Max's forced smile falters for a moment as Jaden's bright grin fills the doorway.He stands straight, trying to appear nonchalant,but his eyes betray his true emotions.A spark of jealousy ignites in his chest,fueled by the feeling of being overshadowed by his cousin's charismatic presence.

Vincent greets David with a formal handshake. Both of them squeeze each other's hands to see which one of them is stronger and after a brief moment of intense eye contact,both the brothers burst into fits of laughter and give each other a warm hug. Clara smiles and pulls Ellena in a hug as well,she notices the other women's radiant appearance, which could only be caused by one reason. She glances at her bulged stomach and says softly,"If I am not wrong then congratulations is on the way?"

Ellena's eyes widen and she looks down and nods slowly. Her cheeks turn red, and Vincent who was staring at them since a longtime understands the reason by it. He cheerfully gives his brother a strong and proud pat on his back,while David fakes a back pain. Vincent bends down to Jaden's level and ruffles his hair.

"You are going to be such a good elder brother!" In response to the praise, Jaden puffs his chest,places his right fist on the left side of his chest and announces,"I indeed will be the best elder brother to my little brother or sister!"

All the adults share a heartfelt laughter. Just then Clara gently places her hand on Ellena's elbow and speaks,"Believe me Ellena,the day your second child is born,Jaden will appear extremely mature and responsible... You will miss his childish acts!" Ellena smiles while Clara takes a trip down the memory lane,she remembers how a four year old Maxwell stayed away from her for five days. When they returned home with Carl,he placed a kiss on the younger one's forehead and flicked his hair. Not to mention all the sweet whispers and hour long goodbyes, before Vincent would tuck Max in bed.

While the adults were engrossed in a conversation that seemed to have no end, Max's gaze lingered on them, his eyes fixating on Jaden with an unsettling intensity. The way Jaden commanded attention with every word and gesture made Max's heart race with resentment. His eyes narrowed into slits as he glared at the purple alien, whose mesmerizing presence seemed to render everyone else oblivious. Just as his anger was reaching a boiling point, a gentle touch on his hand snapped him back to reality. He looked down to see a yellow alien, and his instinctive reaction was to push the creature away. A faint cry echoed through the air, and Clara rushed to comfort Carl, who was now lying on the floor. The sudden commotion brought Max back to his senses, and he rubbed his eyes, as if trying to shake off his wild creativity.

Vincent walks close to Max with an angry expression and grabs his arm harshly. This startles Maxwell and his pupils dialet as he is not used to such treatment.

"Maxwell Wynter!That was not expected from you!" Max continues to look at his father before glancing at his uncle and aunt,who seem rather suprised by the act.He looks down with embarrassment because he considers himself the golden child,and being scolded infront of his family who admire and praise him a lot felt pathetic.He clenches his fist as his father calls David and Ellena inside, and Jaden follows suit.

He continues to stare at the floor, mentally promising himself that he will regain his composure and even get Jaden's gift,which is a jeep. He turns around and sprints with his small legs to the hall. He notices Jaden sitting on the sofa and swinging his legs while observing the room,meanwhile Clara along with Carl was in the kitchen and Ellena was sitting on the chair. His eyes travel to the gift for a moment,just then he feels someone's strong hand and huge fingers on his shoulder. He looks behind and finds his father staring at him with loving eyes.

"I am sorry for scolding you earlier my boy,"He ruffles Max's hair and he smiles,"now go ahead and play with your brother Jaden. Make sure that you do not remove any toys because none of us want Ellena to get hurt right?"

Max nods and gives his father a hug. Vincent and David share glances and join the women in the kitchen. The curtain behind them closes and Max joins Jaden on the sofa.

"So, Jaden, how's school going?" Max asks, trying to sound casual as he plops down beside Jaden on the sofa.

"It's okay," Jaden replied, "the teachers are firing us with loads of homework but I still manage to complete it despite my football coaching."

Max grins, feeling a surge of pride and his eyes twitch when he hears Jaden mentioning about football coaching.
"I'm the best student in my class," he boasts."I always get straight A's and my teachers love me alot! Oh not to mention I am always the captain of my football team during our PE classes!"
Max lies about the last part,but no guilt reflects on his face.

Jaden looks at him with admiration. "Wow, that's amazing, Max! We should definitely have a match later, to see who is the best!"He adds and laughs.

Max's grin grows wider."Yeah, I'm a genius and an all rounder er-- we can definitely have a match some day," he says,puffing out his chest.

Then, he has an idea. "Hey, Jaden, want to play with me?" he asks, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

Jaden smiles and agrees.Max whoops with excitement and jumps up from the sofa. "Let's get out all the toys!" he exclaims,racing over to the shelves.

Despite his father's warning, Max begins to pull out toys left and right, until the hall was filled with a rainbow of colors and sounds. Jaden laughs and joins in, and soon they were both lost in a world of play. Jaden was lost in his own storyline,and dashed two cars and kept blabbering something.Max decides to seize the chance,as he eyes the gift on the table. As he walks closer to it,he realizes that the size of the table is much more than him.He narrows his eyes and tries to see which angle in the best before jumping and grabbing the corner of the table.

After few moments of calculation,he jumps and grabs the table. His eyes are fixed on the gift and his heart races with excitement to grab it. The table starts wobbling dangerously,and it cannot bear Max's weight and seems to fall on him. The curtains open,and Ellena who was here to call the boys for lunch stands there shocked.The notices a glass plate with chocolates,the huge gift and Max clinging to the table. The fall could seriously injure him and without giving it a second thought,she rushes to save him. In the hurry she fails to notice a car on the floor,and she slips. A fearful scream leaves her mouth, which brings rest of the adults out of the kitchen.

Luckily Ellena lands on her knees and hands and not her stomach."Ellena!" David screams and rushes to her side, and so does Jaden. Max is shocked by the sudden turn in the events. He leaves the table and lands on his bottom. The table stables with a huge thud sound,the gift falls on the other side and the chocolates land here and there.Vincent takes lead of the situation and runs to grab his car keys. Clara glares at Maxwell,as she had not expected such a behavior from him. Meanwhile,the boy could not help but simply stare the mess which he had created... And he knew that there will be consequences to face soon.

In a bright yellow room,a lot of screens are seen.The room is surrounded by transparent glasses on three sides, which holds the happy memories of the people worldwide. A bar graph is seen, which shows the ratio of happiness throughout the centuries. Just then a loud beep is heard and Happiness who was sitting on her chair,stands up.

"What's going on?" She wonders and zooms in her touch screen.Her eyes widen as the witnesses the entire scene which takes place at the Wynter's home. "Oh my... That little accident almost coasted the unborn baby's life. Maki!" Happiness summons her magical partner,an glowing animal which looks like mewto. "Maki,I want you to provide me the history of this kid named Maxwell Vincent Wynter. An eight old boy who lives with his family in Down Town road."

Happiness keeps an eye on her screen as she sees The Wynter's rushing to the car. Vincent takes the steering wheel, while David sits with Ellena on the backseat and Jaden slips in the co driver's seat. Clara along with Carl and Maxwell sits in David's car and they follow Vincent's car as they drive to a nearby hospital. A chim sound is heard and Maki hands a book to Happiness.

After flipping through the pages, Happiness understandsthe background of the situation.After closing the book, it floats in air before disappearing.

"Alright Maki,seems like you have take over the headquarters for a few days," Happiness stretches herself and looks at the screen as Maxwell rushes out of the car and follows his mother,"this seems like a long fly!"
