A/N: Hey :)
First off Happy post-Christmas and New Years everyone! Damn it's already 2019? What in freaking Hades. I hoped everyone enjoyed the holidays and New Year's Eve and here's hoping that 2019 will be awesome. *Non-alcoholic toast*
I had this FF story idea milling in my head for around a month, two months. The story revolves around me interviewing PJO's favorite ship, Percabeth, in a late-night show setting, similar to Conan or James Corden. We'll be recapping all the good, bad, quirky that occurred in 2018. Ideally, I would have released this story prior to the conclusion of 2018 but that wasn't possible. Well, it's better to release it now then never I guess.
Enjoy!
From atop the 600th floor of the Empire State Building in NYC, please welcome your late night fanfiction co-host Hermes!
Hermes: Top of the evening everyone! I'm Hermes, aka the amazing, awesome god of messengers, trade, roads, sports, pranks, and basically, everything cool you could think of. That's basically Hermes in a nutshell. Hermes grins. The audience chuckles out loud.
Anyways, here's our host for tonight. You know him as your lovable, socially awkward, still hasn't gotten a date or had the balls to ask a girl out after nearly two centuries of existence on this mortal world late night fanfic host FrictionFiction108. Take it away!
Audience applauses as Friction appears from behind the curtain, pumping his fists and acknowledging the crowd. He makes his way towards his desk, sliding into his rolling chair which Friction most definitely uses as a toy. It is not before, though, Friction gives Hermes a dirty stink eye.
Friction: Wassup everyone? Welcome to the 600th floor in the Empire State Building here in the beautiful Big Apple! As a mortal, I'm kind of surprised they even let me film and visit up here. And ... ok, first I need to address what in Hades kind of intro was that Hermes?
Hermes smirks. Hermes: Hey. Just repeating the lines you gave me during our pre-show practice run.
Friction: You did NOT have those lines during practice...
Hermes shrugs. Hermes: Ok I might HAVE made some slight modifications to the original script. I'm the god of liars, deceits, and pranks. If I have the opportunity to pull off a prank, you can bet a golden fleece I'm taking that chance. Seriously you NEED a girlfriend Friction. Step yo game up!
Friction: Shut the f*ck up Hermes. Easy for you to say being a supernatural god...
Hermes smiles dreamily. Hermes: Being a god is amazing, isn't it? Dude even Ares has been in a relationship with Aphrodite for around ten centuries and that guy isn't exactly the most charming or flattering to be around...
Friction has a flat expression. Friction turns back to the audience and camera, muttering how he should have hired Apollo instead as his late night co-host. Friction: You're so damn lucky you're a god and you could zap my butt if I tried talking back to you. Enough of me, let us get to the REAL stars of tonight! I'm so excited to be joined by two of our favorite characters. You know them as your number one PJO ship. Please give a warm and hearty welcome to Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase!
Audience cheers as Percy and Annabeth walk outside from the side of the stage. Annabeth is looking fabulous wearing a long, olive green sleeveless dress, her long curly blonde hair rolling down freely on her shoulders. Percy isn't looking too bad either, dressed up in a navy blue suit and tie, jet black hair gelled up. Annabeth, Percy smile and wave at the crowd as they make their way to the couch beside Friction's desk.
Already seated, the audience continues to clap and cheer. One audience member has a sign that reads "Percabeth4evaaaaaa". Another sign reads "Percy please marry me..."
Percy looks at the girl holding the sign and chuckles. Percy: Sorry ladies but I'm already taken. You'll find someone, don't worry...
Friction laughs he quiets down the audience. Friction: Everyone loves Percy, don't they? That was a rather warm welcome for the two of you...
Annabeth laughs. Annabeth: Honestly Percy and I are more than used to these types of warm receptions. It's really flattering all the love and support we get from the PJO community.
Percy nods Percy: Absolutely. PJO fangirls are no freaking joke dude!
Friction: Hey don't forget fanboys too. There are definitely fanboys in the PJO community. Ahem .. ahem ... Friction coughs as Annabeth, Percy, and the audience laugh. In the corner, Hermes is rolling his eyes muttering the words "kiss-ass".
Friction: So what's up with the two of you? How've you been?
Annabeth: We're doing amazing! We just arrived in New York two days ago for Christmas. It's really great to be back in the city after spending our fall semester at the College of New Rome. I might be a Cali girl but New York has an intangible charm and luster which I love. Especially during the winter holiday season. Percy and I were at Rockefeller Center taking some photos of the beautiful Christmas tree yesterday.
Friction: Wow. How was it?
Percy: It was pretty awesome. Annabeth and I were able to skate a bit at the ice rink. Afterward, we decided to have dinner at Annabeth's favorite burger joint, PJ Clarkes. Annabeth was dressed as beautiful as always. And I didn't look too shabby either if I do say so myself Percy says as he confidently straightens out his suit, to the chuckle of the audience.
Annabeth looks over at her boyfriend and smirks. Annabeth: I mean your little ol' girlfriend had to pester you to wear a suit but ok. You are lucky your girl knows how to fasten and tidy up her boyfriend. I was the one who picked out Percy's suit for the interview tonight you know...
Friction: Aww how thoughtful of you Annabeth Friction jokes as the audience laughs.
Percy flashes his girlfriend a romantic little side eye. Percy: You know you didn't need to mention that last part babe...
Annabeth: Seaweed Brain, you NEVER dress up. If it wasn't for me blackmailing you with my cute puppy dog eyes you wouldn't have dress up. I have to take advantage of these little moments. Your mom is right Percy; you look really handsome in a suit! Much better than the typical "scruffy, cute Percy look" although I do begrudgingly like that version of Percy as well.
Percy sighs. Percy: Are you seriously going to tease me in front of the WHOLE fanfic community?
Annabeth grins. Annabeth leans close to her boyfriend, flashing him a super cute smile and kissing him on the cheek. Annabeth: I'm your girlfriend babe. Our relationship is predicated upon me teasing you. And you love me too much. I know you...
Percy wants to look angry at his girlfriend. However, seeing her girlfriend's teasing little smile and twinkle in her gray eyes that he was all to use to at this point in their relationship, Percy couldn't help but smile Percy: You're very lucky your boyfriend has a VERY high tolerance level to his girlfriend's shenanigans as Percy playfully pokes his girlfriend in the stomach, Annabeth giggling.
Audience awws out of cuteness. Friction moves around in his chair, his fanboy self getting the best of him no matter his attempts to suppress them.
Friction: Ok you two stop acting so cute. I have a show to run... Friction fanboys as Annabeth and Percy laugh.
Annabeth: Alright we'll stop fooling around. FOR NOW, Annabeth says, eyeing Percy, he himself flashing his girlfriend a patented Percy smirk.
Hermes fakes vomit. Hermes: Seriously please get a room you two. I don't know whether or not fanfic would allow this type of PDA. Youtube already demonetized the heck out of most of its videos for no apparent reason this year. Let's not let that be the case for late night fanfic...
Friction: Moving on, it's almost New Years you two! That's unbelievable...
Annabeth: I know! This might sound cliche but it only felt like yesterday the year started. It's amazing how time flies so quickly...
Friction: Absolutely. Being that the year is about to end, I thought it would be great to reflect a bit on everything that happened, events, moments. Trends. I have to ask as demigods, are you familiar with the trends that affect the mortal world?
Percy chuckles. Percy: Unfortunately. As demigods, we try our best not to intermingle and stay out of mortal affairs. Even the Mist though can't hide all the weird mortal trends. Remember that whole "Yanny or Laurel" debate?
Annabeth's expression falls flat. She groans. Annabeth: Ugh. That whole thing was so stupid! They basically interposed audio samples of someone saying Yanny and Laurel. Since the two recordings have similar wavelengths and frequencies, depending on what audio frequency spectrum your ears are more attuned to you'll hear either Laurel or Yanny. It's like that dumb "what color is that dress?" controversy...
Friction: I mean I still heard Laurel Annabeth. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't hear Yanny.
Percy eyes Friction cautiously. Percy: No offense dude but I DEFINITELY heard Yanny.
Friction: What. How though? Tell me how! This stupid little thing bugged me for days Friction yells, visibly irritated.
Percy: I just heard it. I don't know how to explain...
Annabeth eyes Friction and Percy in disbelief. Annabeth: Are we seriously going to have this conversation now...
Friction: I mean I DON'T care about this Annabeth but I need to know how your boyfriend hears Yanny when everyone and their grandmas heard Laurel.
Percy: I'm the super powerful demigod here. It's possible my hearing is much better than yours. No offense...
Friction: Ok that's NOT how demigod powers work...
Annabeth: Boys stop! Please. We're on live now... Annabeth mutters, acting as the voice of reason. Annabeth: Going back to your question, the "Yanny or Laurel" were one of many rather dumb fads that overtook the internet. We were actually able to get internet access at Camp Half-Blood and College of New Rome the past year. You, mortals, are weird creatures indeed...
Friction: Really? I thought demigods couldn't use phones or the internet.
Percy: We still can't broadly. However, the Hephaestus cabin was able to wire and set up broadband that would be undetectable by monsters this past year. Camp Half-Blood had internet fever for days once we discovered YouTube, Twitter, Reddit...
Hermes smiles. Hermes: You are finally enlightened by the all-powerful internet. No need to thank yours truly for creating that thingymajig. Your thank you is much appreciated though. YouTube was all the snake's idea though. It's not by chance the first video uploaded was of a man visiting the zoo...
Annabeth: Can I ask Friction. What's up with all these "challenges" mortals do? It seems like every other week there's a new internet challenge sweeping the world. There was the ALS Ice Bucket. Mannequin Challenge. Tide Pod challenge, which for the life of me I will never comprehend how THAT ever became a thing. Recently, the Kiki challenge...
Percy: Oh gods the Kiki challenge. The Apollo and Ares cabin had a literal war against one another to see who could do the Kiki challenge better.
Friction: You're kidding me...
Percy: I wish I was. It started off as a fun little thing in the Apollo cabin. Of course, the Ares kids being the Ares kids teased the hell out of them for doing that. The Apollo kids challenged them to a, er, Kiki face off you could say. And obviously, children of Ares never back down from a challenge so they said yes. For some reason, one of the Apollo kids let Travis and Connor drive their chariot while they were filming. Those doofuses ended up driving their chariot off into the road just as the Apollo kid was exiting the chariot. It took a lot of ambrosia and Apollo's rhymes to heal him. Suffice to say Travis, Connor and the Apollo cabin are not on good terms.
Hermes shrugs. Hermes: Yep that sounds like something my sons would do.
Annabeth: If there is anything 2019 can do better, it's less dumb internet fads. Don't make Nicki Minaj or Kim Kardashian trend on Twitter mortals. Please... Annabeth states. Audience murmurs in general agreement.
Hermes: You haven't even talked about the real gold of the internet. The memes. The memes combine everything I love. Deceit. Pranks. The beautiful art of trolling. My favorite one has to be the Spongebob ones. Evil Patrick is a classic and Squidward represents all of us deep down.
(A/N: RIP Stephen Hillenburg, creator of SpongeBob)
Annabeth: Few things confound me about the mortal world but I will never understand this"meme culture..."
Friction: Annabeth, young one, you have SO much to learn... Friction says, like a sensei to his student. Rule 101 of the internet. If someone or something is meme-able, it will become a meme. Just a fact.
Percy: They didn't have to do dirty for Marvel 's Infinity War though, with their "I don't feel so good Mr. Stark..." memes and gifs...
(A/N: RIP to Stan Lee as well, writer-editor creator for Spiderman)
Friction sighs. Friction: The internet is like the Fates Percy. All of us wants to understand how it works but it's probably best we don't. Anyways continuing, obviously as this is a late night fanfic show, I HAVE to ask about fanfic. As you probably know PJO is part of a vast collection of beloved fandoms in the fanfic community, including Harry Potter, The Mortal Instruments. Do you ever feel like you're in competition against one another?
Percy: Eh not really. We do our own thing, Harry Potter, TMI, Star Wars does their own. They have their magical, extraterrestrial issues to deal with. We have, er, both the Gods and monsters trying to screw us over. Same types of struggles. Different stories.
Friction: Of course the best part of any story, I personally feel, are the romance pairings. You two probably are familiar with Percy/Annabeth centric romantic fanfics. Or, as we lovingly like to call you two, Percabeth. First off, your ship name. Love it, hate it?
Annabeth: It's kind of cute admittedly. Our friends teased us with that ship name first week Percy and I began dating. But I grew to like it...
Percy: Well my name is first so I'm definitely cool with it... Percy grins, which lands him a loving punch on the shoulder by his girlfriend.
Friction: Percabeth fanfics are absolutely everywhere on fanfic! People are so invested and in love with you two's relationship. Why do you think that's the case?
Annabeth: I... I really don't know. I know that's an answer most people wouldn't accept but honestly, it puzzles me...
Percy: I ... I guess people see themselves in us through our relationship. Admittedly, the first time I met Annabeth, it wasn't exactly ... pleasant. Annabeth seemed like a super smart, sassy girl who aggravated me. A LOT. She also puts the tv on way too loudly whenever we watch Netflix. Still does...
Annabeth rolls her eyes Annabeth: Gee thanks, babe...
Percy: Hey I'm getting to the good part! However, the more I got to know this girl, I started to realize how sweet, warm, and caring of a person Annabeth is. Annabeth might seem tough and stoic on the outside. But, being her best friend for 4 years, I know Annabeth always has your back and is there for the people she loves. Really, that's what everyone looks for in a relationship. A girl or guy that you know with all your heart will be there for you when you need them. I ... I guess that's why people really love our relationship. And why I love this girl a lot...
Audience awws. A little smile appears on Annabeth's face. Annabeth quickly punches her boyfriend again, though the punch is more loving in nature.
Annabeth: Are you trying to make me emotional Seaweed Brain. Sheesh... Annabeth jokes. Annabeth looks like she has some teardrops in her eyes, though she tries to hide them from the crowd and camera's view. Annabeth: This guy right here, am I right?
Friction smiles. Friction: I think you two just proved without even trying why PJO loves you. There have been hundreds of thousands of fanfic stories not only on fanfic but also Ao3, Wattpad revolving around Percabeth. Have you two had a chance to read some?
Annabeth: Oh absolutely. It's amazing how innovative and out of the box readers can be with their fanfic stories.
Percy: It's really weird reading about ourselves. However, it's so fun! Like I read a fanfic where I'm a leader of the Olympians. Holy Hades. Never knew I had that much of a tough-ass persona. That should really go to Coach Hedge.
Annabeth giggles. Annabeth: Everyone sees Percy as this tough, macho guy with these amazing, supernatural superpowers. And, obviously, Percy is that. However, the person I came to know and love is the warm, sweet, cuddly guy I could always count on to make me laugh and brighten my day. Seriously, ladies, he's mine. Hands off...
Percy frowns. Percy: Ruining the tough dude image here babe. Come on now... Percy states as his girlfriend playfully smile.
Friction nervously shifts around his chair, hesitant about asking his next follow up question. Friction: Um, have you two had the chance to read my fanfics? Just Friends? Yeah, this is totally shameless self-promotion my bad...
Annabeth laughs. Annabeth: As a matter of fact, we actually did!
Friction: Oh. Well, um, that's ... that's great! So whaddya think? Love it. Absolutely love it? Friction asks, smiling.
Annabeth and Percy, though, look at each other. There's an uneasy look in their expressions, unsure of how to respond.
Percy: Uh well...
Annabeth: It's ... it's rather... Annabeth continues.
Friction frowns. Friction: Ok what...
Percy: Ok, so like your story is good. Like, wow congrats please keep writing. Insert more praises. But, um, there are things which I believe could be SLIGHTLY improved...
Annabeth: For starters, you make me act so goofy, especially around Seaweed Brain. I have you know I'm much more well mannered than that.
Friction: You two DO act goofy around each other though! It's why I and so many other PJO fans love Percabeth. We love how you can act so stoic and in control of things but when you're around Percy, you can relax, joke, play strangle him, and act, well, mortal.
Annabeth crosses her arms on her chest. Annabeth: I'm not goofy! I know my place! Second, I SO do not use my cute, large gray eyes to blackmail Percy. That is a VERY serious charge...
Percy smirks. Percy: I hate to break it to you Wise Girl but Friction hit the nail on the head with that one..;
Audience nods in agreement. Annabeth glares at her boyfriend.
Annabeth: Not my fault you can't handle all this amazing cuteness. Sucker... Annabeth states, casually flipping her curly blonde hair at Percy's direction.
Percy: You're a real funny girl babe. Also, I do feel that your romance story is way too slow-burn dude I know I'm an impatient person but still, what the hell, we should be together already!
Annabeth nods her head. Annabeth: I agree...
Friction: Really? But that makes it so much more interesting! This back and forth tension, each of you trying to cope with feelings of love towards each other but ultimately denying them. This fear of journeying into a new path and direction in your relationship. That's the drama we love!
Annabeth shrugs. Annabeth: Eh. In real life, Percy and I would never be THAT ignorant of each other's feelings. Even at a young age, we sort of knew the both of us liked one another.
Percy: If I can kill Kronos and Gaea, I'm pretty certain I have the confidence to reveal my feelings towards Annabeth.
The audience loudly applauds. An audience member holds a sign that reads "GET PERCABETH TOGETHER ALREADY PLZ I CAN'T TAKE IT. I HATE YOU FOR MAKING THEM NOT REALIZE THEY LOVE EACH OTHERRRR..."
Annabeth: I agree with the audience. You also don't need to torture your readers with will they, won't they drama Friction. I think it would be interesting if you showed readers how our relationship molds and forms during the course of us dating Annabeth adds.
Percy: Also faster, more consistent updates wouldn't hurt. Your updates are like if Morpheus put a time spell on you times a million...
Annabeth: Also, WHY did you have to separate us! Why! Ugh, you know how terrible it was when that b*itch of a goddess Hera took Percy away from...
Friction: OK OK stop guys. Points are taken! This feels like a harangue of mean guest reviews gods... Friction mutters. Unfortunately, we have to be leaving soon. Annabeth and Percy have plans to dine at Lombardi's Pizza before returning to Camp Half-Blood. I have to get back to making some apparently much-needed edits on my fanfics along with an aftershow meeting with Hermes... Friction says as he eyes Hermes.
Before we leave, there's a few, quick fun questions I'd like to ask which I call, the lightning round!
A booming flash of thunder is heard in the background.
Friction: Zeus what the hell. I meant figurative lightning! That's like the fourth time this week Zeus has done that...
Hermes: It's the holiday's dude. Dad might have been drinking a bit tonight. Give him a break...
Friction: Ugh anyways, first question. If you two weren't supernatural, awesome demigods, what would you be?
Annabeth: Hmm, that's a really interesting question. I would love to work as an architectural designer either in New York or California. New York City is such a vast, open canvass to work with as a designer and there's so much that could be improved on. Especially the gods awful NYC subway...
Percy: Surfer. Definitely surfer. Or maybe a marine biologist. I hate biology though. I don't get why I need to memorize that thing that makes plants green is called chlorophyll. Possibly the most useless thing I've learned in my educational experience. Now you know why I like to get kicked out of schools...
Friction: Percy is affectionately known as Seaweed Brain by you Annabeth. It's pretty much become his first name at this point among PJO fans. I want to give Percy a chance at redemption to change that narrative. Annabeth, what's the smartest thing your boyfriend has done?
Annabeth: Being my boyfriend. By far. Annabeth nonchalantly says. It's a decision I KNOW he won't regret...
Percy grins. Percy: Ahhh can't argue with that. This girl is too irresistible to leave...
Friction smiles Friction: Glad we can have a consensus on that. Now, warning before I ask this to you Annabeth. You might get a little, er, heated at my questions. I don't want to ask them if you're not comfortable...
Annabeth smiles. Annabeth: Oh come on Friction. We're friends here. This is a late night fanfic show. I can handle a little teasing!
Hermes: I mean in The Battle of the Labyrinth, you were jealous and moody about Rachel's friendship with Percy. So don't blame me if I question the authenticity of that statement...
Annabeth: Ignore that comment from Hermes...
Friction: Alright. I warned you Annabeth. So, as you know Annabeth, you two have a big following not only on fanfic but also Tumblr and Pinterest. Pinterest especially.
Percy: Oh yeah. I saw one funny Pinterest post of what I and Annabeth texting one another would look like. It was pretty accurate...
Friction: Now, I'm not propagating anything by stating this. And I don't believe it. There's been a little conspiracy, you could say, going around Pinterest that Annabeth's curly blonde hair might not be naturally curly and Annabeth manually curls her hair every morning. What are your thoughts about that?
Annabeth blinks her eyes. Annabeth: What? Who ... where ... what kind of dumb question is that?
Friction: Hey! As I said, I don't PERSONALLY believe that. You don't seem like a gal who is too into, er, FASHION. But it is a legitimate concern some readers have.
Annabeth continues to glare at Friction. Annabeth grabs the end of her curls. Annabeth: Of course it's naturally curly! Do you think I have time to curl this? I literally wake up 10 minutes before my college classes start each day. That's not even factoring in checking with College of New Rome guards about any monster activity around the area, which greatly messes up my schedule. This pretty hair curl I did for tonight's interview I had help from by Percy's mother. Friction, I expected better questions than this!
Friction helplessly looks at his buddy Percy for some solace from Annabeth's tirade. Percy though shrugs as if he's saying "dude your fault for questioning a girl's look. As a man. Never. Do. That..."
Friction: Ok ok chill Annabeth! I'm just asking.
Annabeth: Hmph what's next. Is Annabeth ACTUALLY blonde? Is she as pretty as people seemingly make her out to be compared to the other characters. Annabeth actually isn't as awesome a character as you make her out to be. Trust me I've seen that PLENTY of times...
Percy: I read a post about that. People were complaining how Annabeth doesn't have any true weaknesses. Trust me guys Wise Girl has her weaknesses. One of them is when I make a cute baby seal face at her. That always gets her...
Annabeth: Are you boys done... Annabeth flatly asks.
Friction: Er sorry. Continuing, a question about romantic ships. Again, I mean no harm in asking this. Apart from Percabeth, PJO has multiple other ships such as Jasper, Frazel, Solangelo, which are awesome in their own regard. There's also non-canon ships. Many of them involve Percy with, er, other girls other than Annabeth such as Reyna and Rachel. What's your thought on that?
Percy: Oh... Percy says, the smile on his face dipping. Percy shifts around in his seat, taking a cautionary peak over at his girlfriend. I am good friends with both Rachel and Reyna. Those two girls are amazing and honestly they don't need a guy or girl to be happy. They're awesome by themselves. But I'm not romantically attracted to either of them and I am really happy with Annabeth. Truly. Very much. Like, ok Annabeth I'm still your guy babe...
Annabeth: Shut up Seaweed Brain. Don't need to explain...
Friction: You, uh, can admit though some of these fanfic story shippings like Preyna and Percachel are cute. I'm not saying I WANT that. I love Percabeth. Obviously. I wrote a whole fanfic story about you two. But in a theoretical, totally not at all real-life alternative universe scenario Preyna and Perachel are a cute, possible ship?
Percy: I mean, uh, ship pairings, in general, are cute Friction. If there is anything fangirls like it's romantic ships. So it's not necessarily because of the actual ship which makes them cute... Percy smartly diverts the question. Annabeth meanwhile doesn't say anything. Annabeth blankly stares ahead, looking at Friction more so like he's a monster rather than a mortal. Friction silently is thankful he had Annabeth give the crew members her dagger before they went live on air.
Friction: Sorry Annabeth. This was a very pressing question as well in the fanfic community. I wanted to get your feedback on this very hot button issue within the PJO ff community...
Annabeth: Just continue please before I turn you to monster dinner... she mutters.
Percy: Yes dude, please. Do it for a bro. Percy adds, clearly flustered.
Friction: Ok. Finally, the New Year's is slowly coming upon us. Are there memories you two have of 2018, good, bad? Any reflections you care to share with us.? That is if you don't want to turn me into a monster stew at the moment.
Annabeth smirks. Annabeth: I have a dinner date with Percy to get to after the show so as much as I would LOVE that I can't. However, in all seriousness, 2018 was pretty eventful. Even with all its down moments and tribulations, I can look back and remember some awesome moments. Like my first college semester at College of New Rome...
Percy: I'm not one for words or big, reflective statements but as we approach the end of the year, I think it's important we look back not only on all the awesome moments of the year but the people around us we consider close to and have impacted us. Being a demigod, you understand how short life is. I'm ... I'm fortunate to have Annabeth still in my life not only as my girlfriend but basically, as part of my family. I can't imagine spending my New Year's Eve with another person other than Annabeth...
Annabeth, though she still looks rather pissed at Friction, smiles at her boyfriend's comment. She snuggles up next to him, nudging her head on his shoulder. Annabeth: You have such a way with words tonight don't you Seaweed Brain? As much as this guy annoys me each day he always reminds me why I fell in love with him in the first place. I ... I always said when I was younger I wanted to have and be part of a family. And I think I found it with this big guy here...
Audience awws again. One member yells "like kiss her alreadyyyyyy."
Friction smiles. Friction: I think that's a great way to end this New Year's special fanfic show. Thank you, everyone, for tuning in! Next, on fanfic tv, holiday cooking with Demeter and Apollo. That should be an interesting watch. Enjoy your holidays and New Years and let us hope to the gods 2019 will be amazing! Now uh if you'll excuse me Annabeth and Percy, I need to go ...Friction says as he quickly tries to depart away from Annabeth.
Annabeth: Oh no you don't Friction. I'm having a word with you before we leave. Okay, now tell me who the hell is saying all this sh*it about me on fanfic, huh? Is Annabeth hate an actual thing in PJO fandom? Perachel and Preyna are NOT anymore cuter than Percabeth. Who in Hades would even suggest that... Annabeth states, crossing her arms, as the camera quickly cuts away...
Percy: Also, uh, is Perachel and Preyna actually a thing dude? Why are people doubting how much I love Annabeth. We literally journeyed through Tarturus together and survived. I don't know what else will prove how strong our relationship is.
Hermes also joins in. Hermes: Clearly, PJO fans' favorite Olympian god is Hermes Friction, right? Right? Please don't tell me its Poseidon, gods dammit. That's so not fair man! Poseidon has always been the cool grandpa in the fam. Uncle isn't THAT awesome...
There it is! Hoped you loved it! This was a really fun one-shot to make, me basically just goofing off and semi-ranting about Percy Jackson :D. Pissed off Annabeth is always cute to write XD. I hope no one was offended by any one of my jokes and satire. I poke fun at myself a lot and this is all in harmless fun.
This story is dedicated to all the fanfic users I've spoken and become friends with who've been with me during the ups and downs of both fanfic and personal life this year. 2018 had its tough moments but reading your guys reviews and PMs definitely brighten my days up. So thank you so much :333. As the start of 2019 is already upon us, this is hoping that 2019 will bring about more awesome memories and moments for all of us. Cross my fingers I'll actually finish Just Friends this year!
Leave a fav and review if you can. I've been swamped with my job during winter break, which doesn't even make my break from school a break, so I'd really really appreciate it:333. Also, let me know if you enjoy these types of one-shots. I have plenty of ideas I would love to write about. For those curious as to when the next chapter of Just Friends will be released, I'm hoping to upload on the weekend. If not, next week. Till then see you guys! Love yaaa.
