A/N: Well this is the last chapter to my story :) but I am hoping it is going to be a very good one, but I did not write "Amethyst Part 1" for nothing as my title ;) so there will be a possible second or even a third story, just to let you know I am going to be taking a break after this story before I start, so please expect some one-shots from me for different shows, Movies etc., oh I also got this idea from a little surprise party thrown for me about five months back for getting ready to go to my new school, even though I am not there yet XD. Anyway I will shut up and let you read the last chapter for this story, thanks for reading ;)

Chapter 12: The time of their lives

"SURPRISE!" Everyone shouted simultaneously, frightening Ammy temporarily. Once Ammy realized what was going on, she smiled and sighed with relief.
"Where the heck did you guys all come from, you were all…just… how you did that I will never know!" Ammy shrieked, clutching onto her chest, but then looked up in surprise and asked. "What is with the Gypsy outfits everyone? You all look so colourful."
"Happy birthday, Amethyst." Tobias smiled. "First of all, we had to end your day with a grand party, and second of all, we are all dressed like Gypsies because it is a Gypsy styled party, hence why mother told you to wear that." Tobias laughed, until Ammy almost choked him with one of her hard hugs, which made him gag.
"Thank you so much, my dear brother." Ammy was entirely grateful. "Thank you all very much."

It was really not long at all until Ammy was bombarded into the middle of a massive group hug, which turned out quite fortunate, seeing as she was crying with happiness.
"Thank you once again everyone, why surely I did not deserve all of this?" Ammy was still in awe. Everybody giggled at her reaction, as it was the one that they wanted.
"You do! You are such a beautiful girl, both inside and out, and you never give up on anything, especially with the ones you love." Ammy went teary at Ree's short and sweet explanation, and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Ree returned her hug and kiss. Ammy could not stop beaming; she didn't expect such a grand party.
"Ammy, I think the adults want you attention now." Aden reminded her, so she said she would return after.

"Oh here she is, Happy birthday my beautiful granddaughter, oh I can remember the day we first saw you. Your mother and father were quite proud, you were so beautiful!" Eleonora explained excitedly, making Ammy blush bright red.
She hated it when her family mentioned the times from when she was a baby and a young child, mostly because they were embarrassing.
"Where have the years gone? I remember a few weird things you used to do when you were about ten months old." Jester said, starting to laugh.
"Like when you would pull your father's hat off his head and chewed on one of the bells, that was pretty funny." Jane started to snort with laughter, which only increased Ammy's embarrassment more.
"How did I do that?" Ammy asked, feeling really stupid.
Jester answered her question, still trying not to laugh. "I would either be carrying you or have you sitting on my lap. That was the only chance you had to pull it off my head." Ammy sighed deeply, thinking that it must have been one weird, yet normal habit for her.
"What… other weird habits did I have as a baby?" Ammy was curious, but did not want to know at the same time. Eleonora, like all of the adults did when she asked, laughed. She could remember a few of them herself. Ammy really prepared herself for what her grandmother was going to say to her, as it was probably embarrassing.
"Another one was how you used to act around certain people. Most babies would smile and laugh at anyone who they loved, you did the same too, however the weird part was how you acted to people who were not good people." Now Ammy was curious, as this story was not so embarrassing at all.
"What did I do grand-mamma? Oh please tell me." Ammy begged, making everyone around her laugh.
"Well you know how most babies hide themselves from people they are not comfortable with right? Well not you, you would be a little terror towards them, you would try to bite their fingers, or even growl. You even occasionally slap their arms or faces if they were weird, it would make them question your parents and tell them crazy things like you were possessed!" Elle let out another laugh, knowing that nothing has changed with her granddaughter there with telling the truth.
"Well I don't lie when I do not have to." Ammy giggled.
"No need to tell us that one twice, Ammy." Jane said. "You have gotten that attitude off me." She added with a laugh. Everyone giggled and finished the conversations from when Ammy was little.

"Anyway, Ammy this is from your Grandfather and I, we are hoping that you are going to like this." Eleonora handed the gift to Amethyst, who smiled and opened the present gently, trying not to break or mark it in any way.
"Oh my gosh, it is absolutely beautiful Grandma Elle and Grandpa Ferdi, thank you so much!" Ammy hugged her grandparents tight and kissed them on the cheek. The present was a beautiful Amethyst skull that would look absolutely beautiful in her room with the way it was set up. It was decorated with Tapestries, candles, ornaments, crystal balls, spell and potion books, her knight's stuff, her bed had a purple quilt cover with a green dragon stitched across it, and her fortune telling things.
She got a few more presents from her Aunties, Uncles and her other grandparents, which were all amazing. From her Grandma Adeline and Grandpa Milton she got another Dagger, and from her Uncle Julius and Aunty Arianna she got another gorgeous skull, only this one was made out of Rose Quarts. The rest of her Aunties and Uncles gave her skulls except for Eros and Lunetta, who felt as if they needed to be unique. From Crescent and Apollo, she got an Aquamarine skull and From Marcellina and Ben, she got a blue Agate skull, all colours that would look beautiful in her room. She absolutely adored all of these skulls and was happy that she finally owned some of her own. In a little while she was planning to get a pet bird, a Raven, as they were always her favorite types of birds, just to give her room another final touch.

The royal family walked up to Ammy, they were all dressed up as gypsies too. That was not the reason they walked over to her, they had a little something for her.
"We forgot to call you in to our throne room to say happy birthday Ammy, so happy birthday loyal subject and seeing as you cannot do your knight's duties for a while, you can be the castle's fortune teller. However that is not the present, it is right here in my hands." The king said, handing it to her. Ammy was amazed at what the royal family had given her, did they really care for her that much? I think they did. Ammy gasped at the gift. It was something she did not expect to see whatsoever.
"Oh my, thank you ever so much your majesties." Ammy gratefully replied, bowing with so much gratitude. It was a magnificent pair of new shiny Gauntlets, something that she was starting to need desperately, as her old ones were practically dead from wearing them so much. She tried them on and they fitted perfectly. Ammy turned over to Smithy and Aden, giving them a genuine smile, as well as a playful smirk.
"So that is why you two wanted to know how big my hands were." Smithy just had to laugh at his possible daughter-in-law's reaction.
"Yes that was why Ammy, the king wanted us to make your present, so he requested that we took your hand size." Ammy smiled brightly, and went to hug the both of them.
"Thank you for helping the king." Ammy smiled. "I am pretty sure he really appreciated the help." The king smiled down and nodded.

"Aden?"
"Yes, Amethyst?" Aden answered, kissing her forehead.
"I think you look good dressed as a gypsy. Having gypsy in you also helps make you look even more gorgeous." Aden blushed slightly and stroked her light brown hair, which now reached down to her lower back. "Not that you never usually look gorgeous or anything." Aden blushed again.
"I know what you mean, and you are a gorgeous girl, no matter how you are dressed." Aden said, before gently brushing his lips against hers for another amazing kiss.
"Also, have I ever told you that you are an amazing kisser before? Because if I have not, you are breathtaking, literally." Ammy smiled breathlessly. Aden was breathless as well, as he too had experienced the best kiss that they have ever had, even though all of them seem to of outdone the previous.
"I think you have, you are a beautiful kisser, and the only lips I want to kiss are yours." Ammy smiled and pulled his head down for another kiss, which outdone the previous one again.

It was not long before dinner was ready. Everyone sat down in front of the raging fire, waiting for Pepper, Jane, Emily, Crescent, Marcellina, Lunetta and Arianna to come out with the platters of food including different meats (Of course Ammy only got chicken), vegetables, soups and other delicious foods. Ammy and her friends, brother and older cousins sat in a small circle in front of the fire, chatting away till their hearts were content.
"So I see you are wearing a lot of your new things right now, hmm?" Ree questioned with a smile on her face.
"As a matter of fact Ree, yes I am." Ammy replied back, laughing at the irony. They laughed about it until it was time to get up for dinner, which did not take long at all. With around about twelve hungry teenagers about, it was certainly not long at all.
"Have you had a great time so far, Ammy?" Felix asked as he sat back down. Ammy grinned brightly at him, as proof to her answer.
"Why yes, dear cousin, I have had a great day and I am going to have an even better night." Everyone else nodded their heads in agreement, as they knew that this was going to be one heck of a party.
"Now I think we should all eat, we have heaps of time left to talk and do whatever." Lilia said, so they all started eating.

When dinner was over the embarrassing part came up, as all of the guests sat around the fire, even Dragon, to give Ammy an official happy birthday. While everyone was doing that, Ammy put her hands over her face to cover its temporary new colour, raging red. Eventually Ammy gathered the nerve to speak up; thanking everyone for the party and for being there to help her celebrate, because it meant a lot to her.

The rest of the night was still amazing, and Ammy could not ask for better family and friends. She loved the entertainment, as it involved her most favourite thing other than sparring.
"Hey Ree, I was wondering if you could show me one of your famous Flamenco dances? You know how much I absolutely love it when you dance the Flamenco." Ammy enjoyed watching her friend dance Flamenco, or any other dance that her mother had taught her.
"Of course I can Ammy, it is your birthday after all, and yes I do." Ree giggled. "I think we all know how much you adore my Flamenco dancing." The three girls laughed until their sides hurt; well as the saying always went: the truth hurts a lot, even if it does involve side splitting laughter.
The girls eventually composed themselves and let Sheree get on with her little show, with her graceful prancing, hand and feet coordination, as well as twirling her multi-coloured skirt, it was absolutely gorgeous. At the end of her performance the girls gave Ree a well-deserved applause because of how beautifully she went through the dance moves, with no mistakes whatsoever in site.
"You are a natural, Ree!" Ammy praised her friend, while giving her the tightest hug she could without hurting her broken rib more.
"I could not agree more Ammy, Ree was naturally born with her mother's talent." Elise also praised her, really proud as well.
Ree could not help but blush, as she did not think herself good. As the saying goes again: The truth will either really hurt you, or make you bashful.

"Oh really? You guys are so gorgeous, but you can tell me the truth, I honestly do not mind."
Ammy and Elise laughed at their friend, as they were not fibbing to her.
"Are you joking, Ree? Now why would we lie to you about how you dance hmm? Sometimes I reckon your modest attitude can get the better of you, you really have no need to use it all the time." Ammy gave her a quizzical look, but smiled at her all the same.

A little while later, her parents walked up to her to see how she was going, hoping that she was having a good time.
"Oh hello there mum and dad, what brings you both here? No more embarrassing stories I hope?" Ammy chuckled slightly, along with her parents.
"No darling, not this time, we are saving those moments for when you reach adulthood." Jane laughed. "We are here just to see whether you are having fun."
Ammy grinned at both of her parents. They knew what her answer was going to be, they have only known her for her entire life.
"I am having an amazing time, thank you so much for organizing this for me, I appreciate it so much!" Ammy exclaimed, hugging both of her parents.
"It is not us you should be thanking, Ammy." Jester said. Ammy looked confused, what did her father exactly mean by that?
"Oh, well then whose idea was it?" Ammy inquired. She naturally thought that her parents were the ones who organized it, but it was all someone Else's doing.
"That, my dear Amethyst, would be the workings of your grandparents." Ferdinando came up from behind Ammy and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Thank you so much, I really appreciate it, I love it!" Ammy exclaimed hugging both her grandmother and grandfather tightly.
"You are welcome, sweetheart." Elle smiled at her granddaughter, admiring at how much she had grown over the years. She was the smallest grandchild in height before her sisters and little cousins came along.
Ammy seriously felt like she was the luckiest girl in the world to have so many people to care for her the way they did, and she did not even know why.
"I appreciate everything that everyone here at this party has done for me, but being in my life has been the main thing, and I love you all for it."
"Well we better let you go and have some more fun darling, see you later on." Eleonora smiled as she walked off. Ammy waved at her grandma and continued talking and laughing.

A little while later, Ammy walked away from the firelight so she could lie down and gaze up at the stars, another thing she used to love doing with her family when she was little. Sometimes even now when they get to spend time together, they will go out on a beautiful night and just watch the stars. She always found it peaceful, calming and relaxing. Apparently some nights when she was a toddler and felt restless, her mother or father would take her outside into the beautiful silence of the night, because it soothed he little mind, making her fall asleep. Aden became a slight bit concerned, because it was not like Ammy to leave the group and be by herself. He walked up to her to give her company.

"Hey Ammy, are you alright?" Aden asked. "It is very unlike you to just walk off." with no instant response from Ammy, who seemed to be in a daze.
"Amethyst?" This time he got a response from her. She smiled dreamily up at him and replied.
"Hm? Oh sorry Aden, I was reading the stars and making out their little shapes." Ammy smiled and gave Aden a kiss on the cheek, and he kissed her back. Ammy lied back down, with Aden following her, and to their surprise, everyone else.
"So what are we all doing here?" Ree asked, smiling down at her brother and her friend.
"Nothing really, I am just reading the stars, seeing what the future holds." Ammy replied back, still in dreamland.
"What star sign are you, Ammy? Are you not Leo or something?"
Elise always knew that Ammy was born at the end of July, but she always got Cancer and Leo mixed up.
"Why yes I am a Leo Elise, I almost match the horoscope!" Ammy laughed. Tobias just rolled his eyes as he took his place on the other side of his sister.
"Most days you match the stubborn side too."
Ammy sat up and slapped Tobias in the arm lightly, making him laugh.
"Well I suppose you are right, dear brother, I cannot deny that part." Ammy sighed and lay back down, putting her head on Aden's shoulder.

"Hey everyone, look at that shape, it looks like one of father's weird fruits, it also looks like someone too!" Sage pointed out, making everyone laugh like crazy as they realised who it looked like.
"I know exactly who that looks like." Ree pointed out. "I reckon it looks like the Merchant!" Everyone had to sit up from killing themselves. Lilia, Scarlett, Xander, Felix, Carabelle and Narola joined the group as well. Lilia could not help but notice that the group was on their sides laughing uncontrollably.
"What the hell are you guys laughing over?" Lilia asked, starting to giggle herself. Ammy was surprised that her cousins were there. She explained the cause of their laughter.

"Hello everyone." Ammy smiled. "Lil, do you see the stars that are making a funny shape, almost like a fat fruit?" Ammy asked, pointing towards the group of stars that were above her.
"Yes I can, why is it so funny?" Lilia had no idea why exactly they were all laughing at the stars, until Tobias answered.
"Guess who that looks like?"
Tobias went back into another rage of laughter, along with the other teenagers that knew, and soon enough, Lili was laughing to.
"Gosh I can see why you are all laughing; it looks like that fat merchant we ran into a while ago!" Soon every single teenager there was rolling in the grass laughing, well it could not be helped, and Ammy's laugh did not help the situation either at all. Her squeal and snort was truly the best laugh in the whole castle.
"I think this has just made my birthday even better, thank you so much, Sage!" Ammy's voice cracked as she spoke from laughing too much. She really needed that laugh desperately.
"You are welcome." Sage replied back, his voice also wonky.

Cressy could hear the laughter from the teenagers and decided to see what was so funny.
"What are all you monkeys laughing at? Is it a weird shape in the stars or something?" Cressy smirked, but the teenagers couldn't stop laughing.
"Alright, what is in those stars?" She inquired, with her niece looking at her and pointing to the sky.
"Ammy showed me the set of stars that are right above us, it is making a funny fat shape?" Lilia said, with her bubble almost ready to burst.
"Oh yes I see it, what about it?" Cressy asked.
"Do you remember that really fat merchant?" Scarlett answered Cressy's question with her own, which caused a laugh from the gypsy woman.
"Oh that dreaded man; it does look like him too!" Cressy was another one who had a very contagious laugh. It was actually very similar to Ammy's, except for the snort.
"Oh, my stomach is about to pop!" Elise screeched with laughter. Everyone felt her pain.
"I am pretty sure that mother would love to have a laugh at this, what do you reckon Tobes?" Ammy asked her brother. They knew how much Jane hated Magnus and how she laughed at anyone who made fun of him.
"I do not know, is it really a good idea to let mum laugh when we are all practically dead anyway? But if we are all daring enough, I suppose it could not hurt." Tobias seemed to of approved. "However, if she kills me I am holding you responsible for my death!" He could not hold back his laugh anymore, along with the rest of them.
"Maybe you should hold yourself responsible for your death." Ammy laughed.
"Fine, come on, I for one reckon we should bring her over here, because it is perfect shape."
Amethyst agreed with him and walked over to get her mother.

"Hey mother, come over and see this shape in the stars, it is hilarious!" Ammy called out as she approached her mother, her green eyes meeting her mother's.
"What shape? And how come I have to go over to where you guys are?" Jane asked.
Amethyst sighed and explained that it was the only way to see it, so they walked over.

"Now mother, what sorts of shape can you see in those stars?" Amethyst asked, snickering slightly.
"What am I looking at, Amethyst?" Jane questioned, half curious and half annoyed.
Tobias walked up beside his mother and used his finger to trace the shape. "Can you see it now?" Pretty soon Jane started to giggle, which eventuated into her really contagious laugh.

"Do you know who it reminds me of?"
They let her answer for herself.
"Who is it, may I ask?" Ammy asked sarcastically.
"The Merchant, only uglier." Jane had to cover her mouth to muffle the snorts that were coming out freely, just like Ammy's.

Everyone laughed until they cried, until they were told by Pepper that it was time to cut the cake.
"Aden, I reckon you should stand next to Ammy, just in case…" Elise merrily teased while giggling.
Ammy giggled at the idea. "Oh I am pretty sure that no one will make us play that game."
This playful argument lasted right up till they got to the crackling bonfire.

Ammy sat down on a log that was near the fire while Pepper laid the cake down in front of her. She handed Ammy a knife to cut the cake with. The other teenagers started to giggle.
"Try to not dirty the knife Ammy, or let it touch the bottom." Marci said. Ammy groaned in her head and sliced the knife through cleanly. A sudden sound of snickering erupted from a lot of the guests, as the knife came out of the cake.
"Well it looks like you have to kiss the nearest boy, Ammy." Eleonora chuckled.
Ammy started to smirk. "Actually… technically I do not have too."
A set of weird looks came from her brother, cousins and friends.
"Amethyst, you have to because the knife touched the bottom." Tobias said.
"No it did not actually. The knife itself was so sharp that there was no need for the knife to touch the bottom, therefore I don't kiss the nearest guy." Ammy and Aden both smiled. They were glad that they did not have to publicly kiss in front of every single guest. Ammy changed the subject by cutting more pieces and saying "Who wants cake?"

After everyone ate their pieces of delicious cake, they did a couple more hours of dancing, playing instruments, sitting around the fire and simply watching the stars.
"I feel like sleeping out here, it is such a beautiful summer's night tonight, I mean just look at the stars and the moon, so pretty!" Ammy exclaimed. She was about to say something else, until she heard the voice of her Grandmother Adeline calling out for her and her brother.
"We are going to go to bed now Ammy and Tobias; we hope that you both have enjoyed the day, goodnight." Adeline gave them both a hug and a kiss before she walked down to her chambers with her husband.
"Goodnight."

The only people that still lingered around were the Gypsies and the Castle staff. By now, Amethyst went back to lying down on the grass, watching the stars again for the rest of the night, with her friends, brother and cousins.
"I am seriously considering sleeping under the stars tonight." Ammy repeated sleepily.
"I know the feeling Ammy, it is beautiful." Aden said while putting his arm around Amethyst.
Eleonora and Ferdinando walked up to the teenagers and said goodnight to them before turning in for the night. All of Ammy and Toby's Aunties and uncles had all long gone to bed now, so it was only the castle staff, their children and the Gypsy teens that were up.

For about an hour everyone talked about the night and how brilliant it was.
"Thank you all so much for making my fifteenth unforgettable, I am truly blessed to have all of you guys in my life." Ammy explained, knowing that there was a smile on each and every one of their faces.
"Well you deserved everything you got today Ammy." Ree said cheerfully, but sleepily too.
"Hey Ammy, you know how you want to sleep out here so bad tonight, right?" Sage asked, glancing over at the almost dead bonfire.
"Yes, why?" Ammy was confused.
Sage looked down at her and smiled. "It looks like our parents have all agreed too, they have fallen asleep."
It was true, all of the castle staff had fallen asleep in front of a dead fire, so it looked like that that Ammy got her wish after all.
"Ah, so they have too." Ammy smiled, letting out a yawn. "Man today has been eventful; I think I am about to crash, goodnight all." Ammy said.

Everyone else said goodnight to her and fell asleep themselves, all snuggled up together to keep warmth in.
It was not until a few hours after, they woke up to a person yelling out in pain…

Ohhh, a cliff-hanger! Wonder what's up, find out in the next story ;)
So there ya have it! Amethyst Part one is complete! :D I will get started on the second part when I have finished these little one-shots I am writing at the moment, so that should not be too long, give me probably about another month or two and I should have the first chapter of part two up! :) Hope you enjoyed reading this story!
