~3 days later in Middy's Perspective~

I woke up early the next morning so I can get ready for a special day. I stretched my arms and groaned. "Man, what a night." I looked down at my slumbering tiger girl and smiled. "Aww." I pet her head and I heard her purr. I kisses her lips as she was waking up.

She yawned just like a kitten and opened her eyes lightly. "Morning Middy."

"Morning kitty cat. Happy birthday." I smiled.

"Thank you love."

"So what do you wanna do today?"

"I don't know. I usually go to my forest, but I don't know."

"How about we go together?" I smiled.

"Well, okay." she smiled back.

"Okay. But first..." I said as I took out a box with pink gift wrapping. "Here you go babe. I made it for you."

"Aww, thanks babe." Aika smiled as she took her gift from my hands.

"Open it." I smiled.

"Okay." she said as she was opening it. I smiled as she opened my gift which was a homemade jewelry box.

(Aika's gift from Middy)

"Oh wow Middy, I love it!" she said in an excited mood.

"Anything for you my sakura mermaid princess." I smiled.

"You're the best!" she hugged me and nuzzled my cheek while she purred.

I chuckled and hugged her back. "Wasn't I always the best?"

"Yep. That's why I love you so much."

"Me too babe."

She giggled and licked the tip of my nose. I was enjoying the feeling of her tongue and I held her closer to my body. As I cuddled her, she sounded off her soft purrs just like a kitten. I got a chance to throw her off and kissed her lip, she ended up kissing me back and wrapped her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her waist and fell back as I dragged her on top of me. She puts her warm hands on my cheeks and purred in the kiss as she wagged her tail back and forth.

Aika smiled in the kiss and pulled back. "I love you so much." she said

"I love you so much too Aika." I said.

She giggled and got off of me. "Okay babe, let's go to the forest."

"Not yet babe." I said as I dragged her back into bed.

"Why?"

"I want you to close your eyes and say the word schmoopie."

"Huh? Umm, okay." she said as she closed her eyes. "Schmoopie."

"On a count of 3, open your eyes."

"Okay babe."

"1... 2... 3..."

~Aika's Perspective~

I opened my eyes and saw everyone in the room before me.

"Surprise!!!" everyone said and started singing the happy birthday song. I giggled and listened to them sing the song until the very end.

"Happy birthday baby girl." Middy smiled.

"This is great guys. You shouldn't have." I smiled.

"Blow out the candle Aika." Master Splinter said.

"Okay." I giggled and blew out the candle that was on my cake. Everyone cheered as I blew it out.

(Aika's birthday cake)

Middy chuckled and hugged me. "Did you make a wish?"

"Yeah."

"What did you wish for?" Mikey asked me.

"She can't tell us the wish, it'll be spoiled." Aqua said.

"Aww..." he bowed his head down.

"So Aika, what do you wanna do?"

"She wants to go to the forest." Middy said to Aqua.

"You should go alone together since you're lovers." Donnie said.

I blushed lightly. "B-But we can go later so we can spend some time together."

"But if you want to go now, it's okay. We don't mind." Leo said.

"Yeah, you're the birthday girl." Mikey said.

"You can do whatever you want for your birthday." Donnie said.

"We won't get in the way." Raph said.

"We'll be here. Oh, and I made you a gift baby sis." Aqua said as she brought out a canvas. She gave it to me and I looked at it to see that it was Middy and I kissing.

(Aqua's painting for Aika)

I giggled. "Aww, thanks big sis. I love it."

"I have a present for you too. It's something that you've always wanted." Mikey said as he gave me a gift that was gift wrapped in orange paper.

"I found some conch shells by the beach that you might like." Raph said as he gave them to me in a basket tied off with a red ribbon at the handle.

"I made you a pillow." Donnie said as he gave me a flower shaped pillow in his signature purple color.

"See? They all had presents for you." Middy said.

"Aww you guys, you didn't have to." I said.

"Come on now, it's your birthday. BTW, I got you a stuffed husky.

"I'm not telling you what I got you. It's a surprise." Mikey said.

"I have found one of my favorite things that my late wife has treasured. Here." Master Splinter gave me a sakura hair pin.

I gasped and took it, then put it on my hair. "It's beautiful Sensei! I love it." I hugged him. "Arigato. I'll wear it always and take really good care of it."

Master Splinter smiled and hugged him back. "You're welcome. I know you will."

"Now it's my turn." Leo said as he came to me and gave me a stuffed husky.

"Aww." Aqua giggled.

I took it and hugged it. "Thank you Leo, I love it. How did you know that I love huskies?"

"My future waifu told me." he said with a smile as his futureto-be-wife giggled.

I smiled and hugged my elder brother. "Thank you guys. This is a great start to my birthday."

"Anything for you sis. Happy birthday my little sister. Here's some breakfast that Mikey made for you." she said as Mikey came in with a birthday breakfast in bed.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Mikey said as he served it to me.

"The cake will be in the fridge in case you guys want some. We'll leave you guys alone. Come on guys, move it." Aqua said as she was leaving with everyone.

I giggled and opened Mikey's gift. "Oh wow! A melodica! I can't wait to play it."

(Mikey's present for Aika)

"Maybe you can play with it when we go to the forest." Middy said.

"Okay love, let's go."

"Okay." Middy said as he got out of bed, but he was in his black tight boxers.

'Oh my god~!' I thought to myself as I felt the blood go up to my cheeks and I was blushing hardcore. "L-Love... You're in y-your boxers."

"What?" Middy said as he looked down. "Ah!" he blushed and covered himself with our blanket. "S-Sorry, let me take a shower first." he blushed harder and ran away to the bathroom with the blanket as I heard laughter in the background. I laughed a lot, knowing that today was going to be a great birthday.
