We were holding it at her house.

Aurora's father allowed us to, and was actually very enthusiastic about the whole idea.

"I want my daughter to have a great birthday." He would say. "She deserves the best."

Me, Constan, Yeper, and our mom all arrived at her house in time to help set up.

We all managed to get her gifts, (Constan being quite adamant about not getting her one, but eventually agreeing,) and we set them on the kitchen counter where all the other gifts were.

I was a little worried about what I got her, as I saw it as kinda lame and cheap, because it was homemade.

My mom said it was great, and that  Aurora would love it. I just had to hope.

Yeper actually ended up getting Aurora two gifts. One was from her, and one was from her, but Constan would say it was from him.

Yeper was nice like that.

I looked around after we had put our presents on the counter.

I saw several pokemon that I didn't recognize, one of them being unnerving because it was a shiny sylveon. (Her name is Vanessa. Apparently, she was Aurora's cousin, [number 2] and looked a lot like her. Aurora's dad told me however, that Vanessa was almost opposite in personality.)

I sort of stayed away from her after I learned all that.

I inhaled, and got to work.

We were divided into different jobs: Yeper and Eveline decorating the cake, (Eveline's mouth watering at its site,) Constan, myself, and Shade, (a houndoom,) were all going to be hanging up streamers, Aurora's dad would be keeping lookout, (as Aurora was sent out to get some fake groceries by her dad,) the adults would be sketching some artistic designs on the streamers, Vanessa, Kin, (a pichu,) and Kricket, (a male squirtle) were all on touch ups. They would go around and make sure everything was right.

I began my job, and got a stool to climb on.

I had to stand on my hind legs to reach the ceiling, and hang them up using some special sticky puddy of some kind. Constan handed them to me, while Shade helped hang them up at other places.

It was irritating. Every time I would hang up the first half of the streamer and reach down to grab some more puddy, the streamer would fall, either on my face, or onto the ground.

Constan would chuckle at my lack of fortune, and I would scold him.

We were there for about an hour setting things up.

After all the streamers were hung up, me, Constan, and Shade all sat down. We would look at Shade, and he would always look at us like, 'Yo, what's up?'

My guess was, he was the 'gonna-act-cool-because-I-am-cool' type.

Eveline and Yeper had to wash off their faces, as after they were done with the cake, they had a little fun with the icing.

We all did nothing, and pretty much just talked with each other for  a few minutes, before...

"There she is!" Aurora's dad said.

We all immediately got up and went into position; only Aurora's dad and her grandma, (ya know, the vaporeon that everyone forgot?) could stay out in the open.

We dimmed the lights, (as it was that kind of house,) and all went behind our respective hiding places.

I heard the door's handle being twisted, and the door opening.

I then heard Aurora's voice, "Hey, dad. What are you doing in the dark?"

She then turned up the brightness, and I knew our cue was then.

We all jumped up. "SURPRISE!"
