Lomany tried to open her eyes, and a pressure made itself known on her eyelids.

So she couldn’t.

Lomany tried to move, and a pressure on her arms and chest made itself know.

So she couldn’t.

Lomany tried to read the minds of anyone who might be around, but a pressure in her head made itself known.

So she couldn’t.

She began to panic. A million thoughts streamed through her head, all more terrible than the last.

What has happened to me? What has happened to the others? Are they all right? Lomany’s mind buzzed with fright.

Then as suddenly as it had come, the pressure on her eyelids was gone.

She hurriedly snapped her eyes open, and prepared herself for all manner of horrible futures.

Slowly, something came into focus.

Something blue, with 4 legs, 2 arms, a tail…

“Branell!” she exclaimed, when she recognised her boyfriend. “What’re you doing?”

There was a moment of silence, and then…

“SURPRISE!!!”

Lomany realised that she wasn’t strapped down. It was Putan and Lyspance, perching on her arms and chest. Branell was sitting at the end of her bed,

“What’re you doing?” she asked.

They grinned back at her.

“La Tulipe tried to fight us yesterday, and we won. Or have you forgotten?”

Lomany shook her head, grinning at the memory.

---

La Tulipe swarmed around the GKND, cackling.

“I’ve got you this time!”

“No,” said Lomany. “Not this time.” In front of her hovered a small box with a red button on. She grinned at La Tulipe, and pushed it.

The ground rocked, and the gang watched in triumph as La Tulipe’s roots were wrenched from the ground.

She suddenly began to shrink to the size of a common adult, and the group could see she was already very weak.

More GKND operatives surrounded La Tulipe, and at once, she was captured.

The little gang were rode back to the headquarters on the backs of the other operatives like heroes.

---

“But that’s nothing to scare me for!”

Branell grinned, and Putan and Lyspance shared a knowing glance.

“I don’t believe it…” they all muttered.

Lomany frowned.

“Believe what?”

Branell answered her question with two words.

“Happy Birthday.”

Lomany looked stunned. The others chuckled.

“Typical Lomany. Be so concerned for safety that she forgets her own birthday.” That was Putan.

“Yeah. After we even told her we would have a surprise for her. She’s obviously forgotten that too.” That was Lyspance.

Lomany had. She blushed.

“I… I thought you guys were in danger…” she said softly.

Branell smiled and gave her a hug.

“Sorry for scaring you. Happy Birthday.”

Lomany hugged him back. Then she remembered something else important.

“Why can’t I read what you’re thinking?!”

Once again, Branell smiled tenderly.

“You got hit on the head pretty hard at the start of the fight. You’ve probably just got a headache.”

Lomany tried to read their thoughts, but her head began to pound.

“Yes, you were right.” Lomany winced, but soon the pain began to subside.

“Now,” said Branell, beaming wildly and taking Lomany by the hand, “Let’s have some fun!”

And so they did.
