A petite teen was propped up against a blue dragon in a large room, legs stretched out in front of her and crossed at the ankles.
Something that you didn't really see everyday.
The girl looked up with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, but today isn't 'everyday' is it? It's Fury's birthday!" She swept out an arm, indicating the decorations crowding the room - streamers, banners, balloons, tables laden with cake, party food and pretty much anything else you can imagine at a typical birthday party.
Not counting the food for the dragons, of course. That wasn't exactly something you could call typical.
From her place sat against Venus, Liv nodded in satisfaction. The room looked good, if she did say so herself. Time to wait for the guests. Oh, and Tara too. It would be a bit rubbishy if the birthday girl didn't show up.
"Erk. Hope I sent out all the invites."

Tara laughed, walking in. "Nice on Liv!" She was wearing two silver wolf necklaces and her usual black-beaded necklace her friend Hanna had made. Her shirt was just a plain red one in true Tara too-big-for-me style. Her shorts were light purple, again in Tara's 'who cares what the word matching means?' style.
She turned and waved towards the door, a few dragons filing in. Esmeya, Sheakria, and Mica had come this time.
"Couldn't get anybody else to come." she shrugged. "But oh well, more fun for us all!"

Liv laughed, jumping up from where she was sat using Venus as a pillow.
Just like Tara, in true Liv style, she was dressed in a pair of jeans and a light grey fitted hoodie. A brown leather belt circled her hips and the clasp jangled a little as she trotted over to her friend. The previously rain-soaked (saved by my Dad and a newspaper!) but now fully recovered leopard print flats clattered a bit as she came to a stop.
"Happy birthday Tara! And hi everyone - long time no see!"
Pulling a hand from behind her back, she presented a not-so neatly wrapped present. "Heh - sorry. I'm rubbish at doing wrapping for presents. But hey - the thought that counts, right?"
Behind her, Venus shook her head in exasperation. "Took her long enough to pick the present! The wrapping took twice as long - I nearly fell asleep."
A coughing sound from the doorway revealing a host of characters. Leander, Aisling and Fenrill all wandered in, followed by a skulking feathered Rafael and a random gold dragon who looked a little puzzled to even be here.

Esmeya grinned to Fenrill. "Hey!" she said, coming over with Mica close behind.
Sheakria went to a corner, scratching runes across an emerald she'd brought with her.
Tara took the present with a grin. "Well it IS the thought that counts." She threw her arms around Liv in a tight hug for a moment before proceeding to unwrap the present.

Liv chuckled as she returned the hug, and watched as the badly wrapped present became not-so badly wrapped as the paper was torn off.
(Make it what you want - my imagination isn't turned on at the moment. xD)
Fen smiled and hugged her friend. "Long time no see, Es! And Mica too!" The gold dragon mooched over to the group with a rakish smile, glad to see some dragons that he recognized better than his own reflection. "Remember me?"

There was a loud crash from the direction of the door, and Silverrstorm walked in, holding her head. "Ouch. I just forgot how tall I was AGAIN." Walking beside her was a young girl, dressed in very bright-colored, contrasting outfit, wearing a party hat that went all over her head. Silverrstorm had a somewhat crumpled hat that was far too small for her. "Okay, Silverrstorm, give back my hat now. Please." Silverrstorm nodded. "Sorry Kai, it's kind of crumpled." she said as they switched hats. Behind them, a medium-sized, deep red dragon, a green dragon and a slightly smaller blue dragon followed them. Another dragon, a big black one about as big as Silverrstorm, walked in and headed straight over to Sheakria and mumbled, "Hello." The blue one walked over to a quiet corner and started unpacking a large backpack containing exactly six presents. One wrapped in silver paper, another in blue, another in green, another in slightly tattered red paper, another in black and the last in neon rainbow paper. The girl, Kai, walked over and looked at the presents. "Sh'ree, when I helped you wrap this, the paper was NOT that tattered!" The red dragon cringed. Then Kai picked up her present and called them all over to pick up the presents they had gotten and carried them over to Tara. "Happy birthday!" they all said together.

Venus, who was still curled up comfortably by the wall, blinked in surprise as a large number of dragons tumbled into the room. Isandre faded into existence next to her, translucent apart from the blue glow of her eyes, which looked surprisingly real. Turning to Venus, she queried,
"New people?" Venus nodded.
"Must be."

Tara grinned. "Wow we actually have new people at a party! Been a long time since that happened!" She took the present from Kai, setting down the stained glass wolf that Liv had given her.
Sheakria looked up from her carving and blinked. "Hello... And who might you be?"
Esmeya laughed. "HOW could we not remember you?" She flicked the golden dragon with her tail-tip which had no spike.

Liv nodded, tilting her head as she looked over the newest party-goers, getting the measure of them as she did to most new people. "I know - not since... ooh, Kikka, maybe? I can't remember, it's been that long! Anyway - welcome!"
The gold dragon chuckled. "I'm just that memorable, of course! Haven't seen you guys for a fair time. Everything gets very quiet and boring when you're dead, doesn't it?"

"Yeah it just happens to liven up once in a while." Esmeya laughed, poking fun at her own pun. Mica shook his head. "You and your puns Esme..."
Tara nodded. "Not since Kikka."

Good!Rafael rolled his eyes. "They haven't got any better since you died, Es. In the slightest."
Fen laughed. "True, true. But we love her really." Her grin was sly, gold eyes sparkling. "Especially you, Raf."

"Hehe got him there!" Mica chuckled. Esmeya broke out into laughter, seeing Rafael's reaction. "Man we really needed a party."

Raf snorted.
"Huh. We did, but if you lot carry on like that, I maybe flounce off, diva-style." The blue dragoness stood opposite him couldn't contain her laughter at that one.
"Death hasn't changed you either, Raf. Well..." Fen cast a glance at the other Rafael, who was skulking by the wall. "If you can call it death."

"Sort of... sort of not." Mica nodded. He glared momentarily at the evil!Rafael before bursting out in laughter.
"Birthday glomp!" Tara had announced, jumping onto the sulking raven-feathered Rafael.

Fen joined in the chuckles, earning her a speculative glance from Venus at the other end of the room, closely followed by a grin. Raf smiled, shaking his head at their antics. "Trust you two, the jokers."
Evil!Rafael, meanwhile, was quickly becoming less sulky and more murderous. "Please remove yourself from my person before you become part of the birthday meal."
