A/N: All my characters have birthdays, so I'll write specials for them every time it occurs. Megan's is February 27 and Gwen's is the day before hers. Hemlox's is June 28 and Bobby's is September 1. Today, January sixth, is Caitlin-chan's birthday, so…
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but I do own the plot and Caitlin. :)
Birthday Special: Caitlin
Caitlin stared at the candles, annoyed. The cake was bright orange, and the candles were the exact same green as Gai's jumpsuit. There were tasteful blue roses rimming the corner that would have gone beautifully with a cake that was not orange!
And of course, everybody was crowding as close to her as possible. Need. Personal. Space. Now!
Her chakra was flaring dangerously, but it seemed that no one except for Tenten noticed. The brunette wasted no time in getting as far away as possible, her eyes wide with fear.
"Get. The. Hell. Away," Caitlin demanded slowly, causing most to go, except for the forever stubborn Naruto. Lucky for him, she couldn't hurt him too bad since he was one of her best friends. She shoved him away, with slightly more force than she thought. Almost in slow motion, the orange wearing blonde fell and fell… until he landed in her cake.
The birthday girl stared at him in horror as he slowly got out of the cake. Kakashi reached forward and touched the boy's hair, grabbing a glob and cake and then eating it.
He shrugged. "Cake's cake."
Gai stared at him in awe. "Such daring, my eternal rival!" Kakashi just turned away from him, causing tears to form in the other man's eyes. "So cool!"
Caitlin paused, and then shrugged also. I suppose Bakashi-sensei is right on this account at least… It's cake even if Naruto probably hasn't taken a bath in several days… Almost cheerfully, she cut a piece of cake off that was slightly crushed and took the unlit candle off of it, and ate cheerfully, surrounded by family.
