Today was an exciting and special day for Phoebe when she woke up in the morning, a bit earlier than most, and went to her big brother's room as he was still fast asleep and soon flung herself onto his bed to wake him up, and where this worked as he yelped.
"What is with you?!" Thor yelped.
"It's my birthday, 'member?" Phoebe smiled to him.
"Yes... I remember... The day my life ended..." Thor muttered, a bit grumpily.
"Oh, come on, you know you love me." Phoebe smiled.
"Yeah, I guess I do..." Thor rolled his eyes before smirking. "Happy Birthday, little terror."
"This is going to be the best birthday ever." Phoebe smiled.
"Could I interest you in a cool, refreshing glass of get out of my room?!" Thor soon complained.
"Okay, I'll go see Mommy~" Phoebe smiled, rolling off of his bed and went out of the room.
Thor then sighed and flopped his head back in relief. "Finally..."
Phoebe smiled as she soon grabbed onto the banister of the stairs and soon slid down it to go see her parents. Once she got to her parents, Phoebe jumped off the banister.
"Good morning, sweetie." Moxie smiled.
"Morning, Mommy," Phoebe smiled back, hugging her mother. "You know what today is, right?"
"Hmm... Saturday?" Moxie asked playfully.
"No! It's my birthday!" Phoebe told her mother through laughs.
"Oh, that's right!" Moxie then smiled.
"I just know that today's going to be the best birthday ever, right Daddy?" Phoebe smiled at her father.
"It sure will," Zolten smiled back. "Your uncle promised to come by with a surprise for you."
"Oh, boy!" Phoebe beamed.
"And if we know your uncle, it'll be something to remember." Moxie said.
Phoebe smiled.
"Wait a second... Where's the party dress I bought you last week?" Moxie smirked playfully. "You should wear that for your guests."
"Huh? Oh! Okay, Mommy." Phoebe smiled as she then dashed off and came back wearing a blue dress with white fringe that matched her usual hair ribbon.
"Wow, five seconds, a new record." Zolten smiled as he had a timer out.
Phoebe giggled and spun all around happily in her new dress. Moxie then gave Phoebe a plate of chocolate chip pancakes with a big glass of chocolate milk with whipped cream as her birthday breakfast and she soon began to eat them happily.
"Eight-years-old already... Where does the time go?" Moxie smiled.
"Time just seems to slip away from us, dear." Zolten smiled back.
Everyone else was getting ready for the birthday party as they were, more or less, being made to go, but they were promised a surprise if they went along with it and got it over with.
"They're just too colorful..." Cherry sighed to the dresses in her closet. "Back at Wayne Manor, Bruce has lots of clothes that fit my style."
"How about this one?" Selina asked as she held out a black dress.
Cherry looked over and took the dress, holding it up to her and looking in the mirror. "Works for me!" she then said.
"I thought it would suit you, Kitten." Selina smiled.
Cherry soon went to the bathroom and began to get changed.
"Are you gonna save me some cake?" Selina smirked playfully.
"I dunno, are you gonna behave while I'm gone?" Cherry smirked the same way.
"Maybe." Selina smirked back the same way.
Cherry soon came back out in the black dress, adjusting herself a bit to get comfortable.
"You look wonderful..." Selina smiled.
"Thanks, Aunt Selina." Cherry replied.
"I wonder how Atticus is doing?" Selina said.
"I'm sure he's getting ready in his own way." Cherry replied.
"He's a very interesting boy." Selina said.
"Yeah, he can be..." Cherry had to admit.
Atticus was seen getting in his best outfit.
"I just hope that girl doesn't cuddle and grab me like some little kids around dogs." Patch shuddered nervously.
"I'm sure she won't." Atticus said as he was finished getting dressed.
"I really hope not." Patch replied.
"How do I look?" Atticus asked.
"I think you look fine," Patch said. "Plus side, free cake and a party."
"Yep," Atticus smiled. "And I have a feeling this will be a great and amazing day."
Patch gave a small shrug, but he did smile back.
Mo was soon given a purple dress, but she liked the color a lot better than pink and the dress even came from Gloriosa.
"Isn't this a nice dress?" Gloriosa smiled. "It was our mother's."
"Really?" Mo smiled. "Now I see where I got my favorite color from."
"You remind me a lot of her sometimes." Gloriosa said.
Mo smiled to that before hugging her right away.
"You have fun, okay?" Gloriosa smiled down to her.
"I will." Mo smiled back.
Once alone, Mo began to get changed and once in the dress, she did a twirl like a ballerina. Gloriosa hid a small smirk to that since Mo was all about being a tomboy, though she had a soft spot for ballet.
Eventually, everyone was ready and they began to travel to the Moltenscar house for Phoebe's birthday party. Soon enough, all of them were there. They soon came to the door and Moxie let them inside.
"Stupid bow tie..." Thor growled to himself at his suit, feeling stupid in it before seeing the others and smiled. "Cherry! Everybody who's not Cherry!"
"Hey, Thor." Cherry said.
Thor soon came toward her.
"No, no, no!" Cherry panicked and was soon pulled into a tight hug. "Ugh..."
"I missed you most of all!" Thor smiled while hugging her.
"Of course you did." Cherry sighed.
Thor soon let her go, smiling and waving to the others. Atticus did a special handshake with Thor before they smirked to each other, pulling themselves close to each other.
"I'm gonna be best warlock when I grow up," Thor smirked playfully. "You're a Wiccan and will eat my dust."
"Yeah, right a god wiccan being beat by a warlock is never going to happen." Atticus smirked playfully back.
The two soon laughed to each other since they were best guy friends. Phoebe soon ran out happily to hug them all.
"Happy Birthday, kid." Cherry told the young witchling.
"We're excited for you." Mo added with a smile.
"Thanks!" Phoebe smiled.
"How old are ya?" Atticus asked.
"Eight!" Phoebe smiled, showing four fingers on each hand with her thumbs hidden to show her age.
"You're becoming a beautiful young lady." Mo smiled back.
Phoebe giggled happily and spun around in her blue dress, looking as happy as ever.
Eventually, they sat down for birthday cake.
"Where's Uncle Drell?" Phoebe pouted. "He promised he'd come."
"Probably procrastinating." Cherry smirked innocently.
There seemed to be the theme music from JAWS playing in the background suddenly.
"Never mind, he's here." Mo said once they heard the theme music from JAWS playing.
Everyone looked all around as the music got louder and louder.
"Gotcha, ya little monkey!" Drell smirked as he grabbed his niece playfully from right behind her.
Phoebe yelled out but then laughed while smiling up to him.
"I wouldn't miss your birthday." Drell smiled at his niece.
"Yay!" Phoebe beamed and hugged him. "What's your surprise?"
"Ah, ah, ah," Drell wagged his finger. "Cake first, then presents."
"Fair enough." Phoebe smiled.
"Yeah! Cake!" Patch cheered.
Moxie soon came to serve the ice cream cake with lit candles and everybody sang Happy Birthday to Phoebe and she soon blew out the candles after the song.
"I like my version better." Thor smirked.
"It's the same version." Phoebe smirked back.
Thor rolled his eyes to that.
"Here you are, Birthday Girl~" Zolten smiled to his daughter, giving her the slice for her.
"Mm." Phoebe smiled back.
