[ Gwen looks down, confused. ]

What? It's a nineteen. You're turning nineteen, right?

[ Did she get it wrong? The cake was cheaper when it was for a six year old, which is why she had to DIY it a little bit.

But she grins, laughing. ] We'll have to eat eleven years worth of it, then. To make up for lost time.

[teamfun]

Oh shit, is that's what it's supposed to be? I thought you were mocking my shitty Mario Kart score.

[He grins, clearly pleased/]

Yes, you got the right age. One more year before I'm An Adult. So scary.

And heck, yes, we've got a LOT of cake-ing to catch up on. Thanks, Gwen, this is genuinely awesome.

[variantcover]

I see my cake decorating skills still need some work.

[ She should have just let the bakery do the 19. Oh well. ]

As someone who was nineteen for several years, trust me. It's gonna be the best time of your life.

[ She shrugs, trying not to jostle the cake too much. ]

So, are you gonna invite me in so we can eat this thing or what?

[teamfun]

Don't quit your day job, Gwen.

[Okay wait what. He does step aside to let her in, but now confusion reigns. ]

You were ninteen for several years?

[variantcover]

[ Gwen steps inside, familiar enough with the layout of Louis' apartment by now to head straight for the kitchen to set the cake down on the counter and begin looking for some plates. ]

The perils of comic book living. Nobody ages on the pages.

[teamfun]

Holy shit, you know I never thought about that. Okay, note to me: ask Kurt how old he is when I next see him.

[variantcover]

Right? I mean, dude's been around since the seventies, but he still looks great!

[teamfun]

Do you think it's the fur? Maybe it's the fur.

[variantcover]

The fur does obscure any wrinkles that might be there...

[teamfun]

It really does. If we shaved him, he'd probably be like a Shar Pei under there.

[Guys, don't shave Kurt]

[variantcover]

That... is not the mental image I wanted to start my day with.

[teamfun]

Me either. I genuinely regret saying that now and I take it all back. Mistakes were made, Gwen.
