Heehee. ^^ A whole year... hard to believe, but it's official, my first lil' darlin' has now been with me an entire 365 days... :) Which makes today, Ni's birthday. ^____^
I have decided to age her character (and likely will age everyone's character at their own birthdays, at least for the first couple years). So. Ni is turning "17" today. Yay! XD
Happy Birthday, Niamh!
Ni: ^_^ *giggles with a sweet smile* Thanks, guys...
Halla: *tugs on her arm* Come on, sit. :)
Doyle: So... what are we doing today again?
Con: ... Cake.... the Birthday song... presents. We'll do presents later with everybody when we go out. You still remember the words to the song?
Doyle: ... I think so.
Con: *snaps open his guitar case and gets ready*
Doyle: *going over the words again in his head*
me: Everybody ready?
Con: Ready.
everybody (minus Ni, of course) sings: Happy Birthday to you...
Happy Birthday to you...
Happy Birthday dear Niiiiiiamh!!!! (*distinctly heard by Con: --dear Loser...*)
me: *smacks Con upside the head*
*pause as the music stops for a muffled 'ow' and twin giggles from Doyle and Ni*
starting up again: Happy Birthday to you!
Con: And now for the good version. *smirks, nods to Doyle*
Doyle: *smiling a bit nervously as Con starts to play, he sings, blushing a little, his voice a silver thread in the air, light and beautiful*
Don't you ever lose your smile,
Don't let them fade away style,
When a birthday comes around another year.
And don't believe in what they say,
About how beauty goes away,
You are still something beautiful today.
Oh if you let the river take your soul,
You will never be too old,
'Cause when your birthday comes around,
You'll be free...
Don't you ever lose your sheen,
If your soul's still seventeen,
'Cause in a heart nothing will ever change your dreams.
So live for nothing but today,
Don't let time push you away,
So greet the gentle holiday,
With another candle burning away.
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, to you...*
Ni: *beaming* That was beautiful... Thank you, Doyle... *giggles* For saving us from listening to my brother sing that! :P
Doyle: *blushing* My pleasure.
Con: :P
Ni: Now for cake!! :D
Doyle: ... There are no plates.
Ni: ... True.
Ni: *shrugs* Not a problem! ^____^
Ni: We'll just eat with our hands!
Doyle: ... >_> umm...
Con: You heard 'er, dig in!
Halla: *sighs, shaking her head*
Ni: Who wants the first piece?
* Note: Second birthday song lyrics by Zeeza.
OMAKE:
she's so purty. XD
I just loved Doyle's expression here, like... nuh-uh, I'm gonna need a plate... and a fork... XD
In conclusion, Yay! One year old already... My, how time flies. o_0 I can't believe it's been so long...
