25 July: It's My Party
Four different kinds of gourmet Macaroni and Cheese. Stacks upon stacks of different finger sandwiches, with the yards worth of crusts used to make a couple of heated trays of bread pudding. A pineapple-banana-pecan cake possibly bigger than the birthday girl herself. A small table of vegan stuff, just in case.

Cindy couldn't stop grinning at it. Had she found awesome caterers or what?

The band specialized in swing covers of hard rock songs, but could play just about anything. There was a dance floor. All her friends from school were there, dressed to the eights.

Of course, all Cindy's friends from school didn't really fill up the little reception hall. And she certainly didn't have a big family. But that was okay, more room for her ~~soon-to-be-colleagues~~ fellow super-brats.

And so she scurried, from arrival to arrival, for cheerful welcomes.

Her Royal Highness Caitria Curry did not attend the party. Cait Curry, Teen Titan and trying to be average girl, did attend the party. Cait was in a simple dress she found at a thrift store.

Finding an appropriate gift was tough. Cait was still working out all the social niceties and obligations of surface life and was really unsure what to get Cindy for a gift. Being relatively poor didn't help much either. Cait went with what she was finding to be a tried and true bet. A gift card for fifty dollars was placed in a card from her and Ty.

Cait took a deep breath and entered the room.

	Cindy scurried over as quick as her impractical shoes would allow. "Cait! Hi!" She held out a hand to shake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait greeted her hostess and the birthday girl with a smile. "Hi!" She took the offered hand and gave it a shake. "Thank you for the invitation and happy birthday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon lands out front - flying is still the fastest way to travel. He heads for the front door and knocks politely, offering over an envelope with a gift certificate for $50 worth of CDs. Music is a reasonably safe gift for most people, even if you don't know their tastes, after all. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Jai finally arrives after trying on several outfits and making a last minute detour to get Cindy a gift. He also settles on a gift-card, but he opts for Barnes & Noble. He arrives at the front door in a burst of air and knocks, trying to be cheerful. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Cindy!" Iris arrived seconds after her brother, gift in hand. She'd managed to scrounge up a poster of the cast of The West Wing, a t-shirt with the name of the show across it, and a calendar featuring a different character for each month. "Happy birthday!" As much as she complained about how slow it was, the internet was a wonderful thing. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Iris!" At Iris's carrying a bunch of uneven things instead of envelopes and has to take a peek. "Omigosh, that's awesome! Ah, Joshua, you god of well-intentioned underhanded dealings, you," she sighs. "Iris, I have got to get you your party favor in a minute, but first, how's it going?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jerry teleported not far away arriving a little bit late which was really good for him. How he had managed to keep his teleporting mostly secret was beyond him but he preferred to keep it that way. Jerry walked up to the door moderately dressed up and present in hand. He had gotten fresh chocolate from all over the world. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Jerry! Hi! Come on in!" And Cindy must shake hands now. It's what she does. "Oh, that smells delicious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hi! Come on in, just put that over here!" And then there must be handshakes. "Nice to see you again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right! Everyone can relax! The awesome train just pulled into the station!" A happy voice booms out from the entrance to the room. Let it never be said that Riley Carter doesn't know how to break the ice. To say nothing of the finely suited lady on his arm. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Dinah was still not entirely sure how she'd let Riley talk her into this one, but she rarely was where Riley was concerned. Besides, she made this look good. "Kord," she said in a fake British accent. "Dinah Kord." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avia had shown up in full hippie regalia. Cindy was a pretty cool chick, even if her dad could be Captain Bringdown sometimes. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Cait was a Atlantean out of water at parties, but she was managing. Ty being here helped a lot. She had to focus on him which helped ease her nervousness. Despite growing up in Atlantis and attending court functions all her life, Cait was still uncomfortable a parties. Her hand held his as they moved through the room. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hey there lovebirds!" Riley wanders up to Cait and her boyfriend. "How's it hanging?" Dinah had acquired a lampshade she was wearing on her head, but the two otherwise looked the same as when they walked in. Riley was still sporting the dress. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Petra wanders in with Din on her arm, rather confident in how she's sporting her new dress, as well as her date. "So... we miss anything good?" She grins at Cindy and nods towards Riley and Dinah, already snickering at their appearance. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Party crashers," Cindy said, a bit of her enthusiasm gone. "Literally. Had to call the cops." She makes herself perk up a little. "But you must be Din. So nice to meet you properly" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As the evening rolls on, Petra manages to steal Din away to a corner with comfortable seating. She resists the temptation of putting him in her lap, and settles for leaning heavily against his shoulder. "This is fun. We really need to get out more together." (Reply to this)(Thread)
