Some families should have their own sitcom. Ours is no exception.
Seinfeld if Seinfeld were a show about a family.

The day began with Connor Singer wishing today would be better then yesterday. For at his beach side resturaunt The Clam's Pearl there had been no business. The weather was horrible and noone was at the beach. Connor could have taken the day off and gotten to sleep later and noone would have come. But today was a gorgeous day and there was sure to be a ton of costumers as there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The weather man said as Connor drank his coffee and ate his waffle that the temperature was going to be in the 90's. "If it's hot the beach will be busy, and if the beach is busy then I'll be busy. Hopefully" stated Connor as he got ready for work. "I wonder what sort of people will be there today?"

As Connor drove down the rode he thought he saw his cousin Austin just simply walking down the road. "Is that..? Nah he wouldn't be up this early."

((I got things started off so everyone else start adding))

Katie Beeblestein was still sleeping when her husband Michael walked into the bedroom. "Come on honey, time to get up." He pulled the shade down and let it snap up with a racket. Katie bolted up in bed. "I'm up! I'm up!" She shouted.

She got dressed walked into the kitchen. "What do you want for breakfast."
he asked her. "Oh sorry, no time, I've gotta stop off and give Connor his cut and then head off to work. "So many children to bribe, so little time." Michael commented as she walked out the door. "Shut up...sweetie!" she yelled from the hallway.

She got in her car and drove to the restaurant. "Here Connor, here's your half from the first day. Since it was your idea and all." She inhaled breakfast and drove off to Camp Coochiewawa.

"Katie didn't have to give me this much. But it's her money to give away. Looks like some people are coming in early for breakfast. they must want an early start." Connor was right because those people gulped down their breakfast in minutes and were straight off to the beach. "I knew having a resturant by the beach would be a good idea." "Hey boss!" "Yeah Liz?" "Larry was supposed to be here 40 minutes ago where is he?" "I don't know. He never called in sick." "Should I give him a call?" "Why not?" Things continued to grow busier as Connor and liz awaited the only other employee scheduled that day. "Liz have you gotten threw to him?" "No" "Where could he be?" ...

Katie came back to the restaurant for her lunchbreak. Michael was there waiting for her. "So, how much did you get today?" he was more sarcastic than usual. "What makes you think I bribed anybody today?" standing there holding a wad of cash. He just shook his head at her. "Don't forget, we're meeting your parents here after work, so please, don't be late."

Kate sighed. "Oh man, is that tonight, I have a meeting to go to, i'm investing in a new talk show." Michael was annoyed. "Katie...oh my god..you do this to me all the time, can't you reschedule?" She smiled at him and walked away. "Connor, you and Michael are having dinner with Grandma and Grandpa tonight, case closed bye now." She left before Connor could say anything.

"Hey Michael!" yelled Connor "Yeah?" "Why are you and I having dinner with my grandparents tonight?" "What?" "Yeah, your wife just told me we were." "KATIE!" Michael stormed off "What's his problem?" inquired Liz "Marriage issues." Connor frowned "Are you sure we're ready for this?" Liz asked "Yeah. Don't worry we won't end up like that." "How do you know?" "Because i don't bribe kids and send my nephews to dinner with my parents so I don't have to." They both laughed and returned to work. "Liz!" "Yeah?" "Where does Larry live?" "Sanderson street why?" "What number is his house im going to get him?" "223." "Okay I'll be back in a couple minutes don't worry." "I won't." Connor sped off to 223 Sanderson street and when he arrived he found the door wide open and Larry asleep on the sofa "Larry!" "What, who's there, what happened, what?" Larry fell off the sofa as he spoke "You were supposed to be at work 3 hours ago!" Larry covered his ears in pain "Could you keep it down please?" "What are you drunk?" "Yes." "Well get some pants on and come to work you'll just cook today. There is less noise in the kitchen." And with that Larry and Connor sped back to the resturant.

"Why are you investing in a talk show anyway, you hate them." Michael asked Kate as they walked to her car. "Because they're there." Kate explained as she tossed him a smile and got into her car. "Of course, how stupid of me to even ask...OWWWWW!!!"

Michael let out a girly ear piercing scream that made Connor drop a dozen wine glasses to the floor, causing them to shatter into a million pieces.
he ran out into the parking lot. "What the heck is the matter with you, you're scaring my normal customers away!" Michael's eyes were tearing.
"You're aunt just ran over my foot with the car!" Katie felt bad about yelling at Michael. "Well who told you to put your foot where it would get run over!"
Connor started laughing at them and went back into the restaurant. Katie got on her cell phone and called work to tell them that she wouldn't be back that afternoon -- family emergency. She even postponed the meeting for another day. "Wasn't that nice of me? Connor is still going to dinner with his grandparents though." Michael hobbled around on his crutches as he got ready for dinner. "Where's my tie?" Katie looked at him. "Uh...you're wearing it?" He felt kind of dumb and really doped up on pain pills. Kate drove to The Clam's Pearl where Katie's parents were waiting. Connor and Liz were trying to sober Larry up so he could serve dinner.

"And once and for all, I wish you stop calling me Michael. It's Richie Damnit."
Kate looked thoughtful. "So that would make me Katie Damnit?" Margaret Singer told her daughter to act like a lady. "I'm doing the best I can Mom."
She helped Richie sit down and put his crutches on the floor next to him.

"Connor, I think we should tell everyone tonight at dinner." said Liz after persuading Larry to serve dinner "Okay whatevere you think is right, but how in the world did you get Larry to serve dinner?" "I told him I'd give him something he's wanted for a while." She winked at Connor "When I said that i meant I'd give him a kick in the butt." "He'd probably like it." They both laughed

Once everyone was seated at the table C onnor stood up and lightly tapped the wine glass. "Everyone I'd like your attention. The lovely Liz Gaell and I are to be Married on July 22nd this year." "Why Connor thats in a few weeks." "I know it does seem awfully soon but we think we shouldn't wait."
The talking continued and eventually switched to Richie's broken foot until everyone decided to turn in. So they all said goodbye and went home to bed.

The next morning, Richie was up. Hobbling around on his crutches he was going to make breakfast. "What are you doing?" Katie asked him. "What's it look like, i'm going to make breakfast." She took the milk from him and put it back in the fridge. "Thanks hon, but, you need to relax, go lie down on the couch." "Yes Mrs. Greene." he sighed as made his way over to the couch.
"Greene? I thought our last name was Beetlejuice?" "That's Beeblestein and I was calling you by my mother's maiden name." He explained to his wife. "I got our name changed to Gray." Katie was really confused now. "Okay...so what is our last name now, because last night, we were the Damnits.

"You need to cut down on the pain pills. You're starting to sound like me." She left him alone with the promise that she'd be back with breakfast after she did some work at the camp. Discipline needed to be handed out and she needed money for groceries.

On her way home she stopped off at The Clam's Pearl. "Is our breakfast ready yet?" She asked Connor who was playing hackey sack outside with Larry and Liz. "I hope you three did some actual work today, I didn't invest in this restaurant just so you could play with a beanbag out in the parking lot, dude." She kidded him.

"Hey didn't you hear? There is a big storm coming our way, you can see the clouds in the distance. We've only had 2 or 3 costumers so we decided to play this until another one came or the storm hit. And yes your damned breakfast is ready it's on the counter." "You ok Connor?" asked Larry "Yeah its just that we've had such bad weather and few costumers." Connor answered "I just wish more people would come in." "Don't worry things will shape up." said Liz "Your probably right. We'll see you later Katie."

"Well, since he's not doing anything constructive, Larry can come home with me and serve all of us, you're all invited to my place for breakfast." Katie smiled and walked back to the car. She jumped in and heard somebody screaming. "Take Cover!!!! Tornado Watch!!!"

"I'm outta here!" Katie sped off, causing Larry to fall into the backseat.
Connor and Liz yelled at him to jump out at a red light. She sped into parking lot, parked the car. She and Larry ran into the building and took the elevator up to the 9th floor. They ran into the apartment. "Richie! There's a storm coming!!!" Larry yelled at him. "Calm down Larry, I know about the storm, we'll be safe here, where's Katie?" "She's taking a nap." Richie rolled his eyes.

Connor and Liz walked into the apartment and wondered where breakfast was.

"Hey Katie, where's the grub?" ..... "Katie?" "Shes still sleeping" said Larry "I thought she said 8 but she must have ment 10" "I'll get breakfast started for her since shes out cold." "Whos out cold?" interupted Richie "Katie is go wake her up." "Fine but she won't be happy." "So Connor, Liz, the big move huh?" "Oh, yeah we feel it's time. And we all know you object but that's why you can't come." "Hey!" "Sorry but we know you've wanted to go back out with Liz." "So." "Oh would you two stop fighting the sleeper has awoken."

"Who's not invited to the wedding? I hope it's me, no offense you two but weddings are depressing." Katie walked out of the bedroom, her hair all messed up from sleep. "Our wedding included?" Richie asked her. "That wasn't a wedding, it was a civil ceremony." "Remember we had the reception first and then went to city hall for the ceremony." "I'll never understand how you talked me into that." Richie just shook his head. "It was all Larry's idea, he said it would be a really groovy idea."

Larry looked up from scrambled eggs he was preparing. "Hey, wait a minute. Never in my life have I ever used the word groovy." "I'll bet you said it in high school, Quagmire." Connor and Liz went into the livingroom to read the paper. "Don't call me that." "He does look like him though." Richie laughed as
he started the coffee. The weather radio came on and storm warning was issued for Honolulu. There was a knock on the door and Richie answered.

"The building is being evacuated, we're transporting everyone to a shelter nearby." the police said. Katie and Richie grabbed a bunch of clothes, valuables and their laptops and got into the car. Larry went with them. Liz and Connor got into their car and they all drove to a shelter.

Connor stepped out of the car and began "What the hell are we doing the storm isn't even close? Why don't we just go back to my apartment, since its closer, and wait out the storm there. Besides I don't want some stanger or hobo sharing food with me." Everyone laughed and agreed so they all began towards Connor and Liz's apartment where they all waited out the storm...

3 days later: "Finally that damned storm is over." proclaimed Larry "It wasn't too bad" said Liz "Yeah for you." interupted Larry "The 4 of you were comfortable of course but pour old Larry was all alone." "Well.." started Connor "Maybe if you didn't act so much like Quagmire and actually got a girlfriend instead of a bedfriend you wouldn't be complaining." Everyone except Larry started laughing "Don't call me Quagmire damnit all!" raged Larry "Oh so we can call you Quagmire just not Quagmire damnit all gotcha" everyone continued to laugh and eventually Larry did too. And then everyone went back to their own apartments.

"I'm going out Richie, I'll see you later." Katie announced as she was about to walk out the door. "Where are you going?" he asked her. "I have that meeting, remember, we rescheduled it because you got hurt, you should come with me, you have a lot of good ideas." He thought about it and decided to attend the meeting, They locked up the apartment and drove to the meeting. It was a great success. Richie would be the host and Katie the co-host. The show would be called "AM Hawaii" and it would run from 9 to 10am, right after Good Morning America.

"Oh my god, I'm gonna be the next Regis Philbin!" Richie shouted as he walked into The Clams Pearl. "Can I be Kelly Ripa?" Larry called out from the kitchen?" Connor threw a tomato at him.
