SHAIT'S BIRTHDAY by Freya

Shait rubbed the sleep from her eyes as she stumbled to her front door.  "Who the heck is knocking on my door so early in the morning?" she thought as she opened it and peered outside.

She looked left, she looked right.  No one was there.  She looked up.   Nope.  No one.  She looked down and saw
a little box.  She picked it up and carried it inside opening it as she made her way over to the table.

"Ohhhh, how pretty" she exclaimed as she held a little music box in her hand.   She found the key and wound it
up.  It began to play Happy Birthday and a little man began to dance.  When the dance was over, the little man
held a piece of paper in his hands.   Shait opened it and grinned as she read...."Happy Birthday my dear
one....meet me at the waterfall as soon as you can!"  xxxoooxxx HerK

Shait rushed to her room and soon clothes were flying all around!  "Where'd I put my new bikini??"  she yelled.
"Oh...do I have to wax???"  In no time she was running thru the door to the waterfall.....sexily dressed in her new
bikini covered by a leopard print silk wrap.  Down the path she flew, not even stopping to say Hi to some early
rising amazons who called out Happy Birthday to her.  When she came to the waterfall, she stopped as gasped.
There lay Herk in a speedo on a blanket.  A fully stocked picnic basket was next to him and he was holding a
dozen long stem red roses.  He stood to greet her, wrapping her in his strong arms and gave her a birthday kiss
to remember!!

Happy happy Bday Shait!  May all your dreams come true!!!


hugs,
Freya


ARESFAN'S BIRTHDAY by Freya

Freya knocked on SHerk's hut and was surprised to find him sitting on his bed, looking very sad.

"What's up Sherk?" she asked as she made her way over to his side.

SHerk looked at her with big blue eyes as he  let many different colored ribbons fall thru his fingers.  "Look at
my ribbons" he said, "they're ruined....they're either dirty or frayed, some even have knots tied in them.  They'll
never be the same" he pouted.

Freya took some of the ribbons and agreed with him....some were in very sorry condition.   She had an idea...she
got out her cell phone and placed a call to the Sorbomart and explained to Hilara what she needed.

A short time later, the APS (Amazon Postal Service) guy knocked on the door and Freya signed for a huge
package.  Sherk loves packages, especially opening packages so he grabbed it from her and put it on the floor.
"What's in here Freya....what's in here??" he asked, jumping up and down.   "Can I open it??"  As Freya nodded,
SHerk ripped open the package and pulled out about 200 ribbons....all different colors and texture.  His eyes lit
up...."Oh a red one...a blue one....and red and blue one!  Oh I have to try these all on!!"

Freya whispered in his ear and he stuffed all the ribbons back into the box.   "Okay" he said..."since it is
AresFan's bday, I'll go over to her hut, model ALL these ribbons, and let her pick out the one she likes best!!"

************

Happy Bday AresFan!  Hope you enjoy the "show"!

hugs,
Freya

ASTRID'S BIRTHDAY by Freya

Astrild,  dressed in a beautiful ballgown, stood  and  looked at the piece of paper in her hands, and back to the
abandoned building in front of her.  "This is the right address" she thought to herself, "and I did follow the
directions carefully".   With a shrug, she walked to the door and knocked.   The door creaked open.  "This is
weird" she thought as she stuck her foot in the door.

"Hullo" she called out.

No answer.

Again she looked down at the address in her hand and back to the number stenciled on the building.

"Here goes nothing" she thought and she took a deep breath and entered.   The entryhall was covered with dust
and dimly lit.  Wiping cobwebs from her hair,  she walked towards a brighter light at the end of the hallway.

"Ick, spiders".....achoo...dust too!  Hope my allergies don't act up".

She turned the corner and walked into an old, beautifully decorated ballroom.  The hardwood floors gleamed
with years and years of polish.  The ceiling was ornately carved with hearts and flowers and cherubs.  Richly
colored tapestries hung from the walls.  Candles burned brightly and fresh flowers scented the air.  A full
orchestra was seated at the far end of the room.  But in the middle of the dance floor, with a ruby red rose in his
mouth, waited DHerk.  He bowed low to Astrild and held out his hand and she seem to float to the center of the
room into his arms.  Together they tangoed the night away!

********

Happy Bday Astrild!  May all your dreams come true!!

hugs,
Freya


SUSAN'S BIRTHDAY by Freya

Herk finally untied the silk scarf that he had placed around Susan's eyes and she looked around in wonderment.  She had never seen a more beautiful place.  It was like they were inside a house, but outside at the same time and she spun around laughing.

Earlier in the day, Herk had shown up at her door, took her into his arms, kissed her, and before she could
protest, wrapped a scarf around her eyes.  He took her by the hand and led her first to a carriage, then a boat,
then picked her up and placed her in front of him on a horse, and finally, they had arrived here.

Still laughing she ran into his arms and hugged him.  "Like it?" he asked, a smile playing on his lips.

"Love it!! she replied.  She glanced up and saw a million stars sparkling back at her.  A full moon rose above
shimmering waters and a gentle breeze caressed her face.   A table set for two looked out over the water, and
Herk popped open a bottle of champagne and toasted Susan.

"Happy Birthday my sweet...may I make all your dreams come true!!"

*********

Happy Bday Susan....and I hope all your dreams did come true!!

hugs,
Freya

ATALA'S BIRTHDAY by Freya

Alata eagerly ripped open the envelope Herk had given her for her birthday and drew out a certificate that read:

    The bearer of this certificate is
    entitled to a full day of art
    lessons at the Amazon Center
    for the Arts.

"Oh Herk...how did you know?  This is perfect!  This is just what I wanted!"  She spun around on her heels and
hurried into her hut.

"Where are you going so fast?" Herk asked as he hurried after her.   "This is your birthday and I thought we'd
celebrate it together".  He got this gleam in his eyes and reached for her....but missed as she sidestepped him
and opened up her closet  to get her smock.

"I'm heading to the Art Center!  There usually is a long line to get in and I want to make sure I'm first!!" she
replied as she threw some supplies into a bag and left.

"At least let me walk with you" Herk said as he shut the door behind him and rushed to catch up with her.

All the way there Alata kept up a constant stream of babble. "Hmmm, wonder what class I should take first?
Painting??  Watercolor or oil??  No...maybe sculpting?  Clay? No...carving...no painting...I like to paint....."

Herk smiled as he looked down at Alata and thought to himself "Well, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind,
but she' s happy and that is what matters....we'll celebrate later, I'm sure".

At the entrance to the Art Center, they kissed goodbye and Herk told her he'd be back at lunch time to see how
she was doing.  Alata happily skipped into the building.

********

A few short hours later, Herk met Alata in the Art Center's gardens.  She wasn't looking very happy  and when
she saw him standing there, she burst into tears.

"Alata, dear one...what's wrong" he asked as he dropped the basket he was carrying and hurried to her side.

"Sniff...I'm no good...at ....art....I tried and I tried...but I can't...." she whimpered into his chest.

"You can't what?" he tenderly asked.

"Can't...can't...anything...I tried to paint a landscape but it came out all wrong.   The colors ran together and I
ended up with a big mess.  Sniff Sniff"

"Then I tried carving....I almost sliced my finger off...see?" she held up a bandaged finger and Herk kissed it,
trying not to smile.  "So they gave me a bar of soap to practice on...they said try something easy....so I decided to
carve a fish for you.....here....does this look like a fish??" She held out a misshapened lump.

"Why, this is the nicest fish I've ever seen" Herk replied as he took the lump and held it tight.  "I'll treasure it
always" he said.

Alata looked up with tear filled eyes and caught his smile. "Oh...you are just saying that...its awful..I'm awful!
And I still have another class to go to this afternoon!"

They sat for a while until the bell rang.  Alata looked up at Herk and said "I don't think I want to go back in."

"Would it help if I went with you?" Herk asked.

Alata nodded so Herk picked up the basket he had dropped, took Alata's hand and into the class they went.

Taking seats, Herk looked around and whispered to Alata, "Um, just what class is this anyway?"

"Sculpting".

"Oh"

****

The instructor stood in front of the class and asked the students to pick the object they wanted to sculpt.  There
were different animal shapes to chose from, some abtract forms, a few busts of the gods.   Alata happily took her
lump of clay, and started working.  The instructor came and stood next to her and Herk and asked Herk why he
wasn't *creating*.  Herk explained that he was just there to watch.  So together they watched...and watched...Alata punched her clay, and shaped it, flattened it out, threw it on the floor, kicked it, picked it back up.  Herk and the instructor raised their eyebrows.  She finally held her finished sculpture in her hands.

"How do you like it Herk?" she asked.

"Its...um...great" Herk hesitantly replied.

"What is it?" the instructor asked.

Alata burst into tears.

The instructor was terribly upset that one of his students was crying and tried to tell Alata that she did have promise...that she hadn't found her niche yet.  Alata explained about the landscape, about the carving, everyone looked at the sculpture.   "You have to do what you know best" the instructor explained.  He touched his hand to her heart.

***********

Later that day, Herk knocked on the door to Alata's hut.  SHe opened it grinning.

I still don't know why you wanted modeling clay" Herk said as he slung the heavy bag down onto the floor.  "I
thought you gave up art."

"THe instructor said for me to do what I know best...and what I know best is you."

"Me...you're going to sculpt me?  Hmm, left side or right side....I think the right side of my face looks stronger"
Herk replied as he turned back and forth.

Alata grinned.

Her noticed the grin and got scared.

Alata grinned wider.

"no...what are you thinking" Herk asked althou he already knew.

Alata whispered in his ear and Herk blushed.

"But its my birthday Herk....and it will make me happy."

So, Herk undressed and took his place on a pedestal that Alata had in her hut.  Alata kneaded her clay.  Herk
blushed some more.  She got up and positioned him just so.  His hands went back to his privates.

"Oh Herk...don't be so modest!" she laughed.

He grabbed a bunch of grapes off the table and held them there, a smile breaking out on his face.

And Alata created a masterpiece!

****

Happy Birthday Dear Alata!  I hope you're special day is as wonderful as you are!!

hugs,
Freya

HILARA'S BIRTHDAY by Freya

"Are we there yet?" Hilara asked as Rober't steered her down a another twisty trail.

"Almost, my love" he replied as he grabbed her hand and pulled her along.

*************
Hilara's day started out so wonderfully and had just gotten better and better as it progressed.  First, she woke up to a
bright sunny day and the smell of freshly baked banana and blueberry muffins.  She stumbled into her kitchen singing
*Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me* and stopped in surprise when she saw the muffins in a basket with balloons
tied to it.  A pot of freshly brewed amazonian coffee stood steaming next to the basket. 

She helped herself to a muffin, and she as she raised it to her lips to bite it, someone knocked on her door. She
hurried to the door and threw it open.  SHerk stood there wearing a gigantic red bow and a smile.  "Hi!!" he said, as
he bounced into her cottage.  "I've got something for you....oppps...I forgot it" he laughed and rushed back outside.  Hilara stood there admiring his view, um, the view.

He came back in, this time carrying a sack full of birthday greetings from all of Hilara's amazons sisters, Herk, Sov,
Kull, and the alphas, plus a huge arrangement of flowers.  Then he took Hilara into his arms, bent her over backwards,
and gave her a spine tingling, toe curling, hot flash causing, birthday kiss.

Hilara sat down in the middle of the floor and started opening her cards. Some made her laugh, some gave her warm
fuzzies.  She opened an unmarked heavy white envelope and a single sheet of paper fell out. 

        "Happy Birthday my love.
        Put on something comfortable,
        a good pair of walking shoes,
        and pack a bathing suit.  I'll
        be by at 11:00 to pick you
        up."
          xxxoooxxx Rober't

Hilara held the letter to her heart and smiled.  "Oh Rober't" she thought, "what do you have planned?  Her thoughts drifted to other outings they had had, she thought of his lips, and that cute little way he had of smiling.

"Oh my zues!!" she screamed...."what time is it??"  I have to get ready...he'll be here soon!"  Cards, envelopes, and
bits of muffin flew thru the air as she rushed into her bedroom to get ready.

A short time later, Rober't knocked on her door.  Hilara flew into his arms and after receiving a long, hot,
passionate bday kiss from him, started asking a gazillion questions.  "Where are we going?  Do I look all right?  I'm
not overdressed am I?  Should I bring towels?  Food?  Tell me!!  Where are you taking me??"

Rober't just laughed and raised a finger to his lips.  He wrapped a light shawl around her shoulders and led her out
the door.  They made their way to the forest and down a twisty trail.  Tied to a branch, Hilara found a rose.  Down
another turn, she found a balloon.  Down a different trail, another rose.   Everytime she found something, Rober't would
kiss her.  Soon her arms were full of roses and balloons and her lips bruised.

Finally, they came into a clearing.  She recognized where she was.  The waterfall.  But the way Rober't had led her
here made her head spin.  A table set for two was set up under the shade of a big ol' oak tree.  A plaid blanket was
laid out over some soft moss.  There were flowers and white twinkling lights everywhere. 

Rober't turned to her and held her in his arms.  He kissed her forehead, then her eyelids.  Leaving little butterfly
kisses all over her face and neck he whispered "Happy Birthday Hilara"!

************

Happy Happy Birthday Dear Friend!  Hope all your wishes come true!!

hugs,
Freya
