Sandbar/Silverstream/Ocellus/Smolder/Yona: *happy birthday noises*
Gallus: Sigh…
Sandbar: Hey Gallus!! C’mon, don’t think we forgot to invite you to my birthday party!!
Silverstream: Yeah, Gally!! We saved you some cake this time!!
Ocellus: *unamused* We’re not talking about that incident again.
Gallus: Sigh…
Sandbar: Gallus? What’s wrong?
Gallus: …
Silverstream: I think Gallus doesn’t like birthday parties.
Smolder: I wouldn’t be surprised. He didn’t even want to be a part of my hatchday party the other month.
Ocellus: Come to think of it, Gallus left in the middle of my hatchday party, too.
Yona: Griffon not want to be a part of Yona’s birthday party either.
Silverstream: Gallus went to the bathroom and never came back during my birthday party.
Smolder: I always thought it’s because he got sick from whatever it was you were serving, Silver.
Sandbar: Gallus, is that it? You don’t like birthday parties?
Gallus: No, it’s not that. Except for the part where I got sick.
Smolder: *smirk*
Gallus: We’ve been together for over a year, and, well, do you know what hasn’t happened yet?

Sandbar: *GASP* Gallus, we’ve never celebrated YOUR birthday!!!
Gallus: And everytime I see you celebrating your birthdays, I… I feel left out.
Silverstream: What are you talking about? We’ve invited you every time!!
Yona: Griffon get invited to every birthday party, but griffon always leave halfway through.
Smolder: *pout* I’m just glad I’m able to celebrate my hatchday.
Ocellus: Actually, we didn’t really do hatchdays under Chrysalis’ rule, so some of the changelings don’t have a hatch date recorded in Pharynx’s changeling census, so Thorax decided to have a big collective hatch day for those who–
Gallus: *yelling* At least YOU have a celebration!!
Ocellus: *whimper*
Gallus: Ocellus, wait–
Silverstream: That wasn’t nice, Gallus.
Yona: *angry* Yona think griffon should not be invited at Sandbar’s or anycreature’s birthday party ever again!!
Gallus: No, wait–
Sandbar: Guys, stop!! Let Gallus speak. Gallus?
Gallus: *sigh* It’s not that I don’t like birthday parties or griffons don’t do birthday parties. It’s, well… You already know how I don’t have a family, right?
Sandbar: Yeah, we remember.
Gallus: Well… *holding back tears* I’ve never had a real birthday party either.
Sandbar: Wait, what?
Ocellus: Hold on, you never told us when your birthday is.
Sandbar: Gallus, is that true? Have you kept your birthday a secret from us?
Gallus: …yes…
Sandbar: Gallus… Can you tell us why? We won’t judge you or anything like that.
Gallus: Well, it’s not that I wanted to keep it a secret… it’s just that… *whimper*
Sandbar: *pats Gallus* Don’t worry. You can tell us.
Gallus: I… *crying* I don’t even remember my own birthday anymore!!
Silverstream/Ocellus/Smolder/Yona: *gasp*
Sandbar: Wait, REALLY?!
Gallus: *wiping away tears* I never had a family or anygriff to wish me happy birthday back in Griffonstone, and even when I was celebrating my birthday by myself… one day, I just forgot and I’ve never celebrated again.
Sandbar: Jeez, I’m so sorry, Gallus.
Gallus: Don’t be. I’m going back to bed. I– I’ve already ruined enough celebrations. Just… wake me up when it’s all over.
Silverstream/Ocellus/Smolder/Yona: *silence*
Sandbar: Don’t go.
Gallus: …what…?
Sandbar: You said you never had a birthday party, right?
Gallus: …yes…
Sandbar: And you said it’s because you can’t remember when your birthday is, right?
Gallus: *nods yes*
Sandbar: Well, why don’t we celebrate it right now?
Gallus: Wait, are you sure?
Sandbar: *gives Gallus his party hat* Happy birthday, Gallus. *hug*
Gallus: *hugs Sandbar, teary-eyed* Thanks, Sandbar.
Silverstream: *hugs Gallus*
Ocellus/Smolder: *hugs Gallus*
Yona: Group… HUG!! *hugs everycreature*
Gallus/Sandbar/Silverstream/Ocellus/Smolder: AGH!! *laughs*
