Author's Note: Heya, close friends! Here is a new Finding Nemo one-shot. This was gonna be written due to fewest early days until my 16th birthday, which is on the 7th of this month. So, I hope you enjoy! ^_^

It was a beautiful morning in the Great Barrier Reef. The sun shone through the ocean slides.

The Tank Gang was sound asleep in their own dens. Trixie was the first one in the family gang to wake up. Excitedly, Trixie noticed that she was turning 6 at that time. She giggled and playfully swam to her parents' room.

Bubbles and Deb were sound asleep in their bed, and Trixie was nudging her parents to wake them up.

"Mommy! Daddy! Today's the day!" she squealed.

Slowly, Deb moaned and yawned quietly as she stretched her fins and tail. Deb looked up and said with a smile,

"Good morning, little girl! You're getting big."

"Morning, mom! I am planning to see Nemo!" Trixie replied as she giggled,

"The whole day is going!"

"Okay, sweetie, let's get your birthday prepared," Deb chuckled.

"Yippee!" Trixie cheered and swam out to get herself cleaned. Deb nudged Bubbles, who slowly opened his eyes after a yawn.

"Mornin', hon," Bubbles tiredly said with a grin, stretching his fins and tail.

As he kissed Deb with passion, Deb chuckled as she returned it. Then, the two got themselves cleaned, waiting for the others to wake up.

"Morning, guys!" a voice called.

There comes Bloat, with Gurgle and Jacques, who were all up.

"Volía! I heard that your daughter's 6," Jacques told Bubbles and Deb.

"Well, we might wanna make this a surprise, and NOT ruining it," Gurgle added with a small frown.

The others scowled at Gurgle for that sarcasm as Bloat slapped Gurgle, saying,

"Be nice! Do I have to tell you about this?!"

"Where's Trixie by the way?" Bloat asked to Bubbles and Deb.

"Oh, she is getting herself situated," Deb replied.

"She needs one more thing," Bubbles added, and called out to his daughter,

"Trixie! Be sure to wake your uncle Gill and auntie Peach, too!"

"I will, dad!" Trixie called back.

Gill and Peach are still fast asleep.

"Uncle Gill! Auntie Peach! Wake up, it's my birthday!" Trixie called and went around their bedside.

There was no response. Peach was cuddling Gill with her starfish arms as she slept soundly; Gill was doing the same to Peach, while snores are going on, as if he could sleep for so long. Trixie sighed with annoyance, and jumped onto Gill and Peach, who bursted awake and yelped.

"What time is it?" Peach asked.

"It's very late in the morning, auntie Peach!" Trixie replied.

In reaction, Peach chcukled and patted Trixie on the head as she said,

"Okay, honey, you got us."

"YAY!" Trixie cheered and swam out back to her parents, and even uncles Gurgle, Bloat and Jacques.

Peach nudges Gill with her arms, and Gill slowly stirred up and yawned deeply. With a smile, Gill nuzzled Peach with passion. Then, the two went out to get themselves cleaned.

Once they did so, they met up with the others. Trixie was even more excited to see her uncle Gill and aunt Peach awake, like the others. Peach decided to give space, and saw Trixie hugging her uncle tightly with passion. Peach smiled, so did the others.

"Happy birthday, little one," Gill said as he gave his little niece a nudge and a kiss in his fins.

Trixie giggled, and nuzzled her uncle back lovingly.

"Guys!" a voice called from outside.

The Tank Gang stopped and came outside. There stood Nemo, who was 12-and-a-half years old, Marlin and Dory. They all exchanged handshakes and hugs; Nemo and Trixie were more happy to see each other while they started playing. The adults felt awed.

"Marlin, will you help us out?" Deb said as she had Marlin aside by her.

"Sure, Deb! What can I do for you?" Marlin responded with a smile.

Deb whispered to him as she quietly did so,

"It's Trixie's 6th birthday, and we wanna make this surprise for my little one."

"Wow!" Marlin said in surprise.

"Ooh!" Nemo and Dory said in unison.

"I have no idea! Well, we'll wonder what presents should we buy for her," Marlin added with a smile.

"Exciting!" Dory cheered.

"So, what will me and Trixie do?" Nemo asked,

"Why won't you take Trixie out?" Bubbles demanded,

"We wanted it to be a surprise, but not until we buy presents and surprises."

"Right," Nemo understood, reassuring Trixie that she won't ruin her birthday surprise.

The other Tank Gang members decided to help out with Marlin and Dory setting up a surprise for Trixie, aiding Bubbles and Deb on that action.

"Nemo, we are gonna go out and just buy your cousin's birthday surprises! Keep supervision on your cousin, okay?" Marlin called.

"I will, dad!" Nemo called back, reassuring Trixie, who was told by her parents that they and the others will be back soon.

Much, much later…

Nemo and Trixie were playing with each other when the adults come back.

"Oh, here they come!" Nemo said excitedly with Trixie.

Marlin and Dory came back with the Tank Gang and lets Nemo help them out while Nemo takes Trixie out.

"Okay, Trixie, why don't you wait here? Your aurprise is gonna be the best and not ruined," Nemo said as he hugged his cousin with passion.

"I will, Nemo," Trixie replied kindly and returned the hug.

Nemo nodded as he headed back inside. As Trixie waits outside with curiosity, as if no one is watching, she noticed Marlin and Dory coming with the surprises.

"Hey, Trixie!" Marlin said.

"Hi, uncle Marlin and Ms. Dory!" Trixie replied.

"So we heard it was your birthday, eh? You coming inside?"

"Oh, I can't come in. Because my family is planning a secret surprise," Trixie replied.

"How lovely!" Dory responded.

"That's great. See you later," Marlin added as he and Dory swam back inside.

"Bye," Trixie replied, and sighed with curiousity.

Moments went by, Trixie waited for long; all of a sudden, Gill swam quickly and said,

"Trixie! Would you like to come inside now?"

"Oh, yes, I wanna go inside, uncle Gill!" Trixie responded cheerfully.

"Now, close your eyes; keep holding my fin and do not let go," Gill whispered with a smile as he held Trixie's fin while her eyes are closed, but her fin was held by her uncle's.

"We're ready, gang!" Gill called out.

"Oh, quick they're coming!" Nemo whispered to everyone.

So, he, Marlin, Dory and the Tank Gang members ducked down while Gill came quickly just in time, as if he already let Trixie open her eyes, but the room's lights were out.

Trixie shyly swam inside, but noticed the lights were back on, and her family shouted out together,

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TRIXIE!"

Trixie gasped with tears, and squealed loudly.

"Wow! I never have seen anything like it!" she said.

"Nemo's got you something, little niece," Marlin told his niece kindly as Nemo handed Trixie a present.

"Happy birthday, Trix!" he said.

Trixie polietly took the present from Nemo, unwrapped it, and there laid a shiny necklace mde with real treasure!

"Wow, a necklace?! NO WAY!" Trixie squealed after she opened the present.

"This was from your older cousin Sharkbait," Gill said as he nuzzled his niece with love.

Trixie giggled playfully, but noticed BIG hugs coming from Gurgle, Bloat and Jacques.

"Best little niece, you're getting big," Bloat said with a smile.

"Ouí," Jacques replied.

"Heh, nice birthday going on," Gurgle chuckled sarcastically.

"Shut it, Gurgle! Just be nice, okay?!" Gill scolded Gurgle.

"That's right," Bloat sneered with an unhappy feeling to Gurgle, so did the others.

Gurgle groaned in apology. Nemo, Marlin and Dory facepalmed themselves.

"Anyway, Trixie, honey, since it's your birthday today, wanna go the arcades center?" Peach asked kindly.

"HOORAY! ARCADES!" Trixie cheered,

"I LOVE THIS SURPRISE!"

Nemo cheered as well; Marlin, Dory and the Tank Gang smiled.

Nemo, Marlin, Dory and the Tank Gang took Trixie to the arcades center.

They paid the cashier for bowling and even arcade games. As time went on, they all made time for dinner.

The workers set up pizza boxes, and even Trixie's birthday cake made with kelp.

"Okay, guys, gather around the cake!" Gill announced to his family.

"My birthday cake?!" Trixie cheered.

"That's right! That's your cake," Nemo replied with a smile.

"Whoa!" Trixie said as Gurgle, Bloat and Jacques lit up the candles.

"Ooh, I love parties; that must be where this is going!" Dory said cheerfully.

Trixie chuckled. As Nemo, Marlin, Dory and the Tank Gang had the candles lit on the birthday cake, they began to sing Happy Birthday. After that, Trixie blew out the candles, and her family cheered.

"Happy birthday, darling," Deb said with a kiss to Trixie.

"Thank you," her daughter replied with a shy smile.

Bubbles announced the first piece for his birthday daughter, and they had noticed that their pizza was already eaten before the birthday cake.

Later in the evening…

Nemo, Marlin, Dory and the Tank Gang hugged Trixie, who giggled with happy tears.

"This was the best birthday surprise ever!" she cheered.

The others smiled, and they all began to head home after they already played with arcade games and something like that.

Time progressed since midnight has approached. The Tank Gang thanked Nemo, Marlin and Dory for helping out with Gill and cheering up Trixie. The three nodded and bid the Tank Gang goodnight.

Back in their own neighborhood, Marlin and Nemo bid Dory goodnight, and Dory did the same, then fell asleep in her own home; Marlin tucked Nemo to sleep with him in the sea anemone, and fell right to sleep.

Meanwhile in the other neighborhood, the Tank Gang were getting themselves situated for bed. Gurgle, Bloat and Jacques were asleep next to each other with Bubbles and Deb cuddling Trixie, who was now 6 years old at that time, on their beds around their leader's bedside. Gill and Peach were sound asleep, giving each other nudges, cuddles and lovely embraces.

Happily, their family is together ever since after difficulties of comforting each other.
