Welcome to another story by Me, Eddie Segoura. Having friends over Your house is usually a good thing. But when it comes to ruining Your plans for the day, It really gets annoying. In this story, I was planning to hang out at the mall, but Hector Correro somehow gets a ticket to Deal, New Jersey, courtesy of My Mother. Unfortuatley, it ruins My plans, but we find some other things to do... BE OUR GUEST It was another Thursday afternoon at 5:30 P.M. My week was finally over. I hopped aboard the subway train headed for Manhattan. From their, I went to Penn Station where I brought tickets to the train on its way to Long Branch. The only times I get to meet My parents are in the Summer. Years ago, My Grandmother purchased a house in Deal, New Jersey along the Jersey Shore. During the Winter, My Parents, along with My Sisters, stay in Georgia. They enjoy it their a lot and recently, I gave My old Computer to My sister so She can E-mail Me using America Online. During the week, though, I spend time at work, or with Billy. Sometimes I visit My new friends the Ghostwriter Team. GW decided to join Me and Billy a while ago. Ghostwriter is a Ghost who once appeared to Jamal by writing messages a long time ago. He doesn't remember who He is. So Jamal named Him Ghostwriter. I enjoy going to Deal, despite the fact that I can't use AOL (AOL is short for America Online) their. I find other things to do such as go to the beach, or the mall, anything to get Myself busy. That Thursday night was a normal night for Me. I usually go up to the room I sleep in, settle down, have somthing to eat, find somthing on TV, and finally, go to sleep. That night, My Mother told Me she would visit My aunt the next day. She promised us that night that Shw would take us to see a movie at the Sony Theatres that we would agree on Theirfore, She told Me that She would be leaving early tomorrow morning. That morning, I woke up at 10:00 A.M. I went down to have breakfast and watched some TV. I usually like to watch Price Is Right before I leave so I did. (I love that show so much I watch it whenever I have the chance.) At about 11:50 A.M, when the show was almost over, I heard My Mother's car stop by the front of the house. My sister came up and said, "Hey, Eddie, someone named Hector Correro is here to see You." "Really, where?" I asked Her. "Just kidding." She Laughed. But I found out She *wasn't* kidding after all. I heard Hector's voice outside. I looked outside and I did see Him coming in toward the house. This has to a dream, I thought as I rubbed My eyes. But it wasn't. I was thinking of hiding, but I changed My Mind and zoomed downstairs as Hector called My Name. "Eddie? Where are You?" He called out. "Hector, what are You doing here?" I asked Him firmly. "I was at You aunt's house and was playing Handball with Your cousin Bobby. I asked Your Mom if I could stay with You for the weekend." Said Hector. "Well, You can, but..." "Eddie, can You watch Him for Me?" Asked My Mother. "But Ma --" "No Buts, You stay here and watch Hector. The maid is off today." She insisted. "Okay, I will." I said disappointedly. "Eddie?" Asked Hector. "What?" "What's wrong?" "I really wanted to go to the mall, but now I'm stuck with You." "So, we'll do somthing together." "Stay here, I have to go get somthing from upstairs." "Okay." I went upstairs and watched through the window as My mother left with both My sisters in Her car. I tryed to stay upstairs in the room I sleep in alone. I took out one of My book and read them, but Hector eventaully came upstairs to find Me. "You know, Rugrats is on, let's go watch that downstairs." I said. "Okay." Said Hector. We watched the show and afterwards some more TV, but we got board of it. We tried playing some games on the Super NES, played Handball together, read MooseGump and MMPG books, but still we got board. So, I had a good idea: why not pretend that Kaptain K. Rool has kidnapped Jamal and we go rescue Him. "That's a good idea. I'll be Diddy Kong." Said Hector. I was surprised that He knew about Donkey Kong Country. I asked Him, "How do You know about Donkey Kong Country?" "I got a Super NES last Christmas." Said Hector. "That's good." I pretended to be Donkey Kong, and Hector was Diddy Kong. (Well, we could have a Dixie Kong if Gaby was around.) We had a lot of fun. I pretended to ride on the roller coaster. Hector pretended to be Rambi. It was a lot of fun and before we knew it, it was 5:00 P.M. I couldn't wait for My Mother to get back home. She promised all of us to take us out and then to the Sony Theatres to see a movie we would agree on. After we had enough of pretending, we turned on the TV and watched Bill Nye. Finally, My mother was home, but She wasn't ready to go yet. She still had to put My young sister in the shower because She went in the pool. But eventually, we left. We went to eat at the Four Seasons resturaunt. Then we went to see Sleepers at the movies. We all enjoyed it, with one extra person -- Hector. That night we had to think of a place for Hector to sleep. I suggested we let Him sleep in the attic. "No way, Eddie. That's too dark." Said Hector. "Sorry." I replied. "Well, He'll have to sleep with You." My Mother Said. "Oh all right." I told Her. I changed My clothes, turned on the fan so I wouldn't get annoyed by Hector snoring or making noise, and laid down. I couldn't sleep, so I turned on the TV. I didn't wake up Hector though. I enjoyed My weekend very much. We went to the beach club next day and though it was hot, Hector was having a jolly time. That day I was free. I went to the beach club by bike. When I spent a few hours at the beach club, I went on the bike and went to the mall. I was too, and before I knew it, the day was over and it was Saturday Night. I decided to stay home with Hector because I was tired and so was He. He went to sleep earlier then I did. I went downstairs to watch a movie. Sunday was My last day in Deal for the week. "So, Hector How was Your weekend?" I asked Him. "I was great. I can't wait to get home and tell the Ghostwriter rest of the team about Deal!" He replied excitedly. "Don't You just hate it when the weeked passes You by? I wonder, how are You going back to Brooklyn?" I asked. "With You, on the train." Said Hector. "On the train?! With Me?! Who is paying for You?" I asked. "Your Mother gave Me the money." Said Hector. Well, we said Goodbye and got on the train headed for Manhattan After getting off the NJ Transit train, We got on the subway and went to Brooklyn. I had to drop Hector to His House and I went back to My House. "Goodbye, Eddie." Hector told Me. "Bye, I'll see You soon." I replied. It costed Me an extra $1.50 because Fort Greene is a 20 minute subway ride from My area. When I got Hom, I tuned on the TV and signed onto AOL to read My E-mail. I got E-mail from Billy and GuideApply (GuideApply is the screen name who chooses applications for those who wish to contribute their time for AOL as a Guide. I sent an application so the He can choose Me for that.) I has another interview with GuideApply to attend to. I wrote to Billy, "You'll never guess Who came to Deal this weekend! It was Hector Correro. He came courtesy of My Mom who was visiting My aunt in Brooklyn. You Know, My aunt Charisse where we sometimes go the eat dinner. :-)" Well, that ends another story as My week begins... THE END.
