Gryffin looked over at Stephanie. "Happy birthday Steph," the Mustang said with a grin.

"Thanks, Gryff," said Stephanie, "I'm 12 now."

"They called to say they were on their way. That was twenty minutes ago." Kendall replied. "Chances are they'll be here any minute, but you know the way I am about these things." He paused to give Ebony a nuzzle before shooting another glance towards the road. "Hope that's them now."
"I think they got something planned." Miles shrugged. "That's why they were waiting."
"Whattaya think it is?" Brandon inquired eagerly.

"Another year until you're thirteen," Gryffin said with a shrug.

"Yeah..." Ebony nodded tiredly as she glanced down the driveway, "We're gonna be late for the party, though..."
She had, however, have something important and private to tell Kendall, but it seemed that that would have to wait until they had a moment alone.

"I have no idea," shrugged Stephanie.
She turned to Gryffin, "But you're already 13. You're older than me."

"I let everyone know." Kendall nodded. "Still not really happy about it, though."
"Maybe it's gonna be like the last Chrysmas when he brought the big game system in." Brandon was bursting with anticipation.
"Well, considering that it's Stephanie's party, it probably won't be anything like that." Melissa sniffed to her brother.
Miles sat up on the fence. "Maybe a DJ or something like that."
A loudly turned-out Escalade, two vans and a black 'Vette came up the drive. Kendall turned and waved. "Over here!"
The foursome pulled up before Kendall and Ebony. "Sorry about the delay, but we were having a few little technical issues that we had to iron out."
"OK, guess that can't be helped." Kendall nodded, turning back to the rest of the family. "So everyone ready to get going?"

Stephanie turned, "Speaking of DJs... Do you think the DRH are coming too?"
*****
Kestrel and Falcon pulled up and nodded, "Yeah."
Artemis nodded also, but stayed close to her mother, even when her father's friends were there.
Ebony looked down at her daughter for a moment, stroked her roof to calm her, and then looked up and nodded, "Yeah, we are."

Brady, the Escalade, turned to the 'Vette. "Alexis is our new lasermeister, and you already know Paul and Carole." The Corvette smiled, a mite standoffishly.
"OK, great." Kendall grinned. "Shall we go, then?" He turned back towards the gate.
"Speak of the devil." Miles peered into the distance at another dust cloud. "Boost and Shrike said they'd be bringing their daughter."

"Sure," Ebony said with a nod as she shifted into gear.

Stephanie glanced at her cousin and saw the dust cloud as well.

"Great," Gryffin said. "Someone else my sisters can annoy."

"That depends which one of them is either the annoyer or the annoyee," said Stephanie.

"As long as they leave me alone for a little bit," Gryffin said.

"That would be a relief, wouldn't it?" asked Stephanie.

"They couldn't possibly be more of a pain than my little sister." Miles made a face.
"Little sibs are always a pain. It's like, a law of nature or something." Melissa sighed as Brandon nipped at her tail boom.
"Let's get this show on the road, then." The Escalade and his crew fell in behind Ebony, Kendall and the kids.

A pair of small, long arms grabbed onto Stephanie's wrist, causing her to look down at a pair of brown eyes that reminded her of her father. But this was her little brother, Bryan, who was two years younger than her.
"Speaking of little sibs being a pain..."
*****
Ebony got onto the road, heading and knowing by heart the way to Ash Mountain, having been on it so many times already over the years.
