Pidge has been monitoring a calendar for the past few months and concluded that tomorrow was her birthday,
She was sad because she couldn't celebrate her birthday with her family, she pushed her laptop aside took off her glasses and started crying.
Lance was outside in the hall bopping a song in his head smiling and being cheerful as ever but stopped when he heard sniffing coming from pidge's room.
He knocked and asked if She was ok but she didn't answer, he knocked again, nothing. "Pidge I'm coming in" he said,
When he walked in he found the saddest sight, Pidge knees to her chest in tears and looking off into space,
He sat next to her and put his arm around her she flinched a bit but relaxed, he didn't ask why she was crying, he knew she was like Keith who if they were caught crying it's best to just be there for them and not talk.
He looked over at the computer which had April 3rd displayed on the calendar and marking that it was her birthday, he got an idea and once she fell asleep in his arms, he left to go plan.
Lance went to everyone and explained what was wrong with Pidge and explained his idea, they all felt sorry for Pidge because they knew it had to be hard not having your family.
So the plan was in place and ready.
The next morning Pidge woke up to Keith sitting on her bed with a platter of her favorite alien breakfast,
Her eyes were in confusion and yet lit up with excitement, breakfast in bed is something mom would have never let her do, except on her birthday, this nice gesture reminded her of her mother. But she sat up right away and ate the lovely meal prepared for her.
When she came out of her room hunk and lance sang happy birthday to her and carried her to her lions hanger where they were having a surprise party for her.
She was amazed on how they pulled this together.
They sang happy birthday to her each of them told her what they liked about her which she wrote down in her journal.
They had cake and presents, lance had gotten her a carved mermaid from olkarion tree wood, Keith didn't really know what to get her so he got her a necklace that had a little rover on it, Allura gave her an altean crown that is given to young girls on their birthdays, hunk of course the cake, but shiros was the most important, he had a USB port that had videos of him and matt and her father onboard the ship for the Kerberos mission.
When she saw the footage she was in tears it was amazing to hear their voices again and see their smiles.
She watched it over and over again, she couldn't thank him enough.
Pidge went to bed that night with the video on repeat projected onto a wall so she could see them, she knew that even though she couldn't be with her real family that she spent it with her adoptive family.
She had the crown under her pillow, the mermaid in her hand and with her other hand playing with the necklace, she knew she was loved and the face that they love and support her made her the happiest girl in the universe.
Happy birthday Pidge
