[ It's Stephen and Summer's birthday! There's a bonfire lit, chairs surrounding it. There's a keg on ice with lots of cups, various types of liquor, and a small table that has hot dogs, sticks to roast the hot dogs with. And there are also S'mores fixings: marshmellows, chocolate, and graham crackers. Party on, people, party on.]

[Stephen has also provided veggie hotdogs, which is clearly labeled on the table. He is lounging in one of the muskoka chairs by the fire, a beer in hand, feeding the fire a new log every few minutes.]

[Summer is sitting by the fire, legs crossed, a smile on her face as she watches the party progress, just enjoying the party. Feel free to bug her!]

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

[Oh hai, Stephen, Summer has a gift for you and she's going to approach him with a grin.] Happy birthday, Stephen. [She hands him a wrapped gift!]

[totallyinaband]

Oh hey. Thanks, man.

[Stephen will totally be one of those infuriating people who'll unwrap it carefully to save the wrapping paper.]

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

[She'll wait really impatiently for him to open the toy cowboy hat (http://www.didisplaypen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/cowboyhat.jpg) but sitting inside of it is a nice leather bound journal.]

[Rose hasn't seen Stephen since the family curse event and she's not normally one for parties. But even though he's not actually her father she feels somewhat obliged to show up to this gathering. She's clutching a smallish box wrapped in purple paper]

I hope you don't consider it inappropriate that I am here.

[totallyinaband]

[Stephen snorts when he sees the hate, but gives Summer a grin anyway. The journal he takes a moment with, flipping through the pages.]

That gorgeous, Summer. Thank you.

Did you want another s'more?

[totallyinaband]

Hey, Rose! Grab a seat, a hot dog, whatever!

[Ryan helped set things up then showered and changed into a pair of cargo shorts and a tee shirt. He grabs a soda from the cooler and finds Summer by the fire. He sits down behind her, arms going around her.]

Party going okay?

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

[She grins at him as he settles next to her, shifting so she can be close to him as he wraps his arms around her.] Yeah. You know me and bonfire parties. [She presses a kiss to his cheek.] Are you having fun?

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I thought you could write your lyrics or music or whatever in it. [She smiles a little before nodding at his question.] Oh yeah, I'm so game.

[Jill arrives with Lucy, a manilla envelope in hand. She hangs back for a long time, giving Stephen time with the other guests before she goes over to him.]

Hey, happy birthday.

[Showing up a little later than planned, Derek quickly finds Summer to wish his friend a happy birthday. He spies her by the fire and moves over there closer to the flames.]

Hey sweetheart. How's the birthday girl?

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

Hey Derek. [She spies Derek and moves to stand with a grin, brushing the stand off her shorts] I'm great. Thanks for coming!

[imnotbluffing.livejournal.com]

[Ryan rests his chin on her shoulder and nods.] It's a good party.

[He reaches into one of the pockets of his cargo pants and pulls out a box (http://www.sundancecatalog.com/product/artist+community/jes-maharry/blue+skies+ahead+necklace.do?green=0a8e6662-b680-428d-b8be-d1d214d00168). It's not wrapped.]

Happy Birthday.

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

[She glances at him, surprised, though not surprised since he is thoughtful and it is her birthday. She takes the offered box, shifting so she can open it. Her smile only increases in size, her eyes going to his face.] Ryan. This is amazing. [With her free hand, she moves to tilt his face towards hers, pressing a soft kiss to his lips] I love it.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

[She gives him a slight smile, sitting beside him and holding out the package]

I found this...I must have been working on it during the curse. Now seemed as fitting a time as any to complete it and gift it to you.

[Inside is a small knitted tentacled-looking thing (looking very much like the squiddle in the icon) with a rose woven into its side]

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, I totally will.

[totallyinaband]

Rose... That's adorable. Did you make it?

[Stephen can't help but feel a little surge of pride at her right now.]

[totallyinaband]

Hey! Thanks for coming. You want.a beer?

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll get myself one. No need for you to get up or anything. I just... I brought you something.

[She holds out the manila envelope to him. Inside he'll find about fifty pages of blank sheet music.]

For your birthday.

[Derek envelopes her in a big, two-armed Derek hug for a brief moment before letting go.] Wouldn't have missed it. This looks nice, haven't been to a bonfire since my college days.

[Bonfire party! Hanna is super pumped, and has a cooler with him as he shows up to the beach. He's got beer and soda, and cupcakes! And, of course, a present for his bro Stephen.]

Open action

[Lucy shows up with Jill dressed appropriately (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=35453479) for a beach party. First stop, naturally is to make margaritas on the rocks. She'll stick to gathering around the fire for the most part. Stop her and talk or she'll stop you.]

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

[Once Lucy gets her margarita on the rocks, she heads over to say hello to Stephen. She catches him in a one armed hug, clinging precariously to her margarita.]

Happy Birthday!!!
