(Dialogues mostly over time for the real story)

It is now May 8, 2015 and Alona is spending time with her family to celebrate her Birthday. The party started when Alona came home from a long day of school to be surprised by her Family. They hid behind various kinds of furniture until Alona walked into the living room, once she had everyone jumped out of their hiding spot and yelled "SURPRISE!" She was taken back by the sudden noise. Everyone in the room and the kitchen rushed in and walked up to her, congratulating the 15 years she has accomplished (Spanish speaking countries says accomplished).

For the next few hours or so everyone was talking to one another, playing, checking their phone, and eating delicious cake. As alona was walking down the hallway leading to the bathroom the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." yelled her mother "You relax today sweetie." Alona gave her a bright smile and walked in the opposite direction of her, she then let out a small sign. Unfortunately her dad heard her and asked "What's wrong? Not enjoying the party?" He says with a worried tone.

"No, no it's just that I miss my friends from California. I wanted to spend my birthday wit-." I was cut off by my mom who was yelling for me to come to the door.

She was giving Alona a furious look and practically yelled "Did you order something." Whilst pointing at a large box wrapped in red and green with a pretty ribbon on it. I quickly shake my head while raising my hands trying really hard to refuse. She looked at me for a bit to find out if I was lying. After a moment she decided to brush it off and then stared at the box outside. I came over to check it out as well.

I looked around for any address tags or cards attached to the box. Upon finding one it was indeed mailed to me with my exact address. On the back of the attached card says 'Open Me Quickly" Doing so I ripped off the wrapping add tape, my mom was confused as to why I done so "It is for me, but i didn't order it." I quickly explained

Inside was styrofoam peanuts and a cut looking frill hat. It was odd and confusing since a hat doesn't need to be protected when being delivered. I reach for the hat and immediately the hat rose into the air with styrofoam peanuts flying everywhere "Surprise!" yelled a figure from the box. After getting it together and the peanuts clearing I stood there shocked. A person was in the box and had giving me a greeting.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALONA!" yelled the person. Once I took a closer look it was Terriyaki. A smiled crept onto my face and i practically yelled out.

"OMG what are you doing here?" I said.

"your birthday silly." he replied. Alona stepped back a bit.

"Just for my birthday you came all the way out here alone!?" I said frantically.

"Yes and no." the response left her confused, a smile appeared on his

face and from the bushes came everyone else from California.

Everyone: "Surprise!" Everyone came up to alona smiling and holding out presents. Susan came up to me first

"We wanted to see you happy and we knew you were feeling lonely… so why not come by right?"Next came Alex and Ramona

"Here's some food." They said simultaneously. After was Nancy and Aivan.

"How about a video? or Maybe an animation drawn by yours truly of course." They suggested. I was tapped on the shoulder from behind by my mom.

Her face tells me what she is thinking so I responded before she could open her mouth "these guy's are my friends from california." I said while smiling like an idiot. She closed her mouth and said nothing more. Not approving or disapproving their presents.

Terriyaki begins to speak and says "Happy Birthday from all of us. We may not be here to comfort you, but we sure as hell won't back away from any problems you have. You are important to us, so don't feel down, don't feel useless. I know my words are near nothing since we are separated, but are hearts are still connected no matter what choses to separates us. You're lonely without us I know….and may not be able to fully understand that since i'm not separated from everyone, but I always think of you guy's whenever I feel hopeless. So stand up, we're not there but we always have a hand out. One day we will reunite again."

(Dang that was a long talk)

I Hope you enjoyed the story even though it wasn't really that good, but I put all I had into writing or typing it for my dear friend Alona. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALONA! "We're separated, but i'll always be with you!
