Later on Aruna goes and tells her friends and Selene about the party, but only two of them were able to come. Those two felt like forever for Aruna and Astro. Both of them did the regular routines as usual until her birthday. On the day of Aruna's birthday, Lin ended up setting everything up, while Astro tried to come up with a believable excuse. Astro walks up to Diana's office and knocks on the door. After he hears Diana say to come in he opens the door.

Diana turns to Astro. "What do you want?" Diana said, annoyed.

"I was wondering if I could take Aruna to the park for training today, so she could get used to using her spells in a bigger area than the backyard." Astro said, trying to persuade Diana into believing that's why they were going there.

"Whatever, just be back before six ok." Diana said. She turned around and when back to working on whatever she was before.

"Ok." Astro said. He closed the door and ran to Aruna.

Aruna spotted Astro and walked towards him. "So? What did she say?" Aruna said.

"She said yes!" Astro excitedly replied. "Come let's go now!"

"Ok!" Aruna said. They started to walk towards the direction the park is in. "So Lin is going to be there, right?" Aruna asked

"Yeah, are you excited to meet her?" Astro asked Aruna.

"Of course! I want to know what she is like." Aruna said. They talked more until they were at the entrance of the park. "So where exactly are we hanging this?" Aruna asked.

"Let me show you." Astro said. He led her to the area. It is at one of those picnic tables and it had a purple tablecloth on it, there were star balloons attached to the table, there was some kind of basket on the table, there is a sign that is attached to two trees that read 'Happy Birthday Aruna!'. Aruna sees Lin waving at them. Selene (who is a human) and Sky (who is a light elf ) was there placing down bags. Selene spots Aruna and runs up to her and hugs her.

"Happy birthday Aruna!" Selene said as she hugged Aruna.

Aruna hugs her back. "Awww. Thank you." Aruna replied.

Selene lets go of Aruna and grabs Aruna's hand. "Let's go." Selene said with a smile on her face.

"Ok!" Aruna replied. They walked over to the table and Aruna looked at Lin. "Wow, you're so pretty. You're Lin right?"

"Aww thank you, and yea I am." Lin said smiling.

"Quite question, why are you dating my brother? He is so out of your league." Aruna asked.

Astro looked at Aruna offended. "Wow, just wow." Astro said

Lin was shocked about what Aruna said. "Oh uhh. I don't know how to respond to that. Umm, thank you I guess." Lin said confused.

"You're welcome." Aruna said. Aruna turned to Sky. "Oh hi there Sky, how are you?"

"Oh I'm great. Happy birthday by the way." Sky replied.

Lin opened the basket on the table and pulled out some sandwiches. "Here guys. It's not the best, but it's the only thing I could think of to bring." Lin said with an awkward smile.

All of them took one, and started to eat. Once everyone was done. Aruna, Selene, and Sky decided to go pick some flowers to make flower crowns. Astro and Lin stayed behind and sat on the bench next to each other.

"You sister say some interesting things, huh." Lin says.

"Yeah. But that's just Aruna being Aruna." Astro replies.

Lin looks at Astro and smiles at him. "I love how you're doing this for her, most siblings wouldn't." Lin said.

"I know, I just love seeing her happy. You know?" Astro said. "I would literally do anything for her."

"Yeah I guess that's a valid point." Lin said. Lin put her head on Astro's shoulder.

Astro looks down at her. "Are you tired, love?" Astro asked.

"No, this is just comfortable." Lin replied.

Astro wrapped his arm around Lin. "Ok darling." Astro said.
