A/N: this is a one shot fan fic, thanks for reading!
It was a normal night in the Westerly house. Mr. Westerly was helping his son, Derrick with his math homework. Mrs. Westerly was cooking dinner and talking to her other two children, Bradin and Nikki, while they played Monopoly at the table. "I got it! I got boardwalk!" Nikki said excitly, doing a happy dance. Bradin and Mrs. Westerly laughed at how excitied she got over these things. "What? It's a good investment!" she said smiling.
They all sat down to eat together. Eating dinner together was very important to the Westerly family, because it was the one time, out of the day, where they could all be together and talk. After Derrick said Grace, and then they all ate.
After dinner, the Westerly's went to the mall, because the kids needed some new clothes, shoes, basic things. "Mom, can we go to the arcade?" Derrick asked with hopeful eyes. "Sweetie, I can't take you right now." she said, giving Bradin the 'can you take him' eyes. "Derrick, I'll take you." he said. "Thanks Bradin!" Derrick said. "Hey, I want to go!" Nikki said. "Here's 25 dollars, make it last!" Mr. Westerly smiled, handing Bradin the money.
"Who wants to go on the bumper cars?" Nikki asked.
"Me, me me me me!" Derrick said.
"Me? Pass up a chance on the bumper cars? Never!" Bradin said.
After awhile, their parents came back. Nikki asked them to get on the bumper cars with them. They did and they all had a blast. One big happy Westerly family.
Once they got home, their parents were tired. "It's a Friday night, so you guys can stay up, but were going to go to bed." They hugged their kids and told them they loved them. Then they went to bed.
The kids stayed up, and Derrick was happy because Bradin was "in charge". Bradin being in charge, meant he could stuff his face with as much sugar as his stomach could hold. Derrick eating all of this sugar, resulted in a sugar high. He was bouncing off the walls!
Nikki and Bradin watched tv while Derrick was dancing around the house like a maniac. Awhile later, Bradin looked over at Nikki who was fast asleep, snoring. Bradin laughed and woke her up. "Nik, you should go to bed, I've got to try to tame this guy over here." he said, pointing to Derrick. "Okay" she said, hugging Bradin. "night" Bradin said hugging her back. "night" she replied.
Soon after she went to bed, the sugar rush wore off and Bradin got Derrick into bed. Then he went to bed too.
They all had a great day and night. Little did any of them know, it would be the last.
Review if you want to! No flamers though.
