Chapter 5: Happy Birthday!

"Hey, Picard!"

Picard turned at the mention of his name. The speaker was Isaac, running up with Flint perched on his head.

"Oh, hello, Isaac," Picard nodded. "The Djinni and I have been having quite the adventure today."

"C'mon! There's something I got to show you!" Isaac pulled him to his feet and began running back up the path. "Hurry!"

They ran through a strangely vacant Vale, up to near one of the waterfalls, the Djinni bouncing along behind them.

They entered a clearing full of Psynergetic light.

There was large amounts of food laid out on tables all around the clearing, different colored orbs of light settled in the trees and on the tables like faeries. The entire village was there, and they all beamed when they saw him.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY PICARD!"

Picard was stunned. "H-how did..."

"Spring told Core, and Core told me," Jenna explained with a grin. "C'mon, let's go eat!"

After a feast, Picard began opening presents. One of them, a dart board with a detail of Conservato's head drawn on it, made him laugh.

"C'mon!" he hung it onto a tree. "Who wants to play darts?"

"Wait! We saved the best for last!" Jenna turned to the crates. "C'mon, Garet!"

There was an explosion of color and fire, flowers and stars and even a few that looked roughly like Djinn.

"This has to be the best Birthday I've ever had," Picard grinned. "Hey, where's Kraden?"

~*Back in the Linen Closet*~

"...Hello? Isaac? Can you let me out now?" Kraden asked, trying the doorknob for the billionth time.

THE END!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 'Lena and Vil!! May all of your wishes for today and tomorrow andforever come true always!
