On a floating landmass that is Sanctuary, Angel is recuperating in a medical bay operated by Dr. Zed. Months have gone by after the Vault Hunters revived her through extensive modifications to a New-U Station. You can find more in depth details up your butt.
Angel stares out the window of an apartment, attached to a series of life support systems since her revival wasn't perfect. She still suffers from Eridium withdraw, so a steady supply of Eridium was a necessity for her to live. Though sitting in bed all day with nothing to do wasn't really considered freedom. Looking at her arm that had a large needle pumping purple ooze inside her body, she sighs and checks the radio.
Sadly the only thing on was Shade's constant banter about Oasis and his BFFs, the Vault Hunters. Angel wished she could use her abilities to look at what the Vault Hunters were up to, but doctor's orders told her to rest. Sighing even louder, she looks over at her tabletop to see a clock with a date displayed.
"Oh yeah, it's my birthday today... isn't? Well, I don't actually recall ever celebrating it either." Angel said then faces down into her pillow.
She suddenly senses a presence nearby and turns her head to face the door. Two large, blue orbs appear right at her bedside, making her jump. It was Claptrap and Zer0 wearing his Hell0000 Assassin helmet and Hyperion Heroism skin.
"Boredom is draining/Just like this damaged Claptrap/Let's Carpe Diem" said Zero, crouching next to her bed.
"Huh?"
"Speak English, minion! For the sake of my party, we can't afford to waste time." Claptrap points at Zer0.
"Uh?"
"Back to business. I was informed by my minion that today was your birthday too, but my birthday is more important. Remember that." said Claptrap, poking Angel in her side.
"O-okay." Angel says, still confused.
"You still don't get it? I'm inviting you to my party, because I'm nice and merciful."
"Thanks... I guess."
"Lack of excitement?/Butterflies in your stomach?/Claptrap being dumb?" Zer0 asks.
"No, no, just unexpected. Never thought I would be invited to a party, but..." said Angel, waving her hands in defense then looking over at her life support machines with a saddened expression.
"That's too bad... Pssst, I think she's trying to score some brownie points or something, minion." Claptrap whispers to Zer0, but loud enough for Angel to hear.
Zer0 - ):[
Zer0 punches Claptrap from above, releasing a hatch on its back and revealing a power outlet.
"What!? Treason! Mutiny!" Claptrap yells, waving its arms around.
Zer0 drags Claptrap towards the machines and begins to pile the pumps and computers on its head, then quickly switches the plugs, so everything ran on Claptrap's power supply.
Zer0 - :D
"W-wait, what's going on? Where are we going!?" Angel stutters before she is suddenly picked up bridal-style by Zer0.
"As expected of my minion, TO THE PARTY!" Claptrap yells once more and rolls out with Zer0 and Angel close behind.
They eventually reach the Highlands where Zer0 placed Angel on her feet to walk on the grass. The Siren still had a weak body, but Zer0 and Claptrap gave her a hand, mostly Zer0 anyway. The feeling of grass against her feet placed a smile on her face as well as the wind from the Lake Shining Horizons breezing over her skin and through her hair. She only wore a patient gown with short shorts and a tank top underneath, but the day was perfect for outings.
Walking up a hill , they reach a clearing where others were gathered.
"Look, it's birthday girl." Axton calls over from a grill.
"Aaaaaaaaand..." Claptrap drags out.
"…. and Claptrap." Axton says with a dull voice then returns to cooking.
Maya, Lilith, Salvador, Krieg, Gaige and many others greet the Guardian Angel and wished her a happy birthday. Scooter and Ellie brought a miniature Loader and battery pack, so Angel wasn't anchored to Claptrap anymore, but that didn't stop him from annoying her from time to time since she was taking all his thunder.
"How did everyone find out it was my birthday?" Angel asks while eating a grilled Rakk burger. (Doesn't sound that bad.)
"Zer0 stumbled upon some files while we were in Opportunity and somehow pulled out that bit of information. So, everyone... actually Zer0 pushed the idea of celebrating your birthday. Trust us, Angel, everyone here is at an age where birthdays are just another day, but you're still young and deserve it. I guess Tina and Gaige are young too, but they're not really what you would consider good girls." Maya tells her, as they all sat on the grass.
"TIsk tisk. It was I who formulated this party, not AssTrap, but me, Claptrap. Aren't I nice?" Claptrap says from behind them.
Zer0 - D:(
"Pffft. AssTrap?" Angel laughs, looking at Zer0.
"Leave it to Claptrap to come up with nicknames. Put an assassin and a claptrap together, what do you get?" Lilith asks Angel.
"An AssTrap." Angel answers before laughing into a napkin some more.
"Take the 'trap' out and you get 'AssClap'. Sounds Moxxi-esque." Axton says after finding a place to sit.
Zer0 - WTF BRO
Everyone laughs again and continues on with the feast. Presents, racing, shooting shit and more eating was what made the day go by, later followed by dusk.
"Look! Double Rainbow." Claptrap yells, pointing at the sky.
Everyone takes in the view as they start to clean up. Angel appears next to Zer0 who was still admiring the rainbow.
"Thanks Zer0." she says, placing a hand on her chest.
Zer0 - ; )
Angel hesitates a bit, but finally works up the courage to pull his head close and plant a kiss on his helmet. After letting go, she giggles and smiles at him with tears hanging on the edge of her eyes.
Zer0 - =^_^=
"I feel your amore/Flowing through my armaments/Angels are badass." said Zer0, patting her head.
"You're more cheesy than Gaige made you out to be." Angel laughs before leaving to help cleanup.
Zer0 - DX
"Assassins are cool/So strong, imposing, fearsome/I'm not made of cheese"
"But you're the same color as cheese, aren't you?" she says while walking away.
Zer0 - o_o"
"Darn."
