The 30th Sundrop

[tangledintower]

So...what exactly does one do at a birthday party, anyway? How does one go about throwing it?

I mean, I know that my birthday isn't until the 21st, but it's my first birthday party and I want to do it right, so that everybody has a good time. I just don't know what to do!

Pascal was surprisingly not very helpful. And he usually knows everything! But he's at a loss too...I wonder if he's ever had a birthday party. He doesn't know what day his birthday is, so he and I usually celebrate our birthday's together!

Oooh, I wonder if I should throw him a birthday party too! I should ask him if he wants one!

...I'm talking too much again, aren't I? Oh well. So, like I tried to say, birthday parties! I don't know how to plan or throw one. What do I do?

And it's zero calories when it's your birthday.

Woah. Really?

Mother did say I was getting chubby...

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Seriously? Clearly she was grasping at straws, there.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

No, she was probably right. Probably. Maybe.

I don't know anymore, honestly. So many of the things she used to tell me don't make sense, or weren't true to begin with...

Complicated relationship?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

More than I ever thought. She always did everything to protect me, because she always knew best...but she never let me go outside, and it seems like every reason she had to protect me doesn't really apply outside the tower...

I don't know. She's not here for me to talk to, so I can't figure out these things either. It's weird.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Being stuck here can make relationships a little complicated.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

And I guess ours was more complicated than I really thought about...

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Relationships usually are.

[Siiigh.]

Oh well. I can't really do anything about it now, can I? Worrying about it won't help while she's not here.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Did anyone else come with you from your world?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well, Eu--Flynn is here! He didn't come with me, though, he came later. Pascal came with me!

[Pascal pokes his head up from his place on Rapunzel's shoulder, changing color to match Dulcie's hair.]

I bet it's nice to have friends from home here.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Do you have any friends from your home here?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Streamers! Streamers are also very important. And balloons!

So when are you going to have your birthday party?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

...I take it that's a no, then...

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

[She is slightly more persistant than the usual person. But Dulcie's avoidance it not to be detered!]

Are you thinking of having it on the 21st, or are you going to wait for the weekend?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Might as well do it on the 21st, it's the longest day of the year!

And if you don't have anybody from your home here...it's okay, you know. I mean, people go home and people come here all the time. And you get the chance to make more friends here. You can make new friends and still have your old ones too...

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

I like the friends I have here. There... isn't really anyone from home I could see, anyway.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry...

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

I'm not. Not really. I'm certainly making up for it in The City.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I am too. I mean, I had only two friends at home. And until recently, it had only been one.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Do you like being here?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I do, actually!

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Me too.
