In what seemed to be a saloon that was almost covered in glitter. Because the squirrels, mostly. But also because glitter was festive if you asked Jaskier.

From:

There were, of course, plenty of ~~moddable~~ drinks and things to be eaten.

From:

You know. Once she's there and all.

From:

Paaaarty. I'll be pretty slow thanks to work!

From:

Rey looked really amused at the setting, partly because it was new to her and partly because look! It wasn't just her! This room did this to people!

And she was feeling pretty great about anyone doing all this for her anyway.

From:

And, of course, Summer had planned a full-on jello shot spread to bring to the party to honor the Lady of the Hour, becaues, hello, that was just what she did!

And, besides, even without Rey's birthday, a Wednesday without jello was just sad for everyone.

Hopefully, everyone would get a chance to enjoy (or at least admire!) some Glowing Light Sabers, Little Space Ships, Jello Planets, Caf Martinis, Coconut Meiloorun, Blaster Bolts, and (of course) Dr. Pepper.

From:

Well. This theme definitely seemed like...a choice?

(Ironic).

But Summer wasn't going to judge, even if she was suddenly wondering if she'd leaned a little too hard into the now-seemingly-too-obvious space theme with her jello shots, but whatever! A party was a party, and this one was even more of a party because it was Rey's! Whoo!

From:

"Rey!" Yeah, if you didn't think there'd be an incoming hug from Summer flying in at some point, uhhh, hi? Have you met her? "Ohmygod, like, happy birthday!"

And presumed light insistence that it wasn't really a big deal or anything in three, two...

From:

"Thank you!" Rey said, hugging her back. "This is very new."

Because it wasn't really a big deal or anything.

Silver was not surprised that the Holosuite screwed this up. He didn't seem to mind too much. It still looked festive, in a way.

"I don't think this is what Jaskier had in mind," Silver said as he approached Rey. "But it looks festive, so that's what counts. Happy birthday."

From:

"Thank you," Rey said, leaning in for a kiss. "I do appreciate that I'm not the only one the room won't listen to."

The greatest birthday present of all.

From:

Pssh. If it had the word party in it, it was totally a big deal. Even more so when you threw in birthday.

"Well," Summer grinned, "hopefully you don't hate it, because there are going to be plenty more of these in the future."

Especially if she had anything to do with it.

From:

"I don't know if that's necessary..."

It was too late already, wasn't it?

From:

"I think most things on this island hates everybody equally," he said, kissing her. "It's never just you."

From:

"Thank you for the validation," Rey smiled. "I think you did pass up an opportunity to wear your cowboy costume again."

No, she wasn't serious.

Steve had to swing by to celebrate his neighbor (even if finding out how old she was turning would make him feel So Very Old), and was not expecting a saloon theme at all.

"Well, this is different."

From:

"Of course it's not necessary," Summer agreed, with a grin that said everything she was about to add already.

"But when have I ever let that stop me?"

DID YOU SEE HOW MUCH JELLO SHE MADE FOR THIS, REY?

As though Annie would miss Rey's birthday, no matter how much she'd been getting chewed out 24/7 since arriving back in New York (apparently, "I fell in a hole" wasn't a great excuse to some people?)

She made a quick stop at home to change out of her uniform before arriving, and....

"I like it." You know what, she did. Way to embrace a theme (or something.)

From:

"I like the theme," Annie greeted her, coming over for a birthday hug. "Happiest of birthdays, Rey!"

From:

He laughed. "What makes you think I kept it?"

"I'd wanted to say hello on Saturday," Anakin said, smiling as he approached, "but I was giving Grogu back."

From:

"I usually go much lower key," Rey warned.

Like, she didn't really address it.
