"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I heard Merlin's voice whisper.
"Of course it is this is the perfect way to wake her up" Anya whispered back.
"I can hear you" I mumbled trying to block them out but they ignored me.

"If she throws something at me I'm blaming you" Merlin snapped.
"Don't worry I'll block it from hitting you" Anya said back to him. Just then I saw a bright light that blinded me a bit. I opened my eyes to see it was still dark outside. I followed where Anya and Merlin's voices had come from and saw they were mere inches from my face with a flame and a cake. I nearly fell out of the bed in shock at how close they were. They then started to sing Happy Birthday. They paused after they finished singing looking at me while I just gave them a confused look.
"What?" I asked.
"Poor girl doesn't notice a birthday cake when she sees one" Merlin sighed.
"It's not my birthday" I told them.
"Yes it is. Today's July 29th two days before Harry Potter's that's how I always remember your birthday" Anya said.

"But wasn't it January a month ago?" I asked realizing that we had been in Camelot for over a year now.

"No now blow out Merlin's hand so you can eat the darn cake we snuck out of the kitchens for you" Anya ordered. I gave her another confused look and looked down at the cake and realized that Merlin's hand had a little flame on it as it hovered over the cake.

"Couldn't find any candles" Anya explained. I blew out the flame.
"How'd you-"

"Magic" Merlin explained.

"Awww thank you" I said. They both sat down on my bed with me as we ate the cake.

"Oh this is for you" Merlin said throwing some sort of sack at me.

"Thanks" I said catching the sack before it hit me. I shook whatever was in it out and saw a pair of his clothes.
"So you don't have to steal mine again" he explained.
"They should fit they're from when I first came to Camelot" he told me.
"Awww thank you I needed these" I said hugging him.

"Ok now it's time for my present" Anya said handing me a little box. I shook it and opened it to see a shiny bracelet that matched the one I had given her for her birthday.

"Thank you" I squeaked hugging her and putting it on.

"It looks very good on your wrist" she complimented. I admired it some more while her and Merlin talked for a couple moments.
"So your 20 now how's that feel?" she asked.

"I don't know I feel the same it's not like I suddenly have all this unknown knowledge in my head" I explained.
"Merlin" we heard Arthur shout next door.
"And that's my cue to go Happy Birthday" Merlin said leaving.
"Bye Merlin" Anya smiled at him. He gave her a smile back and accidentally ran into the door.
"I did that on purpose to make you two laugh" Merlin lied. Anya and I sympathetically nodded at him and as soon as he walked out we then burst out laughing.
"So anything in particular you want to do today?" Anya asked. I just shrugged.

"I would love toooooo…I don't know" I told her.
"Well if I were you I would be looking forward to tonight" Anya advised.
"What happens tonight?" I asked feeling a smile form on my face.
"You'll have to wait and see" she teased.
"Give me a hint?" I asked.

"Brush your hair it looks Tangled" she randomly said before walking out.


"Hello Arthur" I said walking next to him as Anya and I took a walk through the castle. Anya immediately slowed her pace so the two of us could talk.
"Castiel" he greeted. It was quiet for a moment.

"So today's a pretty good day isn't it I mean it feels quite special doesn't it?" I nudged him so he could say happy birthday.
"Feels like every normal Saturday to me" he shrugged.

"That's all you have to say?" I asked.
"Why is today important?" he asked. It's not his fault don't flip out on him why would he know your birthday it's no big deal I tried to calm myself down.

"Nope just really good weather" I tried to say not too disappointed. I had completely missed him looking back at Anya as they shared a smile with each other.

"Yeah the weather is nice today" he agreed. Really the weather we have gone to talking about the weather I tried not to let out an annoyed noise. As I started to pass by a window Arthur immediately grabbed me by the shoulders and directed me the other way. I gave him a shocked look.
"I shot a deer and just left it out there. You probably wouldn't want to see it" he explained. Please I've seen road kill. I was about to just go pass by the window again but Arthur stopped me and shouted.
"Look there's Morgana. MORGANA, DIDN'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW CASTIEL?" Arthur caught her attention. Morgana gave him a confused look. I saw Anya nod her head towards the window.
"Oh yes um I did I think you'll find it very interesting. Thank you for reminding me Arthur" Morgana said grabbing my arm and directing me somewhere else. Something weird was going on here.


The interesting thing that Morgana needed to show me was how amazing these apples Gwen found tasted. They were pretty good but I could've lived without having to know that. By the time I got back to my chambers it was nighttime. I found Anya standing with a piece of cloth in her hand.
"What's that for?" I asked. She stayed quiet and blind folded me.

"I'm getting kind of scared now" I admitted jokingly.

"What do you think I'm going to do kidnap you?" she asked.
"Yes because your jealous of Arthur and I's relationship" I mocked. She smacked me on the back of the head.
"Ow" She directed me if I'm correct back out the door.
"I've got it from here" Arthur's voice said.

"Happy Birthday Castiel" Anya told me hugging me before going off somewhere. Arthur then grabbed my hand and led me somewhere.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Why would I tell you" he said.
"So you did know it was my birthday then" I guessed.
"Of course I did" I could hear him chuckle at my sillyness. By the sudden change in temperature I could tell we were outside now.
"If it's a romantic horse ride I'm gonna kill you" I told him. Riding a horse right now did not sound at all appealing to me.

"Don't worry it's not" he assured me. Finally we stopped. I thought I could hear Arthur move his arm as if he was motioning something. Then my blindfold was taken off and I saw a bunch of floating lanterns.

"Oh my god" I whispered. This was just like in Tangled but much more prettier.
"Ah hem" I heard Arthur cough from behind me. I turned around and saw he had two lanterns in his hand. He handed me one and we both let go and let our lanterns float off. We intertwined our fingers. I felt my eyes start to water at how beautifully sweet this was.
"Are you crying?" he asked holding on to me.
"No that's just the rain" I joked.
"It's not raining" he said.
"Shut up" I smiled at him.
"Thank you for doing this" I kissed him.

"Well I did this because….. I love you" he said not looking at me. I felt my breathing stop for a second.
"You love me?" I asked.
"Yes I do, I love you more than anything" he admitted.

"Well that's good because I love you too" I said leaning my head on his shoulder as we watched the lanterns.

"I know" he said lifting my head up and kissing me. Oh my god he just quoted Han Solo without knowing it that has to be the sexiest thing anyone ever said to me I squeaked.

"Best birthday ever" I smiled up at him.

Awwwwwwwwww did you like it? I hope you did because I'm probably going to do Anya's birthday next.
