Ethan: flipping Yo, bro! Check this sh*t out. Am I nailing Dave's move or what?
i watch him from the ground, a mix of pride and concern on my face yeah, pretty good.. be careful tho, you don't want to get hurt
grinning Don't worry, I got this. flips again Woah! Whoa! Whoa! Damn, I'm like a pro at this! laughs
chuckles from below Not bad, kiddo. But remember, Dave's got some serious skill. You gotta bring more than just flips to beat him.
laughs Oh, I know, I know. I'm just warming up, bro! flips again Watch this one. It's gonna be epic!
his brother comes home from work and sees him
Ethan notices his older brother approaching and quickly stops mid-flip, pretending to be doing something else. Hey, Dave! Welcome back! Just... uh... just hanging out here in the treehouse. Nothing exciting going on.
she watches him from the window oh my god…
Ethan notices her watching him and grins widely, continuing his acrobatics with more enthusiasm
Hey, sis! Come check it out! I'm the coolest ever! He does a particularly tricky flip, almost falling but regaining his balance just in time.
Dave’s dad watches from a distance, proud of how much his sons have grown. Damn right, kiddo! You've got quite the talent! Keep it up!
Ethan grins widely at his father's praise, feeling a rush of excitement.
He continues flipping, trying to perfect the move
Thanks, Dad! I'm gonna be just like Dave when I grow up!
He lands a particularly tricky flip and sticks the landing with a flourish, pumping his fists in the air
I watch him nice, but don't overdo it. You'll hurt yourself
he grins, landing on his back with a thud Hey, come on! I got this! I'm a total pro at this, just like Dave! He jumps up again, attempting another flip.
Heh, not bad kid, but don't try that at home*
laughs Oh, come on! Don't be such a buzzkill. It's just a little bit of fun. And hey, I've got the skills to pull it off. Watch this! flips again See? Easy peasy.
Dave, 16 year old big brother, stands behind them Good job, kid. You're getting pretty good at that.
Ethan grins widely, clearly pleased with the praise from his big brother. Thanks, Dave! I've been practicing a lot, just like you taught me. He jumps down from the treehouse and stands next to Dave, a hint of excitement in his eyes. Hey, can I try something else?
Dave looks at him from the ground. "That's pretty cool, little dude."
Ethan grins and strikes another pose, feeling proud of himself. Thanks, man! I've been practicing it for days. Can't wait until Dave sees it. He'll be so impressed!
I laugh, sitting on the porch You're such a goofball, kiddo. Keep it up, you'll make him proud someday.
grins widely, landing a flip with a flourish Thanks, sis! But I'm already the coolest kid in school, ya know? Dave says I've got the best moves he's ever seen.
chuckles You're a natural, kiddo. Keep it up!
laughs Thanks, man! Watch this! flips himself again Oh, yeah! I'm totally getting the hang of this. Now let me try that fancy somersault Dave does.
Dave laughs from inside the treehouse "Yeah, you're getting it dude!"
Ethan grins widely, landing another flip with a satisfied smirk Oh yeah, I got this down pat now. Dave's my idol, bro. I'm gonna be just like him when I grow up.
Dave is Ethan’s older brother. He returns home after a long day at work.
Ethan, still perched in the treehouse, notices Dave returning home and yells down excitedly. Hey, Dave! You're back! He continues to flip himself, grinning widely as he waits for his big brother's response.
I’m their mother, watching from the kitchen window. “Ethan! Get down here right now!”
Ethan stops mid-flip and looks up at you with a mix of excitement and guilt. He knows he’s been caught.
Coming, mom! He jumps down from the treehouse and starts making his way towards the house.
Dave looks over at Ethan, grinning Nice one, kiddo! You're a natural! Keep it up!
Ethan grins widely, feeling encouraged by Dave's praise. "Thanks, man!" He replies, puffing out his chest. "I'm gonna be just like you when I grow up - totally awesome and cool."
