Hello! I'm back with more stories! :) This one has the triplets when they're seven years old. ENJOY!!

Huey, Dewey, and Louie were in their room on their Uncle Donald's house boat, all in their own little self claimed area. Each were doing something different. Louie, the youngest triplet, was sleeping, Dewey, the middle triplet, was playing with a few of his toys, and Huey, the oldest triplet, was simply observing the town from the window in their room.

"Do you guys ever wish Uncle Donald would let us go out into the city? Or at least go to public school?" Huey asked, looking back at his brothers. He wasn't necessarily expecting an answer, since they both looked busy with their own thing.

"Only you'd want to go to real school Huey." Dewey pointed out, rolling a toy car across the room to where Louie was.

"Hey! Watch it!" Louie whined. "I'm trying to sleep." He rolled the toy car back to Dewey.

"But really guys, don't you ever want to go outside?" Huey asked.

"Nah, I just want to sleep." The youngest triplet mumbled, turning to his side to look at his brothers better while they talked.

"Dewey?" The red triplet looked over at his younger brother.

"Well, I guess. It would be nice to be outside sometimes." Dewey admitted, lying back on the floor and rolling the car away.

"As much as I like rules and safety and stuff," Huey started.

"Uncle Donald is way too protective." The triplets said in unison and then sighing as one.

"You're right Hue, it would be nice to go outside sometimes." Dewey agreed.

"And get some fresh air, maybe take a nap outside on the grass." Louie claimed, stretching and yawning a bit. Huey walked over to where his brothers were lying down and lied down in between them.

"Maybe he'll let us go outside one day. Right guys?" Huey looked side to side at Dewey and Louie.

"Or, we can sneak out." Dewey suggested, sitting up a bit.

"Sneak out!?" Huey and Louie said in unison, sitting up as well.

"Dewey! Are you crazy?" Huey whisper shouted. "We're just kids, I mean, what would we even do to sneak out?"

"It seems like too much work really. Can't we just ask to go outside, maybe, once or twice a week?" Louie suggested.

"I've tried." Huey claimed. "Uncle Donald always says no."

"Which is totally unfair." Dewey stated. "We're gonna go crazy in here if we don't go outside."

"Not to mention the home schooling he does is completely inaccurate." Huey explained.

"And boring." Louie added. "We should probably just give up and role with it."

"Yeah, it's not like life in here is ever going to get any better." Dewey claimed.

"You're probably right, sorry for bringing it up….again." The red triplet apologized.

"It's okay Huey, we get how you feel." The middle triplet stated. "We want to leave too."

"Yeah. To be honest, it gets kinda boring sleeping all day." Louie admitted.

"Not to mention that it's completely unhealthy to sleep all day." Huey laughed softly and poked his youngest brother's cheek.

"Ow! You know I hate it when you do that." He complained. The older triplets laughed quietly.

"You know you love us." Dewey claimed. Louie chuckled and smiled a bit.

"Yeah, I do love you guys."

"It's a good thing we have each other. It'd be awful if we had to stay in a room like this by ourselves. Without one another to keep us company." Huey explained.

"Don't even bring that up Hue. You know we hate that thought." Dewey leaned to the side, leaning against his older brother, Louie doing the same thing. Huey put an arm around his brothers, closing his eyes lightly.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry." Huey held his brothers close to him. "I'm sorry."

"Boys! Lunch is ready!" Dewey sat up, smiling and looked at his brothers.

"I was wondering when he would call us." Louie stated. He stood up and waited for Huey and Dewey to do the same. Huey stood, bringing Dewey up with him.

"Boys! Huey, Dewey, Louie!" Donald called out again.

"Coming Uncle Donald!" Huey yelled, so their Uncle could hear him. The triplets made their way to the table and sat down next to each other.

"Here you go boys." Donald placed an individual bowl of macaroni and cheese in front of them.

"Thank you." Huey said with a smile.

"Thanks Uncle Donald." Dewey, too, smiled. There was a bit of a silence as they waited for the youngest triplet to say his thank you.

"Louie." Huey cleared his throat and looked over at his youngest brother, who had already taken a spoonful of the food.

"Hm?" The green triplet turned to look at his brothers.

"Say thank you." Huey muttered in a soft scold.

"Oh, thank you Uncle Donald." Louie said quietly, a bit embarrassed that he had forgotten to thank his uncle for the food.

"You're welcome." Donald said with a smile. He went over to the sink and began washing the dishes that he had used to cook his nephews' food. The triplets began eating their lunch, talking to each other softly in some moments. Donald cleared his throat after he finished washing the dishes in the sink. Huey used his napkin to wipe his mouth as he turned to look at his uncle.

"Hm?" Dewey had his mouth full, looking over at Donald. Louie stayed quiet and continued eating, but still looked at his uncle.

"Boys, I overheard you talking in your room." The triplets froze, afraid that they would get in trouble. "And you know why I don't let you go out."

"We know Uncle Donald." Huey muttered. "We're sorry…"

"It was all Huey though." Louie claimed with his mouth full. He swallowed the food and looked over at his uncle. "He brought up the topic in the first place."

"Lou!" Huey frowned in Louie's direction. "Come on, are you serious?" The youngest sibling simply shrugged.

"Boys, boys! It's okay. You don't have to blame each other. It's a lot of responsibility to be out there in the world."

"But Huey's responsible. He can take care of us." Dewey claimed.

"Huey can't always be there for you two. Especially you Dewey." The middle triplet looked down at his lap.

"I know." He muttered. "But, what if we all were responsible, then could we go outside?"

"Well, I don't know." Donald thought about for a bit.

"Please Uncle Donald." The triplets said in unison, giving him puppy eyes. Donald sighed and closed his eyes lightly.

"It takes a lot to be responsible. It's not that easy, and Huey isn't always that responsible either."

"Please, please, please." They said at once.

"We can't stay in here all our lives Uncle Donald." Louie claimed.

"Fine, but how will you prove that you're responsible?" Donald crossed his arms, leaning back in his chair.

"Um, one second." Dewey pulled his brothers into a group huddle. "Okay, what screams responsibility?" He asked in a whisper.

"You mean besides literally screaming 'responsibility'?" Louie asked. Dewey pushed Louie away by his face gently with a small laugh.

"Yes, besides that."

"What about a pet?" Huey suggested.

"You mean like a puppy or a kitten?" Louie asked.

"Well, yeah, but not the kitten." Huey stated.

"Why not? Cats hardly do anything. It'll be an easy win." Dewey explained.

"Yeah, but, don't you think Uncle Donald will see through that?" The triplets looked over at Donald.

"Huey, it's Uncle Donald." The blue triplet claimed. "Come on, it's super easy. Plus he asked us, so I'm sure he'll agree."

"Okay...fine, but, just keep the cat away from me if we get it." Huey whispered.

"Deal." The younger triplets said with a small smirk. They sat back up and looked at their uncle.

"So?" Donald looked over at the middle triplet.

"Uncle Donald, can we have a kitten?"
