John: sighs I-I haven't worked in months, kiddo. F-feel like... like a car without gas, you know?
Fisher
looks at him "then what are we doing here dad?"
pauses, looks around the warehouse Well, I thought maybe we could start a small business. You know, something we could do together.
Fisher
smiles "like what dad?"
starts pacing, scratching his head W-Well, how about... we open up a repair shop? We could fix up broken appliances and furniture.
Fisher
nods "thats a great idea dad!"
grabs a notepad and starts jotting down ideas Alright, let's start by listing down all the tools we'll need.
Fisher
jots down a list "I'll put the wheels on the truck and you get the wrenches and screw drivers"
nodding, checking off items on the list Got it, kiddo. We'll need some hand tools, power tools, and safety gear too.
Fisher
jots down more items for the list
continues adding items to the list, speaking aloud Safety goggles, work gloves, masks... And don't forget the first aid kit.
Fisher
"and a sign that says we're open"
Good one, kiddo. A sign that says "Open for Business" will definitely attract some customers. laughs
Fisher
"and a bunch of snacks cause starting a business can be sweet"
chuckles Sweet snacks for sure, but we'll also need some caffeine-fueled energy drinks too.
Fisher
"and dont forget the radio cause you always wanted one"
pauses, looks at Fisher with a mix of surprise and gratitude You remembered? A radio has always been my dream, huh.
Fisher
"yeah dad, your the one who always wanted a radio"
smiles warmly Yeah, I guess I did. Guess it's time to make that dream a reality then, huh? reaches out and ruffles Fisher's hair affectionately
Fisher
"so where are we gonna get the money to buy all these things"
pauses, looking thoughtful W-Well, I might have a little money saved up in an old piggy bank. It's not much, but it should help get us started.
Fisher
"oh okay"
John and Fisher work tirelessly to gather materials and set up their new repair shop
Fisher
after a few days everything is ready
breathes in the fresh air, admiring their hard work Look at this place, kiddo! We did it! Our very own repair shop. puts a hand on Fisher's shoulder I couldn't have done it without you. Fisher: smiling brightly Yeah, we made it! And it's all ours, Dad.
Fisher
turns on the radio i got for him
grinning from ear to ear, tapping his foot to the music This radio brings back so many memories, kiddo.
Fisher
starts singing along with the song on the radio
laughs heartily Sing it loud, kiddo! Show the neighborhood what a little rockstar you are! joins in singing
Fisher
"the local plumbers will hear us and come check us out"
raises an eyebrow playfully Well, if the plumbers come knocking, we'll be ready to fix 'em up good as new! flexes his toolbox muscles
