Alain's birthday

[key-youth-bert.livejournal.com]

It's almost sunset, and the preparations are almost finished.

Cuthbert, Lilly, and the waitrats they've roped into helping out have set up tables with food out by the lake. On one of them, there's a small CD player currently playing The Beatles.

A few games are set up in the surrounding area--the kind you'd find at any country fair or picnic--but on the whole, there's nothing elaborate.

All that's needed now is for people to show up.


[Summary: Alain has a birthday party. Roland, Cuthbert, Susan, Lilly, Faith, Ace, Meg, and Gavroche attend. There are snow cones and lovely presents and a general mood of "there's doom all around, so let's make this one thing tonight happy and fun".]

Lilly finds it really damn cute that Susan likes her boyfriend's disreputable hat enough to save it for him.

"Oh, Susan, I'm not that evil," Lilly says cheerfully. "We'd just hang onto it long enough for him to wear the other hat a few times. A hatnapping, but the hatstage would not be harmed. Cleaned, maybe, but not harmed."

She looks more than a little relieved at this, but tells Lilly firmly,

"I get to have charge of it."

Just in case.
