Zora POV

Carlton and I were sitting in the kitchen doing our homework when Will walked in carrying suitcases

I was staying the weekend at the Banks House. My grandfather was going with Geoffrey to his Butler Convention which sounds boring I don't know why he'll wanna do that

"Will, it's nice of you to help Mr. and Mrs. Banks with their bags." I told him

"Oh, yeah, man, you know I mean, they treat me so good here I'll do whatever I can to repay their kindness." Will said as Carlton and I gave him a look of not believing him

"Can't wait for them to leave either, huh?" Carlton asked

"Does Barry White want seconds?" Will asked as Carlton and I got up and walked over to him

"Well, as acting head of the household this weekend I think you'll find me tough, yet fair. Firm, yet kind." Carlton said

"Hey, besides, man, Hilary's the oldest. She's in charge." Will told him

"But not equipped to lead. She's a figurehead. Like Queen Elizabeth. Dan Quayle. Colonel Sanders. Now, I've typed up a few ground rules. I think you should check this out." Carlton told us

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Carlton, come on, man.
You gotta loosen up a little bit, man.
You're too tight, wonder you don't sneeze
and pop your drawers." Will said as I chuckled

"He's right" I told him

"Will, Zora, please, I'm hardly a stranger to life on the edge. I can't count the number of times I've gone swimming right after eating." Carlton said

"Oh my bad boy" I cooed hugging his side as he wrapped his arm around my waist and I kissed his cheek

"I've been through the whole neighborhood
and I haven't sold one box of cookies.
Even Shelley Winters turned me down." Ashley said walking in with Hilary

"Look, what you need is a different sales strategy. Look, here's one that always worked for me.."Mister, I was going to sell you
some cookies.. "but I tripped on your driveway "and I think I broke my ankle.
"Could you please call my daddy? He's a lawyer. He'll know what to do." Hilary said

"That's a pretty smart strategy" I told her nodding when Mrs. Banks walked in

"Okay, Hilary..I'm leaving you $100 for groceries and here's the number where we'll be staying for the legal convention. I can't say
I'm looking forward to it. I can't say it, because it would be a big fat lie." Mrs. Banks said

"Goodbye, everyone. We're off for the weekend." Geoffrey said walking in with my grandfather

"Bye, Geoffrey, Mr. Allen I hope you enjoy
your butlers' convention." Ashley said as they kissed her cheek

"Goodbye, Ms. Ashley." Geoffrey told her

"Goodbye Dear" my grandfather said as I walked up to them and kissed their cheeks

"Bye Geoffrey. Bye Papa." I told them

"Uh, yo, G, G, I always wondered what y'all be doing at them joints. What is it, like reminiscing about Mr. French?" Will asked as he laughed at his own joke

"Actually, we'll be reminiscing about Benson.
It's the Black Butlers' Convention. This year's theme is "Get It Your Own Damn Self." Geoffrey said

"See you all Monday morning." My grandfather said as the both of them left

"Ready for the convention, sweetheart?" Mr. Banks asked walking in
