Belle had a gallon of ice cream and a cake tucked under her arms as she walked up to Jonas' door. Unable to knock, she kicked softly at, 'poking' Jonas mentally to let him know it was her. Because he totally wouldn't know it was her from her voice.

"Hey! Lemme in!"

	Jonas sprinted to the door, throwing it open without the usual interrogation sequence. "Oh, oh, let me help." He took the ice cream from her and took it to the kitchen table, setting it down. "I already have spoons and plates and bowls and stuff! They're over here." He poked his head out of the kitchen and grinned at her. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	She laughed and followed him. "Thanks for havin' me over." The cake made its way to the table, and she hugged Jonas once her hands were free. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Are you kidding?" he said, hugging her tightly before pulling back with a dramatic flourish. "Sweetheart, how could I possibly stay away from you?" he asked, affecting a film noir drawl. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smirked and kissed his forehead. "Oh no, another addict. Le sigh. I was so hopin' you would be able t' resist my charm." Her smile widened, and she picked up the serving knife. "How's life?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm a lost cause," he lamented.

Life. He thought of the towels from last week, stained red. Thank god they'd gone out with the trash. Aside from that? "Pretty awesome, actually. I've made a couple new friends, been wandering around watching way too many movies, as usual."

He saw her pick up the serving knife and lunged, grabbing her hand. "No. NO. I bought candles and I intend to use them."

	Instinct kicked in before thought had a chance. Her free hand grabbed his wrist, jerking his hand away from the knife, and she pulled it back, ready to move in for a closer strike. With a cake knife. After the initial reaction she relaxed, letting go of Jonas' hand quickly. "Dieu." She shook her head, setting the tool down. "Y' alright?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

To his credit, he wasn't too ruffled. Startled, though, for sure. "Jeez. Remind me not to sneak up on you. You strike like ninja."

He then proceeded to reach across the table, and produced a tiny pack of candles. "Yeah, I'm fine. But you have to tell me how old you are if I'm going to put these on the cake."

He smiled goofily, hoping to defuse the situation. It really wasn't a big deal, to him. So she had insane ninja reflexes--he had grabbed her. His fault.

	"Nineteen." She said, shaking her head. "Hard t' adapt t' real life." Nothing about the Guild or Seattle was even close to the real world, and she knew it. Determined not to bring Jonas down, she smiled a bit. "Seen anything good recently?" Changing topics is a good thing! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That was way more surprising. "...seriously? I mean, I thought..." He fumbled for a way to put it so it wouldn't seem weird, or offensive. "I thought you were in your twenty's, at least. I guess you're just way more mature than me. I'm going to be nineteen in a couple months."

"...no?" he said, and smiled cheekily. "There's nothing good in theaters right now! I even went and saw that Spiderwick Chronicles movie. Laaaaame."

"Not more mature. Just more adult. The two are rarely de same thing." She shrugs. It wasn't that big a deal, really. "From a really weird society. Been considered an adult for five years now."

The second bit shakes her from her memories and makes her snicker. "Only thing I had half a desire t' see was the Assassination of Jesse James, but I never got around t' it. Might rent it sometime dis week."

	He raised an eyebrow. "Um. Wow," he said. "That's pretty intense." He bounced up and down a bit. "Ooh! Me too. We should rent it." He then suddenly remembered the candles in his hand and shuffled over to the cake, opening the package and placing them in a careful circle around the edge. "Thank god I bought the big box. One...two..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-04-09 04:23 am UTC (link)
	"Sums it up, really." She notes with a laugh. The 'big box' comment gets him a playful poke. "We totally need to make a Blockbuster run after cake and ice cream." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He nodded. "Agreed! Brad Pit as an outlaw waits for no man! Seven, eight..." He got all the candles put into the cake and then stopped.

"I forgot matches." He paused a moment, staring at the cake, and then waved his hands at her. "Close your eyes, close your eyes!"

He waited until she wasn't looking, and then all nineteen candles flared to life on their own. "Okay, you can open them." He gasped at the lit candles. "Well! Will you look at that."

	She giggled, covering her eyes. "What are y' doin'?" The lit candles made her laugh. "That was fast. Y' know y' don't have to hide bein' a mutant, right? Good company and all that." She grinned and poked his stomach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shrugged sheepishly. "I am a shy and delicate flower?" he said. "Or something like that. Now, you have to make a wish before you blow them out!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-04-12 04:11 am UTC (link)
	She snickered. "I suppose I hafta buy that." She closed her eyes, thinking of something to wish for. Finally, she decided and blew on the candles, taking most of them out with one long breath. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonasjustjokes 2008-04-14 01:58 am UTC (link)
	He clapped enthusiastically. "Yay! What did you--nevermind," he said, throwing his hands up. "Don't tell me. It won;t come true, otherwise." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-04-14 02:01 am UTC (link)
	She laughed. "I'm not really countin' on it comin' true, anyway." It didn't really bother her. She'd just wished for some fun next time she went on patrol with Miho. She picked up the knife, and smiled at Jonas, winking a bit. "No sudden movements." Better to tell a joke than talk about why she was so paranoid, right? Right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonasjustjokes 2008-04-14 02:07 am UTC (link)
	"Okay." Jonas froze, holding absolutely still while she cut the cake, not even blinking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-04-14 02:08 am UTC (link)
	She snickered and cut them both rather large pieces, putting hte knife down slowly. "Alright, all clear." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonasjustjokes 2008-04-14 02:21 am UTC (link)
	He dropped out of the position with a puff of air. "Phew." He took a slice of cake and snagged a fork from where he'd set two on the table, ready to go. "So do you want your present now, or later?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-04-14 03:10 am UTC (link)
	"You got me a present?" She asked, impressed. "Was kinda short notice, and y' really didn't hafta. Just hangin' out with you is good enough." She meant it, too. He made her feel comfortable and relaxed. She'd never had a friend like him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Heck yes!" he said. "Hold on."

He set his cake down and scurried down the hall to the bedroom, returning with a soft package that had a card taped to the top. He handed it to her. "Here."

The card looked like it had been drawn by a third grader with myopia, involving a stick figure Jonas and Belle, hugging on the cover. Belle was identifiable by scribbles of blonde hair, Jonas by a black streaks. 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' was scrawled across the top in a rainbow of colors. Inside, there was a message. Also written in crayon.

'So you're old now. A year older than you were before, which is pretty exciting! I wanted to tell you that not only are you one of my only real friends, you're one of my best. I know things have been rough lately for you, but I want you to know that if you ever need help, I'll be right here. And that you better eat lots of the birthday cake, because that's what birthdays are really about.
-Jonas'

Inside the package was a t-shirt covered in drawings and sayings that amounted to movie spoilers for some of the most popular films of all time.

	Belle smiled widely at the card, and awwed at the inside, giving Jonas a hug before she went on to the present. It made her laugh, and she gave him another hug and a kiss on the forehead. "Merci, mon ami. I'm lucky t' have you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonasjustjokes 2008-04-14 03:32 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged, sheepish but beaming. "Aw, it's no big. You're welcome." He reached for his cake in a bid to escape his own awkwardness. "And now, for some cake." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-04-14 03:37 am UTC (link)
	"Yes." She slid into a chair, reluctantly putting the card down. It was probably the best birthday present she'd ever gotten. The card was definitely going in her mirror, so she would see it every morning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonasjustjokes 2008-04-17 04:52 am UTC (link)
	He took a large bite of his cake, mming out loud. "You have excellent taste in cake," he said around bites of frosting, taking to the cake with gusto. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-04-17 04:54 am UTC (link)
	She giggled. "I'm glad y' like it. When's your birthday?" So she could plan. . .things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonasjustjokes 2008-04-18 02:38 am UTC (link)
	"July seventh," he said, reaching for the gallon of milk on the table. "You want any?" he asked, pointing at the jug. This was perfect. Good company and good cake--the ultimate combo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-04-18 02:42 am UTC (link)
	"I'll hafta remember dat." She said, nodding at his offer of milk. This was waaaay better than her original plan. Jonas was better company than anybody else she knew. It kind of reminded her of how things had started out between her and Remy. Not that she was going to start chasing Jonas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonasjustjokes 2008-04-20 03:58 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged. "I don't usually do anything on my birthday," he confessed. "Sometimes I go to the movies with my friends, but I don't think I can remember having a birthday cake or anything." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-04-20 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Then we'll hafta fix that. It's not a birthday without cake." She smiled softly. "Beside, you never had a pushy Cajun girl for a friend before, or at least you probably didn't." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jonasjustjokes 2008-04-21 03:00 am UTC (link)
	He smiled. "Nah, I guess not. And you're not pushy! Although you may be Cajun. I don't know if I can deny that one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonwine 2008-04-21 05:10 am UTC (link)
	She snickered. "You haven't seen me in action yet. After all, you've never given me a reason t' be pushy." There is much pushiness just waiting for an opportunity to strike! (Reply to this) (Parent)
