Streamers? Check. Cake, ice cream, plates, napkins, forks, and actual food? Check. Lots of guests that should arrive? Check. Yep, everything Reth could see was all ready for the big party for miss Bella. He and his siblings had worked hard to get everything in place, and by working hard a good part of what they really meant was getting mom, uncle Blake, and uncle Drake to help out. "Hehe, miss Bella's gonna love it. Hope everyone gets here okay."

"Don't worry Reth, it's all taken care of. Some students are even going to be coming down between classes, and one or two got special permission to miss a lesson so they could be here. You did a great job with all of the decorations, now who's going to be greeting everyone as they get here?"

"Hmm..." Reth pretended to give it some serious thought then proudly exclaimed "You are Uncle Drakey!" After all he didn't want to miss out on any of the fun himself. And Drake was the one who owned the school so he should be the greeter right?

"Heheh, alright. I guess I can handle that job. Has the guest of honor arrived yet?" Wouldn't be much of a birthday party without the birthday girl after all.

Bella was waiting outside to see if his cousin would soon arrive to the school she did have a nice blue dress some fine earrings and a nice nickles. She only did have it on because he know her mother would like it and she did not want to make her sad on her daughter big day. She also know they did come a little later because they need to visit someone importing. *well the buss should be here around now* She look down the road to see if she could see it. and yes the bid yellow bus was driving up the road and she could see the little sliver furry kitty jumping happy up and down on her seat when she see her.

Mega was so happy to see her fave cousin and she could not wait to run out and give her the biggest hug she could give. *See that Mr. bus man that is my fave cousin over thee. * She smile and point at her and jump happy

The bus man stop and help her getting her big back down and sit it on the ground so she could pull it on the weals.

Bella smiled at her and took her in her arms and give her a big hug and walk her inside the school* Hey little star. How are you to do day? You know i missed you and very happy to see you.*

Megan smiled and gently lick her face and hug her * I am happy to see you to and I am doing really good. I begin to learn a fun game called curling.*

"Hehe, don't worry about her I'm sure she'll be along as soon as some of her family gets here. Her one relative's always so happy to see her and she's still young so I bet she's at the gates just waiting for everyone. What we should be concerned about is how many sweet treats we have here and how little healthy food. Reth, Scarlet, are you two sure you got all the baking done the way I wrote it down on the list?"

"Of course mom, but we made a few little changes first. Lookit, there's still good food. Chicken an' dumplings, an' pasta an' all sorts of things."

"Well yes Scarlet, I can see that, but why is just about everything sugar coated?"

"Aw that's silly mom, the fish isn't sugar coated at all. Neither's the lasagna. Besides it gets everyone ready for the cake doesn't it?" Ah kids, if it has sugar on it then it's suddenly edible no matter what your tastes according to them. Even things like yucky broccoli were tasty with sugar.

Megan smiled at her. and jump down on the ground and pule her back int the school. * Shall I go in and wait whit the other one on you or is it just a normal party whit we just say hey and happy birthday and eat some cake.*She smiled at her and give a little peak to look at the other person at the party. And she could see happy for her and she take some small shy steps inside she just want to get to know them before she could relax.

Bella smiled * Well I just thing it is a normal party but you might get to know anyone you might become friends with and maybe send mail to the future* She smiled and walk back form her and see how she look at the other person and she want to make sure that she was right behind her every second if she got a little bit too shy

Drake smiled and got down on one knee so he could give the little one a proper greeting and say hi to Bella. "Well hello there, nice to meet you. I'm Drake, what's your name?" As Drake was saying hi Reth was bouncing around nearby with a big grin on his face waiting for miss Bella to come in and to introduce him to her relative.

Blake was waiting for Bella to come in too, so he could ask and finally clarify who she would call her "date" for this or if she didn't want to introduce anyone to her father like that. Come to think of it would her family mind if they thought she was seeing someone so much older than her? Maybe Verdy was the safer bet for something like this.

Megan look at the big Dragon that go down on her knee* I am Megan Victony the first and cutest* She giggle and look right in his eyes and blushing really much by getting a lot of attention by a person much bigger than herself. But anyway she was still small and everything was big for her. She gently pull her fine silver tail up front and hugs it. She look at the little dragon tiger guy jumping up and down.

Bella Smile and walk over and give a big kiss and hugs him really tight and smiled at him and wack her tail gentle * Thanks for the last time* She whisper to him and gentle rub his chest and walk over to Drake and gently pet Megan on her head* Thanks for letting me having this party for today. My mother and father will arrive later. Tehy need to meet someone*

"It's my pleasure, especially if it makes people happy. You have a nice family, I'm looking forward to seeing your parents when they do arrive. No rush though, I doubt all the food, presents, and cake will disappear that fast." Not unless these little tykes really dove into the food. "Well Megan, I'm sure that Reth over there would love to meet you. He's heard lots of good things about you from Bella here and I'm sure you've probably heard something about him too right?" And if not she was about to. Reth could sometimes go on and on about himself for hours when he was nervous.

Megan smile and walk over to Reth and give him his paw and smild at him gentel* Hey Reth I am Megan nice to meet you.* She smild and her big tail was waging over the floor and give a littel bash sound every time it turn and go the other way. She smild and he did look nice to him and she love the way he was looking really excited and that could probably be someone she would play whit as the party was going to be a nice one. She did look at all the food on the table that did look really tasty and she did give a littel lick on her libs * Did you made some of the food to the party* She smild looking into his pretty eyes

Bella amild at him and walk over to Crimson and give her a nice big hug.* Thanks for making this party I really do not hope you spend too much money on it. Or ells my dad would probably give you a nice paycheck to help and I can work for free,* She siled at her

Reth happily shook her paw and smiled. "Nice to meet you Megan. Hehe, yes I made sure to get all of it cooked up, made some of it myself. Wanted to make a nice impression for everyone." And it looked like he succeeded too. She was pretty, just like miss Bella said she would be. Reth was all smiles and wondering what the heck he should talk about, mom always said you should start by showing how thoughtful and observant you are by complimenting the other person. Shame his mind was a blank at the moment.

"You're welcome. It wasn't a trouble at all, and not too expensive. Had plenty of old party supplies still hanging around and cooking stuff up is fun for me and the kids. And the restaurant's in good capable hands while I'm here. Looking forward to finally seeing more of your family."

Megan smile at him and she smiled at him and she look a little bit shy She did not want to hive a bad look at her. * Thant sounds really good I would like to taste some of it.* She smile and gentle poke to him in the side of him whit her big silver tail whit big black dots. She use to do that if she wanted to get to know another person maybe they could have a nice little tail hunting. That was her favorite game.

Bella smiled at crimson * Well they should be around here for about 30 minuets. So not so much time. But they might want to have a little fight. Because my mother have find out that my father have been seeing another woman. Even if it is not true. I know my father he would never pic another woman. And my mother have a really big group of gossip friends. So maybe he was just on a mission. But I don't know

Reth smiled, his tail swinging out after hers and trying to catch it. "Hehe, sure, there's lotsa sweets an' we probably have anything you could want. I'm happy to cook if we don't." Reth wasn't like most kids his age, neither were his siblings for that matter though. Usually all a kid ever wanted to cook was mac and cheese or making a sandwich.

"Oh I'm sure it will all turn out alright in the long run. And any amount of time they can stay will be great, hopefully long enough to see you opening presents though, hehe." Though she did worry if the other mob fellow showed up what would be done. As long as he wasn't armed or had a whole bunch of followers it shouldn't be a problem though, he couldn't possibly try to sneak Bella out when she was likely going to be the center of attention.

Megan giggles and try to wack her tail lose and gently begin to run around him and she giggles and she was going to get really excited by it* Well I can't wait to see what we are going to eat even if my mother did say that I should hole again whit all the sugar. But I don't think she understand that I need sugar to be active. * She smiled and she was enjoying this game and even if she did lose the game she still find it fun.

* well I am sure that they will not be that much problem * she smiled and look over at Megan and Reth playing a little wild game. She only hope that she did not hurt him if it came to that. She look out a window and she could see a black car driving up to the school. * Looks like they are about to come and I can wait to see what they got to me as a present.

"Hehehe, sugar keeps us going all day long. I'm gonna getcha, hehe." Reth was happy to play the little game, sort of like tail tag. "Hehe, then we get lots more food and keep our energy up even more." And then the two of them could team up on one of his siblings.

"I'm sure it's going to be great no matter what it is. Hehe, parents are good at that, they always find something really nice to get for their kids that they totally weren't expecting. Do you think they brought along any friends?" She was still a little concerned but now that the parents had made it here that took a little weight off of her shoulders.

Hehe Now you are not cause I am the fastest little kitty in all Alaska * she giggle and try to grab his tail by the end of it and try not to fall down at the ground because her mother would kill her if she find out she hat got a scratch or tow. * Yay that is what we are going to do. Maybe tag team someone* She giggle finily she grape his tail by the end. and try to pull it close to her.

Bella smiled at her* Well maybe a driver but don't think they will bring Anny other of the workers from the mob. But I don't really know about it* She look as the door open and she could see the parents come walking in whit some present under their arms and still holding and so it could be that they hat talk things over maybe

Vincent Victony and his wife Donna walk right over to her and give her a nice big hug and kiss oh each chin. And really many of them. * Congratulation whit the big day and for going into the adult world now. And I am sure you will grow more bigger and be more pretty almost like you mother.* He smiled and hug her and look right into her sliver eyes that he got form him

Year big boy go over and put the present on the table* Donna give a little push whit her hips and walk over and give her girl a big warm hug and lots and lots of chin kiss and almost a little too much of them. * Well why don't you show me how you new chef is?'

Bella smiled and walk over to Crimson* Mom this is crimson. And year this is Donna or as I call her mama* She look at him it was so typical of her to wear a big prom dress even if it is only a birthday. But sure she was going to be a adult now so it was going to be something big

"Hehe, yeah, maybe we go get my sister over there." Reth didn't mind that she did catch his tail, or that she pulled it close, he had fun trying to tug it away. "We wait for her to be away from the sweets table though, don't wanna waste all those treats."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Donna. Your daughter is an excellent cook and I'm proud to have her working in my restaurant. This little party is the least we can do for her on such an important day. I hope your trip was a good one, no delays or obstacles?" Not that anyone would probably want to bother her, it was more likely the husband they'd pester but it was still a polite thing to ask. And hopefully they'd be able to stay for a while and enjoy the good company and food.
