Drew beeped the horn of their father's car as they pulled into the driveway of the Atkins', quickly jumping out afterwards. The door opened within seconds, Jeff jogging down the stairs to see his best friends; Jenny and Harris Atkins coming to stand on the front porch.

'Hey, Mum and Dad,' Drew waved.

'Hey, Bailey,' Harris replied.

'Hey, my second parents,' Bailey greeted as she leant on the car door.

'Hey, Drew.'

The girl smiled fondly at the name, hugging Jeff as he rounded the car to see her.

'Is it ok if we steal Jeff for a few hours? And possibly do something stupid?' Drew asked.

'De, you're not supposed to tell them that,' She hissed as she laughed at her brother.

'Sorry.'

'Yes, you may,' Jenny smiled.

'Just don't do anything too stupid,' Harris stated.

'Never,' Jeff winked.

'Let's go, guys,' Taylor called from inside the car; 'Or Drew will talk more and you'll be locked away in your rooms for the rest of eternity.'

The teens laughed and got in the car as the adults spoke, all of them sitting in the back seat of the car.

'So, where we going?' Jeff asked.

'Well, we still owe you your epic birthday present,' Bailey explained.

'Which was due four months ago.'

'And we finally decided on it,' Drew grinned.

'What is it?' Jeff spoke slowly.

'Secret.'

The boy groaned as he fell back into the seat, looking at the twins before he shook his head.

'Alright then,' He threw his hands up; 'Let's do something stupid.'

The siblings high fived over Jeff, grinning like mad men. Taylor drove up the street and toward the centre of town, not knowing exactly what the twins had planned either. He pulled up out the front of Monet's, letting them out, before sticking his head out the window.

'Don't do anything too stupid,' He stated firmly.

'Yes, Dad,' The Matthews' replied together.

'And if you're getting a tattoo, here's your money.'

Bailey and Drew looked at each other shocked, their eyes wide. They slowly looked back at their father, the shock evident on their faces.

'Yes, I know Bailey got a tattoo,' Taylor chuckled; 'Choose a good shop and don't get anything extreme or silly, please.'
