Chapter Thirty-Six
Finally finished for the day, Ally and Yugi walked with the others in toe to their shoe lockers to change into their shoes "Great now, all I have to do is get through this evening at work, then I can go home and just forget all about today"
Yugi tugged on her blazer "Don't say that Ally, the day isn't over yet, you never know it could get better" Ally just looked at Yugi and shook her head as she took her shoes from her locker and moved to the bench to put them on "It's my birthday Yugi nothing on this day gets any better it only gets worse"
Yugi sat up after tying his shoes "well our picnic on the roof at lunch wasn't all that bad was it?" Ally turned at to look at him "Oh no no, it was lovely, I'm sorry I don't mean to moan, you must think badly of me right now" Shaking his head he laughed and pulled Ally into a hug "Ally you're too cute, stop worrying, I'm sure when you get home, Mona and the kids will have something there waiting for you, now come on angel lets go"
As they walked home, Yugi talked to Ally about all of the horrible surprise his Grandpa used to give him on some of his earlier birthdays
"I'm serious the one year I'd asked him for a pet, like a dog or something and what does he get me instead, Sea Monkeys! Sea Monkeys Ally! How crap is that? And I was 13! 13 and I get Sea Monkeys as a pet!"
Ally just couldn't help laughing as she imagine a thirteen year old Yugi getting excited over a dog, and the look on his face when he opens his gift to find a box of Sea Monkeys "Aww poor Yugi, didn't get his doggy!" Ally hugged him teasingly
Yugi pouted "Haha! I'm telling you Ally it was damaging!"
Ally laughed as they came to her corner "Of course it was poppet!" she said patting his cheek "Poppet? Isn't that what you call Lily and the kids?"
Ally nodded "Hey you gave me a nickname, and it's not a kiddy name it's an endearment, I only really call those I love poppet, none of my friends are called that by me" Yugi brought her hand to his lips and kissed it gently "There's no problem with it, I just wondered that's all angel"
Finally coming up to the foster home Ally turned to Yugi and asked "So are you free to come round here tonight?"
Yugi winced at the question and looked at her apologetically "Ally I'm really sorry but Grandpa asked me to help him to put out some new stock that's just come in and change some of the posters in the shop, he likes doing it during the evening so its ready for the customers in the morning and last time there was a big accident involving Grandpa, the step ladder, the sticky tape and some kind of bucket thing, it wasn't pretty" Ally laughed again at Yugi's predicaments at home "Ok I understand, I'll call you tomorrow sometime ok, see you soon Yugi" Kissing him on the cheek she went inside the house.
Walking back towards the Game Shop Yugi took out his phone and dialled Mona's number, she answered and he said "The birthday girl's in the playhouse".
Walking into the foster house Ally found a postet message by the telephone
Ally,
The party that you will be waiting on tonight have asked for the restaurant staff to be dressed formally (I know you might think the uniform is formal, professionally so it should be enough, but these are stubborn people we're working for tonight) Anyway make sure to doll yourself up a bit sweet pea! See you at 5
Uncle Darren X
Ally looked at the postet again and thought, "Seriously, they're allowed to make those kinds of requests when booking a venue, how daft can you get?"
As she got half way up the stairs, the phone rang, the answering machine picked it up as she sat on the stairs to listen to the message "Hey Ally, honey it's Mom, just out getting the groceries in, as well as some nice chocolate stuffs for us tonight, I'm sorry I didn't get to see you before you left this morning, but I took down Darren's message for you before leaving and I picked out something nice for your to wear to work tonight, I'll be home soon, to help with your hair ok honey, bye now" Ally ran up to her room to see what she would be wearing to work this evening.
Walking into the room she found a beautiful sleeveless dress that flowed from soft pink to purple in a downwards direction, across the top of the dress was lined with small waves of light golden thread with a pattern of small leaves in the same thread. A beautiful silk ribbon lined the dress just below the breast line with golden leaves stitched into each side of the ribbon and below the ribbon the skirt separated into two as the first layer consisted of a light translucent material in the lightest pink colour with leaves and waved lines, separating in the centre at the front to reveal a skirt of lilac silk, the lines of the translucent skirt thickly embroidered with golden thread in the pattern of leaves blowing in the wind as the bottom of the first skirt was sewn in a similar fashion to the top of the dress. It looked like the dress would come to just under Ally's knees. Looking down, she saw a pair of lovely shoes that matched the colours of the dress, as well as a bag in the same colours with golden stitching in the same design as the dress.
Ally couldn't help but stare at the dress, reaching out to touch the fabric; she heard footsteps coming up behind her.
Ally turned to see Mona behind her smiling softly at her "What do you think?"
Ally just looked at Mona in disbelief "you…is this…you didn't…. did you?" Ally stuttered, causing Mona to laugh as she said "Yes it for you from me and Uncle Darren, Happy birthday sweet heart" she said hugging Ally to her in a motherly fashion
"I know I'm nothing like your birth mother Ally, but I think of you as my daughter just the same, don't ever think that because you weren't born from me that I don't love you as much or that I'll ever forget you on this day ok?"
Ally shed tears of joy into Mona's t-shirt "I'd take having you as my mother and friend any day of the week…Mum" Mona hugged Ally tightly to her.
Wiping her tears from both her eyes and Ally's she said "Come on honey, you'd better get yourself ready or you'll be late" Ally nodded and headed for her ensuite bathroom "I'll be helping out at the restaurant tonight to so I'd better get ready myself"
Ally looked around the door frame of the bathroom "Are they that under staffed?"
Mona just nodded "Now come on chop, chop!"
Ally nodded with a smile "ok mum" After getting herself washed up Ally put on her new dress and it was heavenly, the whole of her body from her chest to just passed her knees was being caressed and hugged in all of the right places by silk. Fastening the ribbon into a bow at the back of the dress and slipping her slender feet into the beautifully made shoes as they cradled her feet like that of a precious infant.
Just then Mona came through the door in a lovely navy blue dress covered in roses that were embroidered into the dress in silver thread "Oh Ally, I forgot to give you the small shoulder jacket that goes with..."
Mona looked at Ally as she turned to face her Mum in the door way, Mona vision was slightly obscured by the tears in her eyes "Oh honey you look beautiful" Mona said hugging Ally "Thanks Mum, you look amazing too" Mona gave Ally a little twirl and struck a model pose making Ally laugh "Here honey your missing this" Mona helped Ally slip the small shoulder jacket on which was again the same colours as her dress and the collar and sleeve lines were embroidered with golden leaves "Oh thank you for getting this dress for me Mona, it's beautiful and feels incredible to wear it" Mona looked her daughter over "It looks amazing on you honey, I'm just really glad it fits"
Mona sat and did Ally's hair with a small touch of hair glitter and some golden hair clips in the shape of small fairies with lilac and pink gems on their wings. In turn Ally then did Mona's for her, using a small amount of hair glitter on her as well as placing her long hair in a half up half down style and curling the loose strands of hair with her curling tongs
"You know what there is something missing" Mona looked at herself in Ally's vanity mirror "What is? It looks fine honey"
Ally shook her head "Nope, we're nearly there but something is definitely missing"
Ally walked over to her closet, opening the doors she reach up for a small wooden box with a golden lock on it, bringing the box back to the dressing table she unlock the box and opened it to reveal a large amount of expensive jewels and hair pieces.
From the box, Ally took out a silver rose hairpin decorated with small sapphires. Placing it in Mona's hair where the half ponytail had been tied "My mother was one of the most well known and well loved people in England for her beautiful dances. They appreciated her beauty and talents so much that people would bestow gift after expensive gift upon her" Mona watched Ally as she took out a small, sapphire rose pendant with a small stem of silver from the box and placed it around Mona's neck "Mum always hid these gifts of praise in this box, which she asked the manager of her high classed bank to keep stored for her and to never let anyone but her have it. She placed a letter in the box to me and Susan in case of her death saying 'What was mine is now yours my darlings, cherish these gifts and may you find people that you love to share them with'" Fastening the clasp on the necklace Ally looked at Mona in the mirror to see her eyes filled with tears.
Placing her arms around her, Ally spoke softly "I can now share them with you Mona, my mother would be so grateful to you for taking me in as your own, thank you for being my family"
With that Mona spun round and took Ally into her arms tears running freely down her face "I'm grateful to your mother everyday you are with me, If I could say anything to her at all right now it would be to thank her for giving you to me" They sat in a loving embrace for a little while when Mona pulled back and looked at the pendant around her neck "Are you sure about this Ally? It's a bit too precious to be giving this to me isn't it?"
Ally shook her head and took Mona's hand "I know you'll cherish it as much as I have for the past 16 years of my life, I trust you with my life Mona and if I can trust you with that I can trust you with anything"
Just then Ally's phone rang she answered to hear Darren on the other side "Ally you're late come on get down here already, tell my sister to move her sorry butt too!" Mona scowled at the phone "Ouch! Shouldn't have said that Darren" Darren chuckled down the phone "Couldn't care less, just get down here both of you, now!" Ally just straightened up aiming a salute gesture at her phone "Yes sir" and hung up. Laughing she helped Mona from her seat at the dressing table. Locking her treasure box up and placing it in her closet she said "We'd better go now, he's getting really impatient"
Grabbing their handbags Ally and Mona made their way down to the car, they got in and text Darren to say they were on their way completely oblivious to the car that was parked up behind them. As they drove off, the car waited for it to distance itself and then followed at shadow distance.
Arriving at the restaurant, Ally got out of the car to go through the staff entrance when Mona stopped her "Honey, where are you going? Your already dressed we can use the front door"
Ally blushed "Oh yeah…Haha" Mona took Ally's hand and pulled her towards the door "Come on honey"
Walking to the door, Mona sent Ally through it first. Ally walked into the restaurant to find all of the lights off "Mona what's going on?" Mona flick the light switch by the waiting room door and an almighty cheer along with the sound of party poppers and whistles came from the entire room "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" Ally was speechless, as she looked around the room to see the place covered in banners and party decorations, all the kids from the foster home were here, plus some friends from school including Yugi and the guys as well as her new family, Darren, Derek and Darren's wife Cassie.
Walking in front of Ally, Mona took Ally's hand and brought her further into the room as the surprise sunk in "You guys did all this for me?" as Lily ran up and hugged Ally's legs "Of course we did sweet pea, did you honestly think that we'd miss your birthday?" Ally went to say something but then looked to the floor "Um, I don't know really" Darren laughed and gave his niece a big bear hug "You are just beautiful sweetie, how do you like the new outfit?" Ally hugged back "It's wonderful thank you Uncle Darren" Darren sniffled "Aw man! I'm welling up here"
Moving around the room, Ally met and spoke to people as well as thanking them for being part of the surprise. Finally she came to a table at the back, where Yugi, Yami, Tea, Tristan, Joey, Bakura, Duke and Mr Motto sat talking. Seeing that Yugi had his back to her, Ally put a finger to her lips as the rest of the group saw her, all looking in different directions trying to stifle a laugh
"What?" Yugi asked. All too soon Ally wrapped her arms around his neck "Rawr!" Yugi jumped out of his skin as he turned to see Ally standing behind him. Standing he took her by the hand and pulled her into his arms "Angel you shouldn't scare people like that you know" Ally giggled, "I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist"
Ally couldn't get over how great Yugi looked tonight; he was wearing a black dinner jacket, his purple silk shirt underneath, black trouser and black shoes. "You look great tonight Yugi" Yugi smiled as he brought his focus back to her eyes, obviously doing some looking of his own "Could say the same about you but I don't think it would be enough" he said stroking her face with one hand as he held her close.
A soft cough came from beside them and they turned to see Yami and the others looked expectantly to hear about how nice they all looked "Hehe you all look amazing too guys" A chorus of "Thank you" came from them, which made Ally laugh.
Everyone sat down to eat a nice meal together and as everyone finished the last of dessert, Darren stood and tapped his glass with his spoon. "Excuse me ladies and gentlemen I would like to say a few words on behalf of our wonderful guest of honour." Ally blushed as he looked at her in the centre of the table "When Ally first came to us, she was a broken young girl with a need for affection, love and friendship. Today she sits among us as a young woman who has found the love and affection she deserves, whether it be through her friends, lovers" he raised his glass to Yugi, who raised his glass in response "but most importantly through family, Ally you are one of the most precious people in our lives, we know of the difficulties you have faced, but I am glad to finally be able to say you will not be facing them alone anymore" An almighty cheer came from Yugi and his table that then started off the rest of the room "You hear that, that's all for you, you are loved so much by every person in this room and we couldn't be more grateful to have you with us. To Ally!" A chorus of "Cheers!" was heard as everyone drank to their drinks.
Applause erupted as everyone clapped chanting "Speech!" Ally rose from her chair bashfully "You'll have to forgive me I'm no good with public speeches, especially after something like that" a soft ripple of laughter came from the crowd as her uncle patted himself on the back "When I was younger, I honestly thought there was no hope of me being happy, having lost both my mum and sister at an early age I thought that my life couldn't get any worse, I would wake up in the morning and ask 'God please tell me, why am I still here?'" there was a short pause "But then a few years ago, I came here to Domino, praying that things would get better and that's when I was taken in by these glorious people sitting either side of me, for the first time in a long while someone actually looked at me and saw a person, not a mere object that was worth nothing, taking me into their home they loved and cared for me as one of their own, I have come to love the other children within the foster home as if they were my own family but also…" Ally looked towards Yugi and the others "I have found a bond with my friends that is most impossible to break and have found comfort in knowing that no matter what hardships I've been through, I can always go to them for help without being turned away, I thank each and every one of you for your kindness but mostly for your acceptance of me, thank you all very much" with that said everyone stood in applause as Ally finished her speech and she noticed every smiling face, every cheer and every tear covered face were all there for her.
Finally the music came on and everyone started dancing and chatting amongst themselves. Ally saw Yugi sitting with his Grandpa as Yami, Joey, Tristan and Tea went up to the dance floor, pretty soon Mr Motto went and engaged another elderly man in conversation leaving Yugi to sit on his own. Ally walked over and sat next to him as she leaned across to plant a kiss on his lips "Thank God your here I wasn't sure whether to come and find you" he said as Ally smiled "I'm here now poppet, no need to go anywhere" Yugi looked at her with a blush on his face "Actually that's why I wanted to find you, do you…um" Ally smiled at him stroking his face, he closed his eyes revelling in the feeling of her soft skin touching his.
Looking back into her eyes whisper "dance with me" Ally's eyes widened in surprise "I'd love too" she whispered back.
Taking Yugi by the hands, Ally helped him up off his chair, letting him lead her onto the dance floor as a soft song came on, he took Ally in his arms one hand on her waist the other hand taking her left hand "You'll have to forgive me if I get it wrong, I haven't learned very much" Ally looked at Yugi with wide eyes as he led her in their dance, moving in a slow waltz in time with the music that was playing "Yugi? Did you learn to dance?" Yugi blushed slightly as he said "Yeah only a little though, I wanted to surprise you with it" Ally smile at him lovingly "Well you've certainly done that" she moved in closer to him so that they were now cheek to cheek, both closing their eyes, happy within each other's embrace as they moved in time with the music.
Mr Motto and Mona sat at the bar with Darren as they watched the young couple dancing together "I think it safe to say we'll be planning a wedding soon" Darren chuckled "Oh Darren don't even joke about that, but it is so good to see Ally happy with someone, your grandson is a special young man Solomon" Mona said "And Ally is a gorgeous young girl, my grandson is lucky to have her as his first love" Mona picked up her glass to make a small toast "To young love, may they be happy together for as long as possible" Mr Motto picked up his whiskey glass "I'll drink to that"
When the music came to an end Yugi pulled away slightly so he could see Ally's face and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. All of a sudden the music stops and a slow clap is heard from the door of the restaurant and an eerie song is heard in a rough male voice. Ally pulled away from Yugi as she spun round to face the direction the voice was coming from. The voice grew slightly louder as it moved from the door to the dance floor where Ally was.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear daughter
Happy, last, birthday…
To you!
There on one side of the dance floor the crowd had cleared to reveal a shabby, dirty man with grey ruffled hair, dirty tanned skin, a huge beer belly and yellowed eyes. He gave a sinister smile of horrible yellow teeth as he inched his way closer to Ally. Ally froze as her eyes widened in fear, Mona stepping in front of her as the man drew closer "Ally what is it? Do you know him?" Yugi asked as he took Ally back in to his arms. She swallowed trying to get rid of the lump in her throat and she began to shake as the hairs on the back of her neck began to rise. Mona answered Yugi's question "Unfortunately she knows him all too well Yugi"
They continued to look in the intruder's direction "he's her father"
