HAPPY BIRTHDAY KaKaAnko! I'm updating today for your special day. This story is dedicated to you.

(And apologies to Rainbow Colour and thereal13thfirewolf, if you guys are still reading, for missing your birthdays in March. I know it's really late. My excuse was that my husband was in and out of the hospital that month. Sorry. Hope it was good.)

I've been working on Season 6 and Conversations so I haven't updated this in a while. But I haven't forgotten those of you who are faithfully following this.

Still thinking about how to get Rio de Janeiro story in. I've never been to Brazil or Carnival but I know people who have so I've been asking them subtly because I don't want them to know I'm researching for fanfic.

I don't own this.

"Do you know what day it is?" Beverly asked Caesar.

"Wednesday." Caesar promptly answered while tinkering with a small engine.

"No, what special day, is today?." Beverly pressed him.

"Um, is it Fiesta night at the cafeteria?" Caesar guessed.

Beverly sighed. "No."

"I give up, what day is it?" Caesar said without looking up from his work.

"It's not important, apparently." Beverly answered. "Well, I gotta go help Becca with something. See you later."

Caesar merely grunted as she left his lab. He worked in silence for a few minutes before Rex bounded into the room.

"Hey bro, what's the haps?" He asked cheerfully.

"Perdoneme?" Caesar looked at him funny. "Was that some mutated form of English? Because I know it wasn't Spanish."

"You're hilarious, bro." Rex rolled his eyes. "So you doing anything special with Beverly tonight?"

"No, why? What's tonight?" Caesar asked absentmindedly.

"You mean you forgot?" Rex's voice went an octave higher.

"Forgot what?" Caesar frowned at Rex.

"Today is your six month anniversary!" Rex said it in hushed tones like it was a state secret.

"People celebrate that?" Caesar looked at his brother incredulously.

"No, dudes don't do that but chicas love that crap." Rex said dismissively.

"How do you know that?" Caesar crossed his arms.

"Circe told me when I forgot our six month. But I was clever… I was all like but we broke up so it wasn't our real six month. Then I made Bobo remember the agreed upon six month so that I could send her flowers that day. She was all like Oh Rex, you are the best boyfriend ever." Rex babbled.

"No, how did you know today was our six month?" Caesar cocked an eyebrow.

"Oh, Beverly told Circe and Circe told me. Beverly was sure you'd forget and was like He's going to forget but that's okay. And Circe was like No, it's not okay. He needs to know that it matters to you."

"That's why she asked me about today!" Caesar said alarmed. He pushed back his chair and got up. He began to pace. "Do you think she's mad?"

"Does Bobo stink?" Rex scoffed. "Of course she's mad. She's probably talking to Circe right now."

"She said she was going to help her sister." Caesar muttered.

"That's even worse! If she tells Doc and Doc tells Six, Six will annihilate you." Rex stated.

"Why would he do that?" Caesar stopped and glared at his brother.

"Because," Rex said slowly as if his brother was slow. "Doc doesn't like to see her sister upset and Six doesn't like to see Doc upset, so he'll just eliminate you. He doesn't like you anyway."

"Really, he doesn't like me?" Caesar frowned. "Why not?"

"Uh, hello? Remember the whole wiping out memory thing?" Rex reminded him.

"That was ages ago. Is he still upset about that incident?" Caesar scratched his head.

"Seriously, bro. You wiped out a whole six years of his life. You don't think he'd be a little upset?"

"Well, I thought he'd be over it by now."

"How can you be over a lost six years?"

"Well, I lost 5 years."

"Yeah but you didn't have anything you wanted to remember."

"True. I suppose I can see why he'd be slightly annoyed."

"Wait, why are we talking about Six? This was suppose to be about Beverly and how mad she is at you."

"I don't think she's mad. She didn't say she was mad." Caesar pursed his lips

"Bro, girls don't tell you when they're mad! They just stop talking to you and they get all cold shoulder-y." Rex explained.

"Then how are we supposed to know?" Caesar asked surprised. "That is most illogical."

"Tell me about it... but my theory is girls are crazy." Rex said.

"I don't think that is a clinical diagnosis." Caesar said.

"Never mind just go with girls do things that you have no idea where it came from and then you have to guess if it was something you did or something that happened to them or what! I just keep a lot of chocolates in my room."

"Chocolates?" Caesar gaped.

"Yeah, you know, apology presents or when I forget an anniversary. Girls always remember stuff like that." Rex said.

"Can I borrow a box from you?" Caesar asked.

"No, bro you need to make this up to her with something bigger than a box of chocolates." Rex shook his head.

"Like what?" Caesar wondered.

"I don't know. Take her out somewhere nice, like an expensive restaurant." Rex said with a wave of his hand.

"I guess I can do that."

"And buy her flowers."

"Okay."

"And maybe jewelry."

"How much stuff am I suppose to get?"

Rex shrugged. "It depends on how mad she is."

"I don't know how mad she is." Caesar fretted.

"Go find out."

"How?"

"Go talk to her and see if she'll talk to you or if she's all ice queen or something."

"Okay." Caesar left the room to find Beverly.

Rex rolled his eyes. "What would he do without me?"

Caesar approached Holiday's lab. He walked in. People were bustling around working on their respective experiments. One glance told him that Holiday was at her computer typing away. Beverly sat at a desk off to the side. She was reassembling a laptop.

Caesar cleared his throat nervously. "Ahem, hey there." He said stupidly.

Beverly gave him a brief look. "Oh hey, what's up?"

"I was wondering how you are… feeling." Caesar said.

"Fine." Beverly said while using a screwdriver..

"Oh, well, you seemed angry this morning." Caesar was fishing for a response.

"I'm not." She replied. She threw the screwdriver back into the toolbox with a slam. She began rummaging through the box angrily.

"Well, maybe you were a little upset at something?" Caesar tried again.

"No, everything's good." Beverly gave a growl. She got up and walked around Caesar. Caesar's eyes followed her worriedly.

"So see you at dinner tonight?" He asked. Beverly just waved a hand at him as she stomped away.

He quickly went back to his lab. Rex was still there and he was poking at the open hatch of one of Caesar's machines.

"Rex!" Caesar said frantically.

"Ahhh, it wasn't me!" Rex yelled slamming the compartment door. Caesar didn't notice.

"She said she wasn't mad and then walked away from me." Caesar said.

"That's a sure fire sign that she's furious with you. You better make this apology good." Rex stated before leaving Caesar alone to think. Caesar didn't notice that as soon as Rex stepped outside the door he rushed away. Caesar was so absorbed in his thoughts that he did not notice smoke coming out of the hatch that Rex just closed.

"I'll make this the best six month anniversary she ever had." Caesar said to himself. "Just as soon as I put out the fire." He grabbed the fire extinguisher and hosed down his machine. He calmly picked up his phone and spoke into it. "Note to self: Install anti-Rex device on all inventions."

Beverly stretched as she left her sister's lab. Her back was sore from being hunched over putting that darn laptop together. Bobo apparently had broken it and there was important information that had to be retrieved from it. She finally fixed it enough to download that data. She yawned. Maybe it's a good thing Caesar forgot about today. She was tired and just wanted a hot bath and then to go to sleep. When the door of her room slid opened, confetti and streamers rained down. An annoying horn was blown in her face.

"Aughh!" She jumped back in surprise and terror.

"Surprise. Happy six month anniversary!" Caesar yelled.

Beverly grabbed her chest and tried to get her breathing back to normal. "C…C…Caesar?" She gasped. "What…What…What are you doing?"

"Celebrating our six month!" He said. "Come on." He grabbed her hand and led her away.

"O..o..okay." Beverly said uncertainly as he pulled her down the hall. Caesar brought her into one of the smaller conference rooms. When he turned on the lights, Beverly saw a small table for two. There were elegant plates, candlesticks, and table cloth. Caesar walked over and pulled out the chair for her. Touched, Beverly walked over and sat down. Caesar pushed her in. Then he sat down opposite her.

Beverly looked around. "Um, Caesar?" She was wondering what they were suppose to do now.

"Oh, I wanted to give you this." From under the table he pulled out a package. Flowers were on top of the package. Beverly's eyes were as big as saucers.

"Caesar, you didn't have to…" She began.

"It's okay. I wanted to." Caesar insisted while holding the package out to her.

Beverly reached to get the present. She almost dropped it. What was in it… a bowling ball?

"Umm, thank you." She dropped the package onto her lap. She looked at Caesar. He looked apprehensively at her. "Do you want me to open…"

"Yes! Please." Caesar almost shouted.

Beverly looked at the present. She carefully placed the flower down on the floor. She pulled the wrapper off the present. She sucked in a breath. It must have been a pound of chocolates. The good kind too… from Europe. There was also a cute stuffed bear holding a heart. On the heart was a silver bracelet wrapped around it. She looked at him in surprise.

"Caesar, this is…this is all wonderful." She stammered.

"I'm sorry I forgot about our anniversary. You are a very important part of my life and I don't want you to think I would ever take you for granted." Caesar said.

The speech was more important than the presents. She smiled at him.

"Caesar, you didn't have to do all this. Just being with you makes me happy."

"I didn't want you to be angry…"

"I wasn't angry."

"Rex said that girls…"

Beverly narrowed her eyes. "Really, what did Rex say?"

Caesar related to her what Rex had said about girls and how she reacted to his questions that morning.

Beverly resisted the urge to face palm. "Caesar," Beverly reached over and grabbed his hand. "I was a little disappointed that you didn't remember but it's just a silly 6 month. I wasn't angry. I was preoccupied with fixing the laptop this morning so maybe I was a little abrupt. But it wasn't because of you. I didn't expect you to remember a 6 month…"

Caesar relaxed.

"But if you forget our one year…" She said menacingly.

Caesar immediately went rigid. Beverly started laughing.

"I wouldn't care about that either. Maybe some girls do but I'm cool with whatever you decide to remember and think is important. And I promise you that if I'm angry about something, I'll let you know."

Caesar relaxed again. He thought about what she said. He tightened his grip on her hand.

"I'm a lucky guy." He concluded.

"And don't you forget it." Beverly said teasingly.

Caesar smiled. "That's one thing I'll never forget. Oh wait…" He let go of Beverly's hand and pulled out his phone. He pushed a button, "Note to self: Do not listen to Rex's advice." He put the phone away. "Now where were we…Oh yes, dinner. I hope you like pineapple and salmon pizza."

Beverly shrugged. "Never had it."

"You've got to try it. You don't think they go together but it's quite delicioso."

"Sure." Beverly smiled.
