James sucked when it came to shopping for birthdays or other special occasions. He never knew what to get unless of course he was getting them video games. He /knew/ video games. He didn't know girlfriends, mothers or sisters. Thankfully mother and sister could help when it came to the girlfriend.

Val's birthday had come around again and James had called on the shopping experts. Mom and Anya. He called them earlier in the week and asked for some advice for presents for Val. His email Inbox got flooded with emails from the both of them with suggestions and ideas.

When he finally settled on something he had Mom make the arrangements. The Stark name had a lot of weight and James would need that for last minute plans.

Thursday night he caught a flight east and arrived in New York. Friday was shopping with Mom. He had enough clothes, but Mom thought otherwise so he went shopping with her and let her buy him more clothes. She also helped him select Valeria's gift.

When Sunday rolled around he showed up with a picnic basket stuffed full and a blanket.

He politely asked Roberta to call up for Val.

Jeff had been planning things for his cousin's birthday for awhile now.  No, he wasn't preparing her a male stripper.  That would not bode well for Luna's...  Luna-isms.  Instead, Jeff got her a bunch of new books he was sure she hadn't read yet.  Well, he knew she hadn't read them.  Now that she had a boyfriend, she needed to learn Kamasutra.  Among other things.  He wrapped up her books nice and neat and set them on the table.

The decorations were set up, and Luna's name was hanging in glittered up letters in the entrance to the kitchen.  There was cake, ice cream, and pizza.  Yes, pizza.  And he just waited to hand Luna her gifts.  The rest of the team was welcome to join in on the celebration.

It was the right thing to do. And Scotty could just stick with Daniel and let the girls do their thing.
Besides, he was a very good Rock Band keyboardist.
Scotty sighed and picked up the phone.
"May I speak to Zoey, please?"
