Ari lit a match at 11:59 at night, sitting crosslegged in the middle of the floor.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Happy 16th birthday Ari." She smiled, closing her eyes. "I wish, we win this war. A-and Krissie and Summer become good again. I know that their still the same, deep...deep down inside. But most importantly, I wish Jacob survives. I'd rather me die then him." She blew out the match and opened her eyes.

Claycob walked in slowly. Careful not to wake the other campers, he sat on the foot of Ari's bed. "Hey," he whispered. "What's with the match?"

"Oh, hey. You scared me. Well..." She looked down at her watch, "1 minute and 4 seconds ago, I turned 16. I needed something to blow out."

Claycob smiled. "Really?" He said. "Congrats. What did you wish for? A pony?"

"Yes, Jacob. I definitely wished for a pony." She chuckled, "I'm not telling you! Then it wouldn't come true, now would it?"

Claycob laughed. "By the way, how's August doing? The fight probably messed him up." He touched Ari's belly, but brought it back quickly.

"He's fine. I had one of the Hecate girls charm me, so I won't get any bigger. I'll be able fit all of my clothes!" She smiled, then frowned. "I'm thinking about giving August up for adoption. It's for his best..."

Claycob was a little sad. The poor kid. But he shouldn't grow up as a modern Greek warrior. "It's for the best," he said. "The little booger needs a childhood. Think he might have to come to camp one day?"

"I don't know, actually. One half, plus one half, is two fourths, but would it be enough? I mean, Dinoysus, and Apollo? How would that work? I think he's gonna be a normal kid. But hey, you never know." She yawned, laying her head on Jacob's shoulder.

"Either way," Claycob said. "I'm sure you'll see him again. You'd have been a great mother." He started to stroke her hair gently.

"You think so? I mean, I can barely take care of myself. I allowed myself to get raped by some creep, I attempted suicide...like...twice, I'm a recovering alcholic, what the hell are you talking about?" Ari chuckled softly.

Claycob laughed. "You're right, what was I thinking?" He winced, expecting a punch. He held her hand. "But you're still a great person."

Ari almost raised her fist to punched him, but stopped after recieving a compliment. "Thanks. Your not bad yourself." She smiled, "Oh, yeah, I forgot. I'm older then you! Ha! I didn't even know that."

Claycob smiled. "I'm 16 in a month and a half," he said. "Sucks though. I wish I was Peter Pan. I could stay a kid forever. I don't need an adulthood. Be pretty awesome."

"Yeah, get to keep your childhood, no wrinkles, no worries. That would be awesome actually. But there's only one problem. I can't get married! You have to be 16 to get married, with parent consult, in New York. I am 16, but I have no parents! That's the only thing i'm looking forward to. What about you?"

"But who needs to get married?" Claycob said. "It's just a piece of paper. If you really like someone, you don't need that."

"True, but...well...gods that was a good point. Okay, so maybe you don't need to get married, but wouldn't you want an awesomely shiny ring?"

Claycob laughed. "Then they can buy a ring. I'm just saying, We're growing up to fast."

"But I don't want a sparkly ring unless I'm getting married!" She laughed, "And you're not growing up to fast. You're still very immature. Smart, but immature. Because I have no present. Where's my birthday present Loure? Huh? You think I'd forget?" She chuckled.

"Um," Claycob said nervously. "Its weird because, it kind of..." He went outside for a moment. He reached into his chest. Original Jacob had gotten this for her ahead of time, and his it in his box under the bed. Claycob had gotten it before he came here. He came back inside. Claycob sat back down next to her. He held the out for her to see. It was a ring. It was bronze, and had a yellow sun in the middle. A small topaz jewel was in the center. "A ring."
