... So, um! I didn't think about it much before, but my birthday's coming up soon! Except... when I left, it had already passed, because, um...it was February! I think.

--So does that mean I turn fifteen twice? Did I go back in time or forward? I don't think I'm ready to be another year older so soon

You could certainly look at it that way if you like, Rorona. Which idea do you like better?

[piealchemist]

I don't want to be sixteen yet.

[expiatrice]

Then let's celebrate your 15th birthday twice. Does that sound good?

[piealchemist]

Yeah, definitely!

[expiatrice]

Then let's go with that. So when is it, Rorona? I can't very well help you celebrate, if I don't know the date.

[piealchemist]

Oh! Um...it's December 12th. It's not for another week or so.

[expiatrice]

About two, I would say. What would you like to do, Rorona? You can certainly invite any friends that you have made over for a party at our house, but if you'd like something more quiet, we could stay in or go out too. That would be up to you.

[piealchemist]

A party sounds great! I want to be able to invite all of my friends here, if they want to come.

[expiatrice]

I can definitely do that. You're free to help with the cleaning, decorating and cooking during the setting up if you want, but I won't press it, and I should be able to handle it myself. You will, however, have to let me know approximately how many people you plan on having over, if there's any preference over the type of food you would want served, and help me out with the cleaning up after everything is over. Can you agree to these terms? I don't think that they're particularly bad ones, either.

[piealchemist]

[Nods] I'll help with those, definitely! I'm not sure how many people are going to come over, though. Well, I asked Hina so far...

[expiatrice]

I'm glad to hear that! Well, the 12th will be a Sunday, so that's a good free day to host it. You will need to let me know about everything before Friday the 10th though, so I can get ready in advance. You have until then to invite more people, so why don't you take that time to ask your friends in school or anywhere else? I do think that I would be interested in meeting them, too!

[piealchemist]

I'll make sure to ask my friends in school tomorrow! And um, figure out where the others live. Thanks, Ciel!

[expiatrice]

Please let me know at around suppertime, then. ...I do apologize for not being home too often in the afternoon, but I am always there to make dinner and for us to eat together, so if there's anything else, don't hesitate to tell me!

[piealchemist]

That's okay, I don't mind! My real parents are almost always on vacation back home, anyway.

[expiatrice]

[Headpat :>]

Then I'll be waiting for it. Would you still want to make a pie, or would you go for a cake?

[piealchemist]

I want to still make a pie, I think! I'm not that good at making cakes.
