INT. FAMILY LIVING ROOM – LATER THAT DAY
INT. FAMILY LIVING ROOM – LATER THAT DAY
The living room is now bustling with activity. SOPHIA is setting up a checklist on her laptop while the brothers scurry around, gathering supplies. The atmosphere is lively, with music playing in the background.
Sophia
(calling out)
Okay, team! Let’s stick to the plan. Tommy, have you got the decorations?
Fourth TOMMY
(holding a box of streamers)
Right here! I even found some glow-in-the dark ones!
Sophia
(smiling)
Perfect! Just don’t hang them too low. I don’t want anyone getting tangled like last time.
LUCAS enters with a stack of folding chairs.
Elder Brother ,LUCAS
I got the chairs. We need to set them up outside before it gets too dark.
Second brother. BEN
(walking in with a speaker)
And I’ve got the entertainment! You guys are going to love this.
BEN pulls out a set of juggling balls.
Sophia
(raising an eyebrow)
No clowns, remember? Just music and maybe a game or two.
Second brother. BEN
(pouting jokingly)
Fine, but I’ll show you my juggling skills later!
JACK, sitting quietly on the couch, looks up from his sketchbook.
Third brother, JACK
What about the cake? Shouldn’t we figure that out before everything else?
Sophia
Good point! Finn, you and I need to finalize the food. I’m thinking we get Dad’s favorite chocolate with caramel filling.
Youngest brother FINN
Likewise, I can help with the frosting. I’ve been watching those baking videos!
Fourth TOMMY
Yeah, but can you handle it without an explosion?
Everyone bursts into laughter. SOPHIA tries to regain focus.
Sophia
Alright, enough joking around! We need to make this birthday special. We want Dad to feel appreciated.
Elder Brother ,LUCAS
He works hard for us. It’s time we show him how much we care.
Second brother. BEN
(playfully)
And we can do that with the inflatable gorilla!
Sophia
I’m serious, Ben! If you bring that thing, you’ll regret it.
Suddenly, the doorbell rings. SOPHIA goes to answer it, revealing a package on the doorstep.
She brings the package inside, and the siblings gather around, curious.
Youngest brother FINN
Maybe it’s Dad’s gift?
SOPHIA opens the box, revealing a beautiful star-shaped lantern.
Sophia
Oh! It’s the lantern we ordered! This will look amazing in the yard.
She holds it up, and everyone admires it.
Third brother, JACK
It’s like a sixth star for the party.
Sophia
Exactly! Let’s hang it up as a centerpiece. It’ll remind us that we’re all connected, even when we’re apart.
Fourth TOMMY
(teasing)
Wow, getting sentimental, huh? You’re really in touch with your feelings today.
Sophia
(playfully rolls her eyes)
Shut up, Tommy. Just help me hang it!
As they hang the lantern together, the atmosphere shifts from playful to heartfelt. The siblings laugh, working together to make everything perfect
Elder Brother ,LUCAS
Looks great! Just like our family.
Second brother. BEN
Yeah, a little chaotic but still shining bright.
They all nod, their bond evident as they look around at their preparations.
Sophia
Okay, team. Let’s finish up and get everything ready for Dad. We’re going to make this the best birthday ever!
The siblings cheer in agreement, their excitement palpable as they continue working together.
INT. FAMILY LIVING ROOM – NIGHT
The living room is dimly lit, decorated with colorful streamers and the star lantern glowing softly in the background. The table is set with food, and the atmosphere is festive. DAD enters, surprised by the scene before him. The siblings shout “Surprise!”
Dad
Wow! You guys did all this for me?
Sophia
Of course! You deserve it, Dad. Happy Birthday!
DAD walks over, enveloping SOPHIA in a warm hug.
Dad
Thank you, sweetheart. This means the world to me.
The brothers join in, forming a group hug around their dad.
Second brother. BEN
(playfully)
And just wait until you see the entertainment!
Third brother, JACK
Yeah, no clowns. Just the coolest birthday ever.
DAD laughs, looking around at his children with pride.
Dad
I’m the luckiest dad in the world. Thank you all for making this special.
As they gather around the table, laughter and love fill the room, their bond stronger than ever.
