Goth's POV two days later
"Gothy! Shino!"Palette exclaims, hugging us as we enter his home.
"Hey Palette! Happy birthday!"I say
"Raven even sends a gift!"Shino says, lifting a box with one hand with her gift in the other
"Ah, okay.....Thank you."He says, taking the gifts
I notice he smiles more when holding Shino's gift. Raven unsettles him clearly. I understand and shake the thought away. Today is his day and should be without trouble. I smile seeing Gradient code birthday balloons into existence and Radier had put up little streamers or signs on the ceiling and doorways wishing Palette a happy birthday.
Palette smiles as the necklace's gems twinkling around his neck. Shino hops up, strapping a birthday hat to his head. Gradient summons a tablet and readjusts his glasses.
"Okay, so I have the day planned so everything with this celebration goes smoothly without issue. First we-"He begins
As if the world heard him, trouble came as we hear a knock at the door.
"We didn't invite anyone else....That had the sense to knock..."Radier says
I cautiously open the door to see Dream on the other side.
What is he...? Oh right, he wanted Palette to get persuaded into visiting him. He's probably here since he expected a visit.
"Hello, Goth! Is Palette here?"He asks
"To be bothered by you? No, he is not."I say
"Well did he at least get my gift? Did you try to talk some sense into him as I asked?"He inquires
"I have nothing to persuade or correct him about as you had asked. So no, I didn't."I say, shutting the door
He puts his foot in the door, halting the attempt. He peeks past me and sees the decorations.
"Late celebration?"He says
"No, you failed the test that I suggested. We're going to celebrate it and you're not invited. Have a nice day."I say, pushing him out from between the door and door frame to shut the door
I lock the door as well.
"Goth...? What was that about?"Palette asks
"He tried to talk to me the other day and wanted me to persuade you into reconnecting with him. I told him to prove it with a test on his connection with you by remembering your birthday. He didn't remember it so he failed and I won't bother you with that."I say, walking away from the door
He smiles at me.
"Anyway, we will start with some nice relaxing-"Gradient says, readjusting his glasses
SLAM!
"Dang it!"He snaps as the door busts open
Radier pulls Palette and Shino close with his tentacles.
"I want to prove myself! His birthday is the perfect chance for me-Oh hey, Palette..."Dream shouts, growing quiet to greet Palette as he lets himself
It's dead quiet as they all glare Dream down. The confusion on his face was so funny that I couldn't help but laugh.
"Why is so quiet? Why are you all staring?"He asks
"Yeaaaah, taking advantage of his birthday and barging in claiming you deserve something isn't the best way to show your love and respect for Palette. It isn't the smartest either."I say
