(Shela sitting on her bed, rubbing her eyes and tying up her hair before walking into the hallway)
Charles: SURPRISE BITCH! (jumps from around the corner making Shela jump)
(Roy: Charles, don’t call your sister a bitch!)
Shela: Jesus christ, what the hell was that for?
Charles: Did you forget it’s your birthday? Celia helped us with making a cake.
Shela: I didn’t forget, I’m just tired you jerk.
Charles: Just shut up and come eat this cake.
Shela: (shakes her head and follows him into the kitchen)
Roy: (setting the cut cake down in the center of the table before placing slices down on plates) I hope it came out alright, I’ve never been as good of a cook or baker as your mother was.
Charles: Just be glad you didn’t have to eat the test cake before Celia stepped in.
Roy: H-hey it wasn’t that bad.
Shela: (snickers before eating a small bite) It’s just fine dad, thanks. Not as good as mom’s but that’s a hard challenge to beat.
Roy: I’ll take it. (sits down and they all eat and chat)
-Later on, outside the house where Roy is tending to a small vegetable garden-
Shela: Hey you know I can take care of that right?
Roy: I didn’t want to make you do it on your birthday (laughs) But some help and company might be nice.
Shela: Sure. (begins tending to another patch of the garden)Hey um, dad?
Roy: Yes?
Shela: Do you think that um…maybe you could train me more? Like, with how you train Charles, he goes into the forest with you pretty often. I do like training the others but I feel like I’m at a wall with what I can learn…
Roy: W-Well…(looking at Shela with sadness in his eyes) I can try. You do need to learn more, that’s true. We’ll start bringing you in to the forest occasionally with the rest of the party, okay?
Shela: (smiling) Thanks, I’d appreciate that. Plus I think Aero and Dean are tired of me kicking their asses.
Roy: (laughs) Yeah I noticed they seemed a little more beat up after training lately. Do try not to push them too hard.
Shela: I’ll try.
(Two continue working on the garden before Charles approaches them)
Charles: So you ready for the best birthday party of your life?
Shela: What?? Oh god please don’t tell me you roped the entire camp into this.
Charles: Sure did! Don’t worry, I didn’t make everyone bring you presents, we’re just using it as an excuse for a feast is all.
Shela: (glances at Roy) Why do I feel like I just got used as an excuse for him to stuff his face?
Roy: (laughing) Because I think you just did.
Charles: C’mon you have to go now. It’s technically your party still.
Shela: (laughs) Oh fine, let’s go.
(Three of them walk further into the camp where there are tables set up, stacked with various kinds of food though nothing extremely fancy)
Crowd: Happy birthday!!
Shela: (blushing) Ahaha thanks everyone. (tries to hide behind Charles and Roy but is quickly dragged into the group by Aero and Dean)
Aero: You have to come here, we got you something.
Shela: I thought my brother said not to bring gifts.
Dean: Yeah but we had an idea and Keeta has been practicing leather work.
Shela: What the hell did you guys do…
(Shela is then presented two spiked wristbands by Keeta, who is being wheeled over by Ash)
(Shela slowly takes them and puts them on)
Dean: Are you okay? Why are you crying?
Shela: (jolts up and wipes her eyes immediately) Shut up. Anyway these are…great, thank you so much.
Keeta: They match your collar now! And I hope they fit okay, Aero wasn’t much help with measurements. (smiles)
Aero: I didn’t think about it okay.
Shela: (laughs) Yeah they’re just fine.
Ash: We also flatted the tips of the spikes a bit
Aero: We didn’t wanna die
Shela: (laughs harder) Okay yeah, fair enough. They’re great though, I love them. I’m just, surprised is all. (pulls them into a group hug)
Shela: But don’t think this means I’ll go too easy on you during training.
Dean: Well it was worth a shot (laughs)
Charles: (slightly in the distance) Hey guys, come help make this bonfire!
(everyone helps to build a large bonfire, going from evening to night)
(Roy telling stories and such)
(Roy looks over to see Shela laughing with her friends)
Roy: I am glad to see she’s fitting in, I was worried she might withdraw after your mother’s passing…
Charles: She’s a lot stronger than you give her credit for honestly.
Roy: Maybe you’re right…
(Roy looks at Shela again, only for it to morph to Clarissa)
(He looks shocked and shakes his head, frowning deeply)
(Eventually people start to leave the circle and the fire is put out)
(Shela and Charles walking back home, Roy having already gone ahead)
Shela: Hey uh…thanks for this. I guess it wasn’t so bad after all.
Charles: I knew you’d like it once you actually just went and did it, you big nerd.
Shela: (whacks him)
Charles: Hey! Besides, it was good for dad too. He’s been worried about you.
Shela: (rolls her eyes) Nothing new there…
Charles: Hey I’m just saying, I think he’ll feel more confident in spending more time training you now, that’s all.
Shela: I hope you’re right…
(Charles ruffles her hair before stepping inside. Shela looks over her shoulder, smiles, and steps in)
