Dear Zac,

That was a really nice date. And oh my that first kiss. It was great! And I love you for getting my stories published. I'm ever grateful for that!

Oh and you can tell the publishers that I will soon write a new book. It's still in progress.

Anyway, keeping the stories going. 

Remember that birthday of mine that you were so fixed upon planning. It was our first year of masters in university and my birthday had come on a Saturday during winter break.

So, you woke me up at 5:30 in the morning and took me for a jog. Like who does that! It's first of 5:30 in the morning and it's also freaking winter!
Anyways, once we finished our morning jog you took me to the 24 hour diner that I absolutely love! The funny thing was, that it was all decorated. Not for winter but for my birthday, it was all made red, black and white. There was the middle booth which was specially decorated for us to sit. When we sat down our meals were instantly served for us. Like how did you know what I like? Who did you ask? Did I ever tell you? You never know. Somehow you seem to know everything. And I never know how!

So we ate our breakfast, and the whole diner sang for me. Which was not my favorite part because well who likes it when a couple of people who you don't even know sing for you! Your reasons for doing that would be one that I'd never forget. You said, 'that's because not everything can go perfectly your way. So you know, you just put a few random people here and there to sing for you'.

I was so going to use that against you soon. Well, you know what happened when I did. That's just getting ahead of the story. So back to my birthday.

After breakfast we went back home and you quickly asked me to shower and change into something good with comfortable shoes. I was really suspicious. You were acting so weird.

So after the two of us were in good clothes, you took me to this extremely huge shopping mall. But you asked me to wait outside till you parked the car and came. Once you cane back you handed me an envelope on which it said 'scavenger hunt #1'

"Okay, so in there is a clue and also a receipt. Once you find the store, at the cash counter you show the receipt and with a bag of clothes you'll also get your next clue" You said and I nodded.

"That's it? Or anything else I need to know?" I asked you and you smiled.

"Since your the birthday girl I'll tell you one more thing. There'll be a lot of walking around to do. You'll be visiting a few stores more than once and I'll be with you the whole time. Carrying a few things for you because well, there'll be a lot of things that you cannot carry on your own" You said a huge smile on your face. You seemed really proud of everything that you had planned.

"Okay, can I open my first clue?" I asked and you nodded.
My first clue lead me to Zara.  I showed them the receipt and got a bad full of clothes. And a clue. I handed the bag to you and read my second clue.
It went on for about three hours. It might have gotten over faster but I did everything at my own comfortable pace and also stopped a couple of times to eat.
I got a few more bags of clothes. Multiple boxes of jewellery. Multiple boxes of footwear. And multiple bags of well bags. I also got a couple of bags from body shop which is one of my favorite stores. I hadn't gotten a chance to see what was in them. On my last clue there was not a clue but a whole set of instructions. It said:
1) Let's go back home.
2) Open everything and pair them up to make desirable outfits. You'll end up with 17 outfits.
3) Put on one of those outfits and pack 7 others in separate bags and place them in my car.
4) Now the two of us are going to hit your 8 favorite bars/pubs in the city. You have to wear one outfit for each stop.
5) Yes dear. It's one outfit for each stop. But remember, the last one will be where you'll be meeting people so wisely pick out your outfits.
6) Every place where we go we'll have to give each other one dare. It could be anything. But the two of us have to do it.

And so we started our journey. The outfits you'd picked out were all from my shopping bucket list.  And you spent way to much money for my birthday. Which I'm still not happy about but thank you anyway.
So, I cannot write every thing so I'll just write about the dares that we had to do.

Stop #1:
Zelda- get a random guys phone number.
Zac- make a girl buy you a free drink.

Stop #2:
Zelda- give a random guy your most hated professors number saying it's yours and tell him that your name is nightingale.
Zac- spill a drink on one of the bartenders shirts and run!

Stop #3:
Zelda- go behind the counter and make yourself a drink.
Zac- go to a table where people are eating fries. Sit with them make conversation and finish all their fries.

Stop #4:
Zelda- go and sit on a random guys lap for one whole minute.
Zac- dance ridiculously to a song played on the jukebox.

Stop #5:
Zelda- tell a guy that you've been stalking him for years and that you're in love with him. Give him a minute and then tell him that you're joking and that I dared you to do it.
Zac- tell a girl that she's hot and ask her to give you a lap dance. If she agrees tell her your only doing a dare.

Stop #6:
Zelda- use the dirtiest pick up line on a guy and and also get a picture with him after that.
Zac- tell a random girl your in love with her.

Stop #7:
Zelda- steal something that is green in colour.
Zac- steal a bottle of gin.

Stop #8: where we meet everyone else.
Zac and Zelda- you walked in with me in your arms pretending to have fainted. Everyone starts panicking I wake up and we start laughing!

And that's how I had the best birthday ever!

With love as much as the fun we had that day,
Zelda.

P.S. Rachelor needs to be taken to the vet next month for his check. DO NOT FORGET! I love you.
