Chapter Two

"Surprise!!!" My eyes widened as I looked round at the six people surrounding me. Everyone was smiling and Tom was laughing again. "Oh c'mon sis, don't tell me you forgot it was your own birthday!" What?! My birthday!? I glanced over at the calendar we have hanging on the wall. Thursday the 19th of... Oh my gosh!! It is my birthday! As the realization hits me, I started grinning like crazy. "Oh and she finally remembered!" Tucker chuckled from behind me as he walked up and gave me a hug. I turn to face him and hugged him back, still smiling. Soon it turned into one massive group hug with the seven of us hugging like crazy. When we all pull away I actually pay attention to what has happened to the living room. There are banners and balloons everywhere, a table full of food and a giant cake and next to the table, a pile of presents almost the same height as me! "Oh guuuyyyss, you shouldn't have.." They all started laughing again. "You say that every year Aut" Dec manages to say between laughs. I shake my head and smile. Tucker, Sonja and Jordan sit on one of the sofas, with Dec and Champ on the other one. Me and Tom sit on the floor and the presents get passed to me one at a time. After a while I only have two presents left. So far, I had been given so many amazing gifts. Jordan gave me a pair of glasses, exactly like his only dark purple, the same purple as an endermen's eyes. Tucker got me a new and improved headset, which I had wanted for ages because mine kept breaking and our headsets were how we all communicated with each other when we were to far away to talk normally. Sonja got me a bracelet made out of gold with little quartz charms hanging off it. She was so excited when she gave it to me as she had the exact one and she knew how much I adored it. Champ gave me some new arrows for the bow he made for me a long time ago. He is always experimenting on making new types of arrows to do different things. He gives them to me any opportunity he gets and so far I have gained quite the collection. Dec gave me a little pouch, which he called an ender pouch. He said it would carry twice as many items as a normal pouch would, which is useful because I always find my self unable to carry everything I want to. As Tom passed me his gift he told me to be very careful with it. I nodded and looked at the present. It was a funny shape but didn't feel very heavy. When I opened it I found a small glass tank. I looked back at him "This looks like the one you have in your room. But why would I need one I don't have-" I was cut off for the second time that morning by Tom, but this time instead of splashing water in my face he held up a small plastic bag full of water. Inside the little plastic bag, swimming around, was my very own clown fish! "TOOOOOMMM, I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!" I threw myself on top of the zombie and tackled him into a hug. "Hey, hey, be careful. I love you too but you're going to squash the fish!" I let go of him and grabbed the bag of water. "Hello Mr fishy, helloooo" I cooed at the little orange fish. Sonja let go of Tucker's hand, stood up and sat next to me and Tom on the floor. "Aww he's so cute! What are you going to call him?" Before I could even open my mouth to answer, everyone stopped what they were doing turned to look at me and Sonja and shouted "BUBBLES!!!" at the top of their lungs. They then all burst into hysterics while I pouted. Jordan glanced up at me, "Oh c'mon Aut, you can't really blame us! I mean you have been begging Tom to get you your own clown fish for years now... And you always talk about how you want to get one and name it Bubbles" I smile at him, while pouring my clown fish and his water into the fish tank. I then stand up and walk over to the table, setting the fish tank safely down. "Yeah, yeah, ok... So are you guys going to keep laughing or can you stop yourselves long enough for us to eat? I'm starving!" Instantly, they all stop laughing and rush over to the table, grabbing at the food.
