Xaven had been up since 6 that morning, it was his best friends birthday, and she didnt want a cake, which she was totally getting one anyway, his mother was the boss round these parts, and she didnt take no for an answer. they had today, and then tomorrow they were heading to camp and after that, summer was over and he wasnt going to be seeing her again til hopefully next summer (hopefully) he'd told himself as he flipped the bacon over in the skillet, being as quiet as he could. they had a full full house, for some reason, his odd uncle.. his dad's brother had showed up just out of the blue, which his mom and dad both said had happened three times before, apparently his uncle was some time of wanderer drifter.  to Xaven was just weird.  turning around, looking over his shoulder, his uncle was snoring on the couch.  shrugging he turned back around, not noticing his uncle opening his eyes to stare at him, something he'd been doing secretly since he got there, a day and he'd know for sure.  

Xaven, once the morning breakfast was done.. he'd had her favorite eggs, bacon, extra extra chrispy, even risking it, his mother's homemade biscuts recipe.  completing the birthday breakfast, he added a glass of orange juice, and then his present.  carrying them toward the guest bedroom, he managed to turn the knob while holding the plate, and he walked inside, kicking the door closed behind him. "happy birthday to you" smiling ."happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Nessie" winking. "happy birthday to you" walking over, he waited til she could sit up ,before sitting the breakfast down. "enjoy that, cause it took me an hour and ah half to make it just right" sitting down at the foot of the bed, he held out his present for her. "happy birthday, open it quick.. hurry hurry hurry!" he said, rushing her cause he wanted to see her face.  when she'd open it, inside she'd find a picture that had.. well it had been lost in the fire, but he'd found his copy of it.. it was of him and her, younger.. they'd been fishing, and were both holding up their catch.  her father and mother hugging them both.  and to be funny, her dad and Xaven had taking his fish off, and hooked her father's wading boot to the line, just to be funny.  "i found it in my photos, and i know you lost yours, i couldnt have that so, thats yours now, so you can remember the good times yea"
