Mayfield: A Saga

The Brooks kids were growing up so fast! Already it was time for Daphne and Claudia both to have a birthday. The family wanted to have a huge birthday bash for the two girls, so they decided to throw a joint party. Marisa hadn’t been feeling well lately, she was pretty sure she had caught the flu from some bad guy that she had caught at work one day, but nevertheless she spent loads of time in planning the party. The balloons were inflated, the cakes were baked and decorated, and the party buffet had been delivered. At 5pm the guests were starting to arrive and the party music started blaring! It was so loud what with all the dancing, laughing, and eating!

“Is Ben dancing with my daughter! Excuse me while I go punch him in the face.”

In the middle of the party, Marisa turned the music down and summoned everyone to the center of the room where she had placed one of the birthday cakes on a little white table. She stooped down and picked up little Daffy, who seemed to still be dancing in her own little world even though the music was barely audible. Everyone gathered round and Blake handed out party noise-makers. The house was filled with the honks of horns and screams of “Happy Birthday!”. And then Marisa helped Daffy blow out the candles on the cake. Daphne was now a child!

“Daffy, stop eating mommy’s hair and blow out the candles!”

After the cheering died down from Daphne’s transition, Blake went to the playpen and picked up little, delicate Claudia. He brought her over to the second birthday cake in the middle of the crowded room. She smiled and coo’ed to all of the guests as Blake carried her through the crowd. Claudia had always loved being around people. She seemed to be very trusting, and would let anyone in the world hold her. The honking and screaming filled the air again as Blake held her up to her birthday cake and helped her blow out the candles. With a big giggle, Claudia became a toddler!

“Wheeee! Aren’t I pretty?! (Except for my beak nose…)”
