Ash's POV
Today's
Johnny's birthday. We've got the theater set up, and all that's left to
do is to bail Johnny's dad out. I walked up to the police officer
behind the counter and caught his attention. 'I want to bail Matthew and
his friends out.' I said firmly. I gave him the money, and he shrugged.
'Alright, I'll get them to come out.' He said, and walked towards the
cell.
Matthew's POV
I
laid in bed, thinking about my son. Today's his birthday... And it'll be
the first time that he celebrates it himself. Without me. 'Please
forgive me Johnny....' I prayed under my breath. Suddenly, I heard a
police man shout. 'The four of you! Get up! Someone has bailed you out
and you are set free.' He shouted. That made the four of us sit up
immediately. Who would; or rather, could bail us out! It couldn't be
Johnny, he doesn't have that sum of money. Well, we'll find that out
later, right now, it's time to get out of prison.
Ash's POV
I
sat on a bench, waiting for Johnny's dad to come out. I've never seen
Johnny's dad in person before, but he had showed me a picture of him.
Besides, I'm pretty sure Matthew looks like Johnny so it'll be easy to
spot him. I started to hum the tune of my new song before I caught sight
of a gorilla, wearing a marron coloured shirt with jeans, and a black
leather jacket. He was laughing and chatting with his friends, while
walking to the exit. I mustered up my courage and walked up to him. 'Um
excuse me?' I asked politely but firmly so he could hear me. He looked
down and studied me carefully. 'Aren't you the porcupine that performed
in Buster Moon's show?' He asked. 'Well yes, but there's no time to
explain why I'm here. I need you to follow me to Mr. Moon's theater. I'll
explain to you on the way.' I replied. They looked hesitant at first,
but followed me anyways.
*time skip*
I
lead them into the theater, and immediately Rosita ran up to us. 'Oh
Ash, you got Johnny's dad! That's wonderful and Meena has the cake
ready.' She said, showing us the cake.'Great!' I exclaimed. Everyone sat
in the theater chairs and started talking. 'So, you are Johnny's
friends eh?' Matthew asked, his gaze falling on every single one of us.
'Yeah, we are his friends that are throwing him the best surprise
birthday party ever!' Gunter shouted, his hyperness making him do jumps.
'Hate to break this meet and greet session but Johnny's coming in five
minutes and we need to get in our places.' Buster said urgently. 'Don't
worry, Ash here has told me everything so I know what to do.' He said,
earning sighs of relief from the others. We all spreaded out into our
hiding spots and Buster went up to switch off the lights so it'll be
pitch black in here. And surely enough, the sound of footsteps can be
heard from the other side of the door.
Johnny's POV
I
opened the door and found that the theater lights have been switched
off. This was strange, as Buster hardly turns off the lights at all. And
there was no sound or music, so it just made me even more curious. I
reached for the switch and when I flipped it on.... 'SUPRISE!' They all
shouted. Meena, Mike, Rosita, Gunter, Buster and Ash all jumped out from
various places and came up to me. I finally knew what was going on when
I saw a big banner that read; "Happy Birthday Johnny!" I was so touched
and gave them all a group hug. Considering that it was hard so I just
hugged some of the smaller animals. 'You guys did all this for me?' I
asked, admiring all the streamers and decorations. 'We all helped, but
this was all Ash's idea in the first place!' Meena cried out happily. I
turned to face her. 'Really? Thanks Ash.' I said, hugging her again.
'Well, open your presents Johnny! What are you waiting for!' Mike
cheered and pointed to a small stack of presents on one of the tables. I
ran up to the table and opened my first gift. It was from Buster.'Cool!
A new skateboard! Thanks Buster!' I said, putting the skateboard on the
floor. Next, I opened Mike's gift. 'Wow, a new leather jacket! Thanks!'
I said. This kept going on for a while. Meena gave me a set of
headphones, Rosita gave me one of those drones that you fly around with
using a remote, Gunter gave me a backpack, and that was all. Hm, I
suppose Ash didn't give me one. It's ok though. 'My present is
backstage Johnny. But first we'll have to blindfold you.' I heard Ash
giggle. Suddenly I felt Meena wrap a black piece of cloth around my eyes
so I couldn't see anything. I felt Ash lead me up some steps before
asking me to stay where I was. 'Ok, you can take off the blindfold now.'
I heard her say, excited and curious, I immediately took off my
blindfold and stood rooted to the ground. 'What's wrong Johnny, aren't
you gonna give your old man a hug?' My dad chuckled. My dad... He's
here! I ran up to him and hugged him as tight as I could, resisting the
urge to cry. Once I pulled away, I turned to Ash. 'Ash, I can't thank
you enough for this... Thank you...' I said as I hugged her for the
third time in less than 10 minutes. 'Actully Johnny, I don't really
consider this a present so here, open your real one.' I heard her say
and produced a box from behind her back. I gladly accepted it and tore
it open. It was a nice fountain pen with my name carved in gold on the
side of the pen. I don't know why I did it, but I bended down and kissed
her on the cheek. I was surprised at first and I could see her blushing
like mad. All the others were silent too. Now I'm beginning to panic.
Did I make the right move? Oh no oh no oh no! Suddenly, a shout could be
heard. 'I knew it! Wooo! This ship is real!' Gunter shouted, dancing.
Soon everybody was cheering and dancing too, and I felt really really
embaressed. But then I felt a pair of hands wrap around mine. 'I love
you Johnny...' Ash mumbled quietly, only loud enough for me to hear. I
smiled, and celebrated the rest of my best birthday ever.

Awwwwwwww!
Adorable. This is the end for the first fan fiction but don't worry!
The second one will be out tomorrow or someday where I'm not so insanely
busy with homework. Remember that at the start of a new fan fiction, it
isn't continuous from the previous one so don't get mixed up. Peace!
