Author's Note: I seem to be losing reviewers which I hope is not an indication that my readers are getting tired of this story anyway I plan to finish it reviews or not so on with the show.
HarryPassionFan: Yeah, AJ is all grown up and the next chapters will focus more on that.
CoolDiva: You're not the only one who's waiting for Kim and Jason's season and it will be posted as soon as this one is over.
Destiny45: Thanks, I want to focus more on the kids and how Tanya and Adam handle the different stages they're going through.
"So what's the verdict?" sixteen year old AJ asked his father as he parked the car outside Adam's stunt facility.
"Well son, I think you're ready," Adam replied with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for, take me for my test," AJ told him.
Meanwhile, at Hayley's Cyberspace, Tanya was busy finishing up preparations for AJ's surprise sixteenth birthday party.
"I think we're finally done, the guests should start arriving soon," Tanya said as she looked around the room at her handiwork.
"AJ is going to be so surprised," fourteen year old Trini remarked.
"I hope so unless someone spilled the beans," Tanya said looking at her youngest son.
"Ha Ha, I'm not that little kid anymore who blurted out everything I promise if AJ found out it wasn't from me," fourteen year old Stevie promised.
"Hey Tanya, Adam just called and said that he and AJ are on their way to the DMV for AJ's test," Hayley told her as she came out from the back room.
"Oh I hope it wasn't a mistake planning this party on the day AJ was supposed to take his test, what happens if he doesn't pass," Tanya said as a look of worry came across her face.
"I wouldn't worry Tanya, Adam wouldn't let him take the test if he wasn't ready," Billy assured her.
"Wow, this place looks great," Kat remarked as she and Tommy arrived with fifteen year old Patrick and daughter Susan who was eleven.
"Hey you guys, thanks for coming," Tanya said.
"Hey Patrick over here," Stevie called from where he and Trini were sitting.
"Can you believe we're the parents of teenagers," Kat said as she joined Hayley and Tanya while Tommy went to talk to Billy.
"I try not to think about it, the older they get the older we get and AJ is only two years from graduating high school," Tanya remarked.
"Then comes the fun of paying for college," Hayley said.
"Tanya, where do you want this?" Rocky asked as he walked in carrying the cake.
"Just sit it on the counter," Tanya answered.
"Emily, that cake is beautiful, you really did a great job," Kat told her
"Thanks, AJ's practically like a nephew to Rocky and me and I wanted the cake to be perfect," Emily replied.
"So what time are the rest of the guests getting here?" Rocky asked.
"They should be here any minute, I invited all of AJ's friends from school, along with you guys plus both sets of grandparents," Tanya responded.
"Hi Mrs. Park, thanks so much for inviting us to AJ's party," a girl said as she came up to them followed by a few other teens.
"Hi Erica, I'm glad you guys could make it," Tanya told her.
Erica was the lead singer of a band at AGH and AJ had recently directed a music video for the band. Tanya was also certain that AJ had a major crush on the girl but he would never admit that to his mom.
"I'll show you guys where you can put your gifts," Hayley said.
"We're not too late are we?" Kim asked as she Jason arrived with daughter Jayne.
"No, AJ should be taking his driving test as we speak so he won't be here for awhile," Tanya told them.
"Hope it's ok that we brought Jayne, I know she's younger than the other kids but she begged us to come," Jason said.
"Jayne's always welcome you know that and besides I had Kat and Tommy bring Susie so Jayne won't be the only younger kid here," Tanya replied.
"Tanya, Adam phoned again and he said that AJ passed the test and they're on their way here now," Hayley told her.
"Ok everyone time to hide, AJ will be here any minute," Tanya said.
"Dad, what'd we stop here for?" AJ asked as they parked outside the Cyberspace.
"I just thought it'd be nice to treat you to a smoothie to celebrate getting your license," Adam answered.
"Cool but after this can I drive over to Patrick's I want to tell him the good news," AJ replied.
"Sure son, whatever you want," Adam said with a smile.
"This is weird, this place is usually packed at this time of day," AJ remarked as they entered and found the Cyberspace empty.
"Surprise, Happy Birthday AJ!" everyone shouted as they came out from their hiding places.
"I should have known you were up to something," AJ said looking at his mom.
"Happy Birthday Sweetheart, congratulations on getting your license," Tanya said giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Mom, not in front of my friends," AJ groaned.
"Be nice to your mom, it took a lot of hard work to pull this off," Adam told him.
"Thanks, I really appreciate it but no more kisses," AJ said as he walked over to where his friends were standing.
"I don't suppose you're going to let me kiss you when you turn sixteen?" Tanya asked Stevie.
"Only if you surprise me with a car like the one you got for AJ," Stevie told her.
"Hey not so loud, you want your brother to hear you," Adam said.
"What was that you said about not being the kid who blurts everything out?" Trini asked her best friend.
"Whose side are you on?" Stevie asked her as she started laughing and he began chasing her around the room.
"This is so great AJ, now that you have your license we won't have to depend on our parents anymore to drive us places," Patrick told his best friend.
"Yeah but I have to talk them into getting me a car first," AJ replied.
"Happy Birthday AJ," Susie said as she walked over with Jayne.
"Thanks Susie," AJ said.
"I hope it's ok that we're here, I know we're a lot younger than the rest of your friends," Jayne told him.
"It's ok Jayne, you guys are like my little cousins it wouldn't be the same without you," AJ replied.
"Now why don't you girls be like good little cousins and scram," Patrick told them.
"You are such a jerk sometimes you know that," Susie said to her older brother.
"Leave them alone Pat, I said it's cool," AJ said as he walked over to where Erica was standing all alone.
"Happy Birthday AJ," Erica said as she gave him a hug.
"Thanks, I'm glad you could make it," AJ replied.
"Me too, besides I can't thank you enough for shooting that video for the band," Erica told him.
"Hey Erica, now that I have my license would you like to go out sometime?" AJ asked her.
"Sure AJ, I'd really like that," Erica answered.
"Hate to break up the love fest but Mom and Dad have another surprise for you outside," Stevie said interrupting them.
"What's going on?" AJ asked as he walked outside with Erica and the rest of the guests followed.
"Happy Birthday son," Adam said as he and Tanya stood next to a green car with a huge bow on top of it.
"I can't believe you bought me a car, this is awesome," AJ said as he gave them both a hug.
"Just make sure you take care of it," Tanya said.
"I will, I promise," he told her.
