Happy Birthday, Alisa LeBeau!
Alisa did not really tell a whole lot of people when her Birthday was, there was no need to, really. It was just a day she was born, no big deal. Though she did manage to tell Corey and Argo about it, since they were close friends. Nick, well... he knew about her Birthday since it was on her work file. But those were the only people who ever knew besides herself, and her twin brother.

Twenty one years. How the time flies. Ennie was away, missing their birthday this year. Well, physically at least. Alisa took every dime she earned from working with Nick and had his new Harley sent to him, with a big red bow on it and a Birthday card. It was the very least she could do for the brother who gave up everything to protect her. Now, she realized there would be no cupcake this year, no present, no Ennie.

A bit down, Alisa decided to throw her own party... even if she was the only guest. On the roof of the Motorcycle shop, she set up an old boom box she found and fixed up on a table. She tuned the radio on the boom box to a rock station that played her favorite bands
, and then walked over to the side of the roof, looking at all of New Orleans, in all it's glory.

"Well... it ain' like Corey's Birthday, but it's a Birthday, neh?" She spoke to herself. "Well, might as well do sumt'ing..." Alisa took out a spy glass she managed to make herself, and began watching all the cars pass by, using a notepad to mark down each kind of car or bike she say, and what color. "Red one.... blue one... anoder red one..."

"A/hem/. Are you coming down to lunch or /what/?" Corey asked.

Alisa blinked, turning her spy glass in Corey's direction. "Oh! 'ey Corey! Whatcha doin' here? T'ought you'd be tendin' to all yah Birthday presents!" Alisa smiled, resting one of her hands on the roof ledge, while her free hand twirled the spy glass with ease. "What's for lunch, by de way?"

"They are not being neglected. That's one thing about trees: as long as their needs are met, they don't try to hog the attention." Corey smiles. "Lunch is fish and some other stuff. Come on."

"Oui, ah'll be right down!" Alisa smiled, turning towards her boom box and flipping it off. She then hopped don the fire escape ladder and made her way down. The Shop had become a second home for her, so she knew how to get around it with ease. Once she was ground level, she followed Corey, her army style boots barely making a noise as she walked. "Why you so excited about lunch? Did you discover a new crawfish recipe?"

Argo was waiting outside for them, and smiled when he saw Alisa come out.

"Well met, fair Alisa!" he beamed. "Tiding of celebration upon thy day of birth!"

"T'ank you Argo!" Alisa smiled. She was not expecting him to be outside, much less awake this early. Usually he was still in bed at this time. "But it's non a big deal... ah mean, ah was born like twenty one years ago. Nuthin' to get excited over! Ah'm jus' a year older!"

She was doing her best to be modest about her Birthday. though her heart was feeling quite heavy today. It just felt so different hearing such a thing from someone that was not Ennie. How she missed him on this day.

"Sorry ta wake you up wit' dis silliness, Argo. Ah know 'ow you like ta sleep in."

Greeting Argo, Corey will brook no further delays and hustle them over to where he has set up the food: fried catfish and hush puppies and a chocolate cake, the candles carefully arranged in an XXI.

"Worry not, Alisa," Argo assured her as they were ushered. "Mine need for sleep stems from preference, not so much from need."

Alisa looked at what Corey arranged, and it made her lip quiver. No one had ever, EVER given her a cake like that.. or a buffet like this. She just stood there in utter shock for the longest time, before busting out crying. Not your regular crying, but bawling.

Blinking, Corey gets out his handkerchief -- because it's good for an artiste to have something old school like a handkerchief. Granted it's slightly dusty, but still.

Alisa took Corey's hankerchief and dabbed her eyes, trying her best to stop her bawling. "Dis is... dis is so beautiful. Ah ain' nevah 'ad mah own cake before... or mah own big party like disss!" She continued sniffle and cry as she stood there.

This, this Argo had been unprepared for.

He stood awkwardly, uncertain of what to do in this situation.

It took Alisa a few minutes to recover from crying so much. She was left with sniffles, and still dabbing her eyes as she looked at Corey and Argo. her face was red from there reactions. "Sorry... you 'ave no clue *sniff* 'ow much dis means to me. Ah ain' nevah 'ad a Birthday Party before... well... a big one. Ennie used to get me a cupcake wit' a candle in it every year. Dis... dis is so much bigger den dat... an' ah wished he was 'ere to 'ave some, too."

"Well... ah don' t'ink it would still be fresh by de time he got it." She sniffled again, walking towards her Birthday cake and examining it. "You know... you guys de best friends a gal could ever 'ave... well... in mah case you guys mah only friends!"

"Well, ah'm so honored..." She dabbed at her eyes once more, looking at Argo and Corey. "You guys too me off o' de streets, you welcomed me into your home, gave me a job, an' now you give me a Birthday Party! Ah don' know what ta say, or 'ow to t'ank you guys enough! Ah mean... you 'ave no clue what dis all means to me. It's... it's like sumt'ing outta a dream!"

"Looks like I'm late for the party... but I brought beer, so hopefully everyone will forgive me." comes Nick's voice from the doorway into the kitchen from the garage.

Corey shrugs and smiles. "Beer's supposed to be good with fish, but I've got a couple cans of ginger ale, too. So let's eat up, and then we can have the cake."

Irina stepped out of a portal and into the kitchen. She smiled when she saw the gathered team.

"Sorry if I'm late, but I've been working. Alisa, happy birthday and this is for you." She held out an envelope with a card in it. Tucked inside the card was a gift card to the local mall worth two hundred dollars. Irina was always generous with gifts.

"I regret I cannot stay and must get back to work, but I didn't want you to think I forgot."

"Oh... ta'nk you Irina! You didn' 'ave to!" She would start crying again, if she did not manage to hold herself back from it. Alisa quickly gave Irina a big hug, and a kiss on the cheek. "You a good friend, too, Irina. Hurry back to work, now... ah don' wan'cha to get in trouble. You should see de face Nick gets me when ah'm late for work!"

Giggling much like a school girl, she then turned back to Nick seeing he brought beer. "Oh? tryin' to get me plastered, eh? Ah'll jus' take one. None for Corey... he ain' old enough an' ah doubt he can handle it. But... t'anks Nick. It's great you showed up. Ah wasn' expectin' so many people."

Alisa placed her gift card on the table, and took a few plates in hand, starting to serve the fish to the guests of her party.

"I don't think whether I can handle it is ever going to be an issue, thanks," Corey says, just ever-so-slightly affronted. "But you barbarians enjoy your beer." And Corey will assist in ensuring that everyone gets food and Eating Will Commence!

Nick raises an eyebrow. "You, plastered on a couple beers? Yeah right. And Corey... well, ain't like the cops are going to bust in here. He can have one if he wants. Not like its Jack or nothing... that's out in the garage. Glad I could make it, and happy birthday."

Argo hoisted and drank from a beer.

He offered up his gift to Alisa next. It was a thick book, billing itself as the "Complete Guide to Greek Mythology."

"Thou hadst expressed interest in the tales of mine people before," he told her. "This... be the closest to accurate I couldst find, and wouldst enjoy discussing where it didst go wrong."

"Still Corey, ah worry about you like de lil' broder ah ain' nevah 'ad." She smiled at him. "Ah jus' don' wan'cha to ever 'ave to go t'rough anyt'ing bad is all."

Alisa then turned her attention to Argo, putting down her plate and looking at the large book Argo had given her. She chuckled happily,l flipping through it. "T'ank you, Argo! Now ah don' 'ave to go to de library an' read it dere! Ah can take mah time an' read all de stories o' your people in de comfort o' mah own room!" She carefully placed the book down on a table and wrapped her arms around Argo, giving him a great big hug.

Once she thanked Argo for her gift, Alisa turned back to her plate of food, and her bottle of beer. She took a few sips of the beer, before taking a few bites of fish. If anything, Corey knew how to make a good southern meal, now!

"Oh? We do?" She could not help but smirk after finishing a bite of catfish, and a sip of beer. "You spoil me, Nick. An' ah bet de aftah party gonna be a blast, non?" She gave him a sly wink after that comment.

"Well... it'll be a blast if ah don' get mahself plastered at dinner, right? Den again... ah can hold mah liquor." She giggles more, taking a bite of rice, now.

"You know what's extra help with holding your liquor? Eating all of your food." Corey smiles, knowing that yes, he belabors the point occasionally, but it's clearly meant good-naturedly.

"Oui, an' ah got you to t'ank for keepin' me well fed, an' non lookin' like a zombie dat came out o' de cemetery!" Alisa smiled as she peered over at Corey. "An' ah mus' say... you gotta your southern food nailed down good! Dis tastes like sumt'ing Ennie would make! 'course if he was here, he'd be tellin' you dat you needed more hot sauce or sumt'ing. Me, I t'ink it jus' right!"

Argo smiled as he returned Alisa's hug.

"Corey art the most wondrous cook," he agreed. "The threat of zombies hath been well pushed back, so long as he doth provide us with food."

"Oui. Corey won' 'ave us lookin' like zombies or ever go hungry enough to resort to cannibalism." She smiled at Argo's hug, offering him a spoonful of rice in return. "Plus he keeps de outside o' de base an' shop all nice an' green!"

Alisa grinned at Nick, giving him a raspberry. "Even so! Ah tend to really let loose when ah hang out wit' you! Who knows 'ow many beers ah'll end up drinkin' ! Might be enough to out drink Argo here!"

Alisa was so happy, she never got to do anything like this before, and it was just such a blessing!

"Well, if we ever do go all Donner party, I know where I'm calling dibs." he replies with a smirk. "And Alisa - I don't think both of us together could compete with Argo, but we can definitely knock a few back with dinner."

Argo took the spoonful of rice with a smile.

"Any time thou wish to challenge it, but ask," Argo chuckled. "Though not tonight, I suspect. I've no wish to detract from thine evening."

"Oui... ah already cried at dis party, don' wanna up-chuck at it, too." She could not help but smirk a bit more as she looked over at Nick. "Yeah, you right. Heck, ah don' even t'ink a group o' Spring Breakers could be Argo here. We'd 'ave tons o' ambulances on stand by for alcohol poisonin' !"

She casually made her way over to Nick, putting her hand over her mouth as she spoke. "If we go Donner Party, we eat Corey first... probably tastes like veal!" It was a bad joke, but she did get a few giggles out of it... mainly her own. "Sorry 'bout dat Corey! But let it be known we'd never eat you!"

"Pretty sure I'd taste more like roast pork with orange marinade, from what's reported on the subject, but yeah, the point's kind of academic." Corey smiles.
