The room was covered in the rainbow of all of his friends. Condescension walked out of the room chuckling. Her trident dragged behind her leaving traces of her blood and the others. A boy sat in the middle of the room. He sat with his knees to his chest. His tears rolled down his face, and they ran over his cuts giving him a burning sensation on his face. He felt a small tap on his shoulder. He quickly turned his head around and saw one of his reliable companions.

"Da-Dave?" The boy said confused

Dave's sun glasses were broken. One of the lenses were popped out. The one that was still there was cracked. Crimson ran down Dave's face.

"John. . .I got to tell you something." Dave struggled to whisper to him. "Happy birthday." Then Dave slowly lowered himself on the floor until he was on his side. Then he faced away from John.

"Thank you Dave. . ." John also began to lower himself to the floor. He laid himself next to Dave. John then closed his eyes and faded away.

His eyes quickly opened once again.

"What-what happened?" John quickly looked over from side to side. He was in his room. The light from his window brightened the space. John jumped out of bed and examined himself.

"Wa-was it all a dream?" John looked for the door. Then he walked towards it. He opened it, and walked into the hallway. It was dark. John felt for the rail of the stairs. John was half way down the stairs.

"What is wrong with m-"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN" shouted the crowd in the living room. John looked around dazed by all the noises. He saw all of his friends. John looked at the people in the room. There was Dave, Jade, Rose, and everyone else. John looked down at the floor. There laid three presents. John kneeled down and picked up the middle box and opened it. John was shocked at the contents. The gift was a videogame, but not just any video game.

"SBURB" John whispered to himself
