"Ok. This is the home stretch here. Remember, lift with your legs. One, two...
"WAIT! Someone's coming! Hide it!"
The door of the cabin opened to reveal...
A tall, redheaded, rather confused teen.
"Uhh... Jake? ...Robot guy? What are you doing at my house?"
Jake- the Dog, that is- sighed in relief. "It's ok, Bender. It's just his kid."
Bender came out of the bushes, holding a blue frosted, three layer cake. On top of it was a large, fondant ax.
"Uh...Your dad here?"
Wendy Corduroy shrugged. "Nope. He's still at work."
"Phew. Follow up question: His birthday's today, correct?"
"Ummm...Yeah. It's the fourth. Is that what the.."
"Cake's for? Yep. Made it ourselves."
"Our? You made me do all the work!", sighed Jake.
"Well, I couldn't be caught making SWEETS in front of the others!" Bender retorted. That's why I got him THIS!"
He held up a small, green wrapped box.
"Uh...what's that?
"The goods. TEQUILA!" (A/N: I'm just, what did I type? XP)
"...All I got him was a 'Hoops and Yoyo' card."
"What the he-y is that?"
"It's, like, these cards with a green rabbit and a pink...cat, I think? I dunno. You guys can come in and hide the gifts."
Wendy led the others in, cake and box in tow.
The door was shut... And here's a good place to stop.
Happy birthday to John DiMaggio, voice of Jake, Bender, Manly Dan, Drakken, Fu Dog, and many others.
And happy 50th birthday to my dad, "Tequila Dave."
Love you, Pops.
