*Chapter 5: Elle's Birthday*

~*~ Flashback ~*~

At the ice-cream parlour, Aya ordered the first thing that caught her eye, a triple chocolate sundae. Three scoops of chocolate, hot fudge, cold fudge, chocolate chips, whipped cream and a wafer to top it off.

~*~ End Flashback ~*~

It was Saturday, and Tetsuya had successfully got Elle out of the house. Now, everything else was up to the rest and they were doing a pretty good job SO FAR, thank god. When she got home, streamers exploded into her face. She got such a shock, she screamed and buried herself into Tetsuya. He was laughing as he wrapped his arms around his friend. She finally got the guts to let go and met the sight of her friends laughing their asses off. She scowled at them as they led her in. the party went pretty well after that and blah, blah, yadda, yadda, until it was time to open the presents.

Aya and Sen joined forces to give her a remote-controlled projector that looked like a black box with a lens at one end and a slot at the other for mini-CDs (they used CDs, video-cassettes and diskettes now, they use 700mb mini-CDs then, k?) and hovers. Aki gave her a key chain in the form of a mini Smith & Wesson. Aoi and Tsuki gave her a new portable sewing machine. The Chens gave her a voice-controlled lamp that hovers three inches over any surface. It was basically this clear sphere. When you say, "Flying monkeys", four tiny little magic fireflies will wake up and their tails will light up, one red, two blue, and one green, each representing the four people who gave it to her. To turn it off, one had to say, "Follow the yellow brick road." Yong Li gave her an authentic 'Let Go' CD by Avril Lavigne (Mind you, she'll be thirty something 'now'). Ryo gave her a whole new stack of mini-CDs for her camera, bringing about glares from everyone else, because that meant more filming. He threw his hands up in defence, "What? I couldn't think of anything else!" Hoshi got her a new Discman and the adults got her ten metres of the best black silk they could find.

Alright, alright. I couldn't think of anything. That's why it's so damn bloody short. I forgot TOTALLY about Elle's (Or anyone else's for that matter) birthday. What utter sadness. Ah well.
