Sixteen Candles
Bendytimed to late September, early October

The cake's on the kitchen counter and everything's ready. The food is on a long table in the living room, various snacks and assorted boxes of pizza. Fun, upbeat, lively music plays in the background.

Invitations have been sent out weeks in advanced and the West house is ready for a slew of guests.

And Iris...is ecstatic. Ever since she was a little girl, she's dreamed of this. Her Sweet Sixteen. Well...technically her and Jai's Sweet Sixteen...even though Sweet Sixteen always seemed like a girl thing anyway so did that make it what, a Sour Sixteen or something for him?

Anyway....

Technical terms aside, she was as hyperactive as ever, in her brand new light blue dress and white ballet flats. Invitations had been sent out to everyone, family and friends alike.

A wide grin on her face, she zipped around the room, making sure that everything was perfect, and avoiding tripping over Jai, who was reading a book (like always) on the floor in the living room.

The doorbell rings, and her grin widens.

"I'll get it!"

"Cait!" The second she's opened the door, Iris is launching herself at Cait in a full-on bear hug. "You made it!"

She ushers the other girl in, chattering rapidly.

"There's food over there on that long table in the living room, pizza, chips, popcorn, salad, about fifty different kinds of soda. Gifts are going on the table over there by the coat rack," she doesn't even seem to notice how fast she's talking, leading Cait around the room by the arm, "How've you been? Are you settling in nicely? Did you find a job yet? How's Ty? Is he coming? I sent him an invitation, I hope he can come, I think he'd really enjoy himself..."

	"Whoa! Slow down. I'm only catching every third word or so," Cait said. "I'm sure Ty will be here." She hoped he would. Cait knew social situations made her boyfriend nervous, but Cait had told him she would be here. He always managed better when Cait was next to him. "Happy birthday! This is for you." Cait held out a small box. "I hope you like it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iris beamed. "Oh good! I was hoping that you could both could make it, but I understand that you're busy, with everything that's been going on." Eagerly, Iris took the box from Cait and opened it. Her eyes lit up when she saw the necklace. "Thank you very much!" she wrapped her in another bear hug, "It's gorgeous!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait grunted as Iris gave her a bear hug. That's the thing with speedsters. They were always so easily excitable. "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I love it!" Iris said, releasing Cait from her hold. "I'm going to go see if Mom wants me to bring out some more food," she said, "Have fun, mingle, dance like a rockstar, I'll be around." She gave Cait another hug before walking-yes, actually walking-into the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)
