Harrison engineers a Ferris Bueller's send-off when his best friend, Linus, quietly announces that his father is moving him to Charleston, far from their beloved Baltimore and the friendship they had enjoyed and new adventures they had planned.

Various odd complications result in Linus fleeing the African American Museum which was Harrison's high priority for him given his love of history. The script of the day flattens out, then picks up wildly when Harrison is mistaken for a Jamal and they proceed with Linus' funny friends and Harrison's protective sister, Corinne, to a swimming pool and on to a rip-roaring Pride Parade and the Gay Heaven Tea House Party!

This is far from their their happy meeting Cemetery high above Baltimore, yet their day ends with the promise to seek out a new cemetery together in Charleston.

Readers may wonder about the bonding conversations the two African American fathers have around their gay kids. As well, it would be welcome to know more about Corinne's personality and motivations.

Both young men discovered that getting so the future doesn't cause fear can be exhilarating and fun. They do rather go on too long with the deep meanings of their love and friendship.

The only "huh?" goes toward the weird white dude allowed to chase them around.
This added nothing to the plot, along with "smooches" and Parent apps.
