a birthday like no other.

[neverplays]

Who: Mindy & EVERYONE that wants to go bowling
What: Mindy's Birthday Party
When: April 29th. After the reception, but before Brock and Mol duck out for their honeymoon.
Where: Alley Oops: Bowling Lanes
Notes: This is back-dated! There is bowling and there are bumpers for those that are LAME and can't bowl like grown-ups.



Mindy hadn't wanted something big. In fact, she'd pretty much informed Molotov the complete opposite of wanting a party. Weddings were a big deal. All the movies she'd watched about them had shown just how important they were to the bride and any attention that wasn't on the bride was a bad thing. Mindy was happy to just be a part of the wedding, to be asked to do something important that wasn't requiring extra ammo clips or a blunt object. The birthday was literally the frosting on the cake. The birthday cake that was staring at her as she entered the bowling alley.

It was amazing and Mindy couldn't actually believe that this party was hers. There was ice cream and bowling and all of her friends would show up at some point. She opted not to change out of her dress from the wedding. It was pretty and she'd never had a dress like this before. Plus, she figured the bowling shoes would still match.

Moving toward the cake, she circled it like a predator watching her prey. "This thing is unreal. It can't be real cake. It's fake, right? The real cake is off somewhere else." Mindy glanced around, trying to spot where the actual cake was hiding. "I mean, it's all..." Her hands moved on an angle, trying to mirror the sharp angles of the cake.

"Mol! Is this real cake or art cake for the magazines?"

It's been a while since Max's been bowling. Life back home didn't leave a whole lot of time for it, but it's fun, and considering it's Mindy's birthday, now was as good an opportunity as ever.

She wandered into the bowling alley, present tucked under her arm, and she can't help but grin when she saw that cake.

"Nice."

"Mol picked it out for me. It's way too cool to eat."

Mindy was clearly impressed by that cake.

Max gave her a bit of a playful look. "No cake is too cool to eat."

"This one is pretty close."

[whatialways_do]

"Alright. I guess I can give you that."

"Brock is gonna cut it so that it doesn't get ruined."

[whatialways_do]

"Cool."

She then paused, before glancing around the rest of the room.

"I haven't been bowling in a long time."

"It's really easy. Plus, if you suck they put up those lame bumper guards in one of the alleys."

[whatialways_do]

She laughed. "Well, fortunately for me, I don't suck."

"Yeah? Is that because you're an XFive?"

[whatialways_do]

"A little bit. But I've had a lot of practice too."

[neverplays]

"Well good, because I'm not gonna go easy on you."

[whatialways_do]

"I wouldn't expect anything less." And she didn't. It always used to piss her off when people gave her a break because she was a kid -- she didn't expect for that to change as an adult.
