Happy Birthday to us
Sydney answered the buzzer to the front gate when it rang and was mildly surprised to find it was the UPS guy. There weren't many packages delivered to the compound. She opened the gate and then went to the front door to sign for and receive the package.

Once the UPS guy (cute one too) was gone, Syd looked at the label. It was for Grace. Time to play delivery girl.

Sydney knocked on the door to Grace's room.

	Grace's stuff had been arriving to her of the course of the week, and she was just down to unpacking the last of it. "Come in," she said as she put some more of her clothes in the closet. Though she really did see why her Mom even bothered sending her winter coat... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Syd pushed open the door. "Delivery for you," she said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thanks," she said, taking the package with a smile, "Probably just some socks that Mom forgot to send or something." She opened it, to find a card and a box containing a brand new iPod and a gift card to iTunes.

"My birthday was a couple of weeks ago," Grace explained, setting the box down on her new desk that her and Simon bought over the weekend. "Mom probably didn't have time to send anything until now."

	"Your birthday?" Syd asked. She wondered if Simon had known it had been Grace's birthday. "When was it? I'm sorry I missed it." Syd's own birthday had come and gone without notice. Though she liked it that way. She wasn't one for fuss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace smiled. "Don't be sorry, I didn't really mention it to anyone, with everything going on, Mom dropping by, saving the city from a hostile zombie takeover...all that good stuff. It was the seventeenth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Eighteenth birthday is a big deal. You and I are going out now," she said. "Lunch and a little shopping. You can pick something out from Zoey and me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't have to that," Grace said, "You've already been so great helping me adjust and get settled here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know I don't have to do it, I would like to do it. Birthdays should be celebrated and we can celebrate together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace laughed. "Okay then, just let me get my purse and throw some shoes on and I'll be ready to go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-03-04 05:00 am UTC (link)
	Syd smiled. "Good. I'm going to go change and leave a note just in case the natives need to reach me." She left Grace's room and went to go get change and leave a note. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace changed her sweatpants for jeans, threw on a pair of sneakers, grabbed her purse, and went downstairs to meet Syd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-03-04 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Syd was dressed in jeans and a blouse. She gave Grace a smile. "Ready? I'm thinking some new clothes for each of us, ice cream and whatever else you want. Sound good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-03-04 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Grace nodded, smiling. "Sounds great to me. I'm still learning my way around the area, so I'm counting on to pick the place. And thank you, Syd. You really don't have to do this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-03-04 05:51 am UTC (link)
	"Of course I do and you're welcome. Birthdays should be celebrated and I haven't gotten myself something yet." Syd grabbed her purse and keys. "I know some pretty good places to shop and know where the best ice cream is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-03-04 06:12 am UTC (link)
	"It's your birthday too?" Grace asked, "I'll have to get you something while we're out, then." Mom sent her some money, and this was certainly something to put it towards. Syd had been great to her. "What are we waiting for then?" Grace grinned. "Let's go!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The nineteenth was my birthday. I didn't mention it because I don't like a fuss. How about you buy me an ice cream and we'll call that my present?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-03-04 06:22 am UTC (link)
	"That works," she said, "Maybe we could go to a movie later...I'll spring for tickets too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-03-04 06:29 am UTC (link)
	"Deal," Syd smiled. "Ice cream and a movie are perfect. Did...." Syd wasn't sure how to ask this. "Did Simon get you anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-03-04 06:37 am UTC (link)
	Grace shook her head. "I didn't tell him. He had lot to deal with with Mom calling him every other to make sure that I was settling in just fine, and the zombie attacks, so I didn't want to bother him. He's been great helping me settle in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-03-04 06:40 am UTC (link)
	Syd nodded. "Okay." Which means Syd will be telling him. She knew Simon and knew he wouldn't want to miss this. The little things were important. (Reply to this)(Parent)
