"heh... I guess they're not really coming..." Ruby leaned her head against the table, trying to keep a smile despite her feelings, looking at how her 16 candle cake was still intact.

Today was her birthday, her sixteenth birthday... but no one had been able to go even to congratulate her. since the day began Ruby had been waiting for something, anything, she had even announced her 'Birthdayween' in advance but... no one had shown up.

Not even Yang... her own sister... and that was what hurt her the most... and her father Tai seemed to forget to send a letter

"...Come on Zwei, at least you and I can spend the day" Ruby said in a totally downcast tone, taking her corgi in her arms, already having tears in her eyes
