Moor: They're coming. Spade, are you ready?

Spade: I have to be ready.

Admin Yvaine: Hello, hello! I heard you're ready to give up that man you've been attempting to hide from us?

Moor: He's right here. There's no way you're here alone, are you?

Admin Yvaine: I brought my Pokemon. That's enough to keep me safe.

Spade: Where's Lucario?

Admin Yvaine: Not with me, obviously. That'd be stupid of me.

Spade: What was stupid was entering my gym and attempting to destory my mech suit.

Admin Yvaine: Don't you know how noisy that thing was? How loud that entire town is?

Spade: That's my home town you're talking about.

Admin Yvaine: Speaking of noise, that's enough chatter. Come along peacfully, or me and my team will take you by force.

Spade: Let me offer you a bet. If you can beat me in a battle without my ace, you can take me. If I win, you have to leave me and the daycare alone.

Admin Yvaine: Hah! Just want to delay your doom by a few minutes? Fine by me!

Moor: Spade has something he wants to tell us.

Spade: ... Yeah, I figured it was time.

You all know about the Team Harmonic Grunts coming in and stuff, wanting to meet with me. I think by now you all know I used to be the steel type gym leader before Valarie. Most of you weren't in Silonus before then, so it makes sense you didn't know. I don't talk about it much now.

So, I used to run the steel type gym in Acoustic Town. Town of festivals and all - those people loved a spectical. Right now, I think they have a sort of wrestling theme going on? I don't actually know. I had a mech theme, kind of. Trainers would fight through the gym in videogame style levels, then they'd get to me - only I'd be wearing this giant, sick-ass mech suit.

Trainers loved it. Team Harmonic didn't, I guess. One group of grunts broke into my gym one evening. I guess they didn't know I'd be inside the suit... they started to smash it up, breaking apart the suit I made with my own two hands... while I was inside it. I didn't mean to... I didn't even want to hurt them. I just wanted to get them away from the suit, but they must have broken some of the controls because when I moved the arm, those grunts went flying into the wall.

Most of them were just badly injured, but one... didn't make it. The court ruled it as not my fault, since I plead that they broke the machine and made it do that, I got off scott free. Team Harmonic didn't like that. Now, they're coming after the Daycare since I work here now.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you all sooner. I should have... I don't know how I could have brought it up. I'm just so sorry.

Moor: Thank you for telling us. Everyone else, thank you for listening. You're dismissed to return to work. If you want to speak to me privately, feel free to do so later today. I have some buisnisses to attend to.

My, my, how the king has fallen.

[Recorded by Slowking AND UPLODADED BY ROTOM!]

[4:55 pm]

Aster: Hey, Dune?

Dune: Yes?

Aster: You're not busy, are you?

Dune: I am.

Aster: Oh.

Dune: Finishing up paperwork for the day. What do you want?

Aster: I wanted to, uh, apologize? You didn't seem all that happy with the birthday thing this morning.

Dune: It was thoughtful.

Aster: Really? I mean, yeah, it was thoughtful. But did you enjoy it?

Dune: That's... I- well...

Aster: No, you didn't.

Dune: I didn't say that. It's complicated. I... appriciate that you thought of me. That you planned it, got everyone in early. You baked bread for me.

Aster: Yeah, but?

Dune: I have a complicated relationship with my birthday.

Aster: Well, I had a... proposal of sorts for you.

Dune: Yeah?

Aster: Go out for drinks with me? Let's say... first three rounds are on me.

Dune: You're serious?

Aster: I figured you might be the kind of guy to enjoy a drink, you know? What do you say?

Dune: ... Yes.

Aster: Really?!

Dune: It's- It's not a date, is it?

Aster: Oh, I don't do romance. Nothing like that. Just me and you, getting drunk.

Dune: I see. Where's the bar at?

Aster: We've got two options. One in Sound City, a small karaoke bar, and one in Silence City, but it gets kind of crowded. They're both the same distance from here.

Dune: Which one do you want to go to?

Aster: I don't have a preference.

Dune: No?

Aster: I want to drink with you, doesn't matter where

Dune: I see.

Aster: Well?

Dune: The karaoke bar.

Aster: Really?

Dune: Yeah. Why not?

Aster: I- I mean yeah. Sounds good.

Dune: I've got to finish this up still. Feel free to grab your things from the locker room first.

Aster: I'll just wait for you, we can walk together.

Dune: ... Together. Yeah.

[Time: 6:30 AM]

Moor: Come on, guys, wake up a bit more, I've got the pot on for you. Drink some coffee, look happy to be here.

Park: I woke up at 5 AM to be here on time, cut me some slack.

Copper: Five?!? I woke up at 4 so I could still get my make up on in time!!

Willow: You guys got sleep last night?

Aster: By the time be gets here you better all be wide awake. This should be perfect for him!

Fox: Please let me stand at the back. If he starts yelling I'm going to need to leave.

Moor: He's not going to yell, alright? He's going to like it, or at the very least quietly pretend to not like it.

Montague: Do you do this for everyone's birthdays? It seems a bit much. In a good way.

Moor: No, Aster actually planned this just for Dune.

Aster: He deserved a little cheer! A little happy birthday!

Nitara: How on earth did you find out what kind of cake he liked?

Aster: I had Rotom look it up first, and then when that didn't work, I asked him.

Copper: And what did he say?

Aster: He said, 'I don't like cake. Don't buy me cake. But... I do like oran berry bread.' So i made him homemade oran berry bread!

Seren: Homemade? I knew you were a Pokemon chef, but...

Aster: I love cooking and baking! It's just that when I'm here, I'm mostly cooking for the Pokemon.

Willow: Your Sandslash is chewing on the decorations.

Aster: What? GEM NO-

[Time: 6:55]

Moor: Is everyone feeling more awake now? Hopefully?

Willow: Awake as I ever am. Wouldn't you know about that, Aster?

Aster: I've said I'm sorry a million times, I thought you were a ghost for real! Anyway...

Fox: Shit, he's walking up here! Everybody get ready!!

-----

Everyone is gathered in the front entrance of the building, the Pokecenter section. Some people hide behind the counter, others hide against the wall. The lights are out and it's dark. Dune opens the door.

-----

Everyone: Surprise!!!

🎶Happy birthday to you,🎶

🎶Happy birthday to you,🎶

🎶Happy birthday, dear (Dune/Ace Trainer/Ground Guy)🎶

🎶Happy birthday to you!🎶

Aster: Blow out the candles!

-----

Dune stares at the group for a moment. He's not smiling, but he's not frowning either. Aster shifts on his feet - his arms are at an awkward upward angle in order to present him the bread with candles stuffed into the top. Moor toys with the hem of her cardigan and Copper holds her hand. Fox starts shuffling towards the back exit.

Dune blows out the candles, and everyone cheers, though a bit muted about it.

-----

Aster: You say you like oran berry bread so I baked some myself! I hope you like it.

Dune: Don't we have work to get to?

Moor: We can all celebrate your birthday really quick this morning, don't you think? Right, Seren?

Seren: I've fixed everyone's daily schedule to include 30 minutes of birthday time.

Dune: ...Fine.

[Transcript of last nights conversation between Aster and Willow. Recorded by Slowking, uploaded by Porygon.]

Moor: Aster, you do need to apologize.

Aster: I know, I know... I'm sorry, Willow. I shouldn't have beeb stalking you like that.

Willow: You were very obvious and clumsy about it, so I forgive you.

Moor: Shit, I'm getting paged. Fox needs me at the front, I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere, either of you.

Aster: I really am sorry.

Willow: I hard you the first time.

Aster: I wanted to make sure you knew it wasn't just because Moor was there.

Willow: Understandable.

Aster: Are you ok, though?

Willow: I've forgiven you, if that's what you mean.

Aster: No, no. You just... You don't talk to anyone at work, and I've never heard you talk about friends or family outside of work. You never come with me or the others when we're going out on Friday nights, and I've heard then nught shift with you is... Not the easiest. You just... never talk to anyone.

Willow: I don't want to talk to anyone. I'm just a quiet person.

Aster: Oh. You don't want to talk with literally anyone?

Willow: I prefer to be alone.

Aster: All the time?

Willow: Yes.

Aster: Oh. Ok. I'm sorry, again.

Willow: It's fine.
