 [When the COMP is switched on, you'll see a close up of Athena's face. She was obviously in a good mood.]

Hey hey hey! Guess what everyone! Today I'm officially 19!

It's weird...  I don't feel any older, but I guess that's normal. Would anyone like to hang out today? If anyone is interested, just let me know.

'Kay bye!

[And just like that, she turned the COMP off. Apparently, it's also "throw a policeman at Apollo" day according to tumblr.]

Hey hey! Happy birthday, birthday girl! Is it your goddamn birthday? It sure is! Better hope you're ready for the best gift of your life- aside from my radical epic self payin' you a visit, that is.

[Video]

[cykedfists]

Thank you. Well, both would be great, but I sure am!

[Video]

[stridercentric]

Perfect! I'll be over in five.

[By which he could've meant five seconds, but he figures he'll play nice and give Athena some time to prepare herself. Also, he still needs to wrap the present.]

[Video]

[cykedfists]

Okay. Come on over.

[Roughly four minutes and fifty seconds later, there's a knock on Athena's door. ...Okay, he said five, but then he got bored and here he is.

Unlike during their fake date, Bro's hair isn't visible today. It's hidden beneath his favorite baseball cap. What will probably catch Athena's attention more is the brightly-colored box underneath his arm. It's even got an ironic bright bow wrapped around it.]

[She doesn't mind that. He can wear what he'd like. Hearing the knocking, she opened the door with a grin.]

Hey, Bro. Come on in.

[Action]

[stridercentric]

[Don't every say that out loud, Athena. He'll take it as a challenge and wear something utterly ridiculous.

Either way, he'll just barge his way inside at the invitation, grinning widely.]

Sup birthday girl. You want me to rap you a special birthday rap?

[Action]

[cykedfists]

[That would be hilarious.]

Oh! Yeah, I'm ready!

[She's never had somebody rap for her before.]

[Action]

[stridercentric]

[Oh. Uhoh. You asked for it, Athena.

Bro drops the box on the nearest table and raises both hands to his mouth, starting a wicked beatbox rhythm.]

Yo, yo, yo...!
What up girl, it's your birthday,
so I'm here to say,
there's gonna be a wicked partay!
Hey, yo, hey...!
Nineteen years old, what a feat!
Three years past sixteen but still sweet!
Who's the girl we need to treat?
Athena, Athena!

[He goes into a quick solo of beatboxing and record scratching before continuing.]

So bring on the cake and balloons,
bring on all the cheery tunes!
Bring on the gifts, make it snappy!
Bring the receipt if they're crappy!
Nineteen years ain't too long ago,
so,
happy birthday to you- What a show!
Happy birthday to you, here we go!

[After he finished, she started to clap happily.]

That was great! Thank you.

[She's not used to this much attention on her birthdays, but it's nice to have friends to spend it with now.]

[Action]

[stridercentric]

[He takes a flourishing, overdramatic bow at her clapping, even going so far as to remove his baseball cap with one hand as he does so.]

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. All month, probably. All year if I feel like it.

[Action]

[cykedfists]

I don't think we have a choice in how long, but It's still good to know.

[NOT HERE]

[hawkattack]

[YOU'RE BEING WATCHED, STRIDER.]

[NOT HERE]

[stridercentric]

[OHOH, DO YOU LIKE YOU WHAT YOU SEE? (trololol)]
