Alright, I can roleplay now!

Arwen~

I open my eyes sleepily, and look around. For a moment, I'm confused about where I am. But then I remember.

"OMIGOSH IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!" I blurt out, sitting bolt upright in my purple sleeping bag. Several Æs wake up and smile groggily. "Happy birthday, Arwen…" And then they drop back down into their sleeping bags and continue to snore.

Huh, so much for that…I look at the clock above the double doors to the sleeping area. 6:32 AM. Well, I might as well get up now that I'm awake. 

I unzip my sleeping bag and slide my legs out, then crawl on top of my sleeping bag and zip it back up.

My backpack is right next to me. I grab a pair of skinny jeans–I just recently got infatuated with these things–and a dark green t-shirt, and make my way over the carpeted floor to the bathroom. The floor is packed with sleeping bags so I have to be careful about not kicking someone in the face by accident.

…That would be funny.

—

A while later, my blond hair in a ponytail, I pull on my leather boots and walk outside, onto the patio.

A couple Æs are up, eating breakfast and/or texting at one of the carved wood tables. I stand with my hands on my hips on the edge of the patio–I feel like I'm about to explode with happiness, because it's such a beautiful day–and it's also my birthday!

The sky is bright blue, the sun is warm on my back, and the grass is green. I take a deep breath, filling my lungs with the clear spring air.

Then I see a flash of green hair, coming across the grass toward me.

I jump off of the patio, nearly tripping over my own feet as I run across the grass, my arms wide. I collide with Zeon, hugging him tightly. He lifts me off the ground and spins me around, then puts me down, looking into my eyes. "Happy birthday, Arwen." He says softly. Then he laughs, and I laugh with him, purely because it's the kind of day where you can't help but be happy. 

(Note: My stupid phone won't do italics/bold *glares at phone* which is why they're all in normal text)

Cilantro~

Arwen is already up, that's for sure. I mumble "Happy Birthday to you-" and then promptly fall asleep. Which is unusual, but I did stay up late reading, so maybe that's why.

I'm in an unusually good mood when I finally get up, and start rummaging through my bag to see what clothes I packed. I have a green sweatshirt, that Secret said matched the color of my eyes. Yeah right. And some dark jeans, plus a pair of converse. 

Satisfied with my outfit, I head to the bathroom.

Outside, there's a bunch of nicely carved tables. Arwen runs over to- what's his name? Zeon?- and hugging him. I smile. LilyCat gives me a look, like are you sure you're all right?

Secret~

I stretch after getting up. Cilantro has left, but LilyCat still remains, her nine year old face smiling sweetly. She's probably dreaming about candy. I grab my bag, and go off in search of a bathroom.

I've got my dark red sweatshirt and a pair of shorts. My rollerskates look like red converse hightops with white wheels. I peer into the mirror and tug absent-mindedly on my long grey hair. It complements my blue eyes, I suppose, but I'm still self-concious about it.

I venture off into the great outdoors, where several other Æs out and about.  And LilyCat- how'd she get there? Captcha magic, I guess. Arwen runs over and hugs Zeon. Sometimes I wish I had a boyfriend who would hug me, but I brush the thought away.

(Sorry I'm a bit late! Life's been moving fast. Looks like I didn't miss too much, which is good)

Zeon ~

I wake up early, the sun barely touching the sky with it's subtle, yet beautiful, array of colors. I grin, excited that today is finally Arwen's birthday. Or at least, the anniversary of coming here because she's ageless. I shake my head in excitement and crawl out of the sleeping back, avoiding all the others. I am glad Leafpool thought of splitting up the two genders, otherwise, the girls would hate us – we all stayed up until 3AM playing video games.

With only three hours of sleep – being 6 AM – I feel refreshed, combing my green hair, throwing on my trademark hoodie, dark blue jeans, crispy clean socks, and my brand new MW3 shoes. My grin widens even more as I avoid laughing. Today's the day! I adjust my newer shark tooth necklace since I gave the other one to Arwen long ago, and slip out the door silently. Or almost. I trip on the corner of the door, stumbling into the carpeted hall, laughing.

"We're trying to sleep, Zeon!" an unfamiliar AE shouts from the room.

I whisper an apology, still quietly laughing, and race to the patio.

As my cyan eyes swipe the scene, I sigh, relieved. A few AEs – two or three perhaps – lay spread out on the grass, watching the sunrise. I want my presence to be a surprise for my love, so I slip outside and sprint to the edge of the yard, laying on my back, smiling.

Sometimes I smile too much.

Arms folded behind my head, I watch as a few small clouds form, swirling and pushing their way through the sky, competing in a beauty challenge. The sun, a dazzling judge, counts one, two, three, before announcing itself the winner. I roll over as the light peaks even higher, close to 6:30, and catch sight of a blonde bit of hair bobbing up and down excitedly near the door. She must not see me yet.

I jump up and walk casually over, pretending I am no more than another AE resting in the sun, my head low.

She sees me.

Arwen squeals, my favorite sound, and I look up to see her running, converses pounding the soil. Within seconds, I have her in my arms, laughing as I spin her around.

"Happy birthday, Arwen," I whisper, containing my joy.

With beautiful eyes twinkling, she buries her head on my shoulder, smiling. We sit down in the grass, taking in the last few seconds of the orange, red, and pink sunrise.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"Not as much as you," I say, taking her hand.

Quill ~

I wake up to a pair of feet pounding down the hallway. Zeon, I do assume. I silently sit up, wings wrapped around me like a blanket. I manage a faint, millisecond of a smile before collapsing in unspoken despair. Birthdays have never been a favorite of mine, for reasons I must not explain.

I stand up and dress quickly, changing from my regular drab. Today I will look a bit nicer, my mind tells me. So I do. I pull out a simple yet beautiful black dress that reaches to my knees, adorned with small, dazzling sparkles. I do my hair in a half ponytail, slip on my trusty black flats, and stare in awe at the mirror.

I slip Serene's gift under the dresser with my suitcase and bite my lips. I am not one to get up so early, but what else am I to do? Stare at the ceiling in wonder? I grab Albert, my baby albino sea turtle, and smile down at him on my shoulder.

"At least you always make me happy," I whisper, his pinkish eyes blinking softly.

I slip out into the hall, catching sight of more AEs waking up. It must be close to 6:30. With gentle feet, I tip toe down the lavish halls, holding in my breath. I stop by the kitchen, grab a cup of tea, and turn to catch sight of Arwen sliding through the glass door to the patio.

Arwen, my brother's love, I am not at all shocked they are so perfect for each other.

I manage another small smile, wave, and head over to the door. Looking out onto a neatly mowed lawn, I see my brother and Arwen embracing, then sitting down momentarily to view the sunrise.

I turn my eyes to the sky and a true smile errupts. Beautiful, the colors are absolutely stunning. Within seconds, the colors fade as the sun reaches even higher, touching the sky with its rays.

I slip into a corner of the living room, Albert with small sounds on my shoulder, as I engulf myself in a book. That is the best thing to do at the moment. The only thing, might I add. 

I snap awake.

Did something happen? I wonder as I glance outside, it's still dark out. No, I always wake up real early when I'm not at home, sometimes it drives me nuts.

Oh well, I get off my sleeping bag and jump out the window grinning, it drives Myles crazy when I do that.

I turn cartwheels as the sun comes up, wow, it sure is gorgeus today.

The other boys stayed up playing video games last night, I just read my book, I don't get what is so great about video games, I mean, I'm not bad at them but they're just not that fun.

I decide to go back to the house, maybe some of the others want to play a game or something.

Question – Can there be a barn? Or should I just not write about Lock's horses? It is fine if you would rather not include horses, I totally understand. Horses aren't exactly ideal for an AE on the CB…but I can't think of Lock (the character I made up before I knew about AEs anyway) without horse…

🙂 

Top!

I decided I am changing Sib. I had a much more complicated reason worked out, but it didn't make a whole lot a sense and I wasn't sure if I could write it. So Sib will not be leaving the ball early.

I shook my head to clear it. I looked around and saw that I was one of the first ones up. I quietly went outside. I sat on the grass to watch the sunrise. I zoned out watching it, and only came to myself when someone tapped me on my shoulder and I heard a voice behind me.

"I feel like I might just run better off of a small amount of sleep." All of a sudden I felt exhausted. "But maybe not quite this small of an amount…" My last memories as I drifted off were of Lock's confused face as he caught me. 

Top! Poke! Nudge! Goop!
