Alex POV
We were going back to camp when the memories started hitting me in the head like a ton of bricks...

*flashback*
Today was my 6th birthday! I was so excited. I woke that day, and ran down the stairs to see my mom and my dad making breakfast. "Mommy! Daddy!" They turned around and looked down at my 6 year old self. "Alex! Happy Birthday! You woke just in time!" My mom and I cheered and she took the plate to the table. I spun around ready to follow her when dad picked me up and carried me there himself. I was a giggling mess for the hole ride.

He set me down on the chair and my mom got out a camera. I smiled after she said, "Cheese!" A small flash of light appeared and diapered. I rubbed my eyes and regained my vision. Looking down I see a cake that is the shape of a moon (crescent) and a smaller cake that was the shape of a star. "WHOA!" My little hands clapped together excitedly. "That's not all." My dad said, pulling out a small wrapped box. I gasped. "Early present!" I clapped again. "Open it," said my mom.

I nodded and grabbed the box. "Big sissy!!" Natalie ran down the stairs and over to me. Natalie was 3 at the time. "Are you open my present yet?" She said adorably. My dad chuckled. I nodded and went back to opening my gift. Once I got the top of the box off, I peeked inside. I gasped and held it up. "It's so pretty!" I hugged my sister and she hugged back. Our mom and dad join in too.
