Fears, Stares, and Angry Demigods.
I do NOT own Percy Jackson and The Olympians, or any of the characters included in this fic. Because I'm not Rick Riordan.
"So what kind of daughter of Zeus is afraid of heights anyway?" Percy asked Thalia one Summer afternoon at camp. The Hunters of Artemis had come for a visit and Percy, Nico, and Thalia, were talking amongst themselves while Annabeth was teaching Ancient Greek with Chiron.
"Shut up." Thalia said, and she gave him one of her death stares. Thalia was the kind of person who could give you a death stare, and make you feel like you might actually die.
"Geesh." Percy said. "Looks hurt, you know. Almost worse than words."
"Suck it up." Thalia replied.
Meanwhile, Nico was silently trying not to laugh his head off.
"So?" Percy asked.
"So what?" Thalia inquired back.
"So? What kind of child of Zeus is afraid of heights?"
"Percy, you must be feeling awfully brave today!" Nico put in.
Percy nodded.
"So, Thalia?"
"The kind that wants to punch your face in right about now."
"Now, that stung like lightning."
"Percy, I'm warning you..."
"That your afraid to share your feelings? It's alright Thalia, you can tell us. We're your friends."
Both Nico and Thalia both looked like they were about to burst. One with anger, the other with absurd giggling.
"Come on, Thalia! Please!" Percy gave her his best puppy dog look, which I assure you, was truely scary.
"Eww, Perce, NEVER make that face again please." said Nico.
"Seriously though! Your father is the lord of the skies, and you can't handle being in his territory?" Percy exclaimed.
"Well, weren't you afraid of drowning as a little boy?" Thalia asked.
"No! I loved the water! I less than three'd it!"
Thalia stared him down.
"Okay, fine! A little! But that's different! No one wants to DROWN! Only certain people are afraid of heights though!"
"Thalia is not amused." Thalia said.
"Thalia is NOT amused." Nico verified.
"Nico, shut up." Percy shot.
"Yeah, no one invited you anyway, little death boy!" Thalia agreed.
Nico made a giant crevice in the earth and stepped into it.
"Yeah, well you guys aren't coming to my birthday party!" he called up from the Underworld.
"Hmp." Thalia mused. "He wasn't smart enough to just make the earth swallow us instead. Would have been much more effective."
"Yeah, that just wasn't dramatic enough, was it?" Percy asked agreeingly.
"No." Thalia said. "But anyways, you'd better shut up."
"About what?"
"About me being afraid of heights because of the incident!"
"So there's an incident involved, is there?"
Thalia facepalmed, then held her hands out.
"Thalia, no! Thalia-what-what? No! No! No, THALIA DON'T!"
Percy doesn't bother Thalia about heights much now that he knows what it felt like to be electrocuted.
