25: Harvey in Cuba

Harvey was able to convince his brother, LJ to go to Cuba with him, the younger boy still wasn't very happy about Harvey's sudden act of rebellion for no reason whatsoever. How they were going to get aboard a plane and fly down to a foreign country they have never been to plus without no adult supervision was a mystery to the both of them.

"So how are we planning on going to Cuba?" Wondered Harvey

"We can fly down, but Dad has Air Force One, but I think there's another plane we could use,"

"Yeah, but how exactly are we going to get there? Yes, we've got a plane but neither of us have flight experience so how's that going to pan out, Harv?" Asked LJ who was just as confounded as his brother

"Yeah, that's annoying but, I remember John rattling on about planes and stuff, since apparently he wants to be a pilot,"

"No, don't drag him into it as well!"

"Ugh, fine," Harvey says with a sigh

"So, when are we going to get to the second presidential plane?" Harvey Asks which LJ then replies with:

"Harv, you've got to remember Dad's not president anymore and we'll be moving next week,"

"Damn, I forgot. So, I take it this would be his last meeting with his little buddy, Fidel?"

"Yeah, I think so,". They somehow managed to fly down to Cuba to gatecrash Jack's meeting with Castro, LJ was still feeling apprehensive about the trip. After the boys' trip to Cuba, they both got grounded for a week (quite rightly so) and didn't get access to their instruments either. Upon hearing of the news that they would not have access to their adored instruments, LJ accepted it after a few... no, many tears were shed, whereas his brother (because of his condition) had a full blown meltdown resulting in having to be restrained in order to prevent anyone being attacked in an act of blind rage, this lasted for about an hour but after it Harvey was back to being 'normal' as 'normal' as he could be. With the pressure of Jack's presidency ending, and to add to that Harvey and LJ deciding to go to Cuba, 'just because' is already too much to handle, hasn't he already got a lot of other things to be dealing with? Instead of having to deal with a unruly 8 year old (nearly 9 year old) and 5 year old.
