[Closed] Party Planning

[outofyourshadow]

Who: Members of the Quack Pack
Where: The Library
When: Early August
What: Lena asks the boys for help planning a birthday party for Webby. Because that can't go wrong
Warnings: See above

It was only mentioned for a brief moment, but learning that Webby's birthday was coming up meant that Lena had work to do. Unfortunately, while she had an idea of how people celebrated birthdays from what she picked up here and there, actually planning one was not familiar territory for her.

So at some point, each of the guys might find Nectormancer flying around before the bat familiar lands on or near them, holding a note for them. And the note carried a simple message:

Meet me at the library
Lena

She wouldn't be difficult to spot, either, and for all the world it looked like she was just reading.

Though she was also keeping an eye out for Webby, just in case.

Well, she at least knew who it was that arrived. Luckily the librarian didn’t seem anything more than a bit grumpy, but she continued on her business as Lena waved him down.

“Yo, Dew,” she said. “Glad you could make it.”

[couldabeenturbo]

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." He grinned, making his way over to her. "But I gotta ask: why are we hanging in the library? I thought you'd be more the outdoor adventurey type."

[outofyourshadow]

She snickered. "Maybe. But the library is actually the perfect place to discuss top secret plans, because no one's suspicious when you whisper in a library."

[couldabeenturbo]

Not only was he going to be hanging out with Lena, but they were going to be making top secret plans?!

"Okay," he whispered, "hold up just a second."

He put his hands behind his back and pinched himself on the wrist, just under his sleeve. Ouch. Yep, that hurt. Not dreaming: he was going to be making top secret plans with Lena.

"Alright, I'm ready! What are we planning? A treasure hunt? Exploring a network of secret passages? How to hold a rave with magic?"

[outofyourshadow]

She snickered a bit. "Y'know, two of those might be pretty useful for this. But actually, I'm trying to put together a birthday party for Webby."

[couldabeenturbo]

"Only two? For Webby? I bet she'd love all three." He slid into a chair, getting into full party prep mode. "Do you have a theme yet?"

[outofyourshadow]

"She probably would. But I'm thinking of going with a 'normal birthday party' theme, since Webby didn't get the whole regular kid experience growing up."

[couldabeenturbo]

"Oh! Then we're definitely gonna need party hats. And favors. And at least one game. And a great big cake!"

He gestured with his hands, indicating a cake at least half the size of the table.

"It's a good thing Mom's not here. She'd want to make it, and ... uh ... well ... her cakes look better than they taste."

[outofyourshadow]

Lena took a moment to write the suggestions down. "Yeah, I was thinking maybe a scavenger hunt for one of the games. That way it's kind of like combining treasure hunting."

Then she paused a moment, looking at him.

"Your mom?" From the things she remembered Webby telling her, the triplets mom had been gone for ten years.

[couldabeenturbo]

"Yeah, she - ohhhh." He flashed her a sheepish smile. "I forget that you guys don't know. Louie does, now, and I keep meaning to tell Huey. I'll tell him later. But Mom totally came back! She'd been on the moon the whole time."

[outofyourshadow]

"Wait, seriously?" Lena didn't really know all the drama surrounding the triplet's mom, but from what Webby had told her, it certainly was A Thing.

"She was on the moon for ten years? How'd she survive?"
