Chapter Three: Happy Birthday

"Plagg!" shouted Tikki (luckily though she wasn't mad this time).

"Coming!" Plagg yelled back. He came into his room where Tikki was waiting.

"Come on, we have to plan the kids' birthday party! They're turning three! It's a big deal!" she told him.

"Don't worry," Plagg said. "I got it all figured out. Adrien and Chayzoo will get cheese and Marinette will get a cookie."

"But that's what you always give them!" Tikki said. "And Marinette couldn't eat the cookie when she was one! She didn't have teeth!"

"I guess you're right," admitted Plagg.

"I was thinking of giving Chayzoo one of those wooden kwami trains. He seems to like anything on wheels." Tikki said.

"Yeah!" Plagg agreed. "How about we give Adrien some squeaky toys for Cheese?" The little zina recognized his name and came trotting into the room before making an adorable squeaking sound. Tikki giggled.

"That's a good idea!" she said as Cheese hid underneath the bed because Adrien had snuck up on him and pulled his tail. Then Adrien opened his clenched fist and a couple white hairs fell out. "Adrien!" cried Tikki, "No pulling on Cheese's tail!"

Plagg was on his knees trying to comfort the little zina underneath the bed. Cheese finally came out after Adrien left to play with his brother. After a little while the two parents decided to get Marinette a swing because she loved the ones at the kwami park.

"Now we need to decide on the cake," said Tikki.

"Mm, my favorite part!" said Plagg. Tikki rolled her big blue eyes.

"Well, we know what Adrien and Chayzoo want. Cheesecake!" she said. "Do you think Marinette will like a cookie cake, or a cherry cake better? I know she doesn't like cheesecake!"

"Yes," said Plagg. "And what a disgrace it is to our family!"

"Plagg!" Tikki said.

"Right...um, I think she would lie a cherry cake with chocolate chips in it. I bet it would even look like a Ladybug!" Plagg said.

"I can't believe this, but that is a cool idea!" Tikki admitted.

"Happy Birthday dear Adrien, Marinette, and Chayzoo. Happy Birthday to you!" Tikki and Plagg sang the Happy Birthday song while bringing in and lighting a tiny cheesecake and a cherry chocolate chunk cake about half the size of the first cake.

"You were right Plagg, this does look just like a Ladybug!" commented Tikki as she cut a piece from Marinette's cake. After everyone had finished the cakes they opened presents. As soon as they opened their presents, they loved them.

Whenever someone got close to Chayzoo he would start yelling "Mine! Go away!" After a little while (and some help from Plagg) Adrien started throwing his squeaky toys in the other direction of Cheese and not at him (though Adrien loved seeing Cheese jump when he accidentally hit him). And even though her present wasn't hanging up yet, Marinette knew what it was and got so excited she climbed into her baby swing while it was still on the ground and got stuck.

When Tikki finally got her out, she noticed Plagg walking towards her with his brown suit, black tie, and tan fedora (with even more bite holes in it). "I'm sorry I couldn't stay for the rest of the party, but..." Plagg started, but he couldn't say "I'm off to the cheese-tasting factory" because his suitcase burst open and blocks of cheese (and a couple papers) went flying all over the family room. Tikki glared at him.

"S...sorry?" Plagg said. Then he noticed Adrien and Chayzoo crawling over to get his cheese. "No...stop it...gimmy that...get over here...that's mine!" Plagg desperately tried to gather up all his cheese. Adrien had a piece of cheese and was about to it eat. Plagg grabbed it and tugged and pulled. When Adrien finally let go, Plagg went flying across the room before hitting the wall. "Why you..." he started, but then he stopped because Adrien looked too cute eating cheese.

Tikki was pushing Marinette in her new swing when Chayzoo ran outside. "Mommy Adrien touched my choo-choo!" he told her. Just then, Adrien ran outside.

"Mommy!" he wailed. "Chayzoo frew my squeaky toy on de shelf! I can't get it!"

"Who taught my kids to be so over-protective?" she thought. "Maybe it was Plagg."

"Don't touch my swing, cheeseball!"

"Yep, it was Plagg!" She would have to teach her kids to share. She went inside and got a block of cheese and a cookie. When she came back out they all said in unison "Can I have some?"

"Will you share your toys?" asked Tikki.

"NO!" they all said. She gave them some cookie and cheese.

"Why did I share with you?" she asked.

"Because you love us?" Chayzoo volunteered.

"Do you love each other?" Tikki asked.

"Yes!" said Adrien.

"Do you think you should share your toys?" Tikki questioned.

"No!" said Marinette.

"Then why did I give you a cookie?" The kids looked at each other.

"Okay mommy, I'll share!" said Adrien. "But can you make sure those cheeseheads don't ruin my toys?" Tikki facepalmed.
