Getting ready

We are still in the kitchen. But this time we are brainstorming. Brainstorming fast.

Maybe Nya can say she's hanging out with some friends and quickly go buy Zane five presents, one for each of us? Nah, Zane would be suspicious and wonder why Nya is not staying with her bro on his birthday.

I studied my plate of food. The bacon is hard and my eggs are now mushy. I sighed. My food! There goes my breakfast.

Stop, Jay! Focus! Your supposed to be brainstorming ideas not wishing for better food.

I focused my mind back on this sticky situation. I sighed.
I truly was stumped. How in the world are we going to fix this problem?

"I got it!"

I look up from my eggs and bacon just in time to see Cole snapping his fingers.

"I know just what to do."

"What is it this time?" Lloyd asked. "Did you add onto Kai's latest idea about putting Jay in a cannon and shooting him to the nearest grocery store?" He said bringing out the topic earlier.

"For the last time I'm not going in a cannon!" I huffed feeling insulted. "I'm no cannon ball!"

"No. No. No!" Cole said waving his hands in every which way. "We should plan a surprise party for Zane! Like schedule it for tomorrow and act like we always had it planned!"

Kai scoffed. "My ideas better!"

"For the last time I'm not a cannon ball!"

Nya nodded ignoring Kai and I, "I see what you mean Cole. That's actually a very good idea. Late tonight or early tomorrow morning I can run to the grocery store and grab the stuff we need."

"Can you buy us some presents for Zane?" Lloyd asked.

"Yes, I'll do that right after I picked up the cake." She said taking out her cell phone to call the bakery.

Nya stepped out of the room to talk.

"So remember we have to act like this was already planned. So no talking to Zane whatsoever about his birthday. Got it?" Cole asked rolling his sleeves up.

"Got it." Kai saluted.

I groaned. Kai's acting like he's a soldier. First cannons now salutes! What's next?!

I stood up from the table excusing myself. I then placed my dishes into the sink and left the room. I still need to wrap Kai's present. I got him a bottle of hair gel. Even though I personally wanted to give him the orange Polk-a-dot Sunglasses, but Cole insisted that he gives them scene it was his idea. Oh yeah, Coley-boy!? It was my money! I sighed. Oh, well. Hopefully this bottle of hair gel will be a hit.

I placed my present in a box. Then wrapping wrapping paper around, I taped it and stepped back to admire my work. The box was small and rectangular. The wrapping paper was red had a little bear on it and underneath the bear it read Smoky the bear. And on top was a huge red bow. Very Kai-ish.

I beamed. Prefect. Placing the present onto my bed I whistled the happy birthday tune.

Cole entered the room. "Hey, Jay!"

"Yeah?"

"What did you get for Kai?"

"Is he here?" I asked turning around to face my teammate who was digging in the closet for something.

"Nope! Sensei had to talk to him about helping Bob McBob or something. I don't know." Cole answered pulling a big box out of the closet. He grunted lifting it on his bed.

"Why do you have a huge box?" I asked.

"That's my present for Kai!"

"A box? I thought your going to give him those sunglasses!"

"I am," He reached in and pulled out the sunglasses.

"Umm, Cole you don't need a huge box for those sunglasses." I stated.

He smirked. "I wanted to fill the box full of peanuts. You know those plastic ones?" 

"And make Kai dig around for his gift? Clever."

"Yeah. Now what did you get for Kai?" He inquired.

"I got him a bottle of hair gel." I answered swelling up in pride.

"Cool."

"Yeah."

Silence fell between us.

"So, where are we going to set up for the party scene the game room is...under construction?" I asked him turning toward the door. "I should start setting up the streamers."

"Oh, yeah. Lloyd and I decided that it should be in the kitchen."

"Okay." I head towards the kitchen. I enter the room finding all the party supply's on the kitchen table.

I take the scissors before me and pull a few streamers in long strips. Then I snip the strips slowly making a pile.

I made a few more before tossing my scissor onto the table.

I don't feel like setting up streamers. Right now. I feel like doing something else. An idea struck me.

I snatched a pan from the cupboard and grabbed a wooden spoon. I hit the pan with the spoon. "I'm happyyyyy! Happyyyyy as a clamyyyyyyy!"

Time to get people in the birthday mood.

I ran around the bounty continuing to whack the pan. "IM HAPPYYYYYYY! HAPPPYYYY AS A CLAMYYYYY!"

I ran past Lloyd who gave me this weird look. I grabbed his arm dragging him into the kitchen. I shoved the pan and wooden spoon I had in his hands and grabbed two more. "IM HAPPYYYY! HAPPYYYY AS A CLAMYYY!"

Lloyd weakly hit his pan.

I rolled my eyes. "I can't hear you!" I called whacking my own really loud.

He whacked it again before creaking a smile and yelling. "IM HAPPYYYY! HAPPYYY AS A FROGGY!"

I grin.

"IM HAPPY! HAPPY AS A CLAMYYYY!"

"IM HAPPY! HAPPY AS A FROGGYY!"

Birthday time has arrived.

THE NYA LOVER OUT!
