Techno and Wilbur are age 9
Tommy is age 3

Wilbur jumped out of the way has techno swung his sword at him. They always play fought since they were younger, it was their thing. Wilbur and Technos swords clashed until Wilbur had scraped up knees and Techno had a scraped up hand.

They walked inside their house, finding their dad, Philza, sitting on the couch and Tommy playing on the living room rug. Phil quickly went to grab the first aid kit from the closet and knelt down in front of his sons. "You boys have to stop playing so rough."

Philza dabbed Technos hand with antiseptic, "We were just having fun." Techno said cheerfully.

Philza wrapped up his sons hand and then grabbed another cotton ball for Wilbur, "I know but you can't keep getting hurt like this, you have to be more careful."

Wilbur winced at the stinging the antiseptic caused but the feeling quickly went away and Philza placed a big bandage on his knee. "Okay." Wilbur and Techno said in unison.

Philza finished patching up Wilbur and decided it was time for lunch, while he prepared sandwiches Wilbur and Techno sat down with Tommy on the rug. The three brothers played until they were called into the kitchen, "Can we eat outside today?" Wilbur asked hopefully as Techno helped Tommy into a chair.

"Sorry bud, it's too hot outside." Philza placed all of the sandwiches onto their small dining table.

"Aww." Wilbur lowered his head down and walked over to the table, sitting next to Techno. He soon cheered up when he started eating his sandwich, but very soon Tommy had walked over to Wilbur and climbed into his chair. "Wilby!"

"Does he have to sit on my chair?" Wilbur didn't like this arrangement and Tommy was trying to grab his sandwich. Philza got up and picked up Tommy, taking him away from Wilbur and letting him sit on his own lap. Tommy started crying but calmed down when a sandwich was placed in front of him.

"Can we go outside again?" Techno asked eagerly when he finished his sandwich, the rest of his family was still eating.

"Promise you won't get hurt this time?" Philza said to both Wilbur and Techno.

"Promise!" Techno and Wilbur both said, Wilbur wasn't done with his sandwich but he would rather sword fight again. The two boys quickly left the table and ran towards the back door.

"Wait, you need to fini-" Philza tried to say but the boys were already outside, leaving behind Wilburs half eaten sandwich.

"Still got you haven't I?" Philza said to Tommy who was biting a piece of sandwich Philza had cut up for him. Tommy nodded and climbed down from the chair, and started to try to run after his two older brothers. Philza quickly took the last bite of his sandwich and then picked up all the plates from the table. He placed them in the sink after throwing away the uneaten sandwiches, he knew no one would end up eating them anyway.

Tommy was desperately trying to get to the back yard but Philza wouldn't let him because he didn't want him to get hurt. They sat back down in the living room and Tommy quickly became distracted by a toy car. Philza turned on the television and an hour later Techno came running in the house. Philza heard him rummaging in the closet loudly for a few minutes and then running back outside.

Philza got off the couch and went to go check on the boys, he saw the closet door open with at least half a shelf's contents thrown onto the floor. He pushed open the back door to find Wilbur sitting on the ground with his arm dripping blood. Techno was sitting in front of him, the first aid kits contents thrown around them.

Techno grabbed a cotton ball and tried pouring antiseptic on it but ended up accidentally pouring out half the bottle. He went to start cleaning Wilburs cut but Philza had already made his way to them. "What happened?"

Techno lowered his head guiltily and Philza knelt down next to the two boys, "Are you okay Will?" Philza asked as he started to clean up the cut.

"Yeah, it wasn't Technos fault!" He blurted out.

"I know," Techno felt better and raised his head again, "I told you guys to not play rough though." Philza said.

Tommy had somehow made his way to the garden and walked in front of Techno facing Wilbur, "Wilby!" He tried to walk over to Wilbur but Techno held him back. Luckily Philza was too focused on patching up Wilbur he didn't say anything about Tommy.

Techno brought Tommy back inside, which caused a lot of crying from Tommy until he got distracted by another toy car in the living room. "Do you think dad is mad at me?" Techno asked Tommy just for someone to talk to.

"Hmm," Tommy did this whenever he was asked a question because he had seen Wilbur do it once, "No!" His favorite word right now also happened to be no.

Techno laughed and waited for Wilbur and Philza to come back inside. He wasn't scared of the punishment, he was scared the Philza would be mad at him. When they did come back inside Wilbur was his usual happy self, but all Philza did was give Techno a hug and then sat back down on the couch. "How does a movie sound kiddos?"

Techno was glad Philza wasn't mad and immediately jumped onto the couch and cuddled into Philzas side. Wilbur sat next to Techno and Tommy was on the other side of Philza resting on his leg. They spent the night watching movies and eating a pizza that Philza ordered. The three kids ended up falling asleep while watching the 2nd movie, Philza carried them up to bed. It was a normal but perfect summer day.
