Regardless of the fact that he was stranded on a deserted island, had to hunt for food two to three times a week, and scavenge for materials to build a shelter, this was probably Logan's favorite birthday. And last year, he'd spent his birthday in Thailand. So saying that Poguelandia was his best birthday was saying a lot.

The first reason this was his favorite birthday was because he hadn't stopped smiling once. The second reason was because he felt like he could be himself without screwing up. The third reason was that he was with his best friends. And the last reason this birthday topped any other birthday was because it was genuine. There wasn't an over-the-top present or gaudy, flashy signs and lights.

It was simple. He felt like himself. And he was happy.

"I still can't believe you're a scorpio." Kie continued, attention solely devoted to Logan. "I mean, it makes so much sense, but wow." She shook her head, turning to the others. "JJ being a Libra makes, like, so much sense, too, and Kori being a Sagittarius couldn't be more right. And don't even get me started on Sarah. Like—"

"Okay, okay." Kori interjected, letting out a laugh. "Enough with the astronomy."

"Astrology."

"Whatever." Kori waved her away, turning to Pope. "I still think it's the 30th, not the 29th, but if we're really celebrating, we should play a game."

Never Have I Ever was already out of the question. It'd been banned since the third night, since things got a little too heated every single time they played.

"How about truth or dare?" Sarah suggested.

"Best idea I heard all day." Cleo acknowledged, lifting a woven hat off the sand. "You first, blondie!"

Kori caught the hat, placing it atop her head. "Alright. Give it to me, Cleo."

"Truth or dare?"

Kori tilted her head with a grin. "What do you guys think?"

"She gettin' too cocky, man. You gotta fix dat." Cleo remarked, glancing at JJ.

"Me? It's not my problem." He replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"Okay, fine. Um," Cleo paused momentarily. "I dare you to...pick someone here and make fun of 'em for thirty seconds."

Everyone groaned, but Kori only grinned. "Too easy."

"For you maybe." Logan sighed, throwing his hand up.

"Oh, don't worry. The Birthday Boy gets a special pass." She said with a smile before turning to John B. "Just let me know when."

"Oh shit." He murmured, meeting her gaze with a long exhale.

"Go."

"Well to start off, I'd like to say that that makeout was pretty bad. So for Sarah's sake, I really hope you've stepped it up in the past three years. If not, I feel sorry for her. Second, you smell. Like, all the time. Plus, your hair is always greasy, not to mention the fact that you always have bad gas. I mean, come on, JB. Some pepto bismol wouldn't hurt every once in a while. Oh, and John B wet the bed when he was twelve because of a rainstorm outside. He blamed it on Pope and everyone believed it. Also...you have no game. Like, at all. So the fact that you pulled Sarah Cameron...well that's one thing I'll never understand."
