Just pretend this was posted on the 14th, for the weekly video after Peter's birthday 

The video opens to Tony, along with Peter, Ned, MJ, Harley, Ismay, and Betty sitting on the couch in the living room.

"Hey guys, welcome back to the Ironfam!" Peter says brightly. "Today, I don't know what video we're filming because Dad won't tell me! Congrats, you know more than I do."

"I'm about to tell you all, if you would shush," Tony rolls his eyes. He turns back to the camera. "So, today, I've got all six of these guys doing a challenge that could win them quite a large sum."

"Why are you talking like that," MJ says, deadpan.

"So," Tony continues. "If you don't know, Stark Tower has a pool. It's on floor 14, which is why the tower doesn't have a 13th floor, because that's where all the water is."

"Also cuz 13 is a scary number," Ned adds.

"This is 11 erasure," Peter declares. "11 is objectively the scariest number."

"Also, 7 is pretty spooky," Harley says.

"Why is 7 scary?" Ismay asks.

"I assume because 7 is a prime number, and prime numbers can be intimidating," Peter says.

The boys glance at each other, and burst into laughter, while the girls all roll their eyes. Tony merely looks confused.

"I... I don't understand that reference," he says.

"Now, if I could actually get around to informing everyone what we're doing," Tony gives Peter a light glare.

Peter gives a 'go ahead' gesture, which Tony rolls his eyes at.

"Today, we are doing the Last to leave the pool wins $10,000 challenge," Tony declares.

"Oh, god," Peter groans, dropping his head into his hands.

"Fun," Harley and MJ say casually.

"Like, an actual real $10,000?" Ned asks.

"So how this is going to work," Tony continues explaining. "I've written a bunch of budgets on pieces of paper, and stuck them in a hat. They're all $50 increments between 50 and 300, so the lowest is $50, the highest is $300, and they're all multiples of 50 in between. You're each going to draw a budget, and then we're going to Target, where you can buy whatever you want using whatever amount you got. Then, we'll come back, show everyone what you got, and then it's off to the pool. You get a swimsuit, plus whatever you buy, to last as long as you can without leaving the pool. Everyone understand?"

"I think so," Peter shrugs.

There's a general murmur of assent.

"Great," Tony holds up the hat. "Budget picking time."

"Ned's not happy," Peter laughs. Everyone else is laughing around him. "He got the lowest budget, $50. Then Ismay got $100, MJ got $150, Harley got $200, I got $250, and Betty got $300."

"This game is rigged," Ned laments.

"We've barely even started," Betty says.

"Of course, you're fine with the way budgets turned out," Ned rolls his eyes. "You got the highest one."

Betty shrugs. "Can't help it if luck is on my side."

"Ok, we're at Target," Tony declares. "Here's a twist - you've all got 20 minutes to buy anything you may need and meet me back at the car. Everyone got a camera?"
