Chapter 45: Vol. 6 Extra chapter: Birthday.

Date: January 15th, 1987.
That day was Mat's birthday and they were going to celebrate it. Mat didn't want them to do anything for it, since he didn't like that kind of event, but... Sam managed to convince Mathias' mother to do something, as it was a very important day.
Mat's party was supposed to be at his house at six o'clock in the evening, and only a small group of people (his friends) were supposed to attend. But...
- Huh? But why? - Mat complained.
Mat was outside his house, at the door. His mother and Sam were there, talking to him.
- Mat, stop that, it's because it's your birthday, that's why. - said his mother. - At least let us celebrate your birthday like this once.
Seriously, he didn't like to celebrate his own birthdays, not even with his family.
- B-but...
- No buts! - Samantha demanded, yelling loudly at him. Mat freaked out, "Last year he wouldn't let me celebrate it, but now nothing will stop me from doing it." - It's YOUR birthday, so why would you help? Just wait, we do everything, okay? You don't always have to be on the lookout to help us... Just for today let others take care of it, okay?
- ...Okay. - Mat replied.
- In the meantime, go to Sam's house. - said his mother. - To hang out with Andrew. Oh, and be back by six.
- Okay, mom. - she replied. - See ya!
- Bye. - they both said and went inside. Mat stood there.
They closed the door in his face.
- Ah.
After a while, inside Mat's house, Sam said to herself:
- Wait... I told Andrew to come help too...

To give you a little more context, Sam planned this two days ago, and convinced Mathias' mother to do it. Mat's mother bought snacks, decorations and... Those things; they also prepared the place for the party (which in itself... was just going to be like a simple gathering.) Sam also had Nicole prepare a simple cake (she knew how to prepare that among other things), and to convince her he told her that his brother would go (actually he did it as a joke) and she accepted without hesitation... Ah, he did this a day ago.
He also wanted to get Erin to collaborate by doing something, but...
- Nah, that's fine. I'm not good at this stuff. If I get into this, I might end up putting them behind.
That's what he said, and in a sense it was true, but the thing is, he was lazy to do anything.
The thing is, Mat went to Sam's house, to see his brother.
- Drew? He went out an hour ago. - said Sam and Andrew's grandmother. - I think he went to his grandfather's.
Mat went over there and...
- He left a while ago. - Grandpa said. - He was helping me, but he remembered he had something important to do and told me he was leaving.
- Did he say where?
- No, he didn't.
- I see.
They talked for a while and Mat left.
- Well, never mind. - he said to himself.
.
..
...
In the end he went with James (he was at his house with his other friends when Mat went, they talked for a while.) and, at that moment, he was going to his party with him (it was six o'clock). When he got home he saw that everything was closed, but Sam was there.
- Oh, you came. - she said. - Ah, hi, James!
- Hi. - he answered her.
- Huh? Well, yeah, but... Why? Weren't you going to celebrate my birthday?
- Oh, about that... - Sam said. - Follow me.
- Oh, okay. - said James.
- ...OK. - Mat.
They followed her, and had small talk on the way. Finally they arrived at... Nicole's house?
- Wait, this is the place? - asked Mat.
- Yes! - Sam answered.
Nicole was at the door.

- The birthday boy is here! - she exclaimed.
She brought the three of them in. Mat's mother was there, Erin was there, and... She was there because she was told it was going to be at four, but no; she was forced to help. Andrew was also there (his sister made him help with... with anything). Reina was there, her parents were there (they allowed the party to be there because Mat had helped them... And that.) Besides them there were... Wait, why were there kids? Ah, they were Mat's friends too... Well.
The party was there because in the backyard there was a swimming pool.
To sum up a bit what happened there, Mat's birthday party was a simple one. In itself, it wasn't as Mat expected, since, although it was his birthday, that party seemed to be made for the kids that were invited, which were about ten, but... He was happy. They sang to him, ate cake and something else.
Oh, and something else happened too. After singing to him, his mother said a few words and, after that, she approached Mathias and said:
- Oh, Mathias, my boy, you are already becoming quite an adult. - She showered him with kisses.
- Mom...!
They all looked at that scene, which felt a bit awkward and... They laughed.
- You're going to become a good man, I know that very well.
After a while, they went to the pool. And after that, they started playing there, and after that...

- Hey, hey. - the spiky-haired young man said to me.
What's wrong?
- If you're going to tell us about it like that, without any desire, then... What are you telling us for?
I'm sorry.
- Brother. - Alaya said. Ah, yes. He called him brother, but he wasn't really his blood brother... nor anything else, well. - Uncle Zoron has been telling us this all day, because you asked him to, don't claim him like that.
- Huh? I asked him? I told him to give me information about the other heroes, not this. He is telling us like this, because YOU are here.
It's true, I did it for her. And... It's not like I'm getting tired of it.
- Huh? What do you mean, for me? And you really don't get tired? - Alaya claimed. - Why?
I'll tell you what's important.
- Hey, don't ignore her. - Eliah complained to me.
That's something they must not know. Oh, and in case anyone else is watching this, and I know they are, those two are nineteen and eight, respectively.
- Th-that's...
- Uncle... That's... That's scary. - Alaya freaked out, because she was told that she's being watched.
- B-but... Wow, am I really nineteen already? The passage of time is strange...
Yes.

So here's the important thing, now.
Erin, who had entered the pool in her normal clothes, went to dry off and change, ready to leave.
When she returned she saw, from the door to the patio, that there were children still playing and that Mat and Sam were sitting, together, at the edge of the pool. They were talking about something.
"They look so good together... I... Agh... No... I shouldn't pry anymore." Erin thought.
- Hey, Erin, what are you doing staring at them for so long? - Andrew.
- Ah! - she panicked.
- ...What? You're scary...
After about three hours (since it started), the party ended and everyone left.

- Was that all? - Eliah asked.
Yes.
- Really? Nothing else? - claimed Eliah. - So... Ah, that's why it was an extra, right?
Yes.
- I see... Well, I'm bored already... Hey, Alaya, do you want to play a game?
- I do!
While they went to the room where I had my collection of... Stuff, I said to myself, now with a hyphen:
- Now something a little more interesting is starting. Wait... Where are they going? Hey, wait, I'm coming too!
For some reason, I forgot they were gone. Well, the thing is, I finally went with them and so.
Ah, if you wanted to know, I'll just say that some of the things I had in there were game consoles from different eras, mostly they were human game consoles.
