![]() ![]() The shining moment during Greg's extended family's visit is when Greg finds a Magic 8 Ball under Rodrick's bed. Greg is relieved when his dad asks Aunt Gretchen and her twin boys to leave after only two days, since one of the boys called the cops when there was no more ketchup in the refrigerator. ![]() The family starts off getting along but ends up in a big to-do over Meemaw's missing diamond ring. When Easter does finally come, there is even more family than he expected, since many of the extended family members came into town for the holiday. Greg goes into great detail about his family, naming and describing many members of the family and the different reasons why they all drive him crazy. However, his mom drops a bomb on the entire family: her family - Greg's aunts and cousins - are coming into town for Easter. With everything going on at school, Greg was looking forward to Spring break so that he could relax at home. Greg tries to turn Fregley into his funny sidekick, but his plan backfires when Fregley becomes so popular that Greg is crowded out. Greg teaches Fregley how to do what Rowley used to do: scout for dog poop so Greg doesn't step in it, carry his books, and play Five-Second Rule at the lunch table. Greg decides to take on a boy named Fregley to see if he can mold Fregley into the kind of friend he wants. Greg doesn't consider any of the boys at his lunch table his friend, so when Rowley and Abigail leave the table for the Couples Table, while Greg might still put up with the table's games such as French Fry Friday and Five-Second Rule, he doesn't have anyone to talk to, play with, or walk home with. The frustration Greg expresses is not only with not being able to spend time with Rowley playing and having fun, but also at being left to do things like look out for dog poop. Aside from being a tad bit jealous and confused that Rowley has the girlfriend and not him, Greg is frustrated that he is left alone to face his walk to and from school by himself, carry his books by himself, blow chocolate milk bubbles by himself, and play with the snowballs he and Rowley froze for a later date, also by himself. The main reason for this series of diary entries is because Greg's best friend Rowley has a girlfriend and is spending all his time with her. From there, Greg sees everything else as spiraling downward and it isn't until he starts making decisions for himself that Greg begins to see his luck change. Greg's luck begins to go downhill when his best friend, Rowley Jefferson, starts spending all his time with his new girlfriend, Abigail Brown. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck tells the story of Greg Heffley, a middle school boy who can't seem to catch a break. ![]()
