Friday : June 2nd, 2000

After a week of being home and doing nothing as of much, the day came for Valerie to leave for her vacation. Over by the Smith's residence, the duo is standing outside the house awaiting for Aidan and his family to come pick her up.

"Are you sure I can't come with you?" Debbie Said, as Valerie chuckled.

"Yes I'm sure but you know Debbie if I could, I would drag you along with me." Valerie Said

"I know." Debbie Said

"So while I'm gone what are you gonna do?" Valerie Asked

"Probably Look for a job my parents said working during the summer is good. It keeps you occupied, plus money in my pockets right." Debbie Said

"That is true, so how long's the flight from here to Tahoe?" Debbie Asked

"Six hours." Valerie replied

"Oh that's not too bad." Debbie Said

"Yeah but I plan on sleeping throughout the whole thing, and if I can't sleep that's why I brought my favorite book to reread on the plane." Valerie Said, holding up a novel.

"Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban." Debbie Said

"Yes oh you know I'm a potter head Debs." Valerie Said

"Oh I know remember when the first book got published, you couldn't stop reading it." Debbie Said

"I can't help it the books are so great, hey you know that they might be making a movie adaptation of the books?" Valerie Said

"Wait really?" Debbie Said

"Mhm should be hitting theaters next year can't wait!" Valerie Said, smiling.

"You're such a dork." Debbie smiled

"But you love you me." Valerie Said

"I do." Debbie nodded

They looked down the street as they saw a grey van approaching the house, the back window rolled down and Aidan waved his hand.

"Let's get this trip started Whoo!" Aidan Said

"You see what I have to deal with for a week." Valerie Said

"Mhm good luck, and have fun okay." Debbie Said, as she went to hug her.

"I will." She kisses her cheek, "I'll call you when I get the chance okay, bye." Valerie Said, before walking off.

"Bye." Debbie Said

Valerie approached the car which opened up, Aidan stepped out and helped her with her suitcase. He and Valerie looked back at Debbie, waved goodbye to her as she waved back. She watched as the van pulled off, and sighed.

About an hour later Debbie meets up with Jim, Paul and Chris over at Dog Years. Once they arrive at the restaurant, they notice it's closed.

"Shit." Jim groaned out, as they all sat down on the curb.

"Relax Jim, you can eat hot dogs tomorrow." Paul Said

"No, Finch, it's not the hot dogs, guys Nadia called me this morning." Jim Said

"She did, what did she want?" Debbie Asked

"Oh that she's coming here at the end of the summer and she wants to see me." Jim Replied

"That's killer." Chris Said

"Yeah, that's a good thing." Paul Said

"No, not ''good thing.'' Not ''killer.'' I'll never be able to do it. Nadia is gonna be expecting filet mignon.
Okay, and all I'm gonna be able to give her..is rump roast." Jim Said, as they all laughed.

"Come on. Jim, you've had experience since Nadia." Chris Said

"Ah, yes, you would be referring to...the flute-fetish band geek that made me her bitch, then ditched me after prom. Yes, that's great experience." Jim Said

"You just gotta find the right girl, Jim it brings it all together." Debbie Said, patting his shoulder.

Paul spoke up, "I had the right woman, she just sells her cottage and takes off to parts unknown. My romantic life has passed its peak, take me out to the pasture and shoot me."

"Dramatic much, Paul." Debbie Said, chuckling.

"Super start to a super summer, fellas. Welcome home." Chris Said

Kevin is walking down the sidewalk he turns the corner, and spots his friends sitting on the curb.

"Guys, I got it. Pack your bags." Kevin Said, as they all turned to him.

"For what?" Chris Asked

"We're moving to the lake." Kevin Said

"Lake? As in a lake house?" Paul Questioned

"Yep remember the night of Stifler's party, well after the cops crashed it and we all went home I called my brother. And he told me about the time he and his friends rented a lake house for a summer." Kevin Said

"So that's what you've been busy doing these past few days, looking for a lake house?" Jim Said

"Mhm and I found one," Kevin Said, then holds up a picture of the lake house, showing it to them.

"Woah." They all said

"Now that house is beautiful." Debbie Said, as the boys nodded.

"So what do you say, you guys in or what?" Kevin Asked

Jim, Debbie, Chris and Paul all shared looks with each other and nodded.

"Hell yeah." They all said in unison

"Alright." Kevin Said, smiling.

Later on that day Debbie arrived back at home, where it was filled with Sam's friends. Since tonight is his last night at home before he leaves, Carla and Peter decided to give him a going away dinner.

In the backyard Sam along with Arabella's four year old son Tyler, and his friends are busy playing while most of the adults are talking amongst themselves. Debbie walks into the kitchen where Carla, Peter and Arabella are talking.

"Hey, Arabella and oh there are my lovely parents who I love so much." Debbie Said, smiling.

"Hey, Debs." Peter Said

"Everything okay?" Carla Asked

"Oh everything's great just enjoying the party." Debbie Said

"Uh huh, what is it?" Carla Said

"What?" Debbie Said

"You only call us your "lovely" parents when you want something." Carla Said

"That's not true," Carla gave her a look, "Okay it's true." Debbie admitted

"What is it Debbie?" Carla Asked

"Okay so you know my friend Kevin, well he came up with an amazing idea. He thought that it would be cool that all of us should rent a lake house for the summer at grand harbour." Debbie explained

"Grand Harbour as in the lake?" Peter Said

"Yeah so can I go?" Debbie Asked

"Oh, I don't think so Debs." Peter shook his head

"What? Come on Dad." Debbie Said

"I don't think I'm comfortable with you staying at a house with four boys." Peter Said

"Pfft come on it's not like you don't know them." Debbie Said

"Yes I know all of them and they are nice boys, but-" Peter Said

"But what I've known Jim, Chris, Kevin and Paul literally for years and they're like brothers to me." Debbie pointed out

"Debbie." Peter Said

"This is so unfair you guys will let Kelly spend a summer at St. Joesph's with her friends, but I can't spend a summer at the lake with mines that's so unfair." Debbie Said

"Look I'm just saying—" Peter Said

"Woah, Woah Peter she's got a point." Arabella spoke up

"What?" Peter Said

"Look Debbie's a big girl she's 18 years old and mature, I'm sure she can handle herself." Arabella Said

"Thank you Arabella." Debbie Said

"She has proven to us that she can handle being away by herself." Carla Said, looking to Peter.

"Come on Peter." Arabella Said

"Please Dad all my friends are going, I don't want to be stuck in this house bored anymore." Debbie Said

She gave her father a pleading look, Peter caved in and sighed.

"Okay, okay we'll let you go, but you have to call us to check in once a week." Peter Said

"Yes!" She runs over to them and hugged them, "Thank you guys so much, oh my god I'm going to Grand Harbour Whoo! I have to start packing." Debbie Exclaimed, as she ran upstairs towards her bedroom.

Saturday: June 3rd, 2000

The next day came and it was finally time to head and leave town, Debbie of course said goodbye to her family first and promised she'd agree to their once a week call check in.

Over by Jim's house where everyone is leaving off at, near Chris's truck he, Jim and Kevin are packing all of their stuff into the back of his truck. While Paul is busy reading something.

"We're gonna be the shit everybody on the beach is gonna know us." Kevin Said

"Plenty of opportunities to practice for Nadia." Jim added

"We can throw a huge party at the end of the summer to cap it all off." Kevin Said

"Dude, that's a great idea. That way we'll be able to welcome Heather back..and we'll be able to prepare for Nadia's big arrival." Chris chimed in

"This is it. This is my summer of love." Jim hoped

Behind them out came Jim's father Noah, he approached the group of teens.

"Just thought I'd say goodbye to you animals." Noah Said

"Hey, Mr Levenstein. How are you, sir?" Chris Said

"Hey." Kevin and Paul Said

"All packed up, I see." Noah Said

"Yeah we're all set, Dad. Just waiting for Debbie to arrive." Jim Said

"Did her parents agree to her coming or-" Chris Said

The sound of an engine revving is heard, as they looked as a white Jeep is seen driving down the street. Debbie who's in the drivers seat, parks the car behind the truck and gets out.

"Hello Boys." Debbie greeted, smiling.

"I guess that answers your question Oz." Kevin Said

"So your parents are letting you come after all." Jim Said

"Yep as long as I call them once a week, then I'm good. Oh hey there Mr. Levenstein." Debbie Said, waving to Noah.

"Hello there Debbie, okay uh listen Jim." Noah Said

"Don't worry, okay? I'll be fine." Jim assured

"Come on and give your old man a hug." Noah Said

"No that's okay." Jim Said

"Jim go and give your dad a hug." Debbie Said, shoving the boy.

Jim walked over to his Dad and gave him a quick hug, but Noah pulled him back to embrace his son.
Debbie and the boys looked on smiling, Jim pulled away and nodded to his dad.

"Keep it real, homies." Noah Said

"You too, sir. Have a good summer." Chris Said

"All right, let's go." Jim Said

"Hey guys I've been running these numbers here...
and I don't think the five of us can afford this place." Paul Said

"Really?" Jim Said

"Yeah not on summer jobs." Paul Said

"Well, I kinda thought of that. So, I invited someone else..." Kevin Said, as they all looked to him.

"Kevin please tell me you didn't?" Debbie Questioned, as she gave him a knowing look.
