The party started when my friends surprised me with a firework display in Southern San d'Oria.
|
|
|
Though I had planned the party, such a display not only embarrassed me thoroughly, but also warmed my heart.
|
|
|
Those who arrived early to help me decorate lined up on the steps and accompanied me in greeting my guests.
|
|
|
For fun, I donned my rabbit costume to welcome those arriving.
|
|
|
Finally, Myangel and I were the same size, so I gave him a quick bunny kiss.
|
|
|
Erinya (who was such a blessing in all the preparations) and I started up the fire. It gave us some trouble but we managed to get it going eventually.
|
|
|
Everyone was called to the table so we could begin serving out the food. There was Fish Mithkabobs and Sole Sushi for dinner, followed by Rolenberry Pie for Desert.
|
|
|
Then it was time for cake! Everyone gathered in close to sing.
|
|
|
Shadowknight, who revealed his inner bard, led the group in an enthusiastic, semi-talented "Happy Birthday". I blushed throughout the entire song and long afterwards.
|
|
|
Jungsik and several others brought fireworks and set them off to celebrate. I had some concern as we were inside the Mansion but they assured me it would be alright.
|
|
|
Everything went fine until Jungsik accidentally lit himself on fire. We all rushed over to put him out before he was seriously injured but he was quick with a water crystal and no damage was done.
|
|
|
That crisis over, Shadowknight and Elfor surprised us all with the nights entertainment!
|
|
|
We cheered for the surprising talent they displayed, hoisting our weapons in the air and giving a war cry as only Ryders can!
|
|
|
As Shadowknight and Elfor began to choose livelier tunes, the dancing began. I must say, Erinya and I owned the dance floor.
|
|
|
As everyone began to tire, I annouced that it was time for me to tell my latest, never-before-reveiled story about the Rydersonthestorm. They all sat around the fire to listen. Afterwards, I thanked my departing guests and went home to share my presents with my moogle.
