Well, 2 weeks have pasted and Katie finally got her cast removed. The bone in her left leg from the bear incident finally healed. Everyone was glad and Katie was happy she didn't need crutches anymore. Braixen was the happiest of all because she's all better. During the healing process, she cared for Katie, whether it was getting a drink, assisting in walking or anything else, Braixen helped with. Plus, it was another bonding act for them and now, they only have 9 more to do, all in due time. As Katie was getting comfortable walking on two feet again, with Rocky helping, they noticed that Braixen was extra cheery today. Rocky then motioned Katie to wait in the lookout while he went to figure this out. Hiding behind one of the pup houses, he used his knowledge of pokemon language to translate what she was saying. After getting the scoop, he ran back to the lookout and told Katie what he heard. Apparently, tommorrow is her birthday and she loves it when her birthday comes around. The pups, who heard this too, were surprised and Katie was surprised too. Then, she had an idea of throwing a surprise party for Braixen's birthday. Everyone agreed, but Chase had two question."One, how are we going to throw her a surprise party when she's with us a lot"? Katie thought and got an idea to plan a special day out with her. It'll keep her out of their way while they prepare. Then, Chase asked his second question,"where will we throw the party"? The pups all shouted,"At the lookout." After agreeing with that, they started to plan while Rocky played catch with Braixen to keep her out of the lookout. Then, Zuma and Rubble snuck out to hand out invitations to all their friends. When they dropped off Alex's and Mr. Porter's invitations, they asked him to be in charge of the cake. They give him the recipe for the birthday cake that would be for the party. He agrees and thanks the pups as they continue their invitation routes. Skye dropped off two invitations in the jungle for Carlos and Tracker. Zuma and Rubble made their last stop at Jake's Mountain to drop off Jake's and Everest's invitations. Once everything was delivered, Katie started to plan her day out with Braixen, but she had writer's block on ideas. Then, a flyer flew in for an animal showcase and it gave her idea. Braixen loved to dance and twirl her stick, so going to see a show was a great idea. Rocky walked in and suggested that she'd take Braixen to the pet parlor for a spa day. Katie thought that it was an awesone idea. If there was one thing Braixen loved more than performing, it was looking her best. Plus, Katie had the idea of what the spa day would be. Once those ideas were written, she still needed two more. Marshall came in to see how it was coming along and suggested that they play a few games. He also suggested ideas of games to play; tag, hide and seek, simon says and red light green light. Rocky mentioned that during Braixen's stay in Adventure Bay, those were her favorite games to play. Katie loved that idea and she even knew where to play them, in the flower field because it's her favorite place in Adventure Bay so far. Now, she needed one more idea to end it before the party. Skye suggested that they go horse riding at Farmer Al's. Katie liked that idea, plus, it'd be something new for Braixen to try. After planning out the day, Katie gathered all the pups together, seeing if Braixen wasn't around and told them the plan; when she's gone with Braixen, they'll set up the party in the lookout, but they have to make sure they're not seen sneaking around. Then around sunset, Rocky will call Katie to come to the lookout and she'll bring Braixen, but before she arrives, she'll blindfold Braixen and as she arrives, she'll lead her inside and when the lights are turned on, she'll take the blindfold off and everyone will shout Surprise at Braixen. After agreeing, it was bedtime and everyone went to sleep, dreaming about Braixen's reaction to the surprise. Morning came and Braixen woke up with a big smile on her face. Katie sat right next to her with a special plate of pokemon food for her breakfast. Braixen loved it and by the time Katie was changed, the bowl was empty. Katie sat next to her and said,"Guess what? You and I are going to have a special day out today." As Braixen cheered and smiled, Katie told her the plan. "First, I'll take you the pet parlor for a special spa day, just for you. Then, we're going to see an animal showcase because I know you love to dance." Braixen was getting really excited about the day."After that, we're going to Farmer Al's to go horse riding, it's really fun. Then, to end it, we're going to the flower field to play your favorite games." Braixen was jumping up and down with so much excitement that she could barely contain herself. After relaxing and catching her breath, Katie grabbed her bag, Braixen's pokeball and they headed to their first stop, the pet parlor on the ATV. As they were heading out, Katie turned to Rocky and winked, meaning that Operation Birthday Surprise was a go. At the pet parlor, the spa treatment had everything Braixen loved. She had a warm bath, a blow-dry and brushing, she even had a pet friendly mask and got her claws painted her favorite color, red. She thanked Katie and as they headed back to the ATV for their next stop, Katie looked and motioned Alex and his friend to hide the balloons and themselves. Then, she hopped on the ATV and off to the showcase they were. Meanwhile, at the lookout, the pups gathered all the supplies they would need to make Braixen's present and put it by the beanbags. Alex and his friend arrived with the ballons and Rocky used his claw to grab a balloon and put it where it is. At the showcase, Braixen was loving the show that was happening. The animals were dancing and impressing the crowd. Braixen loved it the most when the seal did a double decker triple front flip with a tail split at the end. Once the showcase ended, Katie and Braixen headed to Farmer Al's for the horse riding. Braixen watched as Katie got on her horse and copied what she did when she got onto her horse. It felt different at first, but when Braixen started to ride, she loved it. They jumped over hurdles and Katie and Braixen were having a blast. Braixen was having so much fun, riding at great speed, feeling the wind blow through her fur, it was lovely. After finishing and grabbing some lunch, Katie and Braixen thanked Farmer Al and went to their last stop. At the lookout, Mr.Porter arrived with the cake and everyone else came and put their presents where they were. Everything was almost complete, all the pups had to do was to finish and hang up the birthday banner, which was their present for Braixen. At the flower fields, Katie and Braixen were having so much fun. They played tag, which Braixen won a lot since she was fast, hide and seek, which was funny whenever Katie found Braixen. It was a bit easy since the tip of her ears and the tip of her tail stuck out. In simon says, it was funny to watch those two trying to copy whatever they did. Whenever one of them fell or did something without that person saying simon says, they break down in laughter. Then, in red light, green light, they were laughing so much, hoping not to move and make it. As the sun started to set, Braixen hugged Katie and thanked her for the wonderous day out. Petting the fur on Braixen's head, Katie smiled and said, "you're welcome." Then, Rocky called Katie, which meant it was time for the party. Braixen and Katie hopped onto the ATV and rode back to the lookout. As they were halfay there, Katie had Braixen put on the blindfold, though Braixen was confused why she had to do it. Once the arrived to the lookout and parked the ATV, Katie led Braixen inside and motioned someone to turn on the lights. Then she told Braixen to take her blindfold off and as she did, everyone shouted,"SURPRISE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAIXEN!" Braixen was so surprised to see all her friends from Adventure Bay gathered here, she didn't even know what was happening. Rocky chimed in to say,"Do you like it? We found out it was your birthday, so we planned this surprise party for you. It was all Katie's idea." Braixen looked at Katie and had the biggest smile on her face ever. She ran and hugged Katie as everyone gathered for the hug too. Then, Marshall yelled,"What are standing around here for? Let's get this party started"! As Till The World Ends by Britney Spears plays, FYI, I don't own this song, everyone danced, sang and had so much fun. Braixen opened the presents everyone got her. The pups' gift for her was the big banner that they worked on. Farmer Yumi and Farmer Al both worked together and got her one plush horse to remind her of the horse ride from today. Mr. Porter's present was the birthday cake he made and Alex got her a remote controlled race car and track. Mayor Goodway and Chickeletta got Braixen an Adventure Bay sweatshirt. Captain Turbot got ger a captain's hat and Wally gave her an old walrus's tusk that was made into a necklace. Finally, Katie was the last to give her gift. Inside was a jacket that looked like Ryder's when he was leader. With that in mind, Katie announced," My gift for you is that you are now given an official role on the Paw Patrol. You will be the search and rescue member. Plus, you'll also double as the leader's assistant too." Along with the jacket, was a pup pack the size of a backpack. On the jacket was a puptag that had a binocular and grappling hook symbol in the middle. Braixen looked at the gift, looked at Katie and started to cry as she ran to hug Katie again to thank her for the gift. It was the best gift she has ever received. Everyone was surprised as to how she was able to make something as awesome as that. Braixen thanked everyone for their gifts as Mr. Porter rolled in with the cake. Everyone sang happy birthday to Braixen as she blew out the candles. The cake itself was delicious as everyone enjoyed it, with Braixen loving it the most. When everyone left after the party, the pups cleaned up and put all of Braixen's presents in a special corner for her. Speaking of Braixen, she came down the elevator with her new jacket and pup pack, trying it on. Everyone loved it and it was all a perfect fit. Then, Katie and Braixen's necklaces glowed and a golden 8 showed from both necklaces and then, it disappeared. That meant that another bonding act was done, so there's now 8 left to do. Braixen thanked everyone for throwing the party for her. Everyone said welcome and hugged Braixen again. She put her jacket and pup pack with the rest of her presents and smiled. Soon, it was time to get ready for bed and as the pups headed to their pup houses, Katie turned to the elevator to find a smiling Braixen already fallen fast asleep. She carried her to her sleeping bag, put her stick next to her, petted her head and whispered good night. Today was Braixen's best day in Adventure Bay ever.
