this has nothing to do with the plot right now, and there are no fan interactions. MC deserves a good birthday party.

"WAKE UP!!!"
(M/N) groaned, rolling over on his bed. (P/N) mewled as he moved, since she was curled up on his pillow with him, but soon relaxed when he stopped moving.
"Leave me alone, George," he grumbled. "I want to sleep in."
"Who're you calling George?"
His senses returned, and his eyes flew open. He sat up immediately.
Tommy was at his doorway.
The blonde crossed his arms. "Get up, we're taking you somewhere for your birthday."
"It's... my birthday?"
"Are you that dense," He sneered, then sighed. "Yeah, it is. The others are waiting."
"Get out of my room then!" (M/N) yelled, throwing one of his pillows at him. "I need to go get changed!"
"Ouch- hey! What the hell you son of a bi-"
"GET OUT!"
Tommy left the room, spouting curses, and he sat up on his bed, cradling (P/N). He sighed, stroking her ears.
"I totally forgot it was my birthday today," He murmured. "Well, I gotta go get changed before another person charges into my room."
As he quickly got changed out of his pajamas, he set down (P/N) for her to run off, and he walked into the hallway into the kitchen- just to stop at the sight.
"Why is everybody here??"
George shook his head while (M/N) saw the group of people in their small living room: His friends from college, Wilbur, Tommy, Toby, Floris, and Niki. "This is just a small portion of the number of people going to be at your birthday party."
The (H/C) shook his head slowly. "It's just my twentieth birthday. What makes it so special that this many people-" He gestured to the group at the living room, and Tommy gave him double middle-fingers. "-come?"
Niki beamed at him. "We want to make this birthday special for you! It isn't every year that you're turning twenty!"
"I... guess," He said, scratching the back of his neck. "You said there's going to be more. Who, exactly?"
"You'll see when we get there," Noah said, slinging his arm over his shoulder. "And guess what? We're taking you to..."
"Bum bum bump," Tyler hummed under his breath. Floris shot him a look.
"Borley Rectory!" Noah smirked.
Niki shook her head vigorously. "I don't know why I agreed to this."
"What's that?" He asked, turning to her. She shuddered.
Andrew grinned. "It's supposedly the 'most haunted house in England'. We know you're a sucker for horror attractions, so we decided on this."
(M/N) nodded in realization, smiling along with his friend. "That sounds fun."
"Naturally," Wilbur said. "We'll head in there when it gets dark. But during the day, we're just going to hang outside."
"Nice!" He exclaimed, watching Niki and Shelly play with (P/N). "Well, let's get ready to leave, shall we?"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, (M/N)!!!!"
"(M/N)! CONGRATS BEING TWENTY YEARS OLD!"
"Wait, your real name is (M/N)?"
"Ranboo! Eret! Puffy!" He greeted the three streamers with a bright smile. "Thank you so much for meeting us!"
Ranboo shrugged. This was (M/N)'s the first time seeing him without the glasses or the mask, to be honest, he looked younger than he anticipated. Then again, the guy's a flipping minor. Puffy was just as imagined- so was Eret.
"(M/N)!"
He barely had time to turn around as three guys tackled him down to the ground.
One of them, being Alex, blew one of those birthday noisemakers in his face. Karl was in his Stitch onesie, and Nick had one of those stupid party hats. Even though they looked like kids, it had (M/N) laughing.
"Happy birthday!" Alex said around his noisemaker. "Welcome to the twenty squad!"
"Took you long enough," Nick commented, though he was grinning widely.
Two other people looked down on him: Clay and Techno.
Techno jabbed a finger on his forehead. "I still haven't forgiven you about the MCC. But... happy birthday, I guess."
Clay shook his head at him, smiling. "Me neither, but do you see me grouching over it? No."
Nick, Alex, and Karl got off of (M/N) and helped him stand up, officially greeting the two. "Hey, guys! Clay, already seen you," He bit back a smile as the blonde's smile faltered. "And Techno, nice to meet you face-to-face!"
He grunted. "Same to you. I guess."
The (H/C) male sighed. "Well, that makes around.. two dozen people? Who else is here?"
"Phil, Sam, Callahan, Bad, Skeppy, and Connor," Clay listed off, then blinked. "Jeez- that's actually a lot of people."
"No kidding," Techno said. "You heard what we're going to do tonight?"
(M/N) grinned darkly. "Yep. Can't wait to sneak up on you guys."
Clay looked nervous. "You- you wouldn't would you?"
"It depends..."
"Oi! (M/N)!" Tommy walked up to them. "As much as I love torturing Dream, we've got stuff to do before tonight. Come on!"
"Like what?" He asked as he followed the blonde back to the main crowd, who were setting up for lunch.
"Well, Skeppy brought Spike Ball," He said, shoving his hands into his pockets. "And Tyler has this weird game that you sit under a lot of water balloons being held up by sticks, and everybody takes turns taking a stick out."
"Risky yet fun," (M/N) commented. "I would volunteer, but-."
"Great!" Tommy shouted, to his surprise. "Guys, we got our first sacrifice!"
It was hilarious when half of the people turned their heads simultaneously to him and Tommy: Tyler, Skeppy, Karl, Alex, Callahan, Darren, Schlatt, and Nick. He paled a little after seeing their expressions.
Tyler went up to him, shoving him towards the chicken-fence tower filled with water balloons and sticks. "Awesome! Now, (M/N), this way."
"Wait!" He exclaimed, digging his heels into the ground. No use, Alex and Darren joined in pushing him. "I don't have a spare pair of clothes!"
"I packed them for you," George called out to him. He was, unsurprisingly, laying down on the blanket, a bag of chips in his hand. "They told me about it, so I knew it was coming."
The reassurance helped him relax a bit, and the three put him right under the tower.
Water balloons had never looked so terrifying in his life.
Schlatt walked up to the tower first. "I'm going first."
He was looking closely at the array of sticks, and (M/N) knew he was trying to choose one that would be the quickest in drenching him. Fortunately, when he pulled out one, the balloons didn't budge a single bit. He swore that he heard the man curse under his breath.
"I'm next!" Puffy said, then walked up to quickly take a stick out.
Everybody took their turn taking out the sticks. The first person to actually move the balloons was Toby, and (M/N) couldn't decide who was more scared about that- him or Toby.
Until, this happened.
Schlatt was too damn impatient.
"Oh, f*ck this," He said, then walked over and pulled out at least half of the sticks.
All of the balloons fell on (M/N).
"SCHLATT!" Toby shrieked. "Why would you do that?"
"Oh god," Alex wheezed, doubling over. "He- he actually did that-"
Everybody was busy laughing whereas he just sat in the grass, soaked. Tyler wiped a tear from his eye and shook his head at him, laughing while smiling.
"Very funny, guys," (M/N) grumbled.
---
"Well," Wilbur said. "It's time to get inside."
Niki gulped, Puffy hatting her shoulder. "Am I the only one who doesn't want to do this?"
"Probably," Ranboo said. "This looks fun."
"Alright," George said, yawning a bit. "We're going to be split into groups of four: Bad, Clay, Nick, and Karl. Floris, Will, Niki, Me. (M/N), Tommy, Ranboo and Toby-"
"Alright!" Tommy interrupted him, grabbing the other three. "We're heading in!"
"Wait-!"
(M/N) barely had time to turn on his flashlight as they went into the house. Tommy's steps didn't falter as they went deeper into the house, while Toby was clinging into him and Ranboo lingered in the back. It didn't help that he was towering over them- it felt like they were being stalked.
"This is creepy," Toby clarified, and Tommy snorted. (M/N) just sighed.
"Ranboo, what do you have in your bag?"
The male fumbled with his backpack. "Uhm... a blinky-thing, four flashlights, and a walkie-talkie."
"The blinky-thing is called an EMF," (M/N) said. "To sense... whatever shit a supposed ghost gives off."
Tommy scoffed. "I don't believe in ghosts."
"I do," Ranboo countered. Toby sighed.
(M/N) shook his head. "Cmon, you three. Let's continue."
The four of them walked down through the halls, sweeping their flashlights across the pitch-black house. He swore he heard Ranboo shriek when the EMF went up to two and back to one. Otherwise, it was an uncomfortable, quiet trek.
Suddenly Wilbur's voice came up on the walkie-talkie. "Where are you guys?"
"No- idea..." (M/N) said, realizing their dilemma. Toby rubbed his palms together, looking nervous.
"Shit," He cursed under his breath. "Alright, I'm going to send Tommy the map of this place. Try to look for something so you can pinpoint your location."
Clay and Schlatt came in on the conversation too.
"Any ghost interaction yet?"
"GET ME OUT OF THIS F*CKING PLACE!"
All of them quieted at Schlatt's yell. Tommy snorted into his fist, turning away. (M/N) snickered.
"I SWEAR TO GOD I SAW SOMETHING AT THE END OF THE HALL-"
"Schlatt, calm down-" Techno said, his voice faint.
"HOW THE HELL DO I CALM DOWN WHEN THERE ARE F*CKING GHOSTS??"
"Alright," Tommy snatched the walkie-talkie from him, shutting it off. "Now what?"
"How about we sneak upon them?" (M/N) grinned wickedly. "I'd love to see their faces when we do so."
Ranboo looked hesitant. "I'm not sure..."
The blonde boy scoffed, slapping the taller male in the shoulder, who winced. "Stop being a wuss. It's (M/N)'s birthday, he can do whatever you want."
Creak.
The (H/C) male whirled around as the other three unintentionally moved behind him.
"...Uh, hello?"
"Callahan!" He let out a shaky sigh of relief. "Jesus Christ, you scared me. Where's your group?"
He shrugged. "I was with Schlatt. He kept yelling; it's a surprise that you haven't heard it. Also, I noticed that you guys were going to sneak up on some people? Count me in."
Tommy crossed his arms. He was probably embarrassed that he had used (M/N) as shelter. "Fine. Do you know where the others are?"
"Mhm," Callahan pointed behind him. "I heard Dream's group back there."
(M/N)'s eyes glinted in the dark, and Toby stepped away from him quickly. "Perfect. I promised him, anyways. Ranboo, you're going to go first."
He looked appalled. "Why? Because I'm tall?"
"Exactly."
The taller shook his head. "Alright, then."
