《Off Camera / A Treegan Love Story》What A Way To Celebrate
Advertisement
Today is my 31st birthday. I am lying awake in bed squinting at the sunlight steaming through the window when I hear footsteps coming into the bedroom. I turn towards the doorway and see Keegan carrying a tray with breakfast on it.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Troian, happy birthday to you!" He sings happily.
He climbs onto bed with me and hands me a tray which has orange juice, scrambled eggs and toast on it.
"Ugh...how am I 31 already?" I say jokingly. "This looks yummy!" I kiss him before starting to eat.
It has been almost two full days since filming has finished on Pretty Little Liars. We have enjoyed a lot of alone time. Although tonight for my birthday I was going to be spending my night with Ashley, Shay, Lulu, Lucy, Janel and Sasha. We are all getting tattoos of our characters initials on our shh finger. It was our way to celebrate the end of PLL and afterwards we are going out for my birthday dinner and Keegan, Ian, Tyler along with my brother Nick and his girlfriend India will be joining us.
As I'm eating my breakfast I notice Keegan reaching for a small white box out of the corner of my eye.
I briefly stop eating as he places the white Pandora box in my hand.
"You didn't have to." I tell him.
"I wanted to. I love you. Happy birthday." He replies with a smile. I kiss him before opening the box.
After removing the top and unwrapping the tissue paper around it, I see there is a silver pandora bracelet with a black dog, a black cat and a gold dog on it, to represent all of our pets.

"It's perfect!" I say in excitement. We hug and kiss before I go back to eating my breakfast.
"I'm really happy you like it!" Keegan replies.
Later on that day...
When Troian enters the restaurant with her friends, I smile and walk over to her with a bouquet of red roses. Behind me is Ian with his girlfriend Sophie, Tyler, Brendan and Nick (Troian's younger brother along with his girlfriend India).
Ashley, Sasha, Janel, Shay and Lucy come in with Troian along with Sasha's fiancé Hudson.
"These are for you." I say to Troian as I hand her the flowers. She beams as she takes them from me and gives me a kiss.
"Thank you."
"The rooftop bar is reserved for everyone, so we should head up there now." I announce to everyone. I take Troian's hand and we all start making our way up the stairs.
Everyone makes themself comfortable on the various leather sofa and chairs that are up here. Troian leans in close to me and orders a drink when the server approaches us.
Troian looks amazing tonight. She changed into a black lace romper, and put on some red lipstick.
A few minutes later I hear someone approach us. I tap Troian on the shoulder and she turns around.
"Mom!" She gets up and runs over to her mom Deborah.
"Hi honey. Keegan invited me." She tells Troian.
Troian and her mom come over to sit down beside me.
"Thank you." She says as she wipes away tears from her eyes.
The night is going by fast. We spend it dancing away, having a lovely dinner, drinking wine and talking and more dancing.
Keegan is sitting down on the couch and I go over to him and grab his hand.

"Dance with me?" I ask him in my best begging voice.
"For you of course I will." He gets up and all of a sudden I recognize a song that the DJ is about to play. Everything Now by Arcade Fire.
I start dancing away and so does Keegan and everyone else.
"Mom! You have to get up and dance to this! You're not sitting this out." After my mom rolls her eyes she comes over and joins everyone on the dance floor.
After we all finish dancing we all make our way back to sit down. A three tier chocolate cake is wheeled out and my friends along with with my mom and brother and my brothers girlfriend sing happy birthday to me.
When the singing dies down I realize I haven't shown Keegan something yet.
"How do you like my tattoo?" I say showing him my finger with my S tattoo on it.
"I like it. Maybe I should get Troian and Keegan tattooed somewhere private?" Keegan replies with a sexy voice in my ear.
I laugh and roll my eyes and then I pull Keegan in for a kiss.
"I love you dork!" I say to him.
It doesn't take any of us very long to finish eating our cake. As I look around I can't help but smile at all of my friends and family who are here to celebrate with me tonight.
Three hours later...
We get in our car to head home. It has been a long but fun night. I try to stop myself from falling asleep as we pull into our driveway without much success.
As soon as I enter the bedroom with Keegan I lay down on the bed and watch as Keegan climbs in next to me. I move closer to him and cuddle up to him. I breathe in the scent of his calogne and it instantly makes me want him.
I lie in bed awake with Troian for a little while. We turn towards each other and smile as we look into each other's eyes.
"There's one more present for you." I tell her and she looks excited.
"What is it?" She replies.
"There's a stage play in New York. We're going next weekend. Nick and India are going to stay over and watch the dogs and Dan."
Troian sits up looking ready to ask a ton of questions in true Troian style.
"Before you ask me anything. All I'm telling you is that it's at St. Ann's wearhouse in Brooklyn. The rest is a surprise."
She nods her head and leans over to kiss me.
"You know the way to my heart. I love you. Thanks for an amazing birthday!"
"I love you too. I don't know about you but I'm tired. What do you say we..." Troian jumps off the bed and heads to the bathroom. Thinking she's getting ready for bed, I take off my clothes and shut my eyes.
All of a sudden Dan jumps up onto the bed waking me up. When I catch Troian out of the corner of my eye looking damn hot in sexy lace lingerie.
"Whoa!" I reply. "You look..." I'm not at a loss for words but I can't stop admiring how sexy she looks that all the things I want to say to her just escapes my mind.
"My birthday isn't over until I make love to my man." Troian whispers in a sexy voice in my ear.
Damn.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
