Animalia ComicCon was shaken up rather vigorously, and rightly so since it was now Animalia's fourth birthday. While the expected giant cake was surprising to the many visitors, it was actually quite standard for Animalia. While it didn't halt the ComicCon completely, it did cause some unusual things.

Perhaps the most unusual thing that happened was from Heiya Island and the girls that had been rescued. They managed to enjoy everything, but it was when they encountered Animalia's birthday cake that things got unusual. While they were indeed surprised by the size, it was their reaction to eating it that was both confusing and noteworthy, since many of them seemed to have religious experiences from just one taste of cake.

Once the lockdown on Animalia Air was lifted, Ulysses and Blueberry were able to head home. Nate was really amazed to see how built his father now was, but now that they were home, Shuixing and Nate would be able to travel to Heiya Island, not only for Shuixing and Nate to meet the girls that had been rescued, but also for Shuixing to "show off" Nate to her sisters. Shuixing was looking forward to both, but Nate was still having some trouble believing that 135 girls were now living on Heiya Island. Not only that, Huoxing had finally met the older brother of one of the rescued girls, and they were well on their way to "first date status".

Possibly the best "part" of the celebration was the one that was held at the Meat Market, with free-flowing alcohol. This was the source of many of the unusual things that happened. Most of the time it was nerds attempting to flirt with Animalians and learning that Huniepop was simply not applicable to real life.
"Can't say I blame them for trying." said Gazette, as another guy who tried, and failed to flirt with her, went off in clouds and darkness.
"I know," said another nerd who was a little wiser, but not by much, "Huniepop was deemed so risque that Twitch actually banned people from streaming it on their website."
Later in the evening there was an amateur strip contest at the Meat Market, which had one of the best "scenes" to happen there, and generate another Animalia-themed meme. While Nicole was one of the top dancers there, it was her mother who both stole the show and won the contest, much to Nicole's shock and embarrassment, and to the amusement of those who witnessed it.

The final funny thing was from Anton's first official gathering for Project White Lily. After the initial meeting, Anton showed them the successful first group of the Project, and apparently they had chosen the song 100K (Joseph William Morgan Remix) by Goodbye Tomorrow for their "showcase". While the choice of song was a little surprising, especially for Anton, it did have the effect of motivating the new members, especially since Mae West II and Aleta had accompanied Esteban and Buford.
