Author Note: Once again this was written by myself and Doctor G. Reaper. It starts off slow, but does improve. At least I think it does.

Henry paces in front of the once sealed door to his residence. He glances down at a watch on his wrist that he received from some odd blonde guy handing out smelly objects. On his head is a pink party hat. "I hope everyone got the invitations to my Birthday..." he mutters to himself while pacing.

There is a loud banging on the door. Henry walks over to the door and opens. In the hallway stands Walter. Walter smiles widely. Obviously he attempted to look nice by running a comb through his hair one full time. He holds out a large package with a very messily done bow, "Happy Birthday 21121-er-Henry.." Henry take the package and looks at it. Walter enters the room. Richard appears at the door.

Henry looks at Richard and waves "Hello." Behind him, Walter is scarfing down chips and stabbing at a pinata with a plastic spoon. Richard gives Henry a plastic bag and enters the room. He glares at Walter. "Brat." Henry looks at the bag, shrugs, and sets it on a table along with Walter's present. Walter glares at Richard, but is still smiling. Jasper enters to room, sees Walter, and runs behind Richard, "I-I-It's him. O-Oh, and H-Happy Anniversary H-Henry."

Henry raises his eyebrow at Jasper and shakes his head. Eileen enters and gives Henry a nicely wrapped present. She sees Walter and then hides behind Henry. Walter looks between all of them, "Oh c'mon. Can't we all get along? For this special day? The day fourty-seven years ago this man would grace us? And become a sacrament?" Henry feels offended by being thought as being fourty-seven and mutters under his breath, "What the hell."

Eileen continues to hide behind Henry. Jasper gets a sudden burst of energy and jumps on Walter. "G-g-go h-h-horsey." Walter rears and starts galloping around the room. He starts neighing, but instead of making the noise is literally saying 'neigh'. Henry repeats himself "What the hell." Richard does something so unexpected everyone stops and stares at him. He had actually laughed. The stares stop as Joseph falls from the ceiling and lands face first on the floor. He holds up a present to Henry.

Henry was about to give a third 'What the hell' but is stopped as Joseph falls. He takes the present and sets it with the others. Walter walks over to Joseph and pokes at him with a toe. Joseph says something but no-one hears what he says because he is talking into the carpet. Walter continues to poke at him. Walter lifts Joseph up by the back of the neck and shakes him gently. Everyone leans foward, curious to what Joseph has to say.

Joseph glares at Walter. "I said stop poking me." Joseph then begins shaking himself in hope that it will loosen Walters grip on the back of his neck. Walter lazily drops Joseph and returns to the pinata, which is near to being opened and spilling candy. Henry frowns, because the birthday boy is supposed to be the one who breaks the pinata.

Joseph stands back up. A confused look appears on his face. He jumps up and down for a few seconds, then looks down and screams with joy. "My legs are back!" Everyone offers an unenthusiastic clap for Joseph. Mike pokes his head into the room curiously, "Psst, is Rachel going to be here?"

Everyone ignores Mike. Joseph starts running around the room, testing out his legs. Eileen is still hiding behind Henry. Henry frowns at Walter for no reason other than he had tried to kill him. Walter decides to try and take away Joseph's happiness by sticking a foot out in front of him and tricking him. He points and giggles. Laura runs into the room, "Ha ha."

Joseph glares at Walter. "You're just angry because I gave Henry the information needed to prevent the 21 Sacraments being completed." With that said Joseph stands and sticks his tongue out at Walter. Walter points at him, "Damn you!" He looks around until he finds a plastic spoon and tackles Joseph. Henry rubs his forehead, "Who wants cake?"

Joseph kicks Walter in the groin and jumps up. "Can I have some please?" Joseph walks over to Henry while keeping an eye on Walter. Walter groans and rolls around with his hands over his groin. Henry nods and cuts a slice of cake, which has little candy flowers on it, and gives it on a plate to Joseph. Jasper looks at Henry, "D-Do you have a-any more c-chocolate milk?"

Henry points to the fridge. Eileen stops hiding behind him and laughs at Walter groaning in pain. Just for fun Eileen kicks him in the side. More like for revenge. Jasper, after getting the milk, decides beating Walter looks fun. While holding the endless supply of milk to his mouth, he grabs the pinata stick and begins beating Walter. Walter attempts to roll away from them.

Eileen stops kicking and decides to look for something to hit with. Looking around she finds nothing. She goes back to kicking. "Ha. How do you like getting the crap beat out of you?"

"My crap is not being beaten out of me, thank you very much." Walter corrects and staggers up. Jasper is still drinking and continues to beat at Walter. Henry sighs and eats some cake. Joseph looks towards Henry. "Anyone else coming?" Henry shakes his head, "I was going to invite Mr. Sunderland, but I haven't paid him yet. So I wrote him a letter that says I'm going on a vacation."

Joseph sighs with relief. "Thank God he isn't coming. I still owe him rent from before everything went to hell." Joseph laughs nervously and then goes and eats some chips.

Walter is badly bruised, frustrated, and wants pie. He backs away slowly from all of the others and dramatically jumps out of a window. Everyone stares in silence. Henry breaks this silence, "What the he-" He doesn't get to finish, due to choking on a candy flower.

Eileen then asks one of the most stupid questions ever to be asked. "Is he insane?" She points to the window Walter had just jumped out of. Everyone gives her a confused look. Jasper sets down the chocolate milk and belches, "Uh-s-sor-e-excuse me."

"That kid really pisses me off." Richard says looking out the window trying to spot if the younger Walter is coming. Younger Walter is already standing at the door, holding out a present wrapped in cute squirrel-patterend wrapping-paper. He shuffles his feet shyly. "Awww." Everyone says at once except Richard who wants to skin the little runt.

Henry blinks and takes the present from the younger version of Walter, whom gives everyone a cute and helpless look. Just to make the day much worse, Andrew enters and slap Young Walter across the head. He then sits on a nearby chair. Andrew receives many glares for hurting such a cute kid. Young Walter's bottom lip quivers, but then he bares his teeth and leaps at Andrew. "The boy is the spawn of Satan and eats peanutbutter." Andrew shouts as he jumps away from Young Walters attack.

Jasper sits up, "

Peanut b-b-b-b-b-butter goes good with chocolate milk!" Young Walter lands catlike and turns to Andew, hissing. Andrew scratches the back of his head and then raises his middle finger at Young Walter. Eileen slaps Andrew across the back of the head. Young Walter automatically goes innocent looking and bats his eyes at Eileen.

"See, he is just a cute little boy who wants his Mommy." Eileen hits Andrew with a rolling pin for being so mean. Andrew sneers, Young Walter runs over to Eileen and hugs her leg. Eileen glares at Andrew and gives Young Walter a hug. Henry ponders on if he and Eileen ever got married, they'd adopt Young Walter. He also wonders if they could adopt Jasper.

Kaufmann enters. "My test subject." With that said Kaufmann leaves. Everyone looks at the door confused. Jasper waves, "B-Bye Master!" Everyone wonders when Jasper became a test subject. Joseph looks at Jasper and as the question. "When did you become a test subject?"

Jasper beams, "W-When we met at a barber shop. He-He said that he's going to shape m-me into a f-f-fine doctor, minus th-the stutt-stutt-stu-stutter." Kaufmann re-enters. "It was a bar and I said I was going to groom him into a fine doctor. Minus the stutter. Kaufmann leaves again. Joseph looks at Jasper. "Well, he has done a bad job with the stutter."

Jasper frowns, "I-I personally think I've gotten better." Henry gives the lack of much action a disappointed look, and wonders if he should hire a stripper by the name of Cynthia. Andrew turns to Henry. "You really should hire a stirpper called Cynthia. This party is going downhill. I'm sure Eileen wouldn't mind at all."

"Okay. I conveniently know a stripper called Cynthia." Not trusting the phone in his room, Henry phones Cynthia on his new cell phone and requests a show. Andrew claps his hands like a complete and utter idiot. He then sits by the door for the stripper. He is a pervert after all and best friends with Mike.

Henry shrugs, "She does owe me. But Walter went and killed her before she could give me a special favor. Oh well, she's magically revived so I guess she can give it to me." Henry smiles a little. Henry's not much of a pervert, so he actually means she owes him a homemade chocolate pie. Andrew looks towards Henry and mumbles. "Lucky sonofabitch. Andy never get hot loving."

Pyramid Head eagerly tries to get through the door, but his helmet gets stuck, "Did I hear stripper and hot loving?" Joseph squeaks in horror at Pyramid Head. "No. You heard paint stripper and thats a hot oven." Joseph now has another fear, besides ceilings, to add to his list. Pyramid Head sighs in annoyance and moves on to find another place where strippers are gathering. Henry blinks a few times, "What the hell?"

Being a journalist, Joseph is naturally always asking questions, trying to find things out. "So Henry. Were your first words 'What the hell?'?" Henry nods and digs around into a drawer, pulling out a book labeled 'The Baby Book'. He turns to a page titled 'First words', and sure enough, 'What the hell' is written down. "I also won a 'What the hell' speaking contest when I was five."

"I was actually being sarcastic." Joseph replies amazed that they really were his first words. "I bet you said your first words when you took your first steps."

"No. I said them when my dad started doing the cha-cha in a hula skirt." Henry corrects.

"A hula skirt?"

"Yeah. It was pretty nasty. I was about two then." While Henry and Joseph are discussing Henry's dad in a hula skirt, Walter has snuck back in and is stealing the party favors. Andrew continues to guard the door, waiting for the stripper. Eileen has returned to hiding behind Henry since Walter has returned.

Cynthia enters the room and throws her arms in the air, "Who's ready for a party?" she shouts to her audience and trills. All the male members of the room cheer. Eileen looks very unimpressed. Cynthia grins testingly at Eileen, "Oh, don't be a spoil sport because you know I'm more attractive than you." Everyone looks to Eileen.

Eileen smirks at Cynthia. "Really? Then why did James Sunderland say you look like a cross between a frog and a demented Leonard?" Cynthia's mouth drops open, "WHAT?" A few people cough to hide snickers. Cynthia crosses her arms and makes a clicky-noise with her tongue with a huff, "Well James can't tell a parrot from a tomato."

Eileen laughs. "Yeah. Also Vincent, Harry, Joseph, Leonard, Douglas and Eddie said the exact same thing. Eddie is having you know what with Dahlia." Eileen laughs again. "Now thats saying something." Cynthia looks around for support. No one backs her up. Walter taps his foot and looks at Eileen, "Does that mean I get to kill her?"

Eileen glares at Walter. "No. It does not!" Walter frowns and actually obeys Eileen "Okay." Cynthia shakes a fist, "Well, you all can forget having a strip show!" Cynthia leaves the room. As she is leaving Joseph can't resist making a comment. "She also walks like a frog." Jasper nods in agreement, "I hea-heard she even has webbed feet."

Leonard enters the room and shows off his webbed feet. "Quack, quack, quack." Leonard then leaves. Walter blinks, "Well that was a random event. Is it time to open presents yet?" Henry completely forgot it was his birthday and nods, "Uh-yeah. Sure." Everyone gathers around the table where all the presents are, Andrew and Jasper place two more on the table.

Henry approaches the presents and looks between all of them. He decides on Young Walter's first, since it looks the most innocent. He opens the present and inside is a familiar looking doll, "Aww. How nice. This can be a decoration for the inside of my storage box." Young Walter smiles shyly at Henry and then gives Andrew a kick in the shin. There really is no reason for it.

Henry gives Young Walter a pat on the head and moves on to Andrew's gift. Henry open the gift from Andrew and then gives Andrew a confused look. "It's a stick. To beat annoying children with." Andrew explains.

He shrugs and thanks Andrew, moving on to Jasper's present. He opens the box to find a picture of Jasper drinking chocolate milk. "It's a picture of me setting a world record." In the background of the picture is Kaufmann with a stopwatch and Kenneth with a scheming look.

Richard then pushes Henry to open the plastic bag he gave him when he arrived. Henry opens the plastic bag to find nothing inside. Everyone looks towards Richard. "What? It's not like we're best buddies. Actually I don't have any friends." Richard says proudly. Richard receives a few glares for being a bastard and Henry has a slightly disappointed look, but decides that a plastic bag could come in some use someday. Henry eyes Walter's present, unsure on whether it's safe to open.

Walter grins insanely at the present in front of Henry. Everyone else, including Richard, give it a worried look. They all wait for Henry to open it. Henry cautiously begins to open it. Inside the large box, he finds a smaller box, "Okay..." He opens the smaller box to find yet another smaller box. Everyone is getting anxious, wondering what is in the box. Henry finally opens the last box to find a spoon and a little monkey with cymbals.

Everyone glances at Walter confused waiting for some sort of explaination. It does not appear that Walter is willing to share. Everyone turns back to Harry. Henry is really confused, wondering what he's going to do with a spoon and a monkey. He flicks the switch of the monkey and it starts clapping and rolling around. Henry looks at Walter, really wishing there was some explanation.

To distract everyone from Walters present, Joseph pushes the one he brought forward. Henry opens it while keeping an eye on the monkey. It's a notebook. "Living inside Walters mother, you're going to need a notebook or a priest." Joseph says. Henry is glad, because a notebook is pretty useful. Henry makes a mental note to also get Vincent. He thanks Joseph and looks at Eileen.

Eileen pushing the neatly wrapped present towards. He quickly opens it and finds a cuddly Robbie the Rabbit. "He's just so darn cute." Eileen says smiling. Henry blinks at the doll and hugs Eileen. He's not much of a fan for stuffed animals, but a gift from Eileen is great.

With all the presents open there is nothing to do. "Now what?" Asks Richard who really wants to go back to his apartment to watch Cooking With Valtiel. Henry shrugs, "I guess you guys can go now." Jasper is glad, because he wants to get back to his Master. Jasper rolls through the door.

Eileen runs out of the room. It's not that she does not like Henry, she does. She still kind of paranoid about Walter and his 21 Sacraments thing. Young Walter scoots out of the room, afraid Andrew will put Henry's new stick to use. When out of the room, he breaks into a run. Andrew follows Young Walter with the intention of beating him senseless. Richard follows so he can watch TV. This leaves just Henry, Joesph and Walter in the room.

Henry turns to the two. Walter is playing with the monkey toy that he got for Henry and is giggling. "You do know that I've been living in your ceiling. Now that I'm free, I'm homeless." Joseph says sadly. He then glares at Walter. Henry smiles at Joseph, "You can stay here until you find a place. The only drinks I ever get are wine and chocolate milk. That's okay isn't it?"

Joseph smiles. "I would accept but I'm paranoid about a certain person coming to kill me. That and when Sunderland finds out I'm alive he is going to be demanding rent."

"That's true. Kind of wish I was in your place. Oh well." Henry shrugs and looks to where Walter is. Walter is imitating the monkey. Henry cannot see how someone can be so amused by such a stupid toy. "Walter want a peanut?" Joseph teases Walter with a bag of peanuts that have come out of nowhere. Walter looks at the peanut and nods eagerly, opening his mouth. Henry raises his eyebrow.

Disappointed that Walter was not angry, Joseph gives him the peanuts. He sits back on the sofa then looks over to Henry. "I think we should have a mans weekend. Drink beer, belch and fart. All weekend." Henry nods in agreement, "Yeah, that sounds good. I haven't had beer since I got locked up in here."

"That is because you have a never ending supply of chocolate milk and wine." Joseph towards Walter who is still playing with the monkey. "What is so great about that damned monkey?" Walter stops, thinks for a moment, and shrugs his shoulders, "I really don't know."

Josephs nose twitches. "Can I play with it?"

Henry nods, "Sure." Walter ignores Joseph and continues playing with the monkey.

Joseph looks nervously at Walter and then the monkey. He pokes the monkey. Walter snaps at Joseph for poking the monkey and hunches over it defensively. Joesph jumps back. "Dammit Walter. I just want to play with it." Walter frowns and looks at Henry. Henry nods, "I said he could play with it Walter. It's my toy." Walter sticks out his bottom lip and decides to play with the Robbie doll instead.

Joseph pokes at the monkey again. The cymbols starts clapping. This causes Joseph to giggle inanely. He pokes it again and the cymbols start going off again. Henry scratches his head, "What is so amusing about that monkey? It just... claps." Joseph waves him over while giggling still. "Just poke the monkey."

Henry walks over to the monkey, eyes it, and pokes it. He breaks into a fit of giggles. This is shocking for Henry, but not as shocking as it was when Richard laughed. Joseph waves Walter over. "Poke the monkey Walter." Walter pokes it and giggles. They all begin poking the monkey repeatedly, giggling every time.

Eileen comes back into the room wondering what is happening. She sees the three men poking the monkey. "What the hell?" It seems she has taken a leaf from Henrys book. Henry points accusingly at Eileen, "Eileen, that's my line. You have to try this. It makes me giggle like a girl." Henry points to the monkey.

Eileen looks at him. "What? Poke the monkey?"

Henry nods and smiles, "Yes. Go ahead. Poke it."

Eileen walks over the monkey with a straight face. She pokes it once. Her lips threaten to smile. She pokes it againa and she bursts into a fit of giggles. Henry goes back to doing his share of poking as well as the others. The four continue to poke then giggle, poke then giggle, poke then giggle. That is until Frank enters the room. "Wheres my rent, Henry?"

Henry winces, "Uhmm..." Walter is annoyed by having his monkey-poking interrupted and jabs Henry's spoon into Frank. "Sick bastard." They go back to poking. After a few months, they all have become insane, except Walter who was already insane.
