*Summer POV*
I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. Rodrick was calling.
"Hey." I said groggily.
"Hey. Sounds like you've been up for hours." he said sarcastically.
"Yep, I've been up for hours. By the way, do you know what day it is?" I asked.
"Well, that's easy. It's Wednesday." he replied. I rolled my eyes, but of course he couldn't see that.
"Try again." I said.
"Fine, Summer. It's our 12 year anniversary." he said.
"Wait, what?" I asked.
"I met you on your birthday, remember? When you were 5." he replied.
"Oh yeah. I remember that." I said.
[*Flashback*]
"Mommy, guess what?" I said as I ran into the kitchen. She was cooking my favorite breakfast; pumpkin spice pancakes.
"Is it trash day?" she asked.
"No, silly." I laughed.
"I know! It's your birthday, isn't it?" she smiled.
"You guessed it!" I cheered.
"You can't have a birthday without a birthday party." she said.
"Yeah, but there's just one problem; I don't have any friends." I frowned.
"Well, we have new neighbors and they have a little boy around your age." she smiled.
"EW! You want me to be friends with a boy?! Boys have cooties." I cringed.
"This boy doesn't. I made sure of it." she said.
"Daddy said that I'm not allowed to go near boys until I'm 16." I said as my dad walked downstairs. My mom squinted her eyes at him.
"He doesn't know what he's talking about." she said.
"Fine. Can you at least take me to the boy's house so I can see if he should be invited to my party?" I asked.
"Oh, please, Summer. If you don't invite that idiot, you'll have a pity party." my older sister, Jazz, chimed in.
"How rude!" I huffed as I crossed my arms.
"Come on, Summer. Let's go." my mom said, ignoring Jazz's rude comment.

"Summer?" Rodrick said on the phone.
"Huh?" I asked.
"I'm coming to pick you up now." he said.
"Oh, um, okay. Yeah." I said, still confused.
"Well, see you in 30." he said.
"Okay." I said as I hung up the phone. Oh no. I only have 30 minutes to get ready, and I don't even know what to wear!
*Rodrick POV*
After I got off the phone with Summer, I got ready and went to her house. When I got there, she wasn't in her room, so I just sat on her bed and waited.
I was about to call her when I heard something. It sounded like... singing. But it wasn't loud and obnoxious. It actually sounded pretty good.
I followed the voice and it was coming from the bathroom. I can't believe it took me so long to realize, but it was Summer's voice! But before I could walk away. She opened the door.
*Summer POV*
After I got off the phone with Rodrick, I took a shower. I still didn't know what to wear, so I just put a bra and underwear on. When I got out of the shower, I brushed my hair.
While I was "getting ready", I started singing for a bit before I decided to go back to my room. Unfortunately, when I opened the door, Rodrick was standing there. And he was staring at me. Again, I had nothing on except a bra and underwear.
"What the hell are you doing?!" I asked.
"I-I was waiting f-for you in your room, but then I-I heard singing so I followed y-your voice." he stuttered.
"And you didn't think to knock on the bathroom door and tell me that you were here?!" I asked.
"Look, I'm sorry okay? I'll know for next time." he said, looking really embarrassed.
"Good. Cause next time, I'll find the nearest sharp object and throw it at you." I joked. He laughed nervously as he followed me to my room, trying to cover his eyes. (A/N: he's seen you in a bikini before wtf)
"So, what should I wear?" I asked as I opened the closet.
"Uhh, I really don't know. Maybe someone else can help." he said.
"Just pick something. I'll close my eyes." I smiled. I closed my eyes and I heard him going through the clothes in the closet. It took him a while, but he finally found something.
"How about this?" he asked.
"That's perfect!" I gasped.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yes! You know me so well." I smiled as I kissed him on the cheek. He blushed a little.
"Now that you helped me pick out my outfit, get out of my room, Emo Boy." I teased. He laughed a little and left my room so I could change. I could already tell that today was gonna be... funny.
*Rodrick POV*
When Summer came out of the bathroom, she had nothing on but a bra and underwear. I didn't say anything, but I thought she looked AWESOME. The last time I felt like that was when we were at the beach.
I love Summer. She's so strong and confident, and she makes me wanna be a better person. That's why I'm gonna make this birthday the best one she's ever had.
"Rodrick! You can come back now!" Summer called. I went back to her room and saw her wearing the outfit I picked out for her.
"You look beautiful." I smiled. She smiled back and thanked me. Before our moment could continue, we heard the doorbell ring.
*Summer POV*
While I was talking to Rodrick, the doorbell rang.
"I'm gonna go see who that is. I'll be right back." I said.
I went downstairs and opened the door expecting my friends.
"Hi, Summer." the person said. I couldn't believe who it was. It couldn't be. It shouldn't be...
"Maya?"
