[As nice as Taiwan can be, there are some times when she continues to be an absolutely incorrigible, spoiled, self-centered brat.  Her birthday happens to be one of those days.  It also happens to be today.  Mayfield is a mess, her family is in shambles with Netherlands gone for good, and the house is a wreck following Saki's run-in with the

Mei . . . ? You shouldn't be outside.

Hi. [glancing at the cupcake] A present?

It's my birthday today.

-Later in the day? May Lee. This is to be expected, after all. What wasn't expected?

The girl leaning forward and placing a small, chaste kiss on Taiwan's forehead.-

It's going to be okay...

[pinkplumblossom]

[Yeah, that definitely wasn't expected. Comforting hugs, sure, but she'd never had a kiss from May Lee before. It's a little confusing, but it's also what she needs right now. Frowning, she wraps her arms around her friend.]

"You shouldn't be outside... it's dangerous."

"Y-you can stay here if you want, you know. If you'd rather not be out with the hazmats at night..."

[Rests her head on May Lee's shoulder.]

"...it would make me feel better."

[And Saki comes out,to slowly brush Taiwan's hair.]

Happy birthday.

[pinkplumblossom]

Thanks, Saki.
