No matter how overrated it sounds, turning sixteen is a special day in anybody's lives. It's a milestone of a day and it signifies the fact that you are almost on the verge of adulthood, but not quite there yet. It's a good day and it's always gonna be a good day. So when Aurelia wakes up, feeling an inexplicable sense of happiness, she knows it's the day. For a few moments, she doesn't move. She stays on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. 'I really can't believe I am sixteen now. I feel weirdly happy. Why do I feel weirdly happy? Maybe because it's my birthday. Shit, I'm really sixteen?!"

In a hurry to get up, Aurelia doesn't notice her feet entangled in the blankets and stumbles, hitting the floor next to her bed with a loud thud. "Ouch," She cries out in pain, but slowly her expression morphs into a smile. "I'm sixteen! Yes!"

Her bedroom door opens and Clara hobbles in (her ankle is still healing from their fight against the Doctor; healing broken bones with a spell can be dangerous. You don't want an extra bone growing, do you?) "Lia, did you just fall out of your bed?"

"I'm sixteen, Clara! I'm sixteen," Aurelia exclaims as she gets up from the floor, runs towards Clara and brings her into a hug. "I'm actually sixteen!"

Clara pats her back as she laughs lightly. "I know, darling. I know. Why do you think I've been up since seven? Come on outside, I'll give you your gifts."
