YAYYY! My first PJO fanfic! OMG! Anyways, enjoy! All criticism is accepted!
Percy and Annabeth were in the attic, looking for some fighting tactics videos. They come across a video labelled 'Percabeth'. Since Percy and Annabeth have no idea this video existed, Annabeth forced her boyfriend to watch it.
Fzzzz….pop….sttzz…"Up here, man!" The camera that just came into focus tilts upwards, and reveals the face of Travis Stoll, who is surrounded by campers with Clarisse on his direct left. On his right, he's concealed from the Dining Area by some tall shrubs. "Ahem…" Travis starts in a whispery tone, "We are gathered here today to stalk –I mean record- the inevitable get-together of Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson. I'm Travis Stoll, this Clarisse La – Ow!"
"I told you it was just Clarisse!" A big girl right next to Travis says, punching him not-so-softly in the arm.
"Right!" Travis yelps, "Clarisse, and my not-as-awesome-or-handsome brother Connor Stoll." The camera swivels around to an almost complete carbon copy of Travis, who grins and turns the camera back to Travis.
"Let the spying that Percy and Annabeth will totally kill us for begin!" Travis announces and flails his arms around idiotically. The camera turns and peeks through the bushes, where two teens are still left eating, at separate tables. "That's Percy and Annabeth," Connor hisses from behind the camera. "Twenty drachmas that Annabeth makes the first move," Clarisse shakes his hand with a "Deal," and then (thankfully) shut up.
Annabeth gets up from her table and goes around back. She emerges again, but this time with a failure of a cupcake with blue frosting. She sits down next to Percy. Percy looks at her curiously and says stupidly, "What?" Annabeth rolls her eyes. "It's August 18th," She explains. "Your birthday, right?
Realization dawns on Percy's face. "Make a wish," Annabeth probes. "Did you make this yourself?" Percy asks her.
"Tyson helped."
"That explains why it looks like a chocolate brick, with extra blue cement." Annabeth laughs, and several members of the audience have to cover their mouths to keep from joining her. Percy thinks for a second, then blows out the candle. He cuts it in half and shares it with Annabeth. They eat in silence, probably admiring the ocean.
"You saved the world," Annabeth says, breaking a comfortable silence. "We saved the world,"
"And Rachel is the new Oracle, which means she won't be dating anybody."
"You don't sound disappointed," Percy notes. Annabeth shrugs and admits, "Oh, I don't care."
"Uh-huh,"
Annabeth raises an eyebrow. "You got something to say to me, Seaweed Brain?"
"You would probably kick my butt,"
"You know I would kick your butt." Annabeth says. Percy wipes some frosting off his fingertips.
"When I was at the River Styx, getting invulnerable…Nico said that I had to concentrate on one thing that would keep me anchored to the world that made me want to stay mortal. Not meeting his eyes, Annabeth says, "Yeah?"
Percy continues. "Then up on Olympus, when they wanted to make me a god and stuff, I kept thinking-"
"Oh, you so wanted to." Annabeth interrupts. "Well, maybe a little," Percy admits, "But I didn't, because I thought- I didn't want things to stay the same for eternity, because things could always get better. And I was thinking…" Percy trails off.
Annabeth asks, "Anyone in particular?" Her voice was unusually soft. Percy looks at her, and sees her trying not to smile. "You're laughing at me!" He says in a whiny voice.
"I am not!"
"You are so not making this easy," That made Annabeth laugh for real this time. She slowly puts her arms around Percy's neck, so they are facing each other. "I am never, ever going to make things easy for you, Seaweed Brain. Gt used to it." Then they kiss.
Just as they were starting to get into it, Clarisse decides to march right through the shrubbery. As she snarls, "It's about time!" camper flood into the hall, filling it with torchlight. Percy says as they are lifted into the air, "Come on, is there no privacy around here?"
"The canoe lake!" Connor screams from behind the camera, and the campers take them to the beach and dump them in the water. When they don't come up, Travis runs up to his brother and hits his arm. "You forgot he was the son of Poseidon, idiot!" He shouts. The campers disperse, and Travis turns to the camera.
"This has been, Travis and Connor Stoll spying on Percabeth! DON'T TELL PERCY AND ANNABETH! WE LIKE OUR HEADS AND BODIES CONNECTED!" The last part Connor shouts with him. Then, after a bit of static, the screen goes black.
Two screams of "STOLLS!" was heard from the attic throughout the camp.
Two Hermes cabin twins were not present at dinner that night.
