I was woken up by Tommy jumping on my bed, "Wake up! It's your birthday!" I groan and throw the covers over my head. He immediately pulls them off of me, "WAKEY WAKEY!" He shakes me back and forth. I open my eyes and shoot daggers at him, "IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!" He smiles, completely ignoring my fake upsetness. I get up and he pulls me by the arm.

"What are you doing?" I ask groggily because I haven't fully woken up yet. I also notice his phone pointing right at me like he is recording.

"Phil said, wake her up and get her downstairs as fast as possible," Tommy says as he is still pulling me and we are now at the stairs. I rub my eyes and start to walk down the stairs, "Come on, quick!" He says and I continue down the stairs. We then walk to the kitchen and I see loads of pancakes. I take in the fresh scent and sit down at my seat, Tommy sits on the other side of the table.

"Wow, you got sick of me fast," I say jokingly and he laughs.

"Nooo. I just have to say: SURPRISE!" and on queue, confetti is popped onto me with screams of happy birthday! I look back to see Wil and Techno were the ones who doused me in the colorful scraps. Everyone laughs, and I do as well. Then, Phil walks in and giggles with his phone in hand. He had just recorded the whole event.

"Happy birthday y/n," Phil says and hugs me. We all eat breakfast together and talk about the fun surprises that will happen today. But they won't mention anything specific, to keep the surprise factor for me. After we eat some pancakes and talk I go upstairs and get ready for the day. Everyone else was already dressed so I just kind of copied the style they were wearing. I threw on a long sleeve black under armor shirt with a basic white Nike shirt overtop with black leggings and white converse. I threw my hair into a ponytail and rushed downstairs. I come back down and answer my friends' text messages saying happy birthday. This morning makes me even happier that I met these amazing people and most importantly, this family. It's the best one I have ever been to.

"Let's get going now," Techno says patting my head and opening the front door. I run over to him and we all head into the car, except Phil.

"Dad, are you coming?" I yell toward him.

"No, I'll see you later," He responds with a smirk on his face. I then open the car door and we go on our way, somewhere. We end up at a trampoline park. I hop out of the car to see my friends. 

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" They yell. I jump at the surprise but then laugh.

"Thank you!" I say smiling and we make our way into the trampoline park. We sign in and get our fancy socks at the counter. After we are all ready, we make our way to the best part: The trampolines. We all run toward the rows and rows of trampolines, all connected. We bounce from one to another, falling over constantly and making funny jokes. Techno comes out of nowhere behind me. He picks me up and throws me at the trampoline wall. I bounce off of it and land bouncing again. "What the heck!" I yell but, he has already bounced away. Drista lends me a hand and I regain my balance and continue to hang out with my friends and family. We go to the trampoline dodgeball and balance out some teams.

Team 1. (aka the best team).

Me, Techno, Drista, Eryn, Hannah.

Team 2.

Tommy, Wilbur, Freddie, Lani, and Phil. He had just shown up and we had to force him to play so he could balance out the teams.

We started the game from the whistle and ran grabbing the dodgeballs from the center line and chucking them at the other team. I hit Freddie in the leg and he went on the side to mark he was out. Hannah got out too so the teams were still even. Phil was surprisingly good at dodgeball and ended up getting Drista out.
