Best Birthday Ever

*Percy's POV*
Why do the Fates love to make me miserable. On this day I'm supposed to be atleast the slightest bit happy but no. I have to be constantly reminded that I'm the Fates play thing.

You want to know what I mean well let me explain.

I woke up this morning in the greatest mood I've been in in the longest time. Why you may ask, well it's my birthday. I was so excited to spend the day with my parents, Annabeth and my closest friends.

I was so excited that I almost ran out of my cabin in my underwear. After changing into something more appropriate I went to my saltwater fountain to make an Iris Message to my mom and Paul.

After saying the prayer and throwing in the drachma I waited to see my mom.

When she finally appeared in the mist, I immediately knew that something was wrong.

My mom was holding the baby beside Paul but the both looked really nervous.

"Uhm hi mom, Paul, what's wrong?" I asked worriedly.

Paul seemed to be looking at something behind the IM so my mom answered.

"Honey, everything is completely fine. There is nothing to worry about," she said sincerely.

She elbowed Paul and he looked to me and nodded.

"Champ, were really busy right now. So we'll talk to you later okay," he said suspiciously.

"But..." I tried to say but my mom cut me off.

"Love you honey, bye!" she said hastily and that was the end of the message.

I just sat on my bed trying to understand exactly what just happened. They were acting really weird but it didn't look like my mom was lying when she said that I didn't need to worry but... Uh, I need to stop worrying.

I left my cabin to find Annabeth. After a while I found her talking to Nico infront of Rachel's cave. Before I could go over to them I see something that makes me stop in my tracks. After they finish talking Annsbeth kisses Nico on the cheek and gives him a big hug.

Nico then shadow travels away and Annabeth goes into the cave. I gulp down the lump in my throat and pinch myself to make sure that I was actually awake. Unfortunately I was. Before I could go ask her about it a note dropped out of the air and into my hands.

'Perseus Jackson,
As a favour to us Olympians, we are asking you to complete a series of tasks. However it may seem this is a manditory quest. The list of tasks you must complete my dusk is below'

That is a lot of things to do. What makes them think that I'm going to do all of this.

As soon as I thought this another letter fell out of the sky.

'Do it or else you spend a month in Tartarus. And yes we are serious.'

Come on. Since I didn't want to spend the next month in a pit with things trying to kill every second I go ahead with this stupid request.

"Happy birthday to me" I say glumly to myself before heading out.

*12 hours later*
I arrived back at camp at about 9 o'clock or whatever. Right now I really didn't care. I just needed to get to my bed so I could sleep off the memory of this stupid day.

Why so grumpy you may ask. Well for starters the stupid quests the Olympians sent me on took a whole of 8 hours to complete, with me almost being killed at least 15 times. And then stupid Hecate makes me get all sorts of weird stuff from all sorts of weird places. And to top it all off, every time I tried to call one of my stupid friends, I either get yelled at for interrupting them or just totally ignored. So yeah, I have a reason to be all grumpy.

On my way to camp I notice that my feet aren't touching the ground. I notice too late and the next thing I know I'm falling into the ocean. Gosh, do I have some choice words for who ever thinks that they can keep me away from my bed. I try to swim back to the top but what ever is pulling me down doesn't want me to go home.

I finally land on solid ground somewhere. I look around and see that I'm somewhere in Atlantis. And boy does this place look ready for a party. Oh well, I might as well...

"SURPRISE!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PERCY!!!!!!"I hear what I think is the entire ocean scream.

"Argh! Do you want me to have a heart attack?!?" I ask to no one in particular.

I look around and see that I'm surrounded by everyone. And I mean everyone.

My parents, Paul, my little sister, everyone at Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood and the Olympians.

I blink a couple times, trying to comprehend what just went on.

Before I can say anything Annabeth tackles me and kisses me. I kiss back of course and when we pull a part I see that she has a huge smile on her face. Well know I can't be mad at her but I know who I can be mad at.

"Okay, so I realise know that all those quests were set up to keep me occupied and all but why in the name of the Styx did they have to be so hard?!" I shout.

Zues just shrugs and I guess that I have to be satisfied.

I enjoy the party and dance the night away under the ocean blue with Annabeth. Well I guess that this wasn't the worst day ever. It might actually be the best birthday that I've ever had.

So there it is. My first one ever, so I hope it's not too bad. So once again Happy Birthday Percy and leave your thoughts in the comments. And remember stay blue my friends
