Toby:

"Boys!!!" My mom yelled from downstairs, in the kitchen.

I stomp down the stairs two at a time, then I hear Connor and Riley in the living room fighting over something.

"ENOUGH!!! You two come, sit." She says, as she sets the food on the table for lunch.

They sigh and come to their seats at the dinner table.

"Ok, boys, do you remember the Lockings?" My dad asks.

I raise an eyebrow and try to remember, but I can't.

"Nope," I say.

Connor goes,"Yeah, isn't that Luke's last name?"

"Yes, well anyways-" mom says, but I cut in.

"Who are they? Have I ever met them?" I couldn't resist myself.

"No, but Connor and Riley have, when they were wee-little," Mom says.

I nod my head, but I wander where she's getting at?

"Okay, anyways," Dad continues,"They moved to Michigan and Wendy, the boys' mother, asked of they could come down here and stay a little while, and we, reluctantly said yes. So, we're,getting at is, be have yourselves, they're come later tonight, okay?"

"Yes! I get to see my best bud from grade school!!!" Connor yells.

Ok, then?

"I think I remember them, wasn't one named, Seth?" Riley asks, like he was really concentrating.

"Yes, now eat up!" Dad says.

I feel so left out, I wonder if there's a kid my age?

I don't know and go back to eating my sandwich and hot, spicy Cheetos.

After lunch I go back to room, apparently we all have to clean our rooms before we go pick them up at the airport.

I finish cleaning my room and go downstairs, where everyone else is, in the exception of Mom and Dad, getting ready for one more band practice.

Thomas comes up to us and says,"You guys look like your off, what's up?"

Connor speaks up,"You remember Lil' Luke?"

What? Hahaha! Oh my God, Lil' Luke?

"Umm, Luke, as in the dude that lived around the corner from us when we were younger?" Thomas says.

"Yup!" Riley says, popping the p at the end.

"Ok, what about 'Lil' Luke'?" Thomas continues.

"He's coming back and staying for a bit, along with the others." I say.

"He doesn't know them, does he?" Thomas laughs.

"Nooooo" I say.

"BOYS!!! C'mon, let's go!" Dad yells from at the top of the steps.

"Thomas, if you want to, you can come too." Mom says walking down the steps.

"Thanks, Momma Joan I might take you up on that!" Thomas says.

"No problem sweetie, but let's go boys!" She says.

We all go up the steps and pile into the van.

We are all packed tightly into the van when dad goes," How are we going to fit all of them in here?"

"I can drive the other van!" Connor says.

"Okay, fine, but stay behind us, Thomas can you go with him?" Mom says.
