Party

Everyone who had been at the wedding stayed for a few more days since it would be Cynthia's birthday soon. Today was the day and Charlie went over-the-top with decorations. There was confetti constantly falling from the ceiling, a large banner saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY CYNTHIA!", and many tables with fruit punch, cakes, and different types of food.

Alastor was standing with an annoyed expression, Nifty having put a party hat on his antler. Nifty was cackling as she pointed at the party hat. Alastor made an annoyed radio noise.

Cynthia was running around, giggling as she ran through the tall bodies that towered over her. She accidentally ran into Carmilla's legs, who brushed it off with a smile before Cynthia ran toward Adam, who she just saw. This time she crashed into Adam's legs to get him to notice her, making the angel yelp as he stopped himself from falling over.

Adam chuckled, picking his daughter up, kissing her cheek. Cynthia giggled, grabbing Adam's hair, causing him to wince slightly. This child's grip was strong. Adam put Cynthia on his hip. Charlie walked over, pinching Cynthia's cheek, getting a giggle from the toddler. "There's the birthday girl!"

Charlie grabbed Cynthia, making Cynthia let go of Adam's hair. She carried Cynthia to a table which had her birthday cake. Everyone surrounded them, and everyone started to sing happy birthday. "Make a wish!" Charlie said once they were done. Cynthia blew out the candles, getting claps from everyone. Cynthia clapped herself, giggling as she was set down. Charlie pulled out the candles and cut the cake, giving everyone a slice.

After everyone was done eating, Cynthia had chosen Zestial to take to the dance floor to dance. It was hard for the older overlord to keep up a bit, but was able to, despite being hunched over to be holding Cynthia's hands. The reason she took the third tallest person out to the dance floor was never answered as she giggled, bouncing around. When Cynthia let Zestial go, he slipped away into the shadows to talk to Carmilla, joking about how his "old bones" couldn't handle being bent over like like, cause Carmilla to laugh.

Nifty and Cynthia were now dancing in between people's bodies, both of the cute shorties giggling. Alastor and Lucifer were both off to the side, watching them. They were standing beside each other, which was a shock since they weren't trying to murder each other.

Micheal went up to Zestial, asking for him and they moved away from the others. Micheal looked flustered and he was rubbing the back of his head, he seemed to be apologizing for the kiss that had happened a few days ago at the wedding. Micheal had been avoiding Zestial previously.

Leo had jump-scared God, since he had sneaked up behind God, grabbing his shoulders. God had yelped, whipping around and grabbing Leo by his scruff. Leo blinked his eye, and the bristled God calmed down when he saw his lover. He sighed and shifted his grip on Leo, holding his bridal style, looking down at Leo. "Don't do that."

Leo blinked again. "No." He said simply. God just smiled, hugging Leo to his body, refusing to let the struggling angel go.

Azrael was talking to Carmilla, looking curious about her ballerina shoes. Charlie and Vaggie were talking about presents, which were to come soon.

Angel had dragged Husk to the dance floor, and was dancing quickly to the music.

Adam was off to the side, sitting on a chair. Emily had also dragged Lute to the dance floor, swinging them around while giggling happily. Lute had a soft smile on her face.

Charlie grabbed a glass of fruit punch and tapped it with a metal spoon, getting everyone's attention. The room fell silent. "Present time!" Charlie said.

Everyone sat on the floor in front of where Cynthia had gifts piling around her (God still holding Leo, who was put in his lap).

Cynthia started to unwrap a gift from Angel, her eyes glowing as she saw a floating lantern with a white glowing light. The lantern floated down and rested beside her, turning off. She got normal ballerina shoes that moved to always fit her from Carmilla, a toy spear from Lute, a white teddy bear stuffie from Emily, a necklace with a golden gem from Lucifer and Adam, a light-up wand from Vaggie and Charlie, a live, small black snake with green marking from Zestial, and a white cat with a small blue halo, small white wings and grey eyes from Micheal, Azrael, God and Leo. She also got a fake, pink and gold bomb from Cherri.
