Birthday Bash!
Chapter 5
Previously...
He ran in and slammed the door shut and found that the lights were turned off inside and he began to worry, "PIPPO, POPPO, QUPPO!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone came up from behind him and blindfolded him, "aahh!" he felt his body being lifted and taken somewhere and was sat down into a chair. The blindfold was suddenly removed, "SURPRISE!!!" everyone yelled.
Jay was shocked, he was wide-eyed and his mouth hung open, "wh...what? What's going on?"
The three Oresoren brothers came into the house, "it's your birthday, remember?"
Jay was even more surprised at this, "you remembered my birthday?"
"Of course!" the Oresorens were shocked, "you didn't think we'd forget did you?"
"Well, it's just...even I didn't remember my own birthday!" Jay scratched the back of his head.
"BOO!" a voice came from behind Jay, and he screamed, "AAHHH!" and fell out of the chair. He glared at the thing that was behind him and found that they were clowns again, "AAHH! THEY'RE BACK AGAIN!"
Suddenly, all of the clowns threw their masks off and Jay saw that they were all his friends, "wha..? What are you guys doing here?"
"Duh, we're here for the party, JJ!" Norma rolled her eyes. "Why'd you think that Red would go get you anyway?"
"..." Jay was still too shocked to think of anything to say back.
"Haha! You shoulda seen yerself!" Moses said busting his guts from laughing. "Runnin' from scary clowns were ya?"
"Tha… that was you?" Jay blushed madly at this, the stupid bandit had seen him running around the village from the clowns.
"Nah, that was Senel, Will, Chloe and Shirley!" Moses wiped tears from his eyes. "Man, I knew you could run fast but didn't think that fast!"
"You stu… oh never mind," Jay shook his head in defeat. "What are you all doing here anyway? And what do you mean 'surprise'?"
"Oh that, you'll see," Senel pulled Jay to his feet. "Come on, hurry up!"
"YEAH!" everyone cheered, "wha..?" Senel pulled Jay's arm and took him outside.
The group with Senel leading them, left the house to the splendours that awaited them outside, while they were stalling Jay by having this conversation, the other Oresorens were preparing the outside by pulling everything back out from where they had hid everything while Jay made his way to his house.
Jay's eyes had widened at the sight that beheld him, the usually dark cave was transformed into a whole different world filled with lights and beautiful decorations prepared for just this occasion, his birthday. Decorations hung from everywhere, houses, lamp posts, the ceiling(?!), and even on some of the Oresorens that got tangled in the pretty colored paper and glitters! He was nearly brought to tears at the work and effort that his friends and family had put into for him, but since Moses was there, he showed none, but nonetheless he was still amazed at everything.
"You guys did this all for me?" Jay gawked at the cave.
"Yup, we sure did," Moses gave him a goofy grin. "So you better enjoy yourself!"
Jay returned his grin with a rare smile, "I will," he promised himself that he'd have to do something for everyone on their birthdays.
"We wanted to help in giving you a great surprise party," Chloe explained.
Jay gave another look around and saw that there were many other people that he recognized from Werites Beacon, including Madame Musette and the Bantam Bouncers.
"Happy Birthday, Jay," Madame Musette greeted Jay. "I take it that you are turning 17 now?"
Jay looked up at her in surprise, "how did you know?"
"I know many things that most people, save you, don't know," she gave a sort of mysterious grin that sent shivers down some of their backs and walked off back to the festivities.
"That was… kind of creepy…" Senel shook that feeling away.
"I invited everyone from Werites Beacon to your party," Will grinned. "These kinds of celebrations are always better when you have a lot of people."
Jay nodded in agreement, "yes, that is true."
"Are y'all done with your talking? 'Cause I wanna get in on the fun, too!" Moses was itching to party.
"Yes, let us join them," everyone nodded eagerly and walked through the village in their group. They all began to point out to Jay what they did and he would smile and acknowledged them for their work. After the grand tour of the Oresoren Village, they Fun Bunch decided upon having some food for themselves as well, and to their surprise, the Oresorens actually made food besides the seafood they were accustomed to eating.
"Hey! This stuff is actually good!" Norma had taken a bite out of something that looked rather disgusting. "So, what is it?" she asked Pippo.
"Umm, Norma," Jay started as he looked down in disgust at what she was eating. "I've eaten quite a bit of seafood in my life, but I am quite sure that you're not supposed to eat that… it's the internal organs of the fish…"
"Huh…?" Norma looked down at the thing she had on her plate.
"Bubbles, that's FISH GUTS!" Moses laughed maniacally.
Norma turned a strange shade of blue, green and red, "eww! Tha…that's disgusting!" She suddenly felt a churning in her stomach and ran for the little girl's room, "did she say that stuff tasted… 'good'?" Senel sweat dropped as they all stared after the girl.
The rest of the gang went around eating normal foods that were easily recognizable, not wanting to end up like Norma, who was still feeling sick. The Scallop Brothers suddenly called everyone to gather around the village center, "IT'S TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT! PLEASE GATHER HERE!"
The brothers called Chloe over, "AND NOW, WE PRESENT TO YOU, OUR SUPER-DUPER DOUBLE LAYERD CHOCOLATE BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!"
To everyone's amazement, the cake that Chloe was helping to make was at least at the height of Moses, Senel and Will standing on each other's shoulders, and most definitely the grandest looking cake that anyone had ever seen! How the little otters put the cake together, will remain a mystery, but they had done it and that was all they needed to know at the time.
The three little otters pushed Jay up the stairs that had been prepared to go to the top, "alright Jay! You have to blow the candles out but first..."
Quppo took over, "SING FOR US BABY! THE BIRTHDAY SONG!"
Suddenly, a strange beat took over, and the Bouncers appeared, "did someone say, SING!" and everyone started singing.
"Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Jay!
Happy Birthday to you!"
The song ended and Jay stared into the little flames dancing happily almost as if to wish him a happy birthday as well.
"Don't ferget to make a wish!" Moses yelled out.
"I've already had my wish made true," Jay smiled to himself, he took in a deep breath and blew out all the candles that stood on the incredibly tall cake. Everyone cheered, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAY!!!"
He blew out all 17 candles and the spectators cheered once again, except for Moses who frowned, "You blew all of them out?!"
Jay was now confused, "was I not supposed to? Besides, you're the one that told me to."
"NOW YER GONNA BE A WOMANLESS GUY, AGAIN!" Moses yelled out.
"Wh…what is that supposed to mean?" Jay was taken aback.
Moses sighed and shook his head, "you ain't got a clue, do you? You gotta leave a few candles to get a girlfriend, ya know?"
"I don't need one," Jay grinned. "Besides, I've already got what I've always ever wanted, a family and a group of great friends."
Everyone stared at him, then smiled, "happy Birthday, Jay."
Moses remembered the gift that he had gotten for him, "oh, yea, here Jay, I got this for you."
He handed Jay a nicely wrapped box with a single bow on top, "wh... what's this," Jay eyed the box suspiciously.
"It's a birthday present, you dope," Moses grinned. "Ever got one of 'em before?"
Jay was surprised yet felt reluctant on receiving the gift, "umm, not that I remember, no."
Moses was now shocked, as well as everyone else in the group, at how little his little brother knew about birthdays and turned to the Oresorens, "You've never given a gift to Jay on his birthday?!"
The Oresorens just cocked their heads to the side with a HUGE question mark over there heads, "are you supposed to give gifts on birthdays????"
Moses was wide eyed, "course you are! Oh, never mind, well this is how it's done." He placed his gift in Jay's arms, "well, what are ya waitin' for? Open up!"
Jay, who had never received a birthday present before, felt happy and even a bit excited on opening and see what was inside of the mysterious box, though he hid it from the stupid bandit. He took the bow off carefully and placed it on one of the Oresoren's head, then carefully undid the tape on the bottom of the gift and revealed a small cardboard box. He slowly opened the box and gasped as he pulled out a beautifully decorated dagger, he instantly knew it was crafted by an Oresoren because of the shell shaped guard.
"Moses, it's… it's beautiful," Jay's eyes sparkled as he marvelled over the dagger.
"Haha! Ya like it? Took me all day lookin' for the material, ya know?" Moses grinned at him proudly.
"Yo… you made this?!" Jay's was surprised but it soon turned to a great big smile. "Thank you," Jay said quietly.
"What?" Moses asked.
"I said, thank you!" Jay said louder but still happily.
"Aww, anythin' for my little bro!" The next few seconds was the most shocking thing that had ever happened in the world, besides the cataclysm that did not, but was about to occur. Jay had walked up to Moses, and gave him a hug, an actual hug!
"Ja… Jay?!" "JJ?!" Everyone stared at him in shock; the one thing that they thought would never happen as long as they lived. There were many other shocked gasps from down below, but the Oresorens just smiled because they knew that Jay never really hated Moses at all.
"Aww, how cute," Grune clasped her hands together beside her cheek as she smiled.
Jay quickly let Moses go, blushing as he looked up at his stunned face, "…Oh yea! I got my brother's love!" Moses was also blushing and gave them all a huge grin, that they mostly only saw when he was with Giet.
"That was just a one time thing!" Jay turned away still blushing but smiling.
"Aww, c'mon! Just one more?" Moses asked.
"NO!"
And so ended Jay's 17th birthday, with many people having stomach aches the next day because of all the food they ate the day before, or could they have eaten something similar to Norma? Nobody knows and probably rather not know at all, until next year!
