Celebrating the legal drinking age.
Sammy's birthday gift to herself was skipping her morning workout and spending the time in bed reading the Christmas gift from Iason, with a megamug of coffee nearby and pad of paper to make notes on. Her plans weren't any different from the previous birthdays. She would go to class later, then have an early dinner with whichever parent was free that night. It would be Mom since Dad was on the helicarrier. She'd already received Dad's note with instructions to buy herself something pretty on him. Funny Dad. Pretty was something matte black and a trigger that was juuuuuust right. With Qamar in Haiti, there was no reason to change the usual plans.

Still, it would have been nice to find a hovercar in the garage with a great big red bow.

Vernique knocks cheerfully, holding a fairly small silver-colored box.

She called a distracted invitation from her comfortable pile of blankets and pillows. "It's unlocked."

"Hey," Vernique says as she comes in grinning. "Congratulations on reaching such a fantastic age."

Sammy sat up, stuck her notepad in the book and closed it. The book was then tucked under a pillow. "Thanks. What are you doing up so early?"

"Some idiot put Investment Analysis too early for my taste. Wanted to handle this beforehand." She hands her the box.
"I thought at length about the perfect outfit, but then I decided to go with something smaller."

Cushioned inside the box is an ASP 9 mm (right-handed).

Sammy's eyes widened in excitement when she lifted the top of the box. "Oh, it's beautiful!" It was in her hands a second later and getting a thorough examination. Sammy knew her handguns.

"I'll need you to help me pick out the perfect outfit to wear with it soon."

Vernique smiles gleefully. "I'll be glad to."

"Mom's tired of me raiding her closet for outfits to wear out in public. I can't blame her, but her taste is just so good I wanted to ride her skirt tails." Sammy's taste ran to comfortable, not necessarily classy. Vernique's was just as perfect as Mom's. "You have the eye to make sure I don't match up the wrong shades."

Vernique preened. "Thank you. I've always valued your gift for accuracy. Although when it comes to shades, I think for you, it's hard to go wrong with a classic black and white ensemble...especially with a classic spy pistol."

Oh yes...pistol! Sammy admired the handgun again. Her 'ooooh, shiny!' moments were always reserved for the best in firearms. "The last time I tried to buy a little black dress, there seemed to be a dozen shades of black. The shoes nearly did me in. I finally swiped a pair of Mom's. I better get them back before she misses them."

There was a wrapped gift with a card left in the kitchen. Anya had planned on giving it to Sammy, but with the impromptu trip to Vegas and LA, she left it where Sammy would find it.

Inside the card was a gift certificate for two trips to the spa and inside the package was the latest edition of Gun Digest.

Scuttlebutt traveled quickly around the mansion and when James had learned that it was Sammy's birthday, he had to get something. Shopping was not his thing, so he went with the safe bet. Chocolate and guns. He got her chocolate from Godiva and a copy of the Shooter's Bible.

Gifts in hand, he went looking for Sammy.

Sammy was up and moving by this time, in the kitchen filling her commuter mug for the trip to class and opening the gift left in the kitchen while eating a piece of toast. Vernique's gift was tucked into her bag for an after class run to the shooting range at SHIELD.

She smiled at James when he entered the room. "Good morning."

James smiled. "Hey. Happy birthday," he said and offered the gifts to her.

Her smiled widened. "Thank you." She took the presents and gave him a quick hug. "That's very sweet of you."

James turned bright red as she hugged him. "You're welcome. I hope you like them and I hope you have a good day."

"The day is getting better all the time," she assured him. "Your mother has taught you well, Grasshopper. Godiva is the source of all goodwill."

"Actually Misha gave me the advice on chocolate and girls. He said it was necessary for survival."

"Guess who taught him that one," she said with a grin. "These will get me through my homework later, and the book is just what I need for some light reading." If one could call six hundred pages of lovely shooter goodness light. It was all in the subject. "Whoever is responsible for your good taste in matching up gifts to individuals, I love mine."

"They've been working on me," James said, they being his crazy family. "Thanks. I'm glad you really like them."

"Tell them not to work on you too much. You're already a great guy." She finished opening the other gift, read the card and picked up the magazine. "You and Anya are thinking alike, or I'm that predictable. I'm probably that predictable."

James turned bright red. "Thanks." He smiled. "That whole dimensionally displaced twin thing I think." It was an ongoing joke in the family.
