Home Alone Fan Fiction Remake

chapter 9

Max was looking around while Kate was trying to arrange for a flight, but the news given to them was anything but good.

"Everything's full." They were then told.

"But we have to get there... My son and daughter need us." she tries.

"I'm very sorry, but it is Christmas Eve..." the man reminded them.

"You have to let us go, please!" Max tried to help. "Maybe there's another airline we could go on?"

"Nothing avaliable," the man shook his head, then had an idea for them. "May I help you get a hotel room? Tomorrow we can get you a flight?"

A rather chunky man wearing a hornet yellow jacket with waved sandy hair looked to the two women and saw they could use some help.

"No, we need to be there before Christmas." Kate says, frustrated.

"I'm sorry, you two, but we're doing absolutely everything we can..." the man sounded apologetic.

Max now yawned and looked a bit miserable. "We've been through heck and back, can you just give us a break?" she nearly sounded like she was begging. "We've been awake for 60 hours, we're tired, dirty, and a little bit hungry..." she then patted her stomach which looked rather flat now. "But we've been to Paris, and Dallas, and.... And..." she looked around. "Umm..."

"Scranton." the man told her where they were now.

"Scranton," Max said then. "And we need to go home to my best friend and her little brother!" she then gestured to Kate. "Her children!" she then added for emphasis.

Kate nodded.

"I'm sorry..." the man still told them.

"No, you can't do this to us!" Max sounded weak.

Kate looked crestfallen, she headed to go sit down.

Max frowned, she talked with the man some more. "Can't you do anything?"

"I can give you a hotel room, take it or leave it..." the man informed.

Max sighed and felt just as defeated, it was Christmas Eve now and Kevin and Chelsea were going to be alone for the holidays, what a drag.

"Excuse me..." the other man came to the two in distress and seemed to have friends. "You got a little bit of a dilemma. We got a crisis ourselves. Allow me to introduce myself... Gus Polinski."

Kate looked up at him, not meaning to be rude, but was so stressed out. "Who?" She asks, but not too roughly.

"Polka King of the Midwest?" Gus prompted, making it seem like he was a big time celebrity. "The Kenosha Knockers?"

Max smiled apologetically. "Sorry, we don't know you, sir..."

"Oh, well, I had a few hits a few years ago..." Gus explained, then told them about some of his songs which were mostly Polka based.

"Chicago?" Kate asks, her voice softer.

"No, Sheboygan," Gus replied apologetically. "Very big in Sheboygan."

Max was hesitant to ask since this man seemed to spout out nonsensical things about his career, but she decided to anyway, it couldn't hurt to. "Can you help us?" she finally asked. "We need to get to Chicago as soon as possible..."

"Our flight was canceled, so we're gonna drive," Gus explained. "See the guy in the yellow jacket over there? He's gonna rent us a nice big van to drive to Milwaukee. Now, I heard you had some problems getting to Chicago? To see your friends or something?"
