The bus was starting to empty as the seats gradually became vacant as her fellow team mates and crew were dropped off at their destinations of choice. It sucked being one of the last, and night had began to fall. Lucie had been glad to receive all the return messages from her friends, and was especially excited that she was still able attend Nat's party despite not having the time to put together an outfit. She was sure that she was going to be severely undressed compared to everyone else at the party, and that would be a complete [i]bummer[/i]. On the bright side, at least she could still attend. She was glad to know that Benji had enjoyed his gift and that was all that mattered. Nat's birthday present was something special all together. She had went hunting for it among the streets and shops of Stuttgart, and finally managed to find what she knows the older girl will enjoy. It was definitely something unique and within Momma Nat's interests. Lucie quickly typed out the following replies to her friends.

[center][b]To: Momma Nat
[color=salmon]Oh that's fantastic! Thanks so much Momma! It's almost my turn now, so I should be arriving shortly. Can't wait to see you all![/color][/b][/center]

[center][b]To: Benji
[color=salmon]I'm glad you enjoyed the gift! You don't know what trouble I went through to get that! It's a limited edition set! Yes, I'm coming to the party as Nat has made an exception for me to come without proper outfit as I'm coming straight from the airport.[/color][/b][/center]

[center][b]To: EvaButiful
[color=salmon]Thanks, and Yes! I'm coming! I'm almost there. See you soon![/color][/b][/center]

It was finally her turn, and Lucie alighted from the bus, retrieving her luggage from the coach's storage compartment, dragging it along with her as she began to make her approach into the party's venue. Soon enough, she made her entrance known as she came into sight of the rest of her friends with an excited cry as her eyes fell upon the sight of all the people she knew here at the party. [color=salmon][b]"HI EVEERYONE! I'M HERE!!! It's so good to see you all again!!"[/b][/color] The exuberant girl gave everyone an excited wave coupled with a beaming smile. 

Looking around at everyone else, she felt incredibly under-dressed in her [url=https://usagym.org/images/post_images/4701.jpg]Team USA tracksuit[/url] when compared to everyone's stunning outfits. Leaving her luggage at the side, Lucie shook that thought away as she retrieved a rather large squarish-looking package wrapped in brown wrapping paper from its interior before bouncing over to the birthday girl, locating her as if she had sonar. Finally locating the[i] Momma [/i]herself, Lucie greeted and wished her, [color=salmon][b]"Hi Nat! Happy Birthday! I hope you like my gift!"[/b][/color] before thrusting the gift into her hands. When Nat opened the present, she would find a [url=http://gearpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Hasselblad-500C-Gear-Patrol-Final.jpg]fully functional vintage camera[/url] that Lucie had bought from a shop selling vintage goodies in Germany. It took quite a bit of time for her to find it, but it was all worth it, if Nat loved it. She didn't had much time for shopping before they were due to return, so all she had time for were to get gifts for her special people, her [i]crushes[/i]. Nat had an exception, because, well, it was [i]her birthday[/i].

After she was done with Nat, Lucie bounced off to the next person, Benji. She retrieved the gift she had for him, and walking up to him, she gave the gift to him with a warm smile. [color=salmon][b]"Hi Benj, this is for you. I hope you enjoy it!"[/b][/color] She then scooted off to the next person in her list, who was none other than the man himself, Bryant O'Connor, otherwise known as Hottie O'Connor. Knowing how much he loved his gum and candies, she had bought him an assorted pack of gums and German candies for his enjoying pleasure. 

Walking over to him, Lucie then thrust the wrapped packaging into his hands. She had not mentioned anything to him earlier as she wanted to keep it a surprise.[color=salmon][b]"Hey Connor, this is for you. I hope you like it."[/b][/color] It was then that Lucie blushed tomato red as she realised her mistake, but it was too late to do anything now. She had forgotten to remove the inner labeling that she had placed for her own recognition's sake. It read "[i]For Hottie O'Connor.[/i]"
