*~*~*~*~*~*~*~We open up the story at Jakob's house. There Jakob sits down on his couch watching a rerun of Ranger Texas Walker sipping his beer. Levi comes parading into the living room and sits next to his dad.*~*~*~*~*~
Levi: Daddy?
***Jakob watching the TV set intensely and comletely unaware of Levi's presence***
Levi: DADDY??? (tugging Jakob's Armani suit)
Jake: *awakens from his trans like state* Huh? What are you up to now?
Levi: Daddy I wanted to ask you something (says it with a cute smile on his face)
Jake: Ok shoot.
Levi: Can we have a Christmas tree?
Jake: Levi, you know we don't celebrate Christmas.
Levi: But I want a Christmas tree!
***Paige enters***
Paige: What are you two talking about?
Levi: Mommy tell daddy to buy a Christmas tree!!
Paige: Well sweetie, your father will have to decide that.
Levi: (as if about to cry) But daddy doesn't want a Christmas tree.
Paige: (looking at Jakob) Come on, let's get a Christmas tree. It's perfectly harmless.
Jake: Ok ok, we'll get a Christmas tree!
Levi: YAY!!!! (jumping up and down)
Paige: Well if your going to get it, you better buy it now so you can get a nice one.
Jake: Right now? I'm watching a show right now! Ok fine. Let me call Rami and see if he wants to go with me.
***Levi's still celebrating his victory and prancing around Jakob. Jakob calls Rami and Rami offers to pick up Jakob and go hunting for a Christmas tree***
~*Door bell rings*~
Jake: Levi don't open the door. I'm coming!
**Levi rushes and opens the door**
Levi: Uncle Rami!!
Jake: Levi I thought I told you to wait!
Rami: Hey little squirt! (picking him up) Man your getting heavy. Here's a chocolate for you.
*~Levi quickly takes it away*~
Rami: (putting Levi down) So are you ready?
Jake: Let's get going.
*~*~The guy's get out of the drive way and head on over to different shopping centers in search of the "perfect tree"*~*~
Rami: How about this one?
Jake: Nahh the branches seem to be falling off.
Rami: Well they're all like that man. Might as well get one of those.
Jake: I don't want to buy just any tree. It has to be special.
Rami: Great!
Jake: Let's call Mike and see if he knows of any other places with trees.
*~*~ Jakob uses Rami's car phone to call Mike*~*~
Jake: Well he said to go to his place and pick him up.
Rami: Can't he just tell us where to go?
Jake: No he said he wanted to show us this secret place where he gets his tree.
Rami: *sigh* Ok (turning on the engine)
*~*~They finally reach Mike's house and Mike quickly hops into the car*~*~
Rami: What's in the bag Mike?
Mike: Oh you'll see.
Jake: Where are you taking us too?
Mike: Just go out the city limits man.
Rami: Hmm I don't like the sound of this...
Mike: Trust me.
*~*~ After hours of driving Jakob get's annoyed at Mike not telling him where they were going. Then they passed a sign saying they were exiting California~*~*
Rami: What the hell?!! Where are we? Mike where did you take us?!
Mike: Just park here.
Jake: What are we doing here?!
Mike: (messing with his bag) Tadda!! (takes out and ax)
**both Rami and Jakob look at Mike puzzled**
Jake: No way!
Mike: Hey you wanted a fresh Tree I got you a fresh tree!
Rami: (laughing) I can't believe you made us drive all the way out here for a tree!! That's the last time I let you take us anywhere!
Mike: Hey we better start looking for the tree instead of complaining and whinning.
~*~*~The guys get out of the car and Mike takes the ax and some rope with him.*~*~
Mike: Well Jakob you pick the tree.
Jake: Is this legal?
Mike: Who cares whether it's legal or not. No one's watching!
Rami: What so this is illegal?!
Mike: Hurry up and start chopping!
Jake: (thinking) I've never broken the law before. But I didn't make this long drive for nothing. Might as well take a tree.
Mike: Come on which one?!!
Jake: That one right there. (pointing at it)
Rami: I shouldn't be doing this (and gives the tree the first smack with the ax)
*** Rami continues to cut the tree until the tree finally falls***
Rami: (yelling) TIMBER!!!! I always wanted to say that hehe!
Mike: Shh!! Someone might hear you!
***Blue and red lights are seen flashing***
Jake: Oh no, don't tell me!
Mike: Sh*t!! It's the police!!
Rami: Quick lets carry the tree!
Jake: Leave the tree lets get out of here!
Rami: Oh no I didn't do all this chopping for nothing. Now grab an end!
***They all grab a part of the tree and try to walk as fast as they could***
**They finally get to the car an quickly toss the tree on top of the car***
Rami: Ahh the car got scratched!!
Mike: Forget that hurry tie your end of the rope!
A loud voice says: YOU ARE IN A RESTRICTED AREA. YOU ARE UNDER ARREST. PLEASE WAIT IN THE VEHICLE FOR THE OFFICER.
Jake: Damn it they saw us!!
Mike: Everyone quick get in the car!
***They all get in and Rami turns on the car.***
Mike: Step on it Rami!
Rami: What?! Now we be come fugitives from the law?!
Jake:
Step on it! (pushing Rami's foot on the peddle)
Mike: Yeah we'll be on America's Most Wanted list, Rami just calm down!
***Rami tries to loose the the cop and finally does successfully***
**They drive a long way back to L.A.**
Rami: (driving into Jake's drive way) Well were finally here.
**Levi comes rushing out of the house**
Levi: Mommy! Mommy! Daddy brought the Christmas tree!!
Paige: What took you guys so long?
Jake: (getting out of the car) It's a long story.
Levi:
(looking at Jakob) Thanks daddy, your the best daddy in the whole world! (hugs Jakob)
****Jakob knew what he did was wrong but in the end it felt so right****
