"Its the next right isnt it? I thought they..."
"No no no. I remember now. Its just down... here! Ha ha there it is. Told you didnt I?"
"Yeah real impressive dad. But maybe if you made that turn the first time we wouldnt have gotten lost for half an hour."
"Oh is that right Clara? Well i didnt hear you helping out so zip it."
"Hahaha! Yeah Clawa dthip it!"
"Ugh! Your voice is so annoying Jacob. Just shut up."
"Adrianna! Dont tell your brother to shut up!"
"Okay okay! Everyone just relax! Were almost there... just another fifteen minutes to get down this driveway. Jeez."
"Well thats what a portfolio manager and physician salary will get you babe."
"Yeah rub it in why dont you."
"Im just teasing.", Ann leans over and kisses Rick on the lips.
"Ew.", Carla says with a bratty tone.
You (Davey) lean your head on the window, counting the seconds until you could get out of the car. Your family continues driving down the incredibly long driveway, approaching closer to the lakeside mansion that they were to be spending Thanksgiving day and night at. This was a rural neighborhood with thick areas of trees that separated neighbors from each other by close to a mile. Needless to say it wasnt cheap to live here. Your Uncle Maurice worked as a portfolio manager to an incredibly wealthy client and your Aunt Linda made her money as a decorated physician, one of the top in the country. Despite their success, the couple remained humble and good people, managing on top of all that, to raise five children (with the help of nannys). Their daughters, Jessica (25) ,Sarah (19), and Madelyn (17), and their two twin boys, Liam and Luke (6). Who would all be present, adding on to the large amount of extended family members who would also be their, this house would be packed.
The van finally arrives at the house and your dad parks it behind your grandparents 1968 Buick Skylark. A car your Uncle had touched up and given to your grandfather as a birthday present.
"Look at that beauty eh Davey? And to think, Im his brother in law and all ive gotten from him was that van for you little brats.", said Rick.
"Dont be stingy dad."
"Thats easy for you to say. You got an Xbox and a 42 inch plasma screen for your birthday."
"Guess he likes me more than you then.", you joked.
"Yeah you little weasel? Come here."
Your dad grabs you and puts you in a headlock, proceeding to dip his pinkie into your ear and twist.
"Oh god no! Dry willies are so much worse!", you yell.
You break your dads grip and playfully smack his forehead before trotting away, inciting a laugh from your sisters and brother.
"Alright children thats enough.", your mother chimes in. She instructs everyone to form together at the doorway as she rings the doorbell. You could all here the voices and laughter of the guests who made it before you inside. The door opens and your Aunt Linda is there to greet you.
"Hello everyone!", she cheers joyfully.
You all say hello and proceed inside. Your dad is the first to enter, giving Linda a kiss on the cheek and her returning the courtesy. She then receives a hug from your mother (her sister) and the two immediately start conversing like long lost best friends, with your Aunt almost forgetting to hug the rest of you. You had no time to notice though, as a small army of family members started crowding around your family with greetings, hugs, kisses, handshakes, the whole package. Thankfully, your best friends out of all your cousins Scott, Nathan and Dawson came to whisk you away from the horde and take you to the basement to play some floor hockey and Xbox. You all enter the basement and see that Jacob ad somehow managed to make it down there before you and was playing with toy light sabers with Luke and Liam in the basement living room. You avoid them and follow your cool cousins into the room with the makeshift hockey rink. Your Uncle Maurice had laid down tiles that acted as ice when they were all connected and built rink walls around it, creating a small, but amazing hockey rink. Since none of you brought any skates, you all just put on some big socks and used them to glide around and play.
After a few minutes of play, your sister Clara and cousin Madelyn came down to watch and tease.
Dawson tried to deke you out at one point, but ended up falling on his ass.
"Ohhhh nice one Dawson!", Madelyn laughed.
"Shut up Maddie! You`re more than welcome to come out here and show us what you got!", Dawson snapped back.
"You dont need to be embarrassed more than you already are!", Clara mocked.
This annoyed you enough to grab a stray tennis ball and huck it at your sister, pegging her right on the side of her head.
"Ow you jerk!"
"Just get lost."
The girls giggle as they walk out the room and Dawson flips them the bird behind their backs.
"Uh.. so you guys?",Nathan says lightly. "So im like, a distant enough cousin that like... it wouldnt be weird if i had a crush on Maddie right?"
You all look straight at him.
"Ew! No! Thats always weird dude!", Dawson said.
"Well now hold on. Lets be honest here fellas. Im not saying any of us would make a move but you gotta admit, she, Jess and Sarah are definitely not ugly people.", said Scott. "Hell, even Aunt Linda is a bombshell. And Davey, your mom and sisters are..."
"Alright enough!", you interrupted.
You couldnt deny what he said was true, and you knew he was just busting your balls... but still.
"Look can we drop this conversation and just play some hockey?", you begged.
The game goes on for another twenty minutes, but you all eventually decide to jump on over to the Xbox and play some zombies.
You have fun playing with them when...
