Hey, it's CrimsonArrow, thanks for checking out my story! This will be a big collection of stories of characters from PJO and HoO! Enjoy!

(Oh, and I'll try to make the stories kinda long!)

Dakota was mad. He was mad because his mom had made him move across the country. He had lived his whole life in California, and all of his friends were there, but no, he just had to move to New York. He looked up at the brick building that was his high school, sighed, and walked in.

"Okay, see you soon!" Annabeth said, then ended the call. She was sad that Percy was away with his family, so he would miss the first two weeks of school with her, but she was happy for him. At least they were going to the same high school this year, and Leo and Piper were also going to be there. She sighed, then walked into the school.

Dakota had math first. He sat in the back corner, and payed attention to no one but the teacher. He had chemistry second, then biology, then home ec, and for fifth period, he had history.

As soon as Dakota walked into his history class, he knew that it would be better then the others. He had no idea why he felt that; he just did. He chose a seat in the back of the classroom next to a guy who resembled a latino santa elf. (a/n: can anyone guess who that is? ;p) The elf looked at Dakota, grinned, and said, "Hey, I'm Bad Boy Supreme, Super-Sized McShizzle, the one, the only, LEO!" At that, Dakota laughed. Clearly, this guy was enthusiastic.

"I'm Dakota," he told Leo, preferring to keep his introduction simple.

"Like the state?" Leo asked him.

"Yeah," Dakota confirmed with a sigh.

"Cool," Leo said, then began working on something in his hands. After a few minutes of sitting awkwardly, the class started. Dakota tried to sit through it, but the teacher had a very monotonous voice that was already putting half the class to sleep.

After class, Dakota approached Leo as he was leaving the class. "Can I eat lunch with you?" he asked, cuz' he didn't really know anyone else at the school. Leo agreed, and they walked to the cafeteria together.

When they got there, Leo led them over to a table with two very pretty girls sitting at it. Dakota thought it was a very brave and rash decision on Leo's part, but the girls greeted Leo like a brother. He guessed they knew each other before.

The blonde girl with stormy grey eyes turned to Dakota. "Hi, I'm Annabeth," she told him. Odd, Dakota thought.He knew a guy who's girlfriend was a blonde named Annabeth. And they had a friend named Leo. What a coincidence!

The other girl, who had brown hair and eyes that seemed to change color, shook hands with him. "I'm Piper. Nice to meet you."

They also had a friend named Piper! What a small world!

"I'm Dakota," he told them, glad to have some friends.

The next week and a half seemed to pass by quickly. Annabeth, Piper, and Leo quickly befriended Dakota. He seemed like a really nice guy. Finally, the week came where Percy was coming back. He was going to come back on Monday, but go to school on Tuesday. Annabeth came to school with a smile on her face. When Dakota asked her why she was so happy, she responded with, "My boyfriend's coming." Dakota didn't know why that would make her happy, but he didn't really understand love. Ah, whatever.

At lunch, the group went outside to sit by a tree. After talking for five minutes, Annabeth got up to go get a drink of water from the water fountain.

She got to the water fountain outside, which was out of view from the rest of her group. She began to take a sip when she felt something nudge her. It felt wet. She turned around and found her face-to-face with Percy's pegasus, Blackjack. Well, face-to-snout. (a/n: do horses have snouts?)

"What are you doing here?" She asked the pegasus. Blackjack just poked his head in the direction of the front of the school. His dark brown, almost black, eyes held worry.

"Is Percy in trouble? At the front of the school?" Annabeth asked her. Blackjack bobbed his head as a response, then flew away, presumably to help Percy.

Annabeth sprinted back to her friends, and told Leo and Piper, "We have to get to the front of the school. Now." They looked confused for a second, but then it dawned on them that someone was probably in trouble. They got up and were about to leave when Dakota said, "Can I come?"

"Um..." Annabeth started. But then she figured it would take too long to argue, so she nodded, and they ran.

When they got to the front of the school, they saw giant prints heading towards the woods next to the school. They followed the prints until they saw the Minotaur facing away from them, probably battling with Percy. Piper, Leo and Annabeth all drew their swords, and Annabeth looked over to Dakota to offer an explanation. However, much to her surprise, Dakota was holding a short bronze sword, and was looking at the others, mouth open. All four were about to start talking at once when they heard a grunt. Percy had stabbed the Minotaur in the leg.

They ran to the front of the monster, where Percy said, "Hey! Wait, what's Dakota doing here?" However, before anyone could answer, the Minotaur swung a tree he had uprooted, and they had to dodge. Leo lit his hands with fire, charged the minotaur, and seared it's flesh, while Piper charmspoke it to look at her. Annabeth, Percy, and Dakota ran to the back of the beast, where they all plunged their swords in the monster. He evaporated, leaving five tired teens in a small clearing of forest.

"What the heck?" Leo said, breaking the silence.

"Seriously? Three times? That guy... well, thing... seriously hates me!" Percy shouted. Then he turned to Dakota. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"You know him?" Annabeth, Piper, and Leo all said simultaneously.

"Yeah, he was a centurion at Camp Jupiter." (a/n: if you don't know what Camp Jupiter is, then you really should read the Heroes of Olympus series!)

"Oh! Y'know Jason? He's my boyfriend," Piper asked.

"Yeah!"

The rest of the school year was really fun for the five demigods. They kept in touch even after they went back to their own camps.

A/N: Did you know that A/N stands for authors note? I just learned that this morning! Anyway, the story was shorter then I hoped, but I hope you like it. I know it was kinda abrupt at the end, but whatever. This is my first story on , tell me how you like it!

By the way, I will be going on vacation for three weeks tomorrow, so this might be my last (and first) story in a while, but I'll write when I get back. But I might be able to write more tonight! We'll see :)
