\f0\fs26 \cf0 This scene is told in third person from the viewpoint of Emma Hayes.\
Emma Hayes, wearing her almost too skimpy red sequined bikini, stood in front of a two tiered birthday cake while her thirty closest friends sang Happy Birthday.

Elikapeka and Susan quickly formed a cake cutting team and it was only minutes later than everyone had a piece. The cake was awesome, chocolate with pink and white buttercream icing.
