May 23, 2025 Part 4

This has been a very long day and I’m going to turn in early but I want to catch you up to what’s happened since my last entry.

I found out why Jack didn’t really care that it was my birthday. He told it to me when I started yelling at him. And I only yelled at him because when I was keeping a watch on Dr. Reyes I saw him and her come up together and then they hugged! They had hugged!! I couldn’t believe it. We’re supposed to be undercover and he was off with her. Of course I was going to be angry. How else was I going to act?

Then when he came back and I was yelling at him he explained why he was with her; he saw her being attacked by krybots and so he saved her, which was very nice. He then walked her back to her place and on the way they talked about birthdays.

Jack doesn’t know when his is!

Of course I felt horrible about it, but how was I supposed to know. And he couldn’t just go and check in the archives because apparently his parents had already left New Tech City and became missionaries. They had Jack shortly after, but his parents weren’t in contact with SPD, so no one but those they were living with knew about it. And his parents died a few years after he was born and before he remembered. That was how he got to be on the streets; he came back to America and to here, but didn’t go to the place that he was supposed to. Years later he and Z met and they’d been together ever since.

So Jack was birthday less, which was really sad but before anything more was able to be said we got called to fight Soonuko.

After that Jack told me he would go and take care of the things and I could go since it was my birthday. It was so sweet of him. I didn’t go home though I decided to go back to SPD and take a shower. That was when I thought came up with the best present ever, I think so anyway. But the present isn’t for me, it’s for Jack. And it isn’t because I feel sorry for him, it’s because I want too.

I looked for him after the shower and then called Jack because he wasn’t there, in fact I couldn’t find Bridge, Z or Sky. He told me to meet him in the park. So I got dressed up, out of my uniform, and I went there.

That’s when I found out about my party. They threw me a surprise birthday party, it was so sweet. Not only was Jack, Bridge, Z and Sky there, but Doggie, Kat, Boom. Piggy was there, but Jack explained that Piggy gave him information in exchange for a party invite.

Anyways, Jack gave me a cupcake with pink frosting for my birthday, wasn’t that sweet? And then I gave him a present, I told him that he could share my birthday with me. So now we have the same birthday, different years, he’s a year older than me, but you should have seen his face, he was happy.

I’ve decided that I’m going to forget about what happened to me on my birthday this year. Anyways, that was a long explanation. Oh well. I guess I’ll talk more later.
