A/N: Thanks for the reviews, and I'm sorry about the last sucky chapter. I am working on a bit of secret agent man slowly and have about half a chapter done. Anyway… I glad about the election yesterday! I'm anti George Bush by the way. (haha! I know that was four years ago). I don't like Romney though. Don't hate, just review! :P

14. Cookies

Today was Percy's 17th birthday and I was going to make it a special one. One thing that he absolutely loves is chocolate chip cookies. Blue chocolate chip cookies.

I was working with Tyson late at night to make the biggest cookie that would fit on the large cookie sheet.

"Give me the baking soda, Tyson." I pleaded and his meaty hands handed me a small orange box. I measured out a teaspoon while Tyson was whipping the mixture together.

"We should add PEANUT BUTTER!" He suggested. He clapped his four coated hands together, making a big flour cloud. His big brown eye was full of excitement but vanished soon after he saw my unsatisfied scowl. Which by the way was covered in white.

"Tyson, does the recipe call for that?"

"No, but we should! Brother would be excited."

"Just add the vanilla."

Once we added the chocolate chips, it was almost done. I was so excited. Percy was going to love it! He always thinks of great ways to surprise me and I was sure this one was going to knock him off his socks.

"Ok, let's put the food coloring in." Desperately, Tyson and I tapped the bottom of the blue bottles into the bowl. Tyson started mixing it and the blue blended into the dough. It made swirls as he whipped and I washed my hands.

*OFFICIAL PAGE BREAK*

I came back from cleaning the dishes. Tyson had put the giant cookie into the oven and we waited around for it to ding. Percy was right now doing his favorite thing. Beating up on the new campers in the sword play lessons.

I went to the ring and waited for him to get done. Tyson had agreed to bring it to him as a surprise when it was done.

"Block, NOW. Raise your sword and-… Strike!" He was really good at teaching them. We were bringing up very strong sword men.

Percy skipped towards me when he was done.

"Hey Wise Girl." He smirked and blinked a few beads of sweat out of his green eyes.

"Happy Birthday, Seaweed Brain." I smiled and Percy pushed some black hair our of his sweaty head. It was warm outside and the water was glistening on his head.

"BROTHER!" I heard and got ready. Percy jumped out of the ring and stood next to me.

"Ok, here is your surprise!" I told him. Percy slipped his hand into mine and Tyson approached us.

"It's perfect!" Tyson said. He presented the cookie that barely fit on a plate.

"Tyson what's wrong with it?" There was melted wax everywhere and it was still boiling. The wax was blue and in it, 17 small strands of thread were scattered. "The candles go on, after we cook it."

"I love it." Percy squeezed my hand and took a good chunk of blue cookie off and peeled off the wax. "To cookies!" We clinked and cookie crumbs scattered everywhere.

"To cookies!" We shouted.

A/N: Ok, thanks for reading. Please let me know how I'm doing and if I'm lacking.
