eighteen ► where have you been

[gentleidealist]

[Filtered AWAY from Zelos and anyone who would spoil the surprise for him.]

Hey everyone, Lloyd here. So, it was Zelos' birthday while we were at Lastlook. He didn't tell anyone that I know of... probably because he didn't want his friends to make a big fuss over him.

Weird, right?

I'm thinking we should all get together and throw him a surprise party. It'll be late, but who cares. If you're interested, leave me your name and when you're free.

As far as what to give him, I... don't know. I'm still kinda stuck on that myself. It's hard to shop for someone who has everything. Just being there is probably enough.

Oh, and try to keep this a secret. He's really sneaky, so you can't say anything.

[Genis]

Um, I have a favor to ask.

Like a nameday?

[hard_talker]

Lemme know when, I'll be there. I'll even bring the music if you need it.

[both_neither]

No worries. I'm good with secrets.

[luthored]

I don't know if he'd really consider me a friend, but I'd like to go. My name is Lana and I'll...make my schedule work for whatever day it ends up being.

[ Although she kind of understands not wanting a big fuss to be made over it... ]

You're sure he won't mind a party?

[mom_to_us_all]

Give him something you made. I'm sure he wouldn't have one of those!

[ino]

We could make a really awesome cake, at least?

...Why is that weird? Some people just don't make a big deal out of their birthdays.

Aaaaaand I'm pretty sure if he doesn't want a big fuss a surprise party is exactly the opposite of what to do for him.

Filter forever spamming you try to stop me

[huffythedragon]

Oh man, I'm so glad somepony else thinks this too! My name's Spike and I'm free all the time. I can help with decorations, baking, you name it!

Filtered!

[Oooohhhhh. He knew something had been on his mind on the day Zelos left the main group. Maybe it'd been more than just guilt, as he initially expected.

But...]

Someone who has everything?

[heal_theworld]

...So that's why he asked me what day it was and then wouldn't tell me why. I think he actually forgot.

[ardor]

His birthday...?

[amiable]

Really? And he didn't say...

I'd love to help!

What's a nameday?

Filter forever

[gentleidealist]

Great!

... I don't know what kind of music he likes, actually.

[gentleidealist]

Heh heh, thanks. Are you a friend of his?

[gentleidealist]

Thanks, Lana. I'll write that down.

[A pause, and then you can just HEAR the huge grin.]

I'm sure. He's gonna love all the attention.

filter forever

[gentleidealist]

That's a good idea, actually! I love making stuff. I just don't know what...

I guess I could throw together a chair or something for all the sitting around he does.

filter forever

[gentleidealist]

Yeah! Maybe we should have a whole bunch of cakes made into a huge cake. There's gonna be lots of people at this rate.

[both_neither]

More like friendly acquaintance.

[gentleidealist]

It's weird for Zelos.

[No one cares about your opinion, Once-ler.]

If he doesn't like it, he can leave. But I'm pretty sure he won't mind. We're his friends.

[gentleidealist]

Yeah, su--

2/3

[gentleidealist]

... wait.

[gentleidealist]

You're the lizard that made me apologize for leaving the milk out! [HE WOULD KNOW THAT VOICE ANYWHERE]

[persequor]

The day one is named.

[ino]

A bunch of cakes in one? Why not just have one big one to start?
