Eri's birthday
While her son and granddaughter were out, Chozo decided to kick her plans into high gear. She pulled out a whistle and blew into it.
Hearing the whistle, Fumikage looked up from the little sweater he and Dark Shadow were making.
"Mother calls us for our assistance. The cloak must wait." He put down the knitting needles and sweater.
Fumikage soared down the stairs and stopped in front of his mother with his and his quirk's arms raised in a salute. "Fumikage and Dark Shadow reporting for duty Ma'am."
The bird-woman chuckled at her son.
"Now now Fumi you can relax."
The bird-boy's shoulders relaxed.
"What are the plans for the party?" He inquired curiously about his role.
"Well, I already wrapped the gifts, all that's left is the decorations and the pie."
Chozo stiffened, "Fumi where's your father?"
"He said he was going to make 'The greatest apple pie for the best granddaughter.' Why?" Fumikage's eyes widened as he remembered what happened last year.
"Quickly Mother we must stop the catastrophe that Father is sure to cause!"
The worried teen pulled his mother with him into the kitchen to see his father baking normally?
The muscular baker put the pie in the oven and turned towards his family.
"Why are you guys so worried? I learned from last year." He took off the oven mitts and set aside the apron that said Best Grandpa.
Chozo shrugged, surprised that her husband didn't blow up the kitchen again "I just was concerned that's all, didn't want Eri to not have her pie."
After the little scare with Jonichi. The Tokoyamis finished preparing for Eri's birthday.
To say Eri was excited was an understatement.
The little jellyfish couldn't help but jump in joy when she saw the decorated house.
Streamers were strung from the doorways, balloons were everywhere.
The balloons themselves were shaped like jellyfish and birds. Little birds hung from the ceiling, a banner hanging in front of the kitchen reading "HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY ERI!"
Izuku smiled as Eri stood there in awe, nudging her to get her attention. "Come on my jellyfish, let's go thank Grandma and Grandpa."
"Come on Papa, let's go!" Eri rushed ahead, dragging her chuckling father into the kitchen where their family was waiting, holding presents.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERI!!!"
After the birthday wishes, they had dinner and dessert. Jonichi brought out the pie.
The pie was apple and it had a little candle sticking out of the top.
The whole family chuckled as the birthday girl drooled "It looks good, Grandpa!"
Jonichi's smile brightened, as he cut the pie. "I'm glad you think it looks good kiddo because you're getting the first slice."
He had barely set the slice down before she dug in. In moments it was gone.
The rest of the family dug in, shocked at the taste.
After dessert, it was finally time for presents.
Chozo pulled out the first one, It was a big box covered in jellyfish themed wrapping. She smiled as she handed Eri the gift. "You'll like this one. It's from me and grandpa."
"Thank you, Grandma!" Eri thanked her as the little Metroid began to tear apart the wrapping paper to reveal a little blue onesie that was covered in birds.
Fumikage pulled out his gift, a little sweater with a little Metroid on it. "I'm sorry I didn't have time to wrap the garment, but Dark Shadow and I made it ourselves"
Eri beamed as she saw the sweater "I love it! Thank you so much, Uncle Fumi and Uncle Shadow."
She hugged the sweater close to her chest and tackled the two with a hug.
"Oof, I'm glad you liked it little one, just take it easy with the hugs." Fumikage winced.
Izuku chuckled at the display, and pulled out his gift. "My jellyfish, It's time for my present. You know how you've been wanting something like my stun gun."
Eri began to float with excitement "Uh-huh it's so cool when you use it!"
Izuku pulled Eri back to the ground, and then handed her the present. "Now it's not actually like mine it won't actually stun anyone but, it does fire lights and make some sounds."
Eri posed with the replica stun gun."Look Papa I'm like you!"
Everybody cooed at the little jellyfish imitating her father.
Soon it was Eri's bedtime. The little space jellyfish was in the new onesie, curled up next to her father.
Izuku looked up from the book he was reading her. "Eri did you have a good birthday?"
Eri yawned, her eyes drooping "Mhmm. It was the best ever.
She snuggled against her father, sleep quickly overtaking her. “Goodnight, Papa."
Izuku gave her a goodnight kiss as she dozed off.
“Goodnight, Eri. Happy Birthday, and may there be many more.”
