Delainey grabbed Buddy's hand and dragged him out of the room with surprising ease. "Delainey, please let goooooo!" Buddy whined. "I will when we get in there." Delainey said, still tugging. She let go of him when they got into the room, and Buddy sat down.

Delainey found her cousin Derek sitting in a corner, keeping surprisingly quiet. "Hey Derek, you can have the first slice of cake, if you want." Delainey said with a smile. "Really?" Derek asked. Delainey nodded. Derek hugged his little cousin. "Happy Birthday, cuz." He said, smiling a little. "Thanks." Delainey said.

"Time for cake!" Shirley said, lighting the 18 Birthday candles. Everybody sang Delainey 'Happy Birthday' and she made her wish, to fall in love for the first time.

"Open my present first!" Poppy squealed happily. "Sis, calm down." Said Poppy's older sister, Violet. Delainey opened the box and inside was a plush flower-print blanket. "It's so soft, thank you!" Delainey said. "This one's from me." Violet said, handing her a small box. There was a dream-catcher in it. "...To keep the demons away." She said.

"Mine next!" Shouted Annie Radd, running to get her present, a Guitar. Delainey's eyes opened wide. "Wow, cool!" She said, trying to play it.

Ginny gave her a ship in a bottle, Candy gave her a stereo, her cousin Eliza gave her a necklace, as did Eliza's boyfriend, Jim Rural. Buddy's present was the last.

"I made it special for ya, bud." Buddy said, handing over a package. Delainey tore into it, and there was a book inside. A book with dozens of photos of her and Buddy, and all of their friends, pictures that they drew when they were little, and some sketches Buddy drew of her. Delainey started smiling, and crying tears of joy. She hugged Buddy. "It's so sweet! I Love it!" She sniffled.

Travis crossed his arms and looked away. I spend weeks building that thing, getting splinters and bleeding fingers, and she loves his present more. GREAT! Travis thought. "Travis, are you okay?" Delainey asked. "I'm fine." He huffed. "No you aren't." Delainey said. "I worked really hard making your present." Travis said. "That's all?" Delainey asked. Travis showed her his bandaged hands. "...Oh. Well, you made a bed, so I'll always go to be thinking of you." Delainey said. Travis smiled. Delainey kissed his cheek then went for another slice of cake.
