"She said that she'd teach me," said Artemis, "but she's always so busy."
*****
"When my mom makes sure everyone is present and accounted for," said Stephanie.

"I might be able to give her a tire in that," Phoenix said.
~~~~~~
"Shouldn't be that much longer," Gryffin said. "Everyone's showing up now."

"Will you?" asked Artemis.
*****
"Yeah," nodded Stephanie, then looked around, "Seen Mom anywhere?"

"Of course I will," Phoenix said.
~~~~~~
Gryffin shrugged. "I haven't seen her since I got here."

"Alright," Artemis said, cheering up, "Let's tell Mom. She'll be pleased."
*****
Kestrel sniffed the air for a moment, "She went inside your house for a moment. I think she'll be back out."
"Oh," Stephanie said, blinking for a moment, "Well, I do know that the kitchen is off-limits today. I can't go in there. I bet she's been making something special in there for me."

"Alright," Phoenix said with a laugh.
~~~~~~
"Probably one of those cake things," Gryffin said.

Artemis grinned and went on ahead of her aunt, searching out her mother and father by scent.
Ebony glanced up as she saw Phoenix return with her daughter, who came scampering up. "She looks calmer," said the Viper, looking at the Trans Am, "Did you do a calming spell on her?"
*****
"It's called a birthday cake," said Stephanie, "Mom's really good at it. I bet she's making sure that it's perfect."

"That and a blocking ward," Phoenix said. "Should keep things settled for a while."
~~~~~~
"To bad we can't have any," Gryffin said.

"Good," Ebony reached down and rubbed Artemis's roof, "At least she won't be bothered by all those unnecessary noises during the party."
"Mom..." Artemis rolled her eyes at her mother.
*****
"There's sure to be some fuel for you," said Stephanie.

"Get use to it," Phoenix said playfully.
~~~~~~
"Cool," Gryffin said.

"Aren't I already?" smirked Ebony.
"Will you guys quit it already?" said an exaspirated Artemis.
"Sorry, hun," Ebony said to her daughter.
*****
Just at this moment, Delfina came back out on the porch again and thought-spoke to her daughter. 'Steph, come up here, will you, please?'
'Time to start the party now, Mom?' asked Stephanie.
'Yes.'
Stephanie turned to Gryffin and the twins, "Looks like I have to go join Mom on the porch now. Seems she wants to start the party now."
"Finally," said Kestrel, "I hate waiting."

Artemis just seemed to look at both of them with light hazel eyes.
"When's the party gonna start, Mom?" asked the little Viper/NSX mix.
"Right now," Ebony pointed, "Look. Delfina's calling Stephanie to her."
*****
"Okay, see you later. I got to go get embarrassed by my mom, now," nodded Stephanie as she got to her feet and sprinted to where her mother was on the porch.

"Okay..." sighed Artemis.
"Now let's see what's gonna be going on here," said Ebony, turning toward the porch.
*****
Kestrel and Falcon waved and settled back on the grass.
