-In honor of the big man himself. This will kind of be long.-

*The past week you have been secretly acquiring decorations and making plans for Russel's birthday. This is the first birthday that you have spent together since he left New York. You were on your bed wrapping Russel's gift when you hear a knock at the door.*

You: J-just a minute *silently freaks out for a moment before you finally slide the gift and wrapping paper under your bed. You walk to your door and open it to see Russell.* Oh, hey Russ *you try to act super casual.*

Russell: Hey (y/n). Are you ok? You've been pretty quiet since you came.

You: Oh, yea don't worry about me. I just don't want to get into your way, I know you're busy.

Russel: But I am never too busy for you, (n/n).

You: I hate it when you call me that.

Russel: Yea I know. *he chuckles a little* Since we haven't seen each other in years you are really in for it and there is nothing that you can do about it.

*Murdoc was calling Russell from down the hall. He took his leave and you closed your door. You returned to your desk where your checklist laid all that was left was the birthday cake. That would the hardest part considering  that you never buy a cake for Russell you always made it from scratch. You needed a distraction to keep Russell at bay. With this in mind you walked to Noodle's room. You talk in Japanese just in case if anyone mistakenly overheard your conversation with her. She was very excited to hear of your plans for Russell's party. She agreed to keep him busy, while you bake the cake. You walked to 2D's room and knocked on his door. He opened his door and he was quite surprised that it was you.*

You: * you pushed him into his room and walked in and quickly closing the door behind yourself.* Hey, sorry to intrude like this but I need to ask a favor of you. Could you help me cook Russell's cake?

2D: Well, I could but ummmm I don't kno how to cook. I don't know how much help I can be.

You: That's fine I will do the majority of the work.

2D: Well ok then. 

You: Thank you so much * you left his room and your last stop was Murdoc's room. You were holding a bag of party decorations, hoping Russel doesn't walk by.*

*You knocked on his door and there was nothing. You kept knocking until you heard him stumble out of his bed and walk to his door. He quickly swung the door open *

Murdoc: *Yelling * WHAT IS ALL THIS RUCKUS?!!

You: I need to ask you something important.

Murdoc: Is the studio on fire? 

You: No.

Murdoc: Is someone dying?

You: No

Murdoc: Is our tour cancelled?

You: I couldn't answer that.

Murdoc: Then to me it is not important. *He tried to close the door in your face, but you quickly place your foot in front of the door.*

You: Honestly, I don't care how important it is to you. Today is Russell's birthday, and you will help prepare for the party tonight. Do we have an understanding?

Murdoc: *he looked surprised since this is among the first interactions you two have had, in addition no one has spoken to him like this* Alright, alright.

You: Thank you * you shove the  bag of decorations into his arms* and don't screw it up. You literally only have one job. * You go downstairs to prepare the ingredients for the cake while Russel and Noodle went into town.*

*Hours passed as 2D worked to make Russell's cake. It was finally in the oven baking. Murdoc had just finished setting up all the decorations and went out to pick up the pizzas for the party. You and 2D clean the kitchen, there were many long periods of silence between you two but you didn't mind it too much since today had been hectic trying to get the party together.*

2D: How did you learn to make a cake from scratch?

You: Oh, my grandmother taught me. When Russell and I were little our grandmother would always make this cake for our birthdays. It is an old family secret that has been the family for generations.

2D: Wow, you know Russell doesn't really talks about his family.

You: *you fall silent*

2D: Did I say something wrong?

You: Ummm no, I just understand why he doesn't speak about our family. Don't worry about it. It's nothing really. *the awkward silence began again but was quickly washed away by Murdoc walking in with the pizzas*

Murdoc: When are Russell and Noodle coming back?

You: It will be another hour.

Murdoc: I'm starving.

You: *you put on your oven mitts and take the cake out of the oven.* Well the cake is done it just needs to cool and then be frosted. You can wait an hour.

Murdoc:*rolls his eyes and sits on the couch and watches tv*

*An hour went by. You just finished frosting the cake when you hear someone park a car outside.*

You: Turn off the lights.

*Murdoc turns off the lights and everyone hid in the dark. Russell and Noodle open the door and turn on the lights. We all jump out of our hiding places yelling HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Russell was happy to see all of us. He gave everyone a hug.*

Russell: You guys didn't have to do anything for me.

You: Oh shut up and just enjoy yourself. *hands him his birthday present . He immediately opened the box to a large variety of art supplies.* I wasn't sure if you were still into art.

Russell: It's perfect.

*Everyone had their fill of cake and pizza. Almost everyone past out on the living couch, except you and 2D. You quietly cleaned up the decorations*

2D: Do you need help?

You: No it's fine you should rest you have helped enough.

2D: I barely did anything at least let be help you clean up.

You: Ok. *it took you guys no time to finish cleaning. 2D went up his room, you both said your goodnights. Before you went upstairs to your room you draped a blanket over everyone else sleeping in the living room.*
