Halliwell Manor, Thursday

[snarkyprincess]

Today was Summer's birthday. Moving in yesterday handwavily with Chris in a future San Francisco was one of the best decisions she ever made. She couldn't think of a better present.

She also couldn't help but think about how old she would actually be in this future. It kind of made her head hurt.

Chris was glad that Summer had finally moved in. It was nice having her there.

"So what do you want to do to celebrate?"

[absolutesnark]

"I don't know," Summer said thoughtfully. "I'm just so happy to be here with you. That's a good way to celebrate."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Aww. Well, we could go out for dinner or something," Chris suggested.

[absolutesnark]

Summer smiled. "Dinner sounds good. As long as you are there."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Got a craving for anything in particular?" Chris asked.

[absolutesnark]

"I could go for Italian or Chinese or...anywhere that has cake," Summer replied, grinning.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris laughed. "Well, we could go to the bakery and get a cake. And why don't we go out for Italian? We always order in Chinese."

[absolutesnark]

"Italian it is," Summer agreed. "And I never turn down anything from a bakery."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like we have plans then," Chris said.

[absolutesnark]

"Uh huh," Summer replied. "And we don't even have to deal with traffic to get there."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Chris said.

[absolutesnark]

"Love you," Summer said, leaning closer to kiss him.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Love you, too," Chris said, happy to oblige her with a kiss.

"So, present now or later?"

[absolutesnark]

"Do you really think I am going to say later?" Summer smirked. She was a big fan of presents.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"I didn't think so," Chris said. "But sometimes you surprise me."

He pulled a small box out of his pocket and handed it to her. "Happy birthday."

[absolutesnark]

Summer opened the box and looked at at her gift in awe. "Oh, Chris. This is beautiful. Thank you."

He got another kiss just for that.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Glad you like it," he said, wrapping his arms around her.

[absolutesnark]

"I love it," Summer told him sincerely, snuggling closer. "And I love you."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"I love you too," Chris said. "I just hope it fits."

[absolutesnark]

"Guess I'll have to try it out," Summer said, chuckling a bit. "Such a hardship."

[blessed_twice]

"Dude, if you have to ask what she's craving, then I have taught you nothing," Wyatt said as he wandered by.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Dude, shut up," Chris said. "We're talking about going out to dinner for Summer's birthday."

[blessed_twice]

"Be sure to have him home by ten o'clock, Summer," Wyatt said. "No drinking or smoking, and no parking on Lover's Lane."

[absolutesnark]

"Don't worry, I will have him back in one piece," Summer snickered.

Some point during the afternoon, that phone of hers would be ringing.

Two years of dating, even if it was a while ago now. Of course Shawn could remember her birthday.

[absolutesnark]

Summer glanced at the caller ID and smiled softly. "Hi Shawn."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"Summer," he greeted in return, grinning a little even if she couldn't see it.

"Happy Birthday. Hope I'm not catching you in the middle of celebrations or anything."

[absolutesnark]

"Nope, you aren't interrupting anything," Summer replied. "It's good to hear from you."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"Wouldn't forget this one," he assured her. "You enjoying your day?"

[absolutesnark]

"Yeah, I am. Just moved to San Francisco. In the future," Summer replied. "So, how are things?"

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"Good," he said, chuckling. "They're... really good. Got Lana living with me for the summer so... " He was pretty happy.

"Future, huh?" he asked. "Things change much in twenty years or so?"

[[so sorry, toootally failed at replying last night. I blame sleepiness!]]

[absolutesnark]

"Sounds like you and Lana are doing well," Summer said, and she sounded genuinely happy for them. "There are some technological advances, but for the most part? Pretty much the same."

Like she would forget her best friend's birthday? Please.

That would be Summer's phone ringing as Savannah called her to chat.


[[OOC: SP as in pain and laying down.]]

[absolutesnark]

"Hey Savannah," Summer greeted cheerfully. Of course she recognized that phone number.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Happy birthday!" Yes, Savannah did indeed start singing for her.

Good thing Savannah was a great singer, huh?

[absolutesnark]

Summer grinned. "Awwww! I'm glad you called."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't about to forget my best friend's birthday."

[absolutesnark]

"And I appreciate that so much," Summer said sincerely. "How are you doing?"

She'd been a bit worried about her friend.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Almost anyone else and she would have lied. However, she found that she couldn't lie to Summer about something like that. She also knew if she tried to avoid the question, it would make her friend that more determined to get the truthful answer.

It saved time to just answer when she first asked.

"I'm getting better," she said quietly. "Seeing you last week really helped me start."

[absolutesnark]

"I'm glad I could help in some way," Summer said quietly. "And you know you can call or visit anytime. I'll be here."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Summer. You know I'd do the same for you if you need me, right?"

[absolutesnark]

"Of course I do," Summer replied. "That's what friends do."

[likethestore.livejournal.com]

And that? Would be the phone ringing again.

K-Mart was so not missing her Big Sibling's birthday, thank you.

[absolutesnark]

"Hello?" Summer said when she answered the phone.

[likethestore.livejournal.com]

"Hiiiiii!"

[absolutesnark]

"Hi K-Mart," Summer grinned, recognizing her voice. "How've you been?"

[likethestore.livejournal.com]

"Meh, not bad," K-Mart said. "Mostly I've been worrying about Savannah, but that's the only big thing in my life right now. And she seemed happier after she came back from Vegas. Or at least in a little better frame of mind."

[absolutesnark]

"That's good that she is feeling better," Summer said. "And I'm glad you're there for her."
