Birthday part 2:

The first message was clearly from Sylvester, she thought. The clue was riddled with numbers and even the theoretical probability of her finding the first present(87.62%). It wasn't exactly hard to solve. It was a math problem. She had found a map of the park. The attractions were all numbered (what a coincidence). She quickly matched the solution to the problem to the smallest ride in the entire park.

She took her time walking over to the ride. There was no reason to hurry; she had hours to find all the clues, and, even if she didn't finish for a long time, she wasn't afraid of the dark.

When she arrived at the ride, she started to search around. She didn't think it would be in the control room, Sylvester would have at least suggested that it would be in there. No, he had pointed her towards the ride itself. Meaning it was probably in the ride itself. She ran through the line and to the car.

It was one of those dragon rides for children. The kind of ride they tell you can't go on after you're 12 years old. People didn't seem to appreciate the machinery that went into these rides. They were actually very interesting.

Happy quickly found intricately wrapped present. Sylvester wrapped his presents with precision. He made perfect measurements, and didn't waste paper. She unwrapped his present with care. To her surprise she found a small photo album. It was full of memories of her and Sylvester, the team, and the few pictures she had taken with Megan.

It was beautiful. Even Happy could appreciate sentimentality at times. Afterall, she was dating the sappiest sap of a shrink of all time. The liked having a book to remember the good times. Her own brain highlighted the bad and, too often, neglected the good. It was nice to have a constant reminder of the pleasant things in her life.

The next clue was from Toby. She had a feeling she would have alot of these. Toby had a bad habit of going overboard and spending all their money in an instant. Unlike when he would spend hundreds of dollars on virtually nothing, she couldn't get very angry about this. He was trying to be thoughtful and sweet.

Though she didn't normally celebrate her birthday, she appreciated the effort that had gone into it. The truth was that she had stopped caring about birthdays long ago. In foster care, no one cares it it's your birthday. Eventually, she stopped wishing for things for her birthday. It wasn't as if she didn't want anything. She had learned that she wouldn't get it, so there was no use hoping.

Toby had written, The most cheesy place to go on a date ever. She could nearly picture his smiling face as he figured out where he wanted to put his presents. He must be bored waiting for me to do this, she thought to herself. She decided that she would stop in on him after every clue.

She followed her map to the food court. Toby was happily playing on a laptop. He had surely brought wifi with him. No one could be this entertained without wifi. Especially not Toby. He seemed to have the attention of a three year old. Though she had met three year olds who could stay still for more than ten minutes, she had never seen Toby not move for that long.

"Can I keep these with you?" She called gesturing to Sylvester's present and it's wrapping paper. He looked up clearly surprised to see her so soon.

"Course," He replied once he understood the question.

"How many presents are there?" She interrogated.

"Many," He said unhelpfully.

"Thank you for being so specific," She rolled her eyes.


Three hours and 12 presents later, she was still searching for presents. Although she appreciated the sentiment, she was starting to find all this ridiculous. The last present was from Paige: A dress she would likely never wear. Though knowing Paige, Happy didn't doubt that she would find a way to force her into the dress.

8 out of the 12 gifts were from Toby. Two new charms for her bracelet: a dog bone and a small gear. If he continued to buy charms, she would quickly run out of space on the bracelet. There was a pair of new combat boots, an old rusted broken motorcycle engine, and other thoughtful gifts.

She didn't need this much. She didn't need or want to be spoiled, but it seemed that it wasn't really her choice. She was getting tired of searching for presents though. She kind of wanted to go home.

"How many are left?" She groaned. She was sitting next to him, and he had his arm around her waist.

"Just the big ones," He sighed. "It shouldn't take you too long to find them. If you start now we can probably be on the road in like an hour."

"And then home?" She asked hopefully.

"Nope," He laughed. "Stuff to do. You'd better get going."


"One more?" She asked.

"Yes," He confirmed. Pushing her away gently so that she could find her last birthday present. "I'll come with you, and then we can go to get dinner with the team, and then we can go home," he planned.

"Alright," She affirmed. "I think we are going to the clown tents."

"I've never liked clowns," He stated.

"This is your clue," she responded incredulously.

"Yeah, well it's not like there are any clowns there," He rationalized.

"You're absurd," She accused.

"But you love me," He laughed.

"Lucky for you," she rolled her eyes. "Alright, we're here," she announced. "Let's go in." Toby remained just inside the tent watching her search around. She searched for upwards of ten minutes. She looked under the bleachers and in all the crevices of the tent.

"There's nothing," She shouted to Toby not looking towards it.

"I can promise you there is something," He informed her. "Keep looking."

"I'm in charge," She shouted in response. She continues to look around. She even climbed up into the roof of the tent. She found nothing.

Finally, she found herself in the center of the ring. She was about to give up when something small caught her eye. A tiny piece of paper. She picked it up, "I swear to God if this is another coupon I will be staying with Paige tonight."

She opened up the note in her hands and read the awful handwriting that could only belong to Toby. Doctors, she laughed to herself. The note had three words on it. This was a very Toby note. She quickly remembered the Made You Look note. This note was different. Look Behind You, it ordered.

"Why would you want-" She said spinning around. She let a gasp out, "What are you doing?"
