Momo fell onto her bed, lying flat on her tummy. She was so tired.
Not because she had a lot of work to do or anything.
It's because it was her birthday today and there was a party organised for her by Rangiku and the Women's Association in the Tenth Division.
It was nice of them.
It was a whole day full of fun, laughter and gifts.
She even tasted her first cup of sake. Forced in by Renji who got beaten up by Rukia for it.
It tasted okay. But, Momo was not going to get addicted to it.
Then, there were the presents.
Her subordinates baked her cake and lots of cupcakes. It was very nice of them to steal her paperwork and do it for her secretly. Hirako-Taicho got her "Bankai Shortcut Doll version 2.0"
Renji got her a tribal baboon soft toy which said "Howl Zambimaru!" if you pressed its paw.
Izuru got her a calligraphy brush set. Rukia got her a plush toy. A Chappy one of course.
Rangiku got her a push-up bra and a revealing black dress, which Momo knew she will never wear.
And there were other interesting and nice presents too. The party was really nice.
But Shiro-chan wasn't there. He went on a mission to the Living World. And he wouldn't be able to make it in time for her birthday.
Yes, she was happy that her friends celebrated but her best friend wasn't there. It was unreasonable for her to ask him to come back so fast without completing his mission.
Lost in her own thought she fell asleep….maybe dreaming about her Shiro-chan.
