00:00Hi, I'm Darby.
00:01Yes, that's right, I am named after the doll,
00:03but please like and subscribe anyway.
00:05I was named Darby by my mom, who collected and sold dolls.
00:08But if you think that's bad, my older sister
00:11was named Raggedy Ann.
00:13To save the embarrassment, she goes by Ann.
00:15Four years ago, my parents wound up in a coma
00:17in a freak doll accident.
00:19They were driving to an MSA convention
00:21to display their very valuable collection.
00:23But then one of the AI dolls malfunctioned
00:25and decided it wanted to drive.
00:27My parents swerved off the road and got
00:29into this crash.
00:30We sued the doll company and sold our doll collection.
00:33We became super rich, although I would give it all up
00:37to have my parents back.
00:38I was only 12 at the time, but my sister was 18,
00:40so she became my legal guardian.
00:42My sister was always too busy with college and work,
00:45but I would visit my parents all the time
00:47and tell them about my day.
00:48The doctor said it was possible that they could still hear us
00:51and talking to them might help their recovery.
00:53Now that I was turning 16, I really
00:55wanted a big bash for my birthday.
00:57Oh, did I mention that my birthday is on Halloween?
01:00Some of you might think, that's lame
01:01to have to share your birthday with the world,
01:03but I love to wear something Halloween-y all year round.
01:07And when October comes around, I start decorating
01:09on the first of the month.
01:10However, it made things difficult,
01:12as I always struggled to find a boy who was into me for me
01:15and not for my money.
01:17But as soon as they found out I loved Halloween
01:19and creepy dolls, they bolted like track stars out the door.
01:23But my bestie, Kian, was always there to cheer me up.
01:26Go ahead.
01:26I'll give you a minute to process that.
01:28Yep, no joke.
01:29Darby and Kian.
01:30But Kian is a girl.
01:31We did everything together.
01:33So of course it was a no-brainer that she would help
01:35me plan my birthday party.
01:36So you want a theme?
01:38Of course.
01:39Halloween.
01:40But I want it next level.
01:42Like, Hocus Pocus 2 meets Practical Magic.
01:44Candy Apple Stands with witches serving you.
01:46Dunk Tank for zombies.
01:47You know, like a typical Monday at school.
01:50What about hiring performers?
01:51We could have a haunted maze of horrors.
01:54And that would give all the lovers
01:55a chance to do that hold me, I'm scared move.
01:58Oh, you mean the move you're hoping to try on Peter?
02:01Peter was the boy I had been crushing on for two years.
02:04He wasn't like the other boys.
02:05He had tattoos and piercings, just like me,
02:08but still wore the latest fashions.
02:10You already know I have tried everything
02:12to get out of the friend zone.
02:13So desperate times, desperate measures.
02:15Well, OK.
02:16But just remember, if he's not into you, I say move on.
02:19Tell that to my achy, breaky heart.
02:21For the next few weeks, we turned my house
02:23into party planning central.
02:25We auditioned all kinds of performers
02:27and bought all the best party decorations.
02:29Marco!
02:30Polo!
02:31My sister always seemed allergic to fun.
02:33But right about that time, it got even worse.
02:36She was working on a big presentation
02:37for her marketing company.
02:39And it was constantly stressed and yelling.
02:41Darb, how am I supposed to get any work done
02:43with all these boxes in my way?
02:45If you hate your job, why don't you just quit?
02:47If you haven't noticed, we're rich.
02:48What you don't know about earned respect
02:50and not just being a rich kid could fill a thimble.
02:53Did she mean a pimple?
02:55Once we had done it all, it was time for a test run.
02:58Kian suggested we invited the local orphanage kids
03:01to come for an afternoon of fun.
03:02I love that idea.
03:03The next day, a van filled with kids from the orphanage
03:06showed up with their teacher.
03:07As they stepped off the bus, they shouted with joy.
03:10As she lined them up, one of the little girls
03:12grabbed the driver of the van by his arm.
03:14Weo, you come too.
03:16No, I'm just here to drive you.
03:18I'll just wait in the van for you guys.
03:20Hey, Weo, come on.
03:21Everyone's invited.
03:22As he walked out of the van, I noticed
03:24his clothes were worn, and he had a hole in his shoe.
03:27That's a great costume.
03:28You are totally selling the whole bum look.
03:30I'm not in costume, and my name is Leo.
03:33Oh, I, uh, what?
03:35Kian, you need me?
03:36Over there?
03:37I was so embarrassed.
03:38I ran over to tell Kian what happened.
03:40And then he said, it's not a costume.
03:42Is it a wonder why I'm single?
03:44Never mind that.
03:45Look who I invited.
03:46She pointed to Peter, who was walking in the door.
03:49Happy birthday, bestie.
03:51My heart did a flutter until I saw
03:53he had brought a bunch of girls with him.
03:55Why did he bring all those girls with him?
03:56Those girls have nothing on you.
03:58I'll distract them while you go say hi to Peter.
04:01Hey, glad you could make it.
04:02I see you brought some friends.
04:04Oh, my groupies.
04:06They heard about your haunted carnival
04:07and wanted to tag along.
04:08Oh, do you like haunted stuff?
04:10Not really.
04:11Oh, then carnivals?
04:13Rides and sugar make me sick.
04:15Oh, well, I'm glad you came anyway.
04:18In my mind, I saw this going more in a rom-com kind of way.
04:21Our eyes meet, and we are soulmates till the end of time.
04:24Not so much as a scene out of a disaster movie.
04:26But Kian just nudged me.
04:28Now's your chance.
04:29Walk him through the haunted maze of horrors.
04:31As we walked through, he was laughing
04:33at all the scary stuff.
04:34But just as we came to the hold me, I'm scared part,
04:36I prepared to jump into his arms.
04:38The clown leapt out, and Peter let out a scream
04:41and jumped behind me.
04:43I wasn't scared.
04:44I just thought you'd like to be scared,
04:46so I jumped behind you so you could get the full effect.
04:49You know, I'm a giver like that.
04:51I was really disappointed that my time with Peter
04:54didn't go as well as I had hoped.
04:55But when I saw that the kids had a blast
04:58and were leaving covered in candy and plastic spiders,
05:01it made my day.
05:02When I walked them back to the van,
05:03I watched as Leo carefully checked everyone's seat belt.
05:06And then the little girl handed him a lollipop.
05:09I saved this for you, Leo.
05:10Thank you, Lizzie.
05:11I'll save it forever because you gave it to me.
05:14I think she has a crush on you.
05:15I think she's just using me because I
05:18have a driver's license.
05:19Then I heard Peter and the girls approaching.
05:22Hey, guys.
05:22Look at this performer.
05:24Are you one of the zombies?
05:25I watched as the smile faded from Leo's face,
05:28embarrassed from the state of his clothes.
05:30It was bad enough I made the mistake of his appearance.
05:33I wasn't going to let them do it either.
05:35Did you guys see the zombie dunk tank?
05:37They filled it with green slime.
05:38Cool.
05:39I'll meet you guys over there.
05:40I smiled and waved as Leo and the kids
05:42drove off the next day at school.
05:44All the kids had heard about the test run,
05:46and I was mobbed with everyone wanting
05:49an invitation to my party.
05:50Kian and I were so excited.
05:52This is going to be the most epic party of the year.
05:55No way.
05:56Of the century.
05:57We did a little praise celebration dance
05:59as I twirled around and bumped right into Peter.
06:02Hey, Darbs.
06:03I was going to bring you a gift for your birthday party.
06:05What do you think of this?
06:06Then he pulled a bow out of his pocket
06:08and put it right on his chest.
06:10I'll be your present, and you can unwrap me at your party.
06:13I almost swallowed my gum.
06:15Kian saw how I was struggling for words and jumped in.
06:18She's just saving her voice for the day of.
06:21You know how it is.
06:22He winked at me and walked away.
06:23Do not squeal until we get to the bathroom.
06:26I was on cloud nine the whole way home.
06:28But that was all about to change,
06:30because once I walked in the door, my sister rushed by me.
06:33Annie, I need to tell you the best news ever.
06:35Not now.
06:36I have to finish this presentation.
06:38The big bosses are coming to the house tomorrow,
06:40and I have to be ready.
06:41Oh, and you have to cancel your party.
06:43I can't have that going on when they're here.
06:45Excuse me?
06:46I must have misheard you, because I
06:48thought you said cancel my birthday party.
06:51That I've been planning for weeks
06:52and have half the school coming, too.
06:54You can just do it the day after.
06:55What's the big deal?
06:56I slipped out.
06:57How are we even related?
06:59I don't know, but I'm beginning to think you were adopted.
07:02You and your little friends have no respect for all the things
07:05I do around here.
07:06No one asked you for all those things.
07:07That's it, young lady.
07:09Go to your room.
07:09You are not my mother.
07:11I was so upset that I stormed out of the house
07:14and wandered around for hours until I wound up
07:16at the hospital.
07:17I sat down and told mom and dad everything that happened.
07:20I imagined that they would sit up
07:22and tell me that my sister was a jerk,
07:24and I should have my party anyway.
07:26Have my party anyway?
07:28After all, it's what they would have wanted.
07:30I was so excited to tell Key and the plan
07:32that I rushed out of their room and walked right into Leo.
07:35Oh, excuse me, I Leo.
07:37What are you doing here?
07:38One of the kids got appendicitis,
07:40and I was coming to bring him his favorite stuffed animal.
07:43He can't sleep without it.
07:44He looked over at my parents.
07:45Oh, I'm sorry.
07:46Are those your parents?
07:47Yeah, but my sister and I have kept it a secret
07:50because we didn't want it to be a story for the media.
07:53Well, your secret's safe with me.
07:55Do you have the van?
07:57I could use a ride home.
07:58It would be my pleasure.
07:59Much to my surprise, we talked the whole way
08:01home about everything from music to food to birthdays.
08:05I'm not sure when my birthday is.
08:07I was a safe haven baby.
08:09A what baby?
08:10You know, when a mom surrenders her baby anonymously
08:12at a safe haven location?
08:14I can't imagine how that must make you feel.
08:16Actually, I'm very grateful because it
08:19means she cared enough to try to give me a better life
08:21than the one she was living.
08:22But you live in an orphanage.
08:25My choice.
08:26I grew up in the system with very kind foster parents,
08:28and I want to show those kids that just because you're
08:31in the system doesn't mean it's all bad.
08:32Man, who raised this guy?
08:34Ma and Pa Kent?
08:35Just then, we pulled up to my house.
08:37You want to come hang out?
08:39I would, but I have to get the van back.
08:41You should come to my party tomorrow.
08:43I will definitely try.
08:44I was having such a good time with Leo.
08:46I almost forgot about Operation Have My Birthday Party,
08:49despite what my stupid sister says.
08:51The minute I walked through the door,
08:52Anne started in on me again.
08:54I expect this place to be in perfect shape
08:56when I bring my clients back here after work tomorrow night.
08:59Sure, whatever you say.
09:01Well, good.
09:02I'm glad to see you're finally acting like a responsible part
09:04of this family.
09:05Needless to say, as soon as she left the next day,
09:07Kian and I ushered in all of the performers, caterers,
09:10and staff to make my haunted carnival party perfect.
09:13The party was a hit.
09:15Everyone from school came, and I was hanging out
09:17with Peter all night and didn't even
09:19notice when Leo walked in.
09:21He came up to me and handed me a single daisy.
09:23Happy birthday, B.
09:24Oh, isn't that cute?
09:26Did you pick that up at the cemetery?
09:28You don't belong here, orphan boy.
09:30Then he shoved Leo into one of the fire performers,
09:33knocking them into the drapes, which caught on fire.
09:36I tried to find something to throw on the flames,
09:38but the blanket near me was made of flammable material,
09:40and it just got worse.
09:41People panicked and ran out of the house,
09:44and I kept looking around the house for something
09:46to put out the fire.
09:47But the smoke got really thick, and I felt dizzy.
09:50The last thing I remembered was hearing Kian call my name.
09:53She's in here.
09:54As I came to, Leo was carrying me out
09:56of the burning house in his arms and placed me
09:59in the ambulance.
09:59Peter came up to me, pushing Leo out of the way.
10:02Thank god you're OK.
10:03I was so worried about you.
10:05Kian came up behind Peter and gave him a piece of her mind.
10:08Worried?
10:09Really, because I'm pretty sure your entire groupie squad
10:12got you on tape, running for your life
10:14and screaming like a little baby.
10:16So why don't you just keep on running all the way home?
10:19Come on, babe.
10:20You don't really want your birthday
10:21present to leave, do you?
10:23Actually, it would be my greatest birthday present.
10:26I pulled him in close.
10:27If you would leave.
10:28Everyone laughed, and Peter stormed off.
10:31My sister pulled into the driveway,
10:33and when she saw me, she ran over,
10:35grabbing and hugging me tightly as she cried from happiness.
10:38Oh, thank god you're OK.
10:40I couldn't lose you, too.
10:41I was shocked.
10:42You're not mad?
10:43I ruined your meeting and disobeyed you.
10:46I acted like a supreme spoiled brat over a stupid party,
10:50and I burned down the house.
10:52But you are OK, and all that stuff is just stuff.
10:56After all, we are rich.
10:58Who are you, and what have you done with my sister?
11:02The paramedics checked me out and told me I was very lucky,
11:05but they still wanted me to go to the hospital
11:07to make sure I was OK.
11:08I looked down and realized I was still holding Leo's hand.
11:12He smiled at me.
11:13You sure know how to throw a party.
11:15You should be here for New Year's.
11:16I think I just might.
11:18I would like that.
11:19After the doctors told me I was OK and could go home,
11:21I went to tell my parents everything and apologize.
11:24Mom, Dad, I am so sorry.
11:27I wanted a birthday party so badly that I disobeyed Anne
11:30and burned the house down.
11:31But I'm going to be better, and I'm going to make you proud.
11:34Just then, my mom squeezed my hand.
11:37We are already proud of you.
11:38Wait, you burned down the house?
11:41I sobbed with joy as I hugged them.
11:43You're awake.
11:44The doctors came in and checked them out
11:46and couldn't understand how they had
11:47both awoken after all this time.
11:49It was because our daughter came and talked
11:52to us almost every day.
11:54It kept us hopeful and happy.
11:56You heard me?
11:57Oh, no.
11:58You heard everything?
11:59Yes, but don't worry.
12:00Your secrets are safe with us.
12:02Leo came to pick us all up from the hospital
12:04and bring us home, where he and Kian
12:06had arranged for a small welcome home party in the garage.
12:09It was the only part of the house that wasn't ruined.
12:12But all the kids offered their beds to you and your family
12:14because of how nice you were to them.
12:16So I was thinking, when we rebuild,
12:18maybe we can add a few extra bedrooms for all the kids
12:22at the orphanage to stay until they get adopted.
12:24I'd like to call it Daisy's Place in honor of you, Leo.
12:28I pulled the pressed daisy out of my pocket
12:30and showed it to him.
12:31He cupped the flower in my hand.
12:32I don't know what I have to offer you.
12:34I don't have money or a fancy car.
12:37I have enough of all that.
12:38You have the one thing, the only thing I need, you.
