Quil's POV

Age 4.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, Claire! Happy birthday to you!" We sang. Claire blew out her candles. We, the pack (Sam, Seth, Jake, Leah, Paul, Jared, Embry, and I), Billy, Emily, Kim, Sue, and Rachel, were at Sam and Emily's celebrating Claire's 4th birthday. Thankfully, it wasn't princess themed this year. It was Tinkerbell. Even better. Actually, I didn't care that much. Claire liked it, so I liked it.

Everything was Tinkerbell though. We had Tinkerbell plates, cups, balloons, napkins, candle, banner, headbands (that everyone wore, kind of like party hats), goody bags, hanging decorations, and Claire had a Tinkerbell costume. I had to admit, she looked cute in it. I, of course, was dressed up as Peter Pan. (Pictures on my webpage/home page)

Her costume was a green/yellow colored dress with wings and everything. Basically, it looked like Tinkerbell's dress, with a picture of Tinkerbell on the top part of the dress. My costume was a green shirt with a brown belt and brown pants that cut off just below my knees. I also had a green hat like Peter Pans.

We had just finished singing happy birthday and were about to cut the cake when Claire spoke up. "Unca Jake! Where's your headband?" Claire stood up in her chair, hands on her hips. She may only be four, but you don't want to get on her bad side. Seth learned that the hard way when he wouldn't let her bury him at the beach. She hit as hard as she could (which isn't too hard, but can still hurt) where the sun don't shine. He tried not to upset her from than on.

"Why do I have to wear a headband?" Jake asked. "Quil doesn't have one."

"That's cause he's Peter Pan!" Claire glared at Jake. "Pwut on your headband..."

"Fine, fine..." Jake pulled the headband from behind his back and put it back on his head. Claire nodded, satisfied.

"Okay! Cut the cake!" She squealed, sitting back down and facing her cake.

Emily went back to cutting the cake and handing out pieces. As soon as Claire got her piece she dug in. "What's the rush?" Emily asked.

"I want to open presents!" Claire replied. We all laughed. Claire sat impatienly as she waited for everyone to finish eating. when everyone was finished, we brought out the presents and set them in front of her.

Claire reached for the closet present. "Who's this from?" She yelled out as she opened it.

"That's from me and Sam." Emily said. Claire started pulling toy figurines from the bag. All of them were little faeries.

"Thank you Aunt Emily and Unca Sam." she hugged them.

In the end, Claire got: a tricycle from me; a tank top and skort and flip flops from Leah; pajamas from Sue; a Tinkerbell playset from Paul and Rachel; a swimsuit from Jared and Kim; her room was redecorated by Jake and Billy; a necklace with a C and Tinkerbell from Embry (he got help from Emily); and a play tea set from Seth (he got help from Leah and Sue). Everthing was Tinkerbell themed. Age 4 was all about Tinkerbell. (Pictures on home page)

Wonder what age 5 will be about? I continued walking home. I had stayed at Sam and Emily's for several hours after the party, but Claire had to go to bed now. I didn't really want to go home, I had fun hanging out with Claire, even though she was only 4 and I'm like 16. She's a sweet kid and fun to be around. I'll always get to see her tomorrow though. I smiled at that thought.
