Young Scott

The door opened to see Scott's mom, probably coming back from work. She had a couple of plastic bags in her arms. She then closed the door, sighing in relief.

A little head popped out from behind the couch. It was a cream with chocolate brown haired boy, with yellow eyes, like the sun. He had on some dolphin pajamas with a dolphin head as a hat. His name was Scott!

When he saw that his mother came home, he squealed with joy and started jumping up and down. He came waddling like a penguin to meet his mother, and then hugged her, smiling brightly.

Mrs. Lee:"*giggles* Well good morning little dolphin! I see that you're still in your pajamas. How come you haven't taken a bath yet?"

Young Scott:"Mommy! I don't wanna bathe! I like my dolphin pajamas!" He was pulling on her leg, making a sad face, pouting his lip.

Mrs. Lee:"Well...if you go and take a bath, you can still be a dolphin. Also, I have a little surprise for you AFTER you bathe!"
She was shaking one of the bags that she had in her hand.

The last part that she said got Scott intrigued. He was very determined to see what his mother had for him. So he immediately ran to the bathroom, took off his clothes, and got into the shower.

Twenty minutes later, Scott came out of his room wearing a shirt with starts plastered all around it, and cyan short pants. His hair was messy, hair strands all around his head. He ran out of his room and started hopping at his mom's feet. His mom looked over at him and started to smile while finishing the dishes she washed.

Mrs. Lee:"Well! You dressed pretty well!" She dried off her hands with the kitchen towel.

Young Scott:"I wanna know what's in the plastic bag now! Please?" He was shaking in curiosity, his feet tapping on the wooden floor repeatedly.

Mrs. Lee:"Alright! Alright! Wait right here!"

She then steps away from the kitchen sink, and begins to take out the 'surprise' that she brought.

She takes out a full round medium cheesecake, it was a strawberry cheesecake with cherry glaze, topped with small chocolate Hersheys. A plastic cover was covering the cheesecake.

Luckily for Scott, his favorite snack as a kid was cheesecake. I mean, he LOVED cheesecake. So this was basically heaven for him.

Scott immediately started jumping up and down in glee.

Scott:"Cheesecake! Cheesecake! CHEESECAKE!" He was smiling brightly, his eyes gleaming. His mom started to laugh a bit.

Mrs. Lee:"I got this from Aunty Masie, the one from the bakery down the street? She gave this to me as a nice gesture! Especially for you!"

Scott:"Yay! Tell Aunty Masie that I told her thank you! Also tell her that I love her so much for this!"

Mrs. Lee:"Hahaha! I'll make sure to tell her that! Now I'll cut you a slice while you sit and watch TV, okay?"

Scott:"Okay!" He then skips over to the couch, jumps on it, turns on the TV, and begins to watch his Paw Patrol, the repeated theme song playing on the TV.

A few minutes later, his mom brings him a slice of cheesecake, she also put on a cherry that she got from the fridge.

Scott:"Thank you Mommy!" He takes the plate of cheesecake and begins to eat it gleefully.

Scott as a little kid was basically a personal sunshine in the household. He's a very cheerful and optimistic boy, and still is. He was confirmed as 'The Neighborhood's Sunshine!'.

Few years later, he's now 14, he looked back at his pictures on the dresser. He had one where he was on the swings, laughing. It's not like he was not happy now, he still is! He did missed the days where he was very cheerful and optimistic.

Where he didn't have to worry about passing classes and forgetting about homework.

And also the days where you would be considered cool if you had a fidget spinner.
And if you were lucky, a $20 bill!

Those were the days! But, the life he's living now isn't THAT bad either!

He then was determined to ask his Mom and Dad a question...

Scott:"Hey, Mom? Dad?" He stepped out of his room.

Mr. Lee:"Yes, Scott?" He was doing something on the computer, probably reading some business emails. He looked up at Scott.

His mom, who was in the living room, drinking some juice, also turned her head around to see what Scott had to say.

Scott:"After you had Ariel, did you ever think that she was better than me? Or..more easier to deal with?"

Mrs. Lee:"Scott! You know that we don't choose favorites in this household! We love you both equally-"

Mr. Lee:"Your mother's lying. You were a lot easier, and a lot cuter too. That baby face of yours stayed with you for YEARS! It was honestly very cute!"

Ariel:"Wha- EXCUSE ME!?" She slid out of her room with an angry, pouty face on, folding her arms.

Mrs. Lee:"No! No! Well....Scott was a little more disciplined..." She took a sip of the orange juice while looking away.

Ariel:"HMPH!" She folds her arms angrily. "What was wrong with ME that you take Scott as your favorite!?"

Mrs. Lee:"One, again, we do NOT have favorites out of you two! And two, you weren't easy to calm down..."

Mr. Lee:"I will never forget the nights you wake me up at 3 in the morning, keep crying for about two hours and then go to sleep. Sometimes you throw up on me! Scott was tired of it too."

Scott:"Ah- Wait- Really!?" He was pretty surprised that he was the more disciplined one out of the two. He always thought that Ariel was the easier one to be dealt with.

Ariel:"Oh come on! I could of at least be a LITTLE bit of fun to deal with!"

Mr. Lee:"Well, you weren't the worst, I can tell you that! You were really energetic, so that was a fun time with you!" He was looking back at his computer, not taking sight of any of them.

Ariel:"HMPH!" She turned back around and stomped into her room.

Mrs. Lee:"I'm sorry Ariel! We can talk later?" She lightly shouted after her, but she didn't get a response. She felt really embarrassed for that.

Scott's dad continued to look at his business emails. Scott just awkwardly stepped back into his room, and continued to do whatever he was doing.

End of Chapter.
