Case 111 [Action]

[manofgnee]

[There's a party today in Xanadu! It's the day before Euphie's 18th birthday, and in an effort to avoid any sort of bad curse, Hanna's throwing her party on Sunday.

There are big picnic tables set up with all sorts of snacks and treats. One table is devoted to desserts, especially the big birthday cake. Hanna even managed to pull through and make cookies, despite his overall inability to cook or bake.

There's music, and speakers, and a myriad of decorations, including balloons, paper lanterns, streamers, and confetti. Hanna's spent the good part of the past week planning this party.
The grill is set up, and the present table is ready as well. Hanna himself is lounging in one of the chairs, a large box in his lap. Every so often, the box moves a bit, and Hanna smiles and sticks a finger through the hole in the top of the box.

Yep. Everything is set for one awesome party.]

[Hanna hugs back, still grinning.] Aw, but I wanted to!! Your birthday is special, you should have a special party!

[deadly_legacy]

It is. Thank you. [Just because you made it for her, but even beyond that. She beams at him. She really is looking just exceptionally happy today.]

Will you show me around?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Sure!! Okay, we got food, and music...you still wanna do the zoo, yeah? Well, we're actually not too far away from the zoo...oh, and magic tricks later!!

[deadly_legacy]

That all sounds wonderful. The zoo too! And magic tricks? Really?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yep!! Oh, and there's also presents.

[deadly_legacy]

For me? People really didn't have to.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

But they wanted to!

[deadly_legacy]

It's sweet. [Smiles. She isn't upset at all. She just hopes no one put themselves out. Especially Hanna.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[He grins at her again. The party was a bit expensive, but it was totally worth it.]

I'm sure you're gonna love all of them.

[deadly_legacy]

I know I will. [Gives Hanna such a fond look!] I'm not sure what I should do first.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Well...um...I made cookies, if you want to try them...

[deadly_legacy]

Yes, please. I like cookies.

I didn't know you cooked. [Didn't you have purple stuff in your oven?]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I, err...don't. Can't.

But I tried really hard to get these right!!

[deadly_legacy]

We are the same in that then. [Smiles] Well, let's get one!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I hope they came out all right! I wasn't sure what exactly to do, so they're just plain old sugar cookeis...

[deadly_legacy]

Hanna, I'm sure they are perfect. It was very nice of you. [And that must be them, right? She reaches for one.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Hanna smiles expectantly, mentally repeating 'please don't get food poisoning' over and over again in his head.]

[deadly_legacy]

[She takes a bite and looks perfectly happy to be eating a perfectly good cookie! She even makes a little "mmm" sound for Hanna's benefit.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[And at that, Hanna relaxes, letting out a sigh of relief. Thank god, they were edible.]

[deadly_legacy]

[She finishes chewing and smiles at him.] Thank you, Hanna. It was almost as sweet as you.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[He just grins at that, blushing slightly.]

I'm glad you like it...

Hey, I think you should open one of your presents!

[He can't wait to see the look on her face when she sees his gift...]

[deadly_legacy]

Oh? All right. I could do that. [She is curious. And if he wants to see her open it then that's fine with her.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[He smiles and nods slightly.]

I know gifts are usually done after cake, but...well, I just really want to see you open this one.

[So he goes and gets the large box with the hole in the top.]

[deadly_legacy]

[Noticing the hole, but she doesn't want to embarrass him by saying anything. Yes, she still hasn't figured it out.] Is this one from you?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. Sorry about the hole...promise, though, it makes sense.

[He smiles.]

Go on, open it!!
