If you happened to be walking around the Academy before the sun was up, you'd see a group of eight kids rummaging around the Mechanic's Shed, looking for things that could make the perfect things for Xuli's birthday party.

"Look!" Said Kim, "Lights and beautiful systems! All perfect purple and yellow!"

"And look! A Turbo-Turbo-Turbo-Zoom upgrade Agenda!" Said Alex.

Lily lifted up gold, purple, and yellow ribbons.

"This place is full to the brim with party supplies for a pilot's party!" Smiled Lily.

"Now let's get all this into the Launch Pad and tell Ubercorn." Said Audrey.

They turned to leave when...

"Up early after staying up till midnight, are we? I thought that was my job!"

Bailey stood at the entrance, this time with Leo standing next to her.

"B?! You've got to stop doing that!" Lily shouted, surprised that her sister was thinking along the same lines as her.

"Sorry, Lil, but, honestly, we were planning on getting here first," Said Leo.

"Hey, Lily, this engine remover looks like a big foot!" Called Terry.

"Leo I told you to remove that engine remover!" Said Bailey, "You do remember how Xuli ran crying to me when she saw it!"

"Yeah, but her face was priceless!" Said Leo.

"We don't need any foot engine removers in Xuli's party, thank you very much," Said Bailey, "Now, enough of that engine remover. We've got to get all this to the Launch Pad and tell Ubercorn."

*A few minutes later*

Ubercorn was shocked to sea a load of things and rubbish being loaded into the Launch Pad. Kyan, Lars, and Foz were awaken early so Ubercorn could tell them about the plan before Xuli wakes up.

"Bailey! Leo! I thought I told you to bring something useful, not a pile of junk!!!" He hissed.

"Ubercorn, it might not look like much now, but as soon as we're done, it'll look marvelous!" Said Bailey. Leo nodded in agreement.

"And why did you get the kids?" Ubercorn added.

"They helped us load the things up." Said Bailey.

"Look, please don't tell me waking us up at half past four in the morning is worth this!" Said Kyan.

"Kyan we're doing this for Xuli, remember?" Said Lily, unusually firm for a kid.

"Fine," He mumbled.

"Okay," Said Bailey, "I think we all know that we're planning for Xuli's birthday later today."

Everyone nodded

"The hard part's gonna be-" She began.

"The cake!" Said Ubercorn.

"The upgrade!" Said Lars.

"The decorations!" Said Kim.

"No, no, and no. It's keeping Xuli away from finding out. Luckily, I had set out a few things for her to do to keep her away, but all the same you all should make up excuses to keep her off. Okay?" Said Bailey.

"Okay," Said everyone else.

"Good luck, guys." Said Bailey, "The work starts..."

Pause...

"...Now"

Now let's see what they're gonna do, guys.
