Birthday Surprises

"It's perfect! I love it!" exclaimed Erica. "I know honey. It's a lovely place and we loved living here", replied Monica, getting excited at the thought of her daughter living in the same apartment, where she had spent her first few days, "And it's a lot bigger now."

"Yeah" said Ed, their estate agent, "According to dad, there were 6 apartments on each floor and no lifts. Then someone from the 3rd floor advised the owner to demolish the buildings. After that they got lifts and instead of keeping 6, they kept 2 apartments on a floor. So now you have 5 bedrooms, 3 with attached bathrooms and 2 with walk-in closets, a hot tub plus a gigantic sized kitchen, balcony and living room."

"Man! What was it like to live in a house that had only 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms?" asked Erica in astonishment.

"Actually honey, 2 bedrooms, not 3 and 1 bathroom, not 2", said Monica.

"Gosh! How did you guys ever manage?"

"We were used to it but then you and Jack came along and we wanted a bigger place for you kids. Even you and Jack would have managed if you weren't brought up so lavishly", replied Monica, "So do you want it?"

"Absolutely!" shouted Erica in delight. Monica looked at Ed and nodded.

"Here are the papers", he passed the papers to Monica and then to a confused Erica, he said "Mrs. Geller told me to keep the papers ready. She said she knew you would love it"

"Well she was right", she smiled and then hugging her mom, she said "Thanks mom, this has been the best birthday gift ever"

"It has hasn't it?" came Jack's voice.

"What do you mean?" asked Erica

"Hey dude", said Jack, "Well it's not only your birthday. Mom and Dad got me the house right across the hall a week ago."

"Oh my God. He was the neighbor who I was getting excited to meet?!" said Erica, to which they all laughed

"Surprise!" shouted a ton of people. It was Amanda's 16th birthday and it was her best one ever. The guy she had been crushin' on since almost a year asked her out early in the morning and her parents had been showering her with gifts. First she got the latest Sony VAIO laptop, a 9 carat diamond ring from Gucci, clothes worth 100,000$ from an assortment of brands, a shiny black BMW and now a huge surprise party with not only all her celebrity and school friends, but also all her celebrity friends' parents. It was like a dream come true for her.

She was so shocked to see the crowd that after 3 minutes of complete silence, she creamed as if she had got the most precious diamond in the world.

"OMG Amanda! This is the best party ever" said Rebecca, who happened to be her dad favorite co-start daughter and her best friend since kindergarten.

"I know" she replied, "And I had no idea that mo and dad had been planning this all along"

"Well they weren't" said Ashley, "This is your birthday gift from mom, Emma, Zack and me"

"Oh my God. You didn't need to give me any" she said hugging her.

"Well too late for that isn't it?" she teased her. "Anyways we totally did. I mean Emma isn't here and we all know that she's your favorite so she had to do something for you! And anyways we aren't done yet. There's another surprise from mom and partly from me. Come with me. You to Bec"

She took Amanda's hand and took her upto her old tree house. "Well?"

"Umm…..?" they both they said, clearly missing the point.

"Guys, open the door!" said Ashley, surprised at their dumbness. But just as they were opening the door she stopped them and said "Wait let me get a camera. This look is one Emma wouldn't want to miss."

Rebecca and Amanda waited for 5 minutes and then Ashley came back and led them into the tree house and then a second later, everyone at the party was distracted by 2 very loud shrieks.
