A/N: I apologize if this chapter is majorly redundant. I'm trying very hard to keep everyone in character AND change the story appropriately. But I want the episode's main plot to be the same so it's hard to shake things up while keeping them the same, lol. Enjoy!

Chapter Two: Groovy Movies

Macy had noticed Joe working on a very large birthday card the night before. At first she had thought that the guys had actually remembered their mother’s birthday, but then she saw the card was addressed to their dad. She knew immediately what Joe was up to. The birthday fake out. She shook her head. The irony of the fake out was surely lost on him.

Macy had picked up her gift for Mrs. Lucas earlier today. She had gotten her gift certificates to a spa for a day of relaxation and pampering. Every woman needed one every now and then. She turned the corner to see Joe showing off his huge card while Nick and Kevin looked like they wanted to murder him.

“Hey guys! I need to get your opinion on something. Would your mom prefer to get ‘the Step’ or ‘the Thigh Master’ for her birthday?” Macy asked innocently as she showed them a picture of both choices.

“Oh no,” Nick said as he waved a finger at Macy. “I’m not falling for that a THIRD time.”

“We just pulled that scam like thirty seconds ago,” Joe told her.

“And you would NEVER give our mother one of those. You’d be too afraid she would think you were secretly insulting her or something. No way you would even think about buying either of those for our mom’s birthday,” Kevin told her with a look that clearly said he wasn’t buying any of it.

Macy feigned a dejected expression, “Okay, you’re right.”

They all three sighed in relief. Macy brightened and pulled an envelope out of her bag, “What I actually got her was a day at that fancy new spa that just opened across town. Manicures, Pedicures, Facials…the works. This place even has a sauna.”

Macy smiled victoriously when Nick’s eyes widened and he moved to the other side of his brothers. She fought a chuckle when they began to whisper back and forth. It was just as she thought. They had forgotten. It was almost too easy to pick on these guys. It really was.

“You guys totally blanked on her birthday, didn’t you?” Macy grinned.

They responded with a chorus of “no”s and other excuses and she finally began to feel sorry for them. She gave them a look of pity.

“I think the school store is still open,” She suggested hopefully. They all immediately raced past her discussing gift possibilities as they ran. She wondered if there would come a day where they would remember a birthday or anniversary. She chuckled to herself as she turned and walked away. Probably not.

Macy scribbled out a tentative schedule for her weekly training sessions with the guys, and scrunched up her nose as she erased her plans for Wednesday. She met with the guys Mondays and Wednesdays after school. She’d been their personal trainer for a little over a year now. She worked for a few more hours until she finally had the concrete version of this month’s training schedule. She nodded as she looked over it and then slipped it into her messenger bag. She needed to get Mr. Lucas’s approval before she handed it out to the guys. Luckily her house wasn’t far from the fire house so she could just walk there relatively quickly. She didn’t bother knocking when she arrived and barged on in. There was no one downstairs so she figured, at least, the boys would be upstairs.

As she came up the stairs she heard the voices of Mr. and Mrs. Lucas.

“Hey, everyone!” Macy said brightly. “I just came by to get Mr. Lucas’s approval on-“

She stopped when she noticed the home movies playing on the screen.

“Aw, home movies! My favorite!” Macy quickly sat down on the arm of Mrs. Lucas’s chair. She noticed Mrs. Lucas crying softly. She smiled fondly at the older woman, “Happy crying?”

She nodded as Kevin handed her a tissue.

Macy’s eyes widened at the site if the guys hair. She chuckled, “Wow, talk about a bad hair day…well more like a bad hair decade for you guys.”

Nick laughed mockingly, “Very funny, Misa. Your hair back in the day wasn’t that much better or have you forgotten about the boy cut?”

She glared at him, “At least my hair didn’t look like it was cut while wearing a bowl on my head.”

“True, it did however make you look like Mitchell Misa instead of Macy Misa.”

Macy glared at him and scrunched up her face as she mocked him in a low voice, “Oh look at me, I’m Nick Lucas. I play a plethora of musical instruments and think I’m oh so special.”

The video on the screen changed and Macy’s eyes softened, “Aw, look at that little girl with the curly pig tails! Isn’t she adorable?”

The video was of one of Macy’s first basketball games.

Macy smiled, “Did you see that pass? She’s just a natural born athlete, and watch as she scores right here! Just watch…eat that older kids!”

Kevin, Joe, and Nick shared a look and rolled their eyes.

“I think that’s enough home movies for today,” Nick said as he rolled his eyes and turned off the video.

Macy scoffed, “Rude. It was just getting good!”

Kevin chuckled and patted her shoulder, “We can watch more of it later, Mace.”

“Fine,” Macy agreed as she remembered why she dropped by. “Mr. Lucas I have the schedule for the next month if you would like to look over it.”

“Sure, Macy, I’ll take it now and get back to you tomorrow,” Tom said as he held out his hand for the paper. Macy quickly rifled through her bag and found it. She placed it in his hand.

“Okay, well that’s why I came by so I should probably go,” Macy said as she stood up.

“Macy, why don’t you stick around for dinner,” Mrs. Lucas offered. “We’ve got plenty.”

Macy smiled, “Sure, I’d love that.”

Macy was so glad to be a part of this family. Sure, she teased the boys, but it was no more teasing than what they would get from an actual sister. In a pinch she would do anything for them and she knew they would do anything for her. She loved every member of the Lucas family, and she had no idea what she would do with out them.

“You guys did what?” Macy asked loudly into her phone.

Nick sighed on the other end, “Tweedles Dee and Dumber used a colander instead of a bowl and we ended up destroying our home movies.”

Macy winced, “Your mother must be upset. She loved those things.”

“She’s playing the loving and forgiving card.”

“Ouch,” Macy said as she wrinkled up her nose.

“So, Kevin had this idea and we need your help,” Nick said.

“How can I help?” She asked curiously.

“We’re going to re-make the home movies and we need you to be in a few of them.”

“Sure, of course I’ll help,” Macy agreed.

“Sweet, can you come over now?” He asked.

She stood and began gathering her things, “I’m on my way right now. See you in a few.”

She and Nick hung up and Macy was out the door in a matter of minutes. She arrived at the firehouse and immediately headed upstairs.

“Hey, guys, I’m-“ Macy froze when she saw them all standing in front of her in fleece, footy, pajamas. She couldn’t help but laugh at the picture they made. “Oh what would the paparazzi say about this, I wonder?”

Nick glared at her, “Don’t laugh too much…we have a pajamas for you too.”

Her eyes widened, “I’m sorry what?”

Kevin tossed her a pair of footy pajamas covered in little yellow ducks, “Enjoy.”

“Awesome,” Macy deadpanned. “Where did you even get these?”

“We had Joe ask Stella for a favor. She had them done in like half an hour,” Kevin said in an impressed tone.

Macy’s eyes widened, “Was she conscious when he left?”

“I think so,” Kevin said thoughtfully. Macy turned to see the Christmas tree in the corner.

“Wow, and your mother hasn’t noticed the sudden out of season decorations…how?”

“She took Frankie to the park,” Joe explained as he entered the room with the camera.

“You,” Macy said as she pointed to him. “Was Stella awake and alert when you left? And did you give her any sort of compensation for working faster than she’s ever worked in her life?”

“Are backstage passes to a Jonas concert compensation enough?” Joe asked.

Macy nodded, “Did she faint when you told her about them?”

He nodded.

“Then yes, that’s perfect,” Macy grinned. Macy made her way to the bathroom to change, and reluctantly came out afterward. She couldn’t believe they had talked her into wearing ducky pajamas. It suddenly hit her what home movie they might be remaking.

“Oh no,” Macy said as she glared at her friends. “Please tell me this is not from the Christmas where I ran into that tray of hot cocoa.”

Nick smirked, but said nothing.

“No way, Nick,” Macy told him. “I’m not doing that again. Why would that even count as one of your mom’s treasured memories? Why?”

“Because it started out adorable with you and Kev dancing together,” Joe pointed out.

“We were spinning and jumping. It’s not like we were a junior Fred and Ginger or something.”

“You don’t want to dance with me?” Kevin asked her with his large round puppy dog eyes. Macy’s eyes widened.

“Not the eyes, Kevin…oh please don’t give me those eyes…” Macy let out a defeated sigh, “Darn you Lucas boys. Fine.”

Kevin beamed and Macy felt something inside of her chest flutter.

“Okay, so, Kevin and Macy will be dancing over here. Kevin will spin Macy and ‘accidentally’ let go causing Macy to knock over the tray of cold hot cocoa over there,” Joe explained. “Places!”

Macy stared at Joe and then leaned toward Nick, “He’s letting this whole director thing go to his head, isn’t he?”

“Totally,” Nick nodded.

“I said places!” Joe yelled again.

“Shall we?” Kevin asked as he held his hand out to Macy.

She chuckled and took it, “As I’ll ever be.”

She allowed Kevin to drag her to their ‘mark’ which was a piece of brightly colored tape stuck to the floor.

“Only for you,” Macy said with a pause before she realized what she was saying. “Guys. Only for you GUYS would I relive this memory.”

“Action!” Joe yelled. Macy tried not to laugh as Kevin automatically began jumping and spinning. She bit her bottom lip and joined him. Eventually the fact that they were being filmed was forgotten and she was just focused on having fun with Kevin. She and Kevin laughed as they continued to jump around like hyper six year olds.

“And spin her,” Joe said. Kevin gave her an apologetic look and quickly spun her toward the tray. Macy sighed as she felt him let go and closed her eyes as she hit the tray and cold hot cocoa spilt all down her front.

“Cut!” Joe said with a light laugh.

“You know,” Nick smirked. “I think we need to do that again.”

Macy glared at him as the hot cocoa dripped down her chest and seeped into the fleece.

“Yeah, I’m not sure quite enough of the cocoa got on you,” Joe agreed with a grin. “Back to one?”

“Back to one,” Nick agreed with a smirk and a nod.

Macy rolled her eyes, “Not happening.”

“If we did it again we could dance some more,” Kevin said happily.

Macy smiled at him, “Maybe some other time, Kev. Right now, I need to get these chocolate covered PJs off of me.”

“You’ve just made our mom very happy, Mace!” Nick yelled after her with a smug grin.

“Oh shut up!” She called over her shoulder as she reached the bathroom.
