Imagine if you will, it's a busy morning somewhere on the roads of California 7 years ago, and the famous " California love" song by Tupac is playing. Jeff is stuck in his grandpa's car with John and of course his grandpa waiting to get to their new home. And wouldn't you know it, the same song is playing on the radio. Jeff is looking out the window depressingly. John is on his phone looking at the latest memes and trends of 2014. As for grandpa: he's just having a bit of road rage while complaining about the song.

Grandpa: ugh, this song used to play a lot on the radio in the 90's and..AND LOOK AT THIS FOOL, i swear Californians don't know how to drive these days. When i was younger i always wanted to be here and now that i am, i wish I'd shut me mouth

John: Hey Jeff, did you hear? They're gonna be coming out with a new Ninja Turtles movie

Jeff: Yeah John, I know. I've been keeping up with it since we were last here. I've been telling you all the time now just leave me alone. 

John: sorry man, just thought you should know, you've been pretty quiet since we came back

Jeff: yeah well I'm feeling pretty crappy

Grandpa: heyy

John: hey woah watch your language 

Jeff: Oh please, crap is not a bad word. If it was, cartoons wouldn't be saying it as much. So just drop it ok

John: at least lose the attitude, we're in a new place, the least you can do is lighten up

Jeff: what's the point, no friends, no parents, no place to live, i feel like we've just been running around in freaking circles

Grandpa: it may seem like that son, but this time there will be no more running

Jeff: can't we just go back to sweetwater?

Grandpa: and let the ebola virus get us? no chance

John: grandpa, how are you so sure about that

Grandpa: as a scientist, it is my job to be aware of stuff happening or about to happen and so on

Jeff: but grandpa, you're retired

Grandpa: retired or not, i still got to be prepared 

Jeff: look, let's just get to this stupid house so i can go to sleep and stay inside all summer

Grandpa: yeah...about that, we're not gonna have a house this time

John: Then where are we gonna live? 

Grandpa: in an apartment

Jeff: crap, it's being like 8 years old again, next you're gonna tell me we're gonna be living in tehachapi 

It stays silent

Jeff: permission to swear just to feel better

Grandpa: uh...granted

Jeff rolls down the window and yells one of the loudest " F bomb" ever. They make it to the apartment complex, get an apartment,and they move in. Jeff gets his own room, John gets the living room, and grandpa gets a bedroom. Because Jeff has a lot of stuff, he got to have the master bedroom. It only took him 10 minutes to unpack and then he made his bed and went to sleep. A few days went by and Jeff barely left his room. John goes in and offers him to go swimming.

Jeff: sorry but I'd like to keep my pale complexion, besides all i know to do is float on my back and swim backwards 

John: at least you can float without holding on to the edge
