Today, March 10th, 2019, is my 17th birthday.
Percy and Patrick were moving around to try and do something, but couldn't think of anything. Percy had a simple idea.
" Okay Patrick. I'm tired of running around. Just go tell Hailey that the necklace is not for her. " - Percy
" And what if she cries? " - Patrick
" Just hug her and tell her you're sorry. " - Percy
" Okay. If that's what you want me to do. " - Patrick
Patrick went back to the motel to tell Hailey the truth.
" I'll be in my shed. " - Percy
" Yeah, yeah. " - Patrick
Patrick went to Hailey's room and knocked on the door. Hailey opened it and smiled as she saw her great boyfriend, and still had the necklace around her neck.
" Their's my special guy. " - Hailey
" Yep. Here I am. " - Patrick
" I'm gonna show everyone this necklace. " - Hailey
" Everyone? Like engines too? " - Patrick
" Yep. " - Hailey
Patrick began to panic in his mind.
" Well anyways. I wanted to talk to you about that necklace. " - Patrick
He looked right in Hailey's eyes and she stared back. Patrick's mind began to change.
At Tidmouth, Percy was there watching as Ellie and Tyler were decorating for James's party later.
Percy stood there happy when he saw Patrick coming. Patrick had kiss marks all over his face.
" What happened? " - Percy
" Yeah. You're not getting that necklace back. " - Patrick
Percy stared at him and then screamed.
James was at the washdown and wanted to be the shiniest he's ever been to surprise Percy tonight. The people shining him up were considered the best workers at the washdown and they said they'd make James perfect.
After about maybe 20 minutes, the workers put a mirror in front of James to show him how good he looked.
" What do you think? " - Worker 1
" I look good. Handsome. " - James
" So are we done? Cause I gotta go. " - Worker 2
James looked at himself all around and had second guesses.
" I need to be more shiny. " - James
" Seriously. Your shinier than anything. " - Worker 1
" Just do it. One More time. I need to look the best I've ever been. " - James
" Fine. Last Time. Then we're done. " - Worker 2
They shined James all around one more time. James then closed his eyes and imagined the great times he was gonna have with Percy tonight.
Speaking of Percy, he was having the opposite of great times.
Back at Tidmouth, Percy was going back and forth through his shed for like 40 minutes complaining and yelling.
" Okay Percy. I think you made your point. " - Ellie
" What was your point? " - Patrick
" My point was, in 2 hours is the surprise party for James. And I need that necklace. What do I give him now? " - Percy
Patrick then pulled out of his pocket, the grapefruit from earlier, but it was all wrapped up.
" Surprise. " - Patrick
" Enough with the grapefruit! " - Percy
" Just get him something else. " - Ellie
" Their's no time. And If I don't get anything for James. He will totally snap at me. " - Percy
" Maybe you don't need to give him a present. " - Patrick
Ellie then went up and smacked in his arm.
" If I couldn't get Tyler anything for his birthday. I'd be afraid too. " - Ellie
" Fine. Just tell me what to do. " - Patrick
" You go tell Hailey that you're going to get the necklace decorated. And she'll give it to you. Then you give it back to me. Then tell her you'll give it back to her tomorrow. And by that, I mean you buy another gold necklace for her. And both of our lovers are happy. " - Percy
" I don't have enough money. " - Patrick
" I'll buy it, first thing tomorrow morning. " - Ellie
" Thanks Ellie. Go Patrick. Now! " - Percy
" Okay, I'm going. Away, super friend. " - Patrick
" Stop it! " - Percy
Patrick ran back to Hailey's room. He was sweaty from all this running he was doing. He knocked on her door again. Hailey opened it and saw her exhausted boyfriend.
" Are you okay? You look like you lifted weights for hours. " - Hailey
" No. I just remembered something. " - Patrick
" What. " - Hailey
" I thought. Maybe I could take that necklace and make it even more special. Like decorate it up. Just for you. " - Patrick
" You don't have to do that. " - Hailey
" Yes I Do. I need to make it more sparkly and put hearts on it, and make it say " to the most special girl ever. XOXO. XO. OX. " - Patrick
" You are so sweet. " - Hailey
She then took the necklace off and gave it to Patrick. He fist bumped the air.
" Thank you. And I'll have it back by tomorrow. " - Patrick
" What. It shouldn't take you that long. It should take a couple hours. " - Hailey
" Really? " - Patrick
" Yeah. In fact, James's party is in two hours, but I'm not gonna be there. So have it back to me exactly one hour after the party. No later. " - Hailey
She then closed the door, leaving Patrick standing there still. He had to give back the necklace after the party, or else Hailey would be mad or sad, maybe both.
He was still glad he got the necklace though. So he went back to Tidmouth and gave the great news to Percy.
" You got it! " - Percy
" Yes I did. And It's James, for one hour. " - Patrick
" What do you mean? " - Percy
" Hailey said she's wants it back an hour after James's party. " - Patrick
" James can only have the necklace for one hour! " - Percy
" Yep. " - Patrick
It was now time for the party. James obviously didn't know about it and so he went back to Tidmouth. Not knowing everyone was hiding and ready to surprise him.
He went up to his shed and realized how quiet it is.
" Why is it quiet and creepy? " - James
And then.
" SURPRISE! " - Everyone
Everyone came out of there hiding places and made James jump up.
" Whoa. Surprise indeed. " - James
" Happy B-Day Jamie. " - Jake
" We were planning this all day. " - Emily
" Wow. This morning you guys sounded all annoyed. " - James
" We were acting. " - Thomas
" We can't forget how special you are to us. " - Tyler
" Thanks. So who's the one who made this happen? " - James
" I think you know. " - Thomas
Percy came out of his shed and he was all decorated up just for James.
" Oh. I should've known. Their's my cute, adorable, fancy oak. " - James
Percy blushed very hard, he just loved when James called him his oak.
" That's right. And you're gonna have the best hour of your life. " - Percy
" Then let's shake it up! " - James
For that exact hour, everyone sang and danced for a while, and ate some cake and treats, yes, even the engines. James continued to boast about himself, while the others were annoyed, they want on with it. Once the hour up, Percy was ready for the big event.
" Okay everyone. Me and James would like to be here all alone. " - Percy
" You heard him. " - Thomas
" Let's go. " - Emily
Everyone left leaving Percy and James. Well, Percy needed someone to open the necklace case for him, so Ellie was hiding in Percy's cab.
" What's gonna happen. " - James
" Just wait. Ellie! " - Percy
Ellie came out of Percy's cab and held up the case.
" What is that? Show me. " - James
" Anytime. James, you are an amazing guy. Everyone says your vain, obnoxious, and not smart. But their are wrong, you are sweet, funny, and of course handsome. So please enjoy this. " - Percy
Ellie opened the case and showed James the gold necklace. James gasped very loud, he couldn't believe what he saw.
" Percy. It's beautiful. " - James
" Yes it is. Like you. " - Percy
Ellie took the necklace out and wrapped it around James's funnel. It fit perfectly.
" This is the best present ever. And I'm never taking it off. " - James
" Never? " - Percy
" Yep. Try and take it off me. Oh wait, you can't, you don't have arms. " - James
Percy laughed at that joke. But he was not okay with James not taking it off. Percy then looked to his right outside and saw Patrick jumping around telling him in sign language to give back the necklace.
" Oh James. That necklace is amazing. But it's all dirty and tarnished. " - Percy
" What do you mean? It's brand new. " - James
" Yeah. But this shed is all dusty and it covering the necklace up. " - Percy
" You sure? " - James
" Yeah. You don't want to have your brand new gold necklace all ruined, would you. It needs to stay all perfect and shiny like you. " - Percy
" I guess so. " - James
" Good. Ellie take it off. " - Percy
Ellie took the necklace off James's funnel. She then "accidently " dropped it on the ground.
" Oh sorry. Great, now it's even more dirty. " - Ellie
" Oh darn. Don't worry, she'll clean it up. And I'll have it back to you tomorrow. " - Percy
" Yeah. It'll take like 10 minutes to clean it up. Please do that. I need that necklace to stay splendid like me. " - James
" Okay. Be back in a bit. " - Percy
Percy and Ellie backed up and quickly went back to Tidmouth to find Patrick. Percy found Patrick and went up to him, not looking happy.
" Hurry, Hailey gets very impatient. " - Patrick
" Sure. Here you go. " - Percy
Ellie gave the necklace to Patrick. Patrick realized it was dirty.
" And it's yours. For 10 minutes. " - Percy
" What! I can't give it back to Hailey and then take it away from her after 10 minutes. " - Patrick
" Good. Ellie take it back. " - Percy
Ellie took the necklace back from Patrick quickly.
" You never should've given her the necklace in the first place. " - Percy
" Yeah. Well you shouldn't have forgotten James's birthday. " - Patrick
He then took the necklace back from Ellie.
" Hey. Percy's relationship is way more important than yours. " - Ellie
" Whatever. I deserve to have this necklace. Trains shouldn't wear them. " - Patrick
" Give it back! " - Percy
" No. " - Patrick
Ellie then grabbed the necklace from Patrick's hand, but he held onto it hard.
" I don't want to be a terrible boyfriend. " - Patrick
" I don't want to be a terrible and selfish boyfriend. " - Percy
" Hailey's very desperate. " - Patrick
" James's very stubborn. " - Percy
Ellie and Patrick kept on pulling the necklace back and forth, and before you know it, the necklace BROKE right in half.
" We're bad boyfriends! " - Percy and Patrick
The other engines and drivers went back to Tidmouth to see what was going on.
" They're probably sucking faces again. " - Gordon
" Don't be rude. " - Emily
The others all saw that James was all alone in his shed. All shiny and decorated up too.
" What's going on. Where's Percy? " - Edward
" I don't know. He gave me my present and then Ellie dropped it on the ground and they both went back to fix it. And they have been gone for 20 minutes. I said 10 minutes! " - James
" Well that's rude. " - Jake
" What did he get you? " - Emily
" A gold necklace. It was all shiny and new. But he said it was all dirty. Which I'm not sure it was. " - James
" Necklace? " - Hailey
She came into the conversation. And heard most of it.
" Did you say that Percy gave you a gold necklace? " - Hailey
" That's right. " - James
" Well. Patrick gave me a gold necklace as well and then took it from me. " - Hailey
" You don't think? " - James
" Let's go find them. " - Hailey
Patrick and Ellie were in the motel trying to fix the necklace. Percy was at the window watching, panicking.
" Okay with this super glue and very firm laxative. The necklace should be perfectly fixed. " - Patrick
He and Ellie grabbed each end of the necklace and picked it up and the necklace just fell apart again. The "super" glue did nothing.
" Now what! " - Percy
" Well, it's safe to say that we went from super friends to really bad boyfriends. " - Patrick
" Yeah we are. " - Percy
" No, you're not. " - Hailey and James
The trio heard those voices and looked to see Hailey and James standing there, not looking mad at all.
" Why aren't we? " - Percy
" And why are you here? " - Patrick
" I'm gonna go now. " - Ellie
Hailey and James went closer to their boyfriend.
" We figured it out. " - James
" Oh. " - Patrick and Percy
" And you saw how much I loved that necklace and didn't want to tell me it wasn't mine. That was very sweet of you. " - Hailey
" Yeah. I didn't want you to be sad. " - Patrick
" I wouldn't have been. Hey, I didn't give a present for our anniversary. " - Hailey
Patrick laughed and realized it was true.
" And as for you. " - James
Percy gulped and started to shake.
" You may have forgotten what day my birthday was. You still did everything you could to make me happy. And that's why you are an amazing guy. " - James
" Well. It was an exhausting day. " - Percy
" Just know, i'm not mad at you. " - James
" Neither am I. " - Hailey
" Yeah, but we kinda of ruined your present. And I bought only one necklace. " - Patrick
" No, you got us both bracelets. " - James
" Huh? " - Percy
Then the two realized that the broken necklace was now two bracelets.
" You're right. " - Patrick
" So. Why don't we go have fun on our anniversary/birthday. " - Hailey
" Yeah we should. " - James
" Okay. Let's do it. " - Percy
Patrick then put the two bracelets on Hailey's arm and James's left buffer.
" Yeah. You should fix these tomorrow. " - James
" We will. As super friends. " - Percy
Patrick smiled at his super friend and the two had a crazy day, and both of their lovers ended up happy after all.
James and Percy spent the rest of the day going to their favorite places and played games, and spent the night in their shed, being all lovey and kissing all night long.
Patrick and Hailey had a nice romantic dinner and went out to a movie and had a great night as well.
Percy and Patrick went from having a bad day to a great day. Cause they were super friends.
That's the end of this short special story for my birthday. Again, wish me a happy birthday. The next story will be another James and Percy one and should be out next week, I hope.
See you guys later. Please like this story, leave a review if you want. Love, Ethan.
