The show modern family was a sitcom that he was introduced during his 'Luther the bed rider' days. It soon became his go to comfort watch that gave him some peace in his past life. So as soon as he heard the name Phil Dunphy from his father's phone conversations it caught his undivided attention. There were at least a thousand plots that could take place in this amalgam of a world, but he at least got to begin with the novice village level difficulty of the modern family world.
"Who was that Dad?", he asked his father who was scrolling through his phone. He Tried to mask his excitement but some of it got to his voice. But his father was too engrossed in his phone that he didn't give much attention to his son's change in expressions. "It's the realtor son. He just said that our house was furnished and was ready for us anytime." "It's about time he called us. I mean I was worried if our furniture is gonna end up in some other address or worse.", his mother quipped.
Now that he had confirmation, his excitement did not have bounds. He was genuinely thanking the gods that he got an easier start and will be having some genuine fun if he is going to be acquainted with the Dunphys. With his imagination running wild, he gazed outside the window of the cab that he was in. After a while he could see that the urban features of the bustling city were disappearing and he was entering a much quieter yet suburban area. But he was still feeling the sleepiness that caressed his body like a lover and slowly slipped him to sleep.
After what it seemed like a few minutes he heard his mother call him. "Miguel, we are here. C'mon get your sleepy ass up and let's get out." He groggily woke up and got out of his cab to help his mother get the luggage out of the trunk with his father. After he took the luggage, he closed the trunk and took a look at his new abode. It was almost similar to what he had in his expectations. It was almost similar to what he had in his expectations. It was a modest yet fairly large house. It had a garage and there was an arch with vines that had small blooms coming out, creating an enchanting and welcoming entrance. The front yard, though not extensive, was a picturesque canvas of beauty. Manicured lawns adorned with colourful flower beds framed the house, giving it a warm and inviting aura. A cobblestone path led from the front gate to the entrance, meandering through the lush greenery. It was a modest haven, where the charm of simplicity mingled harmoniously with the elegance of nature.
Then he saw the one and only Phil Dunphy coming towards them with a wide grin. "Welcome aboard the James family. how are you all doing." He said while shaking my dad's hand. "And this beautiful lady over here should be Rosa James." He shook her hand with a jolly smile which she reciprocated. "And whassup, big man. You must be Miguel. How old are you man." He asked Miguel with his well-known goofy tone while guiding them in. "I just turned fifteen Mr. Phil. And I will be attending the Palisades High School this summer." He answered Phil while dragging his luggage in. At that comment Phil looked surprised and commented, "Oh, wow that's great M-man, oh forgive me there, I just give people nicknames sometimes. Hope you weren't offended. I was just surprised that you will be attending the same school as my daughters Haley and Alex." He nervously looked at Miguel and he couldn't help but laugh. "I am not at all offended by you giving me the nickname P-buddy and yeah I guess I might meet them in my schooldays. I am really excited too you know. New place, new school and all that. So, no worries". Phil was taken aback when he was called P-buddy and looked genuinely happy at that. "Oh well, don't worry I will tell my daughters to look out for you and you can ask for any help from them. And I will let you guys to settle down. So, see you around people." With that, after Phil talked a bit with his father, left them to settle down.

"Thank god that the house already furnished. I really have to thank the realtor man for this. I will order something for the lunch. Leon baby, can we do a grocery run now. We really need supplies for tomorrow. Miguel you coming with us?", Rosa asked her better half and her son. "I will get the car hon, give me five." Leon went to the sink in the bathroom to wash his face. Miguel had already taken a nap and just washed his face from the pipe in the lawn. So, he was not at all troubled by his mother's suggestion. "Mom, I will wait outside in the garage." With that Miguel walked to his garage and opened it. it was a fairly large garage that could accommodate 2 cars and the space was occupied with two cars that were transported here from back home. They were covered to prevent dust settlement. When he opened the bigger of the two, he saw a 2008 model Chrysler Pacifica. It was quite family friendly car and it was quite natural for a Texas based couple to own one of these in 2009. But it was when he opened the other cover that blew his mind away. It was a frickin R33-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R. Now that was a twist that he never thought he would see. He was literally gawking at that sight and was really confused. His father was a handsome dude but he never once thought that his father would own one of these. Well even though it is 2009, this is a genuinely cool car that collectors would give anything to own in his past and current life.
While he was enjoying the dark blue inline 6 engine beauty, he felt someone coming to see his father walking up to him. "I can see you are still ogling at my car Miguel… you do know you can drive it once you are of age right. So, stop looking and cover the car up." He did as what his father said and got in the family car and left for the grocery store. On the way towards the grocery store he listened to his father and mother discuss what to buy and how to mingle with the neighbors tomorrow. He was happy to have new experiences like this in his life. He was stripped of this happiness in his past life and he swore that he would cherish every little thing that are bound to happen in this life.
As he was immersed in his overthinking session, he was suddenly reminded of his AI assistant that is supposed to grant him the powers and skills in this life. 'AI, are you there?', he asked mentally. "I am here sir. How can I be of assistance?", the AI replied with the same steely and emotionless tone. 'Can you display my stats and also suggest a good skill to learn?'. "Your wish is my command sir." With that a translucent blue tinted screen appeared in front him.

'Wow, that's a really short list', he contemplated while looking at his skill bar. While he was thinking of new strategies to improve his skill levels, he noticed that he had reached the grocery store. Getting out to the parking lot, he was still zoning out while he entered the grocery store. He was thinking about the skill he should possess for the near future survival. When he was walking aimlessly, he suddenly bumped into a man who exclaimed, "Hey, you okay kid. Sorry I wasn't watching where I was going". What was funny is that the man had the gayest tone he heard in his life. And of course, in front of him was the inhouse diva, Cam looking at him with a concerned look.
