Where: Pandora
What: Birthday Party
Warnings: None.
Open: To Sullys, Sully significant others/dates and Sookie Stackhouse. Open to more than one thread, subthreads, etc;

Izzy was beyond happy to be Na'vi on her birthday. The decorations were minimal, because there was nothing prettier than Pandora in her mind. There was plenty of food, both human and Na'vi, in case not everyone was Na'vi through the door. The birthday girl was currently playing basketball, but would be quick to greet any new arrivals to the party. She was especially hoping to see both her mothers, even if Mommy didn't know they were a family. She doubted she'd be allowed to walk away from the compound; the wilderness was dangerous. But maybe, just maybe, after the party Uncle Jake would give her a ride on Banshee so she could see it from the sky. For now, she was content to celebrate where it was safe.

	"Best birthday ever huh?" Rhiannon asked, smiling at the daughter's happiness. She was particularly glad Izzy was Na'vi, it would make for a birthday that could be unforgettable for the right reasons. Especially if Charlie came. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"It really is!" Izzy replied and took a shot at the basket, getting the ball through the net easily. "Being Na'vi is awesome!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jake made his way round to the Avatar compound, Banshee flying on ahead to sun himself on the roof of the Avatar compound, carrying his present for Izzy behind his back. Rhi was probably going to kick his ass when she saw it, a hand-carved flute-like instrument with the Omaticaya rune burned into it on the back. It was small enough that it was just a bit awkward for his human hands (he'd tested this by turning on the charm to make him look tawtute and trying to play it once he'd finished making it) so he was pretty certain it'd be fine for Izzy.

He grinned as he spotted Izzy and her mom at the basketball court and made his way over towards them both. "Oel ngati kameie," he greeted them both, giving them both a little salute and bow as he spoke, while the beads in his braids gently clattered together. "Awnga lu ftxozä si ngeyä trr’ongokx!" he continued, before carefully holding out the little wooden flute to Izzy. "krrpe nga lu tawtute," he added quickly, unaware that he'd spoken entirely in Na'vi.

Izzy set the basketball down and looked up at her Uncle Jake, trying to understand as much as she could. "I see you too, Uncle Jake. And..um..birthday!" She recognized that word from when she'd learned a Na'vi version of 'Happy Birthday' to sing to her Aunt Neytiri one year. "Are you saying happy birthday? Thank you!" She looked at the flute in his hands and was very tempted to take it from him. "That's very pretty, is it for me?"

"... uh, I guess speaking in English would help," he said with a sheepish smile, finally realizing his mistake. "Sorry, I've been talking in Na'vi almost the whole time I've been here. The flute is your present. I made it myself, but it's for when you're human."

He handed it over, and then reached up to catch hold of one of his braids. There were dozens of colored clay beads threaded onto it, so he wouldn't miss some of them. He took off an even dozen, and then reached for Izzy's hand. "Would you hold these for me, please?" he asked, before pouring the beads into her hand. "And then turn around and tilt your head to the side a bit. I'll give you a proper Na'vi braid, yeah? Aunt Neytiri might even add to it later for you!"

"It's okay. I like learning Na'vi. I was gonna learn it in school before I came back in time." Izzy looked at the flute in her hands, taking in every detail. "You made this? That's so cool! Are you gonna show me how to play it when we're human?"

Izzy held the beads in one hand, and her flute in the other, being very careful not to drop either. "Yeah!" She said, turning around and tilting her head as instructed. "We'll have to take a picture of it when it's done!"

"I'll do my best to show you, but I ain't all that good at music. Maybe JR or Juliet can help?" he suggested as he crouched down, his fingers moving quickly as he braided a small section of her hair. He was surprisingly good at it, keeping it neat and tidy as he reached round and picked a couple of the beads to weave into the braid as he worked. Once that part was finished, he threaded the remaining beads on and then fixed everything with a couple of leather ties so that nothing would fall off.

"There, I'm done. Aunt Neytiri'll probably tidy it up and make it all kinds of pretty for you when she gets at it. But it looks great on you already! What do you think?"

"Yeah, they're good at musical stuff." Izzy agreed, staying still while he worked. "Maybe they can teach me some songs and I could put on a flute concert for the family."

"I love it." Izzy declared, holding the braid and looking at it as best she could. "Did Aunt Neytiri teach you how to braid hair? Do you think she'd teach me? Are there mirrors around here?" She asked one excited question after the other and shook her head playfully to make the braid fly in front of her face. "The beads are so pretty."

Jake just grinned as Izzy asked all her questions. "Aunt Neytiri did teach me, yeah. We're the only two Na'vi back on the Island, so she had to so that I could get my hair looking vaguely okay. But now that we're here, I got my hair done properly again, with new beads and ties and everything. And now you've got some of them," he explained, reaching over to brush most of her hair back from her face so she could see the beads a bit better.

"I'm sure Aunt Neytiri would teach you too, if you ask her. There's all kinds of different braids to learn. And there are mirrors in the Avatar dorm," he said, pointing out the big building that Banshee was currently sunbathing on.

	"I've got them and they're so cool." Izzy touched the beads very gingerly, not wanting to accidentally unravel the braid. "Can I keep them, even when the door closes?" Izzy gave a little nod. "I'll ask her." She looked over at the building. "Banshee looks comfortable." She said with a giggle. "Do you want to go over there so I can look in a mirror?" (Reply to this) (Parent)

Tommy didn't like the facemasks, but he also didn't like the whole "unconscious within 20 seconds, dead within 4 minutes" bit, so he put up with them. He was also wondering if the door was deliberately not turning him Na'vi. Granted, it'd be pretty hard to work with all the computer stuff if he did turn Na'vi, and he'd be smacking his head off of doorframes and the pipes in the corridors all the time, but he'd like to try it once. There was still over a month left, so there was still a chance it could happen.

Glancing round once the airlock was sealed, he looked to see if Isa was there yet, and then went over to see Izzy and give her the present he'd made for her.

"Uncle Tommy!" Izzy called out when she saw him and ran over with a wide grin. "Hi! Welcome to my birthday party!" She hoped he didn't mind not being Na'vi. She'd have to remember not to point out how tall she was now, even if it was tempting. She couldn't even offer him a piece of cake while they were outside. How would he eat it with the mask in the way?

"Are you having fun?" She asked.

Jake and Sunila and ????

Jake really liked not needing to use the link unit for the Avatar, and Sunila was right about how the Force felt on Pandora (not that he was anywhere near an expert on how the Force felt anywhere). He intended to grab his older self at some point and demand that they go climbing somewhere cool (maybe head up to where the ikran roosted, although he had no intentions of actually trying to bond with one, he just wanted to climb some real actual floating mountains) but for now, he'd catch up with his family and wish Izzy a happy birthday.

His shields were as strong as he could make them, which seemed to be a lot stronger than back on the island, so he felt like he could be around more people than usual which was a good thing. He spotted his older self, and blinked at the change in him. It wasn't just the different hair or the big collar-chest piece thing he was wearing; Jake even stood different. Without thinking, he reached out with the Force and brushed against his other self's mind, smiling over when he looked round and they made eye-contact. "Never been so happy," he muttered, then reached down to take Sunila's hand.

Sunila held Jake's hand and squeezed it gently. There was warmth in her gaze and a smile on her face, as she looked up at him. Of all the strange twists and turns that came with island life, getting to be Na'vi on Pandora with her Jake, was definitely one of the best - especially since she knew what it meant to him. It was like a dream come true. Knowing his shields were working well only made it better.

"We should stay here as long as we can." She'd do whatever she could think of to keep him this happy, after he'd be struggling with the force island-side. "We make an awesome blue couple." She then reached out with the force. 'I love you.'</s>

	"I love you too," he replied, smiling even more with how much easier it was to use the Force here. Although it could have been all the practice he'd been doing, too. Leaning in, he breathed in the scent that he knew was unique to his Sunila, his Mate, and then gave her a brief kiss on the lips. "C'mon, let's go see the birthday girl."

	Sunila kissed him back, knowing she'd want to give him a longer kiss later when his family wasn't around. "Good idea." She said, holding his hand as they walked over to Izzy. "Happy Birthday, Iz." She called out. "Toss me the ball." "Thanks Aunt Suni." Izzy replied, passing her the ball. Sunila let go of Jake's hand to catch the ball and spin it on her finger. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Charlie had been surprised to get an invitation to Izzy's birthday party (in Pandora, O.M.G. best party EVAH!). She wasn't at all sure what she was expecting or what was expected of her but it felt mean to turn down a little girl's invitation. Especially to such a cool place. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Jay had felt so in his element. He hadn't wanted to go back through the door in case he wouldn't be Na'vi again and then be unable to explore properly and end up keeping Tommy company.

As it was, he was still Na'vi and he knew a few other people were, so Izzy's party was going to be interesting. He had gotten her a gift - he had had it a while, before he became 'Jake of the Jungle' as Tommy had christened him - that he hoped she would like.
