This is a random story written for today, Percy's birthday. They're probably OOC, if so I'm sorry. This is unbetaed and it's my first PJO fanfic.

Happy Birthday From Nico

I was actually having dream and looking forward to sleeping in longer on my seventeenth birthday, when somebody decided to yell into my ear. "Wake up Birthday Boy! I didn't shadow travel all this way to watch you drool!" There were only two people that could be this mean; a shadow-traveling Annabeth, or Nico. I opened up one eye to see who it was.

I groaned. "Nicooo! You couldn't have just let me sleep in peace?"

"Nope! It's a funny story, though, do you want to hear it? Here goes! You see, the Stoll brothers gave me three Red Bulls and bet I couldn't drink all three in three minutes. But I did. See? I got twenty bucks! And in those three minutes I had an epiphany. I realized, since Bianca's gone, I don't have anybody to annoy when I get bored, so I decided, 'Hey the next best thing to annoying your sister, is annoying your cousin! I'll go bug Percy!' By then I finished the Red Bulls, so I got to thinking, 'Hmm, how am I going to do this? I want to get started as soon possible!' Then I remembered it was your birthday! I said to myself, 'How perfect! I can start by waking him up!' So I did. Look, here I am!"

"Here you are," I repeated. He was already achieving his goal. Why did he have to choose me? He has plenty of other cousins! "Hey Nico, buddy, if you want to annoy one of your cousins, there's always Thalia, or anybody from the Demeter cabin, even. Why don't you go annoy Katie Gardner today?"

He sighed and rolled his eyes as if to say, Oh, Percy, you dumb idiot. In a slightly calmer tone he said, "I can't annoy Katie, that's the Stoll brothers' job. And Thalia, she's a hunter and I'm a boy, Lady Artemis might turn me into a sheep or deer or something if I get anywhere near the Hunt."

"Well what about someone else at camp?"

He thought about it for a second. "No, it wouldn't be the same," he said very matter of factly.

I sighed. This kid was not going to give up. "But I'm meeting up with Annabeth today, sorry," I said, thinking up an excuse. It wasn't a complete lie. Unfortunately, he knew that.

"But she told me that you guys were just meeting up for a movie and dinner at the end of the day," he said, giving me a look that said, you can't get rid of me that easily.

I sighed again. I kind of felt bad. Nico didn't have any family outside, unless you count Hades, but I don't think he's one for family bonding time. "Okay, Nico," I finally agreed. "You can follow me around today."

He looked kind of surprised. "Oh, well I wasn't really asking for permission, but okay!" He said getting back into his hyperactive state. "What are we doing today? Can we go to that street fair? Ooh you should introduce me to some of you school friends! Wait, do you even have any? You know what? I don't really care. I know! We should go ice blocking! But where could we do that? Nah, maybe that's not such a great idea, did you know it's illegal in some states? Oh well, don't really care 'bout the law that much. So what do you say? Hey, when are you going to get up anyways?"

"Whoa, there Nico. You've got to slow down, it's still morning. Okay, first let me get dressed, then we'll get some breakfast."

"Okay, okay, I think I'll go use your bathroom. Be right back!" He said, and ran out the door to the bathroom.

I chuckled a little and went to my closet. I put on a blue t-shirt and jeans. I slipped on my shoes and stepped out of my room. Nico was sitting there, cross-legged, on the floor right in front of my door.

"Umm…"

"Come on!" He stood up. "Let's get some breakfast! I'm starving!"

My mom didn't seem surprised that Nico was there with me. She just invited him to sit down, and offered him some blue birthday waffles. Paul just looked at me and raised an eyebrow. After Nico and I wolfed down our waffles, I kissed my mom on the cheek, grabbed my keys, and walked out the door with Nico following behind me. Before he closed the door he stuck his head through the door and called, "Good bye Mr. and Mrs. Blofis!"

Nico may dress like an emo person, but really, I don't think I've ever seen anybody this…alive.

I could tell today was going to be interesting.

So how was it? Terrible? Wonderful? I need ideas for what Percy and Nico are going to do during the day. So if you have any funny experiences (birthday, friend, or family related), I'd love it if you tell me about it in a review or a PM. Please review!

Oh yeah, almost forgot. I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Red Bull.
