Today was kind of a special day. Arthur and Denny were at a shopping mall, but mostly in the toy store. Denny was looking around the various toys, robots and spaceships for boys and dolls and tea sets for girls. Denny didn't like how gender stereotypical it was since she was a tomboy, but she was looking in the girls' section because she was going to buy a present for a friend.

"How about this baby?" Arthur suggested. "She wets, cries, and you feed her!"

"Uhh... Nah, nothing like that..." Denny shook her head as she kept looking for one specific doll.

"This plastic doll that comes with her own house?"

"No... Oh, here it is!" Denny smiled, she then picked up a pink donkey doll with a yellow muzzle. "This is perfect!"

"Oh... It's a bunny!" Arthur smiled.

Denny glanced back. "She's a donkey... Daisy the Donkey..." she then went to the counter where Larry was with the cash register. "This one please."

"Certainly," Larry took it and got it ready to wrap up. "Would you like this gift wrapped?"

"Yes, please."

Larry nodded, then took out wrapping paper. "What color?"

Denny hummed and looked at the various choices, then looked to the green paper with a purple bow. "Those please."

"Of course."

The rock employee then wrapped up the doll in the paper. He then got out a tag and wrote down on the tag of what the gerbil wanted him to. After he was done, Larry handed over the package to the girl.

"Thank you for shopping at Elmore Mall!" Larry called. "Have a wonderful day!"

"Thank you, sir." Denny smiled as she took the present, going to leave with her father.

Arthur then drove his daughter home.

"Daddy, do you think she'll like it?" Denny asked, very excited.

"I'm sure she'll enjoy it, dear," Arthur smiled in agreement. "Better go to bed early tonight so you're not so excited by tomorrow."

"Okay." Denny agreed.

After Denny and Arthur got home, they had some chicken and rice for dinner. When it was close to 8:30, Denny decided to go bed then. She was going to have a big day tomorrow. Tomorrow was Anais's birthday and Denny was invited to come celebrate with the Watterson family.

Denny ate as much to give herself a full belly, but not to give her a stomach ache, but just so she could fall asleep faster. She did a lot quicker than she thought she would, by the time Arthur was about to give her a third helping, she had already fallen asleep. Arthur chuckled and took Denny upstairs to her bedroom and tucked her in.

"Good night, sweetheart..." Arthur whispered with a smile and gently shut the door behind him, allowing his daughter to get some sleep.

The next morning, Denny woke up. She still felt a little full from her dinner, but she had a small bowl of cereal for her breakfast. She kept the present by her side as she was going to bring it when she would see the Wattersons today.

"Goodbye, dear, have a good day." Arthur smiled to his daughter.

"Okay, bye Dad!" Denny called. "You want anything while I'm out there?"

"Oh, maybe save me some cake?"

Denny rolled her eyes, but had a small laugh. She then hugged the present and went next door and rang the doorbell, eagerly.

Nicole answered the door and smiled. "Oh, Denny, welcome!

"Thanks, Mrs. Watterson," Denny smiled as she came in, seeing Gumball and Darwin on the couch with Richard, making balloons. "Hey, guys!"

"Hi, Denny!" Gumball greeted with a squeaky high voice.

"Yeah, hi!" Richard greeted, also very squeaky.

"Sup?" Darwin asked with a deep baritone voice.

Denny giggled. "Um, where should I put my present?"

"Oh, just put it on the table, Denny," Nicole smiled. "The cake should be ready any minute now."

Denny smiled and she decided to make balloons with Gumball and Darwin. Richard took a break, laughing out loud and went to join his wife. Nicole slapped his hand though as he wanted to have some before everybody else.

"So, where's the birthday girl?" Denny asked.

"Resting up in her room," Darwin answered, still dark and nearly diabolical. "Probably getting her beauty sleep."

Gumball laughed out loud at that.

About half an hour later, Anais came downstairs. Denny smiled and wished her a very happy birthday. The others did the same. It was time for cake now and everybody sang to the pink bunny girl. Anais grinned, after they sang to her, she blew out the candles, making everyone clap and cheer for her.

"Now, now," Nicole reminded the others after she cut cake slices for them. "Nobody gets to eat until Anais gets the first bite."

Anais smiled, she then took a bite and allowed everybody else to eat. Denny smiled since the cake happened to be her favorite flavor too. After cake, it was time for presents. Gumball and Darwin gave Anais their homework so she could do it for them, much to her annoyance. Nicole got Anais a brand new encyclopedia, knowing how very advanced her daughter was, Anais was sure he didn't think of this alone, but Richard had got her a globe of the amazing world of the planet.

"Thank you all so much for your presents!" Anais smiled politely.

"There's one more present, Anais." Denny said as she pushed hers over.

Anais smiled as she was about to unwrap it. "Denny, you didn't have to get me anything."

"I wanted to... Now open it up! I just know you'll love it!"

Anais smiled, very excited as she unwrapped the present. She then gasped once she saw what was in it and took it out. It was a Daisy doll! "You got this for me!?" she asked, squeaking with delight as she hugged the doll. "Oh, thank you, Denny! Thank you ever so much!" she then hugged the gerbil.

"You're very welcome," Denny chuckled. "I thought it might be up your road."

Gumball sighed, frustrated. "Alley! Alley! Up your alley!"

"Oops..." Denny giggled.

"Thank you, Denny... I can't wait to play with her later!" Anais smiled as she hugged her new gift. "This has been the best birthday ever."

Denny smiled, she felt really good inside that she had given Anais the perfect birthday present. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, she can talk!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, pull her string!"

Anais looked down at her doll and did just that.

'Sweet Dreams!~' the doll chimed before quietly braying.

Anais giggled, then smiled again to Denny. "Wanna play with her with me after we clean up?"

"Only if it's okay with you." Denny smiled back.

Anais smiled, it was okay with her. This really was the best birthday in her whole life, and she was only four right now. She was going to remember this day for the rest of her life.
