Craig of the Creek: The Movie

Chapter 3

Later that day, Craig went home and saw another truck carrying a bulldozer passing by infront of his house.

"I hate bulldozers." Craig said as he went inside.

Craig and his family were eating spaghetti for dinnertime, except for Bernard who was running late.

"Hi, Craig. You had a good time at the creek?" Nicole said.

"Not really? We heard the news that the creek will be gone." Craig said.

"So you kids heard, huh?" Nicole said.

"Yes, mom. Every kid heard about it. Mr. Michaelson is tearing down the creek and our house." Craig said while looking sad at his food.

"Yes, but we have other news. Now where's your brother, Bernard? It's pretty unusual for him be out pass 6:30." Nicole said.

The door open and it was Bernard with tears in his eyes.

"Bernard, you're 2 minutes late for dinner." Nicole said as Bernard started to weep.

"Son, are you alright?" Duane said.

"Its Alexis... she... she broke up with me!" Bernard cried.

"Oh no Bernard. I like Alexis. She was my favorite babysitter." Jessica said.

"Oh please, you think Alexis breaking with you is the worst news. Michaelson is tearing down the creek is way worse." Craig said.

"Craig. Bernard, baby. I'm sorry about you and Alexis, but at least we have some good news to cheer you up. We'll be going to Hawaii this summer. Maybe that will cheer you up." Nicole said.

"I don't feel like going to Hawaii. I feel like my future has been ruined. This is the worst summer ever!" Bernard wails as he goes up in his room.

"Oh, brother." Craig rolls his eyes.

"Poor Bernard. He's taking this break up thing really hard." Duane said.

"Um, hello?! Is anybody gonna talk about my needs?" Craig said.

"What is it, my guy?" Duane said.

"Mr. Michaelson is planning on destroying the creek and take away house." Craig said.

"We know, son. I can't stand Michaelson. That dude ruined everything for me." Duane said.

"Your father had history with Mr. Michaelson and so did I." Nicole said.

"Mom. Dad. How do you stop someone from taking away the creek or the house?" Craig asked.

"Well, here's something that might help. Here you go, Craig." Nicole said as she show Craig an old photo book.

"Whats this, mom?" Craig asked.

"Its me, your father, Uncle Darnell and Auntie Kim when we were in college. We used to protest on campus for student rights and injustice." Nicole said.

"Your grandma use to be protest too." Duane said.

"Did the protest worked?" Craig said.

"Yeah... it did. Just a long as you do it properly and not trash things." Nicole said.

"That gives me an idea. I can call for the Council of the Creek, tomorrow. Thanks mom!" Craig said as he kiss his mom on the cheek and leaves the table.

"There goes my little activist guy." Duane said.

The next morning, Jessica went into Craig room and woke him up.

"Craig. Get up Craig. There's a big screen TV in our backyard." Jessica said.

"What?" Craig said while waking up.
