Hey demigods! Another random oneshot! It's kinda my version of when Percy and Annabeth danced in the beginning of The Titan's Curse and based on the song Shut Up and Dance by Walk The Moon. Another pathetic shot at writing a songfic. So, yeah. VOTE ON MY POLL!
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO. Or Titan's Curse dialogue. Or the song lyrics. Or the song. Just my edits.
3rd Person's POV
"Dance, you guys!" Thalia ordered. "You look stupid just standing there!"
Percy looked nervously at Annabeth, then at the groups of girls who were roaming the gym.
"Well?" Annabeth said.
"Um, who should I ask?"
She punched Percy in the gut. "Me, Seaweed Brain."
"Oh. Oh right."
So they went onto the dance floor, and Percy looked over to see how Thalia and Grover were doing things. He put one hand on Annabeth's hip, and she clasped his other hand like she was going to judo throw him. Percy felt his hands get sweaty and clammy. They silently swayed for a beat for a couple seconds, before a quick, catchy song started.
"Really Grover?" they heard Thalia screech. "Walk The Moon? Shut up and Dance? What's wrong with you?! I said Green Day!"
Percy watched Grover bow his head in shame and fear of the pissed off daughter of Zeus as she raged over his choice of music. After 5 minutes of screaming at the poor satyr, Thalia grudgingly dragged Grover out onto the dance floor to dance.
Oh don't you dare look back,
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and dance with me
Percy's sea green eyes darted around, desperately trying not to meet Annabeth's startling gray eyes.
"Percy." she said.
Annabeth's hand touched Percy's face and made him look at her.
"Chill Percy." she said soothingly. "Just keep your eyes on me."
She gently removed his hands from her waist and took them in her own. Percy twirled her around and they spun.
This woman is my destiny
She said oh, oh, oh
Shut up and dance with me!
They danced in silence. Percy felt awkward as he twirled Annabeth around. When she came face to face with him, he awkwardly started to stutter.
"H-h-hi Wise Girl. Um…how-"
"Perseus Jackson," she scolded. "Shut up and dance."
Percy shut up.
She took my arm
I don't know how it happened
We took the floor and she said
"Good moves out there Kelp Head! You too Annie!" Thalia hollered, breaking the couple from their silence.
Percy complained, "Shut up Pinecone Face."
"Ha. As if." Grover muttered.
He tripped over his own two hoov-oops, sorry, feet, and fell on Thalia.
"Watch it." she hissed.
"Sorry." Grover muttered.
Annabeth laughed.
"Come on! Let's just have fun!" Thalia laughed. "Sing Annabeth sing!"
"Shut up!" Annabeth called.
"AND DANCE WITH ME!" Thalia yelled back with a snicker.
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me
"Agh! Shut up Thals!" Annabeth yelled.
"Admit it Silver Eyes! You're loving this!" Thalia teased.
Percy sent Grover a curious look. What the heck is going on? Grover shrugged as if to say, dunno. Beats me.
"Gah." Annabeth mumbled. "Percy, shut up and dance with me."
"But I didn't say-" he started, but was cut off by Annabeth's venomous glare.
"Okay."
Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and dance with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me
"Switch partners!" Thalia called. "Goat Boy here is a terrible dancer!"
Annabeth laughed and yelled, "No way!"
Grover called to Annabeth, "I'm hurt Annie!"
"Shut up Goat Boy!" she smirked.
"Annabeth." Percy said.
The daughter of Athena tilted her head at Percy. "Yeah?"
He smiled as another song struck up.
"Shut up and dance with me."
Okay. This. Is. Terrible. But. I. Don't. Care. Not my best, but I really wanted to complete this. I might do another chapter. You'll see. RRFF! For now, it's a oneshot. So, I don't apologize for my terrible writing 'cause I spent time on this! My time! I welcome flames because I get a chance to diss you. You get a whole chapter to yourself flamers and it's not gonna be pretty. So anyways, vote on my poll, and I'll see you on the next update!
Yours in demigoddishness, SoulHorse
