"Phil where are we going?" A strawberry blonde boy asked his older brother who was currently dragging him through the woods. Phil smiled at his younger sibling "Just wait! We're almost there, and besides it wouldn't be a surprise if i told you now would it?" The child let out a small squeal of laughter as he dodged an attempted tickle.

The two finally arrived at their destination. It was a clearing in the woods with a massive Angel oak tree in the middle, Surrounded by flowers the view had looked absolutely magical. There was also a swing hanging from one of the branches and a picnic blanket laid out on the ground under the shade of the tree.

"Happy birthday!" Phil exclaimed happily as his brother gaped at the sight "Woaaaah! Phil this is so pretty!" The blonde was in awe at the sheer beauty of the place "Thank you! This is amazing!" Phil giggled as the blonde tackled him into a hug

"Anything for you Grian"

"WHAT!?" WIlbur grabbed Phil by the shoulders and shook him rapidly at the news. Phil had tried to explain but Wilbur was still very much shaking him violently so he only managed to get out random sputters of words.

"PHILZA MINECRAFT WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT GROIN, THE GRINE, IS OUR UNCLE- WHAT THE FUCK-" Tommy exclaimed standing up and slamming his hands on the table. He let out a bunch of unintelligible sputters.

Yeah he really shouldn't have bombed dropped the news like this. Phil was starting to regret a lot of things.

"EXPLAIN- PHIL I DEMAND- I WANT AN EXPLAINATION AND I WANT IT NOW!!" Wilbur screeched as he shook Phil some more. "Wil- stop-" He tried to say but ultimately failing.

"Wil- stop shaking him and let him explain!" Techno huffed. While he too is very shocked by the news, he has his emotions more in control. Of course, he still wants some answers and he won't get it if his idiot of a twin keeps shaking their dad.

Wilbur eventually stops after realizing that Phil can't explain if he kept on shaking the man violently.

Phil took a deep breathe as he composed himself, he looked up and saw the other 3 staring at him expectantly.

"Alright, alright." He sighed, the others tensed a bit, but after he didnt say anything afterwards they took it as an invitation to start talking.

"First of all, Why have you only told us NOW that we have an uncle??" Techno decided to take the lead, not trusting Wilbur to not go on another rampage.

"Well, we haven't seen eachother in years so i thought we weren't going to ever bring him up" Phil flashed them a somewhat sad smile.

It was true, it had been so long since Phil and Grian was separated against their will. Don't get him wrong, he missed his brother dearly but he couldn't not continue with his life. Grian would've talked his ears off if he found out that his brother spent his time moping around instead of getting his shit together.

"Are you sure that we're talking about the same Grian??" Tommy squinted at his father. Honestly, you couldn't blame him, it's not everyday you find out that your related to a very famous person.

"Yes, i'm pretty sure-" an idea passed through Phil's head. He stood up from his seat and after telling his sons to give him a moment he wandered to the attic of their house.

The attic was dusty and filled with extra storage, there was a bunch of cobwebs everywhere and boxes littered the place. He approached a specific box that was covered by a white cloth, he opened the box and grabbed a smaller box from the inside.

He  blew off the dust that was layering the cover of the box and written there was

P̶e̶e̶l̶ Phil and Grᶦan! Do not touch!!

He smiled upon seeing the familiar handwriting and the nostalgic typos made by a 5 year old Phil.

He brought the box down with him and rejoined his sons on the dining table.

When he arrived, Wil and Tommy had been bickering while Techno piped in here and there.

"Shut up you dumb child-" Tommy frowned at this "I AM NOT A CHILD YOU BITCH!!" Techno snorted at the statement "Technically you are a child" Wilbur laughed at this while Tommy started cussing Techno out.

"Boys-" Phil fondly sighed at his sons "Alright, cut it out now" Phil placed the box on the table catching the the trios attention.

"What's that?" Tommy asked, eyeing the box curiously, wondering where it came from.

Phil didn't say anything as he opened the box, inside the box was a slightly worn out leather book and a necklace sitting on top of it.

"To answer your first question, i am 100% sure we're talking about the same Grian, and as proof i have this." He grabbed the necklace and let it dangle from his hand.

It was a circular ruby gem, pendant? with a big G engraved in the middle of it.

"A necklace?" Technoblade muttered, confused on how exactly a necklace can prove that Grian is their uncle.

"Yep! It works similarly to a compass, it points to another necklace, the one that i gave Grian" Phil chirped as he held the pendant in his hands.

"Oh like Tommy and Tubbo's compass?" Phil nodded at this.

"Yeah! Though its enchantment works a bit more differently" Phil smile turned into a sad one as he rubbed a thumb over the gem "It only responds to the two of us, unlike Tommy's compass" He explained.

The three sons looked at each other, their father had looked so glum.

"Wait so can we see him then?" Techno chimed in, Wilbur visibly brightened at this "WAIT OH MY- PHIL CAN WE!? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" Wilbur begged, his eyes pleading.

"I don't know..." Phil rubbed the back of his neck as he thought it over.

Wilbur pouted at his father's hesitance, he then turned to the youngest brother.

"Tommy! Use puppy eyes!" Immediately Tommy turned to Phil donning his best puppy face.

Wilbur noticed Phil faltering, so far its working.

"Mate, I-"

"Techno! Use begging!"

"Wil, mate, stop treating your brothers like a pokemon"

"Phiiil, pleaaaaaase?"

"Come on Phil, are you really gonna deny me and Techno's pleas AND Tommy's puppy eyes!?"
