Will's mom was coming from Philadelphia with her new boyfriend Robert and his daughter Claudia so my grandfather and I were over for breakfast. Carlton and I were sitting and reading the newspaper and completing the crossover

"Having breakfast with Rico Suave?" Carlton asked as I laughed

"No, mom and Robert sent me this from the time they was in Mexico." Will told us

"That looks just like the hat you gave me for my birthday." My grandfather said

"Oh, don't worry, Mr. A, I'll have it back in your room in an hour, man." Will told him when Mr. and Mrs. Banks walked in

"Geoffrey, would you put these in a vase for me, please?" Mrs. Banks asked handed him some flowers

"Yes, madam." He told her taking the flowers

"I got all of Vy's favorite things. Pineapple juice, brownies. How did this"Playboy" get in here?" Mrs. Banks asked looking at her husband

"Uh, I bought it. It's a special legal edition. The centerfold wants to be a supreme-court justice." Mr. Banks said taking it away

"Well you work in law you don't need this" my grandfather told him taking the Playboy

"Neither does you" I said taking the magazine away as he pouted

"But Zo-Zo, I'm a lonely old man" he told me as I scrunched my face up in disgust

"Okay first of all ew, and second of all I don't understand how you can look at something that objectfys women" I told him

"Hey, you have your posion I have mine" he said taking the magazine back when Hilary and Ashley walked in

"I had the hardest time deciding what to wear to meet Aunt Vy's new boyfriend. I've never known anyone in construction except for that guy in the"Village People." Hilary said

"Yeah, well, his daughter can sleep in my room but if she touches my stuff I'm stuffing her in the clothes hamper." Ashley said as we all looked at her

"What? It's not like Hilary never did it." Ashley defended as her and Hilary joined us at the table

"Well, I am so excited. This is the first time Vy's brought anybody home to meet the family. Could be serious." Mrs. Banks told us

"Oh, no, no, no. Not with my mom. All she's trying to do is get to
her retirement plan and her rocking chair." Will told us

"Is that why she's moon-walking up the driveway?" Carlton asked as we all looked outside

"Diva!" Ms. Vy yelled running into the house

"'Diva!'" Mrs. Banks yelled as she ran to go hug her and Ashley, Hilary, and I jumped up and down with them as Will joined in too

"Look at you, baby!" She said going over to hug Will

"Hey, your complexion has cleared up." She told him smiling as Will nodded

"Yeah, mom. Zee hooked me up with some of this cream...Hey so did yours." He told her looking at her face when the cutest child walked in the kitchen

"Hey, you must be Robert." Will said

"You're funny. You must be Carlton." She asked as Will picked her up

"Well, no. You see....actually, Carlton is the funny-looking one overthere. See, I'm Will, but you can just call me Your Majesty." Will told her

"I may be small, but I'm not ignorant." She told him as we laughed

"Everyone, this is Robert's daughter Claudia." Ms. Vy introduced us

"Hi, Claudia. I'm Hilary." Hilary said picking her coming to sit down

"Hello, I'm Zora" I said as I went to pick her up. She is the cutest child I've ever seen in my life

"Oh, my God, isn't she the cutest little thing you've ever seen?" I asked smiling at Claudia

"Not really." Ashley said as Mrs. Banks plucked the back of her head

"Oh you are the cutest child I've ever seen in my life" I gushed as Ashley cleared her throat

"Oh hey Ashley" I said waving her off still playing with Claudia

"And I would like for you to meet....Robert." Ms. Viola said when a very handsome man walked in

"And isn't he the biggest hunk you've ever seen?" Hilary asked us

"Not really." Will said as Ms. Viola left to go to the bathroom so we started breakfast without her

"Where's Vy? Breakfast is getting cold." Mrs. Banks asked

"Knowing Vy, she's upstairs freshening up." Robert told us

"Oh, no, no. Not my mom. First thing she does when she gets anywhere is kick off her shoes roll her hair up into one of them twist joints and put on one of my big old sweat suits." Will said as she walked in wearing a completely different outfit

"Sorry, everybody. I just had to freshen up a little bit. You like my new pearls, Will?" She asked

"Yeah, but they'd probably look better with one of my big old sweat suits." Will told her

"You can borrow them anytime, baby." She told him as he grabbed a plate

"Wait, mom. Hold it. I put your favorite breakfast together for you.
There's waffles with boysenberry syrup, eggs, extra-runny and-and sausage extra-burnt." He told her

"Thank you, baby, but I'm eating lighter these days." She told him as he looked upset. I stood up and grabbed the plate as I went go sit back down at eat it 

"Hey, you want half my melon?" Robert asked her as she smiled and sat next to him

"Oh, baby, you know me like the back of your hand. Oh, but I need some juice. Anybody else want anything while I'm up?" She asked us

"As long as I'm around, you're not lifting a finger. May I?" Robert said as he got up

"Philip..I feel a little thirsty, too." Mrs. Banks pouted giving her husband a love struck expression

"Robert, do you mind getting Vivian something to drink while
you're over there? And toss me a puddin' pop." Mr. Banks asked as I chuckled

"The refrigerator doesn't open right. You mind if I look at it?" Robert asked

"Be my guest, but the repairman said we had to order new door hinges." Mr. Banks told him

"Yo, hold up, Robert! I can take care of that. Hey, G, I'm gonna need a screwdriver, a wrench, T-square and about a week off
from school." Will said

"All done." Robert told him as Will jiggled the refrigerator door

"Oh, sure. It's just going to break again in 20 years." Will said slamming the door shit

"Robert can fix anything. He's in construction. Tell 'em, baby." Ms. Vy said

"I'm in construction." He told us as we laughed 

"But keep your fingers crossed. He's working on this big deal with the government and he's expecting to hear from them any day. If the deal goes through, he'll be his own boss." Ms. Vy told us

"Well, yo, I'm working on a big deal. Oh, you know, down at the restaurant where I work I'm about to be promoted to vice president in charge of keeping bums out of the entry way." Will told us as we ignored him

"So Robert, you know how to fix a broken dish?"  My grandfather asked

"Sure. You got any super glue?" Robert asked 

"I was talking about our satellite dish." My grandfather told him 

"So am I." He said as him, Mr. Banks and my grandfather excused themselves from the table 

"Sweetie, why don't you show Claudia our backyard?" Mrs. Banks asked Will 

"Well, why? It's hot, it's smoggy and plus I won't be able to hear nothing y'all saying." Will said

"That's the point, big guy. Come on." Claudia said grabbing Will's hand as they walked to the backyard as Hilary, Ashley, and I all pulled our chairs to Mrs. Banks and Ms. Vy 

"So, did he pop the question?" Ashley asked hopefully 

"Ashley, honey, where are your manners?" Mrs. Banks scolded 

"I'm sorry. Did he pop the question, please?" Ashley asked again as Vy laughed 

"Not yet, but he's planning on building this dream house and he did mention"His and Her" sinks." Vy told us 

"Let the maids worry about the sinks. What does he drive?" Hilary asked 

"The important question is does his mother like you." Mrs. Banks asked 

"She's dead." She told us 

"Girlfriend, you in." Mrs. Banks said high fiving her as we laughed 

————————————————————————————————————————————————

Robert ended up getting his promotion so the next day we were all at the Banks House celebrating 

"Congratulations, Robert. Landing a government contract is a hell of a deal. I'd like to impart some words that I've always lived by mo' money, mo' money, mo' money." Mr. Banks toasted 

"That's beautiful, dad." Carlton smiled as I rubbed his back 

"Ah I believe that's what Ghandi preached about" I said sarcastically taking a glass of champagne as my grandfather switch it with orange juice 

"I have to admit success is sweet. But having three beautiful women to share it with makes it even sweeter." Robert said smiling 

"Especially when they're triplets." Geoffrey said pouring some wine into a glass as we all looked at him 

"I'll get the munchies." Geoffrey said as he left 

"Does anyone wonder about Geoffrey's double life" I asked 

"Hey, uh, congratulations, Robert. Hey, it's nice to hear you're going to have money now. Uh, guess them old girlfriends are going to be coming out of the woodworks, huh." Will asked 

"Actually, your mother's the only woman I've dated since my divorce." Robert told him kissing Ms. Vy hand smiling 

"Oh, that is so sweet, isn't that, Philip? Philip?" Mrs. Banks yelled as he peaked his head from the kitchen 

"Huh? I'm sorry, sweetheart. I-I was looking for some beer nuts." He told her 

"That's your husband" I told her sitting down on the arm of the couch Carlton was sitting on

"Phil, I feel pretty lucky. How about that tennis game you promised me?" Robert asked 

"You got it." Mr. Banks said 

"I'll referee to make sure nobody is cheating" my grandfather said as we all looked at Mr. Banks 

"What" he asked confused 

"Uncle Phil, no jumping over the net." Will yelled to him 

"This is such a big night for Robert. Oh, I'm gonna make him a special dinner." Ms. VY said standing up

"Honey, save the rice. You'll be needing it at the wedding and we can save some for Zora and Carltom's" Mrs. Banks teased as I started chocking on my orange juice as Carlton patted my back 

"What? Whoa, come on. M-mom. Now, look, I didn't want to bring this up but I was standingbehind Robert in the mirror. And dude ain't got no reflection." Will told her as she tollled her eyes 

"Stop fooling around. I really want to fix Robert something special. What should I make?" Ms. Vey asked us 

"How about reservations?" Hilary asked 

"Hey, what about Will's favorite dish? It's not every day he gets to have his mom prepare him a home-cooked meal." Carlton suggested 

"You know, Carlton, you're right. So what would my son like for dinner?" Vy asked walking up to Will

"Well, I feel like something exotic.MHow about Lebanese? You think Robert will mind swinging by Beirut?" Will asked 

That night we were all waiting to eat dinner but Will was nowhere to be found so we kept waiting for him 

"Mom, we're starved. And Claudia's being selfish with her Pez." Carlton said as me, him, Ashley, and Claudia walked into the kitchen 

"Carlton, you just have to know how to ask." Ashley said as she held her hand out as Claudia gave it to her 

"Now can I have Barbie's head back?" Claudia asked as Carlton and I both shook our heads at her in disappointment 

"Listen, Will's not going to show up. Why don't you kids go ahead on and eat?" Ms. Vy asked as Claudia and Ashley walked out the kitchen 

"The Willster must be feeling pretty low to pull a stunt like this. I haven't seen him this upset since someone told him he looked like me." Carlton said as I nodded validating his story 

"He's just hard-headed. I don't know where he gets it from." Ms. Vy said 

"I do. Gets it from you. I'm the understanding sister. Helen is the loud one.Janice is the flighty one, and you are the hard-headed one." Mrs. Banks told her 

"I thought I was the sweet one." She mumbled 

"You said you were the sweet one. When we tried to tell you you weren't you wouldn't listen because you're too hard-headed." Mrs. Banks told her 

"As much as I enjoy these wonderful walks down memory lane, I'm pooped. I'll walk Zora home" Carlton said 

"Goodnight" I told them as Carlton and I walked out the house 

"You know we're not going to bed are you" Carlton asked grabbing the car keys 

"Oh yeah" I said as we got into the car 

Carlton and I ended up driving around all of Bel-Air looking for Will. We checked every bar and pool hall in the area. We walked into the pool hall as we saw Will sitting at the bar 

"Will, thank God we found you." I said running up to hug him 

"Carlton, Zee how did you know I was down here? Uh, did my mom send you down here to get me?" He asked hopefully 

"No." Carlton and I told him as his smiled dropped 

"We snuck out. We were worried about you." I told him

"As you can see, I'm fine." He told us going to the pool table 

Will, you don't have to hide behind that macho exterior with us. I see your frightened inner child and I'm here to say come out and play." Carlton told him 

"Zee has you watching too much"Oprah,"man." Will told him 

"You can never watch, too much "Oprah." If it wasn't for her show, I'd still be in denial about my drinking." A random man said as he drunk from the cup 

"Will, look, I know how you feel about Robert. But you're not the only one who gets jealous.I mean, how do you think I felt when you moved in?" Carlton told him

"What? You was jealous of me?" Will asked 

"Sure. You're tall, good at basketball, the babes love you. You know, of course, none of that will help you in the corporate world but.....for the next year or so, you're sitting pretty." Carlton told him as I shook my head 

"You started off really strong then somewhere in the middle it just" I said making an exploding noise 

"You know, it was real nice of you to come down here, man. You ain't seeing my girlfriend or nothing, are you?" Will asked 

"Will, I just want you to know if your mom abandons you and gets married you'll always have us. Because..well...you're like the brother I've always wanted." Carlton said as he was about to hug Will but Will backed up and they shook hands 

"Thanks a lot" Will said 

"For not hugging you, right?" Carlton asked 

"Well, no, you know, for saying that I'm like the brother that you always wanted. And for not hugging me, man." Will said 

"Just admit you love each other" I said as I wrapped my arms around both of them and pulled them into a hug as they smiled 

Carlton and I finally brought Will home as we all walked into the kitchen 

"Uh, so how was dinner? Any leftovers?" Will asked as his mom turned to him

"Where the hell have you been?" Ms. Vy yelled 

"Boy, time flies when you're running up to your bedroom." Carlton said looking at his watch and leaving the kitchen 

"I'm right behind you, Carlton." Robert said following Carlton 

"Thank you so much for your hospitality" I said as I ran out the kitchen  

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

The next day we were all in the living room saying goodbye to Claudia, Robert, and Ms. Vy as I ran up to hug Claudia goodbye 

"Goodbye to the most adorable child I've ever had the pleasure of spending time with" I said as she smiled 

"Ahem" Ashley coughed 

"Oh hey Ashley" I said waving her off as Claudia and I walked into the kitchen and saw Will eating cereal 

"Hi, Will." Claudia said as I helped her on the bar stool 

"Hey, Claudia." Will said as I sat on a bar stool 

"You know, Will, there are a lot of advantages to our parents getting together. The guilt alone will get us both ponies." Claudia told him 

"Well, no, I'm not into using guilt for my personal gain. Temper tantrums, that's where the money is." Will told her as she laughed pointing 

"You slay me, Will. You know, Will. You would make a great brother. I'm not so bad, either.When you take me to the parks with you I can attract more babes than a puppy." Claudia told her 

"What time is your flight?" Will asked her as Mr. and Mrs. Banks walked in with Vy and Robert 

"Oh, I hate saying goodbye to you, Vy. It's the only time I cry." Mrs. Banks said 

"Are you kidding, child? You cry more than Richard Simmons." Vy told her 

"Thanks for the hospitality." Robert said shaking Mr. Banks hand 

"Our pleasure. Just be sure you take care of Vy." Mr. Banks told him as Will walked up to him 

"Uh, Robert, hold up, man. Um.. I just wanted to a-apologize for-for messing up your celebration. Oh, next time you come out, dinner on me?" Will said shaking his hand 

"I appreciate it, man. I'll be right there." Robert said 

"I guess this is goodbye." Will told his mom 

"I guess it is." Vy told him 

"He's alright." Will said 

"Well, you're "Alright," too. In fact, you are the greatest son a mom ever had." She told him as they hugged 

"I'm going to miss you, Claudia." Ashley said 

"I'm going to miss you, too. Thanks for letting me polish your shoes hang up your clothes,and vacuum your room. It was really fun playing Geoffrey." Claudia smiled as we all gave Ashley a look 

"What? It's not like Hilary never did it." Ashley defended as she walked out the kitchen 

"Come on, Claudia." Ms. Vy told her 

"Bye, Will. Bye Zora" Claudia told us 

"Oh, wait. Hold up, Claudia.I think you're forgetting something." Will said as he took his bracelet off his wrist and put it on Claudia's

"But your Zora  gave it to you." Claudia told us 

"Yeah, but you're a better friend." Will told us 

"I'm standing right here" I fake pouted 

"And, besides, you can spy on my mom for me." Will said as the three of us laughed
