Home Alone: Harry's Revenge

chapter 1

A single snowflake fell gracefully past a window. In that window a young woman with long blonde hair and warm eyes sat watching the weather. She heard her mother shouting her, and so she went down. She was wearing a pair of leggings and a white jumper dress.

Kate McCallister stood at the bottom of the stairs calling for her eldest child. She knew that Marv would be coming soon. Though she hadn't liked the man much to begin with she soon found that he was a funny man, and actually rather friendly.

The youngest member of the family, of course, Kevin looked out the window. He was playing with an old remote control car he got for Christmas a couple of years ago and played around with it to harass the neighbors. It was his little kid motivation, but he wouldn't hurt anybody on purpose.

As the young woman passed her brother's room, she popped her head and smiled. "Saw the first snowflake, Kev?" she asked him.

Kevin turned back and smiled at her. "Yeah, I love snow... It's how I know Christmas is coming soon, I wish I didn't have to school though... It feels like school this year is dragging on forever..."

"Well, just think it'll be over soon and you'll have a full while to have break," the girl told him. She then had to go downstairs as her mother shouted for her again.

"Yeah..." Kevin nodded with a smile. He then coughed a little, then went back to focus on something instead of his homework. "Excuse me."

Chelsea looked worried. "Kev, come down if that cough gets any worse." she told him.

Kate chuckled slightly. She had the ring that her grandmother had, for Marv to propose when he wanted. She had seen how they were in love.

"Wow, that is so precious..." Peter looked at the ring, passing by.

Kate nodded to her husband with a smile and then shouted for the girl again. "Chelsea!"

Chelsea heard her mother calling for her and slid down the banister and landed securely on her feet on the floor.

Kate rolled her eyes, putting the ring hidden until Marv got there.

Suddenly, a neighbor woman screamed.

Both Kate and Chelsea looked at the door as the neighbor screamed.

Meanwhile, there was a car riding up to the house to come visit as well. In the car, a man looked at the person in the car with him. He gave her a smile. "So, this is your old stomping ground, Max?"

Max looked back at him with a smile. "Yeah, I grew up here with Chelsea, Lex," she explained. "We've been friends for what feels like forever."

"This is a nice place." Lex grinned.

"I feel like I haven't been to this house and neighborhood in years..." Max whispered, astounded. She then twinged as she heard the neighbor screaming. "Oh, my..." she murmured.

Lex looked at her. "Stop the car," he told her. "I'll go ahead and check it out." He said this before doing so once they stopped.

The woman screamed and stormed over to the McCallister house, obviously not happy.

"Oh, boy..." Kevin mumbled, ducking down.

Max stopped the car and flattened her hair down a little, allowing Lex to get out. "Be careful."

Chelsea looked strangely at her mom and then opened the door and looked out of the door. Kate followed her daughter, pocketing the ring, and looked over her head. Peter followed and saw the elderly neighbor woman in distress.

Lex got out and went up to the neighbor. "Ma'am, what happened? Please calm down." he tried his hand at calming her down before anyone else would show up.
