"This is insane." Brick said, without looking up.

"It's his birthday." Bubbles said.

"Bubbles, Boomer hates everything." Buttercup said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"No, he doesn't. Boomer loves . . . cookies?" Bubbles asked herself.

"He can't eat anything from animals, remember? I even remembered that." Butch said as he looked around the table for something to eat.

"That's because for some reason, you're smart Butch." Buttercup said.

Blossom sighed, "How did you even know it's his birthday today?"

"I might have took a peek at student records." Bubbles said with her face redden.

"What? How?" Butch asked.

"I work in the office. I can look student records when it's really important." Bubbles said. "And this is really important."

"Birthdays are over rated." Brick said as he finally looked up.

Blossom looked at Brick with 'are you serious look' and shook her head. Brick smiled before looking back down at his sketchbook. Bubbles sighed as she held onto a card that she made for Boomer last night. The teens have no idea if Boomer is even here today. They haven't seen him all day. 

Buttercup opened her juice and looked at the doors. She saw Boomer walking in, looking down at his textbook. Butch smiled as he threw his arms in the air, ready to shout 'Happy Birthday!' but Brick and Blossom slapped their hands over his mouth. Butch looked between them with confusion then sighed. Bubbles put the card on her lap.

Boomer flipped the page, but stop to stare at his hand. A dark patch on his hand, making him sad. He always hated that about his skin. He always hated having vitiligo. Boomer was born with it and no matter what, he can't get rid of it. And he has tried very hard. He rolled his eyes and made his way the table.

His blue eyes looked at the teens. Buttercup is drinking her juice nervously. Bubbles isn't even looking at him but her face is bright red. Brick and Blossom both have their hands over Butch's mouth, who arms are still in the air. Boomer raised his eyebrow as he sat down.

He closed the book and slide it in the middle. Boomer waited for them to say something. He waited for them to actually be normal again. He look towards Bubbles with a small smile. He hopes that they didn't found out that it's his birthday today. He always hated his birthday. Boomer never found a need to celebrate it. He had no reason for it. Boomer just was born not worth anything celebrating.

After all, he knows that he is a vegan protesting hippie that no one likes. Boomer knows that he doesn't know how to hold his tongue. He says whatever is on his mind.

"Okay, what's going on?" Boomer asked. "You guys are acting stranger than usual. It's creeping me out."

Butch did jazz hands. 

"Okay, never mind. Butch is acting normal." Boomer said with a shrug.

"We know what today is." Blossom said, nervous.

"Yeah, December 12th. What's so special about it? It's just another normal day." Boomer said, narrowing his eyes.

"Besides that." Buttercup said.

"Don't know what you guys are talking about but I'm going to get some lunch." Boomer said, getting up.

"It's only meatloaf." Brick said quickly.

"Damn it." Boomer muttered.

"He said a bad word!" Butch exclaimed in the red heads hands.

Boomer rolled his eyes and grabbed the book but Bubbles grabbed his wrist. Boomer look over with red face. She smiled at him as she passed him the card. Boomer gulped. They know! He screamed in his head, how could they know? It's impossible, he doesn't even tell people when it's his birthday. 

"Happy birthday, Boomie." Bubbles said.

Boomer shook his head, "It's not my birthday."

"Liar." Butch said. "Bubbles took a look at your student record."

"What!" Boomer exclaimed. "I didn't mean to punch Mitch. He insulted the whales, I couldn't stand by. So I did what I thought was right. I still think it is right, by the way." 

"You punched Mitch?" Buttercup asked.

"I'm guessing that you guys never knew about that, huh?" Boomer asked.

"Dude, that's so wicked! How come you never told us?" Butch asked with a large smile. "I never knew that you could punch someone. It doesn't seem like you would do that. But I guess no one makes fun of a protesting hippie cause huh?"

Boomer sighed as he smacked his forehead. He couldn't believe he just said how he got here. He is so stupid. Boomer looked back at Bubbles, wondering if she hates him now. He didn't want that. Boomer came to term that he might care about Bubbles more than a friend way. He just didn't know how she would feel.

Bubbles smiled as she nodded to the card. Boomer chewed on his bottom lip as he opened it. He noticed the card is shape of a cake. He smiled but it dropped as soon he saw the words. His brain went into mode where it mixes the letters up. Boomer groaned but Bubbles patted his back. He looked at her, she nodded as if to tell him that he got it. Boomer look back down at the words, ready to read them.

Boomer,

So I may have broken into school records just to find out more of you. Kinda creepy, right?  I already know the answer. But I just wanted to know more about you so I went stalker mode. No wonder Buttercup finds Butch asking that so strange. I know that's it difficult to let people know you have a learning disability, well I imagine it is. You should know that I will always have you back no matter what. I really do care about you. That is sometimes make me worried for my mental health. But I hope that this makes up for my creepy breaking into your school records. 

Love,

Bubbles 

 Boomer had to read everything again, to make sure that he read everything right. Every now and then the letters would swap but his eyes focus on one sentence. Bubbles really cares about him. He look back at Bubbles with a large smile.

"Thanks." Boomer whispered.

"Now can I do jazz hands? I have a battle cry and everything." Butch said.

"Go ahead, nut case." Buttercup said.

Butch smirked as he jumped on the table. He shook his hands as he sang Happy Birthday way off key but Boomer couldn't help but to smile. Boomer still hates his birthday, no doubt, but he couldn't help but feel happy that he has friends now. Especially Bubbles. Boomer look back at Bubbles who smiled as she wrapped her arms around his left arm. She leaned her head against his shoulder.

"I really care about you too." Boomer whispered but Bubbles didn't hear him.

Or he thought she didn't.
