Chapter 3: Sweet 18
Cody and Lani arrived in North Beach and she turned to Cody and said, "Meet me in my lifeguard station in 2 minutes."
Understanding her question, he said, "Okay."
She ran off towards the beach and sees the other penguins hiding across the island. She heard a whisper coming from behind and saw Z in front of the tree. She saw her uncle and said, "Is he coming?"
"He's coming in my lifeguard station in a little bit." said Lani.
Cody walked across the beach and calls for Lani. He said to himself, "What is happening here?"
As a surprise, the candles flashed and he arrived in Lani's station and when she popped in, she thrown in a little note that said, "Turn around and be surprised."
He turned around and the penguins popped out of nowhere and said, "Surprise!" Cody felt a little shock and felt a little surprised when he saw his friends alongside him. They came up to Cody and sang 'happy birthday' to Cody. Z brought in a fish cake that said, '18'. Z said, "Make a wish and blow out the candles."
Cody closed his eyes and thinks about his wish for 3 seconds, then opened them and blew out all the candles. Everyone cheered and Lani said, "What did you wish for?"
Cody sighed and said, "I have everything I need here. Living the dream and have friends around me like family. It's awesome that I have that special feeling I have since I've been here. So, I'd like to thank you all for keeping me here and making this the best summer of my life."
Everyone cheered and clapped and said, "Happy 18th birthday, Cody Maverick!"
The gang brought in a little present for Cody; an awesome song dedicated to him. Rory Nubbins, Tatushi Kobayashi, Lani and Joe arranged the song for Cody. As they went towards the beach, Lani said, "We would like to dedicate this song for Cody Maverick because he's an awesome dude with a whole lot of spirit and dedication. This for you."
The song began and they came towards the stage and dediticated it to Cody :
Into your head
Into your mind
Out of your soul
Race through your viens
You can't escape
You can't escape
Into your life
Into your dreams
Out of the dark
Sunlight again
You can't explain
You can't explain
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Rushin' through your head
Rushin' through your head
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Don't let anyone tell you
That your life is over
Be every color that you are
Into the rush now
You don't have to know how
Know it all before you try
Holding you in
Standing you around
Liftin' your feet
Right off the ground
You can't believe it's happening now
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Rushin' through your head
Rushin' through your head
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Don't let nobody tell you
That your life is over
Be every color that you are
Into the rush now
You don't have to know how
Know it all before you try
It takes you to another place
Imagine everything you can
All the colors start to blend
Your system overloads again
Can you feel it?
Don't let nobody tell you
That your life is over
Be every color that you are
Into the rush now
You don't have to know how
Know it all before you try
Don't let nobody tell you
Don't let nobody tell you
Don't let nobody tell you
That your life is over
Be every color that you are
Get into the rush now
You don't have to know how
Know it all before you try
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
As the song ended, the penguins cheered and applauded and in love with that song. Lani took a bow and the others followed. They all stared at Cody and winked at him. Z came up to the stage and said, "Thank you very much. As we look on this experience we shared with Cody's experience that embraced us and brung this kid in our lives, we look back on the first time we met him, we knew he would be the one who's dream, determination and awesome personality has made Pen Gu feel special. Happy birthday, Cody Maverick. May your 18th birthday, be surrounded by good friends who are like family."
Cody came towards the stage and said, "Thanks, Z. This is definitely the birthday I would remember for the rest of my life."
