[DGM NOTE-this is for the crew of the Sentinel as she approaches Starbase 220, all crew are welcome to join in and celebrate your shipmates birthday (she informed me her character shares her RL Birthday so i came up with something cute here - Kitty]K'Rika hurried as it was almost breakfast time. She had filled the mess hall with brilliant green and gold streamers, the colors of the Romulan Republic. She had ensured after working from early in the morning with chef that everything about the breakfast buffet was a perfect mix of Federation and Republic breakfast foods. She bounced over to the head table that she had decorated with several cakes arrayed out in a lovely display around a center cake raised with enough candles to match the soon to be birthday girl's proper age...
Provided she had read the woman's record correctly, she fretted some.
She was careful to set the candles up right to ignite as the young medical officer came in for her breakfast...She had asked Sery to let everyone know from Alpha watch and the remaining Gamma watch officers that it was someone's birthday and as such being new it would be nice to stop on by and not only wish her a happy birthday but share in it with her, maybe even bring a small gift as well....
"Make her feel home" K'Rika nodded as her tail swished nervously behind her. After all this crew had embraced her and given her a home, why should she not try to do the same for someone else new..
She looked up at the hanging elaborate holo-banner decked out in both federation standard as well as Romulan..."Happy Day of Your Birth, Cadet Telanra!"K'Rika nodded...this was going to go well...

Billie Jo entered the mess hall cradling a small package in her arms. It was a small cube shaped box, with unknown contents, wrapped in festive happy birthday printed wrapping paper with a pretty bow on top. She entered the room and read the banner. She grinned at the rather unusual grammar. It was technically correct, so she decided not to say anything. Especially seeing how happy the party planning made K'Rika.
Billie Jo took the small present over to the small table where a few other gifts were waiting. She set the small box down and turned her attention toward the cake. It was unguarded, so she thought maybe she could steal a taste while no one was looking. She then thought better of that, it would be inappropriate after all.

* In Telanra's personal quarters* Telanra eyes flutter open. She gets up and Telanra walks in the bathroom, get into the shower. Telanra gets out of the shower, drys off and puts on her uniform. Before heading out of her personal quarters,she walk over to her nightstand and picks up two pictures. The first picture is of her parents and the other was on her wedding day, a picture of her and her husband (Sa'Kun). * Telanra eyes starts to water by looking at her parents pictures and says* "I love you mom & dad, miss you both and wish you were here!" She set the picture of her parents down. Looks at her wedding picture, and smiles thinking of that wonderful day and Telanra says " I love you Sa'Kun, I wish you were her for my birthday.But when we get together again, I am sure you will surprise me for a belated birthday.." She put her wedding picture down on the nightstand next to her parents picture. *She walks out of her personal quarters and heads to the gally.*

Endel with Spot in tow entered the mess hall, the rather large man was smiling from ear to ear. In his hands he carried a large box that atop was a tray of many muffins.
"Hurry Spot!" He called do his little buddy. "We do not wish to be late...."
"For we have the muffins and just what is a birthday without MUFFINS!"
He hurried over to K'Rika and handed off the tray of freshly baked muffins, unseeing or uncaring that this left the poor girl wondering just where he had baked all of them.
"SURPRISE!!!" He yelled out happily and suddenly and then looked around to see just who the party was for...

Decia arrived only moments after Endel and Spot, and waled over nodding to the Doctor and K'Rika handing her neatly wrapped present over to K'Rika's outstretched taloned fingers and looked up at the banner and smiled softly at the wording. She herself was not entirely sure it was not correct, it seemed similar to the wording used by her own people. However she also had heard the human term was different.
She ordered her usual breakfast of her cheesey liquamen and sood with the others as she awaited the arrival of the cadet.

Denise entered the mess hall with a neatly wrapped small present under her arm. She had her usual demeanor and grumbled softly to herself as she wandered in, the mere fact her routine this morning was going to be interrupted...by ...people...
She was in mid grumble as she jumped as Endel screamed out surprise.
"God Damn It Endel!" She hissed at the big man. "It's NOT ME!"
She stomped over and smirked the closest thing she could muster as a smile to K'Rika as she handed over her present and found a chair in the corner to sink into after getting herself a cup of coffee. SHe sighed and looked up and read the banner. She slowly lowered her head to press her face into the tabletop before her...
...and just sighed.

*Telanra heads down to the hall to the turbolift and says* " Computer to the main level" she makes it to the Main level and walks through the halls and heads to the mess hall. Telanra makes it to the mess hall and enter through the doors and says "Hello all, what is going on here? "*Looks around the mess hall and suddenly notice how to mess hall is decorated also notices the banner and her eyes start to tear up and says* " What a thoughtful gesture,words can not express what I am feeling right now *smiles sweetly*

Xylvarenn had just finished writing that long overdue letter to her mother as Serys notice made itself known. A bit of a suspicious look forms on the Trills face as she reads it. "A Birthday party? For a Cadet? ... alright. A gift... Hmmm" She brings up the file for said cadet and begins looking for clues to a good gift. Gifts is always such a hard thing she thinks, especially to someone you barely knows, all she knew was the persons species and that makes for dangerous prejudgments, and that the cadet was studying medicine. She eventually settles for a book on psychology that she liked back in the day, A bit dated but Human, Trill and Vulcan psychology has not changed THAT much in the last 100 years, and it is a hardback paper book! She downloads the replicator patterns from it from a library she knows specializing in this kind of things, not for free of course.
Downloading it takes its sweet time and she does some other things, preparing herself to look her beautiful best, choosing between clothing... why can people never specify a dress code! She goes with her normal off duty uniform. Eventually the computer beeps and she processes to replicate the book, complete inside the holiday spirited wrappings with nice white ribbons.
Feeling ready she looks a final time in the mirror and walks to the designated location, offering people in the room a warm smile and an elegant wave and walks to the birthday target and holds out the gift
"Happy Birthday!"

Endel looks over as the young Cadet speak to her new shipmates, thanking them for their celebration. He finds he can not help but be touched by seeing how happy they all made her.
"Yes..." Endel looks down to Spot. "This is the birthday girl Spot"
Spot swivels to him....and then to Telanra ...and this back to Endel and rumbles a little.
"Yes and you know what this means..." Endel turns to th Cadet and bellows out loud, proud and happily...and well after the fact...
"SURPRISE!"

Billie Jo is busy stuffing her face with coffee and a muffin from Endel's magical tray of muffins. As she does she ponders the mystery of where Endel bakes his muffins. That was course the point at which cadet Telanra entered the room. Billie Jo quickly swallowed her mouthful of muffin to shout surprise without spitting muffin all over. Of course by the time she did, the moment was gone.
"Happy birthday!" She shouted out cheerfully. She then looked at the delicious chocolate cake. "Is it time for cake?" she asked to no one in particular.

K'Rika cheers and wishes "Happy Day of your Birth!"
She smiles and lets folks greet the new cadet and hurries over to prepare the cake. She smiles all excited to Billie Jo.
"It is not yet time for the devouring of the cake, first we must have the person whose day of birth this is thank everyone and then there are many hugs and shaking of hands." She nods as if reciting by rote now. "Then we proceed to stand around the table as the host or hostess performs the lighting of the candle ceremony...one candle for each year she has not died since the day of her birth!"
She sets herself over the cake her long tails swishes with her excitement. "We then all gather around the cake and sing the song of happiness after which he honoree closes her eyes and makes a wish " Her eyes get wide as she explains this to Billie Jo. "A wish she can not tell a soul or it will never come true!"
"After this she blows out the candles...sealing her deal for her wish as she extinguishes the symbolic fires of those years she has conquered and then the hostess cuts the cake...and after the birthday girl gets the first slice..."
She beams proudly. "The hostess then distributes the cake to the honored guests!"

Billie Jo's shoulders droop and her bottom lip juts out slightly as K'Rika explains the birthday party ritual in excruciating detail. Billie Jo regards the cake with an open fondness. She then turns back to K'Rika. "Can't we skip to the end? My body really needs the tryptophan and phenylethylamine. And, sugar. And, the sugar."

Xylvarenn smiles shyly to K'rika and Billies adorable scene, nodding with approval to K'rika for her great initiative, planing and structure as a great hostess
