Chapter Three:
Happy Birthday!
Disclaimer: Don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Or anything other than this particular story, and Marie.
DOOM Fangirl: "Yay! Another chapter! Actually, I actually don't know when Alister's birthday actually is, so I just made this up. This chapter takes place about five days after the last. Anyway, read, enjoy, and leave a review!"
Marie's new method of getting Valon out of bed proved very effective. It was, in fact, so effective, that Valon started getting out of bed after she knocked on the door.
So, when he came downstairs one morning, Marie asked him if he knew why Alister had avoided conversation that morning. In other words, she wanted to know if Valon thought she'd done anything to offend the redhead.
"Oh, that?" Valon replied, laughing. "He just doesn't like May 31st, that's all."
"Oh." Brief pause. "Why?"
"It's his birthday."
"Wait. What? Today is his birthday?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Crap!" Marie exclaimed, jumping up. "I have to call in sick to work, now!"
"Uh…why?"
"I have to get him a present!"
"I…don't think that's a very good idea," Valon told the girl, surprised since he had never seen her that upset.
"What do you mean? Of course it's a good idea! It's his birthday!"
"But he doesn't like to celebrate it."
"That's what he says, maybe, but he can't mean that! Everyone likes to celebrate their birthday!"
"Hey, I have an idea," Valon said.
"What?" she asked.
"Well, go to work, first of all."
"But…"
He whispered something in her ear. Um…questioning myself: Why the hell is he whispering if their the only two in the house? …Whatever.
"Are you sure?" Marie asked. "What if he doesn't come home early?"
"Oh, please!" Valon said. "He's been working at that place for two whole days; he's bound to get fired sometime early today!"
"That's not very nice," Marie said, but got into her "Happy Burger" uniform, and rode her bicycle to work, anyway.
About three hours later, Marie was nervously looking at the door, hoping to see Valon and Alister, and her eyes brightened when she did.
"Hey, girls," she said to the other waitresses.
They all turned to her.
"You see that guy there?" she pointed to Alister.
Five minutes later…
"Okay, why the hell hasn't anyone come to take our order, yet?" Alister complained. "There're only, like, five other people here, and they're all eating, already!"
Just then, a big birthday cake was plopped down in front of him.
You have got to be kidding me… he thought.
But they weren't. All the waitresses, led by Marie started to sing while clapping their hands.
"We heard it was your birthday! We came to sing this song! We hope that you are happy today and all year long! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Marie added a final touch by blowing a party-blower.
"Oh, my God," Alister muttered, then turned to Valon, and said, rather angrily, "You told her! I thought I told you to keep your mouth shut!"
"Sorry," Valon said, grinning, not looking or sounding sorry at all.
Alister sighed.
"I didn't get you anything, so this cake, and meal, is on the house, okay?" Marie told him.
He sighed again. "Fine," he said.
"You're twenty today, right?" Marie asked.
"Uh-huh," he said.
"Well…can I take your order?"
DOOM Fangirl: "That's the end of this chapter. Leave a review, okay?
