All right guys! Here is Emily's 15th birthday! I went and saw Pitch Perfect 2 Saturday night! I loved it.

This chapter has very minor 'bad' words. Like one word appears once or twice.

Anyways, here's the next chapter!


On March 10th 1994 Emily woke up early. It was finally her 15th birthday and she was very excited.

She gets up and goes downstairs. Since today is a Thursday that means Emily will still have to go to school. She's looking forward to this afternoon when the Jareaus and her Dad throw her a birthday party.

After getting dressed Emily walks downstairs where her dad made her a special birthday breakfast. Orange juice, French toast, whip cream, and strawberries. The first time she ever had this was when she was two, and although she was barely able to eat the French toast, she still enjoyed.

"Morning, Daddy." She says as she sits down at the counter and James put the plate in front of her.

"Good morning, baby. Happy Birthday."

"Thank you." Emily eats her breakfast and finishes just as the phone begins to ring. She knows there's only one person who would be calling this early in the morning so she hurries to rinse her hands off before taking the phone from her dad.

"Hello?"

"Happy Birthday, Emmy!" JJ says excitedly. Emily wonders how she's able to have so much energy this early in the morning.

"Thank you, baby."

"Are you on your way over? I wanna show you your party decorations."

"Yes, I'm on my way right now. I just need to get my shoes and bag, ok."

"OK! Bye!" JJ hands up and Emily does the same.

"Are you going over there early?" James asks.

"Yeah, apparently JJ wants to show me the party decorations so I'm going over to see them and I'll just hang out for the next 15 so minutes." Emily grabs her bag after putting her coat and gloves on and then heads over to JJ's.


JJ's House. 7:30 a.m.

After walking into the house Emily drops her back on the couch and hands her coat on the coat hanger. She walks into the kitchen where she's nearly knocked down from JJ giving her a hug.

"Hi Jen."

"Happy Birthday, Em."

"Thank you, sweetheart."

"Do you want to see your party decorations?" JJ asks, jumping up and down.

"Sure. Where're they at?"

"Down in the basement. Daddy put up all the tables and chairs and it's decorated really cool." JJ grabs her hand and starts dragging to the basement door.

"Come on, I wanna show you before we hafta leave for school."

"All right, let's go." The two go downstairs and look at the decorations. The color theme is black, red, and silver. There's a 'Happy Birthday' banner hanging on the wall and on the tables are red and black plates and cups with silver spoons and forks.

"Do you like them?" Just asks.

"Yes I do. I like them very much." Emily replies.

"Uncle James let me pick out the color of the balloons. He said I can help him blow them up." JJ says excitedly.

"Well, I bet you'll be good at that. Do I get to help too?"

"Yes." Before JJ could say anything else, Sandy comes down and tells them it's time for school.

Since it's cold out, Michael offers to drive the kids to school before going to work.


At East Allegheny High School. 10:30 a.m. 3rd period.

It was almost lunchtime at the high school and Emily had yet to see any of her friends aside from a few brief moments this morning.

Her friends, Caiden, Alex, and Audrie, meet her in the cafeteria.

"Hey Em!" Caiden shouts from across the room. He waves Emily and Adie over to the table he and Alex are sitting at.

"Happy Birthday, Emily! I can't believe your birthday is two months before all of ours." Caiden says. Emily's birthday is in March whereas Caiden, Alex, and Audrie's birthdays are in May.

"Hey Em, are you still having your party at that kid's house? Which I still don't get. I mean you're fifteen now, why would you want to hang with a little kid anyway?" Alex mumbles.

"Ok first of all her name is JJ, not 'kid'. Second, yes I am having my party at her house. And third, I don't care if she's a lot younger than me, I'm not going to quit hanging out with her just because I'm in high school." Emily sighs and leans back in her chair, taking the carton of chocolate milk from her tray and opening it.

Alex rolls her eyes and huffs. "Well, I've been friends with my sister for a whole eight years, but she understands that I'm not going to hang out with her as much."

"Alex, I know your sister, ok. I also know that you were anything but nice when telling her you wouldn't hang out 'as much'." Emily puts quotation marks around the words 'as much' as Alex was very hateful when it came to explaining to Allyson that she wasn't going to hang out as much.

Alex opens her mouth to reply but is cut off by Caiden. "All right, that's enough! Alex come on. It's Em's birthday and the last thing you need to do is ruin it by starting another argument about who she chooses to have as friends. And besides, I've met JJ before. She's a sweet little girl and you'd love her once you actually get to know her."

"Listen Alex, you can either lose the attitude or you can just not come to my party. That's up to you." Emily takes another sip of her milk and then continues. "But I'm not going to let you ruin the whole day because you want to be snobby and critics my abilities to choose age appropriate friends."

"Whatever." Alex simply replies. She then stands, takes her tray, and walks away from the table.


That afternoon. 4:30 p.m.

That afternoon after school, Michael came to get Emily and her friends while James stayed and helped set up the last minute decorating.

Once Emily and her guests arrived she took them downstairs in the basement.

"Wow, I don't think I've been here since they fixed the basement up." Caiden says as he and Aubrie look around the basement.

Caiden often babysits JJ and brings his sister Alicia over to play with her.

"Yeah they did this a few months ago." Emily replies. She looks over at a table filled with presents. Caiden adds his, Adie's, and Alicia's presents to the pile.

"Em, do you and Caid wanna play some before its time for burgers and hot dogs?"

"Sure we do. Why don't you ask Emily if she wants to play though? It is her birthday after all."

"Ok, Em do you wanna play with us after you get done with your English homework?"

"Actually I don't have any homework tonight, so we can go play for a while before it's time for supper."

"Ok! Let's play hide-'n-go-seek! You can be it and me and Caid can show Adie our secret hiding place." JJ, Caiden, and Audrie go upstairs with Emily trailing behind them. She gives them a ten second head start and then starts counting.


Beginning of the party. 5:45 p.m.

Since it was just Caiden and Audrie that had come over, they didn't have to wait for anyone. So at 5:00, James and Michael starts the grill and begins cooking the hot dogs and hamburgers. It's an unusually warm afternoon, allowing the young teens and JJ to go outside.

"Hey Jen, do you want to show Caid and Adie our treehouse?" Emily asks the younger girl. JJ frowns at the suggestion.

"No, that's supposed to be our special place. No one else can know about it."

"Ok, ok. I'm sorry. I forgot we made that deal." She wraps her arms around the younger girl. "Now come on. I think the burgers are done."

The girls and Caiden go over and eat supper. After that it's time for cake, ice cream, and presents.

"Hey Jen, come here." JJ comes over and climbs into Emily's lap. Emily pulls the young girl's hair back with one and then gets ready to make a wish. Once she's done, the two blow out the 15 black and red candles that are in the cake.

It's been like this ever since the first birthday Emily celebrated with the Jareaus. JJ would help her blow the candles our and then help open the bigger presents.

After opening all the presents, Emily lays them out and begins to look through them. James bought her a diamond necklace and JJ had made her a friendship bracelet.

Emily opens the last bag, a pink one and pulls out a piece of paper. It's a drawing done by Alicia. It's of her, JJ, Emily, and Caiden at the park. Caiden and JJ are in the sandbox making a castle while Emily is pushing Alicia in the swings.


Later that night.

Later that night after packing up her gifts, Emily bid a good night to the Jareau family.

"Goodnight Emmy. Happy birthday, I love you." JJ says.

"I love you too, butterfly. Thank you for the bracelet. I really liked and I promise to wear it everywhere."

Emily and James walk back to the car and go home.
