I sat at the dark wooden table, I was waiting for them, just as I was about to get up see what was taking them so long, the doors open and they came strolling in. Finally, I was starving, the servants probably 10 of them was dressed in black and white, they kinda reminded me of panda's, okay so the panda's all carrying different meals/desserts, they placed the food in front of me, I'm sure I was drooling of the delicious site in front of me and couldn't wait to taste it.

Just I was about to take the first taste, the table began the shake violently it was an earthquake. All in slow motion the food began to fly everywhere,a horrible view almost cry worthy, the walls, ceiling, table all covered in food but I was too late the move out of the way I could only watch as the beautiful pink cake came towards me, just as it was about to hit me in the face I snapped awake.

I glared at the culprit that woke me from the best dream ever and I didn't even get to taste one bite, not one. She only smiled innocently at me.

"Oh come on Clo your suppose to be nice on your birthday." She giggle, I rolled my eyes only.

"Oh, really how can I be nice when somebody named Tally woke me up, I was just about to eat the most delicious food there was ever made." I fake glared at her, her eyes widen, yes everybody knew, not to mess with my food. It doesn't matter if it is real or not.

She slowly back away, hands up in surrender. She smiled at me, still backing away, when she was at the door she opened that big thing on the face that she don't know how to keep it shut.

"You know it is not true mom makes the best food." And with that she dashed away probably going to go wake Fay and wish her a happy birthday to, not a good idea, if you think I'm not a morning person you should see Fay, well actually I advise you to stay far away.

I grabbed my clothes and walked to my bathroom and turned on the shower and got in, washed my with my favourite shampoo, and then myself with vanilla soap. I don't know why but I've always liked vanilla, it suites me.

When I was finished, I through on a random shirt and shorts, not bothering with any shoes, I don't like them. I dried my hair leaving it in its wavy state. And did a light makeup, usually I wouldn't even bother but today I know there was going be photos taken.

I make my way down stares to the kitchen, umm I could smell my favourite... food. Walking a little faster. In the kitchen sat my family everyone all ready munching on their own food, I quickly took my seat between my sisters.

"And a one and a two and a three... Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, you look like monkey and smell like one to." the three of them sang to Fay and I, if I might say terribly off note. We only groaned and we laughed together. Mom snapped a quick photo of us with one of that cameras that print it. When it was done, she placed it on the table.

"So, do you wanna go to our special place?" Dad asked. And we all jumped in excitement. He took that as a yes.

"So, what you waiting for? Go get ready remember to pack sunscreen. " Mom ushered us away. We quickly finished and run as fast as light up stairs and began to pack for the day.

Soon we were finished packing and on our way, it was quite a while's drive so we chatted and sang along to a few songs, and took in the scenery so beautiful with the forest a bright green colour, my favourite. I stared getting sleeping, my eyes getting heavier and heavier. Soon I was out.

I was being shook awake, I groaned and need my eyes.

"Tally, like do have a death wish? Because that's strike two and one more time, then you out." I said waring her.
