She have always dreamt of celebrating her birthday at the seven star hotel amusement park and today her dream is finally going to come true. Her parents have bought the entire amusement park for a day to celebrate her birthday. She quickly gets dressed and rushes down and is wished by both the families but she doesn't see Jack among them. After her favorite breakfast she rushes upstairs to her room and start to call jack but he doesn't pick up the calls. She becomes really sad but soon she's joined by her best friends Clara and Sammie. They hang around for a little while helping her with her presentation for the party. 

It's evening and still there's no sign of Jack, and jean becomes sad and leaves for the venue. Suddenly she gets a call from Jack. 

Jack : hi Jean! Mmm

Jean: why were you not picking up my calls or not replying to my texts, anyway there's no time for the reason just head to the venue cause we all the left for the party. 

Jack : im sorry but I called up to say that I won't be able to attend the pary

Jean : What!? Jack it's no time for pranks. You know I've always dreamt of this celebration and how important it is to me and how important your presence is important on my birthday and we never miss each others birthday no matter whatever the reason is. 

Jack : Jean I'm really sorry but I have to visit the doctor or else I might even go blind 

Jean : but you were alright all these days, come on Jack no time to play around 

Jack : I'm serious Jean 

Jean : you alright jack? What happened 

Jack : it's like whenever I close my eyes it's all dark and I can't see anything 

Jean : WHAT! Jack you should have found some good excuses to not attend my birthday or you could have told me directly, you shouldnt gave gone for something lame like this. 

Jean cuts the call and she's really angry and sad at the same time 

They soon arrive at the amusement park and Jean to her surprise is welcomed by her all time celebrity crush . She feels like she's in a fantasy and this would have been her best birthday ever only if jack was also there. 

Celebrity crush : (sings happy birth day for jean) Happy Birthday !

Jean : Mom, Dad thanks a lot this is the best gift ever, I never thought I would be able to meet him

Mom : but jean we never invited him darling 

Jean : what are you serious mom!? 

Mom: yes dear

She asks every one and she gets the same reply but she doesn't let her mind wander in this thought and she goes into the conference hall for the rest of celebrations. Where she's received by Jack. On seeing Jack she runs to him and hugs him .

Jack : Happy Birthday jean! Did you enjoy my present?

Mom : OK then

They start opening the presents one by one, Jean gets a lot of cash, new designer clothings and a lot of accessories

Jack : yeah so we are done with all the presents right

Jean: yeah kinda I guess

Jack : OK then let's go to bed like aunt said

Jean : but jack don't you have any other presents for me? Or did u forget that we usually give each other secret presents at the end of the day.

Jack: No I actually have a real special gift but I don't know if you will like it

Jean : you are the only person who knows what's the best for me, how could you even think like that!?

Jack: ok then, let's go to the balcony

Jean follows him

Jean:(excited) look at the moon it's pink on colour and the sky is filled with stars .

Jack slowly takes out the box and takes out the beautiful star gazer bracelet that's made with a lot of precious stones. It has a cute little pink heart at the middle with both of their pictures and on each stone it's engraved "I love u" . Jean is amazed by the gift and she wears it.

Jean : this is so beautiful

Jack : thanks

As jean studies the bracelet carefully she comes across the engravings

Jack's and jean's heart start to beat fast

Jean : even I have loved you too this whole time

And Jack on hearing those words pulls her into a passionate kiss.

However jack and jean doesn't realise the pink heart shining as the pink heart is no simple stone it's made of a very rare stone that shines when there's true love.

Jean: this is indeed the best birthday and birthday gift ever

And they kiss even more passionately

Heart stone : Jack and jean are unaware about the adventures of love they are gonna take as a serious relationship is always a difficult one. Their relationship can either break or last forever, if their relationship breaks then I'll also get destroyed along with it if it doesnt break then I have one more opportunity in spreading the hopes of true love.
