"SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You blinked a couple of times while looking around shocked.

Pein chuckled behind you and pushed you forward softly.

"What the-"

"Happy Birthday!"

You looked around at the unusual and surprising characters that were all here under a beautiful string of gold balloons that spelled out "Happy Birthday (y/n)!!" hanging from the ceiling above them. Smiling excitedly: TenTen, Temari, Shikamaru, Neji, Hinata, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Konan, Sasori, and Shisui.

Temari smirked and hung an arm around TenTen. "I told you guys she forgot her own birthday."

Feeling your eyes start to burn a little, you started laughing and tapping the corner of your eyes. "Wow I don't...I don't know what to say."

Even though this was a restaurant that had obviously been closed down, everything was decorated in white, silver, and gold. Balloons and sparkling streamers graced the ceiling while white tablecloths that had white plates with gold borders were on surrounding tables. Silver and white floral centerpieces were interwoven between gold candles. It felt warm and cheery, perfect for the holidays.

You smiled and turned around when you heard everyone's collective voices singing "Happy Birthday", your eyes going wide when you saw the two people holding your birthday cake as the crowd parted.

"Make a wish." Serenity beamed once they got to you and everyone was surrounding you.

You looked from Serenity to Itachi, keeping your gaze on him before closing your eyes and blowing out your candle.

Cheers and applause erupted through the restaurant as shimmering silver and gold confetti started falling around you. Neji and Hinata both went up to hug you while Sakura took a picture of you three laughing.

Your brother placed some cake on your nose but then stopped. "Wait this is what people do right?"

You just shook your head and hugged him tightly. He returned your embrace wrapping his arms around your waist. He placed his chin on your head. "I'm so glad I got to have you another year (y/n). I'm so proud to be your brother."

You playfully poked him as you outstretched your arms to look up at him. "Stop I actually tried with my make-up today and this mascara is expensive."

While everyone else came around to congratulate you, Itachi and Serenity went to place your cake in the main decorated table.

Pein was the last one to wish you a happy birthday, you slapped him on his arm when you pulled away.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Acting all shady. I thought you were trying to sincerely kill me."

Konan laughed as you all walked towards the long dining table. "I told Itachi someone else should do the job. He thought Pein was a neutral enough person that you wouldn't suspect anything but alas."

You chuckled watching Pein's face contort into one of annoyance, but before you sat down you felt a hand on your back. You turned to see Serenity holding a tiara.

"Oh no." You laughed.

"Oh come on baby you're our queen. You'll look spectacular with it. Pleaseeeeeeee."
