Daily Shenanigans of the Awesome Trio

The three best friends were gathered at the park, shooting hoops. Each of them would toss the ball around a couple times and take turns dribbling. So far, none of them had actually made it through the hoop.

"You guys will not believe what my dad did last night." Gilbert said, as he passed the ball to Alfred.

"Oh god, what?" Mathias asked as he tried to steal the ball from Alfred.

"Starting tomorrow, I'm grounded for a week! Can you believe that?" Gilbert sighed.

Alfred nodded, "I mean, yeah. You got detention on the first week of school. And then you didn't show up at your house till like, twelve in the morning." the blond said, as he shot the basketball at the tall net. It bounced off, nearly hitting the burger-lover right in the face.

The two others laughed at this and Gilbert rolled his eyes, "I know, but a week? Totally unfair. Did your parents punish you at all, Al?"

"Duh! I got my switch taken away. For a month! A month, guys!!" Alfred whined. "Now I'm stuck with the xbox and the only game I have for it is Minecraft that hasn't been updated since twenty-ten! Do you know how bored I am!?"

"What did you guys even get detention for anyways?" Mathias asked, alternating the ball between both of his hands. "And since when did you have an xbox?"

"Well..." Gilbert began, "Antonio and I got bored during study hall, so we dragged Lovino into the AV room and tried to get him to record that Mo Bamba parody we've been working on. It was going fine until Mrs. Siquemodé walked in, and ruined all the fun. Lovino and Tonio were able to outrun her, but I tripped and fell."

Mathias shook his head. "Damn, how 'bout you, Alf?" He said, passing the ball to the blond.

"This douchebag commie was spewing shit about the American space program, and I just had to put him in his place. He definitely got as angry as I did! Maybe even worse! But I swear to you, the teacher didn't even try to look him in the eye. It was like she was scared or sumn!" Alfred vented, slamming the basketball through the hoop. "Oh, sick! See that?"

Gilbert and Mathias looked at the blond with shocked expressions. "Wait... Commie? Al, did you get into a fight with Ivan Braginsky? And live?" Gilbert asked in a mortified tone.

Alfred gave him a confused look and nodded. The Danish friend shook his head, "Alfred, we know you're new here, and you've still got a lot to learn. First thing is that Ivan Braginsky is not a force to be reckoned with. You should honestly consider victim protection or something." he warned.

"Pssh, like I'm afraid of some tankie." Alfred laughed.

Mathias sighed and looked at his phone, then gasped. "Fisse! I'm gonna be late! Welp, I gotta go. See you guys on Wednesday!" The Dane said, grabbing his skateboard.

Alfred grabbed his arm and stopped him. "Wait, where are you going? I wanted to hang out later!"

"Sorry, bro! I'm babysitting Emil again! I mean, if you want, you can stop by the house, but make sure it's after six and before three. Or we could go out if you wanted. We just have to make sure that his brother doesn't find out." Mathias said, getting on his board.

Gilbert chuckled. "Damn, I wish I had a babysitter as awesome as you." Alfred nodded in agreement.

The Dane smirked, "I'm not like a regular babysitter, I'm a cool babysitter." he winked then skated away.

Gilbert took out his phone and stared at the clock as well. "Let me guess," Alfred sighed, "you have to leave too?"

Gilbert nodded. "Yeah, but I'm not gonna. Pops wants me home earlier since it's the first mass of the school year tomorrow morning, and he also mentioned something about having a surprise for me? I guess I'll just have to wait and see."
