A/N: Dicky is afraid of the storms and his brothers help him through the night

The thunder crashed outside, rattling the windows. Rain was pouring down and lightning was flashing. Dicky only had one feeling right now... fear. He was sitting in his bed waiting for the storm to pass, which wasn't gonna be anytime soon. Ricky and Nicky were already asleep. Dicky was left alone, consumed by his fear. Dicky couldn't fall asleep, he could barely even think. The lightning snapped a branch outside and it clattered down on the window. Dicky jumped and clung tightly to his pillow. Nicky woke up when he heard whimpering.

"Dicky? What's wrong?"

Nicky got out of his bed, walked across the room and climbed up to Dicky's bunk.

Dicky didn't want to tell Nicky that he was afraid of storms.

"Nothing.. nothing's wrong..."

Just then, the brightest lightning went streaking through the sky and Dicky clung onto Nicky as tight as tight as humanly possible. Nicky gasped and realized whats going on,

"No way! You're afraid of storms!"

Trying to maintain his cool reputation, Dicky has to deny it.

"I am not!"

The shouting from Dicky woke Ricky, who jumped out of his bed and walked over to the ladder to Dicky's bunk. When he got up, he found Dicky hugging his knees and Nicky shaking his head.

"Hey Dicky...Hey Nicky. What's going on?"

Nicky pulled Ricky closer and said,

"Well, Dicky here is clearly afraid of storms but he won't admit it..."

Ricky slid closer to Dicky and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Dicky, you know it's okay to be afraid of something... right?"

Dicky sighed and whispered,

"I know..."

"So is there anything you wanna tell us?"

Dicky scoots closer to Nicky,

"Yeah... it's totally obvious... I'm afraid of thunderstorms..."

Ricky smiled,

"Dicky! That's totally okay! Everything's gonna be fine! We'll get through this together!"

"You sure?"

"I'm sure..."

Ricky and Nicky put an arm around either side of Dicky. Dicky put his head and Nicky's shoulder and smiled. Before the knew it, they were all asleep in Dicky's bed. The next morning when they woke up, the sun was shining and the storm had passed. The three brothers woke up and smiled at each other. Dicky hugged his beloved brothers,

"Thanks guys..."

A/N: I know it was short! The rest will be longer!
