[Good afternoon Vatheon, have you been keeping up with your calenders? No? If not, a brief reminder that today is this young boys birthday! Yes we are speaking of one John Egbert. However, he has not mentioned his birthday to anyone. no big deal, he just wanted this piece of cake from this Cafe anyways, it's cool!

>John: Proceed to deal with Bakery workers figuring out it's your birthday, get extra sprinkles and a candle on your piece of cake.

He sighs. He only eats cake this time of year, can't deny Dad's cooking. So here he is, sitting by himself under a shaded table at this Cafe. Eating a piece of cake grossly decorated with sprinkles and a candle now. He wonders if Dave or Jade even remembered what today were. Not that he wanted to make a huge deal out of it or anything!

>John: Sit here alone and think about what a nice day it is, a little cold, but it's a nice day!

Please, come bother him. He can't eat this whole cake slice by himself!]

[Your name is DAVE STRIDER. You have spent a gratuitous amount of time not sleeping to figure out what you're going to do for John's birthday. There may be other reasons as to why you are not sleeping, but that's not the point. You also just spent a gratuitous amount of time trying to find one, JOHN EGBERT.

What the fuck man. Do you know how long it took him to find you? Not that long, but it's the thought that counts. Shut up.]

John, I know mimicking how awesome I am at the lone wolf shtick might make you think it'll make you cool, but you are not meant to be one. So how about we stop trying and get all friendly and buddy buddy, because I seriously just hauled major ass to find yours.

[He just pulls a chair up so he can sit across from John.]

[longwinded]

[Wow, through and through. You suppose you can count on Dave. Dave never forget many things- him showing up at this cutesy Cafe might have just been the thing you needed today. So here you guys are, sitting at this table.

It is your birthday, and Dave is here on your birthday!]

I just went out to get this piece of cake! [He tosses the candle. Yeah, like that's going to hide the fact that today is definitely your special day of the year!] Just had a craving for it I guess, and no, don't make any ironic jokes about me being a woman and getting pregnant, because that is not it.

[knightime]

Manning up to take on the diabetes layered into it? Your...[He trails off. That probably isn't something he should bring up.]

Woah, you're being way moody right now? What crawled up your pants today? I just went to look for you through this entire stupid underwater bubble and you're giving me major sass already. Did I somehow piss you off without knowing or trying? I mean, I know I do that, but I haven't been that incredibly jackass-like yet.

[longwinded]

Oh, I'm sorry Dave! I didn't mean to snap at you or anything! I'm just a little cranky is all. Didn't sleep very well last night you know. I've been thinking a lot lately.

[You have been thinking about DAD, and how much you miss him. Also how Dad used to make you countless birthday cakes. But no matter, your best friend Dave is here!] So what's up?

[knightime]

[Dave grabs John in a headlock, mussing up his hair more than it already was.]

Than stop thinking, numbnuts. That shit is just gonna get you down. How are we supposed to have fun if you're all mopey? And I went through all this effort to make you the most badass birthday present ever.

[longwinded]

[Flailing! Oh no, oh no! John down, john down!]

Fine, fine! I'll stop thinking for today. But I really need to finish this piece of cake before we go anywhere. It got a shit ton of sprinkles dumped on it because I'm the big one-four, you know?

[Ahahahahaha. John thinks he's funny.]

[knightime]

Man. You are so unfunny. For someone who supposedly has a Prankster's Gambit, you are totally unfunny. John, just eat your cake.

[You don't know how antsy Dave is right now. Stop torturing him. Just let him dazzle you with his haphazard birthday gift that he's been freaking out about.]

[longwinded]

Don't doubt my prankster's gambit dude, it's not cool. Not cool at all.

[That fork is shoved into his cake, and then respectively into his mouth. CHEWING LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW. Okay John is done after a couple of bites, too much cake. He gets a to go box.] Alright Dave, what massive thing have you put together? Lets do this thing.

[knightime]

Well maybe you should prove me wrong because I basically think it's nonexistent at this point.

[Oh..suddenly he's nervous.] Yeah. We need to head back to the house.

[longwinded]

Eh, I don't feel like it.

[John stands up. Straightening his clothing out.] Well. Let's go!

[knightime]

Then I'll just keep thinking you're full of shit.

[Dave takes a casual pace back. Of course he wouldn't go rushing off.]

[longwinded]

[John takes stride with Dave. Hands in his pockets.]

Whatever you want to think dude! But I really want to know what to expect when we get back home you know.

[knightime]

It's a surprise, John. Ever heard of surprises? You know, those things where you can't know until it hits you in the face?

[It won't hit you in the face though.]

[longwinded]

Well you should know by now that I like to be the one doing the surprising. I'm just waiting for something to pop out and hit me square in the jaw.

[No Dave, he isn't doubting you. Just questioning your logic.]

[knightime]

Nothing is going to hit you in the face, surprise.

[Oh look, it's their house.]

[longwinded]

[....Oh boy. This is their house, definitely. John stands right at the door.]

Should I uh, go in or something?

[knightime]

John, do I have to hold your hand?

[He just heads inside. Sheesh.]

[longwinded]

[He follows.]

Okay Dave, what is this huge surprise you have for me? I'm dying to know.

[knightime]

Hold your horses. [He makes his way over to the piano.]

You know how hard it is to think of a decent gift for you in a couple of days? This place must have thought it would be funny if I went and scrambled around because it knocked me out for a month.

[longwinded]

[John stands behind Dave at the piano. Oh boy, what was even going to be happening here. John is ever so curious.]

Dave, do you suddenly know how to play the piano?
