Percy's excitement caused him to be even more restless than usual. For the first time in 2 months the seven (plus Nico, Reyna, and Calypso) would be able to see each other again.
The demigods had tried keeping in touch via Iris Message, but the Romans were having trouble getting denarii accepted, and phone calls usually lead to monster attacks. With Frank and Reyna's duties as Praetors, Jason going between camps to build shrines, and him and Annabeth at their respective high schools, they had yet to see each other in what felt like forever.
Percy sighed. He could feel his stomach growling underneath his sweatshirt. He ran to the kitchen, hoping to find some leftover blue pancakes from breakfast. "Yes!" He called as he saw three pancakes waiting to be eaten. In no time, Percy had wolfed them down. He placed his plate in the sink and wiped the crumbs from his chin. The doorbell rang throughout the apartment. "I've got it!" He calmly opened the door to find the hallway empty. Percy's eyebrows scrunched together in confusion before realisation sparked across his features. "Take off your hat, Wise Girl." Annabeth removed her Yankees cap and sighed. "You know me too well." Percy just smiled and kissed her. She shrieked as he lifted her and spun her around. "I missed you." Percy murmured into her hair. Annabeth rested her head on his shoulder, "I know you did." He lead her into his living room and closed the door. "Mom, Annabeth's here!" Percy yelled into the office. Sally came out and pulled Annabeth into a hug. "Its good to see you again Annabeth." Annabeth smiled, "You to Sally." (Paul is at work right now, just incase anybody was wondering)
The nine demigods and Calypso (I don't know what Calypso is. Demititan?) all gathered around Percy's living room. "I'm going grocery shopping because someone ate all the food!" Called Sally as she made her way to the door. "Hey! I'm a growing boy, I need my daily nourishment!" Percy called back. "So what do you guys wanna do?" Asked Jason, who was spread out on the floor. "Truth or dare?" Suggested Piper. A chorus of agreements sounded. "Percy, truth or dare?" Asked Leo, who was fiddling with some wires.
"Dare."
"I dare you to switch clothes with Annabeth."
Percy looked at Annabeth. She wore a loose t-shirt with ripped skinny jeans. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to his bedroom. They emerged wearing the others clothes. Annabeth looked comfortable in Percy's sweatpants and hoodie. Percy... looked like the opposite. Annabeth's shirt was stretched over his chest and was 3 inches too short, her jeans only made it to mid thigh so it looked like he was lowriding. Percy turned bright red as everyone erupted into laughter. "Oh man! If I had a phone this would so be going on instagram." Leo said, gasping for air. They disappeared once more and came back as they originally were. They sat back down. "Nico, truth or dare?" Nico seemed to consider his options, "Dare." Percy grinned evilly, "I dare you too-" He leaned over and whispered the rest into his ear. Nico blushed, "No."
"C'mon!"
"No."
"You have too!"
"NO!"
"Too bad! Now be a good little Ghost King and do the dare."
Nico glared at Percy but stood up. Percy smiled triumphantly before going over to the computer and typing in the search bar. Classical music began playing through the speakers. "Lets hope there isn't a monster attack over this." Nico grumbled. He began to do a very clumsy version of ballet to the violin symphony. His face remained red as he wobbled in an arabesque before falling over. The song ended and Nico sat back down. The demigods laughed and clapped at his performance. "Bravo, Nico. You make a wonderful ballerina." Said Leo with a fake british accent. "Shut up." Nico growled, Leo stuck his tongue out in response.
