Coming around the cake, Velma got first dibs on what she wanted to eat. Looking over a cake version of herself, she was surprised at how well Shaggy had managed to depict her in cake form. From her cropped haircut, to her comfortable sweater and skirt combo, and even down to the offending Mary Janes that caused all this stress.

"Those!"

She pointed her awaiting fork at the shoes. She was going to get her own form of tasty revenge on them. Which made Fred laugh.

With the shoes, and a bit of her knee socks as well, claimed by Velma, the gang proceeded to divvy up bit and parts of Velma for the rest of the gang to enjoy. Though Velma didn't try to think of it to deeply, as the rest of the gang chowed down on parts of her.

Corralling Velma to the living room couches, she was herded to her favorite dent on one couch. Her personal spot she had claimed, and had worn a indent into the perfect curve that she loved to sit into. Once sitting, the gang broke apart to retrieve all the hidden presents that had been tucked out of sight.

Fred was first. Knowing that she had been complaining about her computer, he made sure to pay attention to enough of her techno babble to decode that she needed more RAM for it. It took a bit of hunting, but finally he had found the right make and model she needed. Putting it into a necklace box he had gotten, he fooled her into thinking it was something different until she had ripped past the packaging and opened the box to find it's real contents. He also made sure to add a program she had been drooling at whenever they went to the computer store. Which would run a lot smoother, now that she had the extra RAM to handle it.

Shaggy was a lot simpler. He was more for handmade gifts. So he had spent a long time gathering the right kind of materials to hand craft a set of sandals for Velma. Something that was tough enough to go outside, but light enough to pad about the house in. He also included the recipe for the Velma cake, just in case she wanted to make another one in the future. At first she didn't know who else would enjoy eating a cake version of her, but she bet that her parents would get a kick out of it, so she would have to remember that for maybe their anniversary.

Scooby was also down to earth with her present... With a bone that he must have unburied earlier that morning. It still had some dirt still clinging to it. But she smiled and thanked him all the same. It was the thought that counted.

Looking over to the red head, she expected to see a mound of presents waiting to be opened from her. Yet she hadn't moved to gather them. And the confusion was clear on Velma's face, which Daphne could clearly see. Her face breaking open to a smile, she gave the younger woman a laugh.

"You're wondering where my gifts are, aren't you? You're wearing them silly!"

Her eyes widening, Velma looked down at her outfit. Yes, they were the same style that she always wore, but the material was new and not worn in all the right spots she was used too. No wonder they had felt differently when she was putting them on. They had been new, and not her old set that had seen better days.

"You don't know how hard it was not to go get you a whole new wardrobe, but I know you like what you like. So I just got you more of them."

Getting up from where she had been sitting, she made sure to give Daphne a hug for her restraint. She knew it must have been hard for the woman not to give in to temptation. But Christmas would be coming, and she might not fight the urge as much as she did this time.

"Also, that tape recorder is also a gift from us. We thought you might like it to take notes in when you didn't want to carry around your laptop."

Mentioned Fred, letting her know that the offending recorder was also a present. Though Velma would be happy to erase the 'mystery' from its memory.

"Jinkies guys, thanks. This seemed like the worst day, but it really turned out to be the best day! Thanks! Come here!"

Motioning them to come close, she drew them all into another group hug. She had been so happy that it had been all a misunderstanding and the birthday was a great surprise. She didn't know what they had been doing and had really caught her off guard. She gave them credit for that. Since it didn't happen often. They all smiled back as she hugged them, but Fred worn a smile that said a lot more.

"...It's not over yet." He spoke up, moving a bit away from the hug.

"Oh?"

Velma wondered, giving Fred a look. He just smiled and moved away from her and to one side of the room. The room when dark again and this time a screen popped up. Fred stood in front of the screen and made his voice like the one she had heard on the tape.

"Congratulations Mystery Inc, but you have not gotten away from my clutches yet. Fear the wrath of my... Home Movies!"

As Fred said the last part he dodged out of the way as Shaggy cued up the first bit of the home movie. Velma's face turned as red as her skirt as she watched the first section play. It was from their case where they proved that there was no vampire. But At the end of that case, since they inadvertently won the battle of the bands, they had to perform, with Velma front and center in a rather outrageous outfit. Velma tried to scramble away in embarrassment but Daphne pulled her back. Settling her down for a long series of embarrassing moments of Velma Dinkley!

"Guys... Nooo..."
