"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Sasori, happy birthday to you!"

"You guys are all idiot." Sasori scowled at his friends who had just ambushed him while he was reading a book on puppets in his living room.

"Open Tobi's present first!" Tobi jumped up and down excitedly and shoved a small orange and black swirl wrapped present in the face of Sasori.

Sasori quickly tore off the wrapping paper to find a mask a lot like Tobi's but in red instead of orange.

"Thanks." He grunted unhappily. He had never like birthdays much.

Numerous presents were shoved in his face throughout the next half hour. Zetzu gave him a small Venus flytrap, Kisame gave him a cook book on fish, Itachi shrugged and gave him some wood polish for his puppets. Kakuzu handed him a small keychain (obviously very cheap because hen Sasori picked it up, it fell off its chain), and Hidan smiled and handed him a large knife (only Jashin knows for what). Pein was the only one (besides Itachi) to give him something practical, the limited edition of Advanced Puppet Making, from weapons to hair styles, it had everything but it was so hard to find now that puppet making was somewhat out of style. Who Pein had to kill to get it, Sasori had no clue.

"Mine's in the backyard!" Konan grabbed Sasori's sleeve and dragged him out the back door.

A large box sat in the middle of the yard. "I know you like art and you're always saying how art is eternal so I got you…" She pulled the box open. "A statue!"

"Umm." Sasori looked at it. It was a woman with part of her long hair up in a high ponytail. Her clothes looked like a crop top with fishnet across the stomach and long pants; she also wore simple sandals and a look of fear on her face. She was obviously very pretty. It was a pearly white in colour and almost seemed to shine.

"You never get out and meet new people so I thought the statue could keep you and you're puppets company!" Konan laughed happily.

Sasori looked at it and mumbled a thank you.

"What the fuck are we still fucking doing out here! I want some fucking chocolate fucking cake!" Hidan yelled and glared at Konan who was in charge of the whole party thing.

"Shut up Hidan." Kakuza smacked him in the back of the head.

"You fucking shut up!" Hidan was about to punch Kakuzu in the face when Konan grabbed him by the arm and dragged him back inside the house and the dragged him back outside with a chocolate cake in the other hand. Hidan wasn't very happy that he was carrying the plates, forks and knife.

Konan placed the cake down on the table in the back yard and everyone sat on the patio chairs.

"Here Sasori. It's you're birthday, you cut the cake." She handed him the knife.

"Thanks. I guess." He cut the cake into a dozen pieces and everyone sat there enjoying the chocolaty goodness.

"What the fuck is this?" Hidan held up a wooden arm that he had just sat on.

"It's an arm stupid." Kakuzu stated and then took another bite of cake.

"I fucking know that! Why the fuck was it on the fucking chair!"

"Because earlier I was working on a puppet outside and I probably dropped it." Sasori rolled his eyes at the fuming Hidan who promptly threw the wooden arm across the yard.

After the cake, it was quite boring.

"Okay… I should probably get going." Konan said, breaking the awkward silence.

"Same here." Kisame got up and dragged Itachi along.

"Yep." Pein walked calmly away from the rest of them.

"Bye fuckers!" Hidan said as he was grabbed by the arm by Kakuzu and towed away.

"Bye." Sasori waved and waited for all of them to disappear before going back to the statue. What was he supposed to do with this big hunk of clay? Where would he put it? There is no way it was staying in the middle of the yard.

He sighed and went back inside his house just as it started to rain lightly. He looked out the dining room window at the statue and where the rain hit it, it turned grey in colour. Water dripped down her frozen face and it was almost as if, the statue was crying.
