This is a fan fiction. It is meant to be read for fun. No copyright of Family Ties intended.
Part One: (takes place sometime in Season 7)
Alex strolls into the kitchen, brief case in hand. Dressed in his usual attire, suit jacket, tie, slacks. Smiling from ear to ear. Andy is sitting at the kitchen table with a glass of orange juice in his hand. A Wall Street Week and Ronald Reagan coloring books are opened on the table. A box of crayons next to them.
Alex: Andy! Just the person I wanted to see. I have a surprise for you.
Alex opens his brief case. He pulls out the latest issue of The Wall Street Week.
Alex: Is this great or what? I mean, I've dreamt about this. A multi-million dollar merger. We're talking investments, stocks, portfolios....
Alex runs a hand through his hair.
Alex: I'm getting too excited. Here you hold it.
Andy takes the magazine. He starts reading the caption on the cover.
Andy: The merger of Simco and Trinity Inc. have produced what could possibly be the largest mid-west deal to date. Expected revenue in the billions over the next five years. The merger was for $402 million dollars. The merged companies now will be called Simtrin. See page 14 for details.
Andy looks up at Alex with eyes wide.
Andy: Wow!
Andy and Alex give each other high fives. Jennifer and Mallory enter the kitchen.
Alex: I can't wait to show this to everyone at the bank.
Jennifer: Let me guess, another meeting of the short and pompus is being held right before our eyes.
Alex: Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer. If you only had a clue.
Mallory: About what?
Alex: Mallory, the concept would go way over your head.
Mallory: In that case, I'd rather not know. If I have trouble sleeping later, I'll make sure to come see you. That should put me to sleep.
Alex: I resent that.
Andy: Yeah.
The phone rings. Mallory goes over and answers it.
Mallory: Hello?
Nick: Uh, Mal, can you come over? I need to talk to you about something.
Mallory: (hesitates): Ok. What's wrong?
Nick: Maybe it's easier over the phone. You see, I, uh, I'm moving.
Mallory: What? Where?
Nick: My aunt, you know, the one who used to live here? Well, she moved and she's not doing well. I want to go help her. Also, some of my old friends live by her.
Mallory: What about me?
Nick: Well, that's what I was going to talk to you about. We can't stay together.
Mallory: Why not?
Nick: Well....
Mallory: You don't want me to go with you?
Nick: Uh....
Mallory: How can you NOT want me to go?
Nick: It's not your kind of place.
Mallory: What's that supposed to mean?
Nick: Um...
Mallory: Fine. My family and friends are here. You go your way and I'll go mine.
Mallory slams the phone down.
