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!"

In the corner is a table for placing gifts. Leave a description here. Or, if you'd like, give it to him personally!

MISC.

Anything else you'd like to thread out? This is the place!

[Guess who's natural curiousity has lead him to this area! He's looking about as suprised as Athrun.]

... Oi, oi. Is it someone's birthday party or did I miss the memo?

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[He turns around...]

Keiichi? You mean you aren't...

[Motioning to the others.]

1/4

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

Eh? What's everyone looking at me for--

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

[OH THIS IS A PARTY FOR ATHRUN]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

[He's going to slump in a corner for a moment with a depressed aura.]

Ehhhh?! How did I not get an invite?! When it comes to parties, I know how to raise the roof! So how come I wasn't invited to this party?! Who in the world could possibly forget about me--!?

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

[WITH THAT SAID. He'll spring right back and point at Athrun to laugh.]

Nyahahaha! Gotcha! It was a good prank, right? I totally knew that this was your birthday party, but I wanted to put on some tension before the real show begins, you knoooow?

1/2

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[See that look, Keiichi? Athrun doesn't buy it.]

2/2

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[But he rolls with it for his sake.]

Well, it was certainly convincing. But it's...good to see it wasn't authentic. I'd hate to see anyone left out.

[Don't mind as he draaapes himself on your shoulder there, Athrun.] So how old does this make you now?

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, he does mind.]

If we count the time I've spent here? Twenty.

...Assuming we get older here.

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

[Annd he'll let go because this is a SHOCKING DISCOVERY.]

--T-Twenty?! That's old-- I mean, that's mature!

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[You are not earning many points here, Keiichi.]

Well, I was eighteen when I arrived, and I've been here for almost a year and a half. And I'm hardly the most mature person here or back home.

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

Haaah? That makes sense... But you're probably one of the most mature guys that I know, personally.

[He means this mentally, of course.]

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[As he assumes.]

...Well, I admit that I had to grow up fast, but I've still got some growth left in me. There's still plenty I need to learn.

[ look at this beaming face. ]

Athruuuun! Happy Birthday~!

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

Wha-- This is--

[He takes a minute to get his bearings.]

Rise! Did -- did you organize this?!

[restardom.livejournal.com]

You didn't think I'd let you keep your birthday a secret, did you?

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

...Well, knowing you, no.

But this! This goes above and beyond making my birthday public!

[spear-master.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday, Athrun!

[ For hugging we have Rise, so he will just smile at him. ]

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[Athrun's still getting over the initial shock.]

Just...just how many people are here?
