"can we go clubbing next weekend?" jack asks hopefully, lounging back on the couch with some gross concoction of an alcoholic drink cradled in his palm. "since i'm eighteen now so i can actually come."

wilbur smiles at him from where he's standing a few feet away, water in hand. "yeah, of course we can," he confirms on all of their behalfs. usually, wilbur is quite the avid drinker when it comes to parties and such but, after his first beer, he noticed that dream wasn't drinking, so he made the executive decision that he too wouldn't drink.

he doesn't know why - maybe to make sure the blond didn't feel pressured into drinking, maybe so dream felt comfortable knowing there was someone else sober, maybe because he thought it would help him enjoy the night more. point is, he doesn't know, but he noticed how dream seems to smile every time he fills his glass of water, so he thinks it's worth it.

jack punches the air excitedly with a loud, "woop!" which earns the drunken boy a few laughs. then, a few moments later, the front door knocks and, whilst wilbur's immediate reaction is worry, jack just seems excited.

the birthday boy gets up quickly off of the sofa, announcing, "that's your birthday surprise!"

wilbur can't tell if jack is talking to himself.

when jack then rushes off to the front door, wilbur follows closely behind, hoping he doesn't open the door to a grumpy neighbour or a tired police officer.

the brunette nearly pulls jack back to answer the door for him but the shorter boy is too quick and gets there first, yanking the door open.

wilbur opens his mouth to apologise to whoever may be at the door but pauses in shock as he watches jack pulling a familiar face into his arms.

"wh-" the tall brunette blinks in shock, and as soon as niki pulls away from jack she's throwing herself at wilbur, who sweeps her off the floor with little effort. "oh my god, what!"

"hey!" she giggles into the embrace. he puts her down and she steps back, smiling up at him, "how are you?"

"you're here!" wilbur says instead of answering, and the blond girl just laughs, turning away from him to hug her best friend again. jack is grinning over her shoulder, and wilbur is surprised that he isn't in tears. "you knew she was coming?"

jack nods into the hug, looking ever so proud of himself, "her plane was late too, it was so hard to keep secret." they pull away, and jack looks her over as if he's taking her in before saying, "come see everyone!"

she nods excitedly, and wilbur follows close behind as jack leads her quickly back through to the living room.

george looks over from where he's sprawled against the couch, gasping loudly when he sees the blond. "niki!" he throws himself up to his feet, almost falling face-first into the coffee table but thankfully being caught by sapnap, who grabs him securely with two hands on the older's waist.
