AUTHORS NOTE: THIS ONE IS A LONG ONE. ALSO THE GUY IN THE PICTURE OF JAYDEN PROVENZANO IS SHANE WEST.

- (SCENE STARTS IN KITCHEN, JAY FIDDLING WITH A MODEL PLANE.) -

"I wish I could stay home with you and fly toy airplanes." Manny complains.

"These aren't toy airplanes." Jay looks at Manny.

"Right, these are models and they're very complicated." I say, fixing the wing of the plane.

"Exactly, Emilia." Jay said gladly.

"My friend always let me use them in Colombia. Never had one of my own." I explain.

"You want to fly one of these, you got to be familiar with airfoil, drag, lift and thrust, these are all principles of aerodynamics." Jay continues.

"The box says 12 and up." Manny points out.

It got silent for a moment. "What?!" Jay says confused.

"You can fly toy planes with Jay next time. Today you and Emilia have to spend time with Luke and Alex." Mom tells Manny.

"Why?"

"His mother invited you, so you go."

"Mom, I'm busy today. I'm supposed to go to the mall, and plus, do I really have to hang with Alex? She's so dorky." I complain to my mother.

"Yes, Haley is busy and Alex is gonna be all alone if you don't come." She explains to me.

"My gosh, Haley is always busy." I mutter. Of course Alex was all alone. That's all I expect from her.

"Family needs to be close, right Jay?" Mom looks his way.

"I'm pretty sure this is a typo .." Jay says, still bothered by the fact it's 12+.

- INTERVIEW WITH JAY AND GLORIA (aka mom) -

"Men need their hobbies. Manny's father had many hobbies. Like hiking in the desert, that kind of skiing that they drop you from the.. how do you say in English the takatakatakataka.." she says, moving her fingers in a circular motion.

"Helicopter." Jay answers, no emotion on his face.

"Yes. Once on a dare, he even boxed with and alligator."

"Wrestle. You wrestle- you can't box with alligators." Jay reminds.

"You sure?"

"How would they get the gloves on those little claws?"

"Aren't they like tiny little hands-"

"No! Okay, now I forgot what we're talking about." He says, sounding angry and impatient.

"Anyways, hobbies are important for the men! Whether you're risking your life, or flying little planes from a safe distance." Gloria says, back on the topic.

Jay looks at the camera like he's disappointed.

- INTERVIEW OVER -

- (SCENE CHANGES TO PHIL AND CLAIRE'S HOUSE, ME AND MANNY ARE THERE TO PLAY WITH OUR "NIECES AND NEPHEWS") -

"Manny brought his favorite game to play with Luke" Mom exclaims.

"It's called empire! You use strategy to expand territories to take over the world!" Manny joyfully says.

"Luke is gonna love that, he's out back." Claire points to the trampoline.

Manny looks out the window and sees a half naked like wearing a box on his head jumping around.
