*Back at the mansion*
"My dad said tomorrow was my birthday?" Kid asked wide eyed.
"Yeah..." Liz replied slowly.
Kid's mouth twitched. His eye twitched. He formed a smirk...and burst out laughing. So hard he was tearing up. Liz couldn't remember the last time he laughed so hard, or remember a time he even laughed. He only usually smiled, especially if it was caused by perfect symmetry. And of course Patty burst into laughter as well.
Kid then fell to the floor, grasping his stomach. The phone then rang and Patty went to go answer it. Tsubaki and Liz stared at Kid who was just barely starting to calm down. "Hey, Patty." It was Maka on the other end of the phone. "We just found out Kid's birthday isn't actually tomorrow." Patty laughed out the words "Yeah we know. He just told us." "Lord Death told you?" "No, kid" Patty hung up. She walked back to the group.
"Now that's funny." Kid said while wiping away tears. "So that's why you were so uneasy Liz? You wanted to hide the fact you all were throwing me a surprise party?"
"We just wanted to do something nice for you..." Liz replied annoyed. "Thank you Liz..." He smiled softly and touched her arm gently. "But…I don't have a birthday. I'm a grim reaper, not a normal human being." "But it's not fair that everyone has a birthday besides you." She argued.
"We can just pretend Kid's birthday is tomorrow!" Yelled Patty happily. "Hey!" Liz yelled out at once. "We could do that! Kid how about we make you up a birthday?" "Um...alright." He replied. He wasn't sure if he wanted a birthday but to think his friends went through so much trouble... "But only on one condition." He said aloud. "Sure. What condition would that be?" Liz asked. "I choose the day" "Of course, it's only fair." Tsubaki chimed in after being quiet for so long. "Oh god, here it comes..." said Liz knowing what to expect. "Make my birthday on the eighth month, eighth day, at exactly 8:08pm." They all laughed.
"Agreed!" Liz said smiling.
And so ever since, Death the Kid's birthday has been celebrated on August 8th at 8:08pm. It may not be his actual birthday, but it does suit him. (Wonder why XD)
Well thanks everyone for reading! I got great feedback too which was amazing! I was going to put in the alternate ending right below but then I remembered I actually ended up incorporating it into this story XD I'm so forgetful. Oh, and as for Maka and Soul...let's just say they never ended up making Kid a cake… especially not a prune cake lol)
