"Happy birthday!" Care yells as she enters my room. Luckily, I just woke up two minutes ago. Care walks over to my bed. She has a cupcake in her hand with a candle on top of it. "I bought you a birthday cupcake and a latte." She says, lighting the candle. "Thank you." "Now make a wish and blow out your candle!" She says and I blow out the candle. 

Care comes back with her own coffee in her hand. "So, how does it feel to be eighteen?" Care asks. "I don't know, I think I'll figure that out as soon as I order alcohol without you needing to compel the bartender." I say and Care laughs. "So, what did you wish for?" Care asks. "I can't tell you, then it won't come true." "Come on." Care complains and I chuckle. "I can tell you, it's not like it's gonna come true anyway. I wished for my parents to be alive, even if it was just for one day."

"I'm sure your parents are proud of you." Care says. "I doubt that. I mean I dropped out of high school, and I'm involved with vampires, and werewolves and god knows what else." I say. "My mom was the first in my family who finished high school and collage, some of my family members didn't even go to school. And I quit school." I say. "I'm sure your mom understands. I mean let's be real, you've got more important thingss to deal with." "Yeah you're right." "For instance getting dressed, because we need to go the Mikaelson Mansion." Care hints and I chuckle.

"If it isn't the birthday girl. Happy birthday Rora." Nik says and we hug. "Hello love." He says to Care as we walk further into the house. We meet Elijah in the hallway. "Aurora, happy birthday." "Thank you Elijah."

We enter the living room. Rebekah is looking at two different dresses. "Aurora!" Rebekah yells as she runs over to me and gives me a hug. "Happy birthday! Oh my god you're eighteen." "I knowww." I squeal. "Niklaus, can we have a word?" Elijah asks and they leave the living room, as Kol enters. "Happy birthday darling." Kol says and he gives me a kiss.  "Thank you." I reply. "Okay now that everyone has said happy birthday, it's time to get ready." Care says and Bex takes us upstairs.

"This is going to be the best birthday ever." Care squeal. "Better than your own?" I ask. "Uh yeah. but that's not so hard seeing I celebrated my eighteenth birthday at a freaking cemetery." "Fair point." I reply. "Nik says it's taken care of." Rebekah says to Care as she enters the room. "What is taken care of?" I wonder. "Oh nothing. We need to get ready." Rebekah responds.

Care enters the room again, but now with a bag full of stuff. "What do you need all that for?" I question. "To get ready of course." Care states as if it was so obvious. "Of course." "Well show us what's in it." Rebekah says. "Okay, we have a hair straightener, a curler, heat protector, and more hair products." Care says as she gets the items out of the bag, one by one. "We have tons of nail polish and glitter, make-up, and lot's and lot's of jewelry." Care says as she grabs the last items out of bag.

"Yeah, I don't think that's enough." I remark. "Yea? I wasn't sure, but I already figured it might not be enough." Care replies. "Care, I was being sarcastic." I laugh. "I think the whole of Mystic Falls can get ready with all of that." I say and Care rolls her eyes. "Enough with the jokes, we don't have that much time."

"But, before we get ready... Presents!" Care squeals. Bex and Care are laughing excitedly. Rebekah gives me a present and I unwrap it. It is a beautiful handbag. "Oh my god, thank you Bex, I love it! I've been wanting to buy a new bag!" I say and I give her a hug. Care hands me her gift. I open the boc and it reveals Valentino heels. "Oh. My. God. I wanted to buy this for so long, but it was too freaking expensive!" I squeal and both Care and Bex laugh. "Thanks Care, I love it!" I say and I hug her.

Care is doing my hair, with the curling iron, while Rebekah is trying on different dress options. I decided to curl my hair, since I straighten my hair on a daily basis. While Care is still curling my hair, I am waiting for my nails to dry. "What do you think about this dress?" Rebekah asks, and I look at her dress in the mirror. "It's stunning." Care says as she gives Rebekah a quick glance. "It looks amazing Bex, just as the other three dresses you just tried on." I say to her. "I think I'm gonna go with the teal one."Rebekah says and she dives back into her closet.
