19 "The Pilot -1"

(*A/N: Hey, it's your author again, back with a new chapter. Now, that we are so close to the canon timeline there may be some discrepancies because the MC and Haley were born in 1994 instead of 1993 like in the original(don't fact-check), there may be some episodes missing in between, because of the timeline issue or to create a better flow of the story, so bear that in mind while reading from now onwards.

Now, on to the chapter)

*MC POV*

High school basketball is more fun and more competitive. I like that because I get to play more seriously as compared to my middle school days and my popularity is increasing day by day. Some people who have watched me play, sometimes recognize me outside of school and I get the feeling of a professional basketball player.

I, on weekends, go to Venice Beach Park or Angles Gate Park for some one-on-one games, and there as well, I have a lot of following. Due to me playing like Aomine, I didn't have any problem with the players with their streetball style. I sometimes lose, but it is not because of my skill or anything. But my body is not developed like other players there, who are grown up.

My freshman year was filled with joy and excitement. I once again get to play in the national tournament which was in Los Angeles. Our school team almost lost in the final, but the forced "zone" entry by me, helps us win the final in the last minute with a lore shot. Because of that, my shoes which were selling sufficiently for new shoes on the market from a new company became an instant hit and sales shot up through the roof and we have to expand production and supply lines.

But this wasn't my problem, as I have an excellent manager, who does not need instruction at every stage and he took care of it by himself. My popularity also came in the eyes of some big companies, but there was no response from them yet, but I know that day is not far. The company's popularity also increased when most of the upper-level colleges, switched to our company products, due to them being higher quality or a way to recruit me in the future.

The summer vacation begins for the year 2009 and this year will be my sophomore year of high school, I just made vice-captain on the varsity team as well. So things were looking on the up and up. Recently I overheard that Uncle Mitch and Cam went to Vietnam to travel, so I knew that the canon was near.

And today we will have dinner with them, which I knew from the phone call Uncle Cam made last night. So, the canon finally came and I have been waiting for this from the start of this year.

Currently, I am getting ready to go to the office, It is bigger than when we first started. As I was almost ready, a shout from Mom came, from downstairs.

*3rd POV*

Claire: "Kids, breakfast! Kids! Ugh, Phil, would you get them?"

Phil: "(busy on cellphone) Yeah. Just a sec (opens the fridge)"

Nate: "Hey Maa! Dad! Good Morning, How do I look."

Claire: "Good Morning, Honey. You are looking very smart. Where are you going?"

Phil: "(looks up from the phone) Yeah buddy, looking cool! Where are you going?"

Nate: "Didn't I tell you that I will be going to my office today."

Phil: "Yeah, we forgot, Do you need a ride or something?"

Nate: "Nah, Grandpa is going to pick me up later. Don't worry."

(Claire moved towards the fridge, it's door was already open)

Claire: "Kids! (drops container) Okay."

Phil: "That is so… Kids! Get down here!"

Haley: "(enters) Why are you guys yelling at us when we're way upstairs? Just text me."

Nate: "Alright, that's not gonna happen, and wow. (sarcastically)"

Claire: "you're not wearing that outfit."

Haley: "What's wrong with it?"

Claire: "Honey, do you have anything to say to your daughter about her skirt?"

Phil: "(looks up from cellphone) Sorry. Oh yeah, it looks really cute, sweetheart."

Haley: "Thanks."

Claire: "No, it's way too short. People know you're a girl; you don't need to prove it to them."

Nate: "Yes, go change."

Haley: "No, it's cute, and Where are you going this early in the morning?(looking up from her phone)."

Alex: "(enters) Luke got his head stuck in the banister again. (opens the fridge)"

Nate: "Again!, I'll go(started to stand up)."

Phil: "No, I got it. Where's the baby oil? (closes the fridge while walking"

Claire: "It's on our bedside tab- (mutters) I dunno. Find it. (walks into closed Fridge door) Come on!"

(Commentary - Phil, and Claire)

Claire: "I was… out of control growing up. There, you know, I said it. I… I just don't want my kids to make the same bad mistakes that I made. If Haley never wakes up on a beach in Florida half-naked, I've done my job."

Phil: "…Our job."

Claire: "Right. I've done our job."

Phil: "What about the others?"

Claire: "Oh! they will be fine. Nate got them."

(Near the stairs)

Phil: "Buddy, why do you keep getting stuck like this?"

Luke: "I thought I could get out this time."

Nate: "Luke, how many times have I told you, to think for 10 seconds before doing something like this."

Alex: "I'm just gonna say it: he needs to be checked by a specialist."

Nate: "Alex, that's not a cool thing to say to your little brother or I have to say it even to you."

Alex: "Yeah, alright. Sorry, Luke (sarcastically)."

Phil: "(frees Luke from banister) There. Be free, Excalibur."

Haley comes over after eating her breakfast to go upstairs.

Haley: "(looking up from her phone) I'm having a friend over today."

Claire: "Who?"

Haley: "Uh, you don't know him."

Claire: "Him. Him?"

Nate: "Haley! Come downstairs and talk to mom respectfully. Tell us about the boy."

Luke: "Oooh, a boy. You're gonna kiss-"

Nate: "(before Haley could say anything) Luke! (Luke looks towards his feet)"

Haley: "Shut up!"

Phil: "Easy, easy…"

Claire: "Luke, Alex, why don't you take it outside, okay?"

Alex: "And do what?"

Phil: "Fight in the sun; it'll be a nice change. I'm kidding."

Claire: "Haley. Who's the boy?"

Haley: "His name is Dylan. You know, I might as well just tell him not to come because you guys are just going to embarrass me again."

Nate: "It's not about embarrassing you. And everything is not about you."

Claire: "Sweety, hang on a second. You're almost 15 and it's the first time you've had a boy over. I mean, we're bound to be a little surprised, but… not gonna embarrass you."

Phil: "I better go charge the camcorder. Come on Nate, Help me with the lighting. (Haley groans; turns around to leave and Nate follows Phil, laughing) I'm kidding! Come on, who're you talking to?"

(Commentary - Phil, and Nate)

Phil: "I'm the cool dad. That's- that's my thang. I'm hip, I surf the web, and I text. LOL: laugh out loud, OMG: oh my god, WTF: why the face?

Nate: "(looks into the camera and back at Phil) That is not the right ."

Phil: "Okay, but Um, you know, I know all the dances to High School Musical, so…"

(Cut to Phil performing High School Musical for his kids)

Phil: "(singing) We're all in this together. Yes, we are, we're all stars, something someth- and you know it."

(Cut to commentary)

Nate: "(looks embarrassed) Yeah, yeah! it was a very good performance."

Phil: "Right"

(Cut back to inside the living room)

(Alex came from outside holding her arm in another)

Alex: "Mom! Dad!"

Claire: "What happened?"

Alex: "Luke just shot me!"

Luke: "I didn't mean to!"

Nate: "Are you okay?"

Alex: "No, the little bitch shot me!"

Phil & Nate: (laughs)

Claire: "Language!"

Luke: "They're only plastic BBs. It was an accident."

Nate: "Luke! Again, it's like you don't even listen to what I say."

Claire: "(looks at Phil) What did I tell you would happen if you got him a gun? Deal with this."

Phil: "Buddy, uncool."

Claire: "…That's it? That- no, no, no, no, no. The agreement was that if he shoots someone, you shoot him."

Phil: "We were serious about that?"

Claire: "Yes we were, and now you have to follow through."

Luke: "(starts crying) I'm so sorry!"

Nate & Claire: (together) "Liar."

Luke: "(stops)"

Claire: "(again looking at Phil) Go."

Phil: "He's got a birthday party."

Alex: "What's more important here, dad?"

Nate: "Alex, don't enjoy this, Luke is getting punished, you don't have to exaggerate."

Claire: "You can shoot him afterward. He'll be home at two."

Phil: "I can't shoot him at two; I'm showing a house at two."

Alex: "What about three?"

Nate: "Alex!"

Claire: "No, he's got a soccer game at three, and then oh, we've gotta leave for that dinner thing at five. (checks calendar) Four fifteen. You could shoot him at four fifteen."

Phil: "Yeah, I guess that works for me."

Luke: "Aw…"

Claire: "(fills in the calendar) "Shoot Luke."

Phil: "Sorry, buddy. It's on the calendar."

Luke: "Oh, come on."

Nate: "Shake it off, champ!"
