Trance was taken back at the sight before her. "Happy Birthday, Trance," Dylan said to her, as he came up to her side and she hugged him.
"You guys shouldn't have," she started, as she looked around at the decorations. "This all so amazing. Who did it?"
"Rommie decorated," Harper pointed out, as he joined the others in front of the table with the cake. "We helped out where we could."
"Everyone knew about this?"
"Yeah, we did," Beka said, as she came forward. "And you almost ruined the idea with the fact that you're having a party tomorrow."
"I had to throw one tomorrow, because I kinda knew about this one. I just didn't know all the details."
"Can we eat now?" Harper asked, getting an elbow from Rommie. "What I'm hungry?"
"Harper, you always are thinking about food," Beka said, as she looked over at him with a scowl.
"Not always. It's just the sooner that we eat cake, the sooner Trance can get her gifts."
"Gifts?" Trance asked, as her face lit up. "You guys got me gifts?"
"Of course, Trance. Birthdays aren't birthdays without gifts."
"This probably has been one of my better birthdays." Trance then hugged the rest of the crew, including Tyr. She then spotted the cake with a sun drawn in yellow and orange frosting. "Oh, it's beautiful. Thank you guys." Beka then began to cut up the cake and handed out the slices.
Tears of joy ran down Trance's face as the crew told stories of past birthdays, some good some not so good. Soon the cake and the rest of the food had been eaten but she didn't notice. She loved being around them and knowing that they were happy.
"Now to the gifts," Harper said with a huge smile, as he looked over at her. "You're going to have to close your eyes."
"Of course." Trance covered her eyes, as the others got their gifts to give to her.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now."
