Despicable Me 2
(Despicable Me Fan Fiction)
Chapter 8
It was an hour after the girls had finished their homework for school that day. Gru took Margo to the music store to hang out with her as his way to distract her from what was going to happen when they got back home. He had some people putting up all of the decorations, preparing the food, organizing the music selection and getting the cake and ice cream together. He couldn't believe that it was his daughter's birthday, and it kind of surprised him how fast she was growing up. He saw her one joining the ledge of heroes to take his place as second in command for Alice; he also knew that Margo had a thing for Shawn, and he could also tell that Shawn had a thing for Margo and would do anything in his power to protect her when he takes his father's place.
He watched in the music store as Margo mingled with middle school students her age. He had his phone in his hand waiting for that call to let them know when it was safe to take Margo home for the party.
Gru's cell phone finally rang and he went outside to answer.
"Hello, mom? How's everything going?" Gru asked her.
"We're done with everything, and the guest are here getting ready to hide before you and Margo come through the door." Marlena answered.
"Oh, we're on your way. We're only ten minutes away from the house." Gru said just before hanging out.
He and Margo got into the tank and drove straight home. After a ten minute drive Gru parked the tank in the driveway, and he and Margo got out and walked up to the front door.
"Did you have fun today?" Gru asked her.
Margo nodded with a smile. Gru opened the front door and they walked inside.
"How come all the lights are off?" Margo asked as she turned on the light switch to see.
Everyone jumped out and yelled surprise.
"Happy birthday." The minions said to her.
Margo was happy that everyone had come together and surprised her like this on her birthday. She started to wonder how they could've pulled this off without her even knowing.
Dave started playing the music outside and everyone went out into the backyard and danced to Dancing Crazy by Miranda Cosgrove along with other songs that were added to the party selection.
Dr. Nefario enjoyed himself while serving everyone their dinner plate. Margo was having a good time herself.
"Margo, great party." Shawn said to her with a smile.
"Thanks." Margo responded with a smile as she began to blush a little.
She and Shawn were the main ones dancing on the floor. Agnes and her friends were all dancing around like all little kids their age do at parties. Mean while Edith and her friends were running around and playing a game of tag.
Gru watched from the sidelines and talked with the other parents who were also watching.
"Gru, you guys really out did yourself." Glitch meant that in a good way.
"Thank you, Glitch; it's her first birthday with a real family that she's always wanted, so I wanted to make it big for her." Gru explained to her.
"Great party, Gru." Vanessa praised him.
"Thanks, sis." Gru responded.
"Oh, and yesterday Ramona and her husband went off on Justine like there was no tomorrow." Vanessa began to explain. "He was acting out in school like it was nobody's business."
"Oh, Agnes told me about that when she came home from school yesterday." Gru pointed out. "I asked her about her day, and that's what brought it up."
"Oh, okay." Vanessa responded.
Margo opened presents from everyone since they bugged her to open it right away so they could take a picture of her with it in her hands.
"Alright, Margo, this one's from your grandma." Marlena handed Margo a small green jewelry box with a bow on it.
Margo saw it and it was a necklace with her September birthstone.
"Do you like it?" Marlena asked her.
"I love it." Margo responded with a smile.
Marlena helped her put it on.
"Margo, this is for you." Jerry the minion called from behind her.
Margo turned around to see Jerry, Billy, Dave, Jim, Tim and Larry with a big box wrapped in pink wrapping paper. They gave it to Margo and watched as she opened it up so they could get a really good look at her facial expression.
Margo was glad to find a music set that consisted of a microphone with a stand to put it on and a headset. The microphone was green with real rime stones on, the stand for it was black, and the headset was pink with glitter on it.
"Aw, thanks you guys." Margo said to them with a smile. "I really love it." She added.
"Alright, everyone, my turn to give Margo her gift." Gru handed Margo box with a bow on it.
Margo opened it up to find a bracelet with the words Love Forever and Always, dad and family on the back. She loved it show much, and she gave Gru a big hug.
"Thank you, dad." Margo said to him.
"Your welcome, sweetie." Gru hugged her back.
After that everyone continued dancing to the music and burned off so much energy from moving around so much.
They called everyone together when it was time for cake and ice cream. Everyone grabbed their seats and enjoyed the marvel mixed chocolate and strawberry cake with a side of chocolate and strawberry ice cream. They enjoyed it and didn't say a word at all while they continued to eat it.
Agnes gave Margo a picture of Margo raiding a unicorn to the rainbow.
"Thanks, Agnes, I like it." Margo commented with a smile. "I'll put it up on the wall in my room when I go upstairs." She promised her.
Agnes smiled at her and was glad to hear that.
"Oh, Margo, before I forget." Edith pulled something out of her pocket that was placed in a small bag and gave it to Margo.
Margo opened it and found two backstage passes to see Miranda Cosgrove in her upcoming concert.
"I got them from the store while I was out with my friends." Edith explained to her with a smile.
"Thanks, Edith," Margo said with a smile as she placed the bag on the table.
While everyone was mingling and walking around Dr. Nefario was at the DJ booth with one of the minions. He took the mic as soon as the song was playing had came to an end.
"Alright, how is everyone feeling tonight?" Dr. Nefario asked them.
Everyone cheered and chanted away.
"Glad to see that everyone's having a rocking time out here tonight, as all of you young people may say." Dr. Nefario went on. "I just want to start off by saying happy birthday, Margo, and I hope you like this next song that's dedicated to you by request. It's Miranda Cosgrove's Shakespeare."
The minion played the song as everyone cheered and got up from their seats to go and danced the rest of the night away. The adults joined in with them and danced along to the song as well.
"Now you got to admit, Margo, this is an amazing party." Connie responded with a smile.
Margo was glad that everything was going great from start to finish.
As soon as the party was over everyone went home for the rest of the night. Gru and Marlena got the girls to bed for the evening.
Margo placed Agnes's picture on her closet door just before going to bed herself. She wondered which one of her friends requested the song for her, and the only person she could think of was Shawn. She went to sleep that night thinking about all of the fun she had tonight on her birthday, and it would be a birthday she would remember for the rest of her life as long as she lived. She wasn't going to let it pass her by, she wanted it to sink into her memory.
