Here's a special thing for all my readers. Enjoy!

Percy Jackson Halloween Special!

Percy Jackson was helping his mother, Sally Jackson decorate the little apartment with harvest and Halloween decorations. He couldn't wait to go trick-or-treating with Tyson, who was this tall, big dude from Meriwether College Prep. Anyway the two were going trick-or-treating, Tyson as a Cyclops and Percy as Poseidon (obviously. What? You can't blame him, Halloween snuck up fast) and Sally was going to be handing out blue candy samples that she used to get after Percy came home for the summer.

"Percy, hand me a thumbtack." Sally called from the doorway holding up a sign that CANDY HERE on the door.

"One sec…" Percy replied before giving up on practicing lighting a candle in a pumpkin. He grabbed a thumbtack and delivered it to his mother.

"Thanks. Excited?" Sally said as she finished putting the sign up.

"Um, why wouldn't I be? I'll get lots of candy, dress up like Poseidon, I mean what isn't there to like?" Percy answered grinning.

"Well there is the problem of possible monsters in disguise Percy. You sure you'll be okay alone?" Sally asked him.

"Mom, for the hundredth time, yes I can defend myself now. You don't have to worry. Just hand out candy and I'll come home unscathed. Promise." Percy reassured her. "Now I have to figure out how to light a candle in a pumpkin. Be right back."

Sally sighed as she watched Percy dash off into the kitchen. She hated when Percy would promise things like that. Oh well, back to decorating.

-.,.,-,.,.-

"Percy came!" Tyson was saying to himself as the two walked along the sidewalks.

"Course I did big guy. Halloween is the best!" Percy told him. He had a pillowcase slung over his shoulder with a few pounds of candy. The squeals of delight from little kids and laughter from the high school kids could be heard all around New York. The flickering lights of jack-o-lanterns on doorsteps and in windows and the kids in costumes walking around, going door to door were signs that it was definitely Halloween.

"This house Percy?" Tyson asked as he pointed to a really creepy house.

They were on the outskirts where more real houses were common {Never been to New York. Sorry if this is wrong}. The house itself was spooky but the decorations made it look downright scary. The jack-o-lanterns had horrifying carvings and fake cobweb material covered the bushes and trees. Tombstones, pieces of skeletons and fake limbs littered the yard and huge fake spiders hid among the shadows.

Annabeth would hate this place, Percy thought as he looked around. It all looked so real it was quite terrifying. As Percy and Tyson go closer, Percy noticed knives hanging on a string on the porch. He shivered. Maybe they shouldn't go. Tyson voiced this when he got a closer look.

"Hey Jackson. Is a little bit of decorations going to scare you? They're all fake anyway." Percy turned to see Matt Sloan, the bully from Meriwether Prep, and his goons laughing at the two friends.

"Make him a dare Sloan. He won't be able to refuse!" one the goons, Masen Parain, suggested. Matt nodded in agreement.

"How about a challenge Jackson?" Matt offered.

"I'd take you on anytime Sloan." Percy growled, lowering the fake trident to Matt's chin.

Matt gulped but went on. "Whoever gets candy from that house with the lowest amount of times scared wins. Got it?"

Percy nodded accepting the challenge and standing the trident up again walked up to the pathway. Tyson came up behind him.

"Please don't do this. Bad things here." He whimpered but Percy ignored him, stopping by the beginning of the path.

"You first Sloan, challenger always goes first." Percy gestured, a small smirk on his face.

Matt scoffed before pushing Percy into the bushes and walking with his head held high onto the pathway. His goons followed soon after, doing the same to Tyson.

Percy fumed and helped Tyson up who was starting to cry.

"You okay big guy?" Percy asked. Tyson nodded. "Then let's watch Sloan pee his pants."

The two watched as Sloan and his goon get spooked or scared or shy away from something 13 times before they got up to the actually house. Matt knocked on the door and they waited for a couple moments before the door opened. An old man grinned as he opened the door and left candy in the boys' bags or buckets when Percy thought he saw the old man say something to them. Matt backed away and turned, closely followed by his goons.

"Shoot! Come on Tyson or they'll know we've been spying on them." Percy said hurriedly, running from the spot where they had watched the scene. Percy heard Tyson's footsteps behind him and both sped up as Sloan and his goons were running now. Percy and Tyson just barely made it before Matt burst through the bushes, screaming like a little girl.

"Scared Sloan?" Percy taunted once they all had their breath back.

"You listen to that old man tell you creepy, gory, horrific poetry, Jackson. I'll show you and then you'll be screaming like a baby." Matt retorted, obviously shaken up. His goons opened their mouths but nothing came out so they looked like fish.

"Then show me Sloan." Percy dared, staring at him. Percy knew that is this was a monster he'd have to get rid of it ASAP, even if it was in front of Tyson and Matt Sloan and his goons.

"Okay. Follow me."

Sloan led the way, Percy close behind, Tyson behind him, and then the goons reluctantly trailed after them. Sloan stopped suddenly causing Percy to stop which resulted in Tyson knocking the two over like bowling pins.

"Ow… Get your big freak off me Jackson." Matt told Percy. Percy, on the other hand, was being helped up by Tyson.

"Uh, Sloan? Do I just knock on the door, act like a regular trick-or-treater and WA-BAM! The old man starts saying death poetry or what?" Percy asked after taking a look at the door.

Matt Sloan nodded. "Yeah… Yeah you go on ahead Jackson. We'll be right here."

Percy groaned but walked up the steps with Tyson and rung the doorbell.

"Psst! Doorbell doesn't work!" A harsh whisper from behind the bushes called. Percy gave a sharp glare to the Sloan Bush but knocked on the door.

"Percy… Bad place, turn back now. Please?" Tyson pleaded.

"Come on big guy. Just a little longer then we can go to all the good houses and get all the good candy and go home. How 'bout it?" Percy bribed focusing on the door.

"Lots of candy? King size? Good people with good smell?" Tyson questioned.

"Yes, yes. All of that and home. You can even stay at my apartment if you want." Percy offered, his senses straining to at least hear or smell something.

"Your house? Blue cookies? Nice lady, Sally?" Tyson said.

Footsteps softly treaded towards the door.

"'Course Tyson." Percy answered.

Footsteps were heard louder now and faint voices as well.

"Real-"Tyson was cut off by the creaking of the door opening.

An old man with a really wrinkled face, thin, greasy white hair and narrow eyes opened. He had a creepy smile, like he was contemplating how to cut you up and eat you for dinner.

"Trick-or-Treat…" Percy croaked. He nudged Tyson and opened his pillow bag.

"Tr-trick-or-Tre-treat." Tyson stuttered.

"Ahehehe…*cue cough* what lovely young'ins we 'ave 'ere. All ripe an' ready for a trip to the un'erworld." The old man said. He pulled out a bag of heresies. "'Ere ya go. 'Njoy!"

"Ah… Thanks?" Percy said kind of confused as he took the bag of chocolates.

"Sun and thief shall greet, Demigod and Cyclops on Awesome night of year." The old man rasped.

"Apollo, stop that! Leave barnacle beard's son alone." Another voice yelled form inside the house. A man in a runner's outfit could be seen faintly.

"Aww, but Hermes I scared the light out of the other kids, how come not him?" the old man whined in a much younger voice.

Percy spluttered. They were gods? What the heck? A phone rang.

"Just give him a trick then, I don't care. Then send him on his way or monsters will never stop." The runner, Hermes called before answering the phone.

Finally Percy got something out. "Lord Apollo? Lord Hermes? What are you doing here…" He trailed off as the old man (Apollo) shooed them away.

"Out! Out! Bye, byez. See you in another year or two! Or a couple months!" He said before slamming the door in the boys' faces.

"Ooohkay…" Tyson grinned waving at the door then bouncing away. Percy was about to follow him when he remembered Sloan.

"Hey Sloan. Unless you want to get blackmailed, I suggest you leave Tyson and me alone until January. I bet everyone will love to hear about the school bully peeing his pants." Percy smirked then followed Tyson to finish trick-or-treating.

-.,.,-,.,.-

The year went on quietly like that, Sloan kept his distance and Percy never sought him out. If Sloan started to make trouble with the two friends then Percy would stare him down, ready to carry out his threat. Both forgot the Halloween ordeal by January and Matt Sloan continued the bullying but for those few quiet months, Percy actually liked school and made it through, thoroughly forgetting about Apollo and Hermes. But they didn't forget him. They had taken videos of each kid that came to the house and the two mischievous gods had funny films to supply them with laughs for the rest of the year. Oh well, there's always positives and negatives to each side. I hope you had a happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! This was supposed to come out earlier but a storm blew in and I could get it done on time. Plus with all the trick-or-treaters I had i was busy so cut me some slack. Anyway, hope you enjoyed!
