(Ik this one isn't realistic, but just ignore it K? XD)

"Alright. We're almost there." Josh spoke in what was little more than a whisper, his voice reaching his five brothers, who were sitting cross-legged in a half circle around him, but not an inch past the walls of his room. In his arms was a piggy bank, with chipped paint and scratch marks. Of course it was well worn, it hadn't been empty since three years prior, when Simon had first had the idea.

JJ had always wanted a Lamborghini. He kept pictures of his dream car in a little folder, and he would always stare longingly at the sleek seethrough walls of expensive car dealerships as he drove past to take a kid or two somewhere in his boring-but-spacious Toyota. And so, naturally, Simon had gotten the brothers together one day, and brought out the (at the time) new piggy bank and said "we're going to buy Dad a Lambo." And so it began.

Three years later, on JJ's birthday, and the Piggy bank was nearly overflowing. Josh and Tobi had contributed nearly the entirety of their income from work each week, as well as making extra by, for Josh, mowing lawns in Summer and shoveling snow in Winter, and, for Tobi, babysitting all year round. Simon and Ethan, unbeknownst to JJ, had been doing extremely well on their shared gaming channel on YouTube, and had added all of their money to the pile. Vik had been making money in his own way; buying boxes of candy from local convenience stores and selling pieces at school for double the price, and Harry, with his extensive video game skill, had been playing high priced wager matches against kids in higher grades. Altogether, it had finally added up.

Josh grinned at his brothers and sat down across from them, setting the piggy bank down. He took a small mallet from his back pocket and rapped on the bank until it cracked satisfyingly down the middle, spilling coins and bills. There was silence for a while, too long, as the brothers counted, and suddenly

"Guys, we did it." Quiet, from Ethan. Tobi let out a relieved laugh, Josh grinned widely, Ethan and Simon hugged, and Vik and Harry yelled and high-fived.

"Let's go" it was Josh who spoke, and the boys nodded, diligently packing all the money neatly into Josh's wallet.

Only Josh and Simon ended up going to the dealership, considering that the car they were about to buy was a two-seater, it had been Simon's idea, and Josh was the one who could drive.

The car took Simon's breath away. The moment he saw it it felt like the dream he had had for so long had finally been made a reality. The lambo was sleek, orange in colour but its reflective surface seemed to make it every colour at once. Simon drew his hand along the side, reveling in the luxuriousness. Josh walked over to him.

"Hop in." He said, smiling and giving his brother a hug. "Dad gets home in like a half hour."

All six brothers were standing in the driveway when JJ got home, no one willing to miss their father's expression. The Lamborghini was in the garage, out of sight.

JJ pulled into the drive, and raised an eyebrow at his children. He emerged from his car, briefcase slung over his shoulder.

"Hi?" He said hesitantly, and trudged up the pavement.

"Hi dad." It was Simon who spoke. "Happy birthday. We wanted to give you a pre-" He broke off in happy tears, but continued sloppily. "A present to let you know how much we appreciate everything you do, and just- that you're the best dad ever."

JJ smiled at his son and held his arms out, his own eyes welling up with tears. Of course, his mind was only picturing a lovely card or a homemade cake, but even so, he was infinitely happy with the sentiment. Vik and Harry were the first to run into their father's arms, and he lifted them up one after the other as they giggled and embraced him tightly. Next was Tobi, and then Josh, and Ethan.

As Simon walked towards JJ, Josh smiled secretively, winked at his brothers, and pressed the tiny remote behind his back. The garage door opener.

JJ buried his face in Simon's shoulder, his eyes closed, and Simon spoke lightly in his ear.

"Open your eyes dad."

JJ's eyes flitted open, and his jaw dropped. The garage door was now fully open, and standing, shining in its interior was an orange Lamborghini with a giant red ribbon on the top.

"Wh...wha- How-" JJ fumbled speechlessly, his eyes widening as he struggled to comprehend what he saw. Simon stood back and let out a choked, tearful laugh.

"Happy birthday dad." He said for the second time.
