"Happy birthday!"

Tanu looked around at his friends and a smile grew on his face. Ruth ushered him toward the kitchen were everything was being set up. On the table were presents and on the counter there was cake and ice cream along with just about every classic American food you could think off. There was everything from hamburgers and hotdogs to potato chips and hot wings.

Tanu smiled at all of them, he didn't think they remember his birthday but clearly they did. He didn't have as strong as a relationship with the others, but still considered all of the good friends, and even family.

Kendra walked up to him and said "I frosted that cake all by myself." Tanu looked over and saw the messy curved letters that were barely eligible. Kendra winked "never said I was any good at it either."

Everyone ate more then they probably should have but did it anyway. The food they had given him was one of his favorite even though he loved Samoan food as well.

Dale lit the candles, much to a very annoyed Seth, and everyone started singing happy birthday. "Happy birthday, dear TANUGOTOA DUFU! Happy birthday to you!"

Then Seth added a special "ya presents time!"

Seth grabbed his present first and gave it to him. He pulled off the wrapping paper and found a jar full of pink slimy stuff. "Now you have wraith guts! For potions and stuff. You have no idea how hard those were to get." There was some murmuring amongst the crowd especially considering how wraiths were ghost like creatures, but that was a story for another time. "Ah ya still the best, randomnest gift giver!"

Pictures were taken-every kind from silly to professional-and games were played.

*is it just me or are Dale and Tanu super underrated. Anyway this was inspired by one of my foreign exchange student's birthday. He's 16 now.*

"Warren!" Vanessa said after pushing herself from the dirt. He shrugged his shoulders and held up his hands. His facial expressions said 'oops?'

Dale and Seth, who were seriously struggling, passed them. Bracken and Kendra still held the lead moving pretty good together. The cloth that was tied around their legs reached Kendra's thigh and Brackens knee, and another one around her shin and his ankle.

Warren attempted to help Vanessa up, but fell too. After they had managed to get up again they raced after the opposing teams.

Seth and Dale were quickly gaining speed, when Seth tripped bringing down Dale as well as Kendra. He heard Dale mutter something along the lines of "why did I even agree to this." Seth couldn't blame him, they had been ropping him into a lot of things.

Vanessa and Warren hobbled their way over the finished line and cheered. Game night had evolved from board games, to video games, finally ending up and strange competitions.

Everyone untied the fabric strips and gave them to Warren, who had unofficially been dubbed the games-keeper. He took on that job proudly. Or as proudly as he could while hauling a bunch of crap back to his cabin.

Seth went back into the house, past the homework he was supposed to do, and up the stairs. Kendra stopped him and told him to stop procrastinating. He replied by saying "it's not like any of that stuff is gonna be useful anyway, what does knowing how cells are made up of, matter?" Kendra sighed but dropped the conversation.

Kendra had some free time left, because, unlike some people she knew, she finished her homework on time. Seth always delayed things because he thought he had as much time as he wanted being homeschooled. Kendra rested her head on her chin, she really missed being in actual schools. Roaming the halls with her friends hearing there crazy gossip, learning from teachers who knew basically everything about the subject they taught, and all the cool stuff she missed out on. She wanted to join the soccer team, and be on the yearbook committee. And then there were the dances. She started mindlessly rolling a coin between her fingers. Her longing thoughts continued. It wasn't like she could do them anyway, seeing as Kendra Sorenson was dead. She set the coin down and went to do something productive.

The next day Kendra saw her mom holding up a pretty dress. It matched the color of her eyes and was perfect in every way. It was a ball gown type thing and looked comfy. She looked at her mom with a confused expression.

"Quickly put this on, we have a surprise for you." Kendra didn't know who was untitled in the "We" put she decided to go along with it.

She quickly changed and follows her mother out to the yard. There waiting was a nicely dressed unicorn looking nervous. He smiled at her and she returned it. Kendra's mother quickly left them and Bracken started leading them in one of the paths to the woods.

He stopped and then asked her "will you go to prom with me?"

"How did you know?" She asked.

"Seth." How did Seth know? Oh the coin was their communicator to each other! Her brother really had done something thoughtful. She's thank him later.

They continued down the path and into the fairy shrine that had been fancied up with lights and streamers. Bracken offered her a dance and she accepted.

They continued to have fun as the night went on, until Kendra tripped. She tried to grab onto the nearby tree branch but missed. Bracken reaches out and grabbed her but didn't have a good position. They both ended up wet sitting in a fountain.

They looked at each other and laughed. They decided to head back to Fablehaven we're Marla took many prom pictures that, as she said were most definitely embarrassing.


*half way through this I decided that I had way to many Seth stories in here. Once again all over the place but that's fine. also just another thought: a wise man once said "that the saddest and loneliest of people are those centered on themselves, the happiest are those getting lost in serving others" you don't have to always try to make things happy, because life don't work that way. If you give that person a smile, you do that thing you were asked, you don't complain, those are the kind of things that brings someone real joy, so my friends be happy, spread kindness.*
