Markus’s birthday
Okay so birthdays are fun. Or at least that's What Markus thought. Truth be told Carl never did much for his birthday. Mainly because Markus didn't really know how to celebrate it.
Yet, now he did know...and well he didn't have many people to celebrate it with. This year was the first year since the androids have been freed. So he figured he should learn about what to do when your free. One thing he found out free people do all the time is parties for some reason. Mainly birthday parties for some reason he couldn't see to Nd estrange, yet it had something to do with the fact he only asked Alice who lived as a free human for years, who still has the mind of a child.
Despite this he decided he would have a birthday party. So first things first, he selected a birthday since he couldn't remember when he had been created. Sure he knew when his model was made, but he didn't know when he was made. So he picked the date that meant the most to him, Carl's birthday, the day he had been given to the man who changed his life.
So with that under wraps he got to work preparing everything he could. He ended up buying a few books about party planning (for kids) and found out everything he needed to do. He knew he had to make a cake, decorate an party room, buy snacks, have party games and invite his friend. So that's exactly what he did.
Yet, he didn't have a plan for if everyone was busy.
You see he got calls the night saying everyone was busy. Kara was still in Canada and Alice has a recital that day. As for Simmon, he was busy volunteering that day at a homeless shelter. North was busy that day with volunteer work at a women's shelter as well. Everyone was busy, but he couldn't cancel now.
He had everything ready. He had a part room reneged and everything ready. So why not just have a party for one? You know have the most amount of fun by yourself while you could. After all he could try again next year if he really wanted to. So he deep down had prepared himself for parting alone.
What he hadn't prepared for was Connor crashing the party with a whole bottle of booze he stole from Hank for them and some gifts. He hadn't prepared to down wine witha Connor that whole night. He hadn't prepared for Connor to get drunk enough to get a donkeys tail stuck in his arm while being strangled by streamers. He also hadn't excepted to watch Connor sing heavy metal drunkenly while using a fork for a microphone. You know until he fell into pain the tail on the donkey.
So needless to say he was question life right now as Connor's wiring was getting fixed up. Yet as he began to question everything one thing stuck out in his mind.
Next year, he was gonna leave the party planning to Connor. That way they would definitely have a lot of fun. Yet, knowing Connor, someone would end up in the hospital or getting repaired again.
