The next day, there was lots of walking.
Hakkai was positive that they were almost out of the forest.
This made everyone walk faster, and by noon, they were out of the forest, and into a town.
Goku cheered when Sanzo declared that they were eating at a resteraunt right now.
At the resteraunt, Felix was still as much the life of the party as he was yesterday.
"Hey Hakkai!" Goku eyes lit up."What's the date today?"
Hakkai paused for a second. "Hmmm...I do belive that it's the 13th of August, Goku."
Felix leaned back in his chair and let out a low wistle."The 13th already? Wow Gato, I caught you just before my birthday!"
There was silence for a minute. And then Goku said,"Birthday! That means cake right Hakkai!"
Everyone laughed. Except Hazel. He was staring off into space.
Felix snuck up behind him and went "Haaaaaazel...Earth to Hazel! Come in Space Cadet Hazel!"
That got Hazel's attention. He looked over at the jagged-eyed man."Hm? Did I miss something?"
Sanzo drew in a puff off of his ciggarette."Felix's birthday is tomorrow."
Hazel blinked. "Happy birthday. How old are you?"
Felix grinned. "Twenty-three years young."
Gato rolled his eyes. Felix was definatly not acting his age. Like usual.
Felix tipped the chair back and said,"So, wha-ah!"
Gato had grabbed the back of Felix's chair and tipped it down a bit more, so it was only being held up by Gato's strenght."You really need to stop tipping your chair back, Little Brother." Gato grinned."You could fall." He then righted Felix's chair, enjoying the look of shock and suprize on the man's face.
Everyone laughed, and plans were made for the birthday party. With lots of cake.
