I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Fey, Voli, Michael, and Brick Norty gathered in the living room, discussing what they could do to surprise Fein for his birthday. Michael suggested they throw a big party, while Voli thought it would be nice to bake a cake. Brick Norty offered to decorate the place, and Fey volunteered to prepare a special gift for Fein.

As they continued their planning, Michael suddenly spoke up. "Guys, I know we're doing all of this for Fein, but let's not forget that we're doing it for ourselves too. We're a family, and we should take every chance we get to celebrate our bond."

Fey nodded in agreement. "Michael's right. Fein has been with us through thick and thin, and it's only fitting that we show him how much we appreciate him."

Brick Norty chimed in, "He's always been there to patch us up and pull us through, even when we didn't deserve it. I owe him my life, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here who feels that way."

Voli looked down at the floor, tears welling up in his eyes. "I just wish we could do more for him. He's done so much for us, and we can never repay him fully."

Fey placed a hand on Voli's shoulder. "We can't repay him, but we can certainly show him how much we care. Let's make this the best birthday he's ever had."

The group then went on to assign tasks, each taking on a role to prepare for Fein's special day. But deep down, they all knew that this was more than just a birthday celebration. It was a chance to show their love and gratitude for the man who had become more than just a friend, but a true family member.

...

Michael and Brick Norty set out to buy birthday presents for Fein. They browsed through various stores but had a hard time finding something suitable for him. Brick Norty suggested buying something related to their field of research, but Michael disagreed.

"We can't just get him a research paper or a sample of bacteria for his birthday," Michael said with a laugh. "It has to be something meaningful and special."

Brick Norty nodded in agreement. They continued to browse the stores, looking for inspiration. After a while, they stumbled upon a small store that sold handmade crafts and artisanal goods.

"This looks promising," Brick Norty said as they stepped into the store.

The store was filled with various items, from hand-carved wooden figurines to woven tapestries. Michael and Brick Norty searched the store for something that would catch Fein's interest. After a few minutes of browsing, Michael spotted a small wooden box with intricate carvings on its surface.

"Look at this!" Michael exclaimed, picking up the box. "It's perfect! Fein could use it to store his special artifacts and trinkets."

Brick Norty examined the box and agreed that it would be a great gift for Fein. They paid for the box and continued their search for another gift.

After a while, they came across a small booth that sold custom-made jewelry. Michael and Brick Norty decided to buy a necklace that had a unique design that they knew would appeal to Fein's taste.

They purchased the necklace and wooden box and headed back to the lab to wrap the presents. As they wrapped the gifts, Michael and Brick Norty discussed their plans for Fein's birthday surprise. They wanted to make it a memorable event for him, and were excited to see his reaction to the gifts they had chosen.

...

Fey and Voli worked tirelessly to set up the surprise for Fein's birthday. They carefully hung up streamers and balloons, each one placed with care and precision. As they worked, they chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company.

Meanwhile, Michael and Brick Norty worked on creating the perfect hiding spot. They peeked out from behind the door, making sure they weren't visible from the hallway. Their excitement was palpable, and they couldn't wait for Fein to arrive.

As the finishing touches were placed on the decorations, the team stood back to admire their work. It looked amazing, and they knew that Fein would be thrilled.

Soon, they heard footsteps approaching. It was Fein. As he entered the room, he was caught off guard by the decorations and the banner that hung across the wall. The team jumped out from behind the door, shouting "Surprise!" in unison.

Fein was stunned for a moment, but then a huge smile spread across his face. He was touched by the effort his friends had put in to make his birthday special. They hugged and laughed, sharing stories and jokes as they enjoyed the celebration.

Fein thanks everyone for the wonderful surprise and expresses his appreciation for the effort they put in to make his birthday special. He especially thanks Michael and Brick Norty for their thoughtful gift and asks them how they came up with the idea.

Michael and Brick Norty explain that they wanted to give Fein something that he would truly enjoy and appreciate, so they decided to create a personalized book that showcased his adventures and accomplishments. They included stories, pictures, and sketches of his triumphs over the witches and other dangerous creatures they had encountered together.

Fein is touched by the gesture and flips through the pages of the book, admiring the attention to detail and the effort that went into creating it. He thanks Michael and Brick Norty once again and says that he will treasure the book forever.

The group continues to chat and laugh, enjoying each other's company and the festive atmosphere. They eat pizza and drink soda, sharing memories and making new ones. As the night winds down, they start to say their goodbyes, but Fein insists that they all stay a little longer and play some games.

As they all enjoyed their pizza and drinks, the group shared stories and jokes, reminiscing about past adventures.

"So, Fein, any new spells you've been working on?" Michael asked, taking a sip of his soda.

Fein grinned mischievously. "Actually, I've been working on a spell to make pizza taste like steak."

Brick Norty raised an eyebrow. "You're wasting your time, Fein. Pizza is already perfect the way it is."

Fey chimed in. "But imagine, pizza that tastes like steak. It would be the best of both worlds!"

Voli nodded in agreement. "And if anyone could make it happen, it would be Fein."

Fein chuckled. "I'll keep working on it, but until then, I'll stick to the classic pizza flavor."
