The Sixth Day
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me six geese a laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Nicos POV
Knock knock knock!
"Unhnhmh."
"Nico, you in there?"
"Go away!"
I rolled over and covered myself with the blanket.
"I'm coming in."
"Uhn..."
Jason came in the door, his tall figure filling up the doorway.
"We're decorating the big house today. Come help."
"I don't wanna..."
"Chirons making us."
"Ughhh. Fine. Be there soooonn..."
Jason left.
I stayed in bed for a second, enjoying the cuccoon of warmth.
Then I reluctantly got out of bed and got some clothes.
I picked out a black tshirt, gray jeans, black Converse, and my aviators jacket.
Then I strapped my sword to my back and walked outside.
"Owww."
The sunlight blinded me, sorta like a vampire coming out of its coffin.
Of course, that's what most people think I'm like but that's not true.
I walked over to the Big House.
Jason was up on the roof, putting tinsel, wreaths, and lights.
Piper was decorating a tree on the porch.
I could hear Percy and Annabeth arguing inside, so I decided to go in.
"No!!! I want the blue lights!"
"Percy, you sound like a little kid. Now give me the white lights."
"Noooo."
They were decorating another tree inside, and weren't getting much progress.
Annabeth was looking up at Percy, who was standing on a ladder with lights in his hands.
He was sticking his tongue out at Annabeth.
"Percy, if you don't give me those I'll-"
"Fine!"
He tossed the blue lights at her then jumped down from the ladder.
"Oh hey Nico."
"Hey."
"So what should I do... Annabeth."
"Just help wherever."
"Okay."
I grabbed a box of ornaments and started to halfheartedly put them on the tree.
"NOOO. You're doing it wrong. Use all the blue ones!"
"Percy, if you're just going to stand over there and complain, then come over here and help me."
"Okay."
I rolled my eyes. Then I put the box down and went outside.
I sat on the porch. The tree there was fully decorated. Piper wasn't halfbad.
I looked out at the camp. There were a few campers milling around, playing but most of them were probably in their cabins.
Then I saw a girl walk torwards me.
"Thalia?"
"Nico?"
"Why are you here Thalia?"
"Well, the hunters were just visiting for the holidays."
"Oh."
She started to walk inside, but someone called out.
"Stop!"
"Lacy?"
Lacy came running torwards us, looking excited.
"You're both standing under a mistletoe."
"What?!"
"Yup. That means you have to-"
"I know what it means and I'm not going to do it."
"You have to do it! For the Christmas spirit! For Aphrodite campers! Please?"
"No."
Thalia started to walk inside, but then Percy and Annabeth came out and crashed into her.
"Oww."
Percy helped Annabeth up, then looked up.
"Look up Wise Girl."
"Huh?"
Then Annabeth understood. They started making out.
"Ugh.."
I looked away while Lacy sqeualed and said something about telling the others. Then she ran off.
When they finished,Percy said,
"Your turn."
"Huh wha- I wasn't under here with anyone!"
"Yes you were. you with THALIA."
Thalia was brushing off her clothes and blushed.
"No! I'm a Hunter. This goes against the rules Kelphead."
"Percy, don't make them kiss."
"Yes!"
"Although, I disaprove of kissing, I don't disaprove of hugs."
"Nooo. Annabeth why'd ya have to say that. I don't wanna hug ol Death Breath."
"But that isn't against your policy."
"Humph."
Me and Thalia looked at each other, faces red. Then we awkwardly embraced.
"See that wasn't so hard!"
"Yeah... I'm going back to my cabin."
I walked away from the group.
