...how kids plan parties...

If they're dreamers, they want bouncy castles and pony rides and giant tigers.

If they're the children of superheroes, oddly enough they still want those things, but you can't find a good pony that resists nuclear radiation as Tyler's learned. So, in the interest of keeping things simple and within his budget, a party has come together in the backyard of the house of one Augustus Fenwick.

Inside, there's plenty of soda in the fridge, and bowls of chips, dips, crackers, pretzels and ofcourse candy and little paper favor bags. The coffee table between the couch and TV already has one large present wrapped in brown paper (decorated with green watercolor cats) and an absolutely HUGE box wrapped in a myriad of wrapping papers next to it.

Outside in the fenced backyard is a good sized stick, branch and log structure, waiting to be set on fire as soon as the sun really starts to set, and that isn't that far off as the afternoon sunlight reveals. There's a kid in a black trenchcoat that looks about eight sizes too big poking about said structure as Tyler holds open the door for the guests. And decorating the walls, counter top are little decorated brown-paper flags saying 'Happy Birthday Nepeta!" in green letters.

"It's got lions!"

How can it not be that good? Karkat, you are talking crazy talk.

"YEAH I THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE THAT, I HAD TO SNOOP AROUND TO FIND A HUMAN MOVIE WITH THEM THAT WASN'T JUST A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT EATING GAZELLES AND SHIT."

Karkat is not sure about singing lions, but Nepeta will probably enjoy them.

"NOT REALLY," he grunts. "BUT I WASN'T REALLY EXPECTING TO."

By now she's disentangled herself. "Was it good enough that you might purrhaps want to watch it again with me?"

"I HAD TO DROP OFF A PRESENT FOR NEPETA AND MAKE SURE SHE ISN'T DOING ANYTHING TOO DUMBASSED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO HERSELF. IT WOULD SUCK IF THIS LITTLE CULTURALLY INAPPROPRIATE SHINDIG ENDED WITH AN OLD-FASHIONED DISSECTION BY HAM-FISTED HUMAN SCIENTISTS."

"THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN ISSUE I CHERISH MY IGNORANCE ON," Karkat says. "ANYWAY IT IS JUST A DROP-IN TO GIVE HER THIS DUMB MOVIE ABOUT SINGING LIONS, UNSPOOL YOUR LOWER BIFURCATED GARMENTS."

Shred shred shred!

Truth to tell, Nepeta's almost as excited about the giant box itself as she is about what it might contain. Only the paper's getting shredded; the box gets opened very carefully.

Karkat finds a mirror and stares in it for a while. "HUH. YEAH, I THINK IT IS THESE FLAT TEETH." He can feel his fangs under his tongue, but in the reflection it is a pink tongue running over dull mashers.

...


The resultant sound is that high-pitched keen of delight best described as squee.
