A Slightly Different Birthday

[clockwork_doc]

It's the end of October, and we all know what that means -- party time! And, as usual, first up is Doc's birthday. Also as usual, the party's being held in the Inkwell's main room, with orange ribbons bedecking the walls, shiny brass balloons bobbing on the chairs, and the usual BTTF medley playing on the jukebox. But there's something a little less usual about this particular party --

This is the first one Doc's had since his family grew by one son and one nephew. Who seem about ready to give him his present. . .

And considering the circumstances, it's Victor who has been chosen to present it. "Happy birthday," he says with a bright grin as he hands it over, wrapped in red paper. "It's from all of us."

AL and the guys march in fashionably late. The tension between AL and Twelve seems to have lessened slightly, though he's still confined to sitting quietly.

"What up, peeps?" AL says, giving the assembled Docs a hug. "How's everything going?"
