Pumpkin Paul (part 2)

Half an hour passed before Paul was done with his morning routine and ready to have a blast on this special day of him.

It was always his request to celebrate it exclusively with his family only.

Not hoping for a grand celebration but Paul expected for them to greet him with a surprise.

It had always been the one with breakfast in the movie room, in the back patio near the swimming pool, or in the rooftop then the rest will be spending the whole day playing with his siblings despite their age gaps.

Paul and his sisters; Hope and Sofia, never did really grow when it comes to those things, they still find playing games; either outdoor or indoors, fun and exciting.

Given the fact that their parents were always goofing around and loves to spend quality time with them.

The moment Paul reaches the last step of their stairs he almost trips because of a string that had been tied into it.

He knew in an instant what this means.

A large bucket of cold water spilled from the top of him before he could even react.

"How come I didn't see it." He told himself.

Paul turned around and was about to get back upstairs in his room to change into fresh and dry clothes when he felt that he had been shot in the back with a foam bullet followed by a crumpled paper.

"It's my day people, not another April fool's day!" He shouted.

He knew his siblings anywhere hiding nearby and watching him.

Or it could be his parents, he never knew.

He then grabbed the crumpled paper that lands on the floor to check it out for he thought it had a note inside but turns out he was wrong.

Just a plain crumpled paper that had been thrown unto him.

"Better get your gears or you'll end up in tears!" Paul heard Sofia before she threw him a water balloon then ran away from him.

"Sofia!" Paul frowned then watches her ran away.

"Catch me if you can, birthday boy!"

"You better ran fast, you'll pay for this, I just bought this shirt yesterday!"

"Kuya, your vest is in the living room po and your water gun." Basty approached him.

Paul noticed that Basty was all geared up, wearing his vest, and had his water gun in his hands too.

"Okay, now I get what's happening here." He said.

"Bash, you're not supposed to help him!" Hope shouted then fired her water gun towards Paul before making a ran towards Basty. "Let's go!"

"Ang daya niyo ni Sofia!" Paul irritably groaned.

It was the third time he had been shot with water and already soaking wet.

"Just go get your gears and be ready for a battle!" Hope shouted at him from distance. "And by the way, happy birthday manong Paul!"

Paul hurriedly ran towards the living room to get himself geared up but then on his way his sisters had been shooting him.

Making it a bit hard for him to get himself ready for the fun battle.

"You all wanna water gunfight, I'll give you a water gun war."

"Run!" He heard them screamed then saw them ran around the house.
