Different Faces: What if?

The One

We all want to make our parents proud... and want to make them see that we can be our own person and make it in this life. What happens when two brothers face off in proving they can be the one with fathers eyes to be the very best...

The One

Bandit and Chilli were in the kitchen making breakfast while their two kids, Thomas age ten and Levon age eight were just getting up. "I bet I can get to the kitchen first!" Thomas said, jumping out of bed. "I bet I can beat you!" Levon said, also jumping out of bed and chasing after his brother. The two raced down the hall and then entered the kitchen. Thomas touched the table and laughed. "Beat you!" Thomas said while laughing. "No fair!" Levon said, looking down.

"Did you two clean your teeth?" Chilli asked, looking at her two sons. They both looked at each other and then smiled before saying. "I can finish cleaning my teeth before you!" They both shouted before taking off to the bathroom. Chilli sighed and sat down at the table. "Don't you just love our boys," Bandit said while flipping over the eggs. "I do... but I wouldn't mind having a girl next," Chilli said with a sly look. Bandit blushed while finishing up breakfast. Thomas and Levon finished brushing their teeth and raced back to the kitchen. "Beat you again!" Thomas said with a chuckle. "Aww no fair!" Levon said. "Alright kids, time to eat," Chilli said, placing down the plates of food. "Okay mama," Levon said, wagging his tail.

The boys started eating their breakfast with their parents and then it was time for the morning park. "Come on dad!" Thomas said, wagging his tail. "I'm coming mate," Bandit said with Levon on his head. Levon was giggling and laughing while being on his dad's head. "Okay mate go catch up with your brother," Bandit said, setting down Levon. "Okay dad!" Levon said, now chasing after Thomas. Bandit chuckled before getting a kiss from his wife before joining his son's at the front of the yard. "Alright kids, let's get moving to the park!" Bandit said walking down the sidewalk. "Let's have a race!" Thomas said getting ready to run. "But you always beat me!" Levon said, crossing his arms.

"That's what makes it fun! Ready set go!" Thomas said quickly and then took off. "Hey!" Levon said, now taking off after his brother. Levon growled at himself as he started to catch up with Thomas. Levon then ran past Thomas. "I'm going to beat you!" Levon said with a smile. "No!" Thomas said, trying to pull his brother back. "Hey, you're cheating!" Levon shouted. Then Thomas tripped onto Levon making them land into the grass that was next to the park.

"Oh boy," Bandit said, now going after them. "Ow," Levon said, holding his knee with some tears. "Why did you do that?!" Thomas said angrily. "Me?! You tried to cheat!" Levon shot back. "No I didn't!" Thomas shot back. "Yes you did! You always try to beat me!" Levon said with tears running down his muzzle. "Okay, what happened here?" Bandit asked. "Dad! He cheated!" Levon said, pointing at Thomas. "No I didn't!" Thomas said, sticking his Tongue out at Levon.

"Boys! Why is everything a competition with you two? Ever since the wedding you two have been at it," Bandit explained as he looked at Levon scrape knee. "We just want to see who's better at things," Thomas said looking at his dad. "Yeah! And I know I can beat Thomas at things," Levon said looking at his dad. "Mates, you two are brothers and not everything is a competition," Bandit explained. "Weren't you the one who said big brothers beat little brothers?" Thomas said, looking at his dad.

"Never mind what I said mate, that's between me and uncle Stripe," Bandit said, still looking at Levon's knee. "Yeah you got a good scrape mate," Bandit said, now picking up his step son. "But dad, uncle Rad is older than you, does he beat you at things?" Levon asked as Bandit helped him over on the bench. "I-he that's not the point mate," Bandit said, getting a band aid for Levon.

"But he is older than you," Thomas said sitting down at the bench. "Kids let me tell you something," Bandit said sitting in between them. "You two will forever be brothers and that's important," Bandit said, putting his arms around both of them. "Why?" Thomas asked, confused. "Yeah why?" Levon asked, also confused. "Kids, we're all family now and nothing is going to change that," Bandit explained. "But it all changed for me," Thomas said looking down. "Thomas mate, I know you miss your mum but she's in a better place," Bandit said while making Thomas cuddle close to him.
