Multiple days have already went by since their last lesson. As the days passed Ao'nung and Ra'mora slowly got closer with one another. Ao'nung would always help her and her family without hesitation, he'd drop off gifts at her house, he always walked her home, and of course he would flirt with her. Ra'mora started to actually consider being his friend now after everything he's done for her and her family.

Tonowari has grown closer with Jake, the two are now close friends. Ronal and Neytiri are very slowly starting to get more comfortable with each other's presence. For now, they seem to be able to tolerate each other.

Today was the day of the twins birthday, or better known as 'the day of cycle' to other Na'vi. The day of cycle was pretty much a birthday except they only celebrated when certain cycles occur. Like when they become a teenager, the age to complete your dream hunt, or the appropriate age to be mated. Neteyam and Ra'mora turn eighteen today, that was the age of being mated.

The family planned on only having a small celebration within the family as to not draw too much attention to them, along with the fact they would be doing some sky people traditions. Jake had prepared a makeshift cake for them out of fruit and jelly instead. The Sully family would sometimes have a family night where they would play a variety of games from both the Na'vi and sky people. The twins favorite game to play was charades, especially when they would give their father something stupid to act out.

The family was currently sitting in the middle of their pod around the small table that they ate at. Lo'ak was bringing in the blindfolded twins back into the pod once Jake finally set up the 'cake.' Ra'mora's nose twitches as she sniffs the air, Neteyam mimicking her actions too as Lo'ak kept both hands over their eyes as they trailed into the pod.

"Do you smell that?" Ra'mora asked quietly as she sniffed the air again.

"Is that yakloz?" Neteyam's nose twitches again as he continues sniffing.

"Of course you would be able to identify the fruit you fatass."

Lo'ak snorted as Neteyam punched Ra'mora's side, making her grunt and rub her side. She flails her hands around aimlessly in attempt to find Neteyam, and once her hand reached his bicep she punched it with all her might.

"OW! I didn't even punch you that hard!" He whined while grabbing his bicep.

Lo'ak shook his head with a smile on his face as he continued to guide his siblings.

"Yes you fucking did."

"I literally didn't but okay..."

"Stop fighting, it's literally both your days of cycle."

"No one was talking to you."

"Lil bro thought he was included."

"I swear to Eywa if it wasn't your birthdays-"

Lo'ak was cut off by the sound of their family beginning to scramble around the pod once they saw Lo'ak seat them at the table. A loud bang was heard from Neteyam hitting his knee against the table from Lo'ak not being careful.

Neteyam whined as he held his knee while Ra'mora sat there looking lost.

"Three, two, one!" Jake counted down and then Lo'ak removed his hands from their eyes.

"Happy birthday!" The whole family cheered.

Large grins appeared onto the faces of the twins, Neteyam suddenly forgetting the pain in his knee. They looked down at the table in front of them that held various foods. Most of them were the twin's favorite dishes along with some Metkayina dishes. In the center of it all was the 'cake' Jake had made with the help of Neytiri. There were layers of all the fruits Neteyam and Ra'mora liked, a yakloz jam coated it all.
