~ August 22, 7 am. The darkness with a small clarity invaded the neighborhood along with the silence, broken by some cars that passed at dawn. Gru, Dru, and the girls were in the lab preparing for Lucy's birthday party. The lab was filled with balloons, a small table with gifts, confetti and a large chocolate cake, Lucy's favorite. The girls were decorating the place, Dru and Gru planning with Nefario what they would do later, when Lucy wakes up. They were thinking of doing a gymkhana after breakfast, where under Lucy's cup would be a card with clues that would lead her to other clues and finally to the lab. Gru, Dru, and the girls would come up with some lame excuse to go to the lab while. Everything was perfect and planned. After hiding the clues, they quietly went to sleep again.
It was 10 in the morning, the alarm clock had already gone off. The redhead woke up happily and woke up Gru but she was surprised when she saw that he just said good morning to her. They directly woke up the girls and went to breakfast. Lucy was very surprised that no one congratulated her, even worried that they had forgotten her birthday. They finished breakfast and quickly, Gru and the girls gathered their plates and cups and went to the living room, leaving Lucy alone at the table and even more missed. Everything changed when when she lifted the saucer where she had the cup, she saw a small white letter. She carefully opened it and read the text it contained: "If the other clue you want to find, a furry white friend will give it to you." Lucy immediately knew where to go and went to Lucky's yard. He had a turquoise blue neckband with another letter attached. She carefully removed the tape from Lucky and opened the letter: "The other clue you can find is where the three kittens are going to dream."
After deciphering that clue, she went to the girls' room and found the following clue in a heart attached to the wall: "You're on the right track if you find the other clue on the couch."
She made her way to the sofa and after much searching, she found the clue under a pillow: "The final place is underground."
Finally, she went down to the lab. As she went down, she could appreciate the beautiful decoration that the place had. Lucy can't help but get excited. She barely opened the capsule when she reached the bottom, she found the whole family and the minions surrounding her, shouting "Happy Birthday!" and the minions throwing confetti. A tear of happiness slipped from Lucy's cheek and she quickly went to hug the family. ~
Gru: Did you really think we'd forget about your birthday?
- Lucy: Silly, the laps you've made me do around the house.
Gru: It was the girls' idea...
- Lucy: I really appreciate this detail... you are so charming!
- Gru: There are still many surprises to come, we just have to wait for the guests to come so that the party can continue!
~ And so it was. They stayed doing some things and when the guests came they started the party. It was a great day of happiness for Lucy and she was really having a good time, although it was not the last thing they would do. After the guests left and the place was cleaned up, Gru proposed that they go out for dinner and Lucy accepted. As soon as they were dressed, they said goodbye to the girls and Dru and went straight to Lucy's car. From there, they left and Gru, who was driving, decided to take Lucy to a small restaurant next to the park where they went in one of the previous episodes. ~
- Waiter: Good evening, what do you want?
- Gru: Bring me 1 bottle of water and 2 glasses, please. Surprise me with food.
- Waiter: Excellent, I'll bring you the drinks right now.
~ As soon as the waiter left, Lucy approached Gru ~
- Lucy: Do you really think that asking for anything is a good idea? - She said between laughs. -
- Gru: I would have ordered two glasses of wine but you know perfectly well that I can't drive after drinking one and that it's not recommended for babies... And food, nah, I have better things to show you later.
- Lucy: Surprise me. -she said between laughs.-
Gru: You'll see. Although we shouldn't be up too late or tomorrow we'll be asleep for the ultrasound. I don't think it's good to miss that day.
- Lucy: Right... what nerves.
~ The waiter interrupts the conversation by bringing a bottle of water and two glasses. ~
- Waiter: The food is a little short. Specialty of the house. He says and goes to the kitchen. -
Gru: Thank you very much.
- Lucy: Something tells me this is going to end badly..
~ Minutes pass. The friendly waiter approaches with a plate full of…Oysters!~
- Waiter: Oysters. House specialty, enjoy it. -He says as he leaves.-
- Gru: Well...
- Lucy: Surprise me you said...
- Gru: Well, let's try them at least... hehehe...
~ Lucy grabs one of the oysters and starts trying to get the meat out of it with a knife. She puts force but the meat is stuck. The meat was about to be removed but… boom, it flew like a catapult right into Gru's face. ~
-Lucy: God ..-She said trying to hide her laughter. -
- Gru: Well... I better open them, honey. -he says as he takes the oyster off his head. -
~ Gru starts to remove the meat from two oysters. When he gets it, he gives one to Lucy and the other he keeps for himself to taste. The two put the piece of oyster in their mouths, but quickly they start looking at each other and quickly swallow it. ~
Gru: I definitely shouldn't have said that.
- Lucy: Well hahaha, a new experience.
- Gru: I better ask for the bill and we'll go now...
~ Gru proceeds to ask for the bill and pay. From there, they leave and go to the car. He drives to a street, parks, and then drives Lucy from a highway to the big mall. The same one where they had the first mission. ~
- Lucy: Oh, I didn't expect you to bring me to this place!
- Gru: And this is not the only thing... Follow me
~ Lucy went after Gru very curious to know where he was taking her. He kept walking until he stopped in front of a peculiar well-known store... The bakery where they had the first mission. ~
- Gru: You must remember this place, right?
- Lucy: Why not, silly? If we had our first mission here... and you asked me to marry you...
- Gru: Hehehe yes.. you almost knocked me to the ground when I showed you the ring..
- Lucy: Oh honey, that was one of the best moments of my life..
- Gru: I know... Come in, I want to give you something!
- Lucy: Okay!
~ Lucy walks in curiously behind Gru. He proceeds to tell her to stay at the counter while he goes to the kitchen. Suddenly, he comes out with a cute chocolate cupcake wrapped in orange fondant with a candle. Astonished Lucy grabs the cupcake delicately. ~
- Lucy: Gru this.. is lovely!
Gru: Happy birthday. Blow out the candle and make a wish.
- Lucy: What can I wish for if I have everything I need... When did you do it? -She said after slightly blowing out the candle. -
- Gru: The last day before the AVL vacation they sent me to clean this compound. I thought I'd prepare something for you and save it, since I made it 2 days ago... I hope you like it!
- Lucy: Oh, but it's great! Much better than oysters. - She said as she took a bite of the cupcake. -
- Gru: Without a doubt hahaha.
~ The couple spent some time in the bakery until it got late and they decided to go back. The way back to the car was a one kilometer road and it was starting to get cool. Lucy felt it and started to feel cold and Gru noticed. ~
Gru: Are you cold?
- Lucy: A little... nothing special, don't worry.
~ Gru proceeds to remove his scarf and wrap it around Lucy's neck. ~
Gru: Better?
- Lucy: It wasn't necessary... but it's comfortable and warm.
- Gru: I'll lend it to you until we get to the car. - He says winking. -
~ They kept walking together holding hands and got to the car. From there, Gru went to the house and after they had changed their clothes, brushed their teeth and got ready for bed, they lay down to sleep peacefully. ~
- Gru: Rest honey.
- Lucy: Thank you for such an incredible day..
- Gru: It's nothing, I'm glad everything went well.
- Lucy: Tell it to the oysters..
-Gru: Well, almost everything... -He said before falling asleep while he hugged Lucy from behind. -
