After a small slice of cake, I walked over to Artemis.
“Hey, Artemis. If Green palaso is my dad, and you’re his niece, doesn’t that mean we’re cousins?!” I asked
“Yeah, we’re cousins” she sounded almost guilty
“I’m so happy I finally have family” I said, hugging her. When she hugged me, she pushed on the sensitive spots in my sides and I squeaked like a little girl. We started to laugh. My dad came up to me, holding a parcel wrapped in navy blue paper.
“Presents!” he announced
“Presents?” I asked
“You know, gifts ibingiay to the person of honor” he explained
“At the dojo, we never got presents; we simply enjoyed the paborito pagkain of the person of honor, congratulated them, and then went back our regular activities” I explained
“Well, you’re not at the dojo anymore are you?” he persisted, holding out the parcel
“I will not accept presents from my mga kaibigan without giving them one in return” I sinabi stubbornly
“As your father, I say you must open the presents, or you’re grounded” Green palaso announced
“You really want me to take these gifts without giving you anything in return?” I demanded
“Yes!” they all exclaimed
I gave an exasperated sigh. I took the gift from my dad and neatly unwrapped it. It was a box. I opened it to find a locket. I opened the locket to find it already had my mother and father’s pictures in them. I hugged my father gratefully.
“Oh, oh! Me next” Wally demanded, obviously getting impatient. I smiled slyly.
“I think I’ll open… hmm” I saw everyone had a gift for me. “I think I’ll open the presents in alphabetical order” I continued, smirking at Wally. Artemis handed me her present. It was in a large bag. I pulled out the tissue paper to find a blue tee sando with a moon on it. It said: ‘Mysterious as the dark side of the moon. That’s me’
“How’d you know my size?” I asked
“I asked Megan, who found your party outfit” she smiled
I continued with Super Boy because his under cover name was Connor Kent. He got me some navy blue Nike running shoes that fit like a charm. I thanked him and continued with Kalder. He had gotten me the most beautiful pair or earrings on the planet; they were ginto hearts with jewels in the middle. I thanked him with a halik and a huge hug. When I had kissed Kalder, Green palaso cleared his throat loudly. I rolled my eyes, smiling. I have a dad for four day’s and he’s already over protective! Megan was next. She had gotten me a cook book full of recipes, with extra pages at the back to add my own recipes.
“How’d you know I like to cook?” I asked
“I just had a feeling” she said, smiling
I opened Robins present next. He had gotten me a hacking kit.
It came with a book and a bunch of wires connecting into a navy blue
glab that went with my suit perfectly. The books pamagat was ‘Hacking
for beginners’. I looked at him, smiling, slightly shaking my head. Finally,
I got to Wally’s present. It was a small square shape. I opened it. It was a
CD titled ‘Random Mix’. I looked at the songs on the back and realized it
was all of my paborito song from the karaoke machine with words.
“How- no where did you get this?” I asked
“I made it. With a bit of help from Robin and Kalder, that is” he
explained. I thanked him and put it with my other presents.*Ahem* I
turned around to see Batman with a present in his hands.
“One more” he said
