*Busy Day*

Thalia was sitting on her bed drawing a picture in her journal. It was a picture of Serena playing a super flute. A super flute was a long one that could blast its sound over a mile away. She looked over at Serena who was sound asleep.

Serena wasn't acting the same way. She always seemed distracted, almost like she was in another world. That was why Thalia was drawing the picture, hoping it would make her be her normal self.

Shells burst into the room, causing Thalia to jumped. Serena opened her eyes.

"Wakey Wakey! Hurry and get dressed Serena, we are going out while Hyde isn't here. We are going to get him a cake!" She said with a huge grin. Serena looked at her, then rolled over. She did not want to wake up. "Serena wake up right now. We don't have time to waste."

"I wanna sleep." She muttered. Shells was getting impatient. Finally she just grabbed Serena out of bed and put her over her shoulder. "Momma Shells put me down!"

"Nope. Not until you promise you will get up and go with Thalia and I to the bakery." Shells said as she swung Serena around. Thalia was laughing at them.

"Fine Momma Shells. Let me down." Serena said. Shells set her down. She went to her closet and pulled out a lavender dress. Thalia didn't want to change. She was enjoyed her black dress and pants under them.

Thalia was in the kitchen with Shells. She had left her picture in the bedroom, assuming she wouldn't be able to work on it in the car.

Once she was dressed they went into the car. The girls sat in the back. Thalia sat behind Shells and Serena sat next to her. Shells started up the car and began to drive. Serena stared out the window.

Thalia became worried again. Her sister was ignoring Shells, she was off in her own world. She hoped Serena would get better and soon.

"Serena, were you even listening to me?" Shells asked. Serena looked at her mom. She shook her head no. "I was just telling Thalia that today is Hyde's birthday. Every year I forget but this year it is going to be different. We are going to get him a cake."

"Chocolate cake? I like chocolate cake." she said with a smile. Shells laughed.

"I think that sounds good. What do you think Thalia?"

Thalia nodded her head and smiled.

They went to a small bakery. It wasn't very crowded. There were lots of cakes on display. Serena felt like she was in paradise. The cakes smelt so good. Shells found one. It was round in shape. It was white with music notes on it. There was a guy with a guitar on it.

"Mommy Hyde would love it!" Serena said. Thalia nodded her head in agreement. They ordered the cake and had it put in a box. Back in the car they decided to let Thalia hold it.

They head home. Hyde is there when they return.

"Where were you gals? I was very worried." He said as he picked up Thalia, who handed the box that held the cake to Serena. "What is in the box?"

"I guess we can tell you. Serena open the box." Shells said. Serena opened the box.

"Happy birthday!" Shells and Serena yelled. Thalia waved her hands in joy. Hyde laughed.

"Wow, this is a surprise. Thank you all for doing this." He said with a huge grin.

"I remembered. Last year when I forgot you said it would be a miracle if I could ever remember your birthday." Shells bragged.

"Um, Shells honey, I hate to tell you but tomorrow is my birthday." He said with an uneasy grin. Shells face dropped. "But it is okay if we celebrate it early."

They ate the cake and then played some card games.
