"Okay everybody, listen up!" Elijah and Sophia stood by a whiteboard in the planning room of the Hamilteam mansion, trying to keep their friends quiet while Anjali was tending to the gardens outside.

"Anji's birthday is coming up!" Sophia announced.

A calendar was next to the board, just as big. On January 25th, it was marked with "Anji's birthday!"

"Elijah had an idea." Sophia announced, and took a step back.

"We should throw her a surprise party!" Elijah smiled.

"Oooh! I like surprises." Chloe smiled evilly.

"No maiming." Elijah scolded.

Chloe frowned.

"Anyway, on her birthday  we should keep her distracted after school so we can set things up." Elijah told them.

A door opened and closed.

"Everyone, act natural!" Harry yelled.

Chloe started belly dancing, Elijah turned the white board around, Sophia started screeching, Gabe started singing Moana, Harry attempted doing cartwheels, Mary and Sherlock started playing Patty Cake, and Lydia began to eat her mother'a shoelaces, because she was only one year old.

Anjali walked in, and stopped in her tracks.

"What the fudge, guys?" She asked.

"Um.... we wanted to see your reaction... to Gabe's singing... and my belly dancing..." Chloe awkwardly explained.

At the same time, Elijah turned around and did jazz hands. "We were learning choreography to your favorite musicals!"

At the same time he said that, Sophia kept screeching.

Anjali stayed silent. "You know what? I'm going to go do my math homework...." She slowly left the room.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, except for Sophia, until Chloe pinched her.

"Aah! Oh. Thanks." Sophia said.

"Guys, that wasn't natural." Harry frowned.

"Says the guys who was doing cartwheels." Mary picked up Lydia off the ground.

"Guys, we have to be smoother." Elijah scolded. "On her birthday, we'll send her out for a while, and then when she gets home, the perfect party will be in play."

Three days later, Anjali ran down the stairs to the kitchen, where Elijah was waiting for her.
