Surprise Party for Will Michaels! [open to all]

By now Des was becoming uneasy and shifted her weight. She patted Rocky on the head and tugged at her shirt again looking around. She turned and started to quitely and quickly walk away towards the lake. She highly doubted anyone , other then Rocky, would notice her quick absence. Will was probably head over heels for Carly, and Magnus and Jake were doing alittle buddy group with Colton.

Magnus' eyes lit up like he could project lightning from them as well as his hands. "Sick, man! Another hockey player! So far I only know three at this camp--and I'm one of them. Which position did you play?"

Brook bounded into the room, carrying a present that was almost as large as herself! She didn't know what was in it, but Katie told her to give it to Will for babysitting her while she was at training. "WILL!" Brook shouted, dropping the present loudly on the floor, "I have a present for you!" she announced, sitting down on his bed.

Will flashed a smile at the in coming Brook, "Hey Brookie," his smile as big as he watched the little girl struggling with the huge present. Only she would do that. He was tempted to ask her if she needed help, but knowing Brook, she'd only decline.

Cole's smile faltered as is gaze flickered from Magnus to a retreating Destiny, "Uh, left wing." He pushed past Magnus, and called, "Des!"

Destiny sighed. Of course he'd notice when she doesn't want to be noticed. She stopped and turned around a smileing inspite of herself just because he had noticed. She rised an eyebrow. "What? Can't I sneak away to go for a swim?" She asked just loud enough for him to hear. Her vibrent blue eyes looked straight at him almost showing she wanted some time to go and relex, but hoping he'd come to but he didn't have to she thought.

Girlfriend? Probably, Magnus thought, as he walked a couple of steps towards Colton and Destiny but generally kept his distance. He reached down and absently patted Rocky on the head.

Brook patted the large box and scrambled to sit on top of it. The gift inside it was sturdy enough to hold a 63 pound girl. She stared at him, expecting a further reaction. "Well? Aren't you going to open it?" she asked, hopping down from the box and getting a glass of Kool-Aid from the further right side of the room.

"Why don't you go ahead and open it for me?" Will suggested with a chuckle.

"I dunno, do you want to be left alone?" Cole asked with a wistful look. He really liked Destiny and wanted to make her happy. If leaving her be was keeping her happy, he'd do it.

She smiled and thought. "I could make from for one.." She looked down at the excited Rocky. "Or two.." She smiled and shruged. "If you want to come of course."

Hale and Truckee entered the Zeus cabin. Hale bowed his head in disappointment, and sighed. Truckee bounded across the room to the other dogs, then bounded back to his owner. Hale smiled and gently patted his dog's head. "There, there, boy. We can't make too big a deal of us being here. We just got here. We're late." Hale tried to explain things to the Labrador puppy, but it was no use. This dog wasn't the brightest sun in the galaxy.

As Hale walked across the room as his puppy had previously done, he set his gift on the table. It was nothing special, but he hoped Will would like it. Hale knew better than anyone that Will was just a kid, much like Hale himself. He missed his mom, even though he tried to deny it, even hide it. That's why Hale's gift to Will was a picture of Will when he was actually a mere baby. Zan held him, and all around her was Maddie, and then the cabin leaders; Hale, Angelica, Deimos, Colby, Adam, Yume, Cody, James, Liliana, Carmen, and Bellinda. The new cabin leaders weren't included because their reign would come later. After Will's aging speed-up.

Hale stared at his gift, all wrapped up, and only quit when Truckee started rubbing his nose on Hale's palm. "I see you, boy," Hale comforted, knowing his pet was just anxious. Truckee hadn't been out of Hale's room since he had gotten to camp. All of these people merely frightened him.

"Let's go socialize, shall we, Truckee?" Hale asked his dog, not waiting for a wag of the tail before Hale walked off towards Will. "Hey!" Hale called, smiling.

Carly did as she was told, stepping on Will's feet. As more and more people came up to him, she realized it might be difficult for her to get some alone time with him. 'Oh well, he looks happy. That's what matters...I can get alone time with him another day,' she thought, wrapping her arms around Will's neck.

"Gladly!" She giggled, ripping off the wrapping paper and tearing open the box. Brook pulled out the bubble wrap and stood on her tip-toes to peer into the box. Inside the box was a black mini-fridge with glowing lightning bolts on the front! "WILL! You gotta check this out!" Brook squealed, sitting down on the ground to pop the bubble wrap.

Will let out a hearty laugh and quietly asked Carly, "Do you want to be carried? 'Cause I can do that." The corners of his mouth rose in a slight smirk. He glanced over at Brook and laughed, "Is that a fat joke?"

As soon as Hale saw Will opening his presents right then, he grabbed his off of the table he had previously put it on. The photo was heavier than it had seemed previously, and Hale struggled with keeping it still. The photo seemed to have a mind of it's own.

Truckee nipped at Hale's hands, almost making the little boy drop the picture, but it was caught, and soon Hale and Truckee were standing next to Will, Brook, and Carly. Hale knew everyone in the cluster of people, but Truckee didn't. The young Labrador puppy ran excitedly from person to person, stiffing their legs, rubbing his head on their feet, and rolling over in the center of the circle. "You big oaf!" Hale commented, laughing.

"Will, here's your gift. It's nothing special. It's not, like, um, big or anything, but I think you'll like it." The Apollo boy nodded, proud of his explanation. It was best that he told Will his gift was nothing grand, but that it came from the heart. All of his family, well not his dad, was crowded around the baby him, along with some friends. Well, I've already explained to you what the picture was previously, haven't I? You're just going to have to wait if you don't remember what Hale got his friend.

Carly thought for a moment, pursing her lips. "Maybe later," she said with a wide smile. She hopped off of Will's feet, gesturing towards his many friends. "Go, have fun at your party. We can dance another time," she said. Without waiting for a response, she plopped back down in her previous seat, opening up her book.

"No, no, no. You are my best friend slash girlfriend. Therefore, you are going to put down the book and I'm going to give you a piggyback ride." Will took the book and put the mark back into and grabbed Carly around the waist and threw her over his shoulder. He really was a freak.

Magnus gave voice to that opinion when he saw Will carrying Carly. "Man, you're cracked. Truly, you're the craziest cabin leader of them all. You know that?"

Bellinda sauntered into the room, as if on cue for Magnus's comment. "Then you haven't met me then, have you?" she asked with a crooked grin. She set a bottle of wine/vodka concoction on the present table. "Happy birthday, dude," she said, eyeing the girl on his shoulder. "I know it's been weird between us...but I didn't want to miss your birthday," she said with a smile, gesturing to the decorated cabin.

Carly strained her neck so she could study the girl. Bellinda? Is that one of the girls he was talking about before? No...there's no way he had a thing for the dionysus cabin leader...Is there? Carly shook her head vigorously, giving a wave to Bellinda. "Hi," she said with a small smile. She looked over at the bottle, catching a whiff of it. She winced. 'Woah..' she thought at the strong smell.

Hale kicked the floor absentmindedly. Will was busy. He should leave. Will would find his present later, wouldn't he? There was no point being here if no one would even acknowledge his presence. Grabbing Truckee's collar, Hale prepared himself to make a cake run, and then leave. He wouldn't crowd Will's party when he clearly wanted to hang with his girl friend. This was Hale's way of being a good friend.

As he stepped away, he realized how far he was bending down just to hold on to his dog's collar. Hale stood up, picked up Truckee, and tried to balance Will's picture in his arms as well. "Hey Will, happy birthday. Where do you want me to put your present?" Hale looked down at the present again. It seemed so small compared to everyone elses' gifts to the birthday boy. Truckee squirmed in his arms, but couldn't brake free of Hale's grip. Neither really wanted to leave, but maybe it was the friendly thing to do.

Will's gaze flitted over to Hale, "Oh hey man. Sorry, I was distracted. Uh, just set it on the...the thingie. That thing with four legs, WHAT'S IT CALLED? The table." He smiled wearily in Bellinda's direction, "I never have been drunk before..." he said quietly to Carly.

Hale nodded. He quietly unwrapped the picture, turned it outward, and smiled. It was really something. Baby Will and alive Zan both had the same smile on their face. Hale himself looked a lot younger than he did now. That was in his yearly camp years, and very early Cabin Leader years. All the cabin leaders looked happy. They were mostly new, the section of voting had recently ended. Everyone looked so much happier than they did now. Even Maddie, who wasn't a cabin leader, was beaming.

Everyone: Maddie, Zan, Will, Hale, Carmen, James, Deimos, Yume, Adam, Colby, Cody, Liliana, Angelica, and Bellinda. Everyone was clumped around zany Zan. That's where Hale's eyes lingered; on Zan, the one they lost. She was Taylor now, but Taylor wasn't Zan.

The young boy fought back tears as he pulled his dog out of the Zeus cabin and said happy birthday to Will one more time.

While everyone else was talking, Magnus noticed Hale and walked up to the much smaller boy.
"Hey, you're the Apollo cabin leader, right? Hale Drem? I'm Magnus Starkweather. Chris has talked about you."

Bellinda snorted with laughter. "Pfft...that's a lie! Remember that first day we met? You drank all of my wine from those two bottles!" she said, punching him playfully in the arm. It was obvious she was a bit tipsy already.

Carly couldn't see Bellinda, but she could tell by the sound of her voice that she might have already opened Will's present for him. She rested her head on Will's shoulder, glancing out among the people. "I gotta say, I'm enjoying the view from up here," she said with a laugh.

Hale turned quickly, facing the Zeus kid. His head titled up at a 180 degree angle, Hale offered a smile. He nearly dropped Truckee, but managed to regain his balance. "That's me! And this is Truckee." (Truck-e) Hale sighed as he tried to keep his wiggly puppy still. "Sorry in advance for his behavior. Are you Will's brother?" Hale figured that was his best bet, this Magnus kid. He looked like a Zeusy.

Magnus quickly sat down on a nearby bunk once he saw Hale's neck craning to see his face. "Hi Hale, hi Truckee. Yep--I'm a son of Zeus. You droppin' in, man?"
