Transcript
Nix is seen sleeping before suddenly waking up, he gets out of bed, revealing he slept in his regular clothes instead of pajamas. Nix looks at Jayna for a few seconds before it suddenly cuts to him running downstairs. After the final "birthday" he slides in front of the entrance to the kitchen, expecting to see his cake. However, there is nothing there. Maximus comes up behind Nix. Nix follows Maximus into the throne room where he sees all of his friends who live in the castle waiting for him. Jack hands Nix some money. Bartholomew hands Nix a white scaly toe. Desmond hands Nix a necklace. Charlotte hands him a green scarf. Charlotte hands him a music box. Charlotte kisses Nix on the cheek before walking off. Maximus hands Nix a book. Rolf hands Nix a fish in a bag.
 * Nix: It's my birthday!!!
 * Jayna: How did your scarf not move an inch while you were asleep?
 * Nix: Birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday!
 * Nix: Huh?
 * Maximus: I know, I know, you're very excited but its a tradition in the castle to keep a squire's cake hidden until the end of the day on their birthday.
 * Nix: What sick joke is this?
 * Maximus: Oh hush up and follow me, everybody's waiting to give you your presents.
 * Everybody: Happy birthday!
 * Nix: Daww, you guys all got my presents?
 * Jack: Actually I forgot this was happening so I got you this.
 * Nix: Oh... well, it's the thought that counts. Honestly, I expected you to forget, no offense.
 * Bartholomew: And I got you this!
 * Bartholomew: It's the toe of a Farunkenheim! it's said to bring you good luck!
 * Nix: Thanks.
 * Desmond: My wife and I got you this!
 * Nix: Huh?
 * Roselyn: It's traditionally given by sheep to symbolize their friendship with someone.
 * Nix: Oh, neat, thanks!
 * Charlotte: And I got you this!
 * Charlotte: I thought the old one was a little tacky.
 * Nix: My mother gave me this scarf.
 * Charlotte: Oh... oh dear... well, it's a good thing I got you this too.
 * Charlotte: It's a replica of the one you delivered to me when we first met.
 * Nix: Nice.
 * Charlotte: You're welcome!
 * Nix: I feel like she knows and she's just teasing me at this point...
 * Maximus: What?
 * Nix: Nothing.
 * Maximus: Okay... well, here's your gift from me.
 * Nix: Oh, "Starting Small, A Story of Triumphs and Loses by Maximus Atkinson"! this is your book! you know, I've been meaning to read it but... I don't get paid... so...
 * Maximus: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
 * Rolf: I got you this!
 * Rolf: Its name is Greg. I think anyway, the guy who sold me it had a pretty big speech impediment.
 * Nix: I’ll just name him Greg then.
 * Maximus: Now, sit down for story time.
 * Nix: What?
 * Maximus: Well after the presents and the cards there's not much to do so to pass the time we decided to tell you stories about ourselves!
 * Nix: Oh, neat, I always wanted to know more about you guys!
 * Maximus: I know, that's why I thought it'd be a good idea!
 * Nix: So, who's going first?
