SEATTLE, WA. June 6th, 1991.
The past month has been filled with Aurora working shifts at Mountain Records and Dave or acting with Kurt and Krist constantly. The two trying to squeeze in as much time together as possible, but with a tour coming up soon, and the boys planning the album release, they haven't had much time together, and when they are, it's usually after a long day, both of them shattered.
Aurora hears Dave's voice softly as she slowly yet surely awakens.
"Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Rora,
Happy birthday to you."
He sings softly, and Aurora smiles as she sits up, facing him.
"Maybe you should be the lead singer." Aurora suggests.
Dave laughs and shakes his head. He then holds up a big cake with candles placed randomly on the top.
"I'm supposed to eat all of this?" Aurora asks, examine how big the chocolate cake really is.
Dave chuckles, "Make a wish." He says.
Aurora thinks for a moment.
I wish to marry you someday.
Aurora then blows out the candles, smiling back up to Dave.
"What'd you wish for?" Dave asks as he watches Aurora pulls out the candles and place it on a paper plate on the bed.
"It's a secret." Aurora says, smiling up to him.
"What? You're not even gonna tell your boyfriend?" He says, pouting his lips.
"I wish I could tell you... but it might not come true if I say it aloud." Aurora says.
Dave nods as he pulls out the rest of the candles, then handing a knife to Aurora.
"You can do the honours." Dave says.
Aurora smiles, cutting through the cake, the knife hitting the bottom, touching the plate.
"Do you cut to the bottom?" Dave asks frantically.
"Y-Yes?" Aurora says, confused.
"Quick! You have to kiss the closest boy!" Dave says, pulling Aurora into a kiss.
She laughs against his lips, then pushing herself away from him, wanting a slice of cake.
Aurora then holds up the slice, moving it closer to Dave's mouth. He takes a bite, the chocolate icing getting all across his face.
"You got a little something." Aurora says, pointing to his mouth.
"Oh really?" Dave asks, and Aurora nods.
"I actually think you've got a little something..." Dave says, moving closer to Aurora and kissing her lips.
"Well now I do thanks to you." Aurora says, laughing, Dave's face lighting up as he watches her smile.
"Quickly, get ready... I'm taking you on many adventures today." Dave says, pulling the cake away and standing up from the bed.
"Hey! You get me cake and don't even let me finish it?" Aurora frowns. "You can finish it later." Dave says, laughing at how mad she got over cake, "Get ready."
Aurora folds her arms over her chest, standing up from the bed and moving to the shower, pulling one of Dave's shirts out from the dresser on the way.
She has a quick shower and then when she exits the bathroom — Chris Isaak's soothing voice was flowing through the apartment.
