While Katie was in the shower, Eve and Roxie were planning what to do for Katie's birthday, they'd already bought her gifts, now they just needed to make sure she had fun for the entire day, that wouldn't be too hard, would it?
"I saw a public swimming pool area while we were walking around the other day, we could take her there, after we give her your present of course." Roxie said, giggling manically to herself. "Yep, and after that, I saw a night club to, we could take her there." Eve said. "Yea, then the only way the night could get better for Katie is if Michael was there." Roxie started giggling again, but stopped when she saw Eve's serious face. 'Was it something I said?" Roxie managed to get out before Eve started dragging her out of the room.
Michael was running laps around the park, it was part of Judy's new fitness régime, each of the All Stars had to do some kind of cardio vascular activity for at least two hours a day. 'Emily couldn't have woken me up in five minutes, nooo, she had to wake me up then.' Michael was so focused on his thoughts that he almost ran a certain two girls over.
"Oopps. Sorry." He said as he jogged on spot. "I didn't see you there." And now that he was actually focusing on their appearances. "Hey, aren't you Katie's friends?" He asked, the two girls nodded and Michael smiled at the thought of the Texan. "Yea, it's her birthday tomorrow!" Roxie said happily, Eve gave her a look, but inside she was screaming. 'Roxie and her naive way of working with my plans that she doesn't know exist yet.'
"Really, how old is she turning?" Michael was genuinely interested now, Roxie grinned and proudly said. "Eighteen." Michael smiled and he stopped jogging on spot. "What are you going to do for her birthday?" He wasn't going to crash their party, him, Michael Parker, no way, he would just coincidentally wind up where they were going. "There." Roxie pointed to the recreation centre, it had work out machines, air hokey, and an indoor pool. "Cool, we'll I got to get going ladies, catch ya later." And he began running off, Roxie turned to Eve, a confused look on her face. "So why are we out here?" Eve sighed but smiled. "To get Katie some coffee."
Katie was sitting on her bed, tapping her feet impatiently, she was just beginning to tap the tune to the death march, when Eve and Roxie came into the room. "And where have you been for the past half an hour?" She asked impatiently, the girls just looked at each other and down at their hands, Katie followed their eyes and smiled, coffee, coffee they brought her coffee. "Thank you." She quickly took a Styrofoam cup and took off the lid, inhaling the sweet, addictive aroma. 'Mmm. Coffee....'
"We saw Michael on our way to get the coffee!" Roxie said as she finished drinking her own, she was on a caffeine high. "Really." "Yep, and he was running around and almost ran us over." ".....That's nice to know Roxie." Katie said, she wasn't really listening, seeing as Michael already had a girlfriend and there was probably a list of girls who wanted to date him, that, and she was too absorbed in her coffee. 'Ah, what would I do without you, oh love of my life?' She thought, staring into the brown depths of her cup.
"So, what did you guys get me?" Katie asked slyly as she grinned, Roxie just smiled and Eve raised her eyebrows. ".... I suppose you're not going to tell me then?" The two shook their heads and Katie sighed, she wanted her presents now!
"Come on, let's go shopping!" Roxie said excitedly as she began dragging the two other girls out of the room.
Michael was listening to Judy comment about their cardio vascular activities, and how much they should improve during the course of a week, and how much they should improve on average within a month. 'All these stats are so boring, does it really matter how much we improve?' Michael knew the answer was yes, and if he asked that question he would get a bashing from both Judy and Emily. 'I can see it now, no free time for a week, what a horrible punishment.' He tried his best to pay attention, but Judy was droning on and on and he was starting to drift off into la la land, he would have been asleep by now if not for Eddy and Steve constantly jabbing him in the ribs. 'Friends, what would I do without them?'
Katie was sitting down on a bench in the second mall they had been in that day. Her two friends were currently checking out a store across from her, Katie was totally out of energy and was looking at the two bags on either side of her, she had gotten herself a pair of nice, baggy black pants, a tight crimson shirt that went with it, and she had a black zip up sweater that was trimmed in crimson.
"Hey Katie! Let's go get some lunch!" Roxie said excitedly as she began dragging Katie over to the food court, Eve following with a small smile on her face.
At the end of the day Katie collapsed on the bed, you'd be tired to if you had walked through three malls in one day and you had an over enthusiastic friend who never seemed to get tired and just dragged you around all day long. 'Mmmm. Need sleep.' She started to snuggle up with her pillow, when Eve started tugging on her hair. "Come on, don't sleep in your clothes." Katie glared at the blonde through half open eyes and tiredly changed into her pajamas. "Anything lese you want me to do before I am taken into sleep's waiting arms?" Eve shook her head no and Katie practically fell asleep before she her head hit the pillow.
Eve and Roxie grinned to each other, tomorrow they were going to make sure Katie had a great birthday.
FASH: Well, tomorrow is Katie's birthday and Michael's going to crash the 'party'. Don't worry I'll pair them together soon, but will Precious relinquish Michael, nope, so what'll she do?
