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 smiled. "Wouldn't miss it. This is for you," she said and held out the small present. "I hope you like it." Cait had returned to Atlantis after the Mongul stuff and before Ty and she moved west. While she was there she picked up Iris' necklace and a pendant for Jai. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sure I'll love it," he said, smiling softly at her, "Since you picked it out." He opened the package, "This is really nice," Jai ran his fingers over it, tracing the designs, "I really do love it, Cait," he gave her a small hug, "Thanks a lot." "Enough about me though," he said, smiling again, "How're things with you? You and Ty settling in okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The symbol is Atlanean for luck," she said as she returned the hug. "You're welcome." She smiled. "I'm good. We're getting used to a new city, but I'm happy that the ocean is so close. San Francisco is nice from what I've seen of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hopefully it'll bring me just that," Jai said, tucking the pendant safely into his pocket. "That's great to hear," he beamed at her, "And if you guys ever need anything, please, don't hesitate to let me know. I'll be there in two seconds. Literally." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you. It's great to know there are people who will help." The only people on the surface Cait had known up until this point were the people in the small village her grandfather lived in, Ty and the people she worked with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey," Jai's smile grew wider, "What are friends for?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled. "Thanks. You're right. Friends are exactly for that. Happy birthday. I hope it is a good one." (Reply to this)(Parent)
