I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.

Maryse's Point of View-

I set my alarm for super early in the morning because Mike and I had errands to do before Adora's birthday party, we wanted to let her sleep as long as she could because we felt she shouldn't have to help plan or do these errands for her own party because she at first didn't want it and she probably was tired.

"Why are we getting up so early?" Mike asked grumpily, he was never a morning person, but once you can get him up, he is up for the day or when he gets his coffee is when you can have a coherent conversation with him.

"We have errands to do before Adora's party today along with picking up our costumes." I said as I ran my hand through his short hair.

"I know…I'll go start some coffee." Mike said as he got up going downstairs as I gathered my things going to go shower mentally thinking and making a list of things needed to be grabbed while out today. I got out of the shower seeing Mike leaning against the bed holding a cup of coffee sticking it out, "The way you like it." He said.

"Thanks." I said smirking as I grabbed it.

"She is still asleep, I figured that or she's dead."

"She has a lot on her mind, she always does around her birthday."

"Yeah I know…I'll go shower and you make that list." Mike said as I pulled on my clothes taking my coffee downstairs sitting at the table in the kitchen making a list on a pad of paper that is usually hung on the fridge. I ripped the sheet off folding it putting it in my purse to use to remind us when a knock came to the door which is odd for being at 9 AM. I went to the door answering it to see an UPS man with a box, it was probably one of the many boxes that will come in for Adora but my fears are it'll have to be shipped back now that she is fired and she may not be able to keep her visa or green card but I am sure any of us could be her sponsor until it gets better for her.

"Adora Ouellet?" He asked.

"I'm her sister…"

"Can you sign for this?" He asked as I signed the electrical thing, people always asked why we had the same last names and I don't understand why it was weird. Our father adopted me at a young age and I legally changed it to his last name because he was more of a father than my or Adora's original dad.

"Thanks..." I said taking the package from him carrying it into the house, I set it down outside her room so I could open her door letting myself in taking the box inside setting it next to her suitcase knowing she will see it catching a glimpse of a black folder. 'What's this?' I asked myself in thought. I looked over to my sisters sleeping body as she snarled lightly as she rolled over before I grabbed the black folder pulling it out of the suitcase seeing the WWE logo that was much like the folders one would get when hired on. 'What the? She has a job offer already?' I asked myself as I opened it reading the first page realizing it was a talents contract. 'That bitch got offered a contract to work and she didn't tell me.' I thought to myself. I was smiling happily because I knew she had the talent and one day that Hunter would get her to sign a contract but yet I was upset and angry she hasn't told me yet. I put the folder back heading out of her room as undisturbed as I could closing the door behind me as Mike came down the stairs.

"Is she up?" Mike asked.

"Nope, still out like a light or she is a good faker." I said.

"Did I hear someone at the door?"

"It was UPS, her package from our parents came in. You ready to do this?"

"Lets go, but before we leave I'm going to grab some water." Mike said as he went into the kitchen grabbing some water as I grabbed my purse from the table.

"Where do we need to go?" Mike asked as he opened his bottle taking a swig as we headed out of the house as quickly as we could.

'The party store and Wal-Mart."

"Why are we going to Wal-Mart?" Mike asked as he pulled out of the drive way.

"We have to pick up some food and drinks because our cabinets are bare."

"I thought we were doing pizza tonight."

"We are but these will be appetizers and some people may not want pizza."

"Who doesn't want pizza?"

"Someone trying to watch their weight."

"It's a party, they can fuck their diet for a day." Mike said.

"We at least got to pick up stuff for tomorrow."

"We'll probably have left over's but I understand what you mean." Mike said as we went through the party store first picking up our costumes that we had ordered specially, Adora helped us with our sizes and measurements, we then picked up last minute candy and other decorations that we needed. We had to pick up extra stuff and kid friendly things since we had forgotten about Hunter and Shawn's kids. We then went to Wal-Mart doing a full grocery shopping trip, we may have bought too much but all as fails I knew the guys will take some with them back to the hotels or buses for a midnight snack for lunch the next day. We headed home, when we got inside Adora was sitting on the couch stitching away at Mike's coat that was pretty much done by now. "It looks amazing, is it done?" Mike asked as he walked back out from the kitchen to grab more bags from his car.

"Almost." She said smiling as she looked up at us quickly before looking back at the jacket.

"Your still doing work for them even though you got fired?" I asked.

"This was my project, I can't break a promise to Mike and he doesn't know yet."

"When will you tell him? He'll know Friday when you don't have a plane ticket."

"I'll have a plane ticket, trust me…Hunter and I are discussing things." She said as she snipped the thread before she looked at her phone responding to a text.

"Will you go unpack those things and start preheating the oven?" I asked.

"How much did you buy and everything for the party?"

"Um, not everything so just start unpacking and I'll do the rest" I said as she got up putting her stuff aside and went into the kitchen to help us unpack as we went into the garage helping Mike grab rest of the bags that had to go in.

"Who bought Twinkies?" Adora asked holding the box of Twinkies.

"Do you mind?" Mike asked snatching the box from her getting her to smile and let out a chuckle.

"Did you finish your costume?" I asked knowing she had to finish the wings.

"Last night, did you get yours?" Adora asked reaching above her head to put something away.

"Yeah, just hoping it'll fit…worried it won't fit my curves." Mike said.

"What curves?" Adora asked as he lifted his shirt explaining and showing the 'curves' he had. "Go try them on and I'll start the preparations." She said as we obliged, we went upstairs changing into our matching costumes. I was dressed as Morticia Addams and he was Gomez Addams, I gelled his hair down and drew on a moustache on his upper lip going down stairs seeing Adora walking out of her room, she bit her lip from laughing.

"They look that bad?" I asked.

"No, they are amazing." Adora said as she snapped a picture of us, this was the tightest dress I have ever worn but I insisted on wearing it, guess I have to get comfortable with it for the next hour until her party begins. We begun cooking and setting up decorations and games that were bought along with doing the grocery bags when a doorbell rung knowing that the first guest will be behind that door. "I got it!" Adora exclaimed running inside to answer the door.
