[ Madoka's voice comes over the journal singing!! ]

Happy birthday to me~! Happy birthday to me~!

Happy birthday [ ........ nope too shy to go on. She cuts herself off with giggles at and is almost audibly covering her face. She still sounds pretty pleased though; ] Ah, never mind, forget that! It's too embarrassing!

But, back when everyone was still at Isla Empieza, did anyone see somewhere that might have cake? Just a small one would be fine...

'Cause I don't know much about where to find cake on the Isla Empieza, but it's only right to give someone a present for their birthday, right?

[voice]

[bydesign]

I don't need anything in this kind of place.

[ as an afterthought: ] Oh, but thank you though! That's very thoughtful.

[voice]

[carptricks]

Don't mention it. This place isn't exactly an ideal location for a birthday party though, is it/

[voice]

[bydesign]

Yeah, it's not quite as cozy of a party location as I'm used to...

[voice]

[carptricks]

Maybe not, but we've gotta make the most of it, right?

And there has to be a bakery on the island somewhere.

[voice]

[bydesign]

I think we're going to try to make our own, instead.

[voice]

[carptricks]

An even better idea! What flavor?

[voice]

[bydesign]

Chocolate!

[voice]

[carptricks]

Good choice. I like your taste in cake flavors.

[voice]

[bydesign]

I like almost any sweets, so I wouldn't mind a different flavor. But if I have to pick - chocolate is my favorite.

[voice]

[carptricks]

Heh, mine too. It beats out lame flavors like vanilla any day.

[voice]

[bydesign]

Vanilla is particularly good with fruits and cream, though.

[voice]

[carptricks]

But not as good as a pure fruit flavor, like strawberry, is.

[voice]

[bydesign]

Oh! Strawberry is definitely pretty high up there, if I had to rank them!

[voice]

[carptricks]

Chocolate, then strawberry? I'd put coffee next to chocolate, personally.

[voice]

[bydesign]

Coffee flavor is good too, but I don't usually think of it in the same category as dessert. It's not as sweet of a flavor.

[voice]

[carptricks]

Not by itself, but if it's baked into coffee cake it's a lot sweeter than the drink is.

[voice]

[bydesign]

Coffee-cake is sweet, but I've had coffee flavored candies before, and cakes that were just coffee flavored, and they were kind of bitter.

[voice]

[carptricks]

I imagine they were supposed to be. Chocolate's a pretty bitter taste too, unless you mix it with sugar.

[voice]

[bydesign]

I can only drink it if I'm reeeaaally sleepy and need to wake up for class.

[voice]

[carptricks]

I can only drink it if it's smothered with cream and sugar.

[voice]

[bydesign]

Same! And there are a couple of brands that make sweet kinds in the vending machines at school, but they sell out pretty fast.

[voice]

[carptricks]

What would we do without brands that market to those of us with a sweet tooth?

[voice]

[bydesign]

I don't know if it's a sweet tooth... I just haven't developed that 'adult' taste for bitter things, yet.

[voice]

[carptricks]

I'd consider mine a sweet tooth. There's no shame in admitting it.
