TTNG: New Team
Chapter 10: Birthdays, Teasing, and Siblings.
Arachne walked down the hall feeling a little hurt. Today was her seventeenth birthday, and no one seemed to remember. It wasn't like this on her sweet sixteen. Everyone threw a HUGE party for her and her brother Peter. Yes, I said brother. Twin to be exact. It wasn't the fact that she had no party that she was depressed. It was the fact that she hadn't seen her little (by five minutes) brother for over a year. He'd gone solo in Miami about a week after their birthday. she'd heard from him, but it just wasn't the same as seeing him in person. She sighed and headed for the opps room.
Soon enough, she realized that she hadn't seen anyone all day. Not even Percy her best friend! Something was weird. She turned away from the opps room, and checked everyone rooms. No one was there. She checked the training room (where Sunfire was constantly). Empty. She even checked her room. She didn't see anyone there, but she did see something. Her room was different.
All her trophies were on a shelf that went around her room, her Star Wars figurines were on a giant book shelf (with no books. Just figurines), and all her posters (Ice Skating, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jonas Brothers, and Carrie Underwood) were on her wall. All the things she'd wanted to do, someone had done for her. And she had a pretty good idea who it was.
"Percy!" she called. She ran into the opps room, and it was totally dark. She turned on the lights and her ear drums nearly burst.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" her friends all yelled. Arachne started grinning like an idiot. Then she pasted a glare on her face.
"Which one of you re-did my room?" she asked threateningly. Everyone pushed Percy forward. He looked down at his shoes and scuffed his shoes on the floor. He was completely expecting her to throw him out the window. But instead, she ran up and hugged him so tightly he couldn't breath.
"Can't. Breath." he squeaked. She let go.
"Sorry. But that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me." she smiled.
"I wouldn't say that yet." Sunfire said. Ari looked confused.
"Why not?" she asked. Sunny smiled.
"Because your boyfriend here got you one more thing-" she said.
"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" Ari yelled.
"I'M NOT HER BOYFRIEND!" Percy yelled at the same time as Ari. Sun ignored them.
"-but we should save that one for last." she finished.
"Hey! How long exactly do you expect me to hold on up here?!" a very annoyed voice said from above. Ari looked up to see her twin brother on the ceiling. Her grin was so wide it was a wonder her face was still intact. He lowered himself down from the ceiling with webs.
"Hey sis!" Peter exclaimed.
"Pete! How's Miami?" she asked hugging her twin. He shrugged.
"Chaotic. You know how it is. It's Summer. Hurricane season. You would not want to be there right now." he shuddered.
"Where's Dad?" she asked.
"He couldn't make it. He wanted to, but mom's in another play. But he wanted me to give you this." Pete said pulling out two envelopes and giving one to Ari. He opened the other one. He already knew what was in hers, so he plugged his ears.
"I suggest you cover your ears." Pete whispered to the boys. They all did. Ari took them. She read them and let out a huge scream.
"THREE TICKETS TO THE JONAS BROTHERS CONCERT!" she screamed. Sunfire and LB started screaming too.
"I think I've gone deaf." Hex muttered.
"Yo Pete! You see that curtain over there?" Crow asked.
"Yeah."
"PULL THE ROPE!" Hex said (a bit loudly as if he couldn't hear very well).
"Hex, you keep yelling like that and I'll throw you out the window again." LB said never changing her tone. He completely shut up. Pete went over to the curtain and pulled a rope. The curtain went off to the side, and revealed another cake and present table for him. He knew this, because that side of the opps room wall decorated in sports decorations where as, Ari's side was decorated with Star Wars stuff.
"Woah! Thanks guys!" he exclaimed. LB grinned.
"Hey, don't thank us. Percy planned it all." she explained pointing to Percy who blushed slightly. Ari hugged him again.
"Hey Arachnid. Pete. Whatever you want us to call you. What's in your envelope?" he asked.
"Four Mariners tickets!" he declared. The boys high fived, and said things like "Sweet!" and "Awsome!".
"And both the concert and the game are this Saturday. In the mean time, we've got allot of catching up to do." Ari said. Everyone decided to go to the roof and catch up. But not before Percy gave Ari the complete Star Wars saga, and Pete gave her the Pirates trilogy. Both of which she had wanted for a long time. Then everyone headed toward the roof. Ari pulled Percy aside.
"Thank you. THAT, is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me." she said smiling.
"No problem. What are friends for?" Percy replied.
"Still. You got my brother here. That's the best present I've ever gotten." Ari explained. Then she kissed his cheek. They then herd some one humming the wedding march. They expected to see Hex, but it was Pete. Arachne chased after him blushing.
"Get back her little brother!" she yelled still running after him.
"Five minutes! You were born five minutes ahead of me!" he yelled back still running. He knew all too well what she was like angry.
Me: I am no longer at a loss for words!
All My Siblings: The world isn't ending!
Me: Shut-Up! Anyways, I know there was no mention of a twin in her story. While I was at camp, I was thinking how (almost) everyone is an only child. Well, I'm changing that! Arachne and one other Titans is going to have a sibling! I already know who it is. GUESS!
