"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Crash! Happy Birthday to you!" Everyone sang at Crash's birthday.

"Who wants cake?" Lillie yelled as she held up cake.

"I'll have some, mate!" Dingo said he took a piece.

"You're welcome!" Lillie said trying to get the dingo to use his manners.

"Yup!" Dingo said as he walked towards Mr. Koala.

"Happy Birthday Crash! (Gives him a kiss!)" Tawna said as she handed him a present.

"MOM! Can we please open the presents?!" Crash said with a sad little face.

"Ok."

"YAY! Lets see, I'll open, 'Mom and Dad's' present!" Crash said as he ripped open a box with red paper on it that said Crash in green all over.

"It's a shirt that says, 'we love you Crash! - Mom and Dad' and its in size 2! It fits perfectly!" Crash said as he excitedly put it on.

"Thanks mom and dad!" Crash said as he gave his parents a hug.

"We love you Crash!" His mom and dad said at the same time.

"Next is Tawna! Lets see, its, its, its... shoes?" Crash said as he opened a blue box with dark maroon boots in it.

"They are specially made to get bigger with your feet, when they get bigger! That way, you wont have to buy new ones!" Tawna said as if they were the greatest things in the world.

"Thanks, they are pretty cool!" Crash said as he put the boots on his feet.

"Next present is from dingo. Hm, there are two boxes. I'll open this one first. Co-ol! Tan pants!" Crash said as he held them up.

"Whoops! That's me dry cleaning, mate!" Dingo said as he snatched them from Crash.

"Well in this box there is a pair of jeans! YAY!" Crash said as he put on the jeans.

"They're a little big, but I'll fit into them!" Crash said as he showed everyone. Later that night, Lillie had to go to the hospital (jungle hospital) because she had pains in her stomach. When she came back the next morning, she told Crash and Henry the good news.

"Crash, sweetie, your going to have a little sister. And Henry, you're going to be the father of two wonderful children!"

"Sweet!" Crash said with a grin.

"Crash, you wont be aloud to play games with her, she still has to learn things, you just came out a geniuses, but that only happens once in a million years! So promise me you will leave her alone."

"Ok, I promise!" Crash said as he got out cereal.

"Hey, is your name Brio?" Cortex said to a bald kid with a tall head and two little metal bars coming out of it.

"Yes, and judging by your appearance, your Cortex!"

"How did you know?" Cortex asked hoping he couldn't read minds!

"Some guy named N. Gin told me all about you! Look! I even got you these yellow latex gloves!" Brio said as he handed Cortex two rubber gloves.

"Err, yes, um, thanks." Cortex said as he put them on.

"Well, do you kind of want to be-"Cortex said, but Brio started talking.

"Friends? Why sure!"

"That's it! He can defiantly read minds!" Cortex thought to himself.

"N. Gin told me all about how you want to be friends and some day rule the world! That sounds fun!" Brio said as he went to hug Cortex, but a potion fell out. It fell on the red and blue floor, and a black hole appeared!

"Wow! With you, and those potions, you're unstoppable!" Cortex said as his books flew into the black hole.

"Yeah, but I don't use them to torture people."

"That's nice, BUT FIND A WAY TO GET RID OF THIS!" Cortex yelled, as the black hole got bigger and started sucking him in.

"You think Black hole removal would work?" Brio asked unsure about what to use.

"Yes of course! DUH!" Cortex said as his bottom half of his body got sucked in.

"OK!" Brio said as he dropped a little bit of the potion into the hole.

"Give me your hand!" Brio called to Cortex. Cortex held his hand out and closed his eyes, hoping Brio would save him. Brio lifted him out of the hole right before it disappeared!

"YOU SAVED MY LIFE!" Cortex said as he hugged him.

"Well, hehehe, what are friends for?" Brio said as his left eye twitched.

"You know, I was going to use you to build me a machine, then I would tell you I was using you, and then throw you out into space to die! But, now I really want to be friends." Cortex said with his hands behind his back. (He had his fingers crossed!)

"REALLY?!" Brio said shocked.

"That was before you saved me, now I really want to be friends!" Cortex said as he held his hands out for a hug. Brio gave him a hug, while Cortex grinned behind his neck while they were hugging.

"Lets see, this present is from Koala. ITS SUNGLASSES! COOL!" Crash said as he put the sunglasses on, the Bandicoots were watching the videotape from Crash's Birthday Party.

"Mom, will we ever get separated?" Crash asked at lunch.

"What made you think of that?" Lillie asked her son in concern.

"I just have the weirdest feeling that someday, a crazy guy in latex gloves, is going to capture me, and get a load of this, I'm going to always foil his plans! Since he is an evil mad scientist!" Crash said as he shivered. [ ;) ]

{Getting better? Don't worry, Coco will be born next year (chapter) and Cortex will graduate from collage.}
