“DAZA!” was all Phil heard before he slowly opened his eyes to the blinding lights and Tommy's face looking down at him.
“DAZAAAA LOOK OUTSIDE!” Tommy jumped on top of his dad, trying to wake him up.
“Tommy, calm down mate,” Phil said, chuckling at his 4-year-old before putting his warm feet on the cold ground. Come to think of it, the place was a little colder than before.
“Daza the-there is white, like everywhere! And everything was white and pweety! What's going on?” Tommy stuttered, trying to make it seem like a bigger deal than it really was.
Phil smiled at his son and picked him up. He began his walk over to the big window downstairs in the living room, Tommy’s mouth flew open at the sight before him. His little kid brain was melting at the sight of snow. To be fair, it was his first time witnessing snow.
“You see that Toms? Philza asked, holding Tommy in his arms. “That’s snow.” He said like he was telling an old tale. Tommy squealed with joy, excited as he tried to pull away from Phil to explore outside.
“But,” Phil stretched out, “You can’t go outside alone okay? I want you to wear your winter gear before you step outside.” Phil said, carefully putting Tommy down on the floor again.
“Where is my winter gear?” He asked innocently, Phil smiled and held his hand, “C’mon,” They walked back upstairs, Tommy clutching onto Phil’s index finger and waddling away.
They reached the messy closet which held everyone’s winter and rain clothes. Philza helped Tommy get ready, putting on his jacket and his mittens. The worst part was the shoes. Tommy refused to let his dangling feet stay still and kept trying to attack Phil and laughing when Phil had to back away a few times, trying to avoid Tommy’s feet in his face.
“If you refuse to wear these shoes, we won’t be able to play outside,” Phil finally said, after a few minutes of the shoe kicking.
Tommy instantly became as still as a stone, making it easier for his dad to put on the tiny red boots.
Phil told Tommy to clear his toys from last night while he got ready and walked back downstairs.
Upon reaching downstairs, he was given another surprise. Both the twins were sitting on the kitchen table, 4 bowls on the table.
They occupied 2 out of the 4 chairs on the table, so Phil took a seat in front of them, grabbing his bowl.
“Well this is a pleasant surprise,” Phil said, smiling at Techno and Wilbur, before reaching for a spoon.
“Dearest father, we have prepared the best dish in the entire kingdom. Fresh cow juice mixed with tiny balls of happiness. Served in the finest bowls in town.” Wil recited, Techno rolled his eyes.
“It's called marshmallow cereal, and we got ‘the fresh cow juice’ from the fridge,” Techno said simply. Phil laughed at ‘cow juice’.
As soon as Phil finished eating and put his spoon down as if on cue, Techno and Wilbur both said. “Can we go outside now?”
Phil pretended to think for a minute, “You can go after you wear proper clothes, and take your brother of course. Now be careful, this is his first time in the snow and I really don't want to take any of you to the ER.”
“Yes dad,” they both said in sync once again, then ran upstairs. Phil took this time to get ready as well, he got up and cleared the table, then headed for his room.

About 10 minutes later, Everyone gathered near the back door. Fully decked out in winter gear, ready for a tiring snow day.
Phil opened the door to let the kids outside, and as soon as the door opened all the way, Everyone bolted out the door. Phil laughed, then walked outside, closing the door behind him.
Tommy was running around in excitement, squealing after touching the cold snow, then backing away, then coming back to touch the snow.
Techno was working on a snowman, and Wilbur was making snowballs, probably to chuck them at his twin.
“Tommy! Come here!” Wilbur called out, Tommy dashed his way towards Wil, Tommy saw balls of snow on the ground, and immediately questioned them.
“They are called snowballs, you make them and then throw them at people, look,” Wilbur demonstrated by throwing one of the balls towards a wall. Tommy laughed in excitement, he took one himself and aimed it at the unsuspecting Technoblade, who was now joined by Phil to work on the snowman.
The snowball hit him with a light thump, and Techno slowly turned around to see Tommy standing there alone.
“Oh no, you didn’t,” Techno said, shaking his head.
"Oh yes, I did." Tommy teased.
And with that, a great war began.
Techno and Tommy got into a full-fledged snowball fight after Wilbur taught Tommy how to make snowballs, but the little kid was really bad and getting it to the right shape, and the enemy was getting more and more powerful, so Wil stepped in to make snowballs for Tommy while he opened fire.
Technoblade was getting low on ammo, making it very difficult for him to waste his shots, so he made an alliance with Phil, and then it was an easy win for Techno.
You see, Philza Minecraft is very wise and old and strong and brave. Having such a person on your side made the other team look like ants scrambling for food.
Pathetic.
But even with an unfair advantage, Phil only helped Techno with the ammo.
After a few hours of playing around, it became a free for all. Everyone attacked everyone and that was the most fun part about that morning.
Phil made them all calm down after a bit and asked them to help with the snowman. Techno and Tommy were in charge of finding scarps to put on the snowman, so they went out on a mission to accessories.
But that didn't go well either.
At one point, Techno tripped and slipped into a small frozen puddle, the impact broke the thin ice and cold water drenched him.
Tommy freaked out and started calling for Phil, he tried to help Techno up but his brother weighed 3 times more than Tommy.
Phil came a few seconds after Tommy’s call, he helped Technoblade get up and took him inside, instructing him to change his clothes.
Techno’s temperature was high, high enough to be concerned. That was the end of SBI: Snow Day.

Phil told Techno to rest no matter what he said, Tommy and Wilbur were there to keep him company. Wilbur playing soft guitar and humming quiet songs, Tommy was cuddling with his oldest brother.
“Tommy, I swear to god I’m not dying, you can stay away please,”
“But if I leave you then I won’t be able to take care of you,” Tommy made a face,
“Plus, I can’t get sick because I’m very big and strong,” He paused. “Unlike you.” That made Wilbur laugh hard.
“I can even protect you from monsters!” Tommy said as an afterthought.
“Can’t argue with a 4-year-old,” Wilbur said, Techno rolled his eyes and Tommy giggled.
-
An hour later, Phil slowly opened the quiet room to check on his sons, only to find them cuddled together around the sick boy. His heart warming at the adorable sight.
Techno was still far from sleeping, he noticed Phil at the door and then looked at his brothers.
“Yeah, no. They are still annoying.” Techno said.
Phil laughed, and then quietly closed the door. Techno drifting off in the comfort and warmth of brothers.
