Home Alone Fan Fiction Remake

chapter 5

Chelsea bit her lip but made sure Kevin had plenty of warm layers that would also add as padding. There was something he had wanted to do for a few years, but had never been able to. Kevin was attempting to shave himself and act like a sophisticated gentleman in his speech as he applied cream. However, it was a little too much and it made him slap his hands to his cheeks and scream from the stinging pain.

Chelsea heard his scream and came running. "Oh, sweetheart." she sighs softly, relieved he wasn't being murdered or something. She then came over to him and helped sort him out so he no longer hurt due to the aftershave.

"It burns..." Kevin whimpered slightly.

Chelsea got some soothing cream that would stop the burning. Kevin whined, but he looked around, he felt a disturbance of some kind.

Soon the cream was put on his cheeks and it worked. "Kevin, you go find something to play with, I'll need to go and check something." Chelsea says softly, kissing his forehead.

"Okay." Kevin said once he felt better.

Chelsea smiled and headed outside a moment to take a look. She noticed the van in the Murphys' driveway. "I thought the Murphys went to Florida..." she frowned softly.

"Who wants to go to Florida for Christmas anyway?" Kevin scoffed.

"Not me," Chelsea says then blinked. "I thought you were getting something to play with, Squirt." she tells him, the nickname friendly though.

Kevin stuck out his tongue, he then went back to what he was doing. He scampered into Buzz's room and decided to see if there was maybe something in there. Finding an old box, he looked through it, seeing a very disturbing girl in a framed photograph, then saw adult magazines and looked up as there was a jar of many dollars up on a high shelf. He decided to climb up it, unable to ignore his childish greed.

Chelsea chuckled and went to the van window and glanced in. That wasn't the Murphys' van. 'It could be someone doing work on the house...' she thinks.

There were a couple of men in the van, they seemed to be talking about something. Kevin kept climbing up the shelf, but yelped slightly as the shelf dismantled itself and fell down with him, but he got the money. Chelsea blinked and ducked down, hoping she hadn't been noticed looking into the house where the two were messing about in. Kevin put the money in his pocket and kept looking around for something to play with. Chelsea started to sneak back towards her and Kevin's house.

"Who was that?" one of the men muttered.

"I don't know... Go look..." Harry says. "You know you're one of the great cat burglars, Marv. You think you can keep it down a little in there? Huh?" He then says.

Chelsea continued to sneak away.

"Aye-Aye..." the taller man agreed to his 'best pal'. He swiftly got out from the van and tried to seem casual and quiet so this 'little girl' wouldn't feel distressed.

Chelsea stiffened. Crud, one of them saw her, she couldn't go home just yet. Marv kept coming for Chelsea, being careful not to slip and fall into the snow. Chelsea turned to look at Marv, crossing her arms nervously.

"Good afternoon, Miss." Marv greeted, trying to sound as friendly as a kindly neighbor man, but obviously wouldn't fool anyone.

"You shouldn't be there." Chelsea says.

"Oh, we're just bringing in their mail and helpin' take care of things..." Marv lied smoothly. "Maybe if you go on vacation, we'll do the same for your home, huh?"

Chelsea shook her head. She frowned at him. "I don't believe you." she says.

"Why not?" Marv narrowed his eyes at her slightly.

"Because the Murphy's have everything sorted before they leave." Chelsea says.

"What if they forgot somethin'?" Marv then asked.

"They never have before." Chelsea says back, her tone a little sassy.

"Well, aren't you a little so sure?" Marv retorted, trying to level up to her sassiness, kids these days.

"I just know the Murphys well." She tells him.

Mar gave her a glare. "Well, you better keep warm... It gets cold around this time of year..." he kept his distance and just decided to meet his partner back in the van.

"Yeah, return to your van and get outta here!" Chelsea can't help but retort.

Marv gave a glare right back at her, looking serious and a bit frightening. Chelsea stuck her tongue out at him. Marv made a face back, seeming to had sense that somehow, he nearly slipped in the ice and the snow, but carefully caught himself as he continued to walk away. Chelsea giggled and then started to walk away too.

Kevin was playing with an Etch-A-Sketch on the couch. As soon as she was sure he couldn't see her, she dashed into the house. Marv had gone back to the van with his partner who looked awfully familiar. Kevin kept sketching and looked over as Chelsea seemed to be in a rush. Chelsea shut the door behind her, a little breathless from her 'mad dash'.

"Chelsea, you alright?" Kevin called to his sister.

"There are strange people around the Murphys' place." Chelsea tells him softly.

"You sure that's not Mitch's dad?" Kevin joked a little.

"They went to Florida, remember?" Chelsea asks, though she smiled slightly, appreciating his effort to try and cheer her up.

"That is weird..." Kevin got a little nervous now, but not too much. "What if they find out we're home alone and try to rob us?"

"We have your brains, Kev, it'll be fine." Chelsea soothes.

"No way we tell them that we're home alone, that's never a good thing to do, whether a magic wish made them go away or not." Kevin said then, sounding very mature for his age.

"We could try tricking them tonight." Chelsea suggests.

Kevin had an evil, yet eager look in his eyes. "You make them think we aren't alone so they don't rob us?"

"Yeah." Chelsea grinned.

"Hmm..." Kevin went deep into thought to make this a perfect attempt to make it appear they weren't home alone. "Before we go and they strike at night though, I think we should do a little grocery shopping. I'll pay." he then took out the money from Buzz's room.

"Where'd you--Never mind." Chelsea chuckled.

Kevin had a smirk. "I just thought we should, we're running out of food, especially just us here."

Chelsea smiled and hugged him. "Let's go then." she smiled.

"Alright, go get your coat." Kevin told her like a responsible adult with a child, then went to do the same himself.

Chelsea chuckled and did so. "Yessir." she says. She got her coat on and her boots.

Kevin made sure to get his hat and scarf as it was a bit too chilly for his personal taste and it would get colder and colder until the allergenic arrival of Spring, courtesy of Mother Nature. Chelsea took him outside once they were all ready and shut and locked the door. Kevin stuffed the money in one deep pocket, he did not hold Chelsea's hand until they would have to cross the street. They went to the supermarket to get food then visited the pharmacy to get Kevin a new toothbrush.

"Who was it?" Harry asks Marv.

"Some little girl..." Marv was unsure of who exactly Chelsea was.

"Hm, well next time; grab her, if she's on to us, it's only safer." Harry says.

Marv nodded. "She looks older than most kids... Must be a teenager."
