Double birthday celebrations
The 1812 Overture played in the background as Tamara walked out to the backyard of Excalibur headquarters, American flag cake in hand. Though they were England, it was still the Fourth of July, which a good number of them celebrated. It was also Tamara's birthday. She was twenty years old today. She'd picked up some cupcakes when she was at the bakery earlier. Singing Happy Birthday wasn't a requirement, but it wouldn't hurt if she got to blow a candle out of one of the cupcakes.

"I come bearing baked goods!" Tamara said with a grin, setting them down on the table.

	"Great!" Leech declares as he sidles up to her. He presses into her hand a very small brown paper package containing a Tom and Jerry wristwatch. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Tamara opened the package. She smiled when she saw the wristwatch. Her favorite cartoon when she was little. "Thanks Leech," she gave him a quick hug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Casey was busy getting the keg set up when he saw Tamara. He head over towards and said, "The food looks great."

Then he took a small wrapped box out of his pocket and handed it over to her. "And Happy Birthday." Inside the box was a silver Claddagh Ring that he though would fit her and with his luck probably would.

If she didn't know what it meant he would be happy to explain it to her.

	Tamara gave him a hug. "Thanks, Casey." She unwrapped the ring and slipped it on her finger. "This is beautiful," she said, admiring it. "Does the symbol stand for something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

“Aye it does,” Casey says, “The rings called a Claddagh ring. The crown stands for loyalty, the hands for friendship, and the heart for love. How a person wears the ring lets someone know their relationship status. Worn of the right hand with the heart facing out means your available, the heart facing in means in a relationship. You’re definitely not ready to wear it on the left hand.”

	Quinn had gotten word that Tamara's birthday was coming up. He had managed to get out and buy her a pair of gold earrings. He honestly didn't know what else to get her. He wrapped them and left them in her room. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The earrings were lovely. She made a mental note to thank Quinn later. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Jenny discovered Tamara's birthday from the others and ordered a online gift certificate to Marks & Spencer for her. She thought it would be a good way to give Tamara an idea of the shopping possibilities available in London. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Tamara would have to take Jenny with her when she went. Shopping sprees were only fun if you had another person there to share it with. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Joe knew, of course, it was Tam's birthday, just like he'd memorized most, if not all, of the birthdays of the girls at Xaiver's. He'd made her a couple of mix-tape CDs of songs he hoped she'd like, and if she was around, might even be able to work up the courage to ask her out. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	When she'd unwrapped the CDs, Tamara went off in search of Joe to thank him personally. Eventually, she found him. "Hey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cant_stop_this 2010-07-06 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey there yourself," Joe said, turning the TV off as he got up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tamara brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "I want to thank you for the CDs," she said, "They're very nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, good," Joe said. "I'm glad you liked them." "You, ah... you have plans for dinner?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	glinting 2010-07-07 01:06 am UTC (link)
	"Nope." She grinned at him. "Unless you want to change my mind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I think I could do that," he said with a grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	"Happy Birthday T!" Sophie said walking in with a bright blue box. Inside was few framed photos that Sophie had taken back at Xaviers, with Tamara and a few others. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Tamara unwrapped the box eagerly. "Thanks Sophie!" She wrapped her in a hug. "These are beautiful!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"When I was packing up I found them, thought you would like them." "I also have a few of the boys a few years ago when we went to... oh I don't remember. They are in your room though." Sophie wispered with a smile. "Joe and Misha in swim trunks and all. Sent a copys to Lyta too." (Reply to this)(Parent)
