SOPHIA
(annoyed)
Can you all stop talking at once? I can’t think straight with five of you going off like fireworks!
Elder Brother ,LUCAS
We’re not fireworks. We’re more like strategically aimed cannons.
Second brother. BEN
(snorting)
Says the one who never leaves the house. I’m the cannonball around here
Sophia
(muttering)
More like a cannon full of bad jokes
Third brother, JACK
(speaking quietly)
So, what’s the plan, then?
SOPHIA takes a deep breath, collecting herself.
Sophia
Okay, here’s the thing. I know we all have different ideas on what to do about Dad’s birthday surprise, but we need to decide together. We can’t have another "cake explosion" incident.
Fourth TOMMY
(grinning)
Hey, that was one time! And Finn started it.
Youngest brother FINN
(defensive)
How was I supposed to know baking soda and vinegar weren’t for baking?
Everyone laughs except SOPHIA, who stays focused.
Sophia
(sighing)
Listen, I know I’m the only girl here, but I’m tired of playing mediator. You guys need to let me take the lead on this. I’ve got a plan that actually works, if you’ll just trust me for once.
Elder Brother ,LUCAS
We trust you, sis. But it’s five against one. You sure you can handle all of us?
Sophia
(Playfully)
I’ve been handling you lot my whole life. This is easy. Now, here’s the plan: Tommy and Jack, you two are on decoration duty. Ben, you’re in charge of the entertainment no clowns this time. Lucas, you’re on logistics. Finn, you’re with me food prep. Got it?
The brothers look at each other, nodding their heads. Even BEN, though he rolls his eyes, agrees.
Second brother. BEN
(clownishly)
No clowns, fine. But I’m still bringing the inflatable gorilla.
Sophia
(serious)
You bring that thing, and I’m putting you on dish duty for a week.
Youngest brother FINN
(laughing)
A whole week? You’re tough!
Sophia
Someone has to be. Five brothers and but only Girl here. I’ve got to keep you guys in line.
Fourth TOMMY
(teasing)
Who said you’re the boss?
Elder Brother ,LUCAS
(mocking serious)
She is, Tommy. She’s always been. Face it, the sixth star of this family shines brightest.
They all nod in agreement, smiling warmly at SOPHIA.
Sophia
(grinning)
You’re lucky I love you guys. Now, let’s go make Dad’s birthday epic!
