The alarm clock rings and Dahlia gets awake. She rubs her eyes with her hands and yawns. She goes to the bathroom and brushes her teeth. After she finishes, she comes and picks up a mint she sees on her table. "This will do!", she opens it and throws the gum into her mouth. She now leaves her room to head towards her parents room. She knocks at the door but doesn't get any replies. "This is strange!", she thinks. She thinks about opening the door and tries to do it. Something else pops into her mind. "What if I open the door and see something funny", she asks herself. She rests her ear on the door and feels she heard nothing. After much hesitation, she decides to open the door and sees no one inside. Dahlia can't believe her eyes. "But I'm always the one waking these guys up everyday", she searches the room. After seeing no one still, she decides to go down the stairs. She goes down the stairs soliloquizing;"Where could this be? They woke up pretty early...." She has descended the stairs. "Surprise!", her parents cut in, hopping out of nowhere. They go to meet her. They start chanting a birthday song to her. Dahlia gets shocked and remembers today's her birthday. She smiles at her parents as they continue chanting the birthday song. "So, I was so busy that I forget my birthday", she thinks. "Now, come and make a wish and cut the cake", her Mum tells her as everyone goes to the dining room. They now stay in front of the cake. "Come on! Make a wish!", says the Dad. Dahlia closes her eyes and wishes in her mind;"I want us, the C.A.N.D.Y fighters to save the citizens from this current disaster." She opens her eyes and blows out the candle lights. Her parents clap and chant the birthday song again. "We've bought you some presents", her Mum tells her. Dahlia leaps for joy;"Where're they?" "No! No! You can't see them now. You'll see them when night comes", Dad answers. "But you always come back home by 10 Dad!", she grumbles. Her Dad squats down to talk to her and cheer her up;"Don't worry! You're gonna go out with your friends and come back by 10 to see your gifts. I know it's the boredom you're afraid of", Dad cheers her up. Dahlia becomes happy at the news and hugs her Dad. The Mum now joins them. * * * Dahlia's alone at home. Her parents are gone to work. She hears the doorbell and runs down the stairs, towards the door to see who's it. She opens the door and gets delighted as she sees her friends. She welcomes them in. When they get in, they start singing her a birthday song. Carlos is holding a present and gives it to Dahlia after they finish singing the birthday song. "This is from all of us. We combined our money to get you this" he says. She opens the gift immediately and beholds a laptop. Dahlia starts jumping and shouting happily. "We chose to buy you a new laptop because we knew the old one got spoilt", Amelia explains. "Thanks guys!", Dahlia appreciates. "We're gonna celebrate it this evening", Yanking tells her. "Of course we will!", she replies. Everybody's happy. They play round the house, chasing each other. They also play TV games and tell stories, entertaining each other. They're in the lab of C.A.N.D.Y house. Yanking's observing his watch thoroughly. He then walks up to Smith. "Why are our watches different when in "hero mode" in appearance?", Yanking asks. Smith stops with what he's experimenting on and looks at him with a bad look, folding his hands. Yanking sees this and explains why he asked the question. "What? It's just that I prefer the looks of our watches in "hero mode" to the way they're now", he says. "Do you want people to find out you guys are the C.A.N.D.Y fighters?", Smith asks still folding his hands. "Oh! Now, I get it!", Yanking now gets the point. Smith shakes his head feeling disappointed. The boss now enters and everyone goes to greet and welcome him. "Happy Birthday, Dahlia!", he wishes her. "Thanks boss!", she replies feeling happy. "I'm so sorry! It was not long ago I realized today's your birthday. That's why I'm not with any gifts", he apologises to her. "No worries boss! After all, I also forgot my birthday. It was my parents that reminded me of it with a surprise", she chuckles. The rest laugh too. * * * Dr Williams is in his underground lab. He's looking at the tank blood is being accumulated. The tank is a very gigantic one. The blood from the first 100 people is still at the base of the tank. "Well.... At least I've gotten some blood", he says to himself smiling. He now turns and sees the 100 people whose blood has been sucked off laying at the other side, dead. He laughs. "This is how you guys will end up", he tells the others pointing at the dead bodies. He laughs again. Dr Williams walks up to the dead bodies. "I think I should make the city experience a little terror", he smirks. He now brings out a remote from his lab coat's pocket. It presses the only button on it and a portal opens. The bodies now fall inside it. He closes the portal by pressing the button again. "I hope the city will love the surprise I just sent to them", he jokes and laughs.
