Presley climbed into the Giant Treehouse, and sat in the door, swinging her legs over the side as she waited for William. He was supposed to meet her here to sontinue teaching her American Football. She leaned back, propped herself up on her elbows, and sighed. Why was she the only punctual person she knew? Presley needed to get more of a life so that she wasn't always early for everything.

Braeden doubled-over in laughter as Theo wished him a happy birthday with the weirdest and most awkward of 'surprise!' gestures. Awww. He was adorable. The Gryffindork would've gone and hugged his boyfriend best mate, but he was soon distracted as he found himself being showered with presents.

PRESSEEENTTTTTSSS!! *O*
Now, THIS is when the party starts!
Eagerly, Braeden pulled the presents from their bags and tore apart the wrapping paper on those that were wrapped.
A clapboard?! A guidebook on making documentaries?! Movie festival tickets, a DVD (and HEY! It was that movie Emma had told him about earlier). SOB. Braeden looked up at his friends with the look of a six-year-old on Christmas morning. Why were they all so wonderfulllllllllll?!?!?! "I love them," he said breathlessly, his big brown eyes sparkling like he might just burst into tears of joy any second.

And then, just when the boy thought the present-giving part of the party was over and they could move on to dancing and eating cake, Ruby came over. EVEN RUBY HAD A PRESENT FOR HIM?!

SPLAT!
He should've known it would've been something like this.
He reaaaaaallyyy should've seen this coming.

But Braeden wasn't mad. It was his birthday and all of his friends were here and life was simply too awesome at the moment. If anything, Ruby had only sped up the schedule a bit and helped serve the cake a little earlier. Braeden wiped a handful of cake from his face, plotting to throw it at the redhead and watch her grow furious, when he caught sight of Emma searching for her wand. The boy's eyes went wide.

"Whoaaa! Whoa, whoa! Wa--wait--Emma!" The goofy boy waved his arms for a moment. "It's--it's alright. Don't worry about it. I don't mind, really. This is just... the way Ruby is, you can't really get mad at her." He shrugged. His lack of annoyance at the redheaded girl's schemes was probably what infuriated her so much in the first place, but Brae was too naive to see that. "Let's have some cake, eh?" he offered with a smile, taking a couple steps closer to his blonde friend, til he was right beside her. He leaned in and whispered in her ear, "On the count of three let's throw the cake at our Lioness friend, yeah? One... two..." And in a flash, the boy took the handful of cake he'd been holding and threw it in Ruby's direction, grinning stupidly as it landed on her robes.

BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

"CAKE FIGHT!!!"

"Great!" He smiled at Emma, his mind conjuring up what songs to bewitch the radio to play. Oh wait; he had to accio it here, first.

Theodore pressed his arms to his sides as none other but Ruby sidled on over to him. Couldn't she just leave him ALONE?! Her presence was nerve-wracking enough without her being near enough to touch him. Personal space: one of life's most important things. As everyone brought out their presents, he couldn't help but grimace, slightly. The present he had gotten for the birthday boy wasn't nearly as... large, nor as muggle-ish, nor as... expensive as some of these gifts seem to be. A part of him had to hold back from grumbling about rich Slytherins and their sacks of galleons. Eh, he could save his gift for later. No need to make a big scene right now.

Alas, no sooner had the thought crossed his mind when a big scene had just been created. Braeden, dripping in icing, Ruby, a devilish smirk on her pale face, and Emma, her wand pointing straight for the perpetrator, all created a rather interesting visual. Whipping out his wand, Theodore had been ready to scourgify his friend's face until... WHAM! Ruby had cake on her as well and Theo, hearing the words come from lion boy's mouth, ducked under the table with lithe, cat-like agility. There was no way he was going to get his best suit dirty because of some stupid batter and icing.

Bringing his knees to his chest and crossing his ankles, the hem of his pant legs rising to reveal polka dot-patterned socks, he lowered his head to keep from banging it against the table above and bit his lip as madness ensued. Hopefully the large black tablecloth would protect him from the madness.

Ruby quite enjoyed the effect her cake throwing had supplied; that is, until a certain blonde got a bit upset. Ruby threw on an innocent face as Emma, now in a rage, whipped out her wand and pointed it, accusingly, at her. Oh, brother. Did she really want to test Ruby right now? Like really?
The redhead was slowly reaching for her wand, too, when she heard Brae stop Emma--and then he sidled over to the blonde and whispered in her ear. Ruby stood quite still, fingering her wand. She knew they were plotting something against her, and she was on her guard. But before she could even think of an appropriate spell, her robes were splattered with cake and icing, thrown by none other than prince charming himself. Covered in bits of cake and frosting, Ruby sputtered; good thing she hadn't worn her best robes! "Stonem! How-dare-you!" She yelled in a fury, but then realized everything was now in chaos. And quite suddenly, a smile escaped the redhead's lips; it was funny, actually, with them standing there, covered in cake.

So the lioness laughed and then scooped some cake off of Brae (he had more on him to spare) and then turned--but Theo was gone. Surprised, Ruby looked around but couldn't find him at all--until she decided to check the floor. And sure enough, hiding under the table was the curly haired boy. Ruby grinned slowly and then lobbed the cake at him, which splattered all over his pretty dress robes and his cute little socks. "GOTCHA!"

Nika walked out to the giant treehouse, ah how she missed this place. She hasn't been here in what seems likes weeks! It is all because of that awful D.A.D.A assignment. If only the professor could announce that it was some sort of practical joke and they really didn't have to do it. That would be amazing. Although all her hard work would have gone to waste. So I guess it would be a bad thing too.

Speaking about DADA assignments. Nika decided to get one out of the way for the week and went ahead and touched her toes. "That one is probably the easiest." She said talking to herself. "If only the running was this easy." There toes have been touched.

She looked around at the giant tree house and smiled as she saw the swings! Nika ran over to the tire swings because who could resist. Besides they were calling her name.

" Now were we at teaching you American football?" William asked Presley.
" Was it teaching you how to throw the football, the pigskin?" Wiliam asked Presely. " Oh, I remember noe. I was going to teach you how to tackle" William said to Presley.

Walking into another world? AND it's a muggle place. Well, the muggle place was an entire different world all on it's own! She just had to say 'muggle place'. Or...maybe she should've left that part out because now Evelyn wasn't so interested.

"Woah, wait...what?" Back up. "I don't think that's a good idea, Mia." Bringing her to a muggle place. Bringing any pureblood actually to a muggle place. Bringing a SLYTHERIN to a muggle place. It was just a big no no! It was common sense! It was...kinda freaking her out to think about.

Yet, Nik brought her there for their anniversary, to PARIS, and the girl wasn't expecting Mia to ask her about Josh and herself. Anniversary? "Umm..." Hmm. "Not really?" Had they even made it to a year before that little disaster last term? "I honestly don't care for anniversaries. I mean, personally, I think it's better to just live in the moment alongside whoever you're with and if you're happy, than time doesn't really mean anything." Shrug. "Although, if you really want to think about it, I suppose we celebrate our anniversary...everyday."

Hehe.

Viola had never visited the Giant Treehouse before. But, wow! It looked so pretty. But, Viola still felt a little stressed out. Now that she had started with her Defence Against the Dark Arts assignment, she felt slightly relieved. But, she still wasn't sure about the singing. She wanted to skip it but she didn't want to. Bleh. So much confusion. Why were they given such an absurd assignment?

Oh! Tire swings! Viola practially ran towards them, feeling excited. She loved swings. She spotted another girl, who was in one of the swings. Well, it would be nice to talk to someone. "Hey." Viola smiled at her, before she sat on an empty tire.

First thing don't get Emma mad. Cause she'll get you. She held up her wand in a gesture of defense when Emma heard Brae calling out to her, telling her not to use her wand. What? He was standing up for her...? Okay.. O.o She put it away and shrugged her shoulders. "You sure? Okay. If you say so." she replied outloud. The blonde Malfoy nodded and beamed a smile at him. "All right. Yeah, some cake would be some nice..." she began and the smirked her Malfoy smirk at what he whispered in her ear. This would be fun.... She picked up a piece of cake and threw it right at the redhead. The blonde then grabbed another handful of the cake and was ready to throw it at Ruby or anyone else. CAKE FIGHT!!

"Duck!" she exclaimed and turning over a couple of chairs to create a bulwark. :mwhaha: Ruby couldn't reach her. Or so she thought. "Ellie! OVER HERE!" she called out to her friend.

Looking away from the older Gryffindor boy, Ellie saw just in time the fiery redhead dump a cake on Braeden's head. Her mouth dropped into a perfect 'O' shape. Merlin's socks, she was a little hostile wasn't she? A nice silence filled the treehouse until Emma flipped out, and then Braeden was telling her to calm down. Apparently the redhead couldn't be tamed. Huh.

Ellie blinked and suddenly cake was flying everywhere. She heard Emma call out to her behind a barricade of chairs, and Ellie bolted over there to hide with her, shrieking as cake flew onto her clothes and in her hair. Ellie took a lump of cake off Emma's shoulder and chucked at the redhead. She seemed worth of a cake-slap.

She also threw a chunk at Braeden's butt. It just sounded like fun.

Fee just chuckled at William.What would gis girlfriend say if she heard him talking like this?Tsk.Tsk."Well i got the most amazing boyfriend on earth so i dont care",the girl winked,"how is Witsy btw?"The blonde smiled at her little firstie friend and hugged him.It was really cute how he seemed to be happy abpout the friends forever thing."Of course frover.I will be there whenever you need me."

Connor was in love with someone?Ohhhhh.But that was awesome,loving someone was awesome.Somehoe the older boy didnt seem to garee with it too much."Oh yes i have been",she nodded remembering how long it had taken Hugo and her to tell eachother they had feelings for the other.Listening to Connor,he really seemed to be depressed,the girl hugged her friend tightly and hold onto him.Feeling like that was horrible."You know maybe she just needs some time?",the blonde guessed,"i mean why do you have to tell her you love her right away?What about spending time,having fun?Letting her see you love her through your actions?You know actions speak louder than words."

BAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

Braeden was almost in tears of laughter as Ruby pretty much began to release steam from her ears. Oh, the girl was so angry. He loved it. There was nothing more fascinating - and scary - than an angry Ruby. But before he could make too much fun of the girl, she had ran off and attacked someone hiding under the table. Brae's brows furrowed at the sight of polka-dot socks. Who was hidin--… "Theo! Watch out!"

Too late.
The Lioness got him.

Heyyyy! That wasn't cool! Poor Theo! D:
The Gryffindor boy went over to the table and peeked under the tablecloth in search of his best mate, hoping to get him involved in the cake fight, when he suddenly felt something smack him on the butt. HEY! Wha--who--huh?! Who was going around smacking people's butts!? Totally caught off-guard, our little goofy lion jumped up and turned his torso, only to find his precious butt covered in cake.

"Wha-- if you wanted a feel, all you had to do was ask!" He laughed before grabbing a handful of cake and throwing it at the two girls hiding behind a barricade of chairs. Pssssshh, those chairs weren't going to save them from… The Braeman!
And then of course he went and tripped on who-knows-who's foot and hit his face on the wall on his way down to the floor. Oh, Stonem. Good thing he had icing on his face to cushion the hit.

Great she had cake all over her new dress. Her mother was going to kill her... No doubt about it. Braeden threw a piece of cake, which landed partially in her hair. "Hey!" she cried and threw the piece of cake in her hand at Brae's back. And Brae had fallen on the floor. Good job Brae...

She giggled as she waited for someone else to try to attack her and Ellie. "Caroline!" she called over to the other Slytherin. Girls against boys? Smirk.

Ari started to answer the Hogsmeade question with as much enthusiasm as before. 'Yes, I have! The sweet shop is fantastic, and so is Scrivenshaft's. But it was too crowded for me, students everywhere.' At least the castle was big enough for Ari not to feel overwhelmed by the large student population. 'Thank you! You're a life-saver!' Ari replied. 'I will look for it at the library. Defigo, you say.' she repeated, just to make sure. 'Have you ever tried it?' the little one asked Freya.

'I'm sure you'll do better next year.' Ariadne said, not knowing what else to tell Freya to make her feel better about Quidditch. But then the Slytherin mentioned she didn't know which house Ari was in. 'Merlin! I totally forgot we haven't seen each other at the feast.' she chuckled. 'Gryffindor.' she announced proudly, wondering what her Slytherin friend thought about that.

Presley leaped up as she saw William approach. "Hey William!" she waved to him. "Yeah, we were about to learn tackle," she agreed.

"CAKE FIGHT!!!"

O_______o

Caroline giggled as cake flew everywhere. She grabbed cake from where ever she could get it. She threw it at Braeden, Ruby, Ellie, and Emma. Where did that curly-haired Eagle get to? He was hiding under the table. "Come out, Theo and play." She giggled. turning to her Emma call for her and She glanced at the other cake sitting there the one that was the one that she made. Casting a duplication charm twice, which made three cakes on the table.

She grabbed two of them and ran toward Emma andd Ellie. She was half way there when she slid on some cake on the floor landing face first in one of the cakes she was holding. She looked at the girls behind the barricade. This made everything a thosand times funnier. Wiping the cake out of her eyes, before throwing it at the back of Braden's head.

Retreating to the baricade where the girls were. "Thought we could use some extra armo" She giggle and grabbed both hands full of cake.

Oh no... here it comes... NOOOOO!

Gooey, sticky ice cream dripped from the curls that hung over his forehead, a few locks of hair sticking to his skin with the food as the adhesive. Wringing his hands, he crawled out from under the table. Ruby was going down. Admittedly, Theodore would have taken a slice of cake to the face than a knuckle sandwich to the nose any day, but since this was his favorite suit and he didn't exactly have another at hand, and his hair had been particularly voluminous and detangled and shiny from morning until now... yep, the sixth year was a bit infuriated. However, something more than rage overcame him, especially upon seeing the mini-ordeal between Braeden and Ellie. It was childlike joy, the spirit that overtook the party's atmosphere, that overcame the Ravenclaw as he couldn't help but burst out laughing.



Turning to his side and grabbing what remained of one of the cakes, Theodore turned around and was ready to aim and fire at random until he noticed what was happening. Boys against girls? NO! That wouldn't be fair! Riley would probably pound him in, anyways!

Sidling behind Riley, Theo took aim at the back of Ruby's head, hoping that it would make contact. His smirk was the confirmation that it had.

SPLAT! And once again the blonde was caked and this time it hit her cheek. She blinked a couple of times and wiped it off her face. She laughed. "Thank you Caroline!" she exclaimed, sarcastically. Emma winked at the other Slytherin and then hid behind her bulwark. The blonde giggled as Caroline asked Theo to come out. Smirk. Her brown eyes spotted Caroline running towards them and she was about to say WATCH OUT when Caroline was hit with the cake. Emma smirked again, before bursting out into laughter.

"Good idea!" she exclaimed, taking out her wand and following Caroline's lead by duplicating the cake. She smirked and then duplicated it again. Now they had four cakes. Emma then cast a spell on the cake and the cake flew over towards Brae, Ruby, Theo, and Riley. :mwhaha:

Braeden could hear tiny birds chirping as they flew in circles over his head when he sat up on the floor. Owwie. That had hurt. Anyway, where was he? Oh, right! CAKE FIGHT. And before he could get up and back into the game, a random piece of cake hit him right on the face with such force that it sent him back against the wall. Were these girls on steroids?! That was an American football player's throw!

Wiping the cake off his face, Braeden got up to his feet and quickly threw himself behind one end of the table, using it as shield as he poked his head into view. He narrowed his brown eyes as he watched more cakes magically fill up the table and grinned, greedily taking a whole cake into his hands and quickly ducking as Emma threw a whole nother cake at him and the others.

Using his wand, Braeden sent the cake he'd taken earlier flying in the direction of the girls hiding behind the chairs. However, before the cake could land, he pointed his wand to it - "Expulso!" - and grinned one of his dorky grins as the cake burst into a million little pieces that fell on the girls like cake rain.

SUH-WEET!
Birthday boy: 48748567, everyone else: 0

What the crap?

Someone else? A better tree-climber than her? HAYLE naw.

Narrowing her eyes in the pleasant frustration of a challenge, Kana, sprightly as ever, qiuckly stood on the branch and jumped straight up, grabbing the next one with her arms. She swung her legs up to clasp the branch so she was now upside-down, but she was able to pull herself rightside-up. Moving back to the trunk of the tree, she climbed, again, on the side opposite the ladder. More fun that way. Plus the ladder would've been cheating.

Looking up and slightly to the right, she smiled at the sight of her pigeon. As she continued, she gave a bit of a breathless whistle to get the bird's attention.

Pigeon was staring down at the ruckus back on the ground, perched on the end of a thin branch. He was about to flit down for a closer look when his little head snapped up when he heard his master's whistle. Well. Look who came to visit!

"Coo!"

Pigeon flapped his handsome grey-and-green wings and enthusiastically perched himself on her shoulder for a moment before moving to her head. Boy, she sure was determined, wasn't she? Pigeon looked up to see that she was following closely after someone else.

"Coo." The bird said hello and ruffled his wings slightly. He had manners. Unlike those cocky owls.

Kana looked up, even though she couldn't see her Pigeon. She had a bird on her head.

Yes, she did.

D'aww poor Brae. It was his birthday and he was being attacked by cakes. That wasn't too bad..

The blonde smirked as she watched Braeden escape. MERLIN'S BEARD! Wow, she had bad aim today. Emma's face filled with dread as she watched Braeden point his wand at the cake. "No.." she whispered as she watched the cake fly into tiny pieces and once it landed on her, she shrieked. The blonde wiped the cake off her face. Oh he was SO going to get it now. She started picking up pieces of cake and launching it at him. The blonde waved to Ruby. "Ruby! Truce? Want to take people down?" she called over to the redhead as she flung another piece of cake at Brae.

Shrieks and yells of glee were filling the treehouse as cake flew everywhere. And that's LITERAL. Because there was now a case of exploding cake flying through the air. Ellie covered her eyes with her arm and felt the cake rain down on her like giant fluffy raindrops. She probably tasted really good now...

Ellie laughed and looked over at Braeden. "You're going down, Stonem! Ellie yelled with a huge grin on her face. Grabbing a huge hunk of cake, she army-crawled across the floor towards the lanky lion boy. On her way over, she felt masses of cake pelt her from all sides. When she finally caught Brae, she cheerfully, happily, joyously smashed a handful of cake and frosting all over his precious face, smearing it around. Just for good measure.

Birthday boy: 48748567, Ellie: 3298579287239845762938475

The first thing that Ruby noticed was that everyone seemed to be throwing cake at HER. The poor redhead was hit so many times, first by Brae and Emma, then by that Ravenclaw girl, then that Slythie chick that had wanted to shake her hand. Ruby couldn't even stand up anymore so she decided to take refuge near the table like Theo had, except she wasn't under the table. Somewhere overhead, she heard Boys versus Girls and groaned. There was no way she was going to partner up with those girls--eugh. But she didn't want to partner up with the guys either...if you could call them guys. So the lioness played on her own team, first lobbing a huge piece (people were suddenly duplicating cakes and she decided to do the same) at the Ravvie, Ellie or whatever her name was, and her Slytherin friend. Laughing under her breath, she grabbed another huge glob of cake and aimed at Brae, who, at the time, was on the icing-covered floor. Laughing even louder, she turned to find all the girls hiding behind chairs. "Oh no you don't," She said quietly.

Ruby snuck up on them, quiet as a fox, and kicked the chairs away. They were on the open field now! Her face was dripping with frosting as she made her way back to her table side corner when--

WACK!

A huge piece had been lobbed at the back of her head and the force of it had made her knees buckle so she looked like she was in mid bow. Slowly, Ruby turned around to find her perpetrator while little pieces of cake fell out of her hair. When her eyes had swiveled in the direction of the aim, she found Theo hiding behind an older boy who she didn't know. "THAT HURT!" She shouted and then grabbed a HUGE piece of cake. The redhead ran to Theo and stuffed the cake into his mouth so that he looked like he had forgotten how to eat. Ruby doubled up with laughter and couldn't keep her eyes on the fight anymore, she was that amused.

In the distance, Ruby could hear someone yelling her name but she was laughing too hard to look up. Slowly, she brought herself up using Theo as a cane hehe and then looked up. Emma wanted a truce? "Take people down? Hun, I've been doing that from the beginning," She said with a snort and then sauntered over to where Emma was standing. "We need more amo," She whispered to the blonde as she searched for more cake.

BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Braeden cackled as Emma threatened him. Oh, please. He liked Emma, but what was the sweet, innocent girl going to do to him? Pshhhhhhhh. He wasn't scared at al-- "GAH!" And then she hit his shoulder with a piece of cake. "Ow!"

Placing a hand on his hurt shoulder, the Gryffindork returned to his hiding spot. That exploding-cake technique had worked wonderfully… he was soooo doing it again. Hehehehe.

But then, just as Brae got on his knees behind the table and reached out to one of the duplicated cakes, Ellie appeared out of nowhere and smashed a handful of cake and frosting onto his face. "GAHHH!!" Face covered in cake and mouth filled with frosting, Braeden fell back on the wooden floors of the treehouse, flailing about for a second before sitting up and finding the culprit looking ever so happy. "Ellie!"

Braeden took a handful of cake and threw it straight at the girl, cackling as he did so. Mwahahahaha! Before she could get back at him, he quickly threw himself under the table and crawled away. BWAHAHA, oh he was so sneaky. Or at least that's what he thought.

AWWWWH. Looook! The wittle firstie was getting competitive Heh. Just the way she liked it.

Macy followed behind Kana as she caught up, easily swinging from branch to branch in order to stay beside her. La dee dah dee dah. Mmm, naow wasn't this fun?! Yes. The fourth year reached her arms up to grab the next branch and pulled herself up into a sitting position.

COOO!!!

D: Macy jerked, almost falling backwards. She caught the tree trunk with her hand and righted herself. "Nice bird you got there," she said, heaving out a breath of air.
