She went back to their old home, the café, and quietly helped out with making more cakes and teas in the kitchen. Then, she helped close up the store.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" they all greeted Lilian
"Huh? How did you guys know my birthday is today?!"
"Yeah!" Roxanne said.
"We thought it might be rude to greet you." Angelica said.
"Oh, why?" Lilian said.
"You seemed to not care for it... and..." Angelica said.
"...yeah." Angelica said.
"..."
"If you girls don't mind me asking, what question was she talking about?" Caroline asked.
"Anyway! Back to the surprise birthday party!" Roxanne said.
"Happy birthday to you.... Happy birthday to you!" They all sang.
The cake wasn't rose flavored, it was matcha.
"Hey Lilian, is your favorite flavor rose?" Angelica said.
"Ah no."
"Then why did you eat it so much, drink it so much, and even start a business around it?"
"...well, it still does taste great, and I had loads of it."
"So what IS your favorite flavor?"
Lilian was busy, so she replied very dismissively.
"Matcha."
"You remembered! Thank you guys so much." Lilian said.
Lilian took a bite.
"Mmm it's so good! Thank you guys!" Lilian said.
"Of course, Lilian!" they said.
Everybody then celebrated her birthday for a short while.
