The door opens again, but it does not wake Michel Pal, Arthur, nor D.W. The people in the doorway are Jane and David. When they both see Michael, Arthur and D.W. asleep, they both look at each other and smile.

FADE TO:

INT. THE KITCHEN - MORNING 8.45 am

Jane and David are sitting at the table, David is drinking coffee from a mug.

Arthur enters the kitchen, followed by Michael with Kate in his arm and D.W.

All three kids called. " Mom! Dad!"

They both give each of them a hug.

David smiles. " So, how did everything go last night?"

Jane seems to be amused of something. " Was it as bad as you thought it would be?"

(Arthur and D.W. look at each other.)

Arthur shrugs with a smile. " You know, it was better than I thought it would be."

Michael noded. " Yeah D.W. eventually started to act OK."

D.W. smiles sheeply. " And Arthur told me a bedtime story when I asked him to."

Jane smiles. " Well, I'm glad that it went well, that was very responsible of you boys, and you too, D.W., you guys grow up so fast!"now!

Michael smiles. " No big deal Mom, Arthur was downstairs playing while i was reading. And Kate was very easy." Michael looks over to Arthur. " But, Arthur forget his pill yesterday, but he was only a bit dizzy, nothing to worry about!"

Jane frowns. " I found one of the pills at the kitchen window with an glass with water! Arthur, you had forgotten to take it."

Arthur scratches his head. " Oh man, sorry mom. I was interrupted by something!"

Jane sighs. " Arthur, please take your medicine as you have to, okay? And Michael, if something is wrong, call us the next time!"

Michael noded. " I know Mom but I didn't want to ruind your good time beside nothing happend." don't worry

David gets up and walks to the refrigerator. " And you handled it so well, i´m proud of you." He opens the refrigerator, but is shocked to be engulfed by a butterfly net as soon as he opens it. " What the-" He yells. " D.W.!"

D.W. looks embarrassed. " Oops sorry about the butterfly net dad. I, uhm ,tried to keep it fresh!" Her father shook his head, half amused, half annoyed.

Michel looks over to his brother. " Arthur what's the matter? Why is your head down?"

Arthur shook his head. " I m fine Michael, just a little headache!"

Jane frowns. " Are you sleepy?"

Arthur yawns. " A bit dizzy again, i know i forgot my pill and D.W. woke me up in the middle of the night. I take a nap on the ride to the family photo event."

Michael facepalms. " The photo! I forgot, we must get our best clothes!"

David laughs. " Calm down, just a fresh shirt and your good jeans are enough! And Arthur, the doctor said you can take the pill in the morning when you forgot one the day before, and then tomorrow the next. Alright?"

Arthur nodes. " Okay dad!" He stood up Jane filled a glass with water from the sunk, then he took his pill and drank the water.

When they finished breakfast, David claps in his hands. " Alright Read´s, let's go! In fifteen minutes at the front door! This will be fun!"

Michael and Arthur share a look, D.W. stood up and ran upstairs.

Both boys said at the same time what they thought. " Hope so!"
