So, since my birthday is coming, as suggested by FoxyKhai0209, we decided to make a special story for my 18th birthday in Slugterra. Most of the ideas are made by her, but I add some of my ideas too to make it interesting.
Note: There will be spoilers of My Life in Slugterra, Team Phoenix, and other special short stories of Slugterra.
Enjoy!
Note: With the suggestion and help of FoxyKhai0209, I have separated the story into a few chapters.
It has been around half a year since the Emperor's defeat, and The Eastern Caverns is slowly regaining its beauty and peace similar to the time before the Emperor's reign. No, even better than the past. We have set a mark in history. With the help of allies from other sets of caverns like The 99 Caverns, Marinatopia and Belliggera, our relationships with them strengthen and we get to learn many things from each other.
With the Prophecy of the Phoenix fulfill, Junjie and I become the new Rulers of The Eastern Caverns. Junjie is being called as the Dragon, or Draco by the European minorities. On the other hand, I am being called as the Phoenix, or sometimes Fiery Phoenix by other people. I am really surprised to rise from nobody in the Surface to a great noble ruler. I do not expect that! I am struggling to get used to this sudden new status in my life, but Junjie, Master Lian and the Guardians of the Eastern Caverns help me to settle down.
Moreover, since the defeat of the Emperor, I have moved into Junjie's family and I am now living in Peach Blossom Spring Cavern. I am guilty for moving away from my family, but Khai manages to convince them with the help of Skylar Jayden Reyes. Later, I feel very happy, happier than before because of Junjie's family, including Master Lian and Hamengku though they are not blood-related. They are very kind and loving, willing to teach me anything with patience. In these months, I have learned to be independent, to cooperate with others, and to love.
Today is July 17, and it is my birthday! But this year is special to me. I am turning 18 this year! I am going to be a lady and officially a young adult! Early in the morning, everyone in Peach Blossom Spring Cavern are decorating the cavern with colorful balloons, streamers, and a banner for my 18th birthday! Khai is super excited about my birthday today since I am her close friend and she has over focused about the plan that she made for my birthday. Everything should be perfect!
Elke and Kord, the two Cave Trolls from Team KHEI and the Shane Gang, have set up the food on a long table. The Limax, Kalt, and Chaleur Gangs are setting up their band for the party. Annie, using her gifted ice magic, has made plenty of ice statues of the members of Team KHEI, the Shane Gang and everyone who is our ally. Dong Song, the ice lover in Team Phoenix, and Anastasia, the North Guardian are helping Annie out. Annie also creates an ice skating ring for everyone to skate. Her long platinum blonde waist-length hair is let loose and is tied into a French braid, letting it sweep over her right shoulder. She wears a bright blue shimmer glittering cocktail, a snowflake hairclip on her left side of her head, her snowflake necklace and bright blue kitten heels that was made out of ice. Khai checks everything to make sure everything's perfect. Pronto is looking eagerly at the huge ice cream cake, which is red in colour with larkspurs, vines, and leaves decorations. He is about to taste it in one bite but Ilys, the Molenoid tracker in Team KHEI grabs the back of his shirt and scolds him. Jia, Junjie's younger twin sister is on the ladder. She ties five colorful balloons on one of the cherry blossom trees. She is about to climb down the ladder but she suddenly loses balance. Jia falls but her boyfriend, Yuuki Aihara catches her in time. She thanks him and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Jie, Junjie's younger twin brother is checking the cupcakes to make sure they are 2000 in total. The cupcakes are set to surround the cake.
Khai rechecks a lot to make sure everything is perfect. Master Lian comes up to her and tells her, "Everything is all set and there is no need to worry." However, Khai is still worried if something happens that may ruin my special birthday. Then Master Minami Kaido, her master arrives and assures Khai that it is going to be fine and nothing is going to happen. Her words manage to convince her. When she turns around, she sees Aurora, the Snow Girl created by Annie is eating the cake!
"Aurora! What are you doing?!" Khai asks her in shock.
Aurora spins around and reveals her lips to be covered in red frosting. "I'm not eating cake…" she lies.
Annie walks up to her "Oh, Aurora. It's for Wen Jing," she says. Aurora nods in understanding and disappointment.
As everything is set and it is time, Khai decides to go to Junjie's room where I am sleeping. Though the room is actually shared by Junjie and I since I move in. She leaves everyone in charge and informs them to keep an eye of the cake to make sure Pronto or Aurora will not eat the cake. She also informs them to not let anyone enter until the time has come. Then, she goes inside Junjie's home, which looks like a beautiful antic house, yet it does look like a palace.
