April's Birthday

Kate woke up to her sister's banging on her bedroom door. Kate blocked her out by putting a pillow over her head. April swung the door wide open, ran in and jumped on the bed. She continued to jump on the bed while screaming,

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!" After 15 minutes of that, Janet Van Dyke walked in and said in her "you're the cutest thing" voice,

"April, do want to go to the zoo today?

April stopped and thought for a second ,"No. I want to stay here and annoy Hawkeye."

Kate sat up and said, "Well what if Hawkeye took you to the zoo?" Hawkeye aka Clint who happened to be walking by, stopped and gave Kate the" are you crazy?" look. She then gave him the" I'm sorry" look.

"April, there's Hawkeye and I'm sure he would be happy to take you to the zoo on your birthday." April quickly turned around and gave him the puppy dog look. (When April gives people the puppy dog face no one can say no). Hawkeye breathed deeply and said,

"Fine. I'll take you to the zoo." April jumped off the bed and hugged him. "Go get dressed then I'll take you."

April let go of him and ran to her room. Kate and Jan got off the bed. Kate walked to Hawkeye,

"Thank you Clint. I owe you one"

"Yeah, Yeah, I'm a saint for taking your little sister to the zoo blah, blah, blah."

He walked out and Janet looked at Kate. "We better tell the guys that April is going to be gone for at least three hours."

"I will come down as soon as I get dressed." Jan nodded and walked down stairs. Kate grabbed a white t-shirt that said "my sister has the best sister ever" and her jeans. She ran downstairs and into the kitchen. Thor was drinking what looked like his fifth cup of coffee. T'Challa was sitting next to Hank. Both had a bowl of cereal. Tony was sitting down in front of his computer, doing who knows what. Steve was doing push-ups while reading the newspaper. Jan walked over and gave Kate a cup of coffee.

" I guess April and Clint already left, now we can decorate for April's surprise birthday party. Tony is getting the cake, Clint is off to the zoo. Everybody else decorates." Jan looked at Kate,

"This should be fun!"
