Ezra's P.O.V

   Kanan and I walked out of the room and went  to the common room. There sat Hera with a look of conflict on her face. "Ezra, how about you go and play with Chopper," Kanan said. I gave him an 'are you kidding me' look. He wanted me to play with the psychotic droid.

   "Come on, go," Kanan urged, "You and Chopper are friends. You both love playing with each other."

   "Since when?" I asked and Kanan raised an eyebrow. "Just go please. I need to talk with your mother," Kanan told me and I was flabbergasted. HE WAS SAYING HERA WAS MY MOTHER! I walked out without a comment cause I was to shocked. I calmed down and went to find Chopper.

   I found him in the cargo bay doing some work. I walked over to him and said, "Hey Chop." Chopper turned and whirled with happiness. It was strange seeing the grumpy droid happy to see me but it was nice. "Did you want to play?" I said a bit unsure if I wanted to play with Chopper. I'm not exactly one to play especially with a droid but I had to blend in with the crowd in a way.

   Chopper whirled with joy saying, "Yeah!" He wheeled over and grabbed...........a ball? He gently tossed me it and I caught the ball. I tossed the ball back and thought this was going to be boring until the ball hit Chopper's dome. Chopper fell to the floor yelling, "AAAAAHHHHHH."

I thought that I tossed it to hard until I realized that Chopper did it on purpose. Chopper beeped something similar to 'uh-oh' which actually made me laugh. I didn't think Chop could be nice to me that he would actually made himself look ridiculous.

"You ok, Chop?" I asked still laughing a little and went over helping the droid back on his wheels. "Never better!" Chopper said proudly and I smiled. I wish Chopper would act like this more often or ever. Of course, a wish had made everyone on the crew act weirdly and turned me into a seven year old or about to turn seven?

I was brought out of my thoughts when the ball collided with my face. "Ow!" I said and rubbed the spot I was hit. Chopper rolled over worried and asked, "Are you okay?" I nodded and smiled at the droid, "I'm fine." "Good," Chopper beeped, "Cause, who would I beat at hide and seek!" Chopper rolled off laughing and I chased after him laughing childishly considering I am a child.

   I began to search for Chopper. I was passing the common room when I heard something...

   "What are we going to tell Ezra?"

   "We don't have to tell him anything. We could make it a surprise and get them tomorrow."

   I stopped and listen when my name was said. Who were they talking about? "I told Ezra that we wouldn't do anything tomorrow cause of his birthday," I heard Kanan say. Then I could hear someone sigh in defeat. Was that Hera? "Should we tell him though?" She asked.

   Suddenly the door opened and I fell into the room. "I think he already knows most of it," Kanan said looking down at me with a disapproving look. I gave a toothy smile and an innocent look that meant, 'I'm in trouble.' "How many time do I have to tell you not to spy on other people's conversations," Hera asked me.

   "Did you ever tell me not to talk behind other people's backs even when they aren't listening?" I said. Hera and Kanan seemed taken back by my snarky reply. "Did you just talk back to us?" Hera asked a bit angrily. "Yeah, I did," I said getting angry now, "What's going on and who are you talking about?"

   "We are not telling you anything if you are using that attitude with us," Kanan said with his arms crossed. "Fine!" I shouted and stomped my foot pouting then walked out of the room. I didn't bother to go look for Chopper, instead I went to my bunk and laid down in my bed.

   I tried but wasn't able to sleep. A while later the door opens but my back was facing the door. I didn't want to talk to anyone so I pretended to sleep. "Ezra? Are you still awake?" I heard Kanan whisper. I didn't reply.

   He sighed and said, "I know you're awake and I just wanted to say that Hera and I know that your birthday is rough for you. We wanted to surprise you with some news tomorrow cause I don't think I've ever seen you smile on your birthday."

   They were trying to make me happy on my birthday. That's why they wouldn't tell me cause it's a surprise. I rolled over and told him, "I'm sorry."

   "Don't be," he said, "It was our fault for getting mad in the first place." I nodded and the room went silent. Kanan walked over to the side of my bed. I was shocked when he started to comb his fingers through my hair and it felt....nice. "Goodnight," he said and surprised me even more when he kissed my forehead.

   Kanan smiled at me and left the room leaving me frozen. Did Kanan just do what I think he did?! Those were my thoughts that were spinning rapidly in my head. I snuggled in my covers more with tears in my eyes. Kanan really cared for me along with the rest of the crew. There was a lump in my throat but I held back my sobs. Yet, I wasn't able to hold back my tears.

   I silently cried myself to sleep that night but they were tears of joy. Yet, it wasn't such a peaceful night when I woke up screaming from a nightmare...
