"Good morning!"
Jester groaned and sleepily opened his eyes. Jane was happily bouncing on the edge of his bed.
"Go away…" he grumbled, pulling his blanket over his head.
Jane grabbed the edge of his blanket and yanked it off his half-awake form.
Jester shivered as the cold November air hit his bare skin. He had only worn shorts to bed that night. He whined in frustration as he sat up.
"It is barely noon…" he complained to the smiling girl.
"Do you know what day it is?" she asked, rocking back and forth on her heels.
"…No… is it "Hurt Jane If She Doesn't Bugger Off" day?"
Jane giggled, letting a little snort out at the end. Oh how Jester secretly loved her laugh. Though he'd never tell anyone, he loved everything about his fourteen year old friend. The way she bit her nails when she was mad, the way she paced when she was thinking, and yes, even how her voice cracked when she was yelling at someone.
"No silly!" She said, lightly smacking his arm.
"That's why they call me 'Jester'…"
She laughed again. "And how good you are at jesting! Surely, you must know what today is!" she pressed.
"Christmas? All Hallows Eve? May Day?" he tried.
"It's your birthday!" she blurted out.
"Oh… happy birthday!"
"No, not MY birthday! YOUR birthday! Your sixteenth birthday?" she said, poking him in the chest for emphasis.
"My… ohhh! Lovely!" he smiled, finally getting it.
"How do you forget your own birthday?" Jane asked, trying not to laugh.
"Well, I'm not meticulous with dates, like SOMEONE!" he said, reaching over to tickle Jane's sides.
Jane laughed loudly, screaming at Jester to stop.
Dragon's large green head poked through Jester's window. "I heard a scream…" he said, glaring at Jester. "Hm… half naked ShortLife holding my Jane in a bed?"
"Dragon, you jump to conclusions too quickly…" Jane said, wrenching Jester's hands off her. "Jester and I were merely playing…"
Jester got up and held the door open for Jane. "And now, m'lady, it is time for you to leave."
"I expect you downstairs in 10 minutes!" Jane said as Jester closed the door in her face.
"And I thought I was the jester around here!" he shouted back. He heard her giggle then walk away.
Jester turned to Dragon. "It is time, my large green friend, for you to leave as well."
"You better watch yourself around her, bell boy…" Dragon warned as he backed out of Jester's room.
Jester fell backwards onto his bed and sighed out in frustration.
Just tell her you love her! He mentally yelled at himself. But the small voice in the back of his head chimed in and yelled back Don't do it, you fool! She'll reject you!
Jester sighed loudly at got up to get dressed for the day.
