Let me know how I go and if you want more. I open to any and all suggestions!

I don't own any rights to VA or its characters!

"Christian where the hell are u taking me?" Rose demanded as Christian dragged her off to gods knows here.

"Patience Rosie. You'll find out soon enough," he laughed, glad she was blind folded so she couldn't hit him. Instead she dug the nails of the arm he wasn't holding into his arm.

"Darn that hurt Rosie!"

She growled. "Stop calling me Rosie."

"Not until you stop calling me Pyro."

"Not going to happen Pyro."

They continued walking, Rose praying that Christian didn't run her into a tree or something, which she wouldn't put past him if he thought he would get away with it. Hell she would do it to him if she could get away with it.

Soon they stopped and Christian dropped her arm.

"Don't hit me," he said softly, moving to stand behind her and he took off the blindfold, and moved away.

To Rose's surprise Eddie, Mia, Lissa, Dimitri, Jill, Adrian, Sydney, Alberta, Abe and her mum where all standing in front of her.

"What's going on?" she demanded, not liking the look they all had in their eyes.

They all grinned and stepped aside, revealing a few tables full of food, drinks and of course presents.

"Wh-what is all of this?" Rose asked, stunned.

"Well Mia, Christian and I were having lunch together, the day you, Eddie and Dimitri went out to go talk to a nearby academy and we all said how sad it was that you never got a eighteenth birthday party. We had planned one for that night, but it never worked out," Lissa looked away then, remembering when Rose left.

"So Christian said that we should have a small one now, with just all of us and we can give you the presents that we all had brought you and that we hoped to give you one day," Mia continued.

Rose looked over at Christian then who just shrugged. "Hey you know I can be nice occasionally."

"Yeah but we are only nice to each other once a year," she grinned at him, causing him to smirk back at her while everyone else laughed.

"Present time," Lissa said, clapping her hands, sharing a crazy smile with Mia and Jill.

From Eddie Rose received a cool silver dagger that had been charmed similar to a stake so she could kill strigoi with it, or save a strigoi if Lissa, Adrian or Sonya used it.

Mia and Jill got her kick arse black leather boots with the heels made of silver, a black leather jacket with the Dragomir dragon stitched on the sleeves in red and around the collar in red as well so she could wear it on duty in the colder months.

Adrian and Sydney gave her a picture frame with a picture of all of them from Christian's birthday the month before, along with a picture of her with just each of her friends, She stopped when she saw the one of her and Mason at the slopes.

"Thank you," she said quietly staring at it. The one after was Eddie, Christian, Mason, Mia and her at the spar, a picture she hadn't know was taken.

"How on earth did you get this picture?"

"I might have hacked into the retreat camera records a month or so ago and gotten this off it," Sydney said, blushing slightly.

Rose got up and hugged Sydney, Adrian, Eddie, Mia and Jill and sat down, as Dimitri handed her his present.

It was a silver ring that she put on her ring finger on her right hand. It was simple and plain but inside was engraved for my Roza. Rose kissed him on the cheek.

Lissa gave Rose her present which turned out to be a large picture frame to fit all the pictures Adrian and Sydney had given her. Along the edges all of them, along with Sonya and Mikhail had written small messages for her. She knew that Sonya and Dimitri would have had to add theirs in the last few months but it didn't make it any less special to her.

Alberta, along with Mikhail and Sonya, gave her a series of books on self-defence, different styles of fighting and animal behaviour, knowing that she was into reading all that stuff.

Abe and her mother gave her a silver necklace with a miniature stake handing off it.

"So Pyro am I not good enough to get a gift from the legendry Christian Ozera?" She asked, mimicking what he asked her at his birthday party.

"Of course not Rosie. Hell you're not even good enough to deserve to be in my presence," he replied, mimicking her.

He handed her two presents. "Open the red one first," he said, taking a step back.

Suspicious she opened it to find three children's cooking book, cooking for dummies and children cooking utensils.

Rose grinned at him evilly. "Pyro remember the kitchen we share?"

He just grinned back at her. "Hey I'm Pyro remember. I'm sure I can handle whatever fire you start with your cooking," he replied.

She rolled her eyes at him and opened the other present and just stared at it in shock. It was a silver stake engraved with everyone she loved names, and their relationship to her. So Lissa, Mia, Sydney and Jill were her sisters, Eddie, Mason and Christian were her brothers, Adrian was her pain in the arse, Alberta was her favourite mentor, Dimitri was hers, Abe and Janie were her parents, Mikhail was her confidante and Sonya was her favourite teacher.

"I figured that you would want a new stake because I know how uncomfortable you are with the one you have now, seeing as what it was used for," they all flinched then, especially Adrian, Rose, Dimitri and Christian. "So I thought I'd get you one that had a good meaning behind it, that wasn't tainted."

To everyone's surprise, except Christian's, Rose gave him a hug.

"Thank you my brother," she said softly enough that the sensitive Moroi ears in the room couldn't hear her.

"Anytime sis," he replied.

I always thought it was sad the Rose never got her party, or that her friends never got to celebrate this special event with her. I always thought they would have had to get her a present and had something planned. I thought it should be Christian who had the idea for this because the others wouldn't be sure if Rose would like this, but Christian and Rose are so alike that he would know that she need this, need her family.
