As everyone burst through the door, the scene play out as follows: Feferi Peixes and Eridan Ampora were the first through, closely followed by Sollux Captor, being pulled by Feferi. Right after Sollux, by the hand, was Aradia Megido, who was quickly followed by Equius Zahhak, who had a Nepeta Leijon hat. Being walked (yanked) by Vriska Serket was Tavros Nitram. After everyone had tumbled through and fallen on top of each other, in strolled Terezi Pyrope, stepping over everyone.
"Hehehe. Do I smell a shame pile? Because you are all EMBARASSING."
"Oh, shut up, Pyrope! Also, how the hell did the blind girl not trip over all the casualties?" John burst out laughing at all his friends. Everyone looked up at him, a mix of happiness to pissed faces ranged across the pile. John laughed for a solid minute. By the time he ran out of breath, Jade and Dave had come downstairs and some people had extracted themselves from the pile. Kanaya had walked Rose to the sofa. Feferi came bounding up to John, followed by a swaggering Vriska and a little cat girl.
"What are we doing tonight," they all chorused. John giggled again and went back to baking.
"Well, first I thought that we could watch some movies until the pizza gets here. Then, we could eat and play a few games, maybe have a drink. Dave bought beers for us and a bottle of red wine for the ladies." All three girls made faces at the mention of red wine.
"It's not for you three. It's for Rose and Jade and Kanaya." A chorus of oh's and off they went. Aradia came up, but before she could speak, John answered.
"Yes, we can watch Indiana Jones. Also, can you build us pillow forts?" Aradia smiled and went to tell Sollux. John sighed at his group of friends. It was much better than his old life; back then, he was friendless and barely had a reason to live. But then, he moved here and found his life had gotten infinitely better. Why am I thinking of this now, anyway. Oh, well, no time to dwell on the past. I have to get this in the oven, he thought, looking at the colourful batter in his hands. After filling the tin and putting the batter in the oven, John went to see if his friends were having issues with the DVD player. He hadn't heard any movies starting, or any arguments over movie choice. He walked in and flicked the light on. Immediately, he was ambushed by fifteen people all shouting "Surprise". John was swallowed up by a cyclone of streamers, party favours, and people. After a few minutes of hugging, John extracted himself from the group.
"Guys! What's going on?"
"It's the anniversary, stupid," Jade said, giggling. John gave her a questioning look. She rolled her eyes at her step-brother.
"The anniversary of your finished therapy!" John smacked himself on the head, shocked. That was a stressful three years. The end of my suicide therapy. How could I forget?
