-Dauragon and Raven are walking up to the house from Dauragon's car, and Dauragon is barely visible through all the shopping bags he's carrying. Raven opens the door, turns on the lights and yells:-
Raven: SURPRISE!
Zell: Isn't that our line?
Reno: -smacking sound is heard from under the kitchen table- Shut up, you idiot! She's not supposed to know we're here!
Irvine: Exactly.
Kou: Moron.
Raven: You all can come out now. I knew you were here. After all, I make it my business to know these things.
Hunter: -Trying, with Aeris, to get out from under the coffee table- But you spoiled the
surprise! And once again, you telling us that you make it your business to know proves D's whipped.
Raven: Hm?
Hunter: Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.
Raven: -O.o- Well, anyways. Your idea of a surprise is to set dynamite somewhere, and I'd rather not have a heart attack on my birthday from watching half my house be blown off the earth.
Hunter: What are you talking about...? -shoves the dynamite plunger behind the couch with a foot, and Aeris pinches him- What?!
-Dauragon rolls his eyes and sarcastically mouths "Yeah, I'm whipped." to Hunter, then snickers. Raven looks back and forth between the two, both of whom innocently shrug. She's about to say something, when Irvine, Reno, and Kou come up behind her (Wearing only boxers) pushing the swively-rolly computer chair, gently knocking Raven down into it.-
Raven: Hey! -She looks around at the three, and they all smile at her-
Never mind. Wait...you three were all under the kitchen table. Squished together. -Snickers-
Kou: Not a wholly pleasant experience.
-Fawkes and Seph can be heard laughing from the closet, which unfortunately for them, is locked.-
Zell: -Still under the table- It was fun! Wait, I'm not supposed to say anything! -Zell shoves his head in an air vent and shuts up-
-Irvine, Reno, and Kou stop, and Rufus drops out of the ceiling upside down (and shirtless), holding a pretty hefty looking pure white cake. He puts the birthday cake down on a table Hunter shoved into place, and smiles. Hunter grabs the cable holding Rufus, pulls him away from the table and roughly detaches him, sending him to the floor with a healthy thump. Aeris pinches Hunter, hard.-
Hunter: Ow! What?
-Rufus starts slicing the cake, making the first cut and then looking to Raven, placing the knife and nodding.-
Raven: Smaller.
-Rufus moves the knife-
Raven: Smaller.
-Rufus moves the knife again-
Raven: Smaller.
-Rufus moves the knife again-
Raven: Smaller.
-Rufus looks at her like she's crazy-
Raven: Just a tiny bit.
-Rufus moves the knife and slices, handing Raven a piece of cake roughly the size of two toothpicks, side by side (on the edge). Everyone blinks at her, and she grins, taking meager little bites of the piece.-
Hunter: Can we be any ditzier...?
-Dauragon shoots Hunter a look and Hunter bursts out laughing, catching a piece of cake in the face. He mumbles something, and Aeris pinches him, but continues to laugh, like everyone else in the room. Fawkes' laughs (Still coming from the closet) stop and are replaced by whimpers, at which point the closet door is broken into a million pieces, and an energy blast flies through the air, nuking the coffee table.-
Hunter: I see Kairi found a way out...
Raven: HUNTER!
Hunter: What?! HE blew up the coffee table, not me!
-Raven shrieks and chases Hunter out the door, cake knife in hand. Kairi blinks, then clutches his head again and blows out a portion of the room with a cylinder of energy. He collapses, everyone blinks, and Hunter yelps in the distance.-
