Seven Exchanges

::Al was asleep on the couch. Unaware to him, it was his birthday today. He was now eleven years old. However, he was exhausted after reading through the pile of books next to him. Hopefully, someone would wake him up and greet him joyously.::

::Walking up to Al, almost as if being sneaky, he sets down a small bag next to the boy::

Happy Birthday, Al.

[gentle_alchemy]

Brother..?

[prodigal_hands]

Yeah, it's me.

Heh... sorry if it's a bad time.

[gentle_alchemy]

::Brightens at seeing his brother:: No! I've been wanting to see you!

I didn't even know it was my birthday today.

[prodigal_hands]

Really? If I had known that, then maybe I wouldn't have said anything and saved some money. ::Jokingly, of course::

[gentle_alchemy]

::Shakes head, sighing but with a small smile:: You're awful sometimes, you know that?

[prodigal_hands]

::Laughs a bit::

Well, what's in the bag is what you get. I know it might not be much, but I hope it's good enough.

[gentle_alchemy]

::Opens it up::

[prodigal_hands]

::This thing is in it::

[gentle_alchemy]

Wow! He's so cute! :Hugs it tight::

Thanks, Ed!

[prodigal_hands]

::Very relieved::

That's good. I was worried I'd be too old to pick something appropriate for you.

[gentle_alchemy]

I'm only kidding when I call you an old man.

But I really do like this present... ::Looks down at the Meowth::
