Happy Heart
So recently I added Heart to my MSN and we got to chatting and she said that she really wanted another Pan-meeting because... Well, Pan-meetings are awesome. But the problem was that Dina was apparently busy for the whole 2 weeks that Heart was here and then Heart would have to go back to camp for a while. :(

Miraculously I get a hold of Dina and ask how busy her schedule is and it's pretty busy but I managed to pry open a friday night for us (Albert, me and Dina) to hang. I don't tell her Heart is coming.
I get back to Heart and tell her we should just crash Dina's house and we'll camp there until she arrives. Heart doesn't know I've already told Dina we're coming. She's very happy and excited and we joke around about how Dina's just going to say "Get out!" and stare at us from her window. Very silly. She also says she'll bake Pandect cookies for the occasion.
So I knew Heart had her birthday while she was at camp and I didn't know how cool of a party she had (if she had one at all). I thought it'd be super cool to spend your birthday party with Dina so I was going to turn this into a birthday party so I went to a bakery with a horrible pixely printout of Edgar with a bow and requested a black forest cake with it (black forest is full of chocolatey awesome). This was one day before the meeting and the bakery said they require three days notice for special designs on cake. So I whipped out some asian negotiating skills and got them to get it ready for me the next day.
*Pocket Organizer mode off*
*Day of the Pan-meet*
I go to the bakery pick up the cake (very impressed with how it turned out) and then Albert comes over and picks me up. We drive to Finch station to pick up Heart... And meet Heart's super concerned mom. "Where are you going? When will you be back? Be back at 9:30!" (It was 8:30 by then) D:
After a bunch of fake promises we head over to Dina's. Heart is occupied with some secret Dina comics I am in possession of. The cake is in the trunk.
So we ring the doorbell and Dina opens the door and SURPRISE! We brought Heart! I tell them to go inside first because I left something in the car. I sneak the cake in while Dina and Heart are talking. Heart shows Dina the cookies while I secretly light a little blue and white candle and C-C-C-COMBO SURPRISE! Heart gets a birthday cake! (With a typo because Chinese bakers, although skilled in the culinary arts, sometimes don't plan out their spacing so well.)
So we all enjoy some awesome cake and Dina's special chibi cokes while we chat about Pandect, cosplaying, Titus in a thong, and all sorts of silly junk. Heart gets a little bit of a preview of the next few pages of Pandect and gets some free birthday loot from Dina. Albert takes pictures randomly and I'm just happy that it didn't fail horrendously.
Stuff happens.
We hang out at Dina's pretty late (12:30?) and Albert and I don't think Heart will be safe taking public transport home so we drive her all the way home and then I get a big hug from Heart. <3
...Albert also gets a hug. lol
And we all lived happily ever after. The end.
