Ashlyn was so excited. It was finally her day, and no one could take that away from her. She had every intention of making her twentieth matter. Tonight, she was going to tell Kaden. Everything. Of course, a little liquid courage would help, no doubt about that. Tonight was going to be perfect. Her friend Dean's band, The Challenge, was playing, and Ashlyn absolutely adored them. She was so excited when he said yes to playing for her. The Opium Den was an ideal place to party, too. Ashlyn loved it there. She'd booked the place out for the night, and the bouncer's had a list of all the people that Ashlyn invited to her party. When she arrived at the Den, only the people who worked there were around, and Dean's band. They were setting up their equipment on the stage, but Dean wasn't anywhere to be found. Ashlyn shrugged that off, and went to the manager, double checking her list. When that was taken care of, she went to the floor. Everything was perfect. The DJ was already pumping tunes through the speakers. Any minute now, people would be arriving...

Aside from her birthday, one occasion she can never forget and will never forget was her best friend's. She would fly a thousand miles if she needs to just to be at her party. Today, Ash turns twenty and she'll make sure that she'll have the greatest time of her life even if she needs to carry her on her back on their way home. Aicee deliberately go on all carb-diet just for Ash's birthday. She looked at her self in her dress once more before jumping into her car and drove to the Den. Music was playing when she came, obviously there no one there yet, but of course, she's early, she needs to be early anyway to help Ashlyn out with anything she needs. She looked around and found the birthday girl. She hurriedly walked towards her and gave a hug. "Happy birthday best friend!" she said to Ashlyn and handed her her gift. "Here's something you wanted I suppose. As much as I wanted for us to have the same dress color , it's your moment and I don't plan on stealing it." she joked and gave her a new cerulean bag by Marc Jacobs, something Ashlyn mentioned she wanted. "So, is there anything else I can do? By the way, do me a little favor and tell me I look slim in this dress."

 It's not about what. It's about who!Austin was so busy that it almost slipped his mind about Ashlyn's birthday. Luckily he'd remembered early enough that he wouldn't have to rush to get ready. He wanted to impress Ashlyn tonight. This was his one big opportunity to fully prove himself. He loved her and that's what mattered. He wouldn't be the sleazy kinda guy though. No way. That was not him at all. He would go for simplistic.
After choosing his outfit, he called his cousin Scott for his opinion. Scott liked the combo and approved of it. Austin was glad. He wasn't the best person when it came to picking out clothes, especially for parties. That's what personal stylists and wardrobe people were for: people who didn't know how to make good combinations.
He also needed to figure out what he should get her. Scott offered to go pick something out and drop by the Opium to give it to him. Austin agreed, since the clock was running down now.
Limo or car? Austin thought when he got ready to leave. Well, since it was only a birthday party, Austin decided car. He left his room at the Hotel and walked to the valet, asking for his car. When the valet guy returned, he got into his 2005 Chrysler Firepower and went on his way to the party.
When he got to The Opium Den, he parked his car and walked inside. He saw Ashlyn immediately, almost not noticing Aicee with her. He walked up to them both. "Hi Ashlyn. Happy birthday," he said, a little timidly. It looked great inside and the music was nice and loud. It sure felt like a birthday party. Austin's Outfit |

All day, Cameron had been trying to perfect her outfit, and gift for Ashlyn's party... Alright, so perhaps it wasn't all day, but she did wonder what everyone else would be wearing, which caused her to think about if her outfit would be good enough. Finally, after what seemed like a lot of debating, although it was only between a few outfits, Cameron had decide upon a short cocktail dress, and her new steve madden gladiator flats.
Hopping into her red prius, Cameron drove her way from her home, and off towards the opium, where the party was being held. Once there, Cameron walked in, with the gift in her hand. As she approached Ashlyn, she tried not to jump out of nowhere, like last time, and spook her. "Ashlyn!" Cameron called out, as she approached her. "Happy birthday!" She said, giving her a hug, and then handed over the gift bag, that held the matt & nat bag inside.

Ashlyn gave Aicee a huge hug. "Thank you!" She was so happy that her best friend was here. Even if no one else showed, her party would be perfect since the A team was there. She squealed when Aicee gave her the bag. "Ahh! Aicee, it's perfect! How did you guess?" she joked. Ashlyn had been wanting that bag since it came out. She laughed about the slim comment. "Girl, you know that whatever you wear, you're slim in!" She smiled, giving her friend another hug.
It was then that Ashlyn saw Austin. He looked great! "Thanks, Austin!" she said merrily, giving him a hug. "Excellent fedora, by the way. Be careful, or I might steal it from you!" she teased, reaching for his hat. She was distracted though when Cameron approached, holding out a gift bag. She could tell Cameron was trying hard not to jump out and spook her. But tonight, Ashlyn would have welcomed the scare, because nothing could put a damper on her evening. Nothing at all. "Cameron! I'm so glad you came!"

"No, on the left! The left! Your other fucking left!" Dane shouted at the roadies. Of course, they went even further to their right. "Fuck this," he mumbled, grabbing his mic stand and going inside the club. The side door of the building led into a kind of secret passageway behind the stage, then to a break room for the club staff, then that lead directly to the stage itself. Dane followed that, fuming, as he carried his mic stand to the stage. Once he got there, he gently, lovingly, set it down. He heard a bunch of girlish giggling, just barely over the music, and he looked off the stage to see Ashlyn chatting with two other girls and a guy. He went back into the break room and picked up his gift for her.
Sneaking up behind Ashlyn, he lifted her hair off the back of her neck. He gently placed a kiss on her neck. She was his best friend, after all. They had been friends with benefits, and they were completely comfortable with each other now. "Happy birthday, beautiful," Dane said, hugging her from behind.

"Well thank you my dear, I think I can eat carbs now. I surely missed pasta a lot." Which she had been avoiding for weeks to stick to her diet. Few more friends came in and Aicee greeted them too. "Cam, you need to give me one of those on my birthday!" she joked on Cameron. The band seemed to be setting up when a guy greeted Aicee from behind. He seems to know her best friend, technically, Aicee doesn't know him. He looked like someone from the band, a guitarist probably. She fell silent when they started talking.

Kaden walked into The Opium Den and looked around. It was Ashlyn's twentieth birthday party, so he felt the need to make an appearance since he was invited and she was a friend. In truth, he was hoping that Jasper would be there because he wanted to talk to her. It had been a few days since that night at her house when she was sick and he wanted to ask her on a real date, but he knew that this night was supposed to be firstly about Ashlyn, which he intended to make it that way. After all, she had been a good friend to him. As he walked in, he saw that it was brightly decorated and perfected, exactly how Ashlyn would have wanted it. He smiled and began to make his way to find the birthday girl to give her his greetings and a birthday hug.

Ashlyn felt her hair lifted and a pair of warm lips on her neck. It didn't take long to figure out who it was, since that was Dane's trademark move in greeting her. And as usual, it gave her gooseflesh. She turned in his arms and gave him a hug. "Dane, thank you so so much!" she said. She released him and turned back to the group. "Guys, this is Dane. He's one of my best friends since forever. He's been on the show a few times, too. Dane, this is Cameron, Austin, and Aicee." she said, introducing the group to Dane. She noticed that Aicee got a little quiet, but she chose to ignore it, especially since she saw Kaden coming in.
Disentangling herself from Dane, she ran up and met him half way from where he was. "Kaden!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms about his neck. She was especially happy he came. Now, she had to throw everything into motion to tell him. She just needed a little liquid confidence first.

It's not about what. It's about who! Austin laughed when Ashlyn complimented him. "Thanks. if you want it take it. I have a million more from Scott and Alice." A bunch more people started to show up and Austin took a step back so they could all hord Ashlyn on her big day. Austin remember his last birthday. They didn't have a party, but he had some of the cast members over for a small get together. He didn't want a big blow out.
As Ashlyn introduced Dane to him, he said, "Hello," and said hi to his fellow castmates. This was going to be a huge party from the looks of it. This was exactly why he didn't want a big blow out party. People were all over you and attatched to you at the hip. It was a little horrific. But he shouldn't be talking. He was going to try and stay as close to Ashlyn as possible tonight. |

Kaden walked around for a few minutes, seeing other members of the cast around. He was perfectly content just walking around quietly until Ashlyn completely caught him off-guard with her hug. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her for a hug. "Happy birthday Ashlyn," he said enthusiastically. "I hope you're having a good one so far. Twenty means you're no longer a teenager! How does it feel? Kaden laughed again and smiled at her. Ashlyn was one of those girls that was just easy to be around because they made you laugh. He had always admired that about her and thought of her as a good friend.

Ashlyn giggled as she disentangled herself from Kaden's arms. Not that she wanted to, but she wasn't ready to tell him just yet. "Haha, no different, I guess. I still feel a lot of kid in me" she explained, a big grin on her face. Tonight was going to go perfectly. All of her friends were showing up, but she couldn't help but wonder where Brooke and Hunter and Gavin were off too. Karin and Jasper too; they hadn't arrived yet. She looked back at her group of friends. It looked like Dane was eying Aicee. She inwardly grinned and made a mental note to ask him about that later. Aicee was definitely his type of girl, she knew that all along. But she never actually thought of it until this point in time.
Ashlyn turned her attention back to Kaden. "So, save a dance for me, alright?" she asked. She didn't know if Kaden was much of a dancer but she'd pull the 'it's my birthday' card out of her deck if she had to. She was never afraid of giving someone a good guilt trip, even with the best of intentions.

Jasper pulled up to The Opium Den and got out of her car handing the keys to the valet to park it for her. SHe smiled at the young man and walked up to the bouncer at the door. "I'm here for Ashlyns birthday party." She said smiling up at the man. Clubs were not really Jaspers type of thing but she went for Ashlyn and thought she might have some fun. The bouncer looked down at his list and let Jasper in. "Thanks" She smiled as she walked into the club. Jasper looked around and saw that the club was packed. She sighed and then finally saw Ashlyn and Kaden talking to each other, she also noticed some of her other cast mates from the show. Jasper pushed her way through the crowd over to the group and Ashlyn. "Happy Birthday pretty lady!" She said as she got next to Ashlyn. She then looked at Kaden and smiled. "Hey Flash." She said under her breath to him and then winked. Outfit: www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=9228767 |

Aicee glanced at Ashlyn's friend when he's not looking. Not that she liked him already. But she can't deny his cool aura and okay she admits he's hot. But she doesn't know him. How can she really like him without knowing him. That's so not her. But a musician? Geeze, she did kinda mentioned it to Ashlyn before. She did want to know what it's like to date a musician. But no, she's not gonna say anything to Ashlyn, well, she'll try not to.
Then Ashlyn introduced her friend. Best friend? How come she never met him. Well, it's a good thing, if he's Ashlyn's best friend and she introduced him before they could have been best friends too which was not good. Damnit, what am I thinking?! she thought. This isn't about her and a hot guy, it's about Ashlyn, it's her birthday. "Hey, I'm the other best friend." she said jokingly. Wow, that's lame.
"Hey Ash, how about we get them the drinks?" she suggested. "I'll do it. No worries." she said smiling, trying to get some breathing space. She needs to focus tonight as a co-host. That's her job. Ashlyn's gonna be busy attending to guest and she doesn't want for other things to be unattended.

Kaden smiled at Ashlyn, genuinely happy for her that she was having a good time. Birthdays were always a special thing in Kaden's mind. His last one was spent with just his family, which he was perfectly fine with. Big bashes were not really Kaden's thing since he was still getting used to the whole "Hollywood" scene to begin with. When she asked him to save a dance for her, he could feel himself already begin to stutter, but he played it cool. "Alright," he agreed. "But I warn you that I do have two left feet sometimes when it comes to anything else but two-steppin'." He consciously laughed at himself and smiled at her.
And then he heard a voice near him; one he immediately recognized. He turned his attention to see her, the one person he had been hoping would come; Jasper. The moment she whispered his nickname under her breath and winked at him, he smiled at her and tried not to make his enthusiasm at her arrival too obvious. "It's good to see you Jasper," he said, leaning in and whispering while Aicee took Ashlyn's attention for a second, "I was hoping you would come tonight." With that he gave her a small kiss on the cheek.
