Chizuru's Birthday!

It was Sunday and Chizuru's birthday. Not that she cared, or thought that anyone else cared. Her friends always planned one birthday after another but none of those were for her.
She didn't even mind since she always thought that giving was always better than receiving.
Chizuru got out of bed with a groan and stretched before pulling on her dressing gown. Cheechan flew out of his open cage and perched himself on Chizuru's shoulder. She smiled and stroked the sparrow's head as she made her way to the bathroom. Cheechan instantly perched himself outside the door as if protecting it from anyone entering while Chizuru was in it.
Chizuru then made her way downstairs, now dressed in a comfortable fluffy sweater and sweatpants. Her servants immediately rushed off to prepare her breakfast and she just sat down to eat, thanking each of them and saying a prayer before eating.

"We'll handle the cake," Kyo said, pulling Shingo towards him. "Ben said he'll handle the food part."
"He can cook that much alone?" Goro asked in surprise.
"Aiko is helping him," Iori smirked. "Dash, Zayn, and I will be making arrangements at the hotel."
"Kula and I will be making desserts," Isolde chimed in. "We're making cupcakes, ice cream sandwiches, and coffee jelly."
"Great, because Ben and Aiko are only handling the main dishes," Kyo said. "Wait, who's handling Kagura's outfit?"
"I am," Athena said, raising her hand. "Nako and Rimu are with me too. We designed a good outfit and handed it to my tailor. They'll do a good job, don't worry."
"Wait, so where do we come in?" Shermie chimed in. "You guys seem to have everything under control."
"Ah yes, you guys have the biggest task," Kyo smirked, going over to her and her teammates. "Yagami, the plan?"
Iori came forward and started telling them about their entrance.
"Are you sure we won't end up in trouble?" Chris asked. "Like... I don't wanna end up getting kicked out of a party, you know?"
"Don't worry, you won't really have to do anything besides a phone call," Iori said. "A very important phone call. That's all."
Yashiro nodded and took his phone out. "You owe me big time," he said while dialling Chizuru's number.
"We'll get you hosaki menma with noodles later," Kyo bribed. "Gyūdon for Shermie, and Bhutanese food for Chris."
"It's all at the party, Kyo," Iori whispered into Kyo's ear.
"I know, that's why I'm telling them confidently," Kyo whispered back. "I don't wanna buy the food."
Yashiro pulled Shermie and Chris outside and started the conversation with Chizuru.

Chizuru cuddled on her bed and watched television in the privacy and comfort of her bedroom, her hair tied in a topknot and a fluffy Teddy Bear close to her.
All of a sudden, her phone rang. Chizuru groaned and paused whatever she was watching before picking it up. It was a call from Yashiro.
"Yes, Nanakase?" Chizuru said as soon as she answered it.
Her eyes widened when she heard laughter on the other hand.
"What are you guys up to?" Chizuru asked, alerted. "Answer me! What did you guys do?!"
Laughter again.
"Your comb is with us, Yata," Yashiro sneered. "We're in HUNGARY now!"
"Nanakase!" Chizuru exclaimed, scrambling onto her feet.
"That's right! We're in Hungary, Kagami!" Shermie chimed in again.
"Guys, I'm hungry!" Chris suddenly said.
"Shut up, Chris," Yashiro hissed, sounding a little muffled as if he turned away from his phone for a moment. "Ah, now where were we?"
"I'm hungry!" Chris whined. "Can we go have a snack in Sherilton Hotel? It's hi-tea now!"
They started arguing on the other end and eventually hung up. Chizuru waited no more. She knew of their next move now and immediately got ready before jumping onto her bike, dressed in her full biker attire.

Chizuru looked at the hotel in front of her, standing in the streets of Taito City. She scowled, sensing them and Yuki inside it, and went in. Since Chris whined about being hungry, her first guess was the dining hall.
Chizuru rushed over and to her surprise, the CYS were calmly sitting at one of the tables, having coffee with not only Yuki but Kyo and Iori as well. She went to them, confusion written all over her face, and demanded an explanation.
"What's going on?!" Chizuru demanded.
"Coffee?" Yashiro offered, much to her surprise.
"What?" Chizuru demanded again.
"Guys!" Kyo suddenly exclaimed loudly.
To Chizuru's surprise, all of her friends suddenly appeared, singing Happy Birthday. She looked at everyone, gaping.
"Wha...?" Chizuru gasped.
"It's your birthday, mon cheri," Shermie giggled. "That's why we called you here."
"It's a ruse?" Chizuru said in surprise.
All of a sudden, Rimururu handed a bag to her, almost shoving it at her.
"Your new outfit, oneesan," Rimururu said, her eyes twinkling. "Do you like it?"
Chizuru opened the bag and gasped when she saw a beautiful white and red kimono in it.
"It's... it's really pretty," Chizuru said, her eyes tearing. "Thank you. Everyone."
"Wait, there's another outfit," Athena came forwards, holding another paper bag. "Here."
Chizuru opened that bag and saw that it was a pretty red off-shoulder frilly dress that nearly swept the floor.
"Shoes," Kyo chuckled, handing her a box. "We got you shoes too."
To everyone's surprise, Chizuru burst into tears.

Chizuru recovered from her emotional state and came out of the dressing room, dressed in the red frilly dress and shoes that her friends gave her. Iori had given her a necklace while Shingo gave her a nice crown. She almost felt as if she was a princess, walking back to the dining hall for the party her friends prepared.
She had never expected that they would do something like this for her but felt incredibly thankful for what they had done. Chizuru prayed for her friends' safety and wellbeing before joining them in the fun.
