Home Alone... But... (Home Alone: Lost In New York)

I - Literally Just the Beginning

(THE DONALD DUCK SLIPPERS EXIST I WANNA BUY THEM NSJRBSGBERHGSEJ)

(BTW you have to read and FINISH the first book to understand Buzz's attitude because he acts quite different here... I'm looking at you mom.)

3rd Person POV:

Everyone scattered around to get their things ready for the trip the very next day. Kevin sat on his parent's bed, somewhat hoping that last year wasn't repeated. Sure, he enjoyed it just a bit because Buzz got to assist him in taking down the Wet Bandits. It was pretty fun, to say the least.

K(ate): Honey, are you packed yet?

Kevin held his Talkboy up to his mouth.

"Yes."

"Yes."

Kate jumped slightly, not realizing he had the Talkboy. She shook it off and continued packing her things.

K: Everything I put out for you?

"Yes."

"Yes."

She smiled slightly.

K: Oh! Did you see what grandma Penelope sent you for the trip?

"Uh, let me guess. Donald duck slippers?"

K: Ahah. Close.

She held up an inflatable clown.

K: An inflatable clown for you to play with in the pool.

'How exciting.'

Kate and Kevin perked up and looked at the entrance, where Buzz stood.

K: Buzz. Are you finished packing?

'Mostly. I was heading to my room but decided to stop by.'

Kate chuckled and went to grab something. Kevin looked at Buzz as he motioned for Kevin to meet him in his room when they were done talking. Kevin nodded as Buzz left and Kate came back.

"Why do we have to go to Florida? There's no Christmas trees in Florida."

K: Kevin, what is it with you and Christmas trees?

"How could you have Christmas without a Christmas tree, mom?"

K: We'll... Find a nice fake silver one. Or decorate a palm tree.

Kevin slumped down onto the bed, kind of disappointed. He looked over at the TV and started recording with his Talkboy.

TV: Guest of the celebrity Ding-Dang-Dong, stay at the world renown Plaza Hotel! New York's most exciting hotel experience. For reservations, call toll free, 1-800-759...

His voice drowned out as Peter came in.

P(eter): Honey, do you know where the batteries for this Camcorder is?

K: Yeah, I put them with the charger.

Peter went to the chargers and pulled them out, then the charger he needed, then he plugged it back in. Kevin noticed but he didn't say anything.

P: Hey Kevin. You better got put your tie on. We don't want to be late for the Christmas pageant.

Kevin smiled.

"My tie's in the bathroom. I can't go in there cause Uncle Frank's taking a shower. He said if I walked in there and saw him naked, I'd never grow up never feeling like a real man."

Kate and Peter stared at him with a frown.

"...Whatever that means."

Peter laughed and Kate eyed him. He shut up and turned back to Kevin.
