A while after the children's grounding ended, the TV started to glitch, and change channels, or stop, and things like that. One Saturday, Mrs. Bunniss sat down and figured out that they would need to call up the TV company and ask them to send someone to help fix the TV. Unfortunately, she had a meeting for her work the day that the company could come, and her husband had to run an errand. She told the kids to look for the TV crew and that they would send someone at about 11:00.
Josh and Stephanie nodded, and listened.
   "Behave you two." Mrs. Bunniss said sternly.
    "We will Mom." Stephanie said.
    "Bye!" Josh waved. Mrs. Bunniss closed the door behind her. Stephanie sat back on the couch.
   "Ok, it's 10:30, the TV repair person will be here at 11:00. I'm gonna talk to Alex till than." Stephanie said, walking up the stairs. Alex was Stephanie's best friend. Josh grabbed his iPad and sat down on the couch. He would watch some YouTube while he waited.

Ding-Dong
Josh took out his earbuds.
   "Stephanie! I think that their here!" He called up to his sister. Leaping up from the couch, he peeked out the window. There was a man standing at the door, with a red toolbox and gloves. His car was parked at the curb, and read,
  "ARA TV Company" in Bold Purple letters. Stephanie came up next to him and peered out the window.
"Yep, thats them." Stephanie said, opening the door. The man smiled.
"Hello. Are you the Bunnisses?" He asked politely. He wasn't very tall, barely taller than Stephanie.
   "Yes. That's us." Stephanie said.
    "Alright, so, what seems to be the problem?" He asked, stepping inside as the kids let him in.
   "The TV keeps glitching and doing weird stuff like that." Josh sighed, glancing back at the TV. The man sighed.
   "Oh yes, this will happen. Give me about an hour, it should be done." He said. Stephanie nodded and texted her mom to tell her that the company had arrived. Josh led the man downstairs to the TV. He set down his tool box, and began to work.

    "Alright. That seems to be alright now. But, the television must stay off till tomorrow morning. It is in the most delicate part of the repairing." The man said. Josh handed him the check that his mom had told him to give to the repair men, who nodded and handed them a list of instructions.
"Thank you!" Stephanie said, texting as the three walked back to the door. The man nodded, and left.
"Ok, annnnnd send! I just told Mom that the repair man fixed the TV and sent her a pic of the instructions." Stephanie said, sitting back on the couch. Josh smiled, though he felt the feeling of dread again.......

The man sighed when he got outside. Hopefully the children would follow his advice. If not, well, he hoped it would be better than last time. He had tried to warn them.
