Dedicated to thefangirllyfe HAPPY BIRTHDAY GABSTER

Thunk, thunk, thunk.

A pebble repeatedly smacked against your window.

You groaned and stood up switching on the light. You walked over to your window and peeked out.

Jason stood on the ground below readying his arm for another throw.

You opened the window and held out your hand. "Hold your fire. I'm up." You leaned your head out and looked at him. "Are you trying to break my window?"

He laughed as he kicked off the fm ground and floated up. "No. I just wanted to get your attention."

"Well my attention is captured," you said opening the window further so he could glide in.

He entered your room and landed on the ground with a smile. "I got you something," he said holding out a box wrapped in purple paper and tied with blue and black ribbon.

You reached for it.

He pulled it back. "You get to open it after."

You looked up at him. "After what?"

He walked over you your window and jumped out hovering. "Do you trust me?"

"What kind of question is that?" You asked climbing out the window.

He flew closer to meet you and wrapped his arms around you the way a husband would hold his wife after the wedding ceremony. "Hold on tight."

You had just barely enough time to wrap your arms around his neck before he shot into the air. You buried your face in his shirt to block it from the wind.

He laughed lightly as he flew to who knows where. "Get ready. We're going to go fast."

The wind picked up as you zipped through the air.

The faint sound of music trickled by and the buzz slowly grew louder to where you could hear it clearly.

"Is that Bastille?" you asked, daring to peak out.

The wind stung your eyes, but you could make out a glow on the shore of the lake.

"Maybe." He glided towards the lake and the music grew louder.

As you got closer you made out six people in a closed off space. Purple, blue, and black streamers were strung in the trees alongside the fairy lights that lit up the clearing. A fire burned in the middle and a stereo was perched on a log blaring Bastille.

Jason landed and set you down on the sand.

As soon as you were out of his arms six more pairs wrapped around you and shouted in a chorus, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY GABBY!"

They let you go and you stared into the faces of Lily, Amanda, Via, Rachel, Hannah, and Simp.

You were shell shocked. "What? What's this?"

"Your birthday celebration," Simp said matter-of-factly.

"We couldn't get a cake," Hanna admitted timidly, "but we have marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate."

You smiled at them. "You guys did this all for me?"

"Of course!" Lily said with a grin.

"Why wouldn't we?" Amanda asked.

Jason grinned down at you. "Happy birthday."

A smile crossed your lips. "Thank you all so much."

Via grinned. "Now let's stop talking and get this celebration started!" She turned the volume dial up as Icarus started to play.

The girls started dancing happily urging you to join them.

"Go ahead, Gabby," Jason prodded gently.

You beamed as you ran to join the party.

A playlist of your favorite songs streamed out from the speakers engulfing the eight of you.

After what seemed like forever, Rachel turned down the volume. "Alright. I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving."

Jason nodded in agreement. "How about some celebratory s'mores?"

"Sounds good."

Moments later you were all around the fire with a marshmallow on your sticks.

Jason held his above the fire as he looked at you making goofy faces as he tried to draw a laugh.

You but your lip trying to hold in the laughter, and so far you were winning.

"Jason," Simp started calmly as her marshmallow slowly roasted into a golden brown, "you're on fire."

He looked down to where a small flame had started to smolder on his pant leg. He screamed and threw his marshmallow which had also caught fire in alarm. The burning marshmallow landed in the sand and Jason sprang up and sprinted to the water soaking his pants and part of his shirt in the water.

You couldn't hold it in any more and started cracking up.

He looked up triumphantly. "Well it too being lit on fire, but I did it! I got her to laugh!"

"Yes you did, now get up." Via grinned as Simp passed her the perfect marshmallow and she squished it in between two graham crackers and a piece of chocolate. She stabbed the s'more with a candle and lit it with a smoldering twig from the fire. "It's time for birthday s'mores." She handed it to you. "Now a one-and-a-two."

They all began the chorus of Happy Birthday in their own octaves, some trying to be silly and drag their syllables out, while others were trying to be sincere, but over all, it was one of the best songs ever.

When it was over you closed your eyes and made a wish blowing out the candle.

They all cheered and bit into their s'mores, save for Jason who was looking at his dead s'more in the sand sadly.

You laughed lightly.

He shook out his wet hair and trudged toward you with a grin. "Hey, follow me."

You frowned. "Why?"

"I want to give you your gift. Come on."

You glanced back at the girls who were engrossed in their s'mores before popping yours into your mouth and following him.

He led you down across the surf grazing his feet atop the water. Finally when you were out of ear and eyeshot of the girls he turned to you pulling the box out again. He held it out.

You took the light box and pulled off the ribbon and opened it.

Inside there was a slip of paper with a red kiss mark like one of those cliché notes from the girls.

"What?"

He leaned in and pressed his lips to yours with a smile.

Your heart hammered against your chest at a million miles per hour.

He slowly pulled away and smiled down at you. "Happy birthday Gabby."
