"I can do that," nodded Delfina.

"Is everything ready then?" asked Ebony.

"I'd say so." Kendall nodded. "Shall we go?"
"That's the idea." Kathleen smiled.

Ebony nodded as she shifted into gear, "Yeah, I'm ready."

"Yeah," nodded Delfina, "Thanks for the talk."

Kendall escorted Ebony out to the area demarcated by streamers and balloons. Music was playing on a stereo set and some humans and aircraft had already joined the cars in awaiting the festivities. The children in particular were looking up at the pinata in anticipation. It had been stuffed with things for both cars and humans. Misty grinned and waved a rotor as she saw them come up. She was still wearing a light bandage over her eye but only for another week. Dawn was also there.
"And now, I think there's a party going on." Kathleen looked back towards the sound of festivities warming up.

Ebony looked at all the decorations and at everybody who was there. She was quite surprised to find that everyone was attending, including the aircraft and the humans.
"Wow, what a big gathering," Ebony observed, looking about, "Let's get this party underway, then."
* * * * *
"I heard it was birthday party for Ebony," said Delfina, "So, shall we go join the festivities?"
(((((OOC: Close to calling it a night...)))))

Kathleen turned and started to move out. "Sounds good to me."
"Here's the birthday girl!" someone called out. There was a round of applause.
<<< Me too. About to turn in. G'night >>>

Delfina nodded and turned to head back to where the party was being held at the front entrance of the mountain.

Ricardo smiled as he and Phoenix rolled along beside her, "Happy Birthday, Ebs."
"Oh my," Ebony was taken aback by the applause, "Thanks, everyone."

Tess came out carrying an oblong giftwrapped package that she laid on a table with other presents. "Happy Birthday, Ebony. Ondine helped me out with gift selection, I think it's something you can definitely use." She waved to Kathleen and Delfina as they approached.
Dawn and Misty and a couple of other human girls came up, bearing a colorfully painted giant card. "We did it together."

"Thanks," Ebony smiled as she saw the gifts, "I don't know what to say. Really."
Ricardo pulled up with two wrapped packages as well and laid them on the table with the others, "These came from both Nix and myself."
"Happy Birthday, Ebs," smiled Phoenix, giving her a nudge.

Kendall nuzzled Ebony as they viewed the proceedings. "And there's another big card from the NORAD people. They didn't forget what you did for them."

"That was nice of them," replied Ebony, as she returned the nuzzle, "but all I did was come along with the party to the ruined Earth. That's all."

"Considering how conditions were, it was an act of courage just to go over there. " Kendall answered

"I wanted to see what that place was like for myself," said Ebony, "and it was a learning experience and finding that what the humans had told me what had happened there was true."
She paused for a bit, frowning, "And not to mentioned getting shot over there, too, which did not help my mood any."

"I've seen the video they took of the battles." Kendall nodded soberly. "Very scary."
"Hey." Shayla and Seth came up. "Happy B-day, Ebony."
Some of the musically inclined had their instruments out, and were jamming together in the sunlight. Refreshments had been set out, for both kinds of beings. Some of the nomads, ready for any excuse to party after a long time on the run, were grilling yak and sheep sides on a spit. Many of the women of the tribe had found themselves widowed after the battles of their flight, and according to the custom of their tribe were free to choose another mate for themselves after their first arranged marriage. It hadn't taken long for them to start making eyes at the unattached men, especially from the NORAD contingent, as they recognized warriors wherever they found them.

"Yeah," Ebony nodded, "But it's something that I never want to go through again."
She turned as Shayla and Seth came up, "Thanks guys. Oh, hey Shayla. I've been meaning to ask you something. I want to go back into my Innerscape again to see if I can try to dig out some more memories. Can you help me with that?"
