Simon and Dave are sitting at the table sitting next to each other discussing the matter .Both Theodore and Alvin and went upstairs to their room .
"Simon you really need to change yourself back . You only get one time to be kid and you will miss out on so much if you don't "Dave tries to convince his son it's the right thing to do while making it his own choice at the same time .
"But Dave I could get so much more respect as an adult .I am ready to grow up "Simon smiles at his dad proud of what he had done .
"Well ,I guess it's alright for the time being but please think about changing yourself back alright ",Dave pats his sons shoulder thinking it's just phase he is going through so he wants to be supportive .He gives him jeans and a blue tee-shirt that are the right size for him along with a gray pair of tennis shoes and glasses that fit him.
Simon smiles walking through the living room ,he stops in the bathroom and changes his clothes before heading up to the room he shared with his brothers .Theodore was laying on his bed with with his math book .He had it opened to a page and was writing the problems in his notebook answering them .
"Can I help you with your homework Theodore? ",Simon asks as he passes by him glancing over at him .
"No thanks Simon ,Dave helps me with my homework ",Theodore smiles up at his brother as he walks by .
Alvin is just giving him the evil eye .Simon noticed he had paint all over the back of his hands "Alvin what have you been doing ?",he asks ,curious to know what trouble his brother had been up to .
"Not like I am going to tell you .You'll just get me in trouble again " Alvin says smartly turning his head away from his brother.
"You will get caught eventually ,so it doesn't matter ",Simon sits on his own bed removing his shoes setting them on the floor .
"You would love that ,won't you ",Alvin glares at him giving him the evil eye again .
"No I won't Alvin but you tend to bring it onto yourself ",Simon responds almost yelling back at him .
"Well ,don't think because your have turned yourself into an adult that you can boss me and Theodore around because we already have a dad we don't need another "Alvin yells back at him .
"Well ,now that I am an adult you have to respect me like any other adult Alvin like it or not "Simon smiles loving that feeling .When he tries to lay down on his bed it felt so much smaller then before .
"This house isn't big enough for my two dads so if you want to be an adult you should go find your own place to live "Alvin yells back at him .
Theodore covers his ears "can't you two stop fighting " He lays down on his bed .
"Do you feel that way also Theodore? ",Simon asks ,glancing over at him.
"Well ,Dave is our dad and I really don't want another .You're suppose to be our brother Simon "Theodore responds biting his lip not really wanting to be apart of this conversation.
"Fine in the morning I will leave then " Simon covers himself with his blanket .
"That's just fine by us ",Alvin responds snapping back at him.
"But you can't leave Simon where would you go?",Theodore asks looking over at him .Simon doesn't respond to his question just ignores it .He closes his eyes falling asleep .
The next morning at the girls treehouse
The girls are asleep when they awoken up by a large clattering noise in their kitchen .They sit up in bed looking at each other before jumping up and running into the kitchen .When they see the shadow of an adult male in their kitchen they start to scream and grab onto one another .When the figure stands up they realize who it is and sigh in relief .
"Simon "Jeanette asks in disbelief "your an adult "She has a look of shock on her face .
"How did that happen?",Brittany asks ,having with the same shocked look on her face.
"Just a little formula of mine ",He smiles ,putting plates of pancakes in front of them "girls I need favor can I stay here for a while just until things between me and Alvin blow over ?"Eleanor looks at the pancakes picking one up ,she taps it on the table finding it hard as a rock she gets an odd look on her face .
"Sure Simon but the only place we have for you to sleep is on the couch in the living room ",Brittany looks up at him smiling .
"That's fine ",Simon smiles at them "now you better eat and get ready so you don't miss the bus to school ."
Eleanor has an odd look on her face "it's nice of you to make us breakfast Simon but from now on I think you should let me do the cooking "She pushes the plate of pancakes away from her .
"Sorry Ellie I guess I am not the best cook in the world "He takes the plate scrapping off into the garbage disposal .He pours them a bowl of cereal instead "now hurry up eat and get dressed and I will walk you to bus ."
" No offense Simon but we can walk ourselves to bus and aren't you coming to school ?",Brittany eyes him oddly again,eating a spoon full of cereal .
"I am an adult now I no longer go to school " Simon pours himself a bowl of cereal and begins eating .
At the Seville house
Alvin and Theodore were sitting eating breakfast Dave eyed them "Where is Simon boys?"He was a little concerned where his missing son was .
"He said last night he was moving out "Theodore looks up for a second before turning back to his breakfast .
"Moved out .Where would he go?",Dave started to become concerned as his two sons grab their book-bags and run out the door toward the bus .Dave peeks out the window and sighs in relief seeing Simon standing next to the girls in front of the bus stop as his two sons run over .He walks over behind them .
"Simon this is kind of embarrassing you don't need to stand here and make sure we get on the bus "Brittany ducks behind her sister Jeanette trying to hide from anyone who might see her .Dave walks up behind Simon .
"Simon please tell me when you decide to move out so I know where you are ?",Dave across his arms, comforting his son .
"The girls and I will get along just fine ",Simon smiles at his dad .
"You and the girls ? ",Dave almost chuckled he realized his son hadn't gone far so he wasn't worried "Well ,if you plan on going anywhere else, please let me know where your going "As the bus approached Dave hugged all three of his sons "have a good day kids "He said to all six of them .Brittany was still hiding behind her sister .But when the bus arrived only five of them got on .Dave eyed his son "aren't you going to school Simon?"
"Adults don't go to school ",Simon began walking away from his dad .
"Well ,Simon if your going to watch out for the girls and be the adult in the house and choice not go to school ,then you really should try and find a job",Dave smiled at his son hoping this form of reverse psychology would get him over his phase and back to himself .But much to his surprise Simon just smiled .
"Your right Dave, I will start looking right now",Simon walked away from his dad who is some what standing shocked .
