I don't own NEthing from the Indian In the Cupboard or NEthing that I couldn't possibly own. I only own my OCs and the altercations to the story plot. This is based on the Movie and Not the book (which is still awesome lol). Enjoy!~
Surprise B-Day Guests
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you dear Omri, Happy Birthday to you!" Omri smiled as he looked around at his family and friends.
He was extremely happy that his cousin Robyn and her friend Dara had come to his birthday party they were two of his best friends even if they were both a lot older than him. They had come with Robyn's boss from New York whose name was Seras Dayle, Seras was nice enough but she smoked and drank a lot which was kinda gross to Omri.
"Blow out your candles and make a wish Omri" Robyn said with a small smile on her face.
It was one of the few she gave; she hadn't smiled much ever since his cousin Tamara had died.
Tamara had drowned a year ago when she, Robyn, Dara, Omri, and his family had gone camping, and had gone swimming one day. Dara had been really sad after Tamara died, but Rabi took it much harder than Dara, she had decided that Tamara's death had been her fault and she became really protective of Dara and Omri ever since. She had only recently began to recover and Omri was glad, it would have been terrible if she broke out crying like she did during her own birthday party.
Omri didn't mean to sound selfish, but it was his birthday and he wanted everyone to be happy for him and if Robyn was going to start crying he would rather not have her there.
Omri pushed these thoughts out of his mind as he leaned forward and blew out all of the candles on his cake, causing everyone to cheer.
"What'd you wish for Omri?" Gillon asked loudly, "Yeah, what'd ya wish for?!" Dara asked excitedly.
Omri's mother laughed, "He can't tell," she said, "He can choose to tell," Gillon argued playfully, as Omri's mother set a long red package in front of Omri.
Omri grinned wide as he gazed down at the present, "I bet you wished for a skateboard!" Gillon continued, and Dara elbowed him, "Quiet Gill," she said, as Gillon frowned and rubbed his side.
Omri ignored them, as his friend Patrick came to stand next to him, and he tore open his present to reveal a brand new skateboard, "They got you the good one, "Patrick pointed out as Omri admired his new skateboard, before letting out a triumphant "Yes!" he then started thanking everyone for his terrific gift. His mother handed him a skating helmet and a kiss.
"Here, I got you this." Adiel said as he handed Omri another, smaller red present.
Omri quickly tore the wrapping off of that present too, revealing a bow of figurines, Omri grinned again at his brother.
Robyn then stood up and handed Omri a shiny green package and gave him a big hug, "Happy Birthday Omri." She whispered. Omri smiled kindly at her and opened the present, inside was a bunch of stuff that looked like it could be used to fight off a small war.
"It's a survival kit," Robyn explained, "I figured a boy like you could put it to good use," she joked and everyone laughed.
"Thank you Rob, it's great!" Omri said happily looking down at the box full of things like binoculars, a tiny flashlight, a first aid kit, and a bunch of other stuff before handing it to his mother who went and put it on the counter.
Seras stood up too, and handed Omri a dark blue present, and messed up his hair slightly, "Happy Birthday Kiddo" she said.
Omri smiled and thanked her, he looked down at the present and shook it experimentally before tearing the paper of to reveal a red envelope, and he opened that too, and pulled out a small wad of money.
"There ya go Omri, that's forty bucks right there!" Seras declared with a laugh at Omri dumbfounded expression. Omri quickly snapped out of it and grinned even wider, "Thanks!" he thanked her again. He put the money back into the envelope and handed it to his mother so that she could put it away, somewhere safe.
Dara frowned at Seras in a sarcastic way, "Oh yeah~" she said, "Trying to make me look bad are you?" She then turned to Omri and handed him a large black and orange wrapped box, it had a white bow that made the box look like a tiger.
Omri laughed slightly and tore open the present, he grinned and pulled out another box that had "Modeling Kit" written on it, and a small red and black dragon figurine.
"Oh Cool!" he exclaimed, "I don't have any of these!" he continued, admiring the well made dragon sculpture, he could even make out shiny yellow eyes, and pearly fangs.
Dara laughed, "I figured," she said before placing her hands on her hips proudly, "I made it myself, so I'd hope you didn't have one!" Omri and the other looked over at her.
"No way! You made that?" Gillon demanded, in a disbelieving tone.
Dara frowned at him, "Of course! That's what I do for a living! I make things. Trees, buildings, cars, people, Dragons, anything that's popular at the time!" She grins again watching Omri.
Omri admired the dragon closer, "Thanks!" he smiled.
Dara grinned back, "There's more," she said pointing to the box.
Omri frowned and set the dragon down to return to the box. He slowly pulled out something wrapped in brown paper and string.
"Since you like writing like me, I got you that," Dara explained as Omri pulled off the paper to reveal a black book, that had covering that looked like Dragon skin. Across the top of the book written in Gold letters was, "Omri's Journal".
"It's a Professional Journal," Dara said proudly, "Only the best for an aspiring author like your self!" she laughed.
Omri grinned at her, "Thanks everyone, these are great!" he said.
Lastly, Gillon pulls a large cupboard up and sets it on the table," Here ya go," he says proudly, "I got this for you." Omri stares at the cupboard curiously.
"What a pretty cupboard!" his mother exclaims, "Where'd you find that Gill?" Dara asks, slightly surprised.
"I found it," Gillon replies, "And you washed it?" Omri's mom says more than asks, "Yes mother." Gillon says rolling his eyes.
Omri inspected the cupboard carefully. "Thanks," he says. Gillon smirks, "No problem bro," he replies.
"Does it have a key?" Omri asks, but Gillon shakes his head 'no', "Nope, there's no key."
"I have lots of keys," Omri's mom offers, putting away some ice cream, and Patrick's mom grins, "You save keys?" she asks, "I've collected them since I was a girl" Omri's mom explains.
Omri and Patrick go into the living room and start playing on his skateboard, almost tripping numerous times.
Finally Omri's father turns to them and frowns, "Guys not inside," he says and pauses to look at his watch, "But if you want to ride you better go now."
Omri and Patrick quickly grab the skateboard and head to the door, "Not alone," Omri's mom stops them and Omri comes back and looks at his brothers, cousin and Dara, pleadingly "Adiel? Robyn?" he asks.
Robyn smiles sadly, "Sorry bud, I got to help your Mom clean."
Omri looks to Adiel as well, and Omri's mom hands him a helmet. He sighs, "Oh alright," and grins wanly, "Let's go," he gets up and grabs Dara's arm, "but your coming to." He said dragging her out of her chair, fork still in her mouth.
"Mmph!" she says mock glaring, and tosses her fork into the sink before grabbing her Black, Blue, and Silver star-covered Helmet and her matching Skates with bright White crescent moons on the fronts of them. "K, Let's go!" she mumbles swallowing what is left in her mouth and grinned, racing out to follow the guys.
