Ché and Kit met up with Robyn and Ziggy before they reached the sports field. With the two birthday people together Ziggy put his hands over Robyn's eyes while Ché covered Kit's. They led their respective person to the sports field and when they got there uncovered their eyes.
With their eyes uncovered Kit and Robyn looked around in awe at the decorations, the table and everything that had been set up. They'd not suspected anything at all and knew why they'd been taken off by Ché and Ziggy. Kit himself was very deeply moved, he'd never had such an effort made for him before and he was touched. He'd have to make sure that when the birthday speeches came along he'd show how grateful he was.
Whatever silence there was outside was broken by Ché's stomach rumbling loudly. Making the best of a funny situation as always Kit pretended that it was an earthquake and hid under the table making everyone laugh.
Stifling her laughter Greta broke in, "if you think his stomach rumbling is bad you should be around when he breaks wind."
"Instead of an earthquake it's a tornado right?" Kit laughed. "What does he do when there's a flash flood?"
Everyone laughed at this question. Without further jokes approaching and everyone feeling hungry they sat down and the dinner commenced. Salad bowls and condiments were passed around whenever they were asked for and short bursts of conversation occurred in between mouthfuls.
Robbie tried to squeeze some ketchup on his burger but it went everywhere and some ended up on him as well. After trying and failing to wipe it off of his waist coat with his napkin Kit handed him a handkerchief.
"Just how many handkerchiefs do you have?" Stingy asked.
Kit looked over to Stingy, "you know I'm not overly sure. I keep them all with me in my pocket, let me count them."
Taking a handkerchief out of his pocket Kit counted it and pulled out a whole string of handkerchiefs. Everyone laughed when two minutes later Kit was still pulling handkerchiefs out of his pocket. After a further minute the string of handkerchiefs came to end. Somehow Stingy was sorry he'd asked.
"I didn't know you could do magic tricks." Bessie said.
"Aside from everything else I do I'm a bit of an amateur magician. Robbie got me into it and has taught me a few tricks."
Sportacus suggested that while everyone's food went down before anyone tried any physical stuff that Robbie and Kit could put on a magic show. Kit and Robbie agreed to do one but warned that it would only contain small tricks because they didn't have most of the props required. Kit had joked that he could saw Robbie in half without a box which prompted everyone to roll their eyes.
When everyone had finished eating it was present time. Bessie and the Mayor went to fetch them from the house with help from Ziggy. The appropriate presents were shared out between Robyn and Kit. He two argued playfully over who should open their presents first. Eventually they agreed to take it in turns and Robyn was to start.
Robyn opened Ziggy's present first and amazingly it wasn't candy. It was a decorative photo frame.
Kit's first present was from Robbie and after opening the paper a little he burst out laughing and almost fell off of his seat. His reaction confused everyone and they were eager to see what was so funny. Only Robbie knew what the present was and he was glad that Kit obviously liked his present. Managing to calm down a little Kit tore off the rest of the paper and showed everyone what was so funny.
It was a pair of white boxer shorts with lots of pictures of Sportacus' head dotted around randomly. Riotous laughter broke out around the table at the sight of the boxer shorts. Kit had turned red from laughing and he was wiping tears of laughter from his eyes when he hugged Robbie.
"Oh wow!" Kit exclaimed looking at his present closer, "they've been autographed."
The laughter around the table grew. They all knew about the time that Kit had kissed Sportacus and it made the whole thing a lot funnier.
Once the laughter had died down a little and Robyn had managed to remember how to breathe she opened her next present. It was in a small bag stuffed with tissue paper and took some finding. Once she'd managed to find her present she saw it was a jewellery set. The present had been from Stephanie and Pixel.
Kit's next present was a brand new set of juggling balls and spinning plates from Ziggy.
"You're trying to give me hint aren't you?" Kit said looking at Ziggy with a mock menacing expression.
Ziggy nodded with a sheepish smile on his face.
Robyn's next present was from Trixie and it was a selection of bath salts, oils and foams. She knew that Robyn only ever used the bath and it was a good present.
Kit's third present was from Stingy and it was a small selection of earrings. Robyn's present was a new watch.
Kit's next present was from Robyn. Underneath the wrapping there was a long narrow box. Kit's face broke out into a smile when he opened the box; inside of it was a flute. Taking the flute gently from the box he looked it over and read an inscription the underneath, it read: 'music is the language of the soul. Take this and let your soul sing forever, Robyn xx'.
Kit turned to Robyn with bright eyes, "thanks. How did you know I played?"
"I found two halves of a flute in your bag. How did it break?"
"Someone sat on my bag years ago. It broke the flute in half and so it was unplayable."
Sportacus nodded. "Can you play us a tune?"
"I could try. It's been a while though. Let me get up and I'll have a little try." Kit replied.
Putting the flute on the table and trying to think of the best way to get up Kit tipped himself backwards into a backwards tumble and stood up. Everyone applauded this little trick and Kit took a bow. Picking up the flute Kit licked his lips and began to play. The interval between playing his last flute and trying out his new one hadn't affected his talent and he played his chosen song exquisitely. When he'd finished playing everyone applauded again and some people called for an encore. Kit declined the encore and promised to play again when the presents were all opened.
Kit's present from Stephanie and Pixel was a selection of male fragrances. Kit joked that they thought he smelt and he pretended to cry.
Sportacus' present to Robyn and Kit was a video camera. He advised them to use it only to film good things and nothing naughty. Everyone laughed at this while some followed their laughter with groans; they wanted to see some naughty stuff.
Doctor Cole's presents came next. He'd attached a small note to both apologising for his absence and included his wishes of a happy birthday. Robyn's present was a silver medic alert bracelet which listed her epilepsy on it, it was a nice gesture and useful if she was ever caught out somewhere outside of town. Kit's present was a pocket watch which he was very happy with too. His old pocket watch had broken when Ché had tossed him in the lake once.
The Mayor and Bessie had both chipped in together with Kit's and Robyn's present. They'd booked a week's holiday for the two to the famous Greentown Gardens resort which rested on the far side of Greentown and was a very luxurious place. Robyn had always wanted to go as the resort housed some of the best gardens in all of Greentown and was also a romantic hotspot.
Ché's and Greta's present came next. They had a villa nestled in the countryside of Andalucia in Spain and were going to let Robyn and Kit stay there for a while whenever they wanted to go.
"I'm pleased the offer and it's a nice present but how do you propose we get to Spain?" Kit asked.
Ché chuckled. "You'll let us know when you want to use the villa and you'll be picked up by Air Ché of course. My lovely air hostess Greta will cater for your every desire in flight and you'll have your own bed all to yourselves."
"I thought you only had two beds anyway. Where will you sleep?" Robyn asked intrigued.
"Me and Ché will share the other bed." Greta replied.
Kit smiled seeing an opening here, "and Ché, this time use a condom."
Everyone laughed at Kit's joke except Ché. Knowing he was in serious trouble Kit got up quickly from his seat and narrowly missed getting grabbed by Ché who'd gotten up to teach the young scallywag a lesson.
Kit managed to get quite a distance between himself and Ché but it was short lived. In seemingly no time Ché caught up with Kit and picked him up off of the ground. Thinking quickly about how to get Ché to let him go without throwing him somewhere Kit started to tickle Ché under his arms. It seemed that the giant was ticklish as he squirmed and started to laugh. As revenge for being tickled Ché set Kit down on his feet and tickled back. Kit was very ticklish and tried to call for help in between fits of laughter.
Before anyone could count to ten Ché was sprung upon by his previous attackers and a tickle fight ensued.
