Hey, I got your e-vite. I've never had a birthday party before, either. You know I'll be there, of course! I'd love to meet the family I've heard so much about.

( She's definitely not coming without a gift, though. That's for sure. He's her best friend here, how can she show up at his birthday party completely empty-handed? So now she's got to...figure that out, but at least she's got a bit of time. )

Really? There's something sad about that, for both of us. Our father didn't believe in frivolous things like parties. We're clearly changing that now.

I'm glad you'll come though! Hopefully they will be on their best behavior...

My dad was always working so much and I didn't really have friends until a few years ago... It never really seemed all that important. We wouldn't have had the money for something like that, anyway, back then. Maybe I'll have my first one next year. I've already had a birthday this year.

What's that matter? I'm sure they'll be fine. How bad can it be? It's a party, mate.

I'm telling Klaus. He'll want to do another party, I'm sure of it. lol. but no, seriously, I've been to a few parties for people since being here. Even dropped in on a frat party. they can be fun. Just never had one for 'myself'. And this is for 7 of us. Well, 6... but still.

Oh, I'm sure they could be fun, I just don't want one of my siblings interrogating you or something. Not that they do that. lol

Oh yeah that's what I need, a party planned by someone I've only ever met online haha. Anyway, it's not until August. It was actually a couple of days after the Renaissance Faire, it's just I'd been too busy settling in and I lost track. I forgot my own birthday, believe it or not.

It'll be fun, having one for yourself finally. Even if it is sharing with five other people.

Why would they interrogate me? I'm pretty boring, on the whole. I think they'd be well disappointed.

Wait! So, I missed your birthday and didn't even know it? That's balls!

Yeah, maybe it'll be good.

Um, excuse you, mermaid of awesome. (ノ*゜▽゜*) You are so not boring.

Even I missed my birthday. You'd only just met me.
It's all right, mate. But yeah, it was August 18th.

I dunno, I think you're biased because you've gone swimming with me and the dolphins. I'm pretty boring as far as most people would be concerned.

Still, that sucks. next year though. I know when it is. (mauahaha, mine is an evil laugh)

I think YOU are bias because you can't see your own self. the only thing that would have made you wildly crazy interesting is if you let a complete and total stranger pick out a dress or suit of armor for you on the day they met. Otherwise you're jsut real interesting, not wild and crazy interesting.

still interesting though.

I'll bet you forget by then mauahahaha yourself!

I MEAN I made the right call on that one in the end, though, didn't I, mate?

If you say so. :P

Too late. it's in my computer reminders

... YEAH. OK. I guess. You win that one.

I do! :p

I guess we'll have to hope technology doesn't let you down, then.

Yeah, I do. I do win that one. I'm only sad I missed seeing you as a pirate.

It's a good thing I also have a good memory.

I don't know, it might have been for the better. I mean shit, I kidnapped my best friend...

Yeah we'll see.

You wouldn't have been able to kidnap me. I'd not have had that happen again, that's for certain.
Been there, done that, not a fan.

yeah well, had you been some princess I might have, but if I got you in a knights outfit I think I would have died. I apparently picked fights with knights.

Okay, that's fair, but I wasn't dressed up, so you'd have been trying to kidnap me and it wouldn't have gone well for you, mate haha.

Oh my gosh...you're lucky nothing got too bad. Is that the sort of thing that'll happen now and again?
I'm not sorry I missed it but I'd like to continue to avoid that sort of nonsense.

I bet. I still think you could kick my ass if you wanted, and pirate brained me would def have been kicked.

Every now and again things like that happen, but it's rare as far as I know. Like, I'm not going to NOT go to things and play along even if those things happen. What's the point in living if you can't have fun?

I dunno about you. You're actually trained, yeah? I'm not.
I just have great powers to help me out.

You always have a better perspective on things... See? This is why I keep you round, Ben.

I am trained, but I'm rusty. I should actually fix that.
But your powers are awesome.

I'm worth keeping around at least!

I'm hardly the person for that, but I think you should. It's a good skill to have. I'm a little jealous.

Of course you're worth keeping around!

it's a good skill to have. I could teach you a bit of self defense if you want it.

So are you, so you know.

Yeah? Yeah...you wouldn't mind? That might be a nice to know.

Oh, I dunno about all that, mate haha. I think you're biased by the fact that keeping me around means you get to swim with a mermaid.

I wouldn't mind at all. It's important to know and could help in case of a situation around here.

Only mildly biased to that. I mean, it's a perk, but if you had scuba gear instead, I'd still want to swim with you.

Speaking of, I found a car I might get. Which means I might just buy scuba gear instead of renting it all the time. Also means it wont get so cold on the way home on fridays.

Then yeah, I'd like to learn. Thanks, Ben.

I wouldn't be that much fun to swim with in scuba gear, I'm betting. Plus, it wouldn't make nearly as good a story. :P

Oh, brilliant! I feel like I should go halves on the scuba stuff or something since you're mostly probably only using it to go with me, yeah?

It's not too bad, and we can use the gym in the house my siblings have to practice. it's got mats so it'd be painless as possible.

Scuba gear isn't that bad, but I bet it's nice to be free of it. still haven't told Klaus I've been swimming with a mermaid. I doubt he'd believe me.

Don't worry about it. it was on the list and I've been loving it.

They've got a gym? In their house? Geez. But yeah okay, if you don't think anyone would mind. Just let me know when.

I've never actually used it, to be honest, so I'll have to take your word for it that I'd probably prefer not having to deal with it. It certainly looks like a pain. You know the good part about being friends with a mermaid is that you actually have proof of those sorts of claims.

I'm glad. I like it better when I have you to swim with than when I go on my own or have Marco talking to me psychically when he's doing the dolphin thing.
