Quad-Birthday (Is It A Wonder The Mun's Out Of Present Ideas?)

[forgotten_vows]

Well, it’s that time of year again – the time where four muses all have a birthday on the same day. Johnny Depp and Michael J. Fox, you planned this, didn’t you. At any rate, the Inkwell’s done up in BTTF yellow and red and CB blue and grey, and both movie soundtracks are on the jukebox. Standard rules apply for making merry, so drop in and see if you can actually say “happy birthday” to all four birthday boys.

((OOC: And as suggested by the title, the mun is blanking on present ideas for everybody -- except one, of course. While the other muses assure me it's all right -- "This is just what happens when you give us all awesome presents for our first years here," as Marty put it -- if you could come up with an extra-special cake this year, Gigs. . .))

Butterfly Boy turns to Forgotten Vows, grinning. “Now, my friends and I have gotten you something that I think you’re really going to like. It’s outside, however, so if you’ll just follow me. . .”

Forgotten Vows trails along obediently. “Did you get me a carriage? Because the mine cart I found in that one thread with Lizzie getting sick actually works pretty well, I just need to put a sort of roof over it. . .”

“No, this is related to another thread of yours,” Butterfly Boy says as he opens the door. With a little wave, he indicates something sitting in the front yard – an apple sapling in a transplant bag. “Happy birthday!”

Forgotten’s face lights up. “An apple tree! Thank you! I’ve been wanting one ever since I began my plans for the garden. . .oh, I hope I don’t kill it. . .”

“Well, Lewis helped me get it, so it may be a little hardier than the average apple tree,” Butterfly Boy confesses with a shy laugh. “I wanted to make sure it would be something you could enjoy for years to come.”

Forgotten Vows claps his counterpart on the back. “Well, thank you very much. I’m looking forward to planting it.”

Butterfly Boy returns the pat. "You're welcome. Happy birthday, counterpart."
