Chapter 8

"Souji…Souji…WAKE UP!! It's my birthday today." Nanako woke Souji up. Souji jumped out of bed to see Nanako giggling "It is finally here my birthday party is in a few hours come on you need to get dressed!"

Souji rubbed his face to try and waken himself up "Where is Dojima?" Souji asked with a yawn

"He had to go sort some things out before the party," Nanako looked around "He is getting my present." she whispered

Nanako ran out of the room laughing and smiling as Souji got washed and dressed for what was going to be a very hectic day. Souji went into Nanakos room where she sitting watching TV with her new dress on "Hey did you go in my bags?" Souji laughed

"Its beautiful Souji I love it and I couldn't wait for a couple of more hours." Nanako admitted

"It's ok Nanako it looks great on you" There was a chap at the door

"Room service!" Souji answered the door to find Yukiko standing in a chefs outfit holding a tray with eggs, toast, sausage….everything you could want for breakfast "Here you go you two are going to need to keep your strength up for the party." Yukiko smiled

"Thanks Yukiko." Souji was astonished

"Thanks Yuki!" Nanako shouted

"You're welcome, I will see you at the party" Yukiko shut the door and left to get things set up for the day ahead.

After breakfast Souji and Nanako headed for Junes where here friends were waiting for her. As they approached they all shouted happy birthday to Nanako and gave her, the presents. Nanako was really happy; her face was framing a big smile.

Dojima approached Nanako "Happy Birthday Nanako, this is for you, it belonged to your mother." Dojima handed Nanako a gold chain with a heart locket with a picture of her mother and herself inside

"Dad I love it, thank you" Nanako gave her dad a big hug when Soujis old friends arrived with presents

"Happy Birthday Nanako." they all sang. They handed Nanako their gifts and watched as her face lit up when she saw the great gifts.

Kanji had made her toys in the shape of herself, Souji and Dojima "So even if they are out of the house you can still feel together."

Naoto gave her a police badge "You can use it to get into the precinct to see your dad anytime."

Yosuke got her a Junes discount card "It is a lifetime card, you can use it to get 25% off anything in the shop."

Yukiko gave her reservation tickets to her restaurant "You can use them at any time to get anything you want and I may even let you help make it."

Chie gave her a brand new martial arts movie "This is for you young grasshopper." Nanako was delighted with all her presents

The rest of the party went by quite quick they spent their time socialising and eating the great food that Yukiko made.

"Chie how is it you know Nanako?" Kanji asked

"I teach her martial arts, we are going to do a performance at the party to show everyone the moves they have learned." Chie informed them.

"Chie. It's time for the performance!" Nanako shouted

"I don't have a partner though." Chie admitted

"Souji, you will do it wont you?" Nanako pleaded

"Yeah, sure." Souji agreed

Chie led Souji to the middle of the food court "Just do what comes natural and try and not get hit by me." Chie warned

"I think I will be fine." Souji grinned. Chie through a punch at Souji but Souji stepped out of the way and swept her.

"Beginners luck I bet." Chie was shocked. Chie did a head kick but Souji ducked and swept her again but this time they were face to face on the ground Chies face went red "Wow you are really good, you must have had a lot of fighting practice?" Chie admitted

"You have no idea how much." Souji laughed

Everyone was clapping when they stood back up, when they went back to the table Dojima was talking to Naoto "That's sounds like a good idea, Oh Souji, Naoto was just saying that you and the others should accompany Naoto to the Persona Paradise club it's the grand opening."

Souji nodded "Sounds good, what to you guys think?" Souji asked.

They all nodded and they headed into town to the club after saying goodbye to Nanako.
