Birthday in a New World

It was the evening and the house was set up for my party. Our house was decorated with balloons and expensive tapestry and we had a large party room which was basically the front entrance. There were snacks set out on a table and drinks that were being served by Sam and Sherry. It wasn't anything seriously grand but it was definitely fitting for a noble party.

After 15 minutes of waiting, the first few guests arrived. Everyone was greeted by Sam on their way in and helped themselves to snacks. I could see that some of the guests had brought their kids as well. I was just walking around the area and was just watching the people coming in.

A few minutes had gone by and the room was full of guests that my father was talking to. I saw my sister talking to a group of girls her age so I walked over.

As I was walking over, I got bumped from behind and turned around to see a little girl on the floor with a snack.

"Ow... Sowwy, I ran into you." she said. I looked closer and I saw that she actually had cat ears on her head. She was wearing a small black dress.

"It's no problem." I helped her up and Sherry came over to clean up the snacks on the floor. "What's your name and how old are you?" I asked.

"My name is Feris. And I'm 4 years old." She answered as she was brushing off her clothes.

"I'm Brandon. And I just turned 3 today."

"Oh so it's your birthday. Happy birthday. I want to eat cake!"

"Thanks. So it seems that you're parents know my father."

"Yeah my dad sells stuff to your dad sometimes."

'A merchant probably.' I thought. "Well, I've never talked to anyone my age before, this is my first time with so many people around."

"Me too. I usually just play at home with my toys while my dad works in the shop."

Me and Feris kept talking to each other for the whole time until it was time to cut the cake and open the gifts. We ate cake together and sat down at a sofa. I was telling her about fictional stories from Earth such as superheroes and such.

It was getting late and some of the guests were starting to leave. I saw my father talking to another man who had cat ears. He was wearing a standard black suit for the occasion.

They walked over to where we were sitting and the man spoke.

"Feris it's about time to get going now."

"Aww. I was having fun talking to Brandon!"

"Oh. Could it be you found a friend?"

"Yep! He was telling me cool stories from books."

"Hello sir. My name is Brandon." I said as a greeting.

"Ah this is my son. This is his birthday." My father said.

"You can call me Mr. Jay. It seems that you've befriended my daughter. We really do have to go sorry. But you guys will surely meet again. Feris wants to be a magician like her mother so she will be going to the magic academy. If you want to go I can forward you a letter for you guys to go together."

"Oh. I didn't know Mr. Jay has ties to the magic academy." My father said.

"Yeah actually I have a friend that's an instructor."

"Well this seems to be a talk for another time. I will send you a letter about my son's answer to have that letter prepared if he wants. It is getting quite late so we don't Sam and Sherry staying up too late."

"Pardon us then, we will take our leave. Alright let's go now Feris."

"Okay. Bye Brandon see you next time!" She said her goodbyes.

"See you later!"

And that was how my first day in this new world ended. So many people around and I made my first friend. She may be much, much younger than me mentally but since we will grow up together it's fine. Technically I'm 24 mentally including this life's years.
