Tony and I let out an uncomfortable laugh.

Kathy came over to us "Hey Dana can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure" I said and we walked a few feet away from the crowd

"Since all of the boys are doing so great I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my house tomorrow. The rest of the girls are going to be there, we were thinking of throwing them our own little party. Minus all the smoke" she said as a huge puff of smoke filled her lungs which made her cough "And we might try our hand at making our own cake"

"Ok I'm in, just one question"

"What?"

"You do have a fire extinguisher right?" I asked teasingly

"Two of them actually, after the incident last year when I burned a piece of toast dad thought we needed an extra one" she had a serious look on her face which diminished when she saw the shocked look on my face and started laughing "Yea we have one, so come over tomorrow around twelve?" Sid waved his hands in the air signaling for all the other people living in the house to meet him at the front door "Well mister mom wants to leave so I'll see you then"

"Alright later Dee" she said before walking back to her boyfriend

"Come on Jay we have to go"

"I'll be right there" he said before Dawn and him shared a quick, more like two minute, good night kiss

"Like watch where you're going" a girl said when she bumped into me

"Who invited this valley girl?" I asked looking over the snob; she had shoulder length brown hair and a permanent scowl on her face

"I did" Dave (A/N: Oh I had to guys lol) he said with a cocky smirk

"Perfect match" I said with a fake smile "Nice to see you again Dave" another fake smile and an overly cheery voice

"Same here" Ryan saw Dave and gave him a small smile, it seemed that Ryan and him had become friends again
"How's it going Ryan?" Dave asked

"Not too bad, so who's the girl?"

"This is Andrea my girlfriend" he said putting an arm over her shoulder (A/N: Oi Andrea you wanted to be in my story so here you go!)

"Nice to meet you" Ryan said pleasantly

"Yea whatever, so what do you like have to eat around here?" she looked around the shop disapprovingly. I didn't hear anymore, and believe me I didn't want to, because Jay had finally joined Sid and me.

"So you and Dawn were finally able to separate?" I asked Jay

"Yea, hey we aren't joined at the hip"

"I know you aren't. It's more like attached at the mouth" Sid laughed a little and so did Jay. That was what was great about him, he could take a joke. We all had left our skateboards outside hidden underneath the bus stop bench so no one would steal them. Sid had finally got the hand at skating. Well he knew the basics; I can't say the same thing about anything else. When we got back home Jay and Sid made there way towards the fridge

"Yes mom's infamous meatloaf" Sid said taking out a plastic tub filled to the top with cut up pieces of mom's meatloaf. Jay brought over two plates and they both dumped an even amount of the leftover meatloaf onto their plates before eating.

"Thanks for leaving some for me" I gave them a disgusted look "Aren't you going to heat it up at least?"

"No it tastes better cold" Jay said before taking another bite (A/N: I'm so like Jay, I rarely heat up leftovers)

"Whatever" I pulled out some broccoli and sat down at the counter with them. I gave both of them a pitiful look.

"Fine" Jay rolled his eyes and gave me some of his meatloaf

"I love you big bro" I said in a sweet tone

"Ugh why does that always get me?" he asked himself and gave me some of his meatloaf

"Thanks boys" I said and walked up to my room with the plate of leftovers in my hand. I put the plate on my desk and turned on the radio "I love this song" I stated to myself when the beating of Iron Man by Black Sabbath filled the speakers "I am Iron Man" I said trying to sound like the robot at the beginning and started to dance around the room when the guitar kicked in singing along with the song into my broccoli. Laughing at the way I looked I sat down at the desk tapping the beat to the song while I finished off my very late dinner. I woke up the next morning to someone bouncing on my bed. I mumbled something and heard a boy laugh

"What did you say?" it was Sid. I knew where his body was and kicked him off my bed "Good morning to you too" he said sarcastically. I just gave him a fake smile

"What are you doing in my room at" I looked over at my clock "eight in the morning?"

"Kathy's on the phone"

"Oh" I was more awake now "Alright I'll be down in a second" he took that as a hint to leave and luckily he did. I got out of bed stretching as I did and walked downstairs to the kitchen where the phone was located "Hello?"

"Hey Dee it's Kathy, sorry for calling so early"

"No it's fine"

"Good because I have something to tell you"

"What's that?"

"I completely forgot that it was Tony's birthday today, good thing we were planning on throwing a party"

"Wow I forgot too" now Tony was officially going to be a year older then me again

"You think you could ask Jay and Sid to keep him busy for the day?"

"Sure, what about Stacy"

"I already asked him; just tell Jay and Sid to meet Stacy at his job at around ten"

"Sounds good"

"Great, thanks so much"

"So what time should I come over to help start the party?"

"How about around ten thirty?"

"Ok I'll see you then"

"Bye" I hung up and walked back upstairs. Jay had just come out of the bathroom

"Hey you think you and Sid could keep Tony busy today?"

"Um, why?"

"I guess everyone forgot"

"Forgot what?"

"It's Tony's birthday today"

"Shit, I didn't get him anything"
"Don't worry about it, the girls and I are going to set up a party for him"

"Two parties in a row, sweet"

"No alcohol tonight"

"Why not?" Jay said in a slightly whiney voice

"I would like Tony to remember his birthday"

"Fine"

"Great bring Sid with you to Stacy's job at around ten. Tony should be meeting you there"

"There's going to be cake right?"

"Yup homemade"

"I think I'll go buy a cake" that deserved a punch to the arm

"Hey girl" Kathy greeted me

"Hey Kath, are Ellie and Amy here yet?" I asked as I walked into her house

"Yea they're in the kitchen looking through my grandma's ancient cookbook"

"So Tony fell for the whole thing?" I asked as we both walked into the kitchen

"Completely" she said laughing a little

"Awesome" I looked to my right to see Ellie and Amy hunched over the cookbook fighting over what cake we would make

"I like that one" Ellie pointed to a triple layered cake with strawberries

"We're sticking to one layer guys" Kathy said

"Well Tony like's chocolate so why don't we just make him a chocolate cake" I shrugged

"Sounds good to me" Kathy must have known how to make a chocolate cake because she was already looking through the cabinets and her refrigerator for the ingredients. "Guys turn the TV up I love this song" Kathy said while getting out a bowl. I reached over and turned it up almost all the way.

"Half breed that's all I ever heard. Half breed how I learned to hate the word" Ellie and Amy started to sing laughing while they did

I just looked at them shaking my head "Are you sure we're all the same age?"

"Shut up" Ellie and Amy said teasingly but laughed when they realized they had said it together

"I think you guys need to loosen those curlers" I teased and threw some flour at them

"Hey" Ellie picked up a handful and threw it at me. That started an all out flour fight, after three minutes we were all warn out and we finally looked at our floured surroundings

"Oh crap we have to clean this up before my dad gets home" Kathy said coughing on some flour that had managed to get into her lungs

"Don't worry we'll clean it up" Amy said innocently

Cher's song had just finished and Kathy turned back to us "That video just gave me a great idea" she stated. Twenty minutes later we all came out of separate rooms after changing out of our flour impacted clothes. Kathy had given all of us some of her clothes that seemed to fit her idea "Now we just need feathers"

"Why are you guys so eager to go back to my house?" Tony asked as his friends dragged him down the street

"We're late" Stacy said and Tony looked at him confused

"Late for what?" he asked when they had finally reached the front door. Jay ripped open the door "Why are the lights o-"

"Surprise!" everyone yelled

All of us girls were still in the kitchen waiting for the excitement in the living room to settle down. Once it got a little quieter we opened the door and lifted the cake out with candles lit.

"Half breed that's all I ever heard. Half breed how I learned to hate the word. Happy 17th birthday" ok so the end wasn't exactly in the song but it fit

"Wow Tony there's a bunch of Indians in your house" Jay teased. We were all dressed up in funky looking tops and pants with a feather sticking out of our hair.

"Well are you just going to stand there? Come on wax is going to get all over the cake" Kathy said and we held up the cake a little higher for him to see it

"No way you guys made this" Tony said looking at it then back at all of us

"Yup we did now hurry up" Amy spoke up

"Don't forget to make a wish first" I said as he was about to blow out the candles. He closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them and blowing out the 17 candles placed randomly on the chocolate cake.

Yea it was kind of a random chapter but I had some writers block. Only a few more weeks of Summer Vacation left for me! Then I'll be a Senior in High School, YES!
