(An authors note for Darkangle. Happy Birthday! I made and modified this chapter for YOUR birthday on Friday! :D)
/Three Hours Later/
/Kylie and Riley were playing in the backyard as Jeremie and Aelita watched. And as the group sat in the living room/
"I'm glad that she likes Riley" said Jeremie
"Yeah. It reminds me of me when I got Riley number one" said Aelita
/The parents continued to watch Kylie/
"So. Where do you think we should take her today?" asked Jeremie
/Aelita looked thoughtful/
"Maybe the zoo, or the aquarium. She really loves animals" stated Aelita
"The zoo? That sounds pretty good" said Jeremie
"I'll tell everyone that we're going, and I'll see if they want to come with" said Aelita
"And I'll tell Kylie" said Jeremie
/Aelita walked into the living room, as Jeremie walked towards Kylie/
"Kylie?" asked Jeremie
/Kylie looked at Jeremie/
"What is it daddy?" asked Kylie
"We've got one more birthday surprise for you" said Jeremie
"What is it?" asked Kylie
/Jeremie smiled/
"Do you like animals?" asked Jeremie
"YES! ILOVEANIMALS!" said Kylie, in one breath
"Okay, relax. Now what if I told you that we could go to the zoo, or the aquarium, today?" asked Jeremie
/Kylie slowly went wide eyed/
/Aelita and the group walked out of the backdoor, to see Jeremie being engulfed in a bone crushing hug by Kylie/
"I'm taking it that we're going to the zoo?" asked Sissi
"Looks like it" said Ulrich
/The group laughed as they saw Kylie let go of Jeremie, causing him to take big gulps of air/
"Sorry daddy" said Kylie
"I- It's alright, s- sweetie" said Jeremie
/Kylie looked at the group with a massive smile/
"I get to go to the zoo with you guys!" said Kylie, overjoyed
"I know! Aren't you excited?" asked Odd
/Kylie frowned, and then pulled Odd's shirt collar to be at eye level with him/
"Excited... Is. An. Understatement." said Kylie
"Uh... Yes ma'am" said Odd
/The group laughed as Odd backed away from Kylie/
"Me and James won't be able to make it. We've got something important to do later" said Wendy
"Really? What's important?" asked Chase
"I have an appointment with the dentist, and James is driving me" said Wendy
"Don't you have a license?" asked Jennifer
"Yes. But, don't you remember that I kinda lost it when we all took that trip to Oregon?" asked Wendy
"Oh, yeah, now I remember..." said Jennifer
"Well I guess the rest of us is heading to the zoo" said Ulrich
/The group then started walking towards the front door/
/A Few Hours Later/
/The group walked through the gates of the Central Park Zoo. Kylie, Sakura, Keegan, and Michael, were wide eyed the entire time/
"This place is amazing!" said Sakura
"We're glad that you like it" said Chase
/The group watched as Kylie and Michael looked at a cage of California Condors/
"It's the California Condors!" said Kylie
"You know what these are?" asked Sissi
"They're an endangered species of Condor!" said Kylie
"Wow. It looks like you're really smart when it comes to animals" said Yumi
"I am!" said Kylie
/Kylie and the group then started walking towards the reptile rooms/
/James was sitting in a waiting room with his sister, Wendy, who was feeling a cavity on her tooth with her finger/
"My tooth feels like the grand canyon is in it" said Wendy
/James looked at his watch with boredom/
"You bored?" asked Wendy
"Sadly" said James
"Don't you wish that Vanessa was here?" asked Wendy
/James blushed as Wendy mentioned his girlfriend/
"That's cute" joked James
/Wendy chuckled, then frowned with pain/
"You okay?" asked James
"No. My tooth is killing me!" said Wendy
"You'll be fine. Don't act like a big baby" said James
/Wendy stuck her tongue out at James. Then the brother and sister saw a dentist looking at them/
"Wendy Enheart?" asked the dentist
/Wendy and James stood up/
"Uh... Yeah, that's me" said Wendy
"Come with me" said the dentist
/James and Wendy walked with the dentist into another room/
/Kylie, Keegan, Sakura, and Michael were in front of a large aquarium tank, watching a stingray swim by them/
"They look so freaky!" said Michael
"Tell me about it..." said Sakura
/Jeremie and Aelita walked to the group of kids/
"Are these the stingrays?" asked Jeremie
"Yes. They look freaky!" said Kylie
"They sure do..." said Aelita, staring at a stingray
"Aren't these the type of animal that killed the crocodile hunter?" asked Keegan
"Yeah. Back in 2006, I think" said Jeremie
/The rest of the group approached/
"Hey. Where's the lions?" asked Odd
"Odd. This is Kylie's birthday. So we go where she wants to go" said Sissi
"I want to see the giraffes!" said Kylie, with excitement
"Giraffes, it is" said Yumi
/The group started walking towards the giraffe pens/
/Wendy went wide eyed as she saw Dr. Patelli grab a tooth cleaning tool. The dentist smiled when she saw Wendy's expression/
"Don't worry. It won't hurt at all" said Dr. Patelli
/Wendy calmed down a little. She looked over at James who was sitting next to her/
"What happened when you went to the dentist?" asked Wendy
"It didn't hurt. Don't worry, sis" said James
/James grabbed Wendy's hand in a supporting way/
"Would you like Nitrous Oxide? Or a shot?" asked Dr. Patelli
"Nitrous, please. I have a fear of needles" said Wendy
"Nitrous Oxide?" asked James
"Laughing gas" clarified Dr. Patelli
/Dr. Petelli put a small mask on Wendy's face. Wendy took a deep breath, and then almost immediately started giggling/
"This is gonna be a long day..." said James
/Kylie laughed as a giraffe walked to the group/
"He's so tall!" said Kylie
"I know! Why does he have a huge neck?" asked Keegan
"It's to help a giraffe reach leaves in tall trees" said Kylie
"Wow. I didn't know that" said Miranda
"She's a really smart girl" said Jeremie
/Jeremie grabbed Kylie and let her sit on his shoulders, allowing her to look at the giraffes closer. Dylan and Rebecca were a short distance away from the group/
"-The House of Representatives is not going to be easy. You know that, right?" asked Rebecca
"Of course. But I'm only wondering if you're up for something like this" said Dylan
/Rebecca smiled/
"Me and Michael support you. So, when are you telling everyone else that you're running for senator?" asked Rebecca
"Sometime later. It'll be after Kylie's birthday, though" said Dylan
"I understand. We don't want to draw attention away from the birthday girl" said Rebecca
/Dylan smiled as he and Rebecca locked hands/
"Just know though. I'm not aspiring to be the first lady, anytime soon" said Rebecca
"Same here. The Presidency is WAY over my league" said Dylan
/Rebecca and Dylan walked back to the group/
/Wendy and James walked out of the dentists office. Wendy had a small bandage tied above her head that held an ice pack to her cheek. And she was giggling, and stumbling, as she was being walked out by James/
"You okay?" asked James
"Yes! This is awesome! There's so much color!" said Wendy
/James chuckled as he helped Wendy into the passenger seat of his car. He walked to the other side and sat in the drivers seat/
"OHMYGOD!" said Wendy
/James jumped a little from fright/
"What?!" asked James
/Wendy pointed to a small hula girl on the dashboard/
"Why is she small?! Where did she come from?!" asked Wendy
"A 99 cent store..." said James
"WHAT?! WHY CAN'T IT BE A DOLLAR STORE?!" asked Wendy
"Wow... You are high as a fucking kite right now, aren't you?" said James
/Wendy went wide eyed/
"No... No! I DON'T WANT TO BE A KITE!" said Wendy
"It was an expression!" said James
"I don't want to be expressed!" asked Wendy
/Wendy started sobbing/
"Why in the hell are you crying?!" asked James
"There's no air in space!" said Wendy
"What in the sam hell are you talking about?!" asked James, who was getting confused
"NO AIR! IN-" said Wendy
/Wendy stopped mid sentence, and pointed at a copper colored object on the floor/
"Oh, look! A penny!" said Wendy
/James groaned as he started his car, and as Wendy started giggling and playing with the penny in her hands/
