But i was doing some checking on things and and if I'm right that
the Honky Tonks owner is named Paul.And they owe a Tab.
Feel free too correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you.
Now back to the story.
It's a little hard to spot but
Ginji is wishing for someone to remember
his b-day.And is happy that no one
forgot.
Title.
Ginji's
Birthday Surprise.
They had gotten through with a job
they received from a client yesterday.
An elderly woman wanted her kidnapped cat back.
The cat was a rare breed of large cat.
So a few hours and scratches as well some small
bruises later.
A purring cat was back with its all to grateful owner.
The payoff on the job was pretty good.
But Ban told Ginji to not tell that to Paul.
or else he would bug them about their tab.
Ginji told Ban he would keep quiet about but asked if some
of it could go toward the tab.
Ban agreed to that.
But the actual reason he wanted Ginji to keep
quiet about it is because he knew Ginji's Birthday was coming
up on Saturday. He has also been putting up a little bit of money here and there.
He wanted to surprise him.
They had a couple of small jobs over the next 3 days.
Ban asked Hevn to keep the jobs small.
This made Hevn nearly faint.
He really didn't want anything to go wrong.
On Friday Ban asked Natsumi to keep Ginji busy.
He had to make a few calls.
Friday evening.
He recently got through setting things up with
everyone.
Natsumi was on a 'Break' talking with Ban while Ginji helped Paul in
the kitchen.
They were talking in low to hushed tones so Ginji wouldn't
hear them.
They were at a Booth to the back.
"Alright Natsumi i need you to keep Ginji busy
for two hours tomorrow. Can you do that?"
"Of course!"
"Good. I owe ya one."
"Oh that's alright. But Ban can i ask what you got him?"
"Hmm?"
"You did get him a present right?"
"Aw crap."
"I'll keep him busy an extra hour longer tomorrow
but don't forget."
"You are a lifesaver."
Noises of a few dishes breaking could be heard
coming from the kitchen.
"I think i should take over back there."
"Yeah."
Paul came out muttering something
under his breath.
He picked up his paper up from the counter.
Natsumi went in as Ginji came out.
Ginji started rubbing the back of his
head.
"Sorry Paul sir."
"Yeah Yeah."
Ginji went over to where Ban was and sat down.
"What do you want to do for the rest
of the day Ban?"
"I dunno."
Hevn came in and had a fairly easy job for them.
And that was how they spent the rest of that day.
The next day.
(Saturday. Ginji's Birthday.)
It was around 10:00 am and
the plan that they made was put into motion.
Natsumi came out from behind the counter after hanging her
apron up.
"Ginji. Could you help me with something?"
"What is it ?"
"Well i need to run some errands for the
diner today and
i could use your help."
"Sure."
A little disappointed
that no-one mentioned his B-day yet.
plus Ban was
already busy doing something anyway
so he probably wouldn't mind anyway.
So with Natsumi and Ginji gone for a few hours
Paul called Ban and let him know that they left.
Ban thanked him and went to find a present for Ginji.
How hard could that be.
(Ban's POVish...)
He arrived around the store a few minutes later.
Looking around he realized that this might
be harder than he thought.
For a second he thought he had heard
Ginji's voice.
But that couldn't be possible since he was out
with Natsumi.
So he went off to continue his quest.
(Natsumi and Ginji's POVish. Same time as Ban's.)
She had led him to a store so they could pick
up a couple of things for Paul.
While Ginji was looking around for something
Natsumi saw the back of Ban's head and
decided that what Paul needed could wait.
"Ginji we need to go get
some Paper Plates and such."
"How come?"
"Well i know the ones Paul ordered won't be in
until Monday.
So we just need some for today and tomorrow."
"Sure thing!"
She rushed them off to the aisle.
It was then Ban turned around not seeing
Ginji or Natsumi he shrugged it off
and still continues his quest.
(At the beach.)
"That goes over there! Not over there!"
"Well who put you in charge anyway!"
"I'm trying to follow the plan that
we made yesterday with Ban."
"Oh...Right..hehe."
"Never mind. Just go give
Hevn a hand and I'll finish over here."
"Alrighty then."
Meanwhile back at the HonkyTonk.
Paul was reading his Newspaper while
a couple of girls were talking in a back booth.
whilest sipping some coffee.
A few hours had gone by
and they all re-met at the HonkyTonk.
Ban finally found a present he was sure
Ginji would like.
Natsumi was in back doing some cooking
for lunch.
Paul was reading his Paper.
Ban and Ginji were
At a place in back.
"So how did it go Ban?"
He was looking at him in Chibi mode.
"Hm, Fine."
"So um Ban..."
"What is it Ginji?"
"What exactly did you do?"
"Just went to meet Hevn.
But the client never showed."
"That's to bad."
Sometime later in the day nearing around 1:45pm.
Natsumi and Paul were in back loading a
few things into his truck.
Ban told Ginji that they were doing a stock
check.
"Hey Ginji."
"Yeah Ban."
Ginji by now was a little sad that Ban hadn't said
anything to him about his birthday.
"Lets go."
"Go where?"
"You'll see."
so curiously he followed Ban to the
Ladybug and they drove toward the direction of the Beach.
They pulled into the parking lot
and Ban had told Ginji to cover his eyes.
so he did.
A minute or two later
he opened his eyes.
"SURPRISE!"
Ginji was so surprised that he
Tripped and fell backwards landing on his
butt.
They laughed and Ginji muttered something
or other.
So they went and changed into their swimsuits.
They had played some games and goofed around until
around 5:00pm then one of them announced it was time to open
presents.
Natsumi along with a good luck charm bracelet had also given him
a Seashell she had found earlier.
Among some of the gifts he had gotten
was a joke gift set that Emishi put together himself,
Which contained Whoopee Cushions and fake bugs
and all sorts of good pranking fun stuff.
Shido had given him a plushies of a orange cat
and a green snake.
Shido had a hunch that Ban would get the joke.
Hevn gave him a couple of pretty shirts.
One was baggy and Black with a lightning bolt in the middle.
and a small bolt on each sleeve. It was a short sleeve shirt.
The other T-shirt was blue and had a picture of the sun on it.
with a crescent moon and star on each sleeve.
Paul gave him a glass that had a raindrop,a lightning bolt and
a cloud on it.
Ban's presents were last.
a GameBoy with a couple of games.
Ginji thanked everyone profusely.
While everyone was getting out the cake
Natsumi came over with a envelope.
"Ginji.Akabane wanted me to give this to you."
"Hm. I..It's from Akabane?
He sent me a card?
umm I'll have to thank him..next time i see
him. That sounded weird."
"Hey Ginji! Get over here. You need to make a wish on the cake!"
"Coming Ban!"
The cake had been lit and all the candles
were burning so he closed his eyes and
wished that they could be together like this
more often.
With his wish made he blew out the candles.
Then they made use of the variety of
dishes that they brought,so after
They had gotten some cake or some other food
that was brought.
They were watching the sunset onto the water for the night
and for the moon to rise.
"Thanks Ban."
"No problem Ginji."
A while later they pulled out the last surprise for the
evening.
Fireworks.
So they all sat down and took turns lighting the
various fireworks.
And the looking at the full Moon.
Ginji was happy because his
first wish was granted because no-one
had forgotten.So he concluded that this was his best
Birthday ever.
