23 Come Fly with me

(A/N: Back at it again, I just read the "Modern Family" fanfiction today with the Gacha system and I have to say it is a good read. After reading that I got a new energy to write my fic once again and here I am. If you are here and hope you could write your own idea about this show, please do because I love to read those and it helps me sometimes to write as well.

And please read the whole chapter, before calling it garbage in the comments, if you think it is keep it to yourself, and don't comment on it. This is just for fun and for me to pass my time sometimes when I don't have anything to read here on this platform. If you are reading something that's good, drop it in the comments. Now onto the chapter.)

*MC POV*

Some days after that bike incident, things were going on like usual. I was practicing like any other day. I have a date tonight after a long time, as Gigi came back yesterday. I am excited about that and Manny is coming today, because mom asked Gloria to bring him. So, it is time for another episode. Dad's nose is in my hand right now and I have to make a tough decision. That I want to see the nose broken by myself or just let it happen like in the canon. If I want to watch Dad's nose being broken, I can go to Grandpa's, because he also invited me to his home, for the model plane assembly. It is also one of the many things we often do and I also like the time I spend with him.

Let's just nature take its course. as I entered the house from the backyard, I saw dad is sitting on the couch watching a baseball game and mom is staring dagger at him because she asked him to take the garbage bag outside and he is not.

"Hey, mom, what are you doing," I say.

"Nothing Nate honey, just looking at your dad. He is still not taking out the garbage bag even after I told him twice now. I have to take it now myself." she replies.

"No, you stay here, I'll take it. After that, I will go take a shower. I'm all sweaty." I say and took the garbage bag just as dad was about to pick it up and went toward the main door.

"I was gonna take that" I hear from behind me.

As I opened the door, Dylan was right outside. Seeing me he stiffens. He starts shifting in his place because I think I intimidated him the last time we met.

"Hey, Dylan. Did you ring the bell?" I say.

"No, I texted, Hailey said she'll be right outside," he replies.

"Oh, tell her I said, Hi and next time ring the bell so that you don't have to stay outside," I say.

"Will do," he replied.

After I came back from throwing out the garbage in the bin, he was inside and uncomfortably sitting on the couch with my dad.

And Dad was having another uncomfortable conversation with him regarding his relationship with Haley, but he was asking it in a baseball analogy.

It was funny to watch but uncomfortable as well and right about that time, Haley came downstairs. After that, she and Dylan went on their date as well. Seeing them off at the door, I remembered that I have an appointment as well. So I went to get ready for that.

After getting ready in some comfortable yet fashionable clothes, I went downstairs and there was Gloria and Manny downstairs. Mom was yelling at Alex for not wearing a dress and then I came into the kitchen.

"Hey Gloria," I said.

"Hola Nate, how are you? " Gloria said

"I'm fine" I replied.

"Hey Mom, I'm gonna go to Grandpa's," I said looking towards my mother.

"Sure Honey, You can go with your Dad, he is going there as well, and take care of yourself and your Dad," Mom said.

"Okay, but Dad doesn't have that plan half hour ago, What changed?" I said.

"Oh, nothing sweety....., hang on a second, Luke put on your pants, Don't make me come outside. So, yeah it was a last-minute plan, you don't mind, do you?" Mom said.

"I don't, but you know Grandpa, anyways I have to go. Bye Gloria, Bye Manny and you can take my credit card later Alex, you know where is it? yeah. Okay, Bye, everybody." I said

I came outside and Dad was just about to leave. I hopped in his car and we went towards Grandpa's house. And looking at my Dad's face, he was not at all happy about this. He was just doing this to make Mom happy. After some time, we reached Grandpa's house. I rang the bell and Dad was hiding behind me, I don't know why. Grandpa opened the door after a few seconds.

"Hey Grandpa," I said.

"Hey, buddy! Come on in, I have the things ready on the table for our model building and it is a very special piece I imported it from Germany. You are going to love this." Grandpa said.

from behind "Hey Jay, how are you?" Dad said.

And looking at Grandpa's reaction, I was right before, but what can we do now, except build model planes with a nerdy kid in a full-grown man's body?

"So, yeah. Dad came along" I said.

"And brought 6 extra friends," Dad said showing the beer case in his hand.

Seeing no other way, "Yeah come on in Phil," Grandpa said.

Some time into the model building, I was working on the engine and Grandpa was working on its wings. Dad was awkwardly standing at the bar and staring at us and at last Grandpa invited him onto the couch to see from up close. Looking at him, I thought he was behaving exactly like Dylan this morning.

After the model was built, we went flying it on an abandoned airstrip. Grandpa and I often came here for our model testing and for some Grandfather and Grandson bonding. And looking at Dad's face, I think he was thinking the same thing that he could have been me and bonding with Grandpa at those moments.

As we were flying the plane and it was Grandpa's turn because I flew it first. So naturally, it was dad's turn after Grandpa. But he was not getting it because Grandpa was acting like a kid who has the toy and doesn't want to share it and Dad was acting like a kid as well who want to play with that toy. At last, seeing Dad's pitiful condition, Grandpa asked him to take the hula hoop ring at the far end of the runway, so he can do the trick which he always does. He has done it with me, but I was not afraid that he will crash the plane into my head.

As I was watching the plane going towards my Dad from afar, I knew what Grandpa was thinking, but I didn't stop it. Because it was necessary for their further bonding which would not be possible if it weren't for the accident which was about to happen.

And the same thing happened, Grandpa flew the plane into Dad's head and he was almost unconscious. We took him home and the same thing happened when Grandpa had to hug him and Uncle Cam for the first time.

After that, it was time for my date, so I hurriedly went to pick Gigi up. I was meeting her after a very long time and I gave her a big kiss in front of her house where her family may or may not have seen us. But it was fine because I was kissing the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in both my lifetimes.

The date was like any other date we have had till now except she wasn't letting go of my hand the whole time we were together. Seeing this, I knew she must have missed me as well.

The date was fantastic, after I dropped her off at her house, I may have started a make-out session on her porch and she was not letting go of me as well until her mom came outside and we have to separate.

All in all, it was a good day. Dad got some bonding with Grandpa for which he may have to get his nose broken and I get to have a date after a long time. So life is going well and it is going to have a lot more fun in the coming future.

(A/n: So another chapter is done and sorry if it was a little too fast-tracked and too much lovey-dovey at the end. Hope you liked the chapter and give me all your power stones as it keeps me motivated to write and leave a review, but don't be the grammar Nazi in there.)
