Splash.
"Psfhthff!"
"Ha ha ha!"
"PERCY JACKSON!"
"It's Christmas..."
"NO DUH!"
"And... Everyone is in the big house..."
"The point?"
"Nico, Santa came."
"Santa ain't real, Perce."
"Yeah, he is. C'mon."
Nico was pulling on some black jeans and a black tee.
"Whatever," he mumbled.
And, they walked into the big house.
Nico felt his jaw drop.
Stockings were hung. There was a Christmas tree. The Stolls were bugging Katie by singing a bad version of Jingle Bells, with various Greek cusses inserted. Annabeth was reading Harry Potter. Thalia was playing Monopoly with Malcolm and Drew. Juniper and Grover were smoching under the mistletoe. Will was eating Christmas cookies. Leo was tending the fire, and cracking jokes to an unimpressed Piper and Jason. Dionysus was getting high on slightly alcoholic egg nog. Chiron was playing the pan pipes in the tune of OH CHRISTMAS TREE. Miranda was messing with the potted plants. Jake was showing Nyssa his small trinket he'd made.
"Woah... Wait, I have a stocking. I HAVE A STOCKING."
Percy was peezed. "No duh."
Nico jumped into the huge Poole of unopened presents. "YAHOOOWEEEE!"
