Sunshine City (Petekey)

VI.

(Here's the real next chapter, I promise. I'm sorry)

"Good morning, Pete!" I jumped on to his bed, falling on top of him.

"Storm, what're you-" Pete blinked up at me, confused. I beamed down at him, and flopped down beside him. "-doing?"

"Well, today's an exciting day!" I grinned, bouncing up and down a little bit. "You know why?" I raised an eyebrow, almost bursting with excitement.

"Why? Uh... Is it our last day in New York?" He yawned and rolled over on to his stomach.

"No, you dimwit!" I snorted at him. "It's June fifth! It's your birthday!" I rolled over on to him and started tickling him. Pete gasped, and immediately began squirming. He could easily overpower me and that's exactly what he did. I let out a squeak as I got tangled in the sheets, and he was able to pin me down.

"You can never beat me," he crooned, smirking at me. I sighed and pouted for a second before he let me up.

"What do you want to do for your special day?" I asked, beaming at him. I rolled off the bed and climbed back into my own. We'd gotten a hotel late last night. I was a little bit glad, because I didn't know how much longer I could go without a shower.

"I don't know, Mikes," Pete sighed, getting up. "I never really celebrated my birthday after I turned fifteen," He shrugged, going into the bathroom.

"You didn't celebrate?" I narrowed my eyes. "Or your dad didn't let you celebrate?" I called in a teasing voice. Pete's father expected a lot from him, and I don't even know how the conversation of finding Sunshine City went.

"I don't know," Pete sighed. I heard the tap turn on, and heard him brushing his teeth.

"How about..." I trailed off, thinking hard. It wasn't everyday you turned nineteen. And this was Pete's last year as a teenager. It had to be something special.

"How about we see a movie and then get dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant?" I grinned.

"I don't know, Mikey... I don't want you to make it a big deal. I mean, what's so great about birthdays?" He stuck his head out of the bathroom and he gave me a puzzling look.

I checked the time and sighed.

"Well, let's grab some breakfast and then we can decide what to do, okay?" I replied. "Breakfast ends in about half an hour. We can just bring whatever you want up to the room and we can hang out a bit. Okay?" I asked.

"Sure!" Pete replied from the bathroom before coming back out. "We can do whatever you want, Mikes."

I smiled at him and got changed quickly, putting my glasses on.

"You going to miss the city, Pete?" I asked, pulling my pants on.

"Of course," he smiled. "It's one of the greatest cities in the world. I'm planning on coming back though. We're going to go to a lot of really great places though. And then we're going to find the greatest city ever," he smiled.

"I'm excited," I smiled at him.

We went to get breakfast and I teased Pete a little bit on how much he'd gotten.

"What," he raised an eyebrow and smeared maple syrup on my nose. "Are you calling me fat?"

"Of course not. I have to be nice to you today. It's your birthday," I smiled at him.

"That's right. It is my birthday," he stuck his chin out at me, laughter in his eyes. "Which means you have to do whatever I say!"

"It does not!" I protested. "That's cheating!"
