(A/N: Here's a new story about the D.O.O.M. kids (Snappy, Melody, Stella, and Murray). I hope you enjoy it!)

It was a great morning in the city of Petropolis. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the citizens were ready for another day. But on a morning like this, I can't help but wonder what Snaptrap and his men are up to. And the only way to find out what they're up to is to go check up on them. So let's go over there!

At Snaptrap's place (they left D.O.O.M. H.Q. when the kids were 7, so Snaptrap's mom wouldn't scare them anymore), Snaptrap and his men are up and about. Snaptrap is sitting at the dining room table, icing a cake, and his men are decorating the place with balloons and streamers, but I don't see the kids anywhere. Now I really wanna know what's going on here...

"Okay, now that the cake is decorated, I need 13 candles." Snaptrap said as he covered the cake before looking for candles.

"I can't believe the kids are already 13. I remember the night the stork brought them here. Seems like it was only last night." Ollie said with a wistful sigh.

"Well, the kids didn't think time was flying. Remember how they complain about time moving too slow during the school year?" Larry asked.

"And now they're teenagers!" Francisco said.

"Yeah, we are!" came several voices from upstairs.

Snaptrap's henchmen looked at the top of the stairs, and there stood Snappy, Melody, Stella, and Murray, who were now teenagers. It was obvious that they just woke up, due to the fact that they were still in their pajamas, but they were on their way to the bathroom so they could shower and look nice before their birthday bash.

"Go hop in the shower." Larry told them.

"Okay!" said the kids, and they raced to the bathroom, but they got there at the exact same time, so they did 'rock-paper-scissors' to decide who got to shower first. Once they finished the game, they went right ahead and got their showers while Snaptrap and his men finished getting the place ready.

"All right, I got the candles!" Snaptrap said as he uncovered the cake and put the 13 candles on it. As he covered the cake again, he said, "I don't want the kids pulling the same stunt they pulled on their 1st birthday."

"Are you talking about when they-?" Ollie began, but he was interrupted by Snaptrap saying, "That's exactly what I'm referring to."

(Flashback to the kids' 1st birthday...)

Snaptrap set the decorated birthday cake on the dining room table, and the kids were sitting in their high-chairs, looking at the cake.

"All right. Now I need to find a candle." Snaptrap said as he went to go look for a candle. While he was looking for a candle, Stella was reaching towards the cake. She got a handful of cake and shoved it into her mouth. After that, Snappy, Melody, and Murray were going for some cake, too.

1 minute later...

Now the cake didn't look great, and the kids were covered with frosting. By now, Snaptrap found a candle.

"Okay, now to put this candle on the... FREEZE!" Snaptrap yelled when he saw what had become of the cake.

The children immediately froze.

"Look what you did! You ruined the cake! I turn my back for 1 minute, and you ruin the cake! Well, actually, it was my fault that it happened, because I should've covered the cake before turning my back. But you guys need baths, and I gotta make a new cake! HENCHMEN!" Snaptrap yelled.

Like magic, Ollie, Francisco, and Larry appeared.

"Whoa, what happened to the cake?" Larry asked, seeing what had become of the birthday cake.

"The birthday boys and girls decided to help themselves when my back was turned." Snaptrap said.

"Alright, we'd better give them their baths." Ollie said as they picked up the kids and went to the bathroom to get the kids clean. And once the kids were nice and clean after their baths, Snaptrap made another cake, and the kids didn't get to ruin it.

(End flashback...)

"I don't think the kids have ever thought of trying that again." Francisco said.

"Yeah, 'cause Snaptrap made sure to cover the cake after that mishap." Larry pointed out.

"Do you really think I would let that happen again?" Snaptrap asked.

"Not really..." said Ollie.

"My point exactly." Snaptrap said.

In the next chapter, the kids will be waiting for the guests to arrive. Stay tuned!
