[open] Birthday Party Extravaganza for (1) Campbell Saunders

Who: Maya, Cam, and the rest of ya'll.
What: A BIRTHDAY PARTY EXTRAVAGANZA okay no it's not an extravaganza, it's actually just a party for Cam's birthday.
When: December 5th.
Where: Cafeteria area.


At ridiculous o'clock on the morning of December 5th, Maya enlisted Hyokomon and Strabimon to help her tape invitations on anyone and everyone's door. All of the invitations were hand-written, although they seemed to be in three or four different handwritings, and they all said exactly the same thing:

YOU'RE INVITED TO CAM'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
TODAY AT 1PM IN THE CAFETERIA

In retrospect, there were definitely easier ways of inviting the whole city to a party but Maya didn't care. This way meant that only dedicated people would show up to the party. Maybe. That was Maya's hope, anyway. She didn't usually mind being around people, but the fact that she was performing a song she'd written for Cam was kind of. Embarrassing. She'd done it before, at Battle of the Bands, but that had been decidedly less personal than "Jersey Boy." As in "the song she never showed to anyone."

Most of the party preparations had been handled by Neku, because funnily enough freshman band geeks don't plan that many parties, and Maya was eternally grateful to him for it. Mostly because she'd been working nonstop on the stupid song and there wouldn't be much of a party if she'd had to plan it. If her plan failed miserably, then at least there was food. And probably the people here were less gossipy than the kids at Degrassi, so the whole city wouldn't know she'd made a fool of herself.

A girl could hope, right?

"Surprise parties tend to lose their appeal if they become a regular thing I would imagine," Kaldur replied, slightly amused by the idea of a surprise party becoming a regular thing. It would certainly stop being a surprise after awhile.

"I would recommend simply enjoying this one."

"I am. Amazingly."

Surprise parties are such a thing that Cam's expected to like. But well, when the set-up's so good, maybe he can't help but do it.

"So... How've you been?"

Kaldur was happy to hear that Cam was going to try to enjoy the evening that Maya and others had planned for him. Kaldur would try to enjoy it as well.

"I am doing well. I have been trying to consider what to get people for the holidays and letting my digimon recover from the incident with Titamon." Kaldur looked around at the party, "This is certainly a nice change of scenery. I feel like it's been awhile since we've done something like this."

"Really has," Cam comments, letting out a breath. Neku and Maya really did a great job. How lucky he is, to have the friends he does.

"Kinda weird, isn't it?" He pauses for a moment before clarifying himself. "It's gonna be Christmas, and we're spending it here."

"I know. Even stranger since when I arrived here it was August but it was New Year's Eve back home. I wasn't sure if I should view it as going back in time or skipping several months. Either way...I hope the holidays here are more uneventful than they were the last time for me." Which would be easy since last year he discovered his best friend was a clone, had to rescue the entire Justice League, and was pulled into a Digital World where he met Sedna.

"It's been eventful enough."

"Really?" Cam supposes it makes sense. "I got here around... Well, the same time as back home."

April. He doesn't quite like April. He wets his lips.

"You, uh, were a bit of a superhero back home, right?" He says this so casually, it's a little wondrous to think about. "I bet it was stressful. I'd...yeah, a quiet holiday'd be nice."
acceptedburden: (Peace)

Kaldur shrugs. He'd given up trying to make sense of the flow of time between the worlds, especially since when he'd first gotten here Wally had been here but from a different point of time. It had been confusing and a little stressful, but he'd gotten past it.

"Yes, that is right. I was the leader of our team. But we're all on equal ground here...though I sometimes wonder if we're not doing enough. In a few months we'll have been here a year and it feels like very little has been accomplished." He knew he probably shouldn't mention it, this was a party for Cam not a time to reflect on the events of the past few months.

"Anyway, I hope at least that I'll get to my own birthday. Between the two worlds I somehow skipped it. I'm not sure if I am supposed to consider myself a year older yet or not." He says the laugh part with a bit of a chuckle, it honestly doesn't bother him THAT much, just another one of those things he thinks about.
headup_stickontheice: (i hope i see you soon!)

He's not going to comment on Kaldur's worries; mostly this is because Cam doesn't know how to assure him otherwise. He's not good at that, reassuring people. Not when he knows nothing of what he's really talking about, and even then having common ground doesn't guarantee he can fix a problem.

Still, he cracks a smile. "Well, you act old enough, so I bet you can. Much more grown-up than like...half the guys I went to school with."

"I've been told that before. I imagine it has something to do with cultural differences, but thank you." After all, Atlanteans serve in the military at a young age and he'd been going to the Conservatory of Sorcery for a year or so before he'd even taken up under his king.
headup_stickontheice: (the winter is long and forgiving)

Cultural differences. Cam just nods along, with a tiny smirk. "So, what, if you count it, you'd be 19 or something?"

Kaldur finds himself smirking slightly. "Actually 17," apparently he had come off as much older than originally thought. It was still kind of amusing though and probably not the first time to happen to him either.
headup_stickontheice: repent all your sin (you see all the beauty)

[personal profile] headup_stickontheice 2014-01-06 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Cam's mouth drops open. "No way. Dude, there is no way you're only a year older than me."

This time Kaldur doesn't even try to hide his amusement. "I don't exactly have a driver's license to prove it...but I assure you that is my age." Kaldur was from a place that didn't really have automobiles. He lived under the ocean after all, they didn't need cars.
headup_stickontheice: (the thunder and the laughter)

"Guess superheroes mature faster than normal kids," he says with a surprised smile.
