THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF COREY AND BRANDON'S BIRTHDAY. TONY WILL BE BROUGHT IN, IN PART 2.

Chapter Seven

A Very Happy Birthday Part 1

"Hey, do you guys have the weekend off?" Sang asked, the weekend before the twins' birthday. Sang was at the diner once again and talking to Nathan and Kota this time.

"Uh, I think so. Why?" Kota asked, pushing his glasses up.

"Because we have to travel to get to where Brandon's birthday present is, unlike Corey's which is going to be there at the party."

"I think that could be arranged. Where're we going?" Nathan asked.

"You can't tell Brandon or let anyone know that will accidentally let it slip."

The two guys promised.

"We are going to the Wheels Through Time in Maggie Valley, North Carolina, which is about a 5 hour drive. So I figured we could spend the night over at my place and then head out first thing tomorrow morning."

Kota's eyes lit up. "Ooh that would be cool. And it would be kind of like a birthday present for North too since his birthday is on September 11."

I groaned. "Why didn't anyone tell me that?"

"Sorry, we forget that you haven't always been around." Nathan said.

"That's fine. I'll figure something out for him."

Then they had to get to work as they suddenly got busy.

And Sang had to make another phone call, it seemed.

That night, Sang was dressed in her pajamas, waiting for the guys to show up.

"Hey, J?"

"Yes, Miss?"

"Anyway you could not mention to Dad that I'm having a sleepover with 14 guys?"

Silence.

"Please, J?"

"I will not inform Master Stark…"

"Yay! Oh thank you, J." I couldn't believe that was so easy.

"… if you tell himself yourself when you see him in person in four days."

I sighed. Of course it wasn't going to be easy.

The doorbell rang.

"J? Can you let them in?"

"Of course miss."

I had taken Dusky and Lola to a dogsitter for the weekend so hopefully tonight will be just a fun night to get to know each other.

I looked up from the living room couch as the fourteen men walked into the room.

"Hey, guys!"

They all greeted me and put their bags down, before settling down on the couches, chairs, or even on the floor.

"Oy, Sang, what do you have planned for us tonight?"

I smiled at Gabe. "Well, I figured we could do different things. I have the theater set up and stocked to watch movies, and also stocked the candy bar in there. I have a heated pool, where we could go swimming. And I also have a tent set up outside as well if we wanted to spend the night out there. I also have a game room in the basement where I have a pool table and several video games. The choice is yours."

They did this weird talking-throuh-the-eye thing and they seemed to know each other's decision instantly.

Sean turned to me with a wide grin. "We want to go outside to the tent and play a game."

I raised an eyebrow but stood up from my seat. "What game?"

"Never Have I Ever. And then next sleepover we're playing Truth or Dare."

Huh, looked like they all assumed we were going to have a sleepover after this… huh, go me for making new and awesome friends that actually wanted to hang out with me.

I nodded. "Well, for that, we're going to need alcohol and shot glasses. Follow me!"

I led them into the kitchen and towards the pantry.

"Uh, where's the alcohol?" Nathan asked.

I threw a smirk over my shoulder. "In here."

Brandon came towards me with a couple of the others while everyone else stood back. "I don't want to offend you or anything, but that's a pantry."

"I know." I opened the pantry door and stepped inside, going towards the back wall. "J, open it please."

"Of course, Miss."

Brandon, Nathan, and Silas didn't react so it was obvious that Gabe, Victor, and Axel mentioned JARVIS sometime in the past couple of days.

There was a click and the pantry swung inwards to reveal my alcohol bar.

I could practically feel the stunned silence of the guys behind me. I reached in and grabbed a bottle of tequila.

"You guys grab what you want." I said, taking the bottle of tequila with me and out into the kitchen. "Mr Owen, the shot glasses are in that cabinet over there."

There was a milimeter smirk sent my way but he went over and started to take fourteen shot glasses out of the cabinet.

I suddenly heard someone choke behind me, I turned to see Victor staring at my bottle of tequila. "What?" I asked, confused.

"T-That tequila is worth like 3 million dollars."

I shrugged slightly. I had gotten used to the money Dad had but I didn't like flaunting it sometimes but Dad always made sure that I stuck out in some way, some how.

The guys looked at me in shock, including the three that just came out of the pantry with alcohol just as expensive or more then the tequila I had.

"Sorry. I didn't realize my Dad stocked it with his favorite alcohol for when he visits. But don't worry, I'll just tell him he can bring some from home if he comes to visit if we run out. Now, let's go!" I led the still stunned group of guys out the door with me.

"Here, Sang Baby, I'll carry that for you." North said, coming to walk beside me.

"Nah, I got it. Thanks though, North Star." Kota came up walking on the other side of me.

"So, where are your dogs tonight?" He asked. I could tell he was a dog lover.

"I took them to a dog sitter for the weekend since we're going to be leaving early tomorrow."

We had arrived at the tent, the guys following me in and sitting themselves on the cushions and mattresses I had in there.

Owen, Sean, Axel, and Corey set the shots on the round table in front of all of us while Gabe nervously pored the tequila into the shot glasses.

"Gabe, relax! The bottle isn't going to break." I said amused. He shot me a look.

"Oy, Trouble! Don't f*cking tell me not to be nervous when I'm holding a bottle of tequila worth 3 million dollars."

I smirked at him. "But, Meanie, it's fine, I f*cking promise you. If you want, I can do that for you."

"Don't you f*cking dare! I'm going to m*therf*cking do it and there is no way you're going to stop me." And he poured the rest of the shots without any hint of nervousness and then sat down between Victor and Luke.

"Whose first?" Corey asked.

They all began to argue over whom wanted to be first. I then spoke up loudly after it had been going on for a few minutes.

"Hey, J! Can you choose someone to go first?"

"Of course Miss. And based on my scans of the gentlemen in your company, I believe the best choice would be Mr Kota Lee."

"Thank you, J."

"Anytime, Miss."

I turned to the guys who, even though they knew about JARVIS, were still stunned. The public, I guess, wasn't used to the advanced technology that Dad invented and that I've been around for since I was 15 eight years ago.

"Alrighty, y'all heard J. Kota, you're first."

He cleared his throat and pushed his glasses up.

"Okay, uh. Never Have I Ever sent a text to the wrong person."

We all took a shot. I mean, it happens and you can never stop it from sending while you wait for the reaction of the person you just accidentally texted a message not meant to them.

"Whoo! That's some strong tequila!" Marc said, rubbing the instinctive tears from his eyes.

Raven scoffed at him. "This is drinking water to me, it is strong like Mother Russia. I like very much."

"Okay, Crow." North said, slightly scowling at him. Raven returned the scowl.

"What, East?" The atmosphere that had before been relaxed, was now wrought with tension

Silas quickly intervened. "Enough. Victor, it is your turn."

Victor quickly began to speak. But his fire eyes when they met mine across the circle, sparked with mischief. "Never have I ever… dressed like the opposite sex."

Cursing immediately from three specific guys. "You f*cking did that on purpose, Vic!"

"You know that was a dare!" Sean said unhappily but all three took a shot.

It was Gabe's turn next. "Never have I Ever stepped in dog sh*t barefoot."

It was Victor's turn to curse and take a shot, as well as Axel's.

I giggled. "Okay, you've gotta tell me the story to that."

"I wasn't watching where I was going and Max, Kota's dog hadn't been potty trained and pooped in the hallway in Kota's house. I stepped in it as a result." There were laughs all around before we turned our attention to Axel.

His cheeks were pink and he was avoiding looked at me for some reason.

"Well, uh, a few years ago I had a one night stand at this girl's house. After she fell asleep I began to sneak out the window but what I didn't realize was that they had a dog and they never picked up the dog's sh*t so as I lowered myself out the window, I landed directly in a large pile of sh*t. It was f*cking disgusting and I still shudder at the smell that seemed to haunt me for weeks afterwards. Luke your turn."

Luke was bouncing in his seat next to Gabe.

"Never Have I Ever gone skinny dipping."

North, Silas, Raven, Sean, Brandon, Luke, and surprisingly Corey took a drink. But their jaws dropped when I took a shot.

"Story." Sean and the others said together. I grinned at them.

"It was a dare from one of my college roommates. And that's all I'm going to say on the matter. Brandon, your turn."

Brandon: "Never have I ever secretly wished I were a wizard at Hogwarts."

Yep, I have. So I took a drink, and so did Corey, Luke, Gabe, and Nathan.

"What is Hogwarts?" Raven whispered loudly to me from his spot beside me.

I patted his arm. "Don't you worry about that for now, Raven. By next month, you'll eat, breathe, and sleep, Hogwarts. Won't he, Corey?"

Cue a blush and a nod from the aformentioned.

Corey: "Uh, Never have I ever dropped my phone in the toilet."

Remaining stoic, Owen slowly but surely took a shot. I gaped at him but I couldn't bring myself to ask him what the story was. Sean winked at me from beside Owen and mouthed the words 'I'll tell you later' but Owen quickly stopped his mischevious friend.

"No, you will not, Sean. Now, it's your turn." Sean opened his mouth to argue but Owen glared at him and whatever Sean was going to say he quickly changed his mind about.

Sean: "Never have I ever tried to discreetly pick a wedgie in public."

Silas, Nathan, Kota, Marc, and Axel took a drink, as well as I. Do you know how uncomfortable it is to be at a gala with my father and to suddenly get a wedgie? It is very uncomfortable.

Owen: "Never have I ever made dumb faces at myself in the bathroom mirror."

No one took a shot for a second.

"Luke, drink." North grunted. Luke glared at his brother.

"I don't make dumb faces in the mirror, East."

North returned the glare. "Yes, you do. Now, drink up, buttercup."

Scowling, Luke did so and then it was Axel's turn.

Axel: "Never have I ever thrown my phone after losing at Angry Birds."

Everyone, and I mean, everyone took a shot at that.

I couldn't resist.

"What level are you guys on?"

And we spent the next ten minutes talking about Angry Birds and how to beat this level or that level until we remembered we were in the middle of a game.

And it was my turn.

Sang: "Ooh, I've gotta come up with a good one… Never have I ever jumped off aroof."

I took a shot, as did Luke. It was time for these guys to realize that I'm not a good-two-shoes girl all of the time.. it is only most of the time.

North looked angry at my answer. But I quickly spoke over him as he opened his mouth to no doubt bellow at me.

"So, why did you jump off the roof?"

Luke shrugged. "I was trying to see if I could fly like Superman. You?"

I smiled, or more like smirked at North. "Oh, this one time when I was fourteen (THIS IS NOT THE INCIDENT IN THE PROLOGUE) and living on the streets in New York before my Dad found and adopted me, I smarted off to these gangbangers when they were beating up another homeless person so they started to chase me. I had to jump off of a roof and onto another one to get away."

They all gaped at me. Raven then suddenly guffawed. "Oh, little fox, you are full of surprises! Tell me, would you like fruit cup?"

"She doesn't want a fruit cup, Raven." Marc said, narrowing his eyes at his friend.

Raven kept his eyes on me. "Little fox, are you sure you would not like me to bring a fruit cup?"

"That's sweet of you, Raven, but I'm okay. Maybe some other time?"

Raven nodded, satisfied and began his turn.

Raven: "Never Have I Ever shot a gun."

All of us took a shot, again everyone looked at me. "My dad taught me to shoot so I could defend myself." And because it would be a disgrace if Iron Man's daughter couldn't at least defend herself from wannabe kidnappers, now wouldn't it?

Silas: "Never Have I Ever been out of the country."

North, Silas, Raven, Victor, and I all took shots. And said where we've been.

"Greece."

"Greece."

"Russia."

"France."

"Italy, England, Paris, China, and Moraco." I smiled when they turned to me. "Family vacations and birhdays."

Nathan: "Never have I ever been skydiving."

They all took a shot but I didn't. I would do a lot of adrenaline junkie stuff but I drew the line at anything that had to do with me falling thousands of feet and have to rely on a large piece of cloth to save my life. Yeah, never gonna happen.

Marc: "Never Have I Ever practiced martial arts with invisible opponents."

Nathan glaring at him, took a shot.

North: He smirked as began his turn. "Never Have I Ever been hit in the nuts by a paintball."

I had to cover my mouth before I began to laugh.

Several glares were shot towards North who didn't even bother to muffle his laughter.

I watched as Raven, Marc, Nathan, Luke, Sean, Gabe, Brandon, Axel, and Silas all took a shot.

"Alright, gentlemen, I think it's late enough. As Miss Sang told us, we have an early morning. Miss Sang, do you have enough room for all of us?"

"Uh, just about I think. I have room for ten of you in the bedrooms if you're willing to share. And then I have two of these bed type things in the theater that are super comfortable, as well as couches in the living room and in the game room. Choose wherever, and I'm sure JARVIS would be happy to assist any of you if you need it."

After exchanging a bunch of goodnights and sweet dreams, we entered the house and after showing them the game room, theater, and the living room again, I took them upstairs and showed them the guest bedrooms.

I then walked slowly to my room. I was slightly drunk and a whole lot of sleepy.

"Goodnight guys!" I closed the door behind me and flopped onto my bed and instantly fell asleep I was exhausted.
