Happy Birthday to You...
Who: The Everdeen sisters and whoever knows them (plus dates, if applicable)
What: Belated birthday party for Prim.
When: Starting Saturday evening (6/8), around 5 PM.
Where: House 43
Summary: Thanks to the spirit possessions, Katniss cancelled the original party she had planned. Time for Surprise Party #2!
Rating: PG/PG-13 if any fights break out?
She had gotten up early to make certain everything was perfect. Double checked that all the bedroom locks worked, moved all of the valuables out of the living area and into Sharpe's bedroom. And then she cleaned the house more thoroughly than she had in a long, long time.
Hours later, with Aang's help, everything seemed perfect. The inside of the house was decorated with crepe streamers. Though there was an emphasis on blue, she made certain to alternate with other colors: whites and greens and purples and reds. Balloons floated along the ceiling, interspersed among strings of twinkling lights. A huge banner reading "Happy Birthday Primrose!" hung across the space between living room and kitchen.
Food covered every available surface, bowls and plates and bowls of punch and other drinks resting on top of blue paper table cloths. Peppermints and chocolates and other sweets covered the dining room table, with a two-tiered cake in the center. It had been pushed against one of the walls to make space for dancing and talking. In the kitchen, various dinners - stews and roasted meats and an assortment of vegetables and starches - covered the counters. Snack type foods were scattered both inside and out, a mix of cheeses and crackers, vegetables and fruits.
Extra chairs surrounded a table in the backyard, which had been equally decorated. Balloons were tied to chairs and a mixture of streamers and lights hung over any tree branches that crossed into the yard. In one corner, a goat stood tied up to a poll with a pink bow around her neck. Space had been provided for a D.J. table if Teddy or Sabriel grew tired of playing.
Everything seemed perfect. She only hoped that Prim would love it, too.

WHERE DID THIS NOTIF EVEN GO
And now this, a goat. She's flashing back to the birthday Katniss brought home Lady, although that goat had been hurt and in need of care and this one looks healthy. Mildly annoyed by the loud festivities, perhaps, but mostly content with some grass to chew on and a corner all to her own.
Whatever reaction Katniss was expecting, she probably gets it. Prim gasps all at once, her hands going to her mouth before she went forward, automatically going to check the goat over - the goat glanced at her but didn't protest - even as laughter burbled up in her throat, and her eyes stung with tears.
Her sister had gotten her a goat. ]
Oh, Katniss...! She's lovely.
[ She knows enough about goats to know the sex from a quick examination. ]
I DO NOT KNOW
These were questions she shouldn't ask. Shouldn't dwell on. Not when she should just be grateful that Prim was here right now. She was examining her goat as she had Lady when Katniss had brought her home what seemed like forever ago. She should be so, so grateful.]
I'm glad you think so.
[She would not cry. She would not cry.]
NOWHERE.
Of course I do.
[ And while she's been holding onto the goat, Prim lets go of the lady goat to go over to Katniss, throwing her arms around her sister. ]
Thank you.
