(Takes place after Dumpling Destruction)

"So, did Pigsy say why he needed our help again?" Jiang asked as she walked along the sidewalk, hands buried in her jacket's pockets. "Not really" MK replied. Jiang had been walking around the city, helping anyone who needed it when MK came around, saying that Pigsy needed more hands at his shop, though for some reason, he had been a bit vague on the details.

So now, here they were, walking over to Pigsy's Noodles, talking about random things and occasionally having a good natured argument over some things. Eventually, the two got to the door that led into the shop. "I'm just saying, we shouldn't really be all that concerned about what happens in other countries - oh hold on a minute, why is it so dark in here?" Jiang said before noticing all the lights in the shop were off as she went in.

Then, all the lights flickered on as everyone jumped out of their hiding places. "Surprise!" They all called out. Jiang, who was dumbstruck for a moment, couldn't stop the smile that quickly took over her face as realization hit. "MK, you sneaky bastard" she said, looking over at her brother who had a sly smile on his face as he shrugged.

Mei jumped on the girl in a tight hug. "Happy Twentieth girl!" She cried. "Heh, thanks Mei" Jiang replied.

She ended up receiving a Happy Birthday greeting from everyone, plus some cards and a couple presents. Sandy had gotten her a couple of her favorite blends of tea, MK had gifted a couple of the latest Monkey related comics, and Mei had gotten her some awesome looking jewelry with the promise of getting their ears pierced. Then, it was time for the cake.

Jiang's favorite combination of chocolate and mint. "You guys didn't have to do this you know. Not that I mind it of course" Jiang said, resting her fork against her plate. "Oh, we know. And we also know that you don't exactly like your birthdays, for whatever unknown reason" Tang said.

"But, we still wanted to do something special for you. Especially after all that happened today" Sandy added. "Yeah. Besides, it's not everyday that you turn twenty" Mei told her. "Gee, thanks. Way to remind me that I'm getting older" Jiang commented, though her tone was playful.

"But, in all seriousness. Thank you. For doing this for me" she said. "Though, who's idea was it?" She asked. No one said anything, but everyone looked at Mei and MK.

"They had been whispering together all morning. It was about an hour before the giant dumpling hit when they told us their whole plan to surprise you today" Pigsy said from he was leaning against the counter. Both MK and Mei sent a bright smile at Jiang, who gave her own smile.

"Thanks again for this" she said. "We would do it again in a heartbeat Jiang. Your our girl" Mei told her. Jiang let out a small huff.

"You need to stop before I start tearing up here" she commented, making everyone laugh. That birthday was the best one she had in a while.
