn't have to answer Cassie's question.

"Yes, YOU!  Now come and help me PLEASE.  The twins need to be changed and FAST!  Who do you want, Colin or Kalie?"

Lizzie was happy Cassie's curiosity about the phone call was short-lived.  "I'll take Kalie," she replied, grinning.

Cassie looked at her strangely.  "Since when are YOU so happy to change a pamper?"

Lizzie sighed as they headed for the nursery.  "Just count your blessings, Cassie," she advised her older sister.  "And anyway, where's Chuck?  Why can't he help you?"

"Charles' stomach is bothering him," she admitted sadly.

"Nice lasagna," Lizzie replied sarcastically.

"Oh well, it served its purpose.  Charles is onboard with Lulu AND Robin visiting," she replied.

"Congratz," Lizzie responded as she picked up her niece and groaned.  "Kalie you're getting heavy," she told the young child.  "And boy do you stink!  Can I trade her for Colin?" she asked Cassie as she tried to hand her over.

"Not on your life--AUNTIE!" Cassie said as she picked up her son and kissed him.

Meanwhile Tay got a phone call from Devin.  He told Tay that his Dad is leaving and they are ging back to Chicago for good this time.  And he scared to tell Lizzie.

"Tay you have to help me." said Devin.

"What do you want me to do?" asked Tay.

"Tell Lizzie that I'm leaving after Thanksgiving." said Devin.

"I can't do that...why can't you tell her yourself?" asked Tay.

"Because I don't want to hurt Lizzie feelings." said Devin.

Batman642

"Well Devin, I tell you what," Tay advised, "if you can't tell her face-to-face, then write it down.  Lizzie is a sucker for stuff like that."'

"Word?  I can do that--write a goodbye!" Devin replied, relieved.  "I'll get started on it right away!"

Devin hung up without even saying goodbye and Tay was happy he was off the hook.  He decided to go downstairs and play Guitar Hero in the game room, but when he got there, he found Eddie in the game room. 

"Dad -- I was gonna play Guitar Hero," he started to explain.

Meanwhile, Devin had his pen and paper out and was composing his farewell letter to Lizzie...

Candygwen

"How am I going to write to her?" wondered Devin.

"This is so hard.  Just when things started to go well this happens." said Devin to himself.

Meanwhile Rev. Kingston was sitting around thinking.  He would just send the kids home to their mother and stay here to make the Suttons life a living hell.

"I'm not going back to Chicago until I do everything to make Eddie's life a living hell." said Rev. Kingston.

Then suddenly he a called from wife asking for her kids.

Batman642

"Great minds think alike," he told his wife after she made her request.

"What are you saying exactly?" Anita asked nervously, not trusting him.

"I'm SAYING I was just thinking that I'd send you the kids and stay out here in Lincoln Heights," he explained, annoyed.

She laughed, still nervous.  "Why--that's WONDERFUL, dear!"

"Don't you DEAR me!" he snapped back nastily.  "Just make sure you're there to pick them up from the airport when I tell you to!" he demanded, slamming down the phone.

On the other side of the world, Robin, Lulu and Tawanna were boarding a U.S.-bound airliner, anxious to get back to Lincoln Heights.
Candygwen

"Finally we're to be back on dry land.  I gonna be back with my peeps." said Tawanna.

"That girl is crazy." laughed Lulu.

Lulu was staring at Robin he was so quiet.

"Robin are you deep in thought again?" asked Lulu.

"I just thinking about Cassie and what to expect when we get back home." said Robin.

"I'm worry too. But we can't let this bring us down." said Lulu.

"I know I just wish there was something I can do about it." said Robin.

"Only thing we can do right now is be there for our friends." said Lulu.

"Have you talk to your parents yet?" asked RObin.

"No and I'm not planning to." said Lulu.

"Why are you being so sturbum Lulu?" asked Robin.

"Robin you just don't know my parents okay." said Lulu.

They soon got on the airplane and flew back to L.A. Meanwhile Charles and Cassie was getting ready to pick up Robin and Lulu.

Batman642

"Okay Charles now remember how to behave. No evil stares or trying to start a fight. Let's just please get along and have a great Thanksgiving", said Cassie rubbing Charles chest.

"Fine. I won't even try to look at him that much. I'll only make suddle responses. Now can we please hurry and get this over with?", said Charles annoyed.

"Come on Charles get in the spirit. It's a blessing we're all here together as a family. Please cheer up for me", said Cassie pleading.

"I will. Now let's go", said Charles, but all he could think about is if what what it be like if Robin was crushed under the roof instead of Mac.

As Robin, Lulu, and Tawanna arrived at bagage claim Charles and Cassie were waiting on the opposite end.

After Robin grabbed his back he was the first to see Cassie. "Look how beautiful she is. He long smooth hair, her soft gleaming skin.WHAT is wrong with you Robin get focused" thought Robin.

"CASSIE!!!!!", screamed Lulu as she ran down to the waiting couple.

"LULU!!! ROBIN!! TAWANNA!!", said Cassie running to the three.

"Oh my gosh!! I'm so glad to see you!! I missed you so much", said Cassie getting caught up in Lulu's arms.

"Cassie! Its great to see you again. Sea School was so boring without you", said Robin hugging her.

"Hey Charles", said Lulu embracing his enthutiastic body.

"Nice to see you again Lulu. How are you?!", said Charles trying to act happy for Cassie.
Robertadamsonlover

"I am doing wonderful.  How about yourself?" asked Lulu.

"Lets just say I had better days." said Charles.

"Robin look at you.  You look so handsome." said Cassie.

"Am I always?" laughed Robin.

"Of course I meant you look so grown up, Sea School have really been good to you." said Cassie.

"Thanks and you look more gorgeous than ever." said Robin.

"Thank you Robin." said Cassie getting ready to blush.

The two started hugging again until Charles interuppted.

"Alright that's enough hugging. Don't get carry away." said Charles getting jealous.

"Nice to see you too." said Robin sarcasticly.

"Likewise." said Charles trying to control his jealousy.

"Isn't anyone going to give me a hug.  I've been on this big cruise with these two clowns. And I thought you and Charles was bad." laughed Tawanna.

"Tawanna you know I'm always happy to see you girl." said Cassie hugging her.

"Can we go now?" asked Charles being impatient.

"Charles don't be rude." said Cassie

Batman642

"Charles is right, Cassie," Robin interrupted.  "We should be on our way."  He started to pick up the bags and Charles, a bit surprised at Robin's cooperation, picked up some too.

"This way," Charles directed as they all followed.

"What's with Robin?" Cassie whispered to Lulu as they walked behind.

Lulu giggled.  "I guess he's trying to keep the peace," she whispered back.

"Yeah, Cassie," Tawanna added.  "So don't hate.  Appreciate."

"I'm not hating!" Cassie replied defensively.  "I'm just asking.....Geez!"

They walked the rest of the way in silence until they got to the car.
Candygwen

"Alright everyone in Robin you sit in the back in the car and Cassie you sit in front where I can see you." said Charles.

"What you don't trust me alone with Cassie?" asked Robin.

"Let me put it this way for you Robin...HELL NO!!!" shouted Charles.

"Charles." upset Cassie,

"I meant there is plenty of room in the back." said Charles acting nice.

"Is your beau on cracked?" confused Tawanna.

"I'm sorry Charles just had a long day that's all." said Cassie defending Charles behavior.

As drove Robin, Lulu, and Tawanna was talking their semester at sea and the great time had.  They all joke and laughed until got arrived at Lincoln Heights and saw what damage the earthquake has done.

Batman642

"OMG!" Lulu shreaked as she poked her head out of the car window and started to cry.

Robin pulled her back away from the window and she buried her head in his chest and sobbed.  "Calm down....." he said softly as he held her close.  "It'll be okay....."

Tawanna was choked up as well.  "Lincoln Heights was tore up from jump street and NOW look at it!  It looks like a war zone!"

"I haven't been back here since the quake hit," Cassie admitted.  "We've been at Charles' mom's house and everything looks normal in that neighborhood, but I can't believe how bad everything looks here!  It looks EXACTLY the way it did when we left," she complained.  "Why hasn't anyone DONE ANYTHING?"

"Cuz Lincoln Heights is the hood, that's why," Tawanna answered bitterly as she wiped away a tear.  "So much for Thanksgiving...." she said sadly as they pulled up to her house and she saw the condition it was in.

She got out and Robin helped her get up the damaged steps to her front porch.  She took her travel bag from him and sadly said "Thanks, bro," giving him a quick hug.

"We'll be in touch, Tawanna," he said as he turned and carefully made his way back down the broken steps to the car.
Candygwen

"I'm sorry you have to see this you guys." said Cassie.

"Me too." said Lulu.

"Wow everything you and your family work for is gone." said Robin.

"Oh my God look at the Rev." said Lulu.

They all saw the damage and people looting and everything.  Cassie and Robin saw Lulu getting upset.

"Charles let head back home now because it upsetting Lulu." said Cassie

Then Charles drove past the Sutton household and wishing that Robin was trapped in the burning house.

"Charles wake up...I meant your mother's house." said Cassie.

"Sorry beautiful." said Charles.

As Charles drove he thought to himself I better keep a close eye on Robin. He's better not get any ideas about moving in on Cassie. 

Batman642

Then Charles go an idea.  "Dude," he began, "shouldn't you see your own family FIRST before you get all comfie at my house?" he asked.

"Makes sense to me," Robin agreed after thinking it over briefly.  "Do you mind, Lulu?" he asked politely.

"No, baby, I don't mind.  That's a good idea for us to check on your mom first."

"Yeah, and maybe you two should stay with her at least for your first night," Charles continued.  "I mean, you know how mothers can be, and you wouldn't want to hurt her feelings, dude."

"Oh that's so nice of you, Charles....." Lulu commended him.  "You can be SO SWEET!"

"It's nothing," Charles replied a little bashful.  "Just tell me how to get to her place."

So Lulu directed Charles and soon they arrived at Monica's street.

"Here we are, dude," Charles announced happily, "home sweet home."

"Too bad it doesn't look sweet," Cassie remarked as they surveyed the damaged apartment building.  "Are you SURE you guys wanna stay here?" she asked doubtfully.
Candygwen

"Cassie it's only going to be for the first night.  And I'm sure my mom won't mind me staying over at Mrs. Antoni." said Robin.

"You know since the apartment is so tore up Robin, she going to need help fixing it up.  And it may take a few days." said Charles.

"I've been to the apartment Charles and doesn't look that bad.  Remember his mom lived outside the Heights.  Robin we will pick you up first thing tomorrow." said Cassie.

"Okay thanks Cassie." said Robin.

"And you two will have to tell me more about Sea School tomorow.  We all time to spend time together." said Cassie.

"That's right we even got pictures to show." said Lulu as she hug Cassie.

"See you tomorrow Robin." said Cassie hugging Robin.

"It's good seeing you again Cassie." said Robin as he and Cassie continue to hug.

The Charles snatch Cassie and threw her in the car.

"Yeah Yeah Yeah bye." said Charles as he drove off quickly.

"I hope everything is alright with Charles...it's almost like he wasn't happy to see us." said Lulu.

"Nevermind him you know Charles doesn't have any class.  Lets go check on my mom." said Robin,

"Okay." said Lulu.

Batman642

Monica was delighted to see her son and Lulu standing at her apartment door.  "My BABY!!" she squealed as she jumped up and hugged him, making him unsteady on his feet.

"Whoa!  MOM!  Okay, okay, you're happy to see me--I get it!" Robin laughed as his mother kept a tight grip around his neck.

"Get in here right now!" she insisted as she pulled him inside with Lulu close behind.  "When did you get back?!"

"Just now, Mom.  You're the first stop we made," he told her proudly.

"Oh baby....THANK YOU!  You have no idea what that means to me!" Monica said getting emotional.  "It's been really hard around here since the quake......"

Lulu started to get emotional too.  "Oh Miss Monica," she said sympathetically as she hugged her, "I can't believe what a mess everything is!  I wasn't expecting anything like this...."

"Don't start crying agan Lulu, please...." Robin moaned, uncomfortable.

"We can't help it!" she and Monica replied in unison, crying.

Meanwhile in the car.......

"Charles, you didn't have to be so rough back there--throwoing me in the car!  Are you crazy?!" Cassie asked angrily.

Candygwen

"You and Robin were getting  little too comfortable hugging each other." said Charles.

"Charles we were hugging because we are friends and we haven't seen each other in awhile." said Cassie.

"Well that didn't look like a friendly hug to me." said Charles.

"God what is with you. Why are you so paranoid?  He's with Lulu for heaven sakes." angered Charles.

"My point exactly he with Lulu so why don't stick with her instead of moving in on you?" angered Charles.

"Charles for the last time there is nothing going on with me and Robin." said Cassie.

"Yeah..whatever." said Charles.

"Charles why don't you trust me?" upset Cassie.

"I do trust you Cassie. It's him I don't trust." said Charles.

"You know Charles I love you but sometimes you act like a big baby sometimes." said Cassie.

Batman642

Meanwhile, Jenn, Eddie and Natalie are preparing to go meet with the Child Modeling Agency and see about the job that Bill told Jenn about for the little girl.  Tay is getting ready to visit Spencer in the hospital and Lizzie is going with him, hoping that she'll get to see Nate as well.

Marla is home babysitting the twins awaiting Charles and Cassie's return so that she can touch base with Bill before she loses her nerve.

Candygwen

Charles and Cassie finally arrived home.

"Charles, Cassie where are your friends?" wondered Marla.

"Robin and Lulu stopped by Robin's mother to check up on her and see how she is doing.  We pick them up tomorrow." said Cassie.

"Or maybe...hopefully Robin will change his mind and stay with his mother for Thanksgiving." said Charles.

Cassie got angry and stormed off to her room.

"What!?!?" confused Charles.

"Go check on the twins?" said Cassie as she slammed the door.

"What was that all about?" asked Marla.

"Nothing mom." said Charles.

"It's about Robin isn't it.  Why are you being so mean to that boy?" asked Marla.

"Because he's a thorn at my side." said Charles.

"Charles what did I tell about your jealousy...you cannot afford to lose Cassie and the twins because of your insecurity." said Marla.

"Alright I'll do it for Cassie and the twins." said Charles.

Batman642

Charles went into the nursery and found Collin and Kalie fast asleep in their cribs.  He reached over the rail and ran his fingers through Collin's curly, dark hair. 

"Hey, little man, you need a haircut," he whispered, grinning at the peacefully sleeping boy.

"I thought you were only gonna speak Italian to him," Cassie said, smiling a little, as she stood at the doorway and watched.

"And I thought you were mad at me," Charles replied, surprised that she had come out of the room so quickly.

She slowly entered the room and approached him.  "I'm not mad, Charles.  I mean--I WAS---but--well......"

He looked at her curiiously as he took both of her hands in his.  "Cassie?"

She sighed, frustrated.  "I love you so much, Charles, and I don't want to make you feel like your second best or like you've got anything to worry about, but I think that's exactly what I've been doing and so, for that, I'm sorry." 

Charles was relieved.  "Cassie....." he replied softly as he held her close for awhile.

"You forgive me?" she asked.

"If it'll make you feel better, yes, I forgive you.  But really, you don't owe me any APOLOGY.  All I ask is that you keep your distance from Robin is all.  He's a guy--I'm a guy--and I know how guys think, Cassie.  He may have good intentions, but.....well.....you're BEAUTIFUL.  And stuff happens...." he tried to explain.

"Okay, but I PROMISE you, Charles, NOTHING'S GONNA HAPPEN between me and Robin," she said as she looked him straight in the eye.  "I swear to you on our kids' lives!"

"Shhh......Shhh......." he told her, gently covering her lips with his finger.  "I believe you....."

Candygwen

Soon the two started to kiss just when were getting to make love the twins started crying.  They found the both need their diapers change.

"Charles what have you and your mother feeding our babies?" asked Cassie.

"Just usual stuff." said Charles.

"We have got to get these kids potty trained." said Cassie.

"They 're too young beautiful." said Charles.

"I know but it seems like we are changing their diapers every few seconds" laughed Cassie.

Meanwhile back at Children Modeling Agency Bill was doing a winter shoot for Natalie.  Jenn was hoping Bill would call Marla and ask her out.

Batman642

When Jenn got Bill off to himself for a minute, she slipped him Marla's phone number.

"Here," she said with a wink and a smile, "just in case you lost it."

He looked at it and grinned.  "Thanks, Mrs. Sutton."

"You're welcome, and please, call me Jenn," she told him.

Jenn didn't realize it, but Eddie was watching everything and got the wrong idea, thinking that she was flirting with Bill.

Candygwen

After the photoshoot they all left to get something to eat.  Jenn notice Eddie being all quiet.

"Eddie is everything alright?" confused Jenn.

"I fine." said Eddie with a tone.

"You sure?  You haven't said a word since we left the photoshoot." said Jenn.

"I said everything is cool." said Eddie.

Batman642

"This is a beautiful little girl you've got, Mr. Sutton," Bill said, trying to make conversation.  "And Natalie acted like a pro on her very first modeling shoot."

Eddie couldn't help but smile.  "Yeah, she's definitely got something...."

"She's got IT," Bill continued.  "Star quality.  And with star quality, comes big bucks."

He turned to Natalie who was sitting between him and Jenn, tickled her under her chin and watched her giggle.

"You've really got a way with the ladies," Eddie said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry?" Bill asked, confused. 

"Nothing -- forget I said anything.," he said annoyed.

"Eddie," Jenn started, "something is obviously bothering you."

Eddie took a deep breath.  "I saw you give him your number, Jenn."

Candygwen

"What?!?!" shocked Jenn.

"Don't play dumb Jenn I saw everything.  Just because I may have a son by Dana doesn't give you the right to creep around on me Jenn.  How could you do this to me?" asked Eddie.

"Whoa hold up!!! I am not creeping around with Bill." said Jenn.

"Then what is up with you giving him your number?" snapped Eddie.

"One lower your voice and two that number I gave is Mrs. Antoni.  Bill has the hot for her and Mrs Antoni likes him." said Jenn.

"Sure and I suppose Cassie plans on eloping with Robin.  You expect me to believe that Jenn?" angered Eddie.

"Hey Mrs. Sutton are you sure that Marla really wants to go out with me?  Should I really call this number?" asked Bill.

"For the 100th time Bill YES!!! Now will you call this woman before she goes crazy." said Jenn.

"Alright thanks." said Bill.

Eddie was dumbfounded and embarrass.

"Jenn I didn't know.  I...I.. am so ashamed." said Eddie.

"Well you should be. What possessed you to think I want to creep around behind your back?" asked Jenn.

"I just that we've been through so much. I thought you have lost faith in me." said Eddie.

Batman642

"Eddie, we've been together for 20 years give or take--I can't even remember--it's been so long.  We've gone through SO MUCH together Eddie, and you think a little baby/mama drama is gonna shake my faith in you?  Not to mention that the BABY is now a grown man!  Please, Eddie!  Where's YOUR FAITH in ME?"

Before Eddie could answer, Bill, on his cell phone, interrupted them and asked.  "Could you two keep it down please?  I can't hear Marla."

Jenn and Eddie were startled, amazed and embarrassed all at the same time.

"Sorry," Eddie muttered in a low voice.

"Wow!  That was fast!" Jenn whispered in his ear.

"I told you he had a way with the ladies...." Eddie whispered back.

Meanwhile, Marla was on the other end of the line, happy to hear from Bill.
Candygwen

"I'm really glad that you call Bill." said Marla.

"Me too are you doing anything this week?  I want to have dinner with you." said Bill.

"That's sound sweet Bill but I'm doing something for Thanksgiving. You can come if you want." said Marla.

"I would love to.  I hope it's not too much trouble." said Bill.

"Of course not I figure Charles and Cassie invited their friends I may as well invite you as well." said Marla.

"That's wonderful I'll be there.  And your son wouldn't mind?" asked Bill.

"It's my house I can do whatever I want.  Anyway Charles has his own problems to worry about." said Marla.

Batman642

While Bill and Marla continued to chat on the phone, Jenn whispered to Eddie, "Did you REALLY think I'd give my number to another man, Eddie?  And a white man at that?"

Eddie shrugged.  "Well, what about Dr. Christian Mario, Jenn?  You can't tell me sparks weren't flying...." he teased.

"Oh Eddie, PLEASE!" Jenn replied, sorry she brought up the race issue.

"And let's not forget your daughter--she seems very content with HER white man.  I just thought you were following suit!"

"Well, Eddie, once and for all--NO WAY.  And it doesn't matter what color the person is--you're it for me, okay?" 

She kissed him on the cheek.

"Fine," he replied.  "Case closed.  Now where's the waitress with our bill?  I'm ready to get out of this joint."

Meanwhile back at Monica's house Robin and Lulu was helping Robin's mother clean up the house.

"Wow that Earthquake has really done a number in this house." said Lulu.

"Yeah well at least there was no permannet damage done." said Robin.

"Thanks again for spending with me." said Monica.

"No problem mom." said Robin.

"Well at least your house didn't get burned down like Cassie's crib.  They are really going through a rough time." said Lulu.

"Yeah I know.  I kinda' feel bad for them." said Monica.

"Well we can't stay too long because Cassie invited us for Thanksgiving." said Robin.

"Oh I didn't know that." surprised Monica.

"Oh no forgot to tell you." said Robin.

"It's okay! I was just hoping you two would spend Thanksgiving with me.  I haven't seen you in awhile.' siad Monica.

"I'll just call Cassie and tell her we'll Thanksgiving with you instead." said Robin.

"Yeah she'll understand." said Lulu.

"No you two have made a promise to your friends and you owe it to them to spend Thanksgiving with them.  I'll be alright." said Monica.

"Then in that case why don't you come with us to The Antonis and spend Thanksgiving with us.  The house is big enough." said Lulu.

"No I don't want to intrude." said Monica.

"Come on Mom. You don't need to spend Thanksgivning alone." whined Robin.

"I say no Robin. I'll be fine trust me. We got the whole day to spend together." said Monica.

"And you'll cool with that?" asked Robin.

"Yes I'm cool with that...you better make plans to spend Christmas with me when you get off." said Monica.

"I will." said Robin.

"Me too." said Lulu.

"So tell me more what went on at Sea School. Where did you all go?  Don't leave out any details." said Monica.

"Okay mom I'll tell you everything." said Robin

Batman642
 
Meanwhile back at the Antioni's house Charles was trying to find a what he could do about Robin.

"I have to find a way to keep Robin and Cassie seperated....I know I'll invite the whole group. Families and friends. With so many people Cassie will have to stay occupied", said Charles rejoicing.

So Charles invited all of Cassie's family, Robin's mother, Lulu's parents, and even Tawanna and her family over. Charles saw nother wrong with his plan since people would think it would be nice to have Thanksgiving after a tragic time.

"That was sweet of you to invite the whole family Charles." said Cassie kissing Charles.

"Yeah it figure I do my good deed for the day." said Charles.

"Now that's the way I like to hear my boyfriend talking." said Cassie.

"Don't I at least get another kiss?" begged Charles.

"Sure why not." said Cassie

The two of them.

'Excuse me don't you have something to do?" asked Eddie.

"Oh yeah sure Mr. Sutton." said Charles.

"I gotta keep a close eye on that boy." said Eddie.

"No you need to go out and get us a turkey for tomorrow." said Jenn.

"Oh alright." said Eddie.

Meanwhile Tay and Lizzie was at the hospital. Tay was visiting his grandfather while Lizzie was checking up on Nate.

Batman642

"Tay, my boy!" Spencer greeted him.  "It's good to finally see you!"

Tay hugged his bedridden grandfather.  "How ya feelin grandpa?" he asked, concerned.

"Like I wanna get outta here--that's how!  They're monitoring me cuz of a bump on my head!" he complained.

"I heard it was a concussion," Tay replied.

"Same difference," Spencer said, annoyed.  "Where's my girls, Lizzie and Cassie?" he asked changing the subject.

"Lizzie's with Nate and Cassie didn't come."

"Lizzie's with Nate?!  What am I -- chopped liver?!"

"She'll visit you, grandpa, don't worry.  This way we have time to ourselves--just us men--before SHE comes in," he reasoned.

"Yeah, well, I guess you're right.  But she'd better be careful with that Nate fellow because I'm  not convinced he's any kin of ours," Spencer confided in Tay.

"What do you mean?" Tay asked confused.

"You'll understand when you get older," Spencer brushed him off.

Meanwhile in Nate's hospital room.......
Candygwen

"Lizzie hey what are you doing here?" asked Nate hugging Lizzie.

"Just checking up on you and see how you are doing." said Lizzie.

"I'm weak but I'm still alive.  What's been going on with you?" said Nate.

"Nothing much just been staying over at Charle's mom house.  Guess what Robin and Lulu are coming to visit for Thanksgiving." said Lizzie.

"That's nice but I don't know who they are Lizzie." said Nate.

"Oh yes silly me I forgot to tell you Lulu and Robin are friends of Cassie...and mine." said Lizzie.

"I didn't know you have boyfriend named Robin...I thought you were into Devin?" laughed Nate.

"Robi is not my boyfriend.  He's around my sister's age." annoyed Lizzie.

"Alright Alright don't get excited." laughed Nate.

"However I wouldn't mind having a baby by Robin." said Lizzie accident thinking out loud.

"You want to have Robin's baby?  Aren't you a bit young for that?" shocked Nate.

"Oh my God did I just say that?  I didn't meant that...I meant Cassie want to have Robin's baby." said embarass Lizzie as she try to denied it.

"Oh my God I can't believe I just said that...I'm so embarass." shocked Lizzie.

Batman642


"Hey, we've all been through quite a shock with the quake and all, Lizzie," Nate said, trying to make her feel better, "so just calm down.  Sit down and relax and let's chat," he suggested.

Lizzie was relieved that Nate smoothed things over without a fuss.  "Thanks," she said quietly as she sat in the chair next to his bed.  "I'll be glad when you get out of here," she told him.

He made a face.  "Yeah, well, where am I going when I get out?  Your house is destroyed and that was my final option...." he replied sadly.  "Have you heard anything from my mother?"

Lizzie shook her head no.  "I haven't talked to Miss Dana since the day of the quake.  You haven't seen her?"

"She was here the other day, but I don't know where she's staying--probably at a shelter."

"That sucks.  I wish I could get in contact with her...."

"Why?  There's nothing you can do to help her," Nate replied.

"Dana and Mrs. Antoni hit it off this summer at the beach house.  They hung out at the mall and I think they were even seeing the same guy at one point--I'm not sure--but I know they liked each other.
