Oh... I guess I'll have some fun, plus it's a rich birthday, so I'll have some fun, although I don't know anyone here, and the only people I've got are my parents. I guess I should just take a seat and watch the event going on...

....Few minutes flew by....

Greetings everyone, today I would like to thank everyone for coming on this special day. Today's the day that I birthed my daughter, someone who has given me more than one reason to be grateful and happy. She is extremely smart, beautiful, and is the only girl that I'd ever love this much. I want to celebrate this day with all of my friends, family, and everyone who has seen Angel grow. I hope you could all enjoy this feast...

..... Rich people are something else. I've never seen a birthday like this before, and I literally don't even know what's going to happen. I guess I'll have to find out. Cheering everybody to enjoy the feast is something else. I can't imagine doing something like this in my whole life, even if I'm rich, I'll still be greedy. Is that the girl? She's cute, although she doesn't seem like the talkative type.....

Dear, that girl Mel is really beautiful. What if she and Arianna became friends?

It's worth the shot, but it's going to be a little hard, I think.

Honey bun, can you go bring some punch for us? Me and your father will be over there talking to the rest of the people.

Sure.... This is my chance to try the rich people's stuff. I'm soooo excited for once....

Arianna made her way to a table filled with delights. There were little cupcakes, cheesecake, and other delights.

She made her way to the punch. There she was standing right in front of me, the birthday princess.... She had me stunned the first time I saw her, but up close she seemed normal....

I haven't seen you in a long time, my friend.

Oh, it's been quite a long time.

But as usual, we were busy doing business.

That little girl that you have looks absolutely stunning.

Oh Mel, she's a sweetie, I'll tell you that, but she's quite strange.

Gasped... We have another strange one as well. She doesn't like to interact and socialize much.

Love, Mel has the direct problem. I'm worried when she grows up she wouldn't make any friends.

I had sent her to bring us some punch. Maybe since our daughters are so similar, maybe they will get along.

Oh myyy, that's an excellent idea, dear.

Hey, you look good.

Um... Thanks, you look alright yourself.

... I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say. Is it that hard to make friends or talk to people? I don't understand....

You look pale. Are you alright?

I am just..!!!!

...She's blushing uncontrollably. Is this girl alright or should I....

What's your name?

....

....

..... Um.. aummm.. unmm.. Ariiiiii....

My name is Mel, nice to meet you, Ari. Just take the punch out already. Your hand is shaking badly. I hate to say, but I don't bite. I hate this party, so you want to take the punch and let's go somewhere away from the crowd?

Um.... Okay.... I'm nervous. My nerves are literally shaking, is that even possible? Whatever....

So this is my treehouse. My father built it himself. Let's go to the top. I hate to just pick you up out of nowhere. You don't have somewhere you need to be?

Nope, I don't.

....I'm totally dead....

But that is a tall ladder to climb, isn't it, Mel? Aren't you scared?

Of what? Let me test the strength by jumping on it here.

I guess it's pretty strong.

....I'm sweating in fear, but I guess I'll give it a try, plus it looks totally awesome....

Wow, you have your own mini house up here.

Yeah, I come here when I don't want to deal with my family, basically most of the time.

Wow!!!! Look at that shelf of books. Are they all yours?

Yeah.

Being rich must be so much better.

Not really, Ari. It might look so fancy and so fabulous, but in reality it's just... I'd rather be poor with a loving family than to be rich with a family that's basically always busy.

... Inside of Arianna, her heart beat beat fast, racing just to finish up with a warmth to the soul...
