11th May 1998
Today is Lindsay's birthday. She has turned 20 years old on that very day. Lindsay was about between 16 to 17 when she first met her heroes, Sam & Dudley. For their friend's birthday, Sam & Dudley wants to plan a surprise party at her house. Right now, Sam & Dudley are looking for supplies for the party to make it twice as special.
Sam: Okay, Dudley, what does Lindsay like?
Dudley: Hmmm…
Sam: We have to decorate for her party.
Dudley: Decorations, right.
Sam: Like… balloons and streamers.
Dudley: And a cake.
Sam: Yeah, but what is her favourite cake?
Dudley: I heard Lindsay likes pineapple upside-down cake.
Sam: Mmmm.
Dudley: Come on, Sam, let's go to the market for the supplies.
Sam: After that, we get the cake.
Sam & Dudley head to the supermarket to find some birthday supplies for Lindsay's birthday. The first thing they look for are streamers. They find Lindsay's favourite colours of streamers to hang up at her house. Sam & Dudley are having a little bit of trouble finding Lindsay's favourite colours. Along came Hank the grocer, asking the two if they needed help finding anything.
Hank: You two need help finding something?
Sam: Yes, please. We're looking for some lime green streamers, but it seems they're not on the shelf.
Hank: That's because they're out of stock.
Dudley: Out of stock?!
Hank: Not to worry, I'll go get some more from the back. Be right back!
Sam: I don't know how Lindsay is going to feel if we don't get her favourite colour of streamers.
Dudley: Not very pleased, I'll say.
Hank walks to the backroom of the supermarket to find some lime green streamers. It took a few minutes for Hank to find the streamers Sam & Dudley wanted. So Hank carries the box of streamers and restocks them on the shelf.
Hank: That oughta do it!
Sam: Whew! Thank god for that!
Hank: Say, are you two having a birthday party?
Dudley: Correct! It's our friend Lindsay Cox's birthday.
Hank: Wait, isn't she the lady who was hanging on the bridge about to fall from, like... 3 years ago?
Sam: Uh huh.
Hank: Where she was being pushed by that Grimy?
Sam: Uh huh.
Dudley: And we were the ones who saved her that day from the serial killer.
Sam: And we were the ones who caught the killer.
Hank: You guys are heroes, you know that?
Dudley: Hell yeah.
Sam: Anyways, Hank. Got any balloons?
Hank: Absolutely!
Hank walks to the balloon station. Hank asks which colours Sam & Dudley want, and they ask for Lindsay's favourite colours. Hank kindly inflates the particular colour of balloons with helium, ties them to a string, and hands the bunch of balloons to the two.
Hank: Now, if I were you, I'd tie the ends of the balloons to your wrist so they don't fly away.
Dudley: You got it! (Ties the ends of the balloons to his wrist)
Sam: Thank you so much, Hank. (Pays for the supplies)
Hank: Have a good day, you two! And uhh… Your friend is about to fly.
Sam: That's impossible. He can't… fly?!
To Sam's surprise, Dudley is about to fly away because of the balloons tied to his wrist. Sam immediately runs out of the supermarket to try and save Dudley.
Dudley: Sam! Help!
Sam: Dudley!
Sam grabs Dudley by the hand to try and get him down on the ground, but Dudley's hand is too sweaty. Which has caused his hand to slip and have Dudley fly away.
Dudley: Noooooooooo! (Flies away)
Sam: Dudley!!!
Dudley: Help!!
Sam: (Sighs) God dammit, Dudley.
Sam shrugs and decides to go to the bakery himself for a cake. He walks into the bakery with Humperdink and Able Baker Charlie in the front. They both greet Sam and wonder why he's glum.
Mr. Humperdink: Hey there, Sam. Why the long face?
Sam: Oh, nothing.
Able Baker Charlie: That doesn't look like nothing.
Sam: I just lost my friend Dudley.
Mr. Humperdink: Oh god, don't tell me he died.
Sam: No no no, he just…
Able Baker Charlie: What?
Sam: Promise not to make fun of me for it?
Mr. Humperdink: No promises.
Sam: Well… He flew away with balloons tied to his wrist.
Able Baker Charlie: (Guffaws)
Mr. Humperdink: (Snickers)
Sam: Guys! It's not funny! This is some serious shit right there! He could fly into space and… suffocate!
Mr. Humperdink: ...
Sam: Anyways, let's cut the shit. I would like you guys to bake a cake.
Mr. Humperdink: What kind?
Sam: Got any pineapple upside-down cake?
Able Baker Charlie: Absolutely!
Mr. Humperdink: It'll be about, uhhh... 20 minutes.
Sam: It'll be worth the wait. I guess.
Mr. Humperdink: Don't worry, Sam. I'm sure Dudley will come back to earth.
Sam: I hope to fucking god he does.
Mr. Humperdink: Chin up; your cake is being made.
Mr. Humperdink and Able Baker Charlie head to the kitchen to make the pineapple upside-down cake for Sam. They gather all the ingredients for the cake, including the pineapple. They mix and measure the ingredients and toss the cake in the oven for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes have passed, they get the cake out of the oven and place it on a surface to let the cake cool until they get ready to place the toppings, including the pineapple, on the cake.
Sam is just sitting in the chair sulking and staring at the floor. While he was thinking, he heard Mr. Humperdink's voice telling Sam that his cake is ready. Sam gets up from the chair and looks at the cake and thinks it looks delicious. Mr. Humperdink puts the cake in a box so he can carry the cake safely. Sam walks out of the bakery still bummed about Dudley. Sam walks to Lindsay's house. Luckily, he had the key to Lindsay's house, which means he can go inside and decorate. Right as Sam placed the cake and the supplies on the table, he heard a voice crying for help. Sam recognised that voice, and to his surprise, it was Dudley. Dudley was dangled in a tree from the balloons. All the balloons were popped, and Dudley is stuck in a tree.
Dudley: Help! Somebody!
Sam: Dudley??
Dudley: Sam!
Sam: Thank god you're okay!
Dudley: I'm okay, but the balloons aren't.
Sam: Oh, shit.
Dudley: Did you get the cake?
Sam: For sure.
Dudley: Get me down here!
Sam: Just jump down and I might catch you!
Dudley: (Gulp)
Sam: Do it!
Dudley was about to jump from the trunk, but the tree trunk broke, causing Dudley to fall off the tree. He lands on Sam as he positions to catch Dudley.
Sam: (Muffling)
Dudley: Huh? What?
Sam: (Gets Dudley off him.) Get the fuck off me!
Dudley: Thank you, Sam.
Sam: Let's go in and set up the stuff.
Dudley: On it.
Sam & Dudley walk into Lindsay's house to set up all the decorations, including the streamers. In the middle of setting the things up, they heard a knock on the door. Sam walks to the front door to answer it. It was someone they had never seen before. It was a rabbit named Winston Sativus.
Winston: Hi, I'm just here for the surprise party for Lindsay.
Sam: Who are you?
Winston: I'm Winston, Winston Sativus. I'm Lindsay's friend.
Sam: Nice to meet you, Winston. I'm Sam, and this is my partner, Dudley. We're Lindsay's friends too.
Winston: Cool. Can I come in?
Sam: Sure. Just so you know, Lindsay isn't home yet.
Winston: I know. But she'll be here any minute now.
Sam greeted Winston inside the house; Winston took a seat on the couch. Sam & Dudley just finished decorating for the surprise party. Three minutes have passed, and Lindsay is on her way to her house. She opens the door with the lights off, and there is no sound in the house. She switches the light switch on, and Sam, Dudley & Winston all jump out and yell "Surprise!"
Sam, Dudley & Winston: Surprise!!
Lindsay: Awww, thanks, guys!
Dudley: Happy birthday, Lindsay!
Sam: How old did you turn?
Lindsay: 20.
Dudley: (Whistles) You're getting older every year.
Lindsay: Hahaha. Where's the cake?
Dudley: One second.
Winston: Hey, Lindsay. Glad you came!
Lindsay: Likewise, I'm glad you came, Winston! (Hugs Winston)
Winston: (His back pops) Ouch! Careful!
Lindsay: Oh, sorry, Winston.
Winston: It's cool.
Sam: So, Lindsay, there has been a mishap of things when we were getting the stuff for the party.
Lindsay: What's that?
Sam: Well, we got balloons, but they sent Dudley flying, and they popped.
Lindsay: No biggie; I don't really like balloons.
Sam: You don't?
Lindsay: Of course not. They scare the shit out of me when they pop.
Sam: Anyways, what do you think of the streamers?
Lindsay: Lime green! My favorite colour!
Dudley comes back to the dining room with the pineapple upside-down cake in his hands with candles on it. Sam lights the candles with a match, turns the dining room light off, and they start singing happy birthday.
Sam, Dudley & Winston: (Singing) Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Lindsay, Happy birthday to you!
Winston: Make a wish, Lindsay!
Lindsay: (Makes a wish in her head and blows out the candles)
Dudley: Yay!! (Claps)
Sam: (Clapping his hands)
Winston: Wooo!
Dudley: Alright! Let's dig in!
Lindsay: Yeah!
Sam, Dudley, Winston, and Lindsay all eat the cake, and they enjoyed it. They enjoyed the surprise party in spite of fearing that it would fail because of the popped balloons. Sam and Dudley didn't know Lindsay didn't like balloons, as she's easily frightened by the sound of balloons popping.
