Team8s and Counting

156. Five and Ready to Ride!

As the morning sun cracked through the window, Sprinkle woke up from the light hitting his face. It took him a minute to fully awaken, but once he did, a wave of excitement hit him: it was him and Sack's birthday!

Not wasting a minute he leapt out of his bed, and ran over to his brother, who was still sound asleep.

"Sack." Sprinkle whispered. "Sack Get up!!"

Sack's eyelids fluttered as he started to wake up. "It's too early Sprinkle, I want to go back to bed!"

Sprinkle was starting to get a little frustrated. "It's our birthday, Sack!" He exclaimed, shaking his brother who was still in bed. "Remember, we're going to the amusement park today to celebrate!"

Sack's eyes quickly flew open, and he jumped out of bed and started bolting down the stairs. "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!" He shouted.

"Sack, wait for me!" Sprinkle came running after him as fast as he could, and the two eventually made their way down the stairs, where they were greeted by the entire family.

"Happy Birthday you two!" Barf Bag said to the twins. Sprinkle and Sack went and gave both of their parents a hug.

"I can't believe you guys are already five years old!" Donut exclaimed. "You guys are getting to be so big!"

Sprinkle grinned proudly, puffing out his chest. "That means we're big enough to go on all the rides today, right?"

Barf Bag chuckled. "Maybe not all of the rides, but certainly more than before."

"Maybe save the amusement park talk for later." Saw exclaimed. "Your auntie Pin made you guys a special birthday breakfast!"

The twins exchanged an excited glance before sprinting into the kitchen, where a stack of pancakes topped with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles waited for them. Gaty laughed at the two little boys. "We thought we'd start the day with a birthday breakfast, just for you!"

Sack gasped, looking over at Pin, his eyes wide. "Did you make these just for us?"

"Mhm!" Pin said, a smile on her face.

"Boys, what do you say to your aunt?" Donut reminded them.

"Thank you!" The twins said in unison.

"Man, I wish it was my birthday." Dimey said slightly jealous, looking at the giant stack of pancakes, though still excited for the day ahead of him.

"Dimey, I promise." Pin said. "You will absolutely be getting birthday pancakes when it's your birthday."

Meanwhile, Barf Bag went over to Coiny and Needle, who were in the living room, the computer opened in front of them, seemingly marking the map of the amusement park they had printed out.

"Okay, so mark that one as a 'no'." Coiny said to Needle, as Needle wrote something on the map.

Barf Bag started to get curious. "What are you two up to?"

Needle gave a soft smile. "Just checking all the rides to see if they're wheelchair accessible; we don't want to make any promises to Thread once we get there without knowing if she can ride a certain ride."

Barf Bag placed her hand on her forehead. "Oh my gosh, I didn't even think about that!"

Coiny raised his eyebrows, as he continued to examine the map. "Surprisingly, it looks like she'll be able to go on most of the rides, minus a couple, of course."

"Oh, well that's wonderful!" Barf Bag said with a smile. "I'm sure all the kids are going to have a blast!"

"Speaking of." Needle got ready to raise her voice. "Kids! We're leaving in about a half hour! Make sure you all get ready!"
