Happy Ides of March! (Open to anyone who Pippi might even slightly know. And NGs)

Okay, so it had taken some time planning, lots of talking to her mom's handler and working with him but it had all worked out pretty well. At least so far, Harry still worried. He'd only told Pippi that her day was booked today so there was no double booking or confusion on her part. So he supposed it counted as a surprise party. Though he had gotten her a present to put into the pile too.

He'd found a suitably large non-superhero HQ venue for it and currently the place was clearly decked out for Pippi. Indigo decorations aside, there was a giant cake, extra icing of course, with a chainsaw topper being guarded by Mr. Whiskers and his hat, puppies walking around (with supervision of their handlers) free to be petted and just look adorable to add to the atmosphere, plenty of food and mini party favours of course too.

Not to mention what seemed to be...Sienna Miller in the Baroness outfit? Who was carrying around a very...Pippi-styled chainsaw.

Well hey, this was a Pippi related party, you took these things in stride.

	"Yay! Thank you! Oh, and I've got a new tag for Miss Fluff!" Really, she'd made arrangements to have it looked into - but still... A little digging around amongst her stuff will eventually result in a tag with Miss Fluff's name and home address, in the shape and colors of the green lantern corps symbol.

	"Oh, yeah. You would have kind of skipped customs. Well, normally, you kind of check things to make sure you're not carrying anything bad. It can be kind of annoying when you travel a lot. Its ok though, since we're super heroes, we can avoid it a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ok, the two coming up that are really important... April Fool's Day is on the first of April. People play silly pranks on each other a lot. Its a really mean holiday. And then after that is Cinco dee Mayo, when we celebrate the invention of burritos and mayonnaise. I have no idea why they put them together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Burritos and mayonnaise? Are you sure they go together?" Dex would eat just about anything, but even he didn't like the sound of those two things together. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bobblehead 2013-03-24 12:19 am UTC (link)
	"Not burritos with mayonnaise. I think they were just invented by the same guy, or at the same time or something. So there's always a big trip to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. I figured I'd take people out who wanted to go. There's no mayonnaise in that, but its in the name, so its got to be important. But probably ok just being mentioned." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, that's the real Christmas. But people weren't happy enough and people weren't giving out enough toys, so they added another one. Except no one decorates except the stores for it. But lots of stuff goes on special sale for it and it makes Santa happy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, okay," he said. He committed the information to memory. He'd have to make sure he got gifts for the JLI. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So, then before Christmas in July, we have the Fourth of July. Where we celebrate the invention of the explosives that helped us get free. Mostly with lots of explosions and fireworks, which makes sense. We also have a lot of BBQs so we can set more things on fire." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	green_lantern 2013-03-28 11:43 am UTC (link)
	Dex nodded. "I think I got all of that," he said. He perked up at the mention of BBQ. "That sounds like a holiday I'll like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh yeah, its a wonderful holiday. I think I forgot some smaller ones though. Let's see, Mother's Day, Father's Day - those ones are obvious. And President's Day where we celebrate important presidents like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Important enough that we put them on money. Christmas in July is the last big holiday for a while after that. But when they start again, we have the really big ones like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the post Christmas sales days."
