Everyone say happy birthday to my big sis!

The best big sister EVAR!!! Luisa Madrigal!!!!

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[Action for Luisa]

[In a small, brightly colored box with a box on it is a stuffed Galarian Rapidash. There’s a card to Luisa that simply says, “Love you, sis! We are so having a party later.

Love,
Mirabel”]

Comments

Action of course

[neverbreaks]

[ Somehow Luisa had lost track of the days that the little gift comes as a bit of a surprise. Of course she knew her birthday was coming; after the Halloween event, it was only a matter of time, and yet somehow she still hadn't realized what today actually was until she sees her sister's present.

...and then she also sees the post on the network, but she'll just have to deal with that later. Instead she goes to find Mirabel and scoops her younger sister up into a hug. ]

Thanks for letting us know. I had no idea.

[Now he just. Has to figure something out this last minute...]

[Awww this is so cute~]

Happy birthday, Luisa, and thank you, Mirabel. Any requests for gifts?

[She knows Luisa was eyeing some of the training gear at the Battle Convention, and that she's gotten quite the foothold in the last contest, but it never hurts to ask.]

[neverbreaks]

[ If she's the best big sister, then Mirabel is the best little sister EVAR and nothing can change her mind. ]

Thank you! But you don't have to get me anything.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley has to smile at this sweet, thoughtful post. He considers Luisa a dear friend and immediately starts pondering what he can do for the day.]

Happy Birthday! I hope it's a great one.

[neverbreaks]

Thanks! [ She laughs a little. ] It's already off to a pretty good start.

[crystalmaster]

That's great! Do you have any plans for the day?

[neverbreaks]

Nothing yet, but I'm sure we'll figure something out. To be honest, I'd almost forgotten that it is my birthday, until Mira reminded me.

Happy birthday! How old is she now?

[Huh? Gifts?... No, no, he's not getting anything. But it's nice to wish people a happy birthday!]

[neverbreaks]

Thanks! [ That's fine, Luisa doesn't really want people to go out of their way to get her something. ] I just turned 20.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley chuckles.]

Loved ones are good at that.

[His Pokemon had made sure he had a nice birthday.]

Are you still around Goldenrod? I don't wanna interfere with anything Mirabel might be planning, but I'd like to bring something by for a few minutes, if that's okay.

[neverbreaks]

Oh yeah, we're still in Goldenrod right now. You really don't have to do that, though.

[crystalmaster]

Cool. I'd like to do it! It's no trouble.

[He's thinking of making some kind of food dish.]

[neverbreaks]

Well, uh, if you're sure.

[ She feels a tiny bit bad, but she also won't push it either. ]

But yeah, where do you wanna meet up?

[crystalmaster]

Where are you staying right now? Is it the Center?

[neverbreaks]

No, one of the inns in town. It's close to the department store, though, so maybe we can meet there?

[crystalmaster]

Sure, that's fine! Maybe in a couple of hours?

[He's calculating how long it will take him to make it.]

[neverbreaks]

Okay. I'll see you in a couple hours then.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley hangs up and gets to work. Cosmo helps him in the kitchen and he has everything ready on time. He heads to the department store with six of his Pokemon. He lives close to it, both for business reasons (more traffic!) and because his Pokemon love shopping. As they arrive, they look around for Luisa.]

[neverbreaks]

[ Soon enough, Luisa walks along the road towards the department store, her Hisuian Arcanine at her side. When she spots Radley, she waves. ]

Hey!

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smiles.]

Hi!

[He goes over, his Pokemon warbling.]

Happy Birthday again. I hope you like this. We made some enchiladas and rice and beans.

[He holds out a takeout container with colorful birthday graphics as well as his restaurant logo.]

[neverbreaks]

[ Luisa's expression lights up a bit as she takes the container, with Mullido sniffing at it curiously. ]

Wow, thank you! I'm sure it'll be great.

[ Though the thought of food certainly does make her miss her mother. ]

[crystalmaster]

You're welcome! We had fun making it.

[Evie, as always, wants to make friends and happily greets Mullido!]

[neverbreaks]

[ The Hisuian Arcanine snorts in reply - not in a mean way, that's just how he seems to greet people. ]

Well, thank you, it was very nice of you.

[heartofalioness]

I know I don't, but I want to, really.
