Note: This is my first story I've ever written on this site, so I'm a newbie, and I barely know how to do anything. So this story isn't of the best quality, but I'm truly putting everything I can into it.

(Before writing this I watched through the entire series, and wrote down every little fact mentioned throughout the series)

Note 2: I do not own any of these characters, places or anything!

Note 3: This story takes place somewhere in season 4, before Dicky went to Australia

Now enjoy

It was a normal day in Boulder, Colorado. The summer sun was shining, birds where chirping, and happy kids were running down the streets. Summer break had just started for all the kids in Boulder Academy, and now everyone was all hyped up over all the possibilities they didn't have during the school year. Vacations, pool parties, eating way too much ice cream. You know, all the things you do during summer break.
For the Harper quadruplets the freedom of summer break usually meant hanging out in Get Sporty. Whether it was playing laser tag or drinking as many free smoothies as they could (typically three before Tom would start forcing them to pay). Every day wouldn't look like that though. Some days they would just stay in their pajamas all day, watching TV. And that's exactly what they were doing when they found out what they would be spending their first summer break weekend doing.

Dawn was sitting in the middle of the couch, wearing her light teal hoodie and ice cream sweatpants. She was zapping through the channels on the TV, rejecting show after show.
On the right side of her Ricky was sitting in his red plaid pajamas. He was watching the TV screen swap between all the different shows they had downloaded during the first three days of summer break.
On the other side of Dawn Dicky was sitting, trying to count all the shows that flashed by, but failing miserably. The situation was ironic, seeing as his shirt said
"You can count on me to know what's going on". Really the shirt was ironic for almost every situation he was in, as he mostly didn't really get what they were doing.
On the armrest next to Dicky, Nicky sat. Out of boredom, he was quietly tapping his fingers around on the armrest, his knees, or the sleeves of his striped pajamas.

After almost 30 seconds of just zapping through every single show, Dawn burst out saying:
"Why is there nothing to watch!?"

"Nothing?", Ricky asked.

"Dawn, we've downloaded 34 different shows, how is there nothing to watch?", Nicky added to Ricky's question. Dawn looked up at him with an annoyed face.

"Becaaause, we've already watched every single episode of 33 shows, and there's no way I'm watching dad's dog house show", she said.

A short silence followed, before Ricky broke it.

"Then maybe you should give the remote to someone else, who doesn't care about watching a show twice"

Dawn let out a little laugh.

"No way! None of you know how to choose a good show", she laughed, like what Ricky said had been a joke.

"Guys, we don't wanna go down this road again. We all remember what happened last time we went a little crazy over the remote", Nicky jumped in saying. Everyone slowly nodded in agreement.

"Then what are we supposed to do? If there's no TV, there's literally nothing to do in this house", Dicky unhappily said.

Just then Tom and Anne walked down the stairs, hearing what he said.

"Come on kids, there are plenty of things to do here!", Anne said.

"There are? I mean I thought the only-", Tom started saying before Anne turned her head back to give him an angry glare. "I mean... of course there are things to do!"

The quadruplets and Anne all looked at him with disbelief. Anne then took a quick breath, before turning back to her kids.

"Anyway! Do you kids think the house would be more fun if me and dad weren't here?", she said while trotting down to the kids on the couch. She put her hands on Dawn's left shoulder, and Dicky's right.

"Yes. Definitely", Dawn answered, and pushed Anne's hand off her shoulder. Anne let go of Dicky's shoulder too, and walked around the couch, so she was now standing in front of the quads.

"If that's the case, tomorrow, Saturday and half of Sunday will be your lucky days!", she said excitedly. The quads immediately stood up from the couch.

"What? How? Why?", the boys asked, very pumped up. Anne smiled at them, Dawn & Tom.

"Why don't you tell them, Tom?", she asked her husband. Tom smiled even wider and ran over to Anne.

"We're going on a trip to Utah over the weekend!", he said sounding just as excited and happy as the quads. The four kids' jaws dropped.

"That's incredible!", Ricky said.

"I can't believe it! First time out of the state for non-visiting-family things!", Nicky shouted.

"We need to start packing!", Dawn said, and she started a run towards their rooms, along with the other three. But for some reason Anne stopped them.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no", she said while running to stop them. The quads looked at her in confusion.

"What do you mean?", Ricky asked.

"I didn't mean that we are going", she said, gesturing to her whole family. She then walked over to Tom again.

"I meant that we are going", she said, gesturing to just her and Tom. The quads looked at her with disappointed faces.

"Then... what do we do?", Dawn asked, gesturing to her and her brothers. She then got a horrified expression on her face.

"We are not staying at aunt Jackie's, right?", she asked.

"No you're not", Anne revealed.

"Grandma's house?", Ricky asked, with a just as horrified face as Dawn, thinking of the fact that if that was the case, he wouldn't be able to go to the bathroom for the whole weekend.

"No", Anne said, relieving Ricky.

"Any babysitter?", Nicky asked.

"No, you're thirteen", Tom said. Anne quickly leaned over to Tom and whispered:
"Tom they're fourteen"
Anne then got back up.

"Well, since you guys are fourteen, we thought it might be time to give you another chance at being home alone", she said. The quads' jaws dropped again.

"That's incredible!", Ricky said again.

"I can't believe it! First time home alone for more than three hours!", Nicky shouted.

"What are we gonna do all alone?", Dicky asked.

"Oh you won't be all alone", Anne interrupted. All of the quads turned their heads towards her.

"What do you mean?", Dawn asked with a hint of worry and suspicion in her voice.

"I mean this", Anne said and walked over to the door. She swung it open, and outside the door stood Mae, Miles, Natlee, Sadie & Kipper, all with wide smiles.

"Surprise!", they all shouted.

"What is this!?", Nicky asked, obviously very confused. Dicky rolled his eyes at him.

"It's our friends, doofus!", he said and sighed. "And I'm usually the one who doesn't know things..."

The others just gave him a quick weirded out look before going back to the real matter.

"Why are they here?", Dawn happily asked.

"We thought why not let you have a couple of friends over for a two night sleepover", Tom explained. The quads' confused faces turned to extreme happiness.

"Oh myyy gooooooosh!", Dawn shouted.

"This is going to be the best weekend ever!", Ricky said.

That was the first chapter of this story, hope you enjoyed!
