Chapter 1
Tired
On a Friday afternoon, Bandit was, unfortunately, playing tickle crab with his two kids. Right now he was running away from them in the kitchen.
"You'll never catch you cheeky tickle Crabs," he said as he got on the table with a broom
Tickle, Tickle, Tickle. Said Bingo and Bluey
Bandit used the Brush of the broom to shove his Kids. Bandit then jumped off the table and ran to the small food cabinet and hid from his Kids. Chilli walked near the Cabinet drinking a Juice Box. The kids came into the scene still playing Tickle Crab. Looking for their Father.
"Hey kids, I think you should check that Cabinet. For some reason I think your Dad is in it". Chilli suggested
The kids ignored her and started to walk to the kitchen again. Chilli, Annoyed by their weird decision. Opened the Cabinet Door revealing Bandit eating a bag of Cheese Chips
"Ah Biscuits," He said as he got out and ran into the living room.
Chilli And the kids ran after Bandit. Chilli tackled him to the ground And held his arms up. Allowing her kids to torture him with Tickles.
"AAAAAHHHHHH NO PLEASE. NOT THE TICKLE CRABS". He said, bursting his laughter out.
"Tickle, Tickle, Tickle". Said the children
Even though Bandit was having fun. Well not really he hated Tickle Crab. He was losing his Breath And gasping for air. The constant tickling, Was starting to get to him.
"GUYS PLEASE, HAHAHAHAHAHAH. I CAN'T BREATH PLEASE". Bandit cried.
"Aww, big Dog says he wants more" Said Chilli still holding him.
GUYS FOR REAL I CAN'T. HAHAHAHA. Bandit was wheezing at this point.
While his kids started tickling his feet. Bandit accidentally swung his Foot too hard and accidentally hit Bluey in her face. Making her hit the ground on the back of her Head.
"AAAAAAHHHHH, MY HEAD". cried Bluey as tears started to run down her face.
"BLUEY" yelled Bingo and Chilli as they both went to comfort her. Bandit was on the floor, Trying to catch his breath. When he did, he was shocked to see his daughter crying.
"Huff…Huff..what happened to Bluey?" He panted.
"You Kicked her in the face, Bandit. Why did you do that," she said, giving him her angry face.
"What, it wasn't my fault, I told you I couldn't breathe. And why were you holding me down" He defended himself
"I was just playing around Bandit. You Didn't Have to use your Brute strength on her." She said,
"And you could have stopped holding me down. When I told you, But you didn't". Bandit said.
Bandit got up And went to try and comfort his daughter. But Chilli got up and stopped him from getting close. Giving him a stern look. While Bingo was trying to comfort her crying sister.
"Look she's not in a good mood, So get out of here". She said
Bandit was shocked by her reaction. He wanted to argue, But it would just make the situation worse. He was pissed off at what his wife was doing, But he complied.
"We're gonna talk about this later. You don't have the right to tell me to piss off. When my daughter is in pain". Bandit said, walking to his Bedroom.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Bandit was in the Bed, Still mad from what Chilli had said. He wanted to see how his daughter was doing. But like always he just listened to her whenever she thought she was right. It wasn't his fault, They just didn't listen to him.

Chilli entered the bedroom. Bandit moved a bit to the Right, To give her space.
"You didn't have to kick in the face Bandit. You could have broken her skull" She said
"It was not my fault Chilli, And you know it if you just didn't Hold me down. I could have just run away. And Bluey didn't have to get hurt" Bandit said, trying to keep his cool.
"Plus it was your turn to play with the kids. I Was Supposed to Watch the Cricket Today". He added.
"You Know I Can't play tickle crab. Becau-"
"Yeah, yeah because of Brandy. Look I get that, But you have to Understand that sometimes you have to Suck it up. You couldn't handle all the Harmful games. I had to Play with the kids". Bandit said
"Psh, I play with the Kids just as much as you do Bandit". Chilli said.
"Yeah, But you couldn't handle being a sheepdog, Or being hit by a bunch of stupid toys, Or even just being tickled". Stated Bandit.
"I can do it all Bandit, except tickle crab". She said as she lay to the side ready to go to sleep.
……………
"Oh really" Bandit put the *I have to go tomorrow for the whole day. And you have to take care of the kids the whole day excuse paper* (They couldn't find a better name for it) And it just happened to be Bandit's turn.
Oh, no not the Excuse paper" Chilli said rolling over the Bed to see a smiling Bandit.
"What's the occasion, Bandit"
"Well, it's been a While, Since me and Guys. Went out on a fishing trip For Barras. And tomorrow Is supposed to be a Sunny day, Plus you said you can play Any Games the kids want. So I want you to Feel what I Feel on a daily basis".
Chilli gave him a scowl
"Unless you think you can't handle it, Chilli?"
"Oh please, I can handle it all day,'' Chilli said. It wasn't her first time taking care of the kids alone. So how different could it be?
"Without, Getting angry at them. Or having to call me"? He said.
"I won't even text you for the whole day," She said grinning.
"Alright then, I'll just call the boys" Bandit took out his phone and first called Patrick.

"Hey, Patrick. I was wondering if you wanted to go Fishing For Barras tomorrow in the City with me".

"Why can't you go Patrick"?
"Oh Shark accident, Well I hope you feel better mate. I'll talk to you later"

He then called his brother Stripe.

"Hey brother, I was wondering if you wanted to go fishing with me tomorrow. Chilli is gonna take care of the kids all day".
"Oh Cool, let me just talk to her about it".
Bandit put the call on mute.
"Hey Chilli, Brad, And Frisky are visiting tomorrow. And stripe wanted to know if You, Trixie, And Frisk. Could take care of the Kids tomorrow in the house".
"Yeah that's ok, At Least I'll be getting more help". She said
"Good, ok they can come tomorrow. And make sure to bring a few Beers. Just in case we don't catch anything. I'll see you guys at 8 in the morning". Bandit hung up
8:00 IN THE MORNING
Stripe and Bandit were outside of the house. Waiting for Their brother Rad, To pull up with his huge Truck.
"Did Rad tell you he was also bringing his kid," Stripe said, putting on a hat?
"What, Rad never said anything about having a kid. When did that happen"? Bandit said also putting on his hat
"Well about 12 months ago after the wedding. Rad and Frisky got…Well you know, they got a little Frisky. And they forgot to use protection, So 9 months later. Josh is born". Stripe explained.
"Oh, that's why he hasn't called me for 9 months. Probably too busy with the kid.".
"BEEP BEEP" Rad's Truck came up the Hill And parked right on the Sidewalk. Not caring that his car was breaking the Cement.
"Sigh how am I gonna explain that to the homeowner?" bandit said. Covering his eyes.
Rad and Frisky got out of the car. However, they both had Bags under their eyes. Rad looked like he hadn't slept in days. While Frisky looked like a tired sloth. She was holding their Baby, a little red Heeler, with blue legs. Covered with blankets. Bandit and Stripe greeted their brother.
Hey brother, how's it going? Didn't know you had a kid. How's the little guy? Bandit said, shaking his Hand.
"Oh, you know how it is, lacking SLEEP. And not being able to SLEEP enough". Rad said
"Yeah that always happens. Just wait till they're three though". Stripe and Bandit said in unison.
Frisky went up to the door and knocked on it. Chilli opened the door, and Trixie went up to greet her.
"Hi Frisky, nice to meet you, I'm Stripe's wife, My name is Trixie". She greeted her.
"Hello stripes wife, My name is Fwisky and this is Timmy my son". She said half awake, showing her son.
"You had a kid, Why didn't you tell me"? Chilli Asked
"I'm sorry but Johnny and I have to take a little Nap, Nap. If that's ok". Frisky said almost falling to the ground.
"Y-yeah just go to the kids roo-"
"Ok thanks" Frisky said as she walked to the stairs.
"What's up with her?" Trixie asked.
"My guess is the baby, you know how it was for the first year" Chilli said.
"Don't remind me"
"Mum, why is Aunt Frisky sleeping in my bed"? Bluey said while walking up to her mum.
"She's a little tired sweety, Let's just go and say bye to your dad". Chilli said.
Bandit and his brothers, Were done loading everything in the Truck.
"Alright that's everything, Are you ready to drive Rad"? Bandit said.
Rad was sleeping on the ground, Taking a bit of a Dirt nap.
I'll put him in the Back of the seats, Just make sure we have everything. Stripe said, struggling to pull his older Brother. Bandit checked on the back of the Truck. Making sure he had everything. He then saw his wife, And kid walking up to him
"Alright honey, Well be back by 8" He gave her a kiss on the mouth. And then looked down at Bluey, She looked a little scared of him. He got to her eye level.
"Hey sport, I know what I did yesterday was wrong. But hope you could forgive me" He said, holding her shoulder.
"It's ok Dad, And I'm sorry, That I tickled you too hard. I won't play tickle crab ever again" She said, hugging him.
"That's good to hear mate, But you Mum, And Aunt are gonna play whatever you kids want. For the whole day while we're out. Bandit said, looking up at Chilli.
"Except tickle crab," She said.
"Yup, Anything But Tickle Crab. Got that man". Bandit said Booping his daughter in the nose, She giggled.
Bandit Got inside the Truck where His two Brothers were waiting. Stripe was on the driver's side, And Bandit was on the passenger side. Stripe hit the horn as he sped away from the Heeler house.
"I hope we catch some barras, remember when. Fished all the time when we were kids, Stripe". Bandit said as he got comfy in his chair.
"Yeah, when we didn't have kids. And have to hear them say, way, wah, wa-"
"DENNIS, WHERE'S THE BOTTLE FRISKY. WE HAVE WORK IN THE MORNING". yelled Rad, As he held Stripe by his neck a bit too hard. making him drive worse than a teenager.
"STRIPE, WATCH OUT FOR THAT OLD LADY"
