Lappland awoke, this time to see Texas' face. She smiled, "Good morning."
Texas yawned, "Good morning. Let's go down to eat some breakfast."
Lappland smiled, "Of course."
They prepared their uniforms. Lappland's new uniform was black in color, to represent an oripathy survivor. She wore a black jacket with a fluffy hood. It had short sleeves and a longer sleeve attached beneath. There were buckles around the jacket sleeve. She wore a gray turtleneck underneath. Along with those, she wore black ripped jeans. She put on her new black and white converses.
"Damn, I'm loving this outfit!" Lappland said, grinning.
"That's good. After all I spent that coin," Texas said, smiling.
Texas tossed on her usual white winter messenger jacket.
They climbed down the stairs.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAPPLAND!!" the PL member yelled in unison. Texas stood next to Lappland, grinning while taking in Lappland's reaction.
Lappland stopped in shock, she had forgotten that her birthday was today. She cried, "Oh guys, thank you so much. I haven't celebrated my birthday in so long."
She broke down into tears.
The others watched her cry, smiling. Texas patted Lappland's back, "There there."
After a few moments of regaining composure, Lappland smiled, "Thank you, guys."
In the center of the room, was a table, piled up with gifts. Along with the balloons aligned across the walls.
"We sure are doing this early in the morning," Texas said, "Let's head out to the Lungmen shops before we do stuff here."
"Nah, you two can go. We'll stay. Have fun!" Sora said, sitting down on the couch.
Texas nodded and pulled Lappland out of the building.

"Yo, check those blades!" Lappland said, running to a vendor. She pointed at the katana sitting on its shelf, "That blade, how much is it?"
"Oho, you have good eyes," the vendor said, "That's the legendary sword of lightning, it's worth 18000 Orundum."
"Oh, I see. That's quite...a lot," Lappland said, looking into her barren wallet.
Texas caught up with Lappland, "Lappy, I was looking at some pocky and the next thing, you just disappeared. At least wait for me."
"Ah, sorry sorry," Lappland said, "That sword just caught my eye."
"Oh," Texas looked at it, "It looks good. How much is it?"
"18000 Orundum," Lappland said, looking back at her barren wallet.
"Oh sheesh, I will buy it for you," Texas said, "It's your birthday after all."
Lappland looked at Texas happily, "Wait, for real?!"
"Yup. Although, you already have two swords. Why would you need a third one?" Texas said.
"Says you, who can summon millions of swords in the sky," Lappland said, crossing her arms.
"Alright," Texas said, she took out some money and handed it to the vendor, "We'll take that sword."
After buying it, Lappland held the sword in her hands and unsheathed it.
"Woah! The power from this thing!" Lappland said, subconsciously raising it to the sky. Lightning sparks rained all around.
"Why are you trying to copy that meme?" Texas said, laughing.
"I don't know, it just feels natural," Lappland said, sheathing it again and throwing it over her shoulder.
"Alright."
* * *
It was now midnight, after intense partying. And now Lappland and Texas are heading to their room to sleep.
"God, I'm exhausted!" Lappland said, tossing herself on the bed.
"Well, was it fun?" Texas asked, "You better say it was."
"Well of course it was fun," Lappland said, smiling, "Especially Exusiai's apple pie styled cake."
Texas laughed, "That's Exia's life skill."
They laughed together. Texas paused remembering, "Oh right. Remember that old pocket watch you had before?"
"Eh, yep," Lappland answered, "Why?"
"Well," Texas said, pulling out a fresh and golden item out of her pocket, "Here. It's more updated."
Lappland received it into her hands. "Woah, this is a newer image! And the material is NICE!"
She admired the watch, "I will cherish this. Like the other one."
"Anyways, let's head to bed," Texas said, smiling, while laying on the bed next to Lappland.
"I love you, Tex."
"I love you too, Lappy."
Fin.
