for my birthday i become a real person

The eighteenth birthday is the best one. Bella is no longer A Minor. She no longer needs Charlie's or Renée's permission to do random things that real people are allowed to do. She still can't drink, but she doesn't feel like throwing her cognitive edge out a window anyway.

Also, she is going to get a cake.

"This cake," Bella says, "is the chocolatiest and best cake."
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

"Hi, Janine!" says Bella. "Want some of my birthday cake?"
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, conspiratorial or challenging. (⑷ wanna try?)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-10-12 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes please!" says Janine. "Happy birthday!"

"Comin' right up," says Alice. Janine gets a piece with a single guttered candle, which she carefully extracts from its chocolatey surroundings before beginning to eat.

"Thanks!" says Bella.
edgeofyourseat: Dancing wildly, grinning. (⑹ ride it where I like)

"And thank you for the cake!" says Janine. "Where did it come from?"

"I had it made special," says Alice.

"It is delicious."

"Death by chocolate," remarks Bella, pretending to keel over.
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, conspiratorial or challenging. (⑷ wanna try?)

"Don't drop your cake," Alice advises. Janine giggles.

Bella's cake is nearly gone anyway. She polishes it off, thinks, and then cuts herself another sliver.
edgeofyourseat: Grinning, friendly. (⑵ extraordinarily nice)

[personal profile] edgeofyourseat 2012-10-12 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Alice beams. It is clearly successful cake!

Bella gives him a chocolatey kiss.
edgeofyourseat: Smiling, affectionate or amused. (⑶ your wish is my command)

He loves her. He loves her a lot.

He also kisses back very cheerfully and with a complete disregard for their audience.

Bella cuts it out before it descends into unreasonable PDA, though.

"What'd you get for your birthday besides cake?" asks one of the random hall residents.

"Besides this lovely cake? My mom sent me a make-your-own-candle kit and a batch of homemade crackers, and my dad got me some books I wanted," Bella says.
edgeofyourseat: Dancing wildly, grinning. (⑹ ride it where I like)

Alice hugs her briefly and then goes to grab himself another piece of cake. Mmm, chocolatey.
