25 Unicorn Street, Friday Evening

[on_her_korhal]

So.

She had some food in the fridge. And drinks. Non-alcoholic drinks.

So.

She had a couch. And a record player. And--

A birthday party, apparently. Maybe. She wasn't sure.

[ open for some particular people, but hell, anyone who has any reason to be there ]

"Why not? It's your birthday after all," he pointed out as he followed her.

"Not a good break?" Lee asked, noticing the hesitation.

"Fine, then it's pink," she countered, pulling open the fridge.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He frowned at her. "Now you're just being mean."

"I--" Kerrigan shot him a look. "Don't drink too much of that. You'll get a sugar rush and then who has to scrape you off the ceiling?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

He got a dry look as she pulled out the bottle. "You told me to pick."

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"I don't get sugar rushes," he said, glancing at her. "Nice avoidance tactic."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I expected you to pick something nice," he replied.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Shut up." She pushed away from the counter. "That stuff's pretty much liquid sugar."

"Now you're a teenager, too?" Kerrigan smirked, pulling a glass out of one of the cabinets.

Roy snorted. "Hardly, I'm the oldest one here."

River had forced Gunther to let her use the kitchen at the Arms Hotel for baking the cake. The result was most impressive, or so she thought. She showed up at Kerrigan's, knocking loudly and singing to herself, carrying a large box as well as a small wrapped present.

"River!"

The name was out before the door even opened. "...And a cake." She grinned in what she hoped was an encouraging way. "Come in."

"And yet the youngest in spirit," she deadpanned, pouring him a glass of solid neon pink and offering it to him with a smirk.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Fine, he would drink the pink thing. He took the glass from her fingers and smirked at her. "You should get yourself some of that too, so we can toast to your birthday."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"It's still technically not for a month," she said, with a roll of her eyes, and shoved the pink bottle back into the fridge.

She came up with some blue, and started rummaging around for a glass.

River grinned back and entered the house, heading towards the kitchen. "Need plates. It's sticky. The caramel sauce wouldn't stay in place."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"So? This whole party is to pretend that it is sooner, right?" he asked as he sipped from his pink drink. Sweet.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I don't think the rituals would hold up. Kind of defeat the point." Found her old glass, and poured it back with another straight helping of blue neon.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Somehow, she'd already known she'd get an answer like that.

And it wasn't the telepathy, this time. "I've got plates," Kerrigan replied, following after River. "Lee got here earlier."

"You must be Adama," Roy said as he joined them in the living room.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Why's that?" he asked, not quite seeing her objections.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Well, you know..." Kerrigan picked up her glass. "...Birthdays." She shrugged her shoulder. "You know?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Mmmmmm, I suppose I do," he agreed as he leaned against the counter. He had been the one not to mention it was his birthday when she visited him after all. "Judging by the fact that I'm standing here, I'm going to assume that everything went alright last week?"

"He can have cake too," she said, opening the box. The cake was covered in green coloured whipped cream, and an intricate pattern of peas had been arranged on top.
