WHO: Anyone who cares to come along/knows Ikki, it can be assumed there was some sort of journal invitation earlier that we just DIDN'T DO. And anyone who passes by the house and wants to know what's up, why not.
WHAT: Ikki's really belated eighth birthday party now that her entire family is back in the vicinity and more or less Okay with one another (and also all her missioned friends HI GUYS) and everyone you know...remembers one another. Awkward.
WHEN: Sunday, September 1st.
WHERE: House 56.
SUMMARY: Takes place at the ~new and improved~ Avatar house (or the outside of it, anyway). There are airbenders and cake, what more could you want.
RATING: I seriously doubt this will broach PG BUT WE'LL LET YOU KNOW?

So while there was a party thrown by Tenten and Naruto during the event for Ikki's eighth birthday party, pretty much no one in her actual family was there or remembered it was a thing (person or animal), nor did a lot of her friends. And now that everyone does remember, it's time to actually have a sort of celebration with, you know, memories! While a secret invasion isn't occurring (...probably, as far as they know, although the chance is always there but that aside)!

Since Aang and Ikki were probably pretty prominent in setting up, there are likely a lot of balloons and streamers, and most of the Avatar menagerie probably have bows or ribbons. The party is taking place in the backyard, where the animals (Appa included) can fit and join in. There's notably a trampoline in the backyard still, in addition to everything mentioned up in the wikipedia link - and a pool, if you want to go swimming.

Beyond that, there's also probably music and dancing, so it is pretty much your typical party, with a lot of animals thrown in for good measure because that's just how they roll.

So stop by and HAVE FUN. FEEL FREE AND ENCOURAGED to just throw up your character at the party anywhere, as per always, since the only topic thread Lucy is even sort of bothering with is a present table this time.

Rapunzel gave you the recipe? Oh, wow! She's a really good cook.

And I really like tea! So I'll try that!! [ Which might be odd for a child her age...until one realizes the culture and world she came from. ]

Yes, she gave me the recipe on our first meeting. That is how I knew her when I met with you, Lee-san and Rapunzel-san for the flight training.

[And liking tea is okay in Hinata's book, since she's been around tea her entire life. Hasn't everyone?]

I am glad. Please, enjoy them and Happy Belated Birthday.

I will!!! Thank you a lot, Hinata!

...When's your birthday, by the way?

My birthday is December 27th. I will be seventeen.

Are you going to have a party??? That's REALLY soon!

[No? No parties! Hinata doesn't want to be the center of attention, ever. Nope.]

I...I do not know. My last birthday was very quiet back home.

What'd you do for it?

My former sensei made me a small cake and my teammates gave me gifts. It was...quiet.

That's...Kurenai, right?

[ #Lee has a big mouth. ]

Y-yes, Kurenai-sensei... [She misses her former teacher so much that it's strange to think that she can't just go see her when she wants like before the war started.

# kinda old news. <3]

Maybe she'll show up for your birthday?

As nice as that would be, I believe that her place is with her child, Ikki-san. It would be cruel otherwise.

Ohh....I didn't know she had a child. How old is he? She?

He...was less than a month old before the war started back home.

That's really small...like Rohan.

Yes, her son is very young. So...it is best for Kurenai-sensei to stay home in my opinion. It would be sad otherwise.

If that's the case...

...I hope everyone here can come and wish you a happy birthday on your birthday, at least.

[Hinata gives the small girl a soft and sweet smile.] I would like that very much, but my birthday seems to happen after something called Christmas. I heard others talking about it, but I have no idea what it entails. Do you?

Yeah! I was here for one last year. It's a holiday on the twenty-fifth where people give other people presents. You wrap them up and put them under a tree!! The night before...on the twenty-fourth. And then in the morning on the twenty-fifth you all open them. And also you eat cookies, and also get to drink milk.

That sounds...like a lot of fun. I am looking forward to it then.

Yep!! It really will be. ...Oh, and I guess I should let you go now. Kushina said I have to be sure to talk to everyone.

Yes, it is best to speak with everyone here. I have to go now, but I look forward to seeing you again. Happy Birthday, Ikki-san.

Later, Hinata!!!

[ and with that, she's off. ]
