The day of the trip
Schmidt and Cece's House
Living Room
Schmidt: Cece, everyone should be here soon. What are you doing?
Schmidt walks into the bedroom as Cece is going through the luggage.
Schmidt: Cece! You know the rules. Now I have to start at square one! (He says in frustration, as he begins to pull out everything in the suitcase)
Cece: Schm......you don't need to pull everything......
Schmidt: I don't know that? I can't know that, not till I pull everything out and repack it, the Right Way!
The front door opens
Nick: Hey!
Cece goes into the living room
Cece: Hey guys!
Reagan: Where's Schmidt? He only texted us twice on the way over.
Jess: (laughing) He's probably repacking Cece's bag.
They all laugh.
Jess: Really?
Cece: Yeah, I was looking for something in my bag a couple minutes ago.......
Jess and Nick gasp
Jess: Cece!
Reagan: What?! What did I miss?
Jess to Cece: Can I take this?
She nods.
Jess: Schmidt has these rules, no shoes on the furniture.
Cece: Daily cleaning of the bathroom.
Jess: Never wear clip on ties.
Nick: No sharing toothbrushes.
They all gasp in disgust.
Jess: Well, anyway, no one is allowed in the suitcase after Schmidt packs it, till we get to the destination.
Reagan: Why?
No one answers.
Reagan: Wait, does he pack all of your bags?
Everyone is quiet. Then....
Nick: Everything is so well folded and smells so good. How does he do that?
Jess: Ah, Nick.
Nick: I know, don't ask the magician how the sausage is made.
Jess: No, no....I was just gonna say that he doesn't touch anything that goes into your bag, till he washes everything first. So the thing you smell is....
Nick: Shampoo
Reagan: Laundry detergent.
Nick: Makes sense, makes sense.
Just at that time, Schmidt comes out with the bags all in tact.
Schmidt: Well, I hope all of you have followed the rules, because my wife....
All: Yes, yeah, all good.
As they are leaving.
Reagan, just thinking about what has happened: Wait! Schmidt, does this mean you were in my suitcase?
Schmidt: Oh, Reagan. You have nothing to worry about.
She turns to leave and he makes a face.

Winston and Ally's
The Living Room
We see Winnie's pack and play set up and his toys strewn about.
Winnie is running around as Winston is trying to get him dressed for the day.
Ally comes out of the bed room and witnesses the action.
Ally: Babysit, he says. It's gonna be easy, he says.
Winnie: What?! It is easy, I got everything under control. (Winnie hits him over the head with one of his toys) Owe!
Ally laughs.

The Airport
Cece and Schmidt are walking out of the food court. The rest are following.
Cece: See Schmidt, I told you traveling without a child would be so much easier.
Schmidt: Yup, you were right.
Said sarcastically, then he turns around and wipes the mustard off Nick's shirt.
Schmidt: Extra mustard, what were you thinking Nick?!
Nick: You can't have a hot dog without mustard, Schmidt! Them's the rules.
Schmidt: Rules?
Nick: Yeah like, you can never eat too much meat, beef jerky is a food group and never, and I mean never order salad!
Everyone is now just staring at him.
Nick says emphatically: Yeah!
"Flight 205 to Portland, will be boarding in ten minutes."
Schmidt: Come on, that's us.
Reagan: We know Schmidt.
She turns to talk to Jess.
Reagan: It's like he thinks we will get lost or catch the wrong flight or something.
Jess chuckles.
Cut to the past
Airport terminal
Jess and Nick are arguing with a gate attendant.
Schmidt walks up, just as they are calling security.
Schmidt: Ah, I think I can clear this up. See, this is my brother and he gets easily confused. Right Nick?
Nick: Huh?
Schmidt: See. (To the security guard.) Come on Nicky, lets go get on the big bird.
They walk off.
Cut to present day
Jess looks confused.

Winston and Ally's Loft
Ally comes into the living room. She looks at Winston and he his playing with Winnie on the floor.
Ally: Winston, I thought we were taking Winnie to the park.
Winston: We were but then, well....
Ally: It was just a little morning sickness. I'm fine Winston.
Winston looks concerned.
Ally: Really.
Winston: Okay, but the minute we need to leave.....
Ally: I will let you know.
Winston: All right.
They start to get ready to go.

New part!!! will read asap 6 feet

KatB

Yay! Can’t wait. I am almost done writing. Idk though, it feels uneven. Some people have very little in this story. Maybe I’m just rusty?

lessismore

never rusty!!! I loved it again! I laughed so much even tho it was short, so you are never rusty!

Winnie's timing and Ally quoting Winston about babysitting

Nick being the child as usual and Schmidt knowing this and that confusion they had at the gate, Schmidt being the papa again I LOVE ALL OF THESE!

KatB

Thanks, pal!

I can post more tomorrow.

Yeah, I love babysitting stories, cause they never go right.

Haha, yup. I can totally see it. Along with Nick getting into an argument, when told that he is at the wrong gate. Some things never change. I can see ten years from now, him traveling with his kid, and his kid, would have to help him.

lessismore

His kid being the dad I could totally imagine that too and possible convos between him and Schmidt too!!

KatB

Haha, thanks.

Airport
Schmidt is trying to rent a car. The others are right there.
Schmidt: What?! You do you mean, you don't have a car?
Cece: Babe!
Schmidt: You rent cars, that's what you do!
Attendant: Sorry sir, but all I have are compact cars and clearly you will need a biger vehicle.
Jess: That's okay Schmidt, I'll just call my mom. She will be more than happy to pick us up.
Later
Jess: Mom!
Joan: Jelly bean! (They hug?) How was the flight?
Jess: Good. How is uncle Kevin?
Joan: Better, now that he is on new medication......
Schmidt: Excuse me, I don't mean to break up the family wrap up, but we are standing in the middle of the road.
Then you see that they are in the pick up, drop off road, by the airport. People are driving around them and look annoyed. Luggage on the ground and everyone all spread out.
Joan: Yeah, yeah.
They all load up and take off.

Joan's Car
Later
Cece: Joan, I think you just missed the exit.
Joan: No, I don't think so.
Cece: Well, I was just saying, the hotel is off of exit five so......
Joan: Oh yeah, the hotel, I canceled that.
Schmidt: Sorry, you what?
Cece: Where are we gonna stay?
Schmidt: Can we stay with your mom?
Cece: No, she just had the floors redone.
Schmidt nods because he understands.
Nick: ....and?
Schmidt: What do you mean and? Didn't you hear? She just had the floors redone.
Nick looks at Schmidt, like he is crazy!
Joan: What is this? You are all staying with me.
Jess: No, mom. We can't ask you to do that. We can be a lot.
Joan: That's okay, I like a lot.
Reagan: I don't think we have a choice, Jess.
Jess: You don't know what you are getting into.
Joan: What?
Jess: Mom, come on, you know.
Joan: You forget you have visitors and lock them out, one time, and you won't let me forget it.
Jess: It was winter mom, and it started snowing.
Joan: You survived till morning, didn't you?
Jess: I'm not getting into this again with you.
Everyone in the car looks like they want to be anywhere but stuck in a car with both of them.

The Park
Winnie slides down the slide and Ally catches him. Right behind him, Winston slides down the slide.
Ally: Okay, I think it is time to go.
Winston: Come on, just five more minutes!
Winston wipes his nose.
Ally: Winston, we have already stayed five more minutes...........four times.
She cleans all the sand and dirt off, both of them. They get their stuff together and leave.

Awwwwwww new part

Everyone will have a weed party at Joan's

HOW YOU WRITE THEM THIS WELL!!! When I am reading I could imagine them and hear them exactly! So great! The airport exit scene, car scene and Winnie and Winston Hey Winnie is that big now that he slides down? Awww Winston sliding down too and Ally cleaning them both. I LOVED THIS PART TOO!!!

KatB

Aww, thanks! Sorry but no weed party, I don’t like drugs so I won’t write that. But I hope it’s still fun. Anyway, most of it will be focused on the reunion.

So glad you liked Winnie and Winston. Winnie is around two so I think he should be able to slide. Idk, I’m not a parent. Let’s just pretend he can. If not, we can make him old enough to be able to. I plus Winston is right behind him and Ally is waiting at the bottom.

lessismore

Ahh I know you don’t, and I know you won’t write that. It was just an image because of the show Everyone being there together is already hilarious, starting from the exit scene and car scene


Ahh I imagined sliding scene just like that too! 2 year olds can slide down with help ofc He is so big now aww it was like yesterday he was born

KatB

Of course. I am so glad you liked it. I could just see them just talking, not thinking about the cars that they were clearly blocking.

I am so glad that you pictured it that as well. I know, it does feel like yesterday that he was born. Yet it's been, idk three or four years since I wrote that.

lessismore

We were talking about the sex of the baby, and the name of the baby too I love how they named (you named) their baby winnie and coincidentally it is also related to the show because of the show name of Schmidt (which we don't want to and won't accept ) I love Winnie as much as I love Ruth, they are both our babies

KatB

I am glad you like Winnie as much as Ruth. That is quite the compliment. I know, it's weird. Plus I used the name first, so it's just a weird coincidence. It just felt right.

lessismore

you know they were following us!
