Monday morning was always very slow for both Blade and Icy, especially during the summer. The two boys always looked out for each other, and became close friends. Even though the two were in completely different states, and haven't met up, they were still closer than a brother and sister. Blade had just woke up, slowly regaining consciousness and focusing on his environment, waiting for his pupils to dilate. Once he was fully awoken, he picked up his phone and noticed a blinking light on it. His tail started to wag slowly as he laid in bed and checked his phone. It was a text message from Icy from 8AM saying "Good Morning :3" Blade took a quick glance at the clock as it read 12PM.

Blade jumped and sent a message back to Icy as quick as his paws could type. "Good Morning" he said in reply. "Wow, finally up huh? You lazy bum =w=" "Shut up, I was sleepy X3" "Yeah yeah, suuure" "Hey, you do the SAME thing at night by going to bed before me, saying you're 'sleepy'" "...Touché...touché..." "X3" "Anyway, how're you? Tomorrow is your big day!" "Yeah, I'm really excited, but..." "?" "It's just...I know that everyone is happy for me, and they're all saying it to me, but it kinda feels like they're either doing it out of sympathy, or they're doing it because they feel forced or something, like they feel obligated to say 'Happy Birthday' to me..." "Oh come on! You know that ain't true! They say it because they care and they want you happy on your special day! Hey, I really hate to do this, but I'm going to be really busy all day, this is going to be the last time you can talk to me today. I'll talk to you tomorrow on your birthday, I have a gift for you :3" "Ok...and oh..Ok...Bye Icy :c" "Come on, no sadness, be happy :3 I'll see you later, bye bye!"

Today was his big day. Blade woke up as he did the day before. He grabbed his phone quickly and saw that he had 15 new messages. His tail was waving back and forth and he kept smiling as he read all the birthday messages. As he cycled through, he noticed that not one was from Icy. His ears started to lower and his tail slowed down into a stop. "He didn't send me one...and he said he had a gift too...did he forget?" He kept asking himself. He looked around the room and noticed no one was there. He looked through his messages again and read a message from his other friend, Jacob, whose house he was staying in. "Hey Blade, Happy birthday! You'll probably get this when you wake up, and I just wanted to say my family and I left to go to my grandparent's house, so you have the place to yourself for tonight. We'll be home tomorrow before you wake up, sorry we didn't take you, we didn't have any room in the car. Bye Blade!" Blade felt heartbroken, being left alone on his 18th birthday. He set his phone down and put his paws on his face, as if he was about to cry. Just then, the phone vibrated again and he slowly picked it up and read the new message. "Sorry, my phone ran out of battery, but P.S. Your gift is waiting for you downstairs in the kitchen."

Blade set his phone back down and got dressed. He threw on some shorts and plain dark green t-shirt. His shorts were long enough to cover his knees, and his t-shirt was big and roomy for the skinny Shepard. He grabbed his phone and wallet and set them in his pockets. He opened up the door to his room and slowly walked down the stairs to the kitchen. As he was scaling down the steps, his wail was slowly wagging and following him from behind. "I wonder what it is, what did they get me? Is it a new game? Money? I can't wait!" He picked up the speed and ran down the rest of the steps. He arrived at the kitchen door and pushed it forcefully open and looked around. Just then, he noticed a bright blue, chubby fox with a red t-shirt cooking on the stove. The fox turned around and looked at Blade. "Hey there! How're you birthday boy? I cooked you breakfast, so eat up, we have a lot planned today." He said with a smile as his tail whipped behind him.

It was Icy. Blade started to rub his eyes and pinching himself just to see if he was dreaming, but he wasn't. Icy was REALLY there, he was standing just a few feet away from Blade. "H-how did..." "How'd I get here?" Icy said to complete Blade's stuttering sentence. "Y-yeah." Blade replied, still in amazement. "Well birthday boy, you know your 'roommate' Jacob? Well for a while, he and I developed a plan to get me here on a plane the day of your birthday." As Icy continued his story, he set down Blade's breakfast on the counter in front of him, and pointed at the stool for him to sit. "So yesterday when I told you that I was going to be busy all day, I was actually packing and getting ready for my plane ride. By the time I arrived, it was late at night, so I stayed in a motel. I woke up at about 8AM, just before Jacob and his family left, I came over and stayed down here till I heard you wake up, so I started cooking breakfast, and now...here we are!" Icy started to wag his tail and smile at Blade. Blade had not touched his food yet, he was still in amazement at the fact that Icy was ACTUALLY there, standing and smiling right in front of him. He began to shed a tear and slowly walked up to Icy. "Woah! Why are you crying honey? What's wrong?" Blade wrapped his arms around him, as Icy did the same. "I can't believe you're here...I just can't believe it..." Blade said with a small sob. "Shh, it's okay, today is your special day, no sadness, no tears, okay dear?" Icy said as he rubbed Blade's ears. "Now eat up, we're going to have fun today." Blade nodded and went straight to his breakfast to gobble it down.

Blade finished up his breakfast as Icy took his plate and washed it, shoving it into the dishwasher then cleaning his paws. "Alright," said Icy "because you're a sleepy head, all that I had planned before is a no-go. So now we're going to have to wing it." "Sorry..." Blade said as his ears began to lower. "Hey hey! What did I say about sadness dear? Cheer up, I don't mind, as long as I get to spend the day with the birthday boy." "O-ok." He replied as his ears went back up and his tail started to wave back and forth. Icy grabbed his keys and his wallet as he headed for the door. He pulled out an envelope and threw it to Blade, as he barely caught it. "Happy Birthday dear, you keep that. Now come with me if you want to live." Icy said jokingly as he smiled and walked out the door to his car. As Blade closely followed, he opened the envelope and pulled out a birthday card. Blade wagged fast as he read the witty puns and other humorous things on it. When he opened the card, he noticed there was $100 tucked inside with a note from Icy saying "Here you go honey, Have a fantastic birthday." Blade smiled big and put the money in his wallet, setting the card down on the table and walking out the door. He got into the front passenger's seat of Icy's car and smiled at him. "Where to?" "How bout we go window shopping or something?" "Sounds like fun!" Blade replied as his tail wiggled behind him.

The two boys arrived at the mall. Icy had just parked his car far away from the entrance. They hopped out of the car and locked the doors. While they enjoyed their nice long walk to the entrance, they exchanged stories, and other friendly banter. They walked around they mall as other teenagers would, browsing every store, giggling, etc. After a while, they arrived at a video game store. The two played the demos inside, browsed the inventory, and stated which games they had, played, and wanted. As they searched the games, Blade came across a new installment to one of his favorite games and started to freak out. "OH MY GOD! THIS IS OUT!? I LOVE THIS GAME! I would buy it...but it's like $60" Blade sighed and started to walk out of the store. "Oh well, come on Icy, there's more to see, this is a really big mall!" "I'll be right behind you." Icy quickly grabbed the game and brought it to the white wolf working the register. He paid for the game and walked out of the store with a small bag. He sneaked up behind Blade and put the bag in front of his face. "Here you go dear, Happy Birthday" he said while his tail whipped back and forth. "Y-you bought this for me?" "I sure did! Now come on! Like you said, this is a big mall!" Icy grabbed Blade's paw and held it tight. Blade began to blush as they continued to browse around paw-in-paw.

6:30pm

=========================================================================================================================================

The two boys started walking out the exit. Still talking and having fun as they did the whole day. They made their way to the car and got in. Icy giggled and wiggled his tail. "How does dinner sound?" "That sounds great! Where are we gonna eat?" "Hmm," Icy thought to himself, "How about an Italian restaurant?" "Mmmm, that sounds delicious! Let's go!" "No problem sweetie." Icy turned his car on and pulled out of the parking spot. He turned on his GPS and searched for an Italian restaurant. "Sir, I found a dining restaurant with your keywords. Shall I direct you to the nearest location?" Icy clicked the nearest location and started to drive to his destination, following every step from his GPS. "Hey Icy, If you flew here, How do you have this car?" "Well this isn't mine, I stole it." "YOU WHAT!?" "Calm down," Icy said with a giggle, "I'm kidding, I rented it, but I took my own GPS with me." "O-oh," Blade said with an exhale of relief, "Don't scare me like that." "Aww, I'm sorry honey, I was only kidding." "Arriving at destination." The GPS announced. "Alright birthday boy, we're here! Let go!" Icy turned off his car, hopped out, and locked the doors. Blade followed him closely as they walked towards the entrance.

Icy approached the female, black cat at the podium. "Table for two please." "Right this way sir." The cat said with proper manner as she escorted them to their table. The two were seated and menus were handed out. "My name is Natalie; I'll be your waitress today. Here you are you two lovebirds, shall I start you off with drinks?" The two looked at each other at the same time and began to blush bright red. "W-we aren't dating." Icy said with a stutter. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry sir, you two looked really cute together, I just assumed." "It's alright, oh and thank you." Icy replied with a blush. Blade was sitting silently in his booth, giggling and blushing at the waitress's comment. "We'll take two colas." "Right away sir." The waitresses walked away and left the two alone. Icy turned to the blushing Shepard and giggled. "That was pretty weird huh?" Blade smiled and giggled back. "Yeah, it really was." The two grabbed their menus and started searching all of the selections. "Uhm...I think I'm going to have the Spicy Rigatoni. How about you Icy?" "I'm going to have the Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo." Natalie came back with the two cola drinks with straws. "Here you go, did you decide what you'll be having?" "I'll have the Spicy Rigatoni." "And I'll have the Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo." Natalie wrote down their orders quickly and took their menus. "No problem, I'll get those to you as soon as I can." Natalie walked off again. After some time, the two got their meals handed to them. As they did numerous times before, they shared more stories, witty banter, laughs, etc. They finished their meal just as Natalie pulled back up to their table. "I'll take those," she said as she picked up the plates and placed down the bill, "Here is the bill, you can pay up front. Have a good night you two." "Thanks" they both said simultaneously. Icy held Blade's paw as they walked to the front. He handed Natalie the money and bill and got his change back. As they walked towards the exit Natalie said to them, "Thank you! Good night to you both!" The boys blushed and got back into the car to drive home.

=========================================================================================================================================

As they arrived home, the two went upstairs to Blade's room. The two hugged and giggled. "Thank you," Blade said, "I had a really great time today. This was the best birthday I've had in years." "Aww, don't mention it honey, I had a really fun time too." Icy wagged and left the room. "Hold on, I'm going to change into my jammies." Blade blushes and giggled. "Aww, that's so cute! I'll get changed too." In separate rooms, the two got changed into pajama pants and a t-shirt. Icy walked back in and turned off the light, then tackled Blade onto the bed. He giggled and held him close as they cuddled. Icy quickly licked the other's nose and smiled at him. "So you really did have fun tonight?" "Yes, thank you so much!" Blade replied with a blush as his kissed Icy's cheek. "I'm glad I could spend the day with you, this was a fantastic day." Icy smiled and wagged as he pulled the covers onto them. "Good night Blade, Sweet Dreams." "Good night Icy." He replied softly as he kissed his cheek again softly and drifted off to sleep, safely cuddling in his arms.
