Parappa woke up to loud banging on his door, he assumed his dad would have gone to answer it but was met with an 'okay probably not' since the banging continued, annoyed at the fact it was only 7am on a Saturday, he soon got up and slipped on some white fluffy slippers and announced to the person, or people, at the door that he's coming. He practically leaped over every stair to get to the door and turned the key as quickly as he could, he turned the doorknob to reveal a tall lanky figure staring right back down at him, he rubbed his eyes to focus them onto the person, it was not a person, it was in fact Katy Kat! He smiled a bit at his friend before Katy spoke, "Parappa!!! I've been knocking for ages!! It doesn't matter. It's your birthday, i wanted to drop by and wish you a happy birthday!" She announced so triumphantly, despite the fact Parappa didn't mind mornings, it felt a little too early for this and so he yawned and looked back up at the smiling blue cat before replying with a "Thanks, Katy, i'm just really tired, could you have not done this later?" Parappa said that with good intention but since Katy didn't always understand tone so well she thought Parappa was being sarcastic and so she tried to mimic her interpretation of it. "Well jeez Parappa! If you didn't want to be waken by one of your friends wishing you a happy birthday you could have told me beforehand!" She spoke before putting her hands on her hips and frowning, but after a second of realising how off putting she sounded she returned back to her normal stance and reached into her pocket. "Okay, sorry, that didn't sound exactly as i was intending it to sound, but I brought you some special coupons for free ice cream at the local store, i also wanted to ask if you could invite some people round for a birthday get-to-together! Up to you, I just thought it would be so fun to spend your birthday with everyone at yours." Katy handed Parappa a wrinkled up coupon before looking back at something and then back at Parappa. "I have to go, drop me a text if you decide on something! Cya!" She vanished just before finishing that sentence leaving a tired Parappa standing there like a statue, after catching up on everything Katy just said, he thought about that idea of all his friends coming over for a cool party, but he'd have to ask his dad first at least.


Parappa turned back and closed the door behind him, he was met by an angry looking face staring up at him. "Parappa! You can't have a party here if dad doesn't know!" It was Pinto and she didn't look very impressed. "W-what where have you been this whole time?" Pinto put her hands on her hips, the same way Katy just did. "Dad dropped me off quickly through the back door so I could give you your birthday card, we're going camping remember? But you didn't want to come but dad couldn't cancel it so we're going without you." Pinto described that like Parappa had brain-loss or something, and which he didn't but that explanation did help him remind him of why no one answered the door. "Oh, yeah. I'm not gonna have a party without dad knowing, don't worry." He patted his little sisters head and walked towards the kitchen to prepare himself a glass of milk, Pinto followed suspiciously behind him and tried to figure out his facial expression and what he just said to find flaws to rat him out. Parappa noticed her examination and wanted to reasure her. "I promise I won't have a party or a secret one, i'm too tired for that." He picked up his glass and sipped the milk, he thought about having one though and how fun it might be! Maybe lying to your younger sister isn't that bad if its for the sake of your own happiness. His thoughts were interrupted as Pinto put down a card onto the table and trotted towards the door again. "I believe you. Here's your birthday card." She waved and exited again through the back door, Parappa waved back still holding his glass of milk, but Pinto already made her way out by the time he got to return the wave. He stood with his own thoughts going through his head, would he really break his sisters trust and have an amazing party with his friends? Yes. Yes he would, he did feel off about it at first but since they were his friends it's not like anything would go weird, he finished his milk and checked the time. It was only 32 minutes past 8. He decided to get back on his well deserved sleep, he locked both doors and walked up the stairs back to his room. He placed himself onto his bed and stretched effortlessly, he layed down and pulled a blanket over him, enjoying the lovely comfort of his bed he very quickly fell back to his slumber.


BZZT. BZZT. BZZT. BZZT.

There was a loud buzzing sound, vibrating the bedside table next to Parappa. He opened his eyes and turned over to it, lifting his head up he realised it was his phone. He turned it on to reveal several messages from someone. He checked the time too while he was at it. Nearly 1pm, wow he slept for ages he thought to himself. He sat up and unlocked his phone and opened the messages app.

Reading all these at once took Parappa some time to realise what was going on, he reread them a few times before then fully taking focus that people were coming HERE in no less than a few minutes. He panicked and threw his phone onto his bed and rummaged through his clothes to throw on so it didn't look like he was just asleep... which he was.. and which Katy probably knew. Nevertheless he just wanted to look less tired, even if he wasn't now, as soon as he had gotten changed as quickly as one could he heard the knock and bolted down, kind of like earlier but this time there was more of a chance of him tripping because of his carelessness and need to answer the door. He messed with the keys to again unlock the door. Yet again met by the tall blue feline looking down at him, this time she was with the expected bunch, PJ, Matt, and of course the lovely Sunny Funny and her sweet smile. "Hey guys." Parappa smiled. "Hi again Parappa, sorry we came without proper warning!" Katy scratched the back of her head and looked at everyone else, so did Parappa, there was PJ, looking very PJ-like, Sunny, who was wearing a lovely blue and green spotty dress instead of her usual red and blue stripey one, and Matt, who looked almost nervous, he had a large in his hands, no one else had a box in their hands apart from small carrier bags, so it was kind of odd, Parappa brushed it off and Katy spoke again. "So, happy birthday!" She grinned and everyone else repeated after her, Parappa stood back to let everyone make their way in, he watched them all walk in and stand around as he shut the door behind him. "I brought party games!" Sunny excitingly spoke as she wandered around the room, getting stuff out of her ,very tiny, purse, she held the board games, waiting to place them down. PJ held out a carrier bag to Parappa, to which he was met with, plenty of donuts, such as really pink, probably strawberry ones with tons of pink, purple and blue sprinkles to really bland probably tasteless, plain donuts, he took the bag and smiled at him, then realising he hasn't eaten yet so maybe he could order them all a pizza. Before coming up with that suggestion though Katy spoke. "We got you a birthday cake too! It should be ready soon so I can go pick it up." She looked around the room and then continued her sentence. "Where's Pinto and your dad by the way?" "They went camping. Din' wanna go so I've got the house to myself all night." Parappa shrugged and remembered that he promised Pinto he wouldn't have people over. Oh well again. Too late. "Should i order us a pizza, i'm kinda hungry." Immediately everyone nodded and agreed like they'd also have not had breakfast or lunch yet.
