Quincy
One afternoon, William and Harry were hanging out with their older brother Quincy. The royal family has worked hard to keep Quincy's birth and existence a secret from the United Kingdom and the world. One day William will assume the crown, but only because so few people know that Quincy is the rightful heir to the throne.

Quincy was born without legs, you see, and while he gets around fine in a customized wheelchair with remote controls and all the bells and whistles, the royal family didn't think he would make the proper, prominent king figure that the family had in mind.

So, Quincy lives in a modest flat in London where his brothers visit him often. While they typically get along very well, on this particular day Quincy was agitated and it seems that nothing William or Harry said to him would calm Quincy's nerves.

As the afternoon wore on, their quarrels became heated and eventually Quincy threatened to reveal himself to the people as the rightful heir to the throne. William, terrified of being exposed as a fraud all his life, tried to think quickly of a way to calm and silence his brother.

He excused himself and went to the kitchen to fetch a fresh cup of tea for himself and the others. He isn't used to doing tasks like this himself, and when reached into the cupboard for the sugar, he grabbed instead rat poison. He spooned the white powder into each of the three cups and brought them back to the living room with shaking hands, still trying to figure a way to defuse the situation.

He passed the tea around and they all took uncomfortable sips and continued their argument. After a short time, they all scrambled for the bathroom and practically knocked one another down, trying to be the first to reach the toilet. William knocked Quincy out of his chair and when Harry yelled at him for doing so, the two brothers with working legs fell to the floor fighting one another. The fighting turned to a romping, wrestling play fight that brothers enjoy so much and between the small amount of rat poison each ingested and the romping about with one another, they all proceeded to get very sick on one another and the floor surrounding them.

It was a terrible mess and they were all so embarrassed at the results of the meeting that they vowed never to speak of it again, solidifying William's place in line for the throne.
