- 'You're having a good time then?' Shirley said as she walked back to Phil who was still standing at the bar observing the kids partying and dancing in the club.
- 'Yeah, why?' Phil said 'cause I'm not the dancing kind?'
- 'No, I know you don't do much of that but I can see something's on your mind, you're here but not really, you know what I mean?' Shirley said rubbing Phil's back.
- 'Was just thinking how Ben would love to have a party like this when he has his birthday coming' Phil said to stop Shirley for asking him questions.
- 'Yeah, or Hev, look at her' Shirley said laughing on how Heather was enjoying herself so much dancing to a lot of music she liked.
Phil grumbled a bit 'go on have a good time, I need to go to the loo'.
Shirley smiled, gave Phil a kiss and danced her way back to Heather on the dancefloor.
Instead of going to the loo, like he said, Phil walked into the office where Ronnie was sitting behind her desk and Jack was drinking his drink on the sofa. They both looked up when Phil came in.
- ' Thanks for coming back Phil, eventhough we don't know what your answers gonna be' Ronnie said looking at her cousin serious, really not knowing what she could expect from her cousin.
- '35 %' Phil said' 65% is mine, take it or leave it'.
- 'Oh stuff it Phil, it's half or nothing, and I mean nothing for you, you knów I'm good for it!' Ronnie said getting up from behind her desk, a little irritated that Phil still was trying to get his own way again.
Phil's face lit up, he loved Ronnie's feistiness, a real Mitchell in his eyes.
- 'Alright, 50/50 then, don't blame me for trying, and I ehm.. I need to tell Shirley first alright, I mean tell her myself' Phil said.
- 'Yeah alright, and I want those papers first thing tomorrow Phil, no more excuses, this is a done deal right?' Ronnie said wanting Phil to shake on it.
- 'Yes' Phil said shaking Ronnie's hand 'don't worry, I ehm, well I already had the papers ready, just changed my mind, they only need our signature, I'll be over first thing tomorrow with them for you to sign them ok?'
- 'Yeah alright, ehm we better get back to the party, don't want anyone to get suspicious, Robbie especially, this is her night' Ronnie said already feeling guilty having been busy with Phil instead of her daughter.

Robbie had taken Peter away from their friends and were sitting on the stairs of the club.
- 'So were you really surprised then?' Peter asked stroking one of Robbie's hands softly.
- 'Yeah, I was all set on going to the Vic tonight, never expected the club to have the party at really, I mean I just never thought they would close the club for me' Robbie said smiling.
- 'You're kidding me, Jack and Ronnie can do anything with the club' Peter said loving the fact that Robbie could be so modest at times.
- 'Yeah I know but…just never thought about it, I mean all this for me' Robbie said 'but what I really was thinking about was..'
- 'Here you are, come on Pix, time for your pressie's, sorry Peter, she'll be back in a bit!' Roxy interrupted the two teens and grabbing Robbie's arm.
- 'I tell you later yeah' Robbie smiled at Peter, who knew it was something obviously cheeky cause of the way she was smiling at him.
Roxy put her arm around her sister and took her to where Ronnie, Jack and Glenda were waiting for Robbie, next to the bar where they were sitting in the sort of booth area.
- 'So you ready then peanut?' Jack asked 'come on sit down here, next to your mums'. Jack pointed at a space between Ronnie and Glenda.
Robbie let herself fall in between her mothers.
- 'Can I have a drink dad, I mean like the real stuff?' Robbie asked looking at Jack.
- 'Absolutely not!' Glenda said looking at Ronnie as if there was no discussion about it.
- 'Just a little one won't hurt alright, but really just one Robbie!' Ronnie said looking serious at Glenda then winking at Robbie 'just cause it's your 16th'.
- 'Yep, and after, she has it she wants more and more' Roxy said picking up her own glass.
- 'Exactly, that is my point yes' Glenda said satisfied with Roxy making a point there.
- 'Just one, keep your hair on mum' Robbie said 'I mean you're drinking, bet you also started with one first'.
- 'Robbie!' Ronnie said.
- 'Yeah one bottle more like' Roxy said making Robbie laugh.
- 'Oi watch your mouth madam!' Glenda said giving Roxy a little playful slap.
- 'Dad could I get a vodka-juice then maybe, please?' Robbie asked 'then you can decide how much of it there will be in it ok?'
- 'Let me do it' Roxy said standing up.
- 'Roxy, go easy, I mean it yeah' Ronnie said looking serious at her younger sister.
- 'Yeah ofcourse' Roxy said winking at Robbie.
- 'Alright here's your present of your mum and me' Jack said handing Robbie a big wrapped box.
Robbie grabbed the box and started to unwrap it, then her eyes lit up as she saw the picture on the box showing a laptop.
- 'Is it mine, I mean all mine, really mum?' Robbie asked looking at Ronnie.
- 'Yes sweetie, no more sharing one, and no Roxy on your case, you need it really for your schoolwork' Ronnie said 'you like it?'
- 'Like it, me likey very much, I love it' Robbie said 'thanks mamma, thanks daddy' Robbie kissed both Ronnie and Jack.
- 'Here you go babysis' Roxy said handing Robbie the drink 'enjoy baby, cheers!'.
Robbie took the glass and took a sip from it 'ahh this is yummy' Robbie said smiling at her sister.
- 'Not too yummy I hope, let me have a taste of that?' Glenda said holding out her hand to Robbie.
- 'Are you kidding me, you're not getting any of this?' Robbie said 'this one's all mine, you already have a drink mum, don't be greedy, don't want to mix them all up, you'll have a hangover tomorrow'. Robbie smiled cheeky at Roxy who was laughing.
- 'And you would know that because?' Glenda said raising one eyebrow.
- 'Alright Pix, here's Amy's and mine, hope you like it' Roxy said handing Robbie the little package.
Robbie put her glass down and took the paper off and again her eyes lit up and she started smiling.
- 'Oh my god, I wanted one of these so bad, does it have internet on it and stuff, you know twitter and all?' Robbie asked looking at Ronnie.
- 'Eh that's all your sisters responsibility lovey, we'll have a look at how that all works this weekend yeah, don't want Roxy getting high phonebills cause of this, I warned her about that' Ronnie said serious.
- 'Amy's got good taste now doesn't she' Robbie said giving Roxy a hug 'thank you, I love you I love you I love you, you are the bestes sister….well as long as you pay my phonebills for me'.
- 'Yeah, like Ronnie said we'll have a look at it this weekend and see how it works yeah' Roxy said 'I believe there's something on it that warns you if you go over it, hopefully it works!'
- ' It better not come to that!' Ronnie said strict.
- 'Now darling here's my gift' Glenda handed Robbie a little present wrapped in pink shiny paper with a little bow on it 'and this I want you to open when you're home, not here, it's ehm…something I found from a long time ago, I want you to take a little time for it, but I want you to go and have a good time here tonight, so better open that at home alright'.
- 'Give it here then baby, I'll give it to you when we get home yeah' Ronnie said as Robbie handed over a little package with an envelope attached to it. Ronnie put it in her purse.
Robbie opened the other little present from Glenda and got out a golden necklace with charms on it, a 1, a 6 and a little fairy.
- 'Oh mum this is beautiful' Ronnie said looking at it with Robbie.
- 'Yeah mum, this is lovely, thank you so much' Robbie said giving Glenda a hug and a kiss.
- 'It's ehm, well 16 since it's a special birthday and since it's actually my first time celebrating your birthday, well with you that is, and this, this reminded me of you, it kind of looks like Tinkerbell, the cheeky but sweet fairy from Peter Pan, I'll bet that's why Roxy calls you Pixie right?'
- 'Good one mum' Roxy said 'cheeky she is, stubborn, don't know about being sweet' Roxy said, immediately receiving a slap from Robbie 'Oi!'
- 'Could you put it on please mum?' Robbie asked Glenda 'I love it, and ehm… I'm glad you're here with me to celebrate my birthday…finally, that we all are here together'.
For a little while Robbie sat with her family then went back to her friends again to continue her party.
Robbie was having the time of her life, she danced with the girls and Peter. Kids from school had come up to her to thank her for the invite that she obviously never personally gave them but she was glad that they could experienced one hell of a party. Everything looked great, she could see everyone was having a good time. The adults, who were there also, seem to have a good time, drinking and dancing and also having fun.
Robbie walked over to the toilets and walked in, she jumped a little as one of the doors opened and a girl from school came out, Robbie walked over to one of the sinks and started washing her hands.
- 'Great party Robbie, thanks for the invite!' the girl started 'noone's gonna top this'.
- 'Thank you Lynn, yeah, am pretty lucky that my parents own the club otherwise they're wouldn't be any of this' Robbie said and smiled, she just wanted Lynne to leave.
- 'Well I'll see you out there' Lynn said as she walked to the door.
- 'Yep' Robbie said as Lynn walked out 'Pete?'
A door opened and Peter's head came round it, Robbie quickly walked over and sneaked in.
- 'So is this what you wanted?' Peter asked as he locked the door.
- 'Definitely, a girl can have a little privacy on her birthday now can she, well for the couple hours that are left of it, and even if it's in here' Robbie said as she pushed Peter to the wall and started kissing him.
Peter softly stroked his hands across Robbie's face and kissed her neck. Then Robbie started to unbutton Peters shirt.
- 'You sure you wanna do this here, I mean this feel good stuff' Peter smiled a little as Robbie started kissing Peter's chest, it tickled a but.
- 'You ok?' Robbie asked as Peter threw out a soft 'ahh'.
- 'Well you know ehm… it's getting pretty hot in here…or is it just me?' Peter said.
- 'Naughty mister ey' Robbie said smiled cheeky' cool off!'
Then they both jumped as the door next to them closed, hard. They were so wrapped up in themselves that they hadn't noticed anyone coming in, but maybe that was part of the plan cause while Robbie and Peter were holding eachother tightly, trying to keep as quiet as they could be, someone was looking at them from above the open toiletwall.
