He woke with a jolt, the sun already streaming through the window. "Today!" he exclaimed, his voice ringing with a strange quality. It was a day for celebration, for laughter, and, hopefully, for cake. His best friend, Chloe, and his sister, Sam, shared the same birthday.

He grabbed his phone, already composing a text to his friends. "Get ready!" he typed, a grin spreading across his face. He jumped out of bed, grabbed some clothes, and ran out the door, ready to start the day.

He spent the day rushing between tasks. He had one party to get to in the afternoon, and another in the evening. He was going to spend the whole day in celebration.
