A Leo and Skye Friendship

July 2nd

FITZ'S POV
"Hunter!!! Pssst!! Hunter!!!" I whispered under Hunters door.
"HUNTER!!!"
"Mrphhhhlaaameee" I heard a tired mumble come from inside the room.
"Hunter? I'm coming in, alright?"
Another unintelligible mumble from in the room. The door squeaked as I walked in.

"FitzZZZ" he grumbled
"Yeah, yeah. Look, I'm sorry! But... It's Skye's birthday."
"Mmhmm?"
"Well I just thought we should do something nice, right?"
"Yeah, Fitz. It's a nice idea, but can we talk about it at a decent hour?"
"Oh right, yeah. Okay."

"Simmons?" I said, tapping lightly on her door.
"Yes, Fitz?" She said opening the door brightly.
"Woah, Jemma! You're up this early?!"
"Oh yes, Fitz! I'm always up this early! I like to get up at 4:30 and shower, read and get a nice kickstart on my day."
"Oh, alright. Well, it's Skye's birthday. I think we should do something for her."
"OH FITZ!!! That's a brilliant idea!!! We should throw her a big surprise party!
"Yeah! That's a great idea!"
"Alright, come in." She said moving from the doorframe. "We have some planning to do."

JEMMA'S POV
Me and Fitz had the whole bus woken up in 20 minutes. Granted, not everyone was thrilled to be up so early but.... You can't please them all!! I was delegating jobs out almost immediately after we all had coffee (well, tea actually for me and Hunter).
"Right, Fitz. You are on streamer duty." I said handing him a massive roll of purple and blue streamers.
"And, Coulson. You're on look out. If you hear anything remotely awake-ish coming from her room, let us know. And if God-forbid she comes out before we're ready, you have to stall her." He nodded and headed in the direction of Skye's bedroom.
"May, you have to blow up balloons and put them all over the floor. Use the same blues and purples we have for the streamers, okay?"
"Alright, mission commander." She responded sarcastically. Some people get grumpy on mornings, she gets sarcastic.
"Umm, what else....." I pondered.
"Jem? Music? I mean, I haven't known Skye for as long as you... But I know she loves her music." Hunter suggested.
"Yes! Excellent! You get all the music we need!" I responded.
"Shall I do like, I dunno, oldie bands? Like Beatles or something?"
"Perfect! Skye loves them! Alright team, let's do this!!!"
"Simmons? What are you going to do?" Leo asked.
"I'm gonna do food. Cake, chrisps, ice cream, the works. OH! And for lunch I'll make her favorite, lasagne!"
"Alright guys, let's go!" Fitz said with enthusiasm.

. . .

"EVERYBODY HIDE!" Coulson hissed as he ran in the room.
We all ducked beneath, tables behind counters, and around corners. We all were just hidden as the walked in.

"What the..." She said questioningly, but couldn't finish because we interrupted her. All at once we shouted...

"SURPRISE!!!!"
