"Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof," Lucas sang cheerfully. Tim looked at him, then laughed and clapped. "Hey thanks Tim!" Lucas interrupted his song to say. "Clap along if you know that happiness is the truth," Tim sang with him. They walked down the hall singing and clapping.
"What's the occasion?" Ben asked.
"We're happy!" they both sang.
"I'm always down for a celebration. What are we celebrating?"
"It's my birthday!" Lucas enthused.
"Hey! Happy Birthday, Lucas!" Ben and Tim both said.
"Thanks guys!" Lucas said, continuing down the hallway singing "Because I'm happy!"
He got back to his room and logged on to Facebook. He had "Happy Birthday" messages from most of his friends, and much of the seaQuest crew. He smiled and liked each message, replying back to those who asked him questions or made more personal comments. "100 birthday wishes, I'm a lucky guy" he posted on his own wall, which immediately started getting more likes and happy birthday messages posted to it. He vaguely wondered whether dolphins had any concept of birthdays, so he called Darwin on the vocorder. "Darwin, do dolphins have birthdays?" he asked.
"What is birthday?" Darwin asked.
"Like, the day you were born. Do you celebrate it every year?" Darwin looked at him curiously.
"Do you know how old you are Darwin?" Lucas asked.
"Darwin is not old. Darwin is new" came the answer. Lucas laughed. "I guess not," he said "We should give you a birthday."
"Darwin's birthday?" he asked.
"We can celebrate your birthday every year. I'll ask Captain Bridger when he found you, and then that will be your birthday," Lucas called up to the captain, who could only remember that it was sometime in April. "April fools it is, then" Lucas said laughing. "That's your birthday, Darwin, April 1st"
