The theme of Bridgette's tenth birthday is 'Disney Princess meets crazy artist'.

The Cooper farm has balloons out front. Inside the living room are streamers made of colourful paper. Bridgette's drawings are tacked up along the walls - which includes everything from unicorns and rainbows to red and pink lumps being gnawed on by black birds and

Presents!

[wearsredhelmet]

You did bring them, right? That was part of the deal to get to this fantabulously wonderful birthday party!

...Actually, Bridgette's so distracted she really doesn't notice.

Nhim is waiting outside patiently with her gift-she's hoping somebody can take inside for her. Dragons and doorways are, alas, not a good mix. She glance around curiously, ears pricked forward as she watches the party.

Oliver, free from horse duty for the moment, waves to Nhim as he approaches.

"Hello there!"

Nhim drops the wrapped up sword from her mouth-she doesn't really have any other way to carry it-and nods a greeting. "Hello, Oliver. Enjoying the party?"

Cake!

[wearsredhelmet]

Claire made the cake, and now it's time to eat it!

And Claire's still packing up, actually.

She has white icing on her nose.

You do know you're getting a hug, right Claire?

It's a quick one, but it's still a hug.

Re: Cake!

[lilmsmiraclegro]

Hugs are cool. Claire can hug back, even.

"Happy Birthday!"

Indoor Games

[wearsredhelmet]

Pin the Tail on the Donkey is set up, and so's Monopoly.

Who wants to try their hand at either?

Thomas arrives, eventually, with a box wrapped in newspaper. Inside is a real tiara, gold with diamonds.

It's probably best not to ask him where he got it from.

[wearsredhelmet]

When Bridgette unwraps it, you better bet she's wearing it when she runs over to squeal at him.

"This is so pretty!" She waves her plastic fairy wand for emphasis. "I'm gonna wear it every day!"

[transbender]

"Well, hey if that's what you want..." He tilts his head to one side. "Might wanna save it for special occasions, so it doesn't get all trashed up, right?"

[wearsredhelmet]

A bit offended, "I won't trash it up! Ever! It's too splendid for that."

Pony Rides

[sworntoalostgod]

Or horsie rides, anyway.

Oliver stands patiently by Beauregard, looking somewhat bored as Beau nibbles the nearby grass.

"What's goin' on?" Hey, Oliver! Want a clueless teenager? Because there's one here!

Re: Pony Rides

[sworntoalostgod]

Oliver brightens. "Miss Belmont - hello! I'm allowing Beau to be ridden for entertainment at Miss Dubois's birthday party. She sweet-talked me into it."

In reality, she demanded his horse, and, being the helpful sort, he agreed. There was very little sweetness about it.

Re: Pony Rides

"Birthday party, huh?" People have parties for that, now? Whoa.

"I bet you're just lovin' that, huh, Beau?" She pats the horse's neck with a sympathetic smile.
