Completely Cadence ~ Part the Third

In Which the Princess Ascends the Throne

Well that's better. For a moment I thought I was warping into the twilight zone or something.



Let's see what we have here...boobs? Check. Small waist? Check. Slim hips? Check. Not bad...not bad at all.

Why are you staring at me Wyatt? Do I have cake on my nose or something?

He's just staring because you grew into a real looker Cadie.
Really? Thanks Dad but you are a bit biased now aren't you?

As promised, we are all having a piece of Mom's awesome spice cake. I thought I'd be much too excited to eat but I devoured mine already. And Cooper is sitting across from me. *sigh*

Have you noticed how Wyatt keeps looking at me? I swear if one of my brothers put a stupid sign on my back, I will kill them. He looks like Cooper though don't you think?

I swear I could listen to Cooper talk all night. He has the best voice...

*gasp* Did I say that out loud?

Cadence really turned into a lovely young girl didn't she Wyatt?
Uh...yeah...lovely.
Lovely? We are talking about my sister right? You have to be kidding...

Here you go sweetheart...happy birthday.

For me? Whatever could you have put in such a small box?

*laughing* Well why don't you open it and see for crying out loud?

Your mom and I picked it out specially for you. I think you'll like it.

Oh Daddy I'm just teasing you. Whatever it is, I'm sure I'll love it.

*muttering softly* I was thinking it would be bigger...oh well...

Oh Daddy! Thank you so much! It's awesome!

Love you Cadie bug.

Oh honey you grew up so well! I hope you enjoyed your party.

It was great Mom. Can we do makeup after everyone leaves?

*laughing* Of course we can. But you don't need it. You're lovely.

We're taking off Cadence. It's a long way and Jason's driving. You know how long that's going to take.

Happy birthday Half Punk. Don't forget...we are only a phone call away if you need us for anything. That's why we got you the cell phone.

Happy birthday Cadence.
Thanks Wy.
All right Wyatt, you can stop hugging my daughter now.

Happy birthday Cadence. You're going to have boys lined up at the door fighting over you.

You really think so Cooper?
Yes, I really think so.

Beth, thanks for coming. Give Rainie a big kiss for me.
I will honey. Happy birthday.

Well, all in all I think this day went fairly well. Thankfully, I'm looking pretty stylish more or less.

Of course Mom insists on the usual full body shot for the family photo album. I will say I grew up way better than my brothers did. They looked like dorks when they became teenagers.

And here we have the requisite shot on the floor by the brown loveseat. It's a tradition so who am I to say no?

Here's a closeup so you can see just how much I've changed.

And of course here we go again with the couch shot. My mother still can't seem to look at the camera.

Geez Peri she looks just like you...beautiful. My two beautiful girls.

OK, I think this pose works much better. Maybe the whole couch thing will turn into a thing of the past. At least they aren't looking away.

And since I know you were wondering what Mom and Dad got me for my birthday, there it is. A brand new shiny blue VW Beetle. Are they the coolest parents or what? I told you my present would be better than my brothers'.

So I guess that's it! I'm going to put on some makeup with Mom and re-arrange my room. I got some great wall hangings from Beth and Cooper that I need to finish putting up too.

I like it! You think the world is ready for me? I don't think they're going to know what hit them!
