I'm 16 today and I almost totally forgot! At least I'm not gonna sleep through this birthday. It's weird, I always thought 16 would be a really big birthday, but I don't feel that much older

Let it out don't hold it in, sing it loud as you can, Happy Birthday to you!

Sixteen; that's a big year, m'friend. I guess there aren't to many cars to drive around here, but that doesn't change that it's a good good age to be at. Eat your fill, 'cos it only comes once a year!

[optimistickey]

Cars? We never had cars on the Islands...

Thanks! You can have some cake too, Spin!

[eba05]

Yep, cars! Sixteen's the age you can start drivin' where I'm from--I couldn't get my license fast enough.

Ah--I appreciate the offer, but I wouldn't wanna take up your treat.

[optimistickey]

Oh! Well if it's not that different from driving a gummi ship, that shouldn't be a problem.

No, it's okay! The whole point of cake's so that everyone can have some!

Gummi ship... never driven one of those, but I'd bet they're pretty similar to cars.

Ah... well, thanks, Sora.

[optimistickey]

I think so. Except the cars here seem to use wheels instead of steering bars like the ships had.

[eba05]

See, then you're ahead of the learning curve for all that! You're lucky, gettin' practice before you hit the age.

Man, now I wanna try drivin' one of those...

[optimistickey]

Awesome!

Although I don't think the cars here come with laser cannons. And it'll be nice to drive a car instead of having to fight them!

If we ever get off this world, I'll show you how to fly one!

[eba05]

Naw, that doesn't come standard issue.

That would be awesome, m'friend.

[optimistickey]

Too bad. They'd be much cooler with laser cannons.

You're tellin' me! I have a hard enough time gettin' out of the car as it is. They'd have to yank me from the controls of that.
