~~~
Wolf and Kipo was sleeping in their beds in their share rooms. It was only 7AM when they heard the rest of the family sing the birthday-song to them. Song walked inside the room first, carrying a cake with two candles on it.
Lio and Benson was walking behind in silly costumes, a bunny costume to be exact, as they carried presents in their arms.
Lastly, Dave and Mandu came in as they also wanted to join the singing, though Dave sang rather false and Mandu could only squeal.
Wolf and Kipo sat up on their bed as they looked up at their parents. Song sat down the cake between the girls, on a cabinet so that they could eat it after opening their gifts.
"My big girls!" Lio cheered, hugging them both as he gave each of them a kiss to their cheeks.
Wolf was starting to finally get a bit comfortable with such affection from her new family, she was still a survivor after all.
"Open your gifts!" Song smiled and Kipo and Wolf smiled before they grabbed their gifts.
Wolf let Kipo start opening hers and everyone watched in awe. Kipo got a wonderful dress from her mom, it was purple with a jaguar on it, making Kipo get tears of happiness as she realized that it was custom made. She got a new guitar from her dad, since all of their stuff had been destroyed When Song attacked as the Mega Monkey. Kipo had missed playing on her very own guitar, and she hugged her dad tightly, as well as her mom.
Then she opened the gift from Benson, it was a music-player with Kipo's favorite songs, as well as Heroes On Fire since she loved it so much. Benson got an extra big hug for that one.
Then it was Wolf's gift left, Wolf had hid it under her bed and gave it to Kipo who eagerly opened it. When she saw what it was, she got tears in her eyes of happiness. It was three gifts. A matching hairclip since Kipo had given Wolf one thst was alike. She immediately put it in her hair.
The second was the same jacket she had found in Cactus Town, but it was the whole jacket this time and not just one arm. Kipo put it on happily as she thanked her little sister once again.
But it was the last gift that actually made it for her. It was a picture of their family. Lio and Song was standing at the side. Lio was holding an arm around Hugo, who sadly had passed away in the end of the war between humans and mutes. Song held and arm around Wolf, her now youngest daughter who she loved to bond with. Wolf and Kipo had their arms crossed, smiling, and Benson was behind both of them, hugging them as he seemed to be laughing. Mandu was sitting down vy Wolf's legs and Dave leaned onto Kipo's leg.
The one who had taken the picture was actually Yumyan, their dear friend who was now cured and turned into a normal cat for life.
Kipo thanked Wolf over and over again as she hugged her tightly, Wolf was smiling happily.
"Open your gifts now, Wolfie." Kipo said with a sniffle, wiping her teary eyes, she was so happy to have such a great family.
Wolf nodded, starting with Song's gifts. It was candy, since Wolf had never had sweet or cake or anything like that, and then some new clothes. Luckily, Song hadn't bought any dresses or skirts since Wolf hated those. It was a pair of jeans, a hoodie or two and another pair of shorts. Wolf thanked her mom happily.
Lio had gotten her a guitar too, since he couldn't wait until everyone in their family could play together and sing. He planned to get Benson and Dave guitars too, but that would be for anlther day.
Benson gave Wolf a pack of Explosion Berry Soda, reminding her of how they met, as well as a tiny bicycle-souvenire thst she could put on the cabinet beside her bed. Dave felt the need to brag about how it was his idea to get those presents and how Benson had been too lazy, when actually it had been the opposite, but nobody in the family cared to even say that. Dave would always be Dave.
Finally, there was only Kipo's gift left. Kipo had risked a lot to get it, but she knew that everything would be worth it to just see Wolf's face.
Kipo had been in Deathstalker Territory and gotten her a new staff. A new Stalky.
When Wolf saw it, she let out a very light scream of happiness, jumping in her bed as she reached for the staff. Everyone started laughing at her reaction as Kipo gave Wolf her favorite weapon.
Wolf hugged it tightly, getting tears in her eyes as she then threw herself at Kipo, hugging her big sister.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" Wolf said over and over again as Kipo just chuckled.
Wolf sat back up and wiped her eyes before she looked at Benson and Dave.
"It's mine!" she pouted and everyone once again started laughing, they all knew that Wolf would watch her Stalky like a falk, she loved that weapon so much.
When everyone had calmed down and the wrapping paper was moved off to the side, Song got the cake and held it up for her birthday-girls.
"One...." everyone counted. "Two.... Three!"
Kipo and Wolf together blew out the two candle and the family clapped their hands afterwards and the started eating the cake. It was Wolf's first time tasting it, and from this day she decided that she LOVED cake!
Kipo and Wolf looked at each other and then Over their family. They were so lucky to be here today, and they could never be happier.
