Visitors From Satu! Jade's Birthday
There came a knock on Amber's bedroom door.
"Come in!" Amber called.
James entered Amber's bedroom with Amy, Marie, Timothy, Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia at his side.
They were all in formal attire.
"Amber, are you all ready to go to the embassy for Jade's birthday party?" James asked.
"Lucinda is already outside, she is waiting for the rest of us." Amy told Amber.
"You can bet I'm ready!" Amber exclaimed.
"Dorrie, Candice, Lucinda, and I won't be going to the embassy by flying coach," Sofia said. "we will be taking our brooms, just a heads up."
"Sounds good, Sofia." James said.
Over at the embassy, Jade was in her closet looking for a suitable gown to wear to her birthday party.
"Oh," Jade groaned irritably, looking at the pink gown with long sleeves and puffy shoulders that Lacey tried to make her wear on the day she was to stay with Ruby and her mother. "I don't even know why I even have this gown!"
Suddenly, Liang came into his daughter's bedroom.
"Jade," Liang called. "are you dressed for your party yet?"
"Hái méiyǒu, Bàba, wǒ hái zài wèi wǒ de pàiduì tiāoxuǎn yī jiàn lǐfú," Jade said in Chinese before translating. "not yet, Dad, I'm still picking out a gown for my party."
"Well, hurry," Liang called back to Jade. "we brought two surprise guests with us from Satu."
"I'll be down in the parlor shortly." Jade called.
When she arrived in the parlor, Jade was wearing the pink gown with long sleeves and puffy shoulders.
"Jade, you look wonderful tonight!" Emma exclaimed.
"Thank you, Mom." Jade said.
"Surprise, Jade!" Soji exclaimed.
"Happy birthday, Jade!" Toshi exclaimed.
"Uncle Toshi! Uncle Soji! Wow," Jade exclaimed. "what a surprise!"
"And, it's not over yet," Soji said Jade. "give Jade her birthday present from us and Scarlett, Toshi."
Toshi handed Jade the Amulet of Satu.
"It's... wow! It's beautiful!" Jade exclaimed, putting the amulet around her neck.
"It's a very special amulet," Toshi explained to Jade. "so, you must promise Uncle Soji and me that you will never take it off."
"That way you'll never lose it." Soji added.
"I promise." Jade said to her uncles.
Soon enough, all the rest of Jade's friends were at her birthday party.
Outside the Embassy of Satu, some horse wranglers had captured a wild winged stallion.
The stallion's body and wings were silver and his mane and tail were midnight black.
The stallion tried to break free from the ropes but it was no use.
