Part E:

Everything is ready, the food, the cake, the present, the entertainment and a bunch of uninvited guests which are the teachers and some upper classmen.

So yeah, everything is ready.

The only one missing now is the birthday girl which is Ms. Diana. We asked Ms. Leane for help to bring her here without exposing our surprise for her since they're both good friends according to Maple. I hope she's able to pull that off.

By the way, there's a strange cardboard box right in the middle of the area where we chose for the party which is near the apple tree on top of the small hill. On top of the strange cardboard box, there's a note that says for Ms. Diana. Now that I think about it, it's most probably one of the teachers' gifts. They probably didn't have enough time to wrap the cardboard box with gift wrap or something.

After few minutes of waiting, Ms. Leane arrives along with Ms. Diana who is blindfolded.

Wait! Blindfolded? Isn't that making it obvious?

When Ms. Diana is already near us, Ms. Leane whispers to her right ear.

After that, Ms Leane moves away from her and Ms. Diana takes out her blindfolds.

After she took out her blindfold we all scream.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Ms. Diana gives an expression of shock.

Suddenly, tears start forming on her eyes, and she gives us a heartwarming smile.

"Thank you everyone!"

She spoke gently.

I guess our surprise worked after all.

Now it's time for the party.

We sing a birthday song for her as she blows the 25 colorful candles that are on the birthday cake.

Wren did a really good job with the cake.

After that, it's everyone's favorite part of the party which is eating.

Everyone lined up in an orderly manner at the serve yourself buffet which is prepared by the cooking club and start getting some food.

The food cooked by the cooking club looks really good.

I wonder how they were able to manage to cook all these in two hours.

I'll ask them later after the party since they're also here. It would be rude if we didn't invite them after all. Also, gramps and Eri are invited as well.

Others who are too lazy to wait in line started using the entertainment which is a shooting game like the "Time Panic" that Roc and Maple where playing at the arcade that was brought by Kana.

By the way, the one who's currently playing is Roc and Maple.

After the eating part, it's time for the gift giving.

Maple who is in charge of giving the gift, approaches Ms. Diana and hands her a fancy looking rectangular box.

Ms. Diana takes rectangular box from Maple's hands and opens it. As she did, she takes out the content which is a crystal pendant with a gold chain and wears it right away.

I think she likes it.

After she wears the crystal pendant, the crystal changes it's color from white to yellow.

Now that looks cool.

She suddenly picks Maple up and hugs her like a Teddy bear out of joy. Maple tries to push her away in order break free from her but Ms. Diana is stronger so it was useless.

Now it's time to open the second gift which is the strange cardboard box that I've been curious about.

Ms. Diana approaches the box while we watch her from the sidelines.

As she did...

Poof*

"Happy birthday."

A tall and muscular man with brown hair and facial hair who's wearing an eye patch on his right eye, a green bandana and a green camouflage suite pops out of the box and greeted her.

"Eek!"

Thud*

Ms. Diana shrieked while her face turned flush red and fainted afterwards.

"Alright! Whose bright idea is this?"

I said while looking for the culprit.
