So... Steve's birthday is the fourth.

Anybody up for throwing the little guy a party?

Wow, that's weird, America's birthday is that day too! It's a good thing he's not here otherwise he'd probably kind of hog the attention a little...

What kind of desserts does Steve really like?

[ontheropes]

Give him a pie and he's happy. Apple is is favorite, but he'll eat anything.

[sunflowersister]

Well then if there's a party, would you mind if I brought some apple pie?

[icanbuyafez]

A birthday party? Excellent!

I could make the cake!

[ontheropes]

Go for it! Can't have too many desserts, right?

[icanbuyafez]

Quite right! It is literally impossible.

I've tried before, you know.

[vdova]

I think that's a great idea.

[ontheropes]

Gonna get your dear Captain a gift?

[vdova]

I'm not sure what to get him, to be honest. Any suggestions?

[knifed]

Oh, lovely, another annoying American with an annoying birthdate.

[ontheropes]

...can I help you?

[knifed]

No.

I've been working on getting the kitchen up to par. Barring any... malfunctioning appliances.. everything should be good to go.

Any preferences, as far as dinner goes?

[ontheropes]

I'm still a bit blown away by the coffee machine, so I wouldn't notice if something exploded when it wasn't meant to.

Steve is frustratingly easy to cook for, so I think you'd be safe with whatever you'd like to make.

[stretchy_pants]

HICCUP? It's harmless. Or.. as harmless as any of Tony's machines tend to be. [Yes, the coffee maker has a name.]

All right. I think I'll manage to whip something up.

[billionairephilanthropist]

HICCUP is a perfectly safe and friendly machine. It hasn't exploded since 3.0

I was going to suggest hiring some American flag strippers but I would prefer not to be castrated by Peggy.

I'm always down for a party, though. The Towers' 2.5 Floor is finished with the remodeling. It's big, open, and has excellent acoustics.

We could give old capsicle a taste of home.

[ontheropes]

[ He's choosing to ignore that first sentence for his own sanity. ]

That... sounds pretty impressive, actually. If you wanna make it big and fancy, go for it. Out of anybody, Steve deserves it.

[billionairephilanthropist]

Oh, I'm recruiting you to help, Bullwinkle. I don't have my usual research resources at my disposal and no one knows the time like the pair of you.

[therightpartner]

[You should know better than to mention her name, Stark...]

Actually I would have been aiming for your kneecaps but if you insist...

[therightpartner]

[Peggy can't help smiling at the reference to 'the little guy'] And how exactly are you planning on getting him to the party without his shyness getting the better of him?

[ontheropes]

Surprise party! Figured I'd lead Steve away for a bit until everything gets set up and then head on back with him. I'm fully prepared for him to turn about twenty different shades of red though.

[therightpartner]

And hold him down when he tries to make his escape?

[mindoirsurvivor]

Count me in.

There's another Earther holiday that day too, isn't there? I remember it got a little loud last year.

[ontheropes]

Yup, American Independence Day. I'd be surprised if it hadn't been loud.
