Happy birthday, Percy!

We'll see you both at dinner tonight, won't we?

Oh. Oh, um...no, as a matter of fact, Mum. Penny and I were planning on a quiet evening, just the two of us. I'm sure you understand.

[alt_molly]

Oh, but--

I was planning on making all your favourite things!

[alt_percy]

Well, that's exactly what Penny had in mind. You see?

I'm sorry, Mum, I just didn't think you'd expect us tonight. I assumed that since we'd be coming over Sunday night as usual, we'd just, well, have the family celebration then.

[alt_molly]

Oh. Oh, I see. I'm sorry, dear; I just made an assumption, and it was an assumption, I see that now.

Well, I'll simply make your cake Sunday instead of this afternoon.

Happy birthday, and I'll look forward to seeing you then, my boy. Unless you can meet me for lunch before then?

[alt_percy]

I think it's unlikely, Dad. I had to turn Bill down today, as I had too much to do. But yes, Penny and I will see you Sunday.

Hey, if we have four more days to work on your present, it'll be extra special. Something really explosive!

[alt_percy]

Ha, ha. I can hardly wait.

Sorry it didn't work out, but we'll get lunch sometime next week for sure, even if it doesn't work out for this week. Happy birthday!
