POSIEDON POV
Today is the children's birthday. There going to have a surprise party. Do you know how hard it is to keep a secret from a 4-year-old. Who knows when your lying to them or avoiding them? Ahhh! I just have to last another 5 minutes and, then we go to Aphrodite's salon to get them dressed up for the party. Oh here comes Percy. "Daddy, daddy, daddy, what are you hiding from me?" He asked, giving me the puppy dog eyes. "Nothing. Percy. Oh Percy look at the time we have to get you to Aphrodite's salon." I said. "Why?" Percy asked. "Because." Is all I said. "Cover your eyes." I said. He did so. Over the years I've covered his eyes,
Until he decided to cover his own eyes. He grows up to fast. A few seconds later were in the middle of a salon. "Aunt dite!" Percy exclaimed. That was the kids nick name for her. They nick name all the gods. Can they get any more cute? "Bye Percy I have to go. All see you later." I said. "Bye Daddy." Percy said. And with that I walked out of the salon.
ZEUS POV
It's the kid's birthday. Thalia is so persistent in what I'm hiding. "What are you not telling me?" Thalia said. "Thalia, sweetheart I am not hiding anything." I said, as calm as I can. "I know your hiding something." Thalia said. "Thalia we have to go. Come on." I said. "Were are we going?" Thalia asked. "Aphrodite's salon." I said. "What! I am not going there." Thalia said, and ran of. "Thalia! Come here!" I screamed. "NEVER!" Thalia screamed. "I was just kidding were not going to Aphrodite's salon." I said. That worked.
"Were not?" She asked. "We're going to...Some were its a surprised." I said making it sound dramatic. "Grab my hand cover your eyes so we can flash to the surprise." I said. She did as I said. And I flashed over there. "There here! Look Percy, Thalia is here." Said a female voice I assume was Aphrodite. "Hi Thalia." Percy said. "Ha, Percy." Thalia said. I better get out of here before she does some thing rash . "Well I got to go. Bye Thalia, bye Percy, bye Aphrodite." I said as I was walking out of the salon.
HADES POV
Today is the kids surprise party. "PAPA! PAPA!" A screaming little boy said running up to me. "Nico!" I screamed. "I'm bored." Nico said simply. "Why don't you go get Alecto for me." I said. "Okay. ALECTO!" He ran of screaming. What am I going to do?How am I going to drag him to Aphrodite? I got it ill-"SCREEEEEEEEE!" some thing yelled. Oh no. "Papa, I caught Alecto." Nico said, coming in with Alecto tied up, and him dragging her in to the throne room.
"How did you...?" My voice trailed of as I saw, one of my hell hounds also tied up. Please tell me his powers aren't showing. Oh no I have to talk to the council. "Untie them we have to leave." I said, keeping my voice even. "Okay." Nico said. He untied them. "Were are we going?" Nico asked. "We are going to meet Percy, and Thalia , some we're." I said. "Oh, okay lets leave." Nico said excited. I grabbed his hand. "Cover your eyes." I said. He did so. And, I flashed to the salon. "Hello Hades. Hello Nico." A female voice said behind us said. "Aunt Dite? we're Percy and, Thalia?" Nico said. "Right here." To little voices said from behind Aphrodite. "Hello Thalia, Percy." I said. "Hi." Thalia said. "Ha." Percy said. "Bye Nico, I have to go." I said smiling at him. Okay I know what your thinking the lord of the dead smiling. Well wouldnt you be smiling if one of the most cutest children you have ever seen smile at you? "Bye papa." Nico said. And, with that I walked out of the Salon.
APHRODITE POV
"Okay kids who wants to go first?" I asked. They looked at each other, and pushed Percy to the front. "Ha!" Percy yelled. "Come on Percy." I said. Oh they are just so cute. "Dryads can you come play with the kids?" I asked. All of a sudden 4 elvish looking people appeared. "Keep them from any trouble please." I said. They nodded. "Okay, Percy lets start with your hair." First I trimmed his hair a little then I got some hair gel and made his hair look like those gentlemen from the movies.
"Can I see my hair now?" Percy asked. "Okay." I said, Its so hard to say no to them. "Oh my gods." Is all I you would hear from him. "Do you like it?" I asked. "Yes..." He said. "Good, now your outfit. I put a sea green t shirt, some shorts, and running shoes. "Okay, done. Nico your turn!" I screamed. "Coming." He said walking to me. I picked him up and put him in the chair besides Percy. I didn't do any thing to his hair.
It was already the way I wanted. So, I set to work on his clothes. First I put him in a black t-shirt with a skull on it. I put some black jeans, and black shoes. I put an avatar jacket on him with a skull on the back. "There all done." I said, he looked at him self and then shrugged. Like he didn't care I just changed his whole outfit.
"Thalia, its your turn" I said. Oh this will be fun. "Aww man!" She yelled. Yup this will be fun. I picked her up and put her next to Nico. Nico smiled at her. I could have sworn I saw her blush, maybe it was my imagination. Anyway I grabbed a silver dress, and some silver shoes. I snapped my fingers and it was on her. I put on some silverish shoes on her. And I put a little makeup on her. Hopefully Zeus doesn't notice. He is so agents Thalia wearing makeup.
I curled her hair. And, pulled it in to a pony tail. "You guys look so cute!" I screamed. "Thank you ant dite." They said in union. I smiled. "Your very welcome." I said. "Why are we getting dressed up?" Nico asked. "You'll see." I said. I grabbed their hands and moved them to the throne room. The lights turned of. I sneaked my way into the throne room. We heard the door open we turned the lights on and yelled "SURPRISE!" We were greeted with 3 small children smiling.
"Happy birthday!" Every one screamed. The look on their face was enough to make any one jump for joy. "Birthday?!" Nico shouted. "How could we have forgotten?" Percy asked. "Who cares. There's cake!" Thalia yelled. "Cake!" Percy and Nico both shouted in union. They started jumping. They are just a bundle of joy. And to think there the most powerful children of all time. sigh, what are we going to do when there older? Send them to camp? Kick them out of Olympus to fend for them selves? No! We'll have to talk about this.
APOLLO POV
"Can we open gifts?" Thalia asked. "How about you eat then you oipen your gifts. Is that okay Lord Zeus?" Said a calm, and gentle voice. I swear every one jumped. "Aunt Hesi!" The kids screamed and ran to her. "Hello kids." Hesitia said, hugging the children. "Of course." Zeus said nicely, oh my god my dad is not being over dramatic the world is ending. As if reading my thoughts Artemis smacked me. "What was that for?" I asked, rubbing my, now sore head.
"I read your thoughts." She answered like nit was the most obvious thing in the world Witch I guess it was with gods. After we finished eating. It was time for cake. When Athena brought the cake out. Every ones mouths dropped. It was a 6 layer cake that was black,sea-green, and blue. The first layer had an amazing design. With swirls of sea-green. The second layer was the same as the first except it was black. The third layer was the same except blue. The last three were mixes of patterns, with three simple colors. "Blue, black, and sea-green. I made the worst mistake ever. I blinked. When I opened my eyes the cake was gone. And, were the cake was were three children, with cake smeared on their face.
"What happened to the cake?!" Athena yelled/asked. "Forget the cake. What did you do to your clothes?!" Aphrodite asked/yelled. "Before you blast them lets open gifts." I said cheerfully. But, secretively I was mad I wanted some cake.
HERMES POV
"Open my gift first!" I yelled. There going to love my gift. "Witch one?" Nico asked. "The rainbow one." I said. "Rainbows?" Percy asked."Don't question it." I said. "Well should we open it?" Thalia asked. "What if it blows up?" Nico asked. They looked at each other. "Percy opens his first!" They yelled at the same time. Said boy rolled his eyes. "It's not dangerous." I said. He stepped over to it and picked it up. And then he tour it open to find a box. He opened the box to find a smaller box. He kept opening it until he got to the final box. "This better not be another box." Percy mumbled. He opened the small box to find a small plastic ring. "Uh, thanks Herm." Percy said. "You to open yours and all show you what it does." I said. Learning from Percy they tore it opened and skipped to the last box.
"What does it do?" Percy asked. Examining it. "Put it on." I instructed. They did so. "Good now imagine your behind your parents." I whispered so the other gods would not hear.
They smiled evil, knowing what I planned. These kids with my blessing could get away with anything. And, they already have my blessing so you get the point. They disappeared. I turned around and saw them behind the Olympians."Boo!" They coursed. They disappeared and came back before anyone notice. The Olympians freaked out. It was awesome.
Me and, the kids were laughing are butts of. The Olympians glared, figuring out are trick. The rest of the gifts weren't as cool as mine. Books, clothes, immune to insanity. Finally the gifts were over. The kids looked ready to fall asleep.
"Bed." Hesitia orders. They all yawned and left.
Aphrodite POV
Okay that was an amazing party! "Alright, everybody! Before you leave I am calling a meeting." Zeus said. "Hades stay." Zeus said when he saw Hades leaving. "Crud." He said. "What's the nearing about?" Apollo asked. "The kids." Zeus said. Every one smiled. Those children are bringing us closer as a family. "I want to ask a few questions. First Aphrodite what do you have planed for Thalia?" Zeus asked.
I laughed. "Father. That's a secret. I can't tell you. Because your going to try to stop it." I said. "Father, what do you think of Nico do Angelo?" I asked.
