Home Alone Fan Fiction Remake

chapter 3

The next morning a knocking came to the front door, alerting everyone, but the topmost floor.

Peter and Kate were sleeping soundly, but they could hear a little bit of the sharp knocking at the front door. Once they both sat up and realized what the real time was, horror dawned upon them. "WE SLEPT IN!" The couple hurried to wake everybody up and get them out to get ready to catch their flight and meet the van drivers for them.

Max was feeling more cold than usual today, so she put on a hat and a tight scarf, but she would lower it to talk to people and just as she did, Mitch Murphy, a boy who lived across the street who was Kevin's on-off friend, also decided to come visit and say goodbye to the McCallisters. Everybody was in a panic to get ready. There was a bit of arguing, but everyone managed to get out of the door in record time. Mitch and Max walked together as the parents were in a frenzy to get ready to make it to the airport in time.

"E-Excuse me...?" Max tried to get Kate's attention while Mitch found an open door and wanted to get something from one of the boxes with his back turned.

"Chelsea, you're going to have to go into the van with Leslie and Frank." Kate says to Max, distracted. She got one of the girls to do a head count, who accidentally counted Mitch.

"But I'm not--" Max tried to explain.

"Go, we're late!" Kate says angrily. She pushed Max towards the others' van.

Max yelped as she was forced to go along with this. After Leslie counted everyone, Mitch actually walked off and they all loaded up in the vans, but according to her, everyone was ready to go and all together. Seeing as it seemed like everything was fine; Kate got the drivers to go once she was inside the van herself.

Max somehow got roped into going on vacation with everyone, she had to wonder where Kevin and Chelsea were during this. Surely the McCallister family would notice that she wasn't one of them. They didn't, everyone was so stressed they thought everyone meant to be there was there. So they headed off to their holiday. Max was forced to ride in the van with a family that was not her own and the vans went off. Mitch sent a wave to the leaving family as they had to hurry to the airport and make their flight.

Meanwhile Chelsea was still cuddled up to her brother, dreaming of how it seemed life would be if it was just her and Kevin.

Kevin hummed softly in his sleep, having the same dreams, little did they both know that they were slowly coming true. He eventually woke up, having the best night of sleep in what felt like years. He got out of the bed with a yawn and it was surprisingly quiet. Almost too quiet. "Mom?" she called out, but no one but an ominous echo responded.

Chelsea woke up herself after Kevin got up. She announced where she was going, still half asleep, and headed to the bathroom to do her morning routine. Kevin nodded to Chelsea and he decided to go on a little scavenger hunt to see where everyone else was, not realizing what time it really was. He even went down to the basement, feeling he might be being pranked by Buzz or something, but something that was a horrifying monster in his eight-year-old mind caught his attention and made him run back upstairs in fear.

Chelsea had done a quick wash and brush her teeth and came downstairs with her dressing gown on. Kevin was sitting at a chair in the kitchen, trying to get over his fear, but he was now thinking of everybody and wondered what just happened and how they could have left him and Chelsea home alone like this. Could it be coincidence... Or... Fate? Chelsea came into the kitchen, hearing Kevin talking quietly to himself.

"Is this a joke?" Kevin murmured as he couldn't find anyone from his family except for Chelsea.

"Is what a joke, Squirt?" Chelsea asks, giving a little fond smile.

"Chelsea, they're all gone, I don't understand it..." Kevin looked back to her. "But, you're still here..."

"Maybe our wish came true." Chelsea says.

"Our wish?" Kevin tried to remember, he was still a little slow, but he thought back to what everyone said to them last night, he then had a small smile once he realized what happened before they fell asleep. "We made our whole family disappear..."

Chelsea decided that just this morning they could eat an unhealthy thing for breakfast and made popcorn. Instead of worrying his silly head over nothing and senseless things, Kevin actually felt like it was time to party. Chelsea handed him a bowl of popcorn, smiling softly.

Kevin smiled and took some. "Popcorn for breakfast?" he asked, a bit surprised.

"Just for today, Kev." Chelsea smiled.

Kevin playfully pouted, then ate more popcorn. Chelsea chuckled softly and got a drink for her and Kevin.

"I'll just have juice though, no soda in the morning." Kevin decided to only go by that rule for now.

Chelsea nodded, getting them their favourite juices. She handed Kevin his and grinned.

Kevin ate more of the popcorn and washed it down with the juice. "So, what do we do now?"

"Watch a movie?" Chelsea suggests.

"Can we watch one of those Angel movies?" Kevin asked, though he was often told not to watch them.

"Hmm... Okay... But you turn it straight off if you get scared, okay, Squirt?" Chelsea says softly, ruffling his hair.

"Chelsea, I'm not a little kid, ya know..." Kevin glanced to her with a small chuckle.

"Even I get scared of movies." Chelsea tells him, smiling a little.

"Chels..." Kevin mumbled, rolling his eyes, thinking she was just saying that to make him feel better. He then looked around. "I thought Max was coming today."

"So did I... She probably slept in." Chelsea says quietly.

Kevin frowned. "She seems so cool for a girl... Oh, no offense." he teased slightly then.

Chelsea smirked. "You better put down your popcorn and juice, buddy." she says.

Kevin glanced back at her, he picked up some more popcorn and playfully threw them to her. Chelsea caught each one in her mouth then came over and started to tickle him. Kevin started to laugh, he was a little kid after all and being ticklish was kind of key.

"Apologize~" she laughed.

"Why?" Kevin laughed as he wiggled slightly in the tickle battle.

"Insulting girls!" Chelsea playfully exclaims.

Kevin laughed, finally he was getting to where he couldn't take anymore. "Okay, okay, I give up, I'm sorry!" he gave in, tears in his eyes as he kept laughing. "I'm sorry!"

Chelsea stopped tickling and hugged him, giggling.

Kevin had small hiccups due to laughing so hard and hugged her back. "I said 'no offense'."

"Didn't cut it." Chelsea teased softly, she patted his back to help get rid of the hiccups.

Kevin huffed, he kept hiccuping a bit, but eventually stopped. He then took another drink of juice to finish it off.

Chelsea hugged him gently. "How about we watch that movie then?" she suggests.

"Cool." Kevin agreed, he decided to go look for it, maybe this time he could watch it without it being randomly turned off.

Chelsea smiled and set them up a place on the sofa to watch it in comfort. Kevin stuck his tongue out as he let his fingers slide across the video collection. Chelsea hummed softly.
