Surprise Birthday Party!

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Who: Athrun Zala, Rise Kujikawa, and any and all of Athrun's friends in the Goldenrod City area!
Where: Goldenrod City, at a restaurant party room
When: October 29, around dinner
Summary: It's Athrun's birthday, and Rise has arranged for a surprise party, getting all of Athrun's friends in Goldenrod to attend. (If your character is a friend of Athrun's, feel free to assume Rise gave him/her an invite.) Of course, Athrun has no idea that he's walking into a party. Expect fun and hilarity, and maybe some heartwarming!
Rating: G, PG if you stretch it.
Log:
Another birthday had come. Athrun had not given it very much thought, but apparently Rise had. All Athrun was expecting tonight was a quiet dinner with his closest friend here.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Rise wasn't there. Instead, the host led him back to where he'd be sitting. Of course, it wasn't to any of the tables in the main dining area, but around to the side, where a door led into a private party area. Athrun opened the door, and stepped through...

"SURPRIIIIIISE!"

Whoa -- Yayoi! You knew about this, too?

[10yen_idol]

Of course! I mean, it's Rise!

[... that's probably explanation enough, honestly]

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

...That's...actually a really good explanation.

[10yen_idol]

Eheheh~... I've never seen you look so surprised before, though!

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Well, I wasn't expecting a party when Rise told me to meet her for dinner. In hindsight, maybe I should have known better.

[10yen_idol]

I bet you didn't know that she meant that EVERYONE would be here for dinner-

- ah! Um, Athrun, how old are you now!?

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

--Huh? Well, if we count the time I've spent in Johto, I'm twenty.

[10yen_idol]

Wow! Already!? That's a really important age!

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

It is?

[Athrun can't think of anything special about turning twenty, himself.]

Why is that?

[10yen_idol]

Because it's the first year that you're in your twenties!

[... yes, yes it is]

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

...Uh.

[He can't think of anything to say in response to that declaration.]

[10yen_idol]

...

[Okay, that sounded kind of ridiculous, it's time to elaborate] That... that IS a big deal, isn't it? I mean, that means you're an adult!

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Well...legal adulthood begins at eighteen.

But at the same time, it means that I'm no longer in the teen years.

[10yen_idol]

Yeah! And that's REALLY important~!

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right. I'm no longer a teenager in any sense of the word.

[And as far as Athrun is concerned, that's a good thing.]

[10yen_idol]

... you seem really happy about it, Athrun.

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Do I? Well, I guess I am. It makes other people in the military more likely to listen to what I have to say. They can't brush it off as just being a teenager.

[10yen_idol]

Even though you've done so much for them already!?

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

I have the tendency to push for things they don't like. So I haven't made many friends within the government.

[10yen_idol]

Auuu~... that really doesn't seem fair...

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[Shrug.]

That's life for you. But enough about serious topics.

[10yen_idol]

Y-Yeah! Happy birthday again~! I, um, I got you a present-

[She starts rummaging through her stuff- before stopping.]

... ah- that's right, I put it with everyone else's already...

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Yayoi. Athrun can't help but smile.]

Then I'll get to it later.

[10yen_idol]

[nod nod NOD]

Okay! Um, then- let's go and eat!
