You had just came home from work, exhausted after the many hours you had been slaving away on the computer for the new assignments your boss had given you to finish. Luckily you just got off your shift so you were gonna take some time to relax yourself. Surprisingly, it was your birthday but sadly no one had remembered or come to even give a greeting about it. Oh well, at least you can dive into the small cupcake you’ve been saving yourself for your own celebration.

You walked up to the front porch, dragging your tired body up the stairs slowly as you approached the door and keyed it open, expecting to see the same old house empty as usual. However a bewildered expression flushed onto your face as you analyzed the area with slight shock.

The walls were decorated with colorful banners and pins that were hung on, balloons crowding the ceiling with a few tied together in small groups with confetti suddenly popping out all around through tiny cannons. A large table had been put in the middle of the living room, filled with desserts and one large cake at the center with candles aflame with the fragrance floating into your nose with a pleasant welcoming manner. There was a gather of boxes at the side, tied with pretty bows and wrapping paper of variations.

Swap was standing next to the table with a huge grin on his skeletal face, opening his arms with an exaggerated gesture to everything with a heartily laugh.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUDDY!” He exclaimed with a light hearted tone, eagerly waiting to see your reaction to his sudden surprise party.
