A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY FRIEND EMILY WHO WAS MY BETA FOR THIS CHAPTER
It hasn't even been a week since Skye got her memories back. Having just woken up while walking out of her bunk, half asleep, Skye only has one thing on her mind - coffee. She walks across the main part of the plane not even realising what is going on around her;
"SURPRISE. HAPPY BIRTHDAY." Her parents, siblings, uncles, aunts and Ward say loudly causing her to jump.
"Fricken' hell, warn me next time." Skye tells them.
"That defeats the purpose of a surprise, Kid." Clint tells his niece amused.
"It's my birthday?" Skye ask, finally comprehending what they said.
"Yes." Coulson says to his daughter, "We know you've never had a party before and we couldn't let this go without having one. Happy birthday Baby Girl." Coulson says, walking over to his daughter and giving her a hug and a kiss on her head.
"Thank you, so much." Skye says, tears coming to her eyes as she sees her family and a pile of presents that she assumes are for her.
"Don't cry, Girly." John tells her.
"For once he's right." Melinda says, walking over and giving her daughter a hug.
"And I have a surprise for everyone, not just you." Tony says causing everyone to turn and look at him. "As an early Christmas present to us all we are going to be spending five days at my house in the Swiss Alps." He tells them.
"That's really nice of you but we are the most senior and trusted agents of S.H.I.E.L.D; we can't just leave Fury alone for five days." Maria comments.
"Fury's a big boy, he'll be alright on his own for a few days." Tony tells them.
"He'll start a war." Maria says simply.
"That's a bit dramatic." Steve comments.
"It's really not." Clint comments, and the other senior agents nod in agreement.
"It's five days." Tony says, "I'm sure that Fury won't start a war if he's without you for five days."
"You're right." Natasha comments, "He won't start a war after being without us for five days, he'll start it after three."
"Really Romanoff." Fury says walking into the plane.
"Sir, what are you doing here?" Maria asks, all of the senior agents looking like they are naughty children caught by their principle; which they kind of have been.
"It's my goddaughter's birthday party, where else would I be?" Fury tells her, "Happy birthday Skye."
"Thanks Nicky." Skye responds.
"Now do you want to explain what is going on?" He asks, curious.
"I've arranged for us to spend some time at my house in the Swiss Alps, but they are all too worried about leaving you alone." Tony answers.
"Well, considering I have been trying to get you all to take Christmas off since you started, does Christmas Eve to January the second work for you?" Fury asks Tony.
"That works perfectly." Tony says with a grin.
"Good." Fury responds, "You have the time off, and that's an order." Fury tells his agents.
"What if something comes up?" Coulson asks.
"Then I'll handle it." Fury tells them, "I am not useless without you lot you know, in fact you make my job so much harder." He tells them, "Unless something that I need you to handle comes up enjoy your vacation, and that's finale." Fury comments.
"Yes, Sir." The agents respond.
"Now that that's sorted, let's eat." Skye comments.
"And you can open your presents." Jemma comments as everyone walks over to the table.
"You know you didn't have to do all this." Skye tells everyone.
"We know, but we wanted to." Natasha tells her.
"Did you really make all my favourites?" Skye asks surprised when she sees all the food on the table.
"Yep." Coulson tells his daughter, "Dig in." He tells her and that's what she does.
"Okay, time for presents." Tony comments.
"You know you seem more excited than me Uncle Tony." Skye tells him.
"I have reason too." Tony comments and everyone else rolls their eyes, "This is from me and Pepper." He says handing Skye one of the presents.
"A new computer." Skye says when she opens it.
"Yep, I built it and customised it to how you like your systems." Tony tells her.
"Thank you Uncle Tony, Aunt Pepper." Skye says giving them a both a hug.
"Well I guess it would be fitting for me to go next." Bruce comments and he hands Skye his present which turns out to be a lot of computer equipment.
"Thanks Uncle Bruce." Skye says giving him a hug and then she continues to open the rest of her present's. From Fitz and Simmons she gets blu rays or extended additions of all her favourite shows; her favourite and expensive chocolates from Ward; an arm guard from Maria; over a hundred arrows from Fury, and an engraved multipurpose knife from Garrett. She is just about to open Steve's when he stops her.
"You need to open Natasha and Clint's fist, mine will make more sense then." He tells her.
"Okay, which one is yours?" Skye asks referring to the two boxes left on the table.
"Neither." Natasha answers, "Follow us." Natasha says and her and Clint stand up.
Skye looks at the others for help and she sees with the exception of Steve and Tony everyone looks just as confused as she is.
"Wait, you guys don't know?" Skye asks her parents confused and surprised.
"We've got no idea." Coulson answers truthfully as the group walk out onto the platform above the cargo bay.
"You got me a motorbike?" Skye asks shocked as sitting in the cargo bay is a black and blue motorbike with a large bow on it.
"You got her a motorbike?!" Coulson and May say shocked as Skye races down the stairs.
"Yes, we did." Natasha answer.
"You didn't ask them if it was okay?" Steve asks worried, as he thought they knew.
"How do you even know how to ride a motorbike?" Bruce asks curious before anyone else can say anything.
"When I was about elven me and about six other kids found this old motorbike when we were exploring. For over a year we did everything we could to fix it up, and then one day we managed to get it working." Skye explains, "And we would take turns ridding it." Skye says and a fond smile crosses her face, "We hid what we were doing from the nuns, and the thing was soo old that I am shocked we didn't kill ourselves." Skye admits, "But it was fun and something that was truly ours. I've loved motorbikes ever since. It's kind of funny that I failed my driver's test though when I had been illegally driving a motorbike for years." Skye reveals as she turns the key and starts to rev the engine.
"She's told you that story, hasn't she?" Coulson asks Clint.
"Yeah, sorry we didn't ask you guys before we brought it." Clint tells him realising that they probably should have, "But just so you know Steve consulted Tony and got the best safety equipment available." He tells the worried parents.
"I would be a lot angrier if it didn't make her so happy." Melinda comments looking down at Skye who is sitting on the bike with a huge smile on her face; the smile of someone who is truly happy, a look that hasn't been seen on Skye's face since got her memories back. Even though Melinda is furious at Clint and Natasha for buying Skye a motorbike without asking, and worried about what danger Skye could get into on the bike, the smile that's on her daughter's face makes all of that negative emotion fade away.
