DISCLAIMER: I own nothing...sadly, except the plot
Annabeth
"Come on, Wise Girl!" My boyfriend yells from the other room.
"I'm coming Percy, gods!" I call back, "Aren't we too old for this?" No reply. "Percy?" There's a crash in the kitchen. I pull a hoodie over my costume and run out of Percy's bedroom. I stop in the kitchen and see Sally, Percy's mother, holding back a laugh. Looking down, I see a raven haired boy sitting on the floor, blue cookies scattered around him. "Oh gods." I start laughing too.
"Cookie?" Percy says innocently, holding one up for me.
Now you may be thinking: My nickname, the black hair, blue cookies, his name... Well you're right, he is the Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. The green eyed boy, with epic water powers. He is... well, a Seaweed Brain. And I am Annabeth, daughter of Athena, no special powers. I have long, curly, blond hair and-as Percy would say-stormy gray eyes.
I grab the cookie and stuff it in my mouth. I hear the front door open and Thalia and Nico walk in. I hear them snicker then,
"Come on, if we're gonna go, lets go." Nico says as I pull Percy up. "OOH! COOKIES!" Nico squeals, diving for them.
"No, no, not for you." Sally says.
"B-but," Nico stutters.
"Shoo." Sally waves us out the door.
We're all dressed up as our godly parents, except Thalia who was dressed normally for her, as a hunter of Artemis. Otherwise Nico was dressed as Hades in a dark cloak. Percy was wearing swim trunks and a blue t-shirt, as Poseidon. I was wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and armor with a hoodie.
Percy
Ok, so falling off the counter wasn't so bad, having mom and Annabeth laugh at me not so bad, but Thalia and Nico was...well, horrifying. Sorta.
"-Hello-"
"KELP FACE!" Thalia's shouting shakes me out of my stupor.
"Percy watch o-" Annabeth was cut off by... a wall. Yes, that's right, I walked into a wall, well... not a wall. I figure that out when it slides out of the way.
"GAA!" I land on the floor in the elevator.
"HA! I told you, five bucks." Nico says. I roll over to see Thalia handing Nico a five dollar bill.
"Really? You were betting on me?" Nico smiles sheepishly, Thalia grins like an idiot, and Annabeth... I look around, where is she? I see a blond head duck into the elevator.
"Sorry, you dropped this." Annabeth throws something at me. I try to catch it but miss and it lands on my face. It's just not my day, is it? I groan and lift the metal object, a box, of my face. Inside is a necklace, and no, I don't wear necklaces. I got it for Annabeth. It was a simple silver chain with a small owl charm. I look at her and see her smiling slyly. I play a mad expression across my face.
"You peaked!" I half shout as the elevator door closes. Annabeth smirks and pushes the lobby button.
We step out onto the street. Where to begin, I have no idea.
"Where should we start?" Nico voices my thoughts. Thalia's eyes widen and sparkle with delight.
"The meatpacking district." Annabeth and I groan at the same time.
"Oh gods, not there again." Annabeth says, remembering our one month anniversary. We had gone to central park for a date and Hermes ambushed us, issuing a quest. We had been following a monster and long story short ended up covered in sewage.
"What?" Thalia questions, I guess we never told her. Annabeth explains what happened, I jumped in a few time, and that sealed the deal. Meatpacking district here we come.
