Happy Birthday!
Thankfully Sydney had swapped important information with Avery when they were synchronizing their calendars and it had given Syd the head's up that Avery's birthday was coming up. She knew Zoey would want to give Avery something for his birthday. Zoey had made him a card and Sydney took her shopping.

Just what did one give someone one didn't know too well for their birthday?

Syd racked her brain to find something, then she remembered Avery liked music. So she suggested a guitar to Zoey and they went shopping to find one for him. Syd didn't know if he still played, but it was the only thing she could really think of. Zoey liked the idea and of course now wanted to take guitar lessons too.

The man at the shop had been so helpful. All guitars looked the same to Syd, so she relied on the sales clerk to help her. They found a nice acoustic guitar and wrapping it had been a task, but in the end they managed it.

With card, gift and a cake made by Sarah in hand, Syd and Zoey went over to Avery's house.

	"Then I guess I need to man-up and tell her about me as well." Avery decides. "There's a major drawback to what I can do, Sydney. I can't see you directly, with my power. Not in this life, anyway. Worse yet, I can't see Zoey at all." he tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe because you're related to Zoey by blood?" she mused. "I honestly don't know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-05-28 08:05 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know, either. I just...I've never been able to see her." he says. "But I feel better now that you know. I'd really hate for this to come up at the wrong time and mess up what we've worked out so far." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It was a testament to how weird her life had become that all of this wasn't shocking. "It's okay, Avery. Thank you for telling me now instead of in the middle of a crisis." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-05-29 01:04 am UTC (link)
	"So...do you think Zoey's gone upstairs and fallen asleep?" he asks jokingly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-05-29 01:29 am UTC (link)
	"There's not a chance in the Nine Worlds that she's asleep yet," Syd said with a smile. There was no way Zoey was going to go to sleep anytime soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-05-29 02:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah. Well, it was worth a shot. I think she and I will be playing Guitar and Rock Band until long into the night." Avery laughs. "I'd like to take her this weekend if we're ready to start." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't see a problem with it," Syd said. "Zoey's been looking forward to spending a weekend with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-01 03:17 am UTC (link)
	"I've been looking forward to it to. I enjoy her company a lot. Yours, too." he says. Wait, that might have been a little more than necessary. "So, uh, how is Simon?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-01 03:23 am UTC (link)
	Syd blushed a little as she always did when paid a compliment. "He's...good." Syd wouldn't really know. She hadn't seen much of Simon in the past few weeks. Movie shoots did take up a lot of time, or at least that's the way it seemed. "Oh, I wanted to ask you if you'd be interested in going to dinner sometime." Did she really just ask him out to dinner? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-01 03:30 am UTC (link)
	"Good. Glad he's good." Avery says, looking around for a shiny change of topic... "Dinner's good. Um, where did you and Zoey want to go?" he asks. He, of course, assumes that their daughter is coming, because Syd wouldn't ask him to dinner alone unless it was about Zoey. Would she? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-01 03:32 am UTC (link)
	She was thinking about dinner with just the two of them. "I was thinking just the two of us. I'm sure you have more questions about Zoey I'd rather not answer in front of little ears and it would give us a chance to catch up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-01 03:42 am UTC (link)
	"Oh. Of course!" he says, a little more eagerly than he'd intended. "I mean, sure. When is good for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-01 03:45 am UTC (link)
	"How about next Thursday? My sister has been complaining that she hasn't had a chance to babysit Zoey in awhile. This is a good reason for her to do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-01 03:52 am UTC (link)
	"Thursday is great. I'd like that a lot. Do you like Thai food?" he asks her. "There's this place I've heard about from some of my co-workers, and they say it's good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-01 03:53 am UTC (link)
	Sydney smiled. "I love Thai food. It's my favorite, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-01 04:00 am UTC (link)
	"That's great. I've learned a new appreciation for it since my cousin Adrian took me to one in Boston last year. Granted, my cousin and I aren't best friends, but he knows where to get decent food. And he's a fellow Celtics fan, so I have to tolerate him a little, don't I?" Avery laughed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-01 04:08 am UTC (link)
	Syd laughed with him. "I suppose you do. We better get going. Someone has school in the morning and she can be a bear if she goes to bed late." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-01 04:14 am UTC (link)
	"Not a problem. I'd just like to hug her before you go. Again, thank you for today. I had a great time." he says, walking over to the stairway. "Zoey! Come on down, sweetie. It's time to head home." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-01 04:17 am UTC (link)
	"Of course." She smiled. "You're welcome. We had a great time too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-06-01 04:18 am UTC (link)
	"Coming!" she yelled and then there was the sound of feet running down the stairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-01 04:20 am UTC (link)
	Avery smiled. "Hey, slowdown there Speedy Gonzales." he says. "Hug please." he says, opening his arms. "How do you like the room?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-06-01 04:21 am UTC (link)
	Zoey threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "It's awesome! Thank you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-01 04:25 am UTC (link)
	"Awesome. I'm glad you like it. Now, you go home, mind your mom and get to bed on time so you get up for school, and I will see you this weekend." he says. "You two drive safely. Zoey, call me when you get home so I know you and Mom made it. Okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-06-01 04:27 am UTC (link)
	Zoey nodded as he told her what she needed to do. "Okay. I will." She hugged him again. "Happy Birthday, Avery!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
