B is for Birthday's
Nico's POV:
It's nearly Thalia's birthday and I don't know what to do! I could do a party, but last birthday I had a surprise party for her all she did was sit and do nothing. She didn't enjoy herself and she told me never to hold another party for her again so that was out of the question. I decided to go and ask Percy what I should do for Thalia's birthday. He would know what to do. I started walking to the Poseidon Cabin where I knew he would be with Tyson and Grover. They were always hanging out there. Maybe even Grover or Tyson might have an idea on what I should do for Thalia's birthday, Grover's got Juniper and Tyson's got Ella. I arrive at the Poseidon Cabin where Percy, Grover and Tyson are sitting in a circle on the ground talking. I knock on the door and I hear Percy yell out, "Come in." I walk into the Poseidon Cabin, here are two bed and a bedroom. Two of the beds are for Percy and Tyson, the bedroom is supposedly for Percy's sister, Kirsty. "Hey Nico, how can I help you?" Percy said. I replied, "I need to figure out what I can do for Thalia's birthday. A birthday party is out of the question because Thalia doesn't like birthday parties. Any suggestions?" Grover said, "What about wood pipes? Juniper loves my wood pipes." I said, "Umm… maybe not Grover but thanks for the suggestion." Tyson then said, "What about a new weapon? I see Thalia's bow is getting a bit old, you could help me make one if you'd like. I made Ella a knife so she could defend herself and she loved it." I then said, "That is an amazing idea Tyson! Do you really think you could help me make a new bow for her?" "Of course you could! Anyway, she'd love it if you made her a bow that she would be able to use in battle." Tyson said, "I'll meet you at the forges in half an hour and we can start." "Ok, thanks Tyson," I replied and left the Poseidon Cabin.
Tyson's POV:
I arrive at the forges at camp half an hour later after talking to Nico. Nico's standing with Leo and they are designing the bow that Nico is going to give Thalia. I walk up behind Nico and Leo and then said, "So, we ready to forge this bow?" Leo then says, "Yep, I've designed this bow very well with some input from Annabeth who just left. This bow is going to be the strongest bow at camp. There is going to be no other bow like this. Maybe only Apollo might have a better bow." I then said, "So what is this bow going to be made of?" Nico replied, "A mix of Celestial Bronze, Stygian Iron and Imperial Gold." I looked at Nico and Leo. How come they want all of the most strongest metals in one bow? Well I guess it is going to be the strongest bow. I then said to Nico and Leo, "Well I better get forging, Nico, Leo, I'm going to need your help forging this." They nodded and we went over to a vacant place to start forging this bow.
Nico's POV:
Several hours later and its dark. The dinner gong goes just as we finish forging and making the bow. It looks amazing. The bow has carvings on it in intricate detail of lightning bolts and you can see the colours from the celestial bronze, stygian iron and imperial gold. It looks amazing. As I am walking to dinner I say, "Thanks guys for your help." Tyson replies, "No worries Nico."
(Thalia's Birthday) Today is Thalia's birthday and I am nervous. I am nervous that she isn't going to like the bow. It looks amazing though with the mix of celestial bronze, stygian iron and imperial gold and the carvings. I walk out of my cabin with the bow behind my back and start walking to the Zeus Cabin where Thalia is probably sleeping. I walk in, she isn't awake yet. I walk over to her and whisper in her ear, "Happy Birthday Pinecone Face." She smiles and starts to wake up. I sit down on her bed. She looks up at me and says, "Thanks Death Breath." I then say, "Do you want your present now?" She sits up and says, "Ok Death Breath, what did you get me?" I then said, "I made it," and hand her the bow. She takes the bow and has a good look at it. I stand there nervously as she is examining it. She looks up at me and says, "Nico, this is amazing, thank you." She then kisses me. I then said, "It was made by only the finest metals, celestial bronze, stygian iron and imperial gold." She looks amazed. She then says, "This is the most amazing present ever." She leans over and starts kissing me, slow, passionate kisses. I think I just made this Thalia's best birthday ever.
