Dear Phil,

36

Tesa: Smash bros? I'm so down

Dan: come over at 130 we'll be home by then

Tesa: where'd you take them?

Dan: they wanted taco bell

Tesa: now I want taco bell :(

Dan: sucks to be you

Dan: I'll be here enjoying tacos

Tesa: go fuck yourself

Tesa: oh wait that's Phil's job

Dan: ...

Dan: you are uninvited

Tesa: Matt will let me in

Dan: we are no longer talking as I am enjoying my taco

Tesa: stop making me jealous! I really want a taco...

"Dan, it's not polite to text when we're eating," Matt informed him.

"I know, sorry guys," Dan said sheepishly. He slipped his phone into his jeans. "Hey, did we get nachos?"

"Sorry, we ate them when you we're texting," Adrian said with a giggle.

Dan put his head down. "Day. Ruined." He mumbled.

His brothers cracked up.

"Of course one of your controllers broke!" Tesa exclaimed, pushing past Dan and into the kitchen.

Dan winced. "Well... We haven't used them in so long, so... It's probably just out of battery."

"Whatever, we can take turns. Now let's do this!" She exclaimed, running into the basement.

Matt and Adrian were already there, playing a warm up round. Dan didn't miss the way Matt suddendly flushed red and started to try harder when Tesa entered.

"Sup my children? How have you been?" Tesa asked, plopping down on the couch. "Ready for me to beat your asses?"

"Language!" Adrian pointed out, rapidly pressing his controler in an effort to beat Matt.

"What? Ass? That's just another way of saying donkey. Right, Dan?" Tesa prodded.

Dan rolled his eyes but agreed. "Yeah, it's technically not a swear word, Ade."

Adrian was too focused on winning. "YES!" He screamed as he beat Matt.

Matt shrugged. "Whatever," he said nonchalantly.

"What is this?!" Tesa gaped at him. "Is Matt all grown up? He doesn't even care about winning anymore!" She clutched her heart dramatically.

Matt blushed. "I wasn't even trying..." He trailed off.

"Well then, try now! Let's go, one on one!" Before anyone could do anything, Tesa grabbed the controler from Adrian and started a new match.

Unsurprisingly, she beat Matt. "Ha! Shows you!" She mocked.
