Zora POV

My grandfather and I were at the Banks House as we were sitting in the kitchen playing Monopoly

It was Will's turn as he was shaking the dice over his head

"Got to shake 'em, not tryin' to break 'em.
L

et's go. Looking fo' little jo. Everybody screams when deuce deuce hits the flo'." Will said as Carlton moved his piece

"There. Right where you belong, in jail." Carlton told him

"Hey, Zee, can I borrow some money for protection while I'm in the slammer? I am kind of cute, you know?" Will pleaded me with puppy dog eyes

"Sorry, babe. The rent just went up." I said counting my money

"And I am moving on up to park place. My turn." I said as I grabbed the die

"Lookin' fo' little jo! Mama's gonna buy a new Gucci bag from the. sto'!" I said

"We're home, everybody." Hilary said as she walked in with her new boyfriend Eric

Uh, good evening, Mrs. Banks, Mr. Banks, Mr. Allen. Uh, how wonderful it is to see the whole family spending time together. I thought that only happened on "The Cosby Show." Eric said as I nodded

"Well, Eric, son, you're back early." Mr. Banks said

"Oh, well, you know me, sir. I wouldn't want to, uh violate your curfew." Eric said

"It ain't his curfew he worried about you violatin'" Will said

"Hey, you must be Carlton. Wow, your father really speaks highly of all of you at the law firm." Eric said to Will

"No, no, no, my man. I'm Will." He said shaking his hand

"Who?" He asked

"So, then, Eric, did you two have a nice time at dinner?" Mrs. Banks asked

"Oh, yes, ma'am.  The restaurant Mr. Banks recommended was excellent. The view was magnificent and, of course, it was only enhanced by your beautiful daughter." He told her as Hilary giggled

"Oh, and I can definitely see where she gets her looks from." He said as Mrs. Banks giggled

"He is smooth" I whispered to Will and Carlton

"Man, see, I thought you sucked up.
You're just a dust buster compared to that dude." Will told Carlton

"Oh, yeah? When I'm his age, I'll be twice the suck-up." Carlton said

"Follow your dreams honey" I said

"Eric, I don't know what it is but you look a little different this evening." My grandfather told him

"I made him take off those tired glasses." Hilary said

"Well, she thinks I look like Blair Underwood without them." Eric said

"Obviously, Hilary the one that need the glasses." Will said

"Um, I brought a video home. Would anybody care to watch?" Mr. Banks said

"Great, dad. I hope it's a James Bond film." Carlton said

"Close. It's Banks. Philip Banks. When I won the Markus vs. State of California case." Mr. Banks said

"Um, honey, uh, I-I'm sorry, but I'd love to watch but I have to, uh, balance my checkbook." Mrs. Banks said leaving

"Uh, not without your banker." Ashley said following behind her

"I would love to but my cat is stuck in a tree" my grandfather said leaving

"I'd watch it with you, but...I don't want to." Hilary told him

"Well, I guess that just leaves you and me, Mr. Banks. Now, from what I studied about the case in law school you were brilliant." Eric said

"Yeah. I was quite a litigator in those days.
Now it's a rare thing." Mr. Banks said as he and Eric left but Eric kissed her cheek as I smiled at them

"So, uh, Hilary has Eric shown you his legal briefs?" Will asked

"I don't like that guy. He's a pompous
preppie suck-up. He reminds me of someone." Carlton said

'I happen to like him. He knows how to treat
a woman with respect." Hilary said

"Yeah, that reminds me, I need a back seat for my date tomorrow night. Which means I'm gonna need the car. So give me the keys." Will said

"Tough luck, Will. I have a meeting with my debate team." Carlton said

"Sorry, Carlton, but I have to buy a dress." Hilary said

"I would let you use our car...I just don't want to" I said

"Hold on, Hilary, that's not fair the way you keep hogging the car." Will said

Okay, okay, I'll compromise with you
guys. Let's play rock-paper-scissors." Hilary said

"No, no. Let's play three stooges. "Hey, Moe.." Will said

"Come on, guys. Alright, you ready? Ready, set, shoot." Hilary said

"Well, scissors cut paper, Will." Carlton said

"Well, rock breaks your scissors, Carlton." Hilary said

" Wait. Hold it, hold it..No, no, no." Will said

You lost, fair and square, Will. Looks like you're outta luck. Carlton, I'll drop you off." Hilary said as she left

"Wait, y'all. Now, hold it. Don't paper get nothing?" Will asked

"Paper gets to ride his bike." I told him as Carlton and I walked out the kitchen

------------------------------------------------------------

The next day I was in the kitchen with Geoffrey and Mr. and Mrs. Banks. I heard Naughty By Nature as Geoffrey started dancing as I started rapping along with the words

"What is that?" Mrs. Banks asked

"Vivian, I think it's the big one." Mr. Banks said

"Not unless he's down with "O.P.P." Geoffrey said

"Yeah, you know me!" Geoffrey and I yelled dancing as Mr., Mrs. Banks, and I walked outside to see Will dancing and cleaning a car

"Surprise!" Will yelled turning off the music

"You've heard of the Batmobile. Get a load of the rap-mobile." Will said

"I have never seen so much trash in one car." Mr. Banks said as Jazz sat up

"Yo.....who cut the..Oh. Mr. Banks. Sorry, I didn't see you.....as hard as that is to believe." Jazz said

"Will, where did you get this car?" I asked

"Uh, I bought it, Zee. With money I saved
from my allowance and my part-time job at the restaurant. Now I can drive you wherever you want." Will said wrapping his arms around me as I looked at how dirty the car was

"It's okay. I'm good" I said

"But did you get insurance?" Mr. Banks asked

"Um, hey, check this out, Uncle Phil. I got this fly stereo system." Will said

"Did you get insurance?" He asked again

"Um, all this stuff that I got in the car
I got from Jazz's connection at the Pep Boys.
His mom used to date 'em." Will said

"But did you get insurance?" Mrs. Banks asked

"Uh, no, but I got this real fly Malcolm X air freshener." Will said

'Until I see some insurance papers
you're not drivin' this car. In fact, what kind of idiot would sell a car without insurance?" Mr. Banks asked

'I resent that." Jazz said as Mr. Banks glared at him

"Ah, the joke's on you, Mr. Banks. You can't throw me out. 'Cause I'm already outside." He said as Mr. Banks put him over his shoulder and threw him in the kitchen

------------------------------------------------------------

The next night Carlton and I were sitting on the couch reading a book when we saw Will walk in. He crashed into Eric's car so I guess he was still hiding

"Still hidin' from dad, huh?" Carlton asked

'Look, man. I am not hidin', alright? I bought a car, I drove a car and I had a wreck. So what? I'll tell Uncle Phil that to his face." Will said as Mr. Banks walked in

"Oh, hi, dad." Carlton said smirking

"Oh, no, that's extremely creative, Carlton.
Look behind you. There's dad. Ooh. Ooooh!" He said as he felt his stomach

"I sure hope Luther Vandross is in the house." Will said as Geoffrey walked in

"Mr. Marshal. State marshal." He said as the state marshal walked in

"I-I guess you're lookin' for Will Smith." Will asked

"There he is, my man. Right there." He said pointing to Carlton

"I'm looking for Philip Banks."he said

"I'm Philip Banks." Mr. Banks said

"Sir, this is a subpoena. Could you, uh,
sign right here, please? Have a nice day." He said as he left

"I can't believe this. Eric is taking me to court." Mr. Banks said

"Can he do that?" I asked as Carlton and I walked up to him

"Well, Will is a minor. I am his legal guardian." Mr. Banks said

"Hold up, hold up, hold up, Wait. Let me get this straight. I buy a car, I don't get insurance
I get in a wreck, and you get sued?" Will asked

"That's right, Will." Mr. Banks said

"Man, works for me." He said as Mr. Banks chased him

------------------------------------------------------------

My grandfather and I was at the court house with the Banks family as Mr. Banks and Will walked in as Jazz walked in with a neck brace

"Jazz, man, what are you tryin' to pull?" Will asked

'Ten thousand a year for life." Jazz said

"That s a smart plan" I told my grandfather as he nodded

"You know what? I don't think it's quite tight enough." Will said about to choke him

"Okay, okay, okay. But you can't blame me
for my entrepreneurial spirit." Jazz said as my grandfather got on the ground

"Oh my neck. My neck and my back. I want 50,000 dollars" he yelled 

"You were nowhere near the accident" Mr. Banks said

"It was worth a try" he said getting up sitting next to me

"Banks, party of eight , please. Oh, I'm sorry. I see they've already been seated. Sorry. When I realized I'd have to raise my right hand
I stopped to buy gloves. Could you just die?" Hilary asked as Eric walked in

"Why, hello, everyone. Nice day, isn't it?" Eric asked

"I don't have to answer that." Will said

'Well, Mr. Banks, I just wanted to wish you good luck." He told him

"Son, I'm not the one who's going to need
luck. I'm not only going to win I'm gonna chew you up and spit you out." Mr. Banks said

"I seen him do a lot of chewin' but I ain't never seen him spit nothin' out." Jazz said as Mr. Banks glared at him

"All rise. Division 43 of the Los Angeles Municipal Court is now in session. The Honorable Harry Wilson presiding. Be seated." The officer said

"Let's see. Case number 3005, "Sanders vs. Banks." Says here, "The defendant Will Smith
"allegedly sideswiped the plaintiff Eric Sanders at the home of Philip Banks." Judge Wilson yelled

"Home. Must be nice. My wife took mine
in our divorce settlement. I hate her. I hate her! I hate her! I hate her!" He yelled as we all stared at him awkwardly

"Well, then, Mr. Sanders would you like to approach the bench and give us your
opening statement?" Judge Wilson yelled

"Uh, yes, Your Honor. And, uh, by the way
I am deeply sorry about your domestic situation. Your Honor, I was backing
out of the Banks' driveway when I heard loud, obnoxious music of the rap persuasion.
The next thing I knew Will Smith recklessly sideswiped my sole means of transportation." Eric told him

"I object, Your Honor." Mr. Banks said

"Yes, Your Honor, I object. This man is badgering the witness." Will said standing up

"Young man, there is no witness." Judge Wilson said

"I-I know. I-I've just always wanted to say that." Will said as he sat back down

"I object because the volume of the stereo
has absolutely no bearing on my client's ability to operate a vehicle." Mr. Banks said

"Objection sustained. Uh, Mr. Sanders,
how much are you suing for?" Judge Wilson asked

"Twenty-five hundred dollars in damages." Eric said

"Would the defense like to make an opening statement?" He asked

"No, Your Honor. I'd like to call my first witness Will Smith." Mr. Banks said as Will went to the bench

"Raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" The officer asked

"I do, and I categorically deny all the charges against me. This is something that's been drummed up by the Democrats! My fault. Little too much CNN." Will said

"Mr. Smith, could you tell us in your own words what happened?" Mr. Banks asked

"Yeah. Well, peep this, your J-ship. Me and Jazz was abou to cruise down to the mall
in the honey wagon, you know, so we could
pack it up with some honeys. So I popped a little Peabo in the Pioneer checked my pocket for my binaca. Hey, 'cause, you know, fresh
breath can make the difference between gettin' a honey's number and gettin' flipped the bird." Will said

" A honey flipped me the bird at the bus stop this morning. That's the most action
I've had in six months." Judge Wilson said

"Yo, you were saying something,
Mr. Smith." He asked

"Yes, so I checked my rear-view mirror
and no sooner did I accelerate than out of nowhere the plaintiff this seer sucking Brooks brother over here came barreling out of nowhere and bashed right into me." Will said

"Anything else, Mr. Smith?" Judge Wilson asked

"Uh, yeah. Keep hope alive. You are somebody." Will said dapping him as Jazz went to the bench and held both hands up

"You can put your hands down, Jazz." Mr. Banks said

"No way. Dude's got a gun. Next thing you know, I got six warning shots in my back." Jazz said

"Jazz." Mr. Banks said

"I'm putting my hands down...now." Jazz said slowly putting his hands down

"Jazz, could you give us your account?" Mr. Banks asked

"Can't. They closed my account. They said I was allegedly writin' bad checks. I don't know what they talking about. Those checks was perfectly legible." Jazz said

"Your Honor, I'd like to call Hilary Banks to the stand." Eric said as Hilary went to the stand

"Now, were there mitigating circumstances
that facilitated the perpetrator to commit any malfeasance?" Eric asked

"Well, I wouldn't put it in those words exactly." Hilary said

"Well, why not?" Eric asked

"Because I don't know what they mean.
All I remember was loud music and something that smelled like cheap cologne
and fried chicken." Hilary said

"Loud music? Loud enough to drown out
the sound of my horn, Ms. Banks?" Eric asked as she agreed
.
"You see, Your Honor if my own passenger
cannot hear my horn then it was impossible
for Will Smith to hear it which is why my numerous warnings went unheeded and he continued to accelerate. That and that alone,
Your Honor caused the extensive damage
to my honey wagon. I mean my car, sir." Eric said

"Would you like to cross-examine, Mr. Banks?" Judge Wilson asked

"Yes, Your Honor." Mr. Banks said

" Ms. Banks."

"Daddy."

"Do you mind if I ask what Mr. Sanders was wearing the night of the accident?" Mr. Banks asked

"Eric was wearing his fabulous stonewashed Girbaud jeans that I picked out, of course.
Um, a Hugo Boss shirt and leather boots." Hilary said

"And on his face?" Mr. Banks asked

" Nothing. Oh, you mean, those awful glasses? Oh, no. I made him take those off
before we left the house." Hilary said

"So, you're saying that Mr. Sanders was not
wearing his glasses even though this Photostat of his license clearly states
that he should wear them at all times
while operating a vehicle." Mr. Banks said

'Oopsie."

'I rest my case, Your Honor." Mr. Banks said

'Case dismissed." Judge Wilson said as we all got up

"Hey, yo, yo, your J-ship. Uh, my number's in your file. Get with me sometime.

"Peace out." He said throwing up the peace sign as we all left

"Well I don't know what to say about that" My grandfather said

"When your a winner. Go to dinner. Pizza party" I yelled grabbed Ashley's running out the court room

A/N Sorry about the long hiatus I've been working and will try to update as much as I can
