[ Normally, Ino's been walking up closer to the front, but today, she slows down and makes her way back through the group to hop onto Once-ler's wagon seat. She's got a bit of a mischievous smile on her face, and some kind of bag slung across her shoulder. ]

How's it going back here?

[ For now, she'll pretend she hasn't a clue what day it is ]

[ lifts an eyebrow ]

That sounds like a whole lot of bullshit, if you ask me.

[His smile fades a little bit]

I had a feeling you'd say that.

[ino]

Only because it's true.

[ she gives him a serious look ]

Living to another year is always something you should celebrate. Even if you don't have any money, or not a lot of time -- if a person truly cares about you, they'll find a way to make sure you know that you're worth celebrating.

[He'll cast her a flat look]

I'm pretty sure we've already established that my family didn't think that at all.

[ino]

[ she puts a hand on his arm ]

Well, better to start late than never.

[whichwayyoulean]

[That, at least, gets a ghost o a smile to cross his face]

Or really late in my case.

[ino]

Pretty late. But that just means we have lots of time to make up for what you missed!

Starting with your cake. [ points at the unfinished cake. GET TO EATIN', BOY ]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He raises his free hand in surrender]

Okay, okay. I'm making up time.

[See? He's being good and he's eating his cake]
