If Sofia and James can sing this song from Frozen Fever to Amber when she gets injured on her birthday, let's see what the three of them, and Going on and on and on's characters can do with it when they help their royal friends help celebrate Rachel's birthday! I thought it would be fun if, as the celebration went on, Rachel tried to stay and celebrate her birthday, just like Elsa tried to. In her mind, not even a cold will stop her from having a party with her friends! Thanks to Going on and on and on for helping with the story. Frozen Fever is not mine.
Everyone was getting ready for Rachel's birthday party. Makayla and Holly were putting up a banner that read 'Happy birthday Rachel' on it. And Noah was making a card.
"That looks fantastic, Noah!" Makayla smiled, "Rachel's going to love that!"
"I make Ray-Ray a card every year!" Noah smiled.
"That's so sweet, Noah," Sofia smiled as she, James, and Amber came in to see how everyone was doing. "Does anyone need any help?"
"We could use some help with the banner," Holly started.
"I'll help," James offered as he went over to them.
Makayla smiled. "Thanks, James! I just hope Rachel's up to the party. She said she didn't feel well, but I'm hoping she'll feel better soon."
"Someone should get her," Tracy said as she put the cake on the table.
"I'll get her," Makayla volunteered as Noah nodded as well.
In her bedroom the newly turned twelve-year-old was getting dressed for her party. "I look good," Rachel smiled, but her smile got interrupted with a coughing fit.
"Rachel, it's Makayla and Noah. Can we come in?" Makayla asked as she and Noah were near her bedroom door.
"It's open!" Rachel called. Then as Makayla and Noah entered, Rachel continued, "I'm not going to sneeze...I'm not going to sneeze..." She paused, then sighed as nothing happened. "Thank you, nose!" Her smile faded as she sneezed, and as she pitched herself forward with the force of her sneeze, a small pile of tissues fell off the bed.
"Happy new year!" Makayla giggled, repeating the old joke Uncle Theo used when she sneezed like that.
"Happy birthday!" Noah said as he gave Rachel the card.
Beside him, Makayla smiled as she started singing one of her favorite songs, You've never had a real birthday before
Except, of course, the ones you spent outside my locked door
So I'm here way too late
To help you celebrate
And be your birthday date, if I may
"Are you okay, Rachel?" Makayla asked, hearing her sneeze. She couldn't help but sing to her, Rachel, I'm thinking you might have a cold.
"I'm okay," Rachel sniffled. "I'm not going to let a little sneeze stop me. And you know I don't get colds. Besides…" she smirked as she sang, A cold never bothered me anyway
Makayla frowned. She knew how stubborn Rachel tended to be, but if her friend was sick, then she should take it easy.
"A song will make you feel better, right Makayla?" Noah asked Makayla.
"That's right," Makayla agreed.
"Let's do the one from my favorite movie!" Rachel smiled before sneezing again. "Sorry...allergies."
"I don't buy that, but okay," Makayla gave in as they saw their friends.
Seeing them approach, Holly called out, Just follow the string!
Amber grinned as she joined in, I've got big plans, I've got surprises for today
Nothing but nothing's gonna get in our way
I've worked for weeks, planned everything within my power
I even got James to take a shower
Rachel smiled. "Okay! That sounds like fun!" She punctuated her sentence with another sneeze.
"Are you sure you're feeling all right?" Sofia asked.
"I'm fine," Rachel smirked, singing, If someone wants to hold me back
I'd like to see them try
Holly grinned as she sang, I'm on the birthday plan attack
I'm giving you the sun, the moon, and the sky!
Rachel smiled, and she tried to hide her sneeze.
"Rayray, are you okay?" Noah asked.
"I'm fine," Rachel tried to give him a convincing smile as Sofia and Amber came up to them.
Amber smiled as they danced Rachel around the room and sang, I'm making today a perfect day for you
I'm making today a blast if it's the last thing I do
For everything you are to me and all you've been through
I'm making today a perfect day for you
Holly smiled "Happy Birthday Rachel!"
"Are you sure you're okay, Rachel?" Sofia asked.
"I'm good," Rachel smiled before sneezing twice.
"Mom says they come in threes!" Sofia warned her.
"I'm fine…" Rachel smiled before sneezing again.
"Let's just sing! James says music makes everything better," Rachel smiled.
"Okay," Amber looked unconvinced, but if Rachel wanted to sing, that was what they'd do for her.
Noah cheered, "Yay, let's do it!"
However, as they continued to dance Rachel around the castle courtyard, Amber noticed that she wasn't looking very well. "Are you sure you're all right?"
"I'm not going to let a little cold stop me from enjoying this party," Rachel vowed. What a surprise, this one especially...achoo!
Amber frowned. I'm glad you like this, but I'm still concerned for you
I think it's time that you go home and get some rest
"Happy birthday Lady Rachel" Tracy smiled as she was in the palace getting the cake done.
"Thank-achoo!-you," Rachel sneezed. We can't stop now cause this party is the best...ah...achoo!
"Lady Rachel, if you don't feel well, I think we should postpone the celebration," Tracy continued.
"That's a really good idea," Sofia said as she came up to see how they were doing and heard Rachel sneeze. Rachel, you've got to go lie down
"I'll be fine," Rachel sniffled. No way, we have to paint the town
Noah frowned "Rayray remember what mom said if you're sick soup and rest is the best cure. He added, But you need medical attention
James came in and gave her a small bottle as he asked, Are you sick? How 'bout a cold remedy
Of Cedric's own invention
"I'm good," Rachel shook her head.
"Thanks, James, I'll take this for her," Noah said as he took it.
To make her feel better, he sang again, We're making today a perfect day for you
Rachel smiled as she echoed, Making today a special day
As he led her to the table, Noah sang, We're singing a birthday song to make your wishes come true
Rachel smiled as she sang back, Wishes come true
Noah hugged her as he sang, I love you, RayRay
Rachel smiled back. And I love you too
Rachel, Makayla, Holly, Sofia, James, and Amber all sang as they danced around the courtyard, So we're making today a perfect day (A fabulous day in every way)
Yes we are making today a perfect day
However, Sofia paused in the celebration when she heard something and saw Rachel near the rock-climbing wall they had set up as one of the games.
Rachel smiled as she secured herself in. Come on! Now we climb!
Holly, who had a terrible fear of rock climbing, gasped. Rachel that's too much. You need to rest!
Rachel shook her head. No...we need to get to our birthday chills...I mean thrills!
Making dreams
Making plans
Go go go go!
Follow the string to the end
You are my very best friend
"Rachel!" Sofia gasped.
"What? I'm fine!" Rachel grinned as she sang, We're gonna climb
We're gonna sing
Follow the string
To the thing
Happy happy happy
Merry merry merry
Hot...cold...hot...birthday!
It took everyone to get Rachel back on the ground as Sofia sang, Woah! Rachel, look at you. You've got a fever. You're burning up!
All right, we can't go on like this
Let's put this day on hold
Come on, admit it to yourself
Rachel sighed in defeat. "Okay...I have a cold. I'm sorry, everyone. I just wanted to have one perfect birthday with all my friends, but I ruined it. I didn't mean to."
"You didn't ruin anything," Makayla smiled, "Let's just get you to bed."
When they came back inside, Rachel's mother and grandmother led the chorus of "Surprise!"
"Wow!" Noah grinned.
"Wow…" Rachel tried to smile.
Her mother April sang to her, We're making today a perfect day for you
We're making today a smiley face all shiny and new
Rachel's grandmother Ruth smirked. There's a fine line between chaos
Cedric nodded beside her. And a hullabaloo
Everyone sang together, So we're making today a perfect day
Making today a perfect day
R-A-C-H-E-L!
Making today a perfect day for you
April gave her a hug as she said, "Happy birthday."
By now, even Tracy, Roland, Miranda, Gretchen, Theo, and Ruth had joined in, Making today a happy day and no feeling blue
Noah gave her a hug as he sang, I love you, Ray-Ray!
James and Sofia started dancing her toward the castle as they sang, For everything you are to us
And all that you do
April smiled as she hugged Rachel and said, We do!
At the same time, Holly and Makayla were singing, We're making today a perfect day
Making today a perfect day
We're making today a perfect day
Rachel leaned against her mother and smiled. "Perfect day…"
Ruth smiled and said, "Okay, to bed with you!"
"Wait!" Rachel paused by a large horn. "First I have to blow the birthday bugle horn!"
"Ray-Ray, wait!" Noah cried as Rachel sneezed into the horn.
A few minutes later, Rachel was finally in a guest room in the castle. She smiled as April tucked her in as she said, "Best birthday present ever, right?"
"Which one?" Rachel asked.
April kissed her. "You letting all of us take care of you."
"Our birth mother also gave us juice and ice cream whenever we got sick," Amber agreed, James nodding at her side. "She always said that made our dreams and recovery sweeter."
"Okay! We'll put all those ideas together," Makayla smiled, "Aunt Gretchen always says 'starve a fever, feed a cold!'"
Rachel smiled at the thought of ice cream.
"We're going to take care of you, so no more arguments," Sofia added. "Besides, the best we can give you is lots of care."
"We all care about you, RayRay!" Noah smiled.
"I even made tea," Tracy said as she had a big tray of tea on it.
"Did you make the soup I like?" Rachel asked, smiling a little, and recalling a very tasty soup Tracy had made when she came by for lunch one time.
"Yes I did," Tracy smiled. "I'll bring some up to you in a moment, and don't worry; I've got my shoes on!"
Sofia and her friends nodded. They recalled their friend Sandra telling them about the time she had burned her foot when she spilled a bowl of soup. The bowl had slipped, and since she had only been wearing stockings, and she'd been dizzy and off balance, the soup had burned her.
"We'll be careful too," Makayla agreed.
Noah smiled as he sat by his big sister. "Sorry you're sick on your birthday Rachel".
"Me too," Rachel sniffled as she accepted the teddy bear Makayla gave her.
"And don't worry," Amber added. "We arranged for your party to happen next week, so you'll have lots of time to rest."
"Thank-achoo!-you, Amber," Rachel sniffled.
Noah had an idea "Why not sing to make her feel better?"
"I think you should sing later, and let her rest," Sofia suggested. "I know, James says music makes everything better, but even singers need a little rest and time to let their voices get better."
"Good idea," Rachel agreed.
"But before you go, may I suggest you open this present first?" Amber smiled.
Rachel smiled as she opened the package and lifted out a brown and white plush cat wearing a pink dress. "Thank you, Amber!"
"We do like cuddling our plush friends when we're sick," Amber smiled.
"Maybe when I'm feeling better, I can meet yours," Rachel suggested as Sofia led her to a guest room.
"That's a good idea, but for now you need to rest," she said as she and Noah tucked her in.
"You always took care of me when I got sick, Rayray, now it's my turn to take care of you!" Noah smiled as he tucked her new kitty in with her.
"Okay, and thanks, everyone," Rachel smiled.
A week later, Makayla was visiting Rachel. "Hey, Rach, how you feeling?" she asked.
"A lot better now, and thanks for some of the gifts, Kayla," Rachel smiled.
"And now, what do you say we get this party re-started?" Makayla smiled.
"Okay!" Rachel grinned as she led the way to the party.
Noah cheered beside her, "Party"
"That's right, Noah, let's party!" Rachel grinned.
