Dream was happily sat on the throne, a boy named Sapnap standing next to Techno. They both had red capes and foam swords that Puffy and Sam had made. Sapnap was pouting, mumbling to himself as Puffy readjusted his ponytail. She patted his head, causing his bottom lip to stick out further."I was supposed to be on the fancy chair..."
"Yeah? Well it's two versus one. Techno agreed that I should be on the chair," Dream said with a smile, readjusting his cardboard crown.
Techno nodded, "Dream gold. Gold pre- pree-cious?"
"Precious, Techno," Puffy said as she moved onto him, retying the red blanket around his neck, "Like how Phil's precious to you."
Sapnap crossed his arms, "Are we just going to ignore that he called Dream gold?"
"Well that's because I am gold. I have a gold crown, I'm number one in tag, and I have you two as friends," Dream said, kicking his legs, "It seems pretty golden to me."
"Shut up..."
Techno giggled as Puffy stepped down, leaving the trio to do whatever. Sapnap drew his fake sword, trying to twirl it as Dream watched.
"You can't do it."
"Yes, I can! Watch-"
Sapnap tried to twirl it around his wrist, Dream snickering as he dropped it. Techno slightly tilted his head, drawing his fake sword and testing the balance.
"I can do it, I swear-"
"No you can't," Dream said with a snicker, causing Sapnap to hit him with it, "Hey!"
"Haha!"
"Some knight you are..."
Techno started twirling the sword, catching the attention of both boys. They watched him intently as Techno hyper focused, the voices encouraging him on.
"How are you-"
Sapnap was cut off as the tip of the blade hit his throat, Techno blinking away his trance. He quickly lowered it, looking down and waiting for yelling.
"Sorry-"
"That was amazing! You gotta teach us how to do that!" Dream said as he hopped up, Sapnap rushing to his side as they stood in front of Techno.
"Yeah! You were all like wooosh and- and wooosh!" Sapnap added on, trying to copy Techno's movements.
Techno looked up and grinned, "Okay! Find sword balance then-"
"Boys! Are you ready?" Sam called, peeking over the side of the float.
"Yeah!" Sapnap yelled as they got into place.

The cheering from the parade had died down, leaving the pair to study in silence. Phil's back was slightly stiff from being hunched over the ancient texts, his hand cramped from translating incomplete sentences and stories. He glanced at Fit, who had a more focused look on his face as he scribbled translations.
Phil looked up from the table as Puffy's bell jingled, the sound of a door slamming closed following. There were multiple sets of footsteps and loud giggling, four heads peeking from over the counter. Fit looked up as well, quickly closing the books they'd been going through.
"Dad! Dad!" Techno said excitedly, causing Phil to smile and stand up straight as he rounded the corner, "Par-ade fun! Do again!"
"I'm glad, bud. Who are your friends here?" Phil asked as Techno tried to climb him.
