Summary; It's Huey's birthday! Uni and Alexis have put together a small party for him.
Log;

It was a nice peaceful day for a birthday party, even a small one since Huey didn't want a huge to-do. Obviously though, both Uni and Alexis were of the opinion that his birthday needed to be celebrated. Alexis had made a decently sized chocolate birthday cake while Uni had gathered balloons and candles. She had even brought some punch to go with the cake. They sent a private message to Huey to meet them just inside Xanadu where they had set up. Then they had broadcast a message over the network locked from Huey about the gathering so that anyone who wanted to come wish him a happy birthday could do so.

Alexis and Uni were busy fussing over the placement of the candles on the cake waiting for Huey and any others to show up.

It's a bit chilly, and Uni sets down the candles in her hand so she can tie the balloons to one of the table legs. She bought a big one that read "Happy Birthday" and was bordered by somewhat cutesy designs. She promised Huey something small, but a birthday was a birthday!

She turns and gives Alexis a big smile. "Thank you so much for doing all of this!"

"You're welcome, Uni. I hope Huey isn't too overwhelmed or anything. But I'm also glad you and I are stubborn in this kind of way." She casts Uni a smile and continues placing the candles around the cake, being kind of anal about them being perfectly spaced apart around the edge.

"I also hope everyone likes fruit punch cause that's all I had on short notice." She adds.

"I think he'll like it. Everyone needs to have their birthday celebrated!" Uni helps her out with the candles, emptying the box they bought upon the table. It would be a waste if they didn't use them all. And, it'd be more fun to blow them all out!

"I'm sure fruit punch will be fine for the party." Uni really appreciates it. Even if this was a bit short notice, they'll do their best to make it a fun day.

She and Uni must be sharing a brain at the moment. Alexis smiles when the rest of the candles are dumped out onto the table. "He should have known anyway... between you and I one of us would be getting something together. And now it's both of us so... double whammy of birthday cheer?"

Uni giggles, agreeing completely. "We know him well enough to know that he'd like us giving him a party. I'm glad he mentioned it to us." Because that means that he secretly wanted a party, or so Uni thinks! She fiddles with one the candles already in place. "There's a tradition of placing a candle for each year a person has aged, right? I hope Huey doesn't mind being older." Another light laugh; she's feeling very happy today.

"Not when it comes with troubles I've been trying to mentally prepare for." Huey says from behind the girls.

While he wouldn't outright say it, he was pretty grateful for the two girls that took it upon themselves to but together a celebration for his birthday. He attempts to fix his collar a bit while giving both Uni and Alexis a small smile.

Laughing at Uni's proclamation of too many candles, Alexis adds yet another candle to the top. "He's a lot older by that tradition's standards. But his cake will be so lit up and cool looking."

When she hears Huey's voice that smile she's already wearing grows a bit. She stops what she's doing to unceremoniously give him a hug. "Happy birthday, Huey!"

Uni also walks over and gives him a hug. "Happy birthday!" She beams and ushers him over to the cake, now decorated with plenty of candles. "Surprise! Alexis made you a chocolate cake. I think it looks delicious!"

While he was wrapped up in the hugs from the girls he felt a tad bit self-conscious, though past interactions with his female friends helped to keep him from letting any of his anxiety show. After being led to the cake he turned towards both girls.

"You both really didn't have to do all this...but thanks."

"Of course we didn't have to. That's what makes it special. We wanted to." She answers, eyeing the candle laden cake. "Although Uni pointed out we're making you much older than you are candle-wise. That's okay though, right?"

"It's fine, knowing my luck I'll be around here till my age actually matches the number of candles on this cake." Huey says with a hint of amusement.

[alexis-castle.livejournal.com]

"Knowing all of our luck that's probably true for all of us." Alexis smirked and grabbed a match to begin lighting the candles. "But I think it'll be okay as long as we stick together... as cheesy as that sounds. I mean it's better than being here alone."
