Birthday Bunkum!

The Big Day: Finally Revealed

I couldn't help but fall to my knees due to the impact of shock as I saw the entire scene that was quickly unfolding around me. It was so shocking on how everything happened so suddenly; one minute, Ubercorn and I were in the forest, with me looking around in the dark clearing while pleading Ubercorn to leave; the next, bright lights shot open, and we were surrounded by many party things, with all my friends around me, and joy was in the air. A wonderful urge to laugh came to me as I feasted my eyes on everyone's work.

"You guys-!" I said, finally smiling for the first time since yesterday night, "you-you shouldn't have done this!"

"Nah, it was nothing." Said Lars, who stood beside Foz, Lily, and Tim, "we're happy to make sure you're happy!"

"And besides, after we heard of what happened to you from Ubercorn, we decided to make sure you were safe before you got here," Bailey added, a bright yet faintly exhausted smile etched upon her face, "after I comforted you last night, I told everyone to be gentle with you, considering you seemed to be going through a lot."

"We came up with this party as a plan to cheer you up," Lily shrugged "Seeing on how you were so down after what had happened yesterday-" She could've said more, but caught her sister's eye and fell silent.

"We didn't mean to upset you. We just knew to keep things quiet so we won't blow the surprise!" Lars said, "we...kind of did the opposite!"

"But we're happy you made it here safely," Kyan said, coming out from between the crowds, "and anyway, we're doing this for you and only you."

Their words made me smile, and they even brought a couple of tears to my eyes.

"Th-thank you...thank you so much..." I choked on my own words, giving them all the biggest grin I could muster.

"Now what are we waiting for?!" Said Foz, who had right about lost his mind at that moment (there was a brief moment of the children's smothered giggling for a second there), "Let's get the party started!"

Bailey rolled her eyes.

"Alright then," the older pilot scoffed, then turning to the others, she added with a yell, "LET'S PARTY!!!"
