"happy birthday!" "happy 10th birthday!" "happy birthday, Sody!"
it was the youngest one of you all, Sody Pop's 10th birthday. you didn't know him well, but you went to his birthday party for the sake of everyone else.
as a deity of time and (former) clock man, you weren't good with gifts. you weren't good with socializing, period. so, you talked with Slushi, Sody's closest friend, about what to do.
you had suggested using your shapechanging abilities to turn into one of Sody's favorite characters. Slushi argued with the fact that you'd recently been forced into a new form that you couldn't change, and that using your ability might turn out for the worst. you said it'd be fine.
boy were you wrong.
here you were, at the extravagant party Sody's mom, Sassparilla, had thrown for him. it was time for the presents. Sody opened a bunch of presents with cool toys, and finally, it was your turn for the present.
you began to transform, or, more accurately, attempt to transform, into Sody's favorite character. little did you know, due to the magic that was binding you in your new bear form, your shapechanging magic made you to only half-way transformed, making you look like a flesh monster from hell.
"tada!" you said, hoping he'd like it.
he blinked a couple times, holding his new action figure. he didn't react at first, his striped tail limp and still. then, tears began to come out of his eyes and he whimpered, covering his face and sobbing. he screamed incoherently about how he was scared.
you felt horrible.
