So... I didn't notice the exact date that it happened, but I feel like I should let everyone know, for the sake of not keeping secrets, that I'm apparently listed as having just turned twelve years old.

[ She's not surprised. Obviously, she's been getting older. Taller, among other signs of growing the past year she's been here. ]

I've been here a year and I wasn't even sure how to count my own age, so I suppose it was decided that this was a convenient way to count. I'm glad to... have been here, for the past year. For the longest period of time that I've ever been awake in my life, at least that I can remember. Even with all the people I've met that have left, even if everyone I know is changed out for new people... some of those new people will still be friends, it seems.

[ It's a strange feeling. It's a bit unsteady, to rotate parental figures in and out, but the fact that they actually care about her wellbeing in such a short time is so infinitely better than what she had back home that it's... fine. ]

I don't need a party, or gifts, but I won't fight anyone to get them not to, now that you all know that I'm a year older, either. I just wanted to say that I appreciate everyone... everything... even this train that we're all riding and trying to figure things out with. That's all.

Um, well, I'll ask miss Della about a party-- she seems rather.. enthusiastic. [ But then again, doesn't Della always seem like that, huh.

Still, if Ple Two wants a party, then Madoka isn't one to deny her it. Not when the other has always had so very little. It's just that she might need a little help, considering organising anything by yourself is pretty overwhelming at Madoka's age. ]

But.. still, if you want to have both, you can have both! It's important to me that you have a great birthday.. Even if it's a little belated.

Della is too sweet. I can't just say no to her as long as I can convince her to go easy on me.

[ It'll be fun. It's fine. ]

I'd be happy to have anything, Madoka.

[happyends]

[ Please, Ple Two. As if Della would ever go easy on anything. That duck has a supplex hold on life and she is never letting go. ]

She is really powerful.. [ Della, that is. ] But as long as that means she's doing nice things for you, then I'm really glad for it..!

[pleple]

Mm... I'm glad to have someone like her around.

[ Everything's better when a mom shows up. ]

[happyends]

And I'm also glad you have someone like that around.

[ Not that Madoka isn't glad for Della. She thinks Della is great.

But Madoka has definitely experienced what it's like to have parental figures around - while that's still more unique for Ple Two.

.. well, when it comes to actually good parental figures, anyway. ]

Make sure to let her spoil you! [ Especially for her birthday! ]

[pleple]

I... I will, I will.

[ Before that, there was Nerdanel. Other parental figures. She's had a lot of them, just coming and going on occasion. ]
