Aright, here is chapter 13, a special chapter. Now I know your curious by the title. Well remember when I said my Ash ages, well he does, and from what I've heard from the creator. His birthday is May 22nd, and strangely he hasn't aged, so I took it upon myself to do that. So here we are, Ash's 16th birthday! I own nothing except my ideas and OC's.

Ash yawned as he woke up, Pikachu doing the same beside him. He looks over and saw his Pokegear ringing. "Why the sudden call"? Ash asks before picking it up. Ash answered and saw it was his Mom. "Oh, hi mom, how are things"? Ash asks. "Good honey, but I was wanting to wish you a Happy Birthday". Delia says while Ash spits the water he drank. "My Birthday"! Ash snaps, before checking the date. May 22, the day of his birth. "Don't tell me you forgot"? Delia asks. Ash chuckles. "I've been so busy, I forgot". Ash mutters before getting up. "Thanks Mom, I gotta go". Ash says while Delia nods. "Have fun". Delia says before it cuts off. Ash sighed and ran his hand through his hair, and yelped when Pikachu jumped on his shoulder and nuzzled his cheek. "Thanks buddy, its been a while since I really celebrated my birthday, lets head out okay"? Ash says while Pikachu nods. While Ash was getting ready, other forces were playing their cards.

Ozpin sipped his coffee while smirking, he knew it was Ash's birthday, and he needed the day off, so as his first 'present' he excused Ash from all classes for the day, he doesn't really need them anyway. He smirked again when Ash found out about it, and chuckled as Port himself gave him his own personal Happy Birthday...he never knew Port owned bagpipes. Ozpin watched as the other members of GRAY, having already knowing about it, tells the other teams and ran off, obviously to get something for their leader and brother.

Ash sighed, he couldn't find the others, he guessed they were out getting him something. It wasn't saying he didn't appreciate it, he does! He just has a hard time being the center of attention, ever since he became an Assassin, he never liked being center stage, and even after it still stuck. Ash decided to get something to eat, maybe it would take his mind off it. Ash sat down at the usual table, which was now barren of the others. Ash ate alongside Pikachu, who happily ate his apple. "You know Pikachu". Ash said before turning to Pikachu, who did the same. "You don't really have to get me anything today, you being here is enough". Ash says while Pikachu thinks it over before giving Ash a thumbs up, who smiled. "I guess Ozpin already took his turn at the gifts, I have no classes today, so how about we just stroll the town"? Ash asks. Pikachu nods before finishing up his apple. "Let's go". Ash said before walking off.

In Vale, the other teams were looking for gifts for Ash, each splitting up to get a separate selection. Yang looked around stuff for fighting equipment, given how Ash does enjoy the thrill of fighting, despite his wishes of it. Weiss, being who she is, went to go get hers in private. Blake went to go get a good book for him, since he has shown an interest in reading. Ruby however, was sitting on a bench, wondering what exactly she could get for him. Jaune went alongside Pyrrha to get a combined present, since Jaune doesn't know too much about Ash. Ren was patrolling some old scrolls, hoping to find one on Aura manipulation, to help Ash. Nora was...being herself, but she was looking for something. Coco was in a designer clothing store, saying Ash needs 'better tastes other than battle'. Yatsuhashi was in a sword smith, hoping to get something for Ash's sword, Fox was searching alongside Velvet, who was happily looking around at merchandise.

Ash was walking through Vale with Pikachu on his shoulder, he knew better than to go near the shopping district at this time. Ash found a park and decided to take a quick walk. Pikachu saw something and pulled Ash's hair, alerting him. Ash turned and saw a small circus act, which is pulling quite the crowd. Ash stepped forward and saw people pulling off acrobatic stunts, Ash smiled as children cheered for them, or cringed when the contortionist did something disturbing. Ash chuckled at their awe, finding it slightly amusing, though he shouldn't talk, he did the same years ago. Ash smiled and clapped when the act ended, before walking off as the crowd dispersed.

Ozpin sipped his coffee as the other teachers went to set up a classroom for Ash's party, he knew Ash wouldn't willingly ask for something like this, so he took it into his own hands. Ozpin saw the three other teams return, each with a present in their hands. Port came up to them and informed them of the party, which they went to. He wondered where Ash was, and saw him trail into the school and hour later. He smirked and got up, ready to enjoy the party, with Glynda trailing behind him with a sigh.

Ash walked through Beacon, sensing the others in a nearby classroom, presumably to surprise him. Ash sighed in slight sadness, he could no longer be surprised, even on his birthday. Ash walked in, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw what was in there. Everyone with presents, and a table with cake, which Nora was trying real hard to not eat. "Happy Birthday"! They all cheer. Ash smiled as Jaune and Neptune pulled him forward, Sun and Neptune having been told at a later time. "Well, I didn't expect this". Ash says with a chuckle. "Are you kidding? You deserve it"! Yang says while patting Ash on the back. Ash chuckles as they brought him to the table where the cake was. "Make a wish"! Ruby cheers. Ash looks down in thought before smiling and blowing it out. "Well"? Yang asks. Ash smirks. "Can't say". He mutters while Yang pouts.

Ash smiled as the others had fun, he looked and saw his brothers having a good time, Port busting out his bagpipes again, and Oobleck studying Pikachu. All in all, one of the best birthdays Ash has had. Ash looks up before smiling. "Happy Birthday...old friend". Ash mutters before going to have fun.

And there we go, with Ash's birthday out of the way. Yes, I will change Ash's age on my profile, I hope you enjoyed this. I know half of you may be wondering: What did they get him? That's really up to you now, I couldn't think up everything on the top of my head. R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
