To KimDavenport: Thank you for liking it, and yeah, we will be seeing the Davenports going through a lot of sibling rivalry/fluff on the way.

To LoveShipper: Yes, welcome lil' Delilah~

To AzulaTano: Well, Delilah is used for another fanfiction 'Leo's Twin Brother' where she helps out her brothers with her 4 Bionic kids. And yes, she's a tech whiz too; don't worry, the three of them will be causing plenty of invention havoc.

To Clarity665: Thanks, it means Donny's ego starts at the very young age.

Year 1983

"Mom! Mom!" Douglas and Donald ran in their house door, squealing in excitement.

"What is it?" Darlene asked popping her head out of the kitchen. She was making lunch for her kids. Her 4 year old daughter, Delilah, was drawing some pictures on the kitchen table.

"The carnival's in town. Can we go there please!" Donald and Douglas exclaimed, holding a poster.

"Sweetums, it's a school night." Darlene smiled embarrassedly.

"Aw man!" Douglas sighed.

"I told you we shouldn't have told mom!" Donald crossed his arms.

"YOU were the one who wanted to tell mom!" Douglas hissed.

"You two, go wash up, lunch will be done soon." Darlene crossed her arms sternly.

"Yes mommy!" "Okay mom." The two brothers sighed.

"What should we do to get mom and dad take us to play at the carnival?" Douglas asked.

"I don't know! We need something irresistible to let them say yes!" Donald thought.

"Donny, Dougie, what's a 'carnival'?" Delilah asked tilting her head to the side cutely.

"THAT'S IT!" Douglas and Donald beamed at their secret weapon.

"It's awesome! We get to play, ride on the merry-go round, we can even ride the bumper cars!" Douglas described.

"I wanna go there too!" Delilah whined. "It sounds so fun!"

"Pst, Dilly [Delilah] afterwards when dad gets home, you go and ask daddy is we can all go!" Donald asked.

"What's in it for me?" Delilah asked eagerly.

"You can have a quarter of Donny's candy on Halloween!" Douglas offered. "I'll add in one of my chocolate bars too!"

"Deal!" Delilah shook hands with Douglas.

"What?! it's not fair!" Donald jumped up and down protesting.

"Kids! What are you doing behind?!" Darlene asked loudly.

"Sorry mom!" the three of them echoed.

"Don't tell mommy, okay?" Donald asked as the siblings nodded.

That evening, Daryl Davenport got back and flopped down to the chair before stretching himself.

"Hey honey, how's your work?" Darlene greeted her husband.

"So-so. Farmer McGee wants to buy 10 cartoons of eggs, so I'll need to go to help mom and Dana out for an extra shift. Other than that, on a bright note, the crops are almost in harvest." Daryl told his wife before sipping a glass of coffee.

"Hey Daddy!" the three kids smiled towards their dad.

"Hey Donny, Dougie, Dilly." Their father smiled.

"Daddy, Donny was asking if we can all go to the carnival!" Douglas and Delilah chirped.

"HEY!" Donald raised his hands in disagreement.

"You wanna go to the carnival?" their parents said.

"Yes, can we go? Can we go? We'll be good! PLEASE!" The three of them begged.

The two parents thought for a while before coming up with a decision.

"On one condition: You three have to help your dad out with the egg collecting and then we'll go the carnival on Saturday night." Darlene told the kids.

"Yay! We can go!" Douglas cheered.

"I said right after you help your father out collecting eggs for Farmer McGee." Darlene corrected.

"Okay mom!" "We'll be good!" "Sure mommy!" the trio nodded obediently.

The next morning…

"Rise and shine, sleepy heads!" Daryl came inside Donald and Douglas' rooms.

"Wakey wakey!" Delilah hopped onto her brother's beds.

"C'mon, it's egg collecting time." The father beamed as the two boys remembered their agreement to collect eggs before going to the carnival.

"Okay, make sure you guys collect enough eggs okay?" Darlene gave her kids a hug and a kiss before the father takes their 3 kids out.

"Alright kids, there's about the 10 of us here." Daryl told his three kids.

There are about 10 people in the farm helping out. Their granny Daisy, their homely Aunt Dana, their uncle/Dana's husband Peter, and two of their older gran uncles Dave and Dean.

"Each us of must collect about 40 eggs. Got it? Farmer McGee will be here by noon. We've got until then." Daryl told his kids as they all went for their egg collecting.

"What about Aunt Dana or Uncle Peter?" Donald asked.

"We have to feed the cows." Dana answered.

"And I have to water the corps." Daryl shrugged.

"Dave and I have to harvest the apples." Their granduncle Dave answered.

It took them a while, because the chickens were quite moody towards Douglas.

"Ow! Stop pecking me, Mrs. Becks!" Douglas cried.

"Probably she knows you like to eat chicken, or you ate a part of her sister yesterday at dinner." Donald teased.

"How many did you collect?" Delilah asked.

"about 15." Douglas answered.

"18." Donald beamed. "What about you Dilly?"

"26." Delilah said as her brothers sulk at the sister's answer and her capability of doing things faster than they could.

"No fair!" Douglas protested as he ran to the next chicken penthouse to collect eggs, followed by his siblings.

After about 3 hours, it was almost noon.

A man with greying hair drove his truck by the family farm.

"Hey Daryl, are my 10 cartons of eggs ready yet?" Farmer McGee asked.

"Right here, Farmer McGee, fresh and ready to go!" the three kids waved at the father and the farmer.

"My my, I think you kids collected a bit more than you should have." Farmer McGee was surprised but smiled warmly at them.

"Here Daryl, 30 bucks as I have promised." Farmer McGee handed over the money to Daryl.

"And you three, here's a little extra tip for being so hardworking. Hardworking is the key to success, that's my motto." Farmer McGee smiled at the three kids as he left driving away his truck.

"How much did you got Donny?" Delilah asked.

"3 bucks!" Donald counted before jumping up and down in joy.

"I got the same too!" Douglas boasted. "Friends come and go but money is forever." [Who said this line?]

"one…two…three." Delilah counted.

"Okay you three little stinkos, get back home now to help your mother out. I'm going to close the barn a bit early." Daryl wiped some sweat from his face.

"For what daddy?" Delilah asked.

"So I can take you three to the carnival." Daryl said as the three kids cheered and ran off to their home.

That evening…

The bright orange-yellow carnival lanterns illuminated the empty field in the middle to town. The street was packed up with many people. Some were begging for a ride, some were playing games, and some were buying food from the stalls.

"Wow!" Douglas gushed in excitement.

"It's so crowded!" Donald exclaimed, clapping.

"You three better hold on tight to mommy and daddy so no one gets lost okay?" Darlene told her kids.

"Okay!" the trio winced.

"Hey look at that game!" Donald was interested in one of the carnival games.

"Hey miss lady, what's this game?" Douglas asked waving.

The worker had short strawberry blonde hair, she leaned over to see three short kids beaming.

"Hey, the name's Bailey," she beamed. "This game is to shoot down as many cans as you can. And if you shoot down more cans, you can get a prize."

"I wanna play!" Donald raised his hand. "I want to win that teddy bear!"

"That costs almost 15 cans. You sure you can win it, kid?" Bailey dared.

"Sure I can!" Donald huffed as he handed over some coins and started playing.

Needless to say, Donald failed to win the teddy bear.

"Don't worry. Hey miss Bailey, can I play?" Delilah asked.

"Sure lil' cutie." Bailey smiled.

After a while later, Delilah [surprisingly] won the big teddy bear.

"Wow, that's awesome Dilly!" Douglas gasped.

"Yeah, here Donny." Delilah handed over the teddy bear to Donald. "I won it for you!"

"Thanks Dilly, you really are the best sibling ever!" Donald's bottom lip quivered before smiling.

"I'm right here you know?" Douglas pouted angrily.

"Oh yeah, and you too." Donald teased.

"I'm in the mood for merry-go-rounds! "Delilah cheered. "Mommy can we ride on the merry-go-round?"

"Sure, Delilah." Darlene smiled.

"Whee!" Delilah, and Douglas squealed on the ride. Unfortunately, Donald got so sick in the middle of the ride, he almost threw up halfway.

"Blek!" Donald gagged.

"Oh dear, I'll take him to the washroom." Darlene picked up her oldest son before telling her husband.

"Okay. I'll see you by the food stalls." Daryl nodded.

"What's wrong with Donny?" Delilah asked.

"He's just a little too dizzy from the ride." Daryl frowned.

"I'm hungry, daddy!" Douglas groaned.

"Me too!" Delilah said whining.

"What are you two gonna eat?" Daryl asked his kids as he held each of their hands.

"Hhm…popcorn!" the two shouted.

"Daddy, can we buy a bigger popcorn?" Douglas asked.

"Why? Are you really that hungry?" Daryl looked at his son.

"No, Donny likes popcorn too, so I want to share with him." Douglas replied.

"Aw!" Daryl cooed at his son. "That's so cute of you."

"Of course, Donny's our big brother." Delilah said beaming.

"Even if he is cocky and egotistic, he's the only brother I've got." Douglas shrugged coolly.

"Okay, you say so." Daryl chuckled. "Hey kid, can I buy a popcorn, the large box?"

"Sure sir, that'll be 2 dollars." The teen said scooping the fresh buttery aromatic popcorn into a box.

"Thank you." The teen thanked as Daryl brought the popcorn.

"Hey honey, how's Donny?" Daryl asked his wife and son.

"He's doing well." Darlene smiled. "Just got a little too woozy."

"Did you guys had fun?" Darlene asked her kids.

"Yeah!" "We sure did!" "Yup!"

"What's with the popcorn?" Donald asked.

"It's for us!" Delilah said sharing some popcorn.

"Okay!" Donald smiled as the three siblings and their parents ate the popcorn.

"This is the best carnival experience ever." Douglas grinned.

"Uh-huh!" "Definitely!" Donald and Delilah agreed smiling.

Purpledolpin05: So, what did you think? And did anyone guessed the line Little Dougie said above?

Donald: Make sure to fave, follow, review.

Douglas: and feel free to suggest some ideas too!

Delilah: That's all for today!

All: Bye! *waves*
