Those Unforgettable Days

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri invited just about the whole town to her birthday party, or anyone who would pick up the phone, and if anyone comes by 2242 Stevens Road they'll see the house with some shades out, a badminton net in the front yard, and a floating holographic screen with what looks to be anime in the back yard.  There was a sort of attempt at decorating, in a

Garage

[If you can get past the UPS system that takes up a quarter of the garage and the several electronic tools, the area has been cleaned out and heavily air conditioned for people who don't like the summer or loud]

Hiding protag!

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri spends a lot of the time during the day in here. She doesn't seem comfortable with crowds or heat but is trying to be a good hostess, but she'll always return here.]

[ To be honest, Nadeko isn't too good with crowds too.. but she promised Ruri that she would come to the party, so she would just have to put herself past that fear for her friend's sake. After a little while it becomes a bit too much for her though, so she semi-flees into the garage to get away from the crowd.. But then she spots Ruri as well. ]

A-ah! Good day! [ She makes a quick, somewhat nervous and on edge bow. ] Happy birthday!

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri hops up with a start, then blinks and smiles]

"I'm glad you could come Nadeko... You found my hiding space."

[imoutosnake]

To be honest.. [ She giggles, a bit awkwardly. ] I was trying to hide a little bit too.

It's really busy out there..

[hontobakabaka]

[She nods]

"It really is busy. I've never done something like this before, it was always someone else's idea."

[imoutosnake]

There are so many people on your birthday party.. it must be really nice to have that many friends, right? Especially in a place like this.

[hontobakabaka]

"To be fair, there are other people sharing my birthday. I just threw one big party. But... Its nice to have friends. I mean you came and that makes me happy."

[imoutosnake]

E-eh..?

[ She looks a little surprised. ]

You're happy just because I came to your birthday party..?

[hontobakabaka]

"I am."

[She nods]

[imoutosnake]

That makes me.. feel really happy. It gives me a really warm feeling inside, ehehe.

In that case, if I can make you happy just by coming to your birthday party, I'll make sure to come next time too if we're still both here!

[hontobakabaka]

"And if you have one I'd love to come to yours."

[She nods]

[imoutosnake]

.. E-eh? Would you really come to my birthday party if I had one..?

[hontobakabaka]

"Of course I would. Why?"

[imoutosnake]

Hmm, that just.. makes me really glad! I haven't had many friends on birthday parties before..

[hontobakabaka]

"Truth be told, normally its just my crew and this is all a new experience for me too."
