Nana ran to Aphmau's bedroom door, knocked, and then hustled inside. Sitting on the bed were Aphmau and Aaron in the middle of a very heated make-out session, deprived by the separation, they'd broken apart as Nana shut the door behind her. 

The sound broke out with a slam as she caught her breath. She wasn't paying attention as the married couple braced themselves (and their ears) from Nana's, more so Kawaii~Chan's, well-known squealing moment. Yet, Nana hadn't even flinched when she saw them. The girl had other things on her mind.

A few moments later, Katelyn and Garroth cautiously made their way into the room, vaguely followed by Lucinda, Vylad and unexpectantly Zenix. 

Aaron and Aphmau made faces at the group who'd happened to show up inside their room unannounced. 

"Okay, just last night, something came to my attention that I drastically almost forgot," Nana began. 

For some reason, only Zenix had known what she was talking about. For the remainder, the situation and hints went right over their heads. 

Katelyn sighed, "Whatever you have better be quick, I have a reservation dinner with Travis in less than an hour."

Aphmau rolled her eyes toward her step-sister. She turned to Nana, "What's up, buttercup?"

"It has come to my attention that the day after tomorrow is..."

Garroth's eyes widened as Vylad tried to resist swearing under his breath. Zenix bit his tongue. "The twins' birthday," they said in unison. 

"Ooh," Lucinda whistled. 

"Hmm," Zenix hummed. 

"Shit, it's their thirteenth too," Aaron whined running a hand through his sweaty hair. 

"How did we manage to forget something like that?" Vylad rhetorically asked, slumping against the wall in a huff. 

"So, what do we do?" Aphmau questioned swinging over her legs to the edge of the bed. 

"I do have a plan, but the only way we're going to get it done in time, is if we all collaborate, cooperate and work together," Nana said sternly. 

"Cliche," Katelyn mumbled. 

"Yes, mother," Lucinda said with an eye roll. 

"No, I'm serious. One mistake and it all goes down the toilet." 

"Okay, I'd better get the flush ready," Aaron said beginning to stand up. 

"I want a new plan," Vylad whined.

"Shut up, now, here's what I'm thinking..."

Two days later, Zane woke up cuddling into his fiancé. Unexpectedly, he get positive about the day to come, and he savoured his future wife, kissing her cheeks, nose and neck until he woke her up. Nana groaned and pushed him away so she continue sleeping. 

"Zane, no, I wanna sleep," she mumbled burying his face against the pillows. "Bye," she added, her voice completely muffled by the pressure. 

"Good morning to you, too," he answered, playfully rubbing her arm and fiddling with her sleeve. 

Again, Nana groaned and turned to face Zane. "Hello," she mumbled, resisting the urge to close her eyes again. 

"Come on, up," Zane urged. "I'm spending the day with Becca and my mum, why can't I enjoy my fiancé beforehand?" 

"What if your fiancé wants to sleep?" She sighed, "fine." Nana threw one of her pillows at him. "There, you've enjoyed me. Go hang out with Becca now."
