Kia slowly woke up and dressed into a pair of pants and shirt.
She limped over and took a quick bath.
She tidied up and sat back in her bed.
As she sat down, Kylath finally woke and gave a large yawn.
Tokagae, who was resting on her back, gave a little bellow of surprise and then layed in the bed.
[shadow=red,left,300]Isn't today your birthday?[/shadow]~It is.~
[shadow=red,left,300]So go and tell your friends and celebrate as the Weyrwoman did.[/shadow]~I'm sure they don't care. Besides, thay have probably forgotten.~
The young Weyrling streached her arms and stayed in the bed, looking up at the ceiling.
Tokagae chirped a bit and flew to Kia, curling up next to her.
Kylath walked up to her and nudged the girl's hand.
[shadow=red,left,300]Go![/shadow]~No, Kylath.~

K'dan walked close to Kia's room so he could talk to her. "Kia I hear today is your birthday. Happy Birthday", he said to her.

Kylath smiled triumphantly.
[shadow=red,left,300]See, someone remembred![/shadow]Kia glared at the dragon and then smiled at K'dan.
"Thank you very much," she said with a smiled.

"You want to go and get something to eat. My treat", he said to her. He knew a birthday was important. His family tried to do right by giving him a party but they could rarely afford to get him something, normally his mother just made him a special meal. He wanted Kia to have a better birthday than he had, though he wasn't complaining. He knew that was the best his family could do for him.

Christae walked into the Weyrling Barracks. She held a small, boxed gift in her hand.
"Kia, are you awake?" She called. Then she walked in when she heard voices. "If my records and memory is correct it is your birthingday. I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthingday and give you a small gift. I have something from Rhia, G'han, Sh'iron and me but that will have to wait." She handed the girl the small box.
Inside the box was a tiny carving of Kylath's hatching. Her copper hide and the creamy colors of her egg were painted onto the carved skybroom wood. "The wood is skybroom so it shouldn't break that easily. We had an arttist visiting the Weyr and he saw the Hatching. I asked him to do that for me because I knew your birthingday was coming up."

Kia shrugged and got up.
Kylath followed after her and Tokagae sat on the now 15 turn old girl's shoulder.
He wrapped his tail around her neck and chirped happily.
"Just a moment, K'dan," Kia said, trying to tame her hair.
She took a metal comb and began to use all her stregnth to puch it through the knots.
"I think I need to train with you and G'han," she said with a sigh and a smile.
As Kia gave up and put the comb down her eyes brightened with excitment when she was given the gift.
She peered inside with glee when she saw the mini-Kylath.
[shadow=red,left,300]I will call it mini-me![/shadow]"Ok Kylath," Kia said and patted the dragon, placing the gift, back in it's box, on her bed.
She didn't want to scratch it already.

K'dan smiled when Christae gave her a gift, then gave a frown. He didn't get her anything. When she mentioned the training he said, "I don't know. G'han can be pretty rough sometimes", he said. He lifted his sleeve to show a small bruise on his arm. "I came at him and he countered", he said. He tries to take it easy on me but it is hard for him. His father trained him intensly so I guess some of that passed on to him. Plus the fact that he forgets his own strength sometimes", he said.

B’kin stuck his head out of his room wondering why so many people were heading down the hall, away from the door. R’dan was walking down the hall now, heading to Kia’s room to wish her a happy birthingday.
B’kin stopped R’dan and said, “What are you doing here? You’re not a Weyrling.”
“I am here to wish someone a happy birthingday,” R’dan said, “Or did you forget that it was Kia’s birthingday?”
B’kin stopped grinning; “You won’t tell her I forgot will you?”
R’dan put his hand to his chin, as if in deep thought, “After that tone you just spoke to me with, maybe I should tell her. I am a full rider, not, as you pointed out, a weyrling.” He glanced at B’kin, “I may not tell Kia you forgot… only if you find her before me.”
B’kin glanced up from his boots to notice that R’dan was grinning now, he’d been serious about the first part but now it seemed like he’d forgiven him. Without waiting for R’dan to say go, B’kin sprinted down the hallway to Kia’s room. R’dan was close on his heels and Ronoth behind him. B’kin had just finished oiling him when he heard R’dan coming down the hall.
The weyrling practically dove into Kia’s room and said, “Happybirthingday!” It all came out in one breath so it’d be miraculous if Kia actually understood what he had said.
“Happy birthingday,” R’dan said just after B’kin.

Kylath gave q uoet yelp when B'kin dove into the room.
[shadow=red,left,300]Now you can't have it alone.[/shadow]
"Well, let's go eat." she said as she pulled her hair back and then let it fall again.
Tokagae chirped happily, wanting to eat as well.

D'ran woke up in time to see Aureth silently walking into his Barrack.
~Where were you?~
[glow=blue,2,300]Everyone is going into a barrack. I don't remember who it belongs too, though.[/glow]
~Let me get dressed and we will go.~

Nike ran into the Barracks panting. Ruanth was trotting behind her.
The white hide was gleaming with a fresh bath and oilling.
Zim was chittering madlly at her bonded, while Crystal zoomed around Nike's head.
"Happy birthing day Kia!" Nike said handing over a small box. In her other hand was another box. She had used two of her many favors due to her for Kia's and D'ran's gifts.
In the girl's box was a copper dragon necklace. The dragon was made from copper with her head looking over her shoulder. Her wings were only slightly
out and her tail was curled around. The chain attached to it on one of the neck ridges.
"Hope you like it!" Nike said grinning. A blue rider had just dilivered the gifts from the Minner and Smith Craft Halls. It did take awhile, but it was worth it.

Kia peered into the box and smiled.
"Both my gifts are so beautiful. I just hope the only thing Kylath has similar to a Bronze is size so it doesn't go to /her/ head," she said with a grin.
The Weyrling put on the necklace and admired the little Kylath.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
D'ran walked into the Barrack and looked around.
"What's going on," he asked.
Aureth smiled and sat by Ruanth.

Nike turned around to glare at D'ran.
"It is Kia's birthing day. Or did you forget?" She hissed at her friend.
Her crimson hair making her look even more evil.
Ruanth cocked her head at Aureth.
Hello! She said happily.
want to get a bath after this?
Nike heard her dragon's words and then turned on her.
"Oh no Ruanth! I am not bathing you again! I already washed you this morning!
Not again!" She said groaning.

D'ran looked around unsurely.
"I forgot what day it was! I have a gift in my Barrack that I got a friend of mine ti make," he said to Nike and ran off.
Aureth gave a dragonic laugh.
[glow=blue,2,300]I would love too! With you around I am always clean![/glow]

Now K'dan felt really bad. He didn't get her anything, how could he have been so foolish to forget to give her something, though it wasn't like he could really afford anything. Hello Ruanth. How are you and your mine today?

Nike groaned and glared at her dragon. Zim and Crystal were attached to her back.
That was when Nike noticed how small Ruanth was. All the other dragons were growing atleast a few inches a day.
But Nike swore on the first shell that her white only grew six inches since she hatched. No, not even six!
About four really.
We are fine Hydrath. You?

Aureth smiled at Hydrath.
[glow=blue,2,300]Hello, brother. Do you want to come get cleaned with us. I'm sure Ruanth won't mind you coming.[/glow]D'ran continued to try and find his gift that Sunni had moved because it was in his normal spot to sleep.

I am fine but my rider seems a bit worried. HE didn't get Kia anything. Mine do not worry I am sure others didn't get her something too.

I won't mind! I think he should come, then we will all be clean! Ruanth said.
Nike rolled her eyes then smiled at Kia. "Well happy birthing day again."
She said fingering her gold dragon on the moon cresant necklace. She never took it off. It was always on.
The Healer smiled, remembering her foster mother tell her about her mother.

D'ran came in with a little box and heard a short message from Aureth.
He smiled and nodded reassuringly to his dragon.
"This is from me and K'dan," he said.
The Harper hoped that K'dan wouldn't feel embarrassed anymore.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Kia thanked everyone and took thenew gift.
She glanced inside and saw a painting of Kylath and Tokagae playing together.
"Everything is beautiful," she said happily.

"It is?", K'dan asked and was going to protest but Hydrath glared at him and told him he better not. "I mean it is", K'dan said satisfying his dragon. I would love to be cleaned. I like being around Ruanth, when I am I get cleaned. K'dan gave a sigh. "Nike I think your dragon is a bad influence", he said jokingly.
