Pinkie: I wish it was July 31st. Nope. I still have to wait a month. *sigh*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Happy birthday Pinkie!" exclaimed Shorty into my ear. I woke with a start.

"Already?" I managed to say.

"Yup." She said happy for me.

"I didn't even know today was July 31st. How do you know?" I said giddily.

"Zigzag told me." she answered.

When I got outside the boys were waiting for me.

"Happy Birthday!" they said.

"Thanks." I said happily.

"That's 14 from each of us." Magnet said.

"Oh on you don't!" I said.

"Get her!" yelled Zigzag.

Shorty held me down while they lined up to hit me.

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14, a pinch to grow an inch, a bunch to grow a bunch, and a sock to grow a block!" each one said.

It hurt a lot. Especially when Squid did it. I don't think he knows his own strength. By the time they were done, I had a bruise the size of Texas. How ironic.

Mr. Sir unlocked the 'library'; we grabbed our shovels, and headed out. Every time my shovel hit the ground, my arm ached. That day I was the last one done.
