Surprise!
It had been a very busy week, but things were finally ready for Steve’s party. Misha and Charlie had taken him out so they could decorate the mansion and get all the tables for food set up. Once the tables were set up, there were enough hands to get all the trays of food out on the tables in very little time.

Anya wouldn’t have asked Jarvis to cook so much, so it had been catered. Jarvis had insisted on making the cake though.

Hor'dourves consisted of cocktail shrimp, chicken satay, beef satay, peking dumplings, pigs in a blanket among a few. Pizzas, a wide selection of various Chinese food selections, chips, pretzels, Doritos, popcorn, cola, diet cola, root beer, Sprite, punch (unspiked), and cider (not hard) were also available for consumption. There was even a chocolate fountain with pieces of fruit available for dipping.

Brightly colored balloons and streamers filled the rec room along with a large banner saying ‘Happy Birthday Steve’. It was hanging over the tables. One table was set aside for gifts and many brightly colored packages filled the table.

Now all they had to do was wait for the birthday boy to arrive.

Sammy helped with the decorating and setting up, glad to lend a hand. With her poor gift giving skills, she activated her gift card-fu and left a birthday card with a gift card to Dave & Buster's on the table with the other gifts. If nothing else, Steve could spend some time with the guys getting loud and crazy.

She looked around for ways to be useful, but with everyone helping it wasn't an easy task.

	Daniel hadn't known what to get Steve. It had taken him quite a while to come up with it but he had gotten Steve tickets to the Red Sox spring training. He had also snagged him a few tickets for Fenway. It left Daniel's wallet a little sad with him but it would be well worth it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha helped with the decorations and then retreated to the kitchen to camp out near the coffee pot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Val entered the rec room, a small envelope in hand. She'd helped Kristoff in the making of his gift for Steve, but she thought it would be nice for her to pick up a card and a gift-card for GameStop on her way over to the mansion. Val placed the envelope on the table and looked around to see if there was anything that she could do to help finish set up. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The rest of Steve's gift from the FF family was in a rather long box neatly wrapped and set on the table. Kristoff was rather proud of the alloy he'd used in the arrows: durable, lightweight. He'd enjoyed making weapons more than he'd like to admit, but he certainly wasn't going to go around including such things among the work he sold off. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	James was camped out in front of the television and in the middle of a game of Guitar Hero. Not possessing strong shopping skills, he ended up getting Steve a gift card to Gamestop. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hey there," Val said, making her way over to him with a smile on his face. "Guitar Hero, huh?" A wry grin crossed her face. "Mind if I join you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eliza had no idea what to get Steve. Some protective gloves for archery and a new quiver were the best ideas she had. She felt silly for it but knew they would come in handy. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Not much. Just hanging out." She smiles then glances around at the people gathered. "I have a question. When you were a kid did Mom ever read you Where The Wild Things Are?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Toni had, after much searching, eventually settled on the Wii Crossbow and the accompanying Zelda game for Steve's present. She had been forced to admit, not that she would ever actually tell anyone she'd admitted it, that Steve was pretty good for Anya. She'd seen the look in his eyes when Anya had been captured. She knew he cared. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hey you!" Anya exclaimed and then followed it with a very tight hug. "Missed you." Not seeing her best friend was a huge downside to living in Cambridge. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The hug was enthusiastically returned. "Hey yourself, girl." She smiled, but also briefly flashed concern. "How you doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya's phone beeped and she checked it. It was a message from Darlene. They would be here in a few minutes. "They're almost here!" she announced to the room. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"C'mon Steve," Charlie said at a volume level slightly above his normal one. "Let's go in the rec room and we can take turns kicking Misha's ass at Gutiar Hero." Yeah, his teammates should get the hint. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Some people, like us at the A team headquarters, are too busy having lives to play video games all the time," Misha shot back. "That could be your problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The birthday boy good and surprised, Val made her way over to James, a slice of birthday cake in hand. "Not feeling very social?" She gave him a small smirk. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Anya walked up to Val and put an arm around her. "Don't be discouraged," she said. "He likes you. If he didn't, he would have stayed and brushed the whole kiss off." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Letting Misha follow him, Charlie made his way over to where James was standing in a corner. "Hey there, James." He gave him a small smile, saying that he wasn't there to tease him. Mostly. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	He took up the position on the other side of James and shoved his hands in his pockets. Classic ‘guys hanging out on the street corner’, that was them. “It’s always a good move to let the girl think it’s all her idea,” he said with a nod. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya caught up to her boyfriend after all the chaos of his arrival. She was patient enough to wait to give him her gift after he opened all the others. Best for last, or something like that. She couldn't even try to hide it or really wrap it. Bow in hand, she walked up to Steve. (Reply to this)(Thread)
