Dad nodded as we all went back outside where the gift table was. Everyone else got wines and champagne as Dawn gave me a gift. It was awkward to have 41 people stare at you while opening a gift, so we just stuck to everyone else having drinks while only the gift-giver sees the reaction. Less stress on my face.

Dawn went up to me with a smile as we sat on some chairs near the gift table. She handed me the box with a sly smile.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"I know you'll love this, Starla. I know you too well," Dawn said as I unwrapped the present. It was some StarBursts Earth Clan candy, a black crop top with white stars, a new makeup palette, and a Star Wars keychain. My favorite Earth Clan movie series! I smiled with a squeak as I opened the bag and got Han Solo. I hugged her tightly.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Thank you so much, Dawn!" I said happily. Dawn got up while winking at me and going to Elrond. I put my gifts next to me as Cielo hopped in my lap and Eliana came up to me.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"I hope you like it," she said. I smiled as Cielo hopped on the table and watched me open my gift. I unwrapped it and saw a new phone case and a charm to go with it. I also saw a sweatshirt of The Gas Giants on it and some perfume. I smiled happily while hugging her.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"I love the Gas Giants! Thank you, tata!" I smiled while giving her a tight squeeze. She rubbed my head as Mina came up to me with her gift. I looked at it with a smile.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"It's nothing dirty, I promise," she said with a wink. I laughed softly as I opened it up to see a new water bottle, stickers, a plushie of a dog, and some more candy. The dog plush was so cute! I hugged her tightly, which seems to be my trend.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Thank you, bibi," I said as she gave my forehead a kiss. Aiday went up to me with her gift as well.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Here you go, darling," she said while drinking her fancy wine. I opened a very fancy box to see a purse with some accessories and some earrings. So fancy!
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"So pretty, Aiday! Thank you, bibi saya!" I said as she kissed my cheeks. I loved my gifts, and I'm barely a fourth way through! Helios came up to me with a nervous glance.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"I had to get quite a bit advice from my sister, but I really hope you like it," he said as I opened it. It was a makeup bag with stars and planets on it in black and white with some new brushes and palettes. I saw some remover and a couple of panda face masks as well. I smiled as I hugged him.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"It's amazing, matua keke! I love it!" I assured as he squeezed me once and let Cyrus come to me with her gift. She put the box in my hand as Cielo rubbed on her. When I opened it, a perfume, nail polishes, a dress from Kenya, and matching bracelets with her. I squeaked as I instantly put on the bracelet and hugged her tightly.
