Hey All! I'm starting this for when I have ideas that are either spin-offs of my Siren on Ice Universe, a continuation of the story, or alternate universes. Prompts are welcome always, but I make no guratentees that they will get written. Thank you for all of your support! -Delta

"I'm not going to, Jackson," Yuri growled out. "Shouldn't we be using our time more wisely than, like practicing for the skate America cup?"

"It's for two nights, and I have magic water powers. We will skate, and it will be fun. Besides, I want you to meet a few of my friends other than Thalia. All they know of you is you call me insistently on the camp phone during the off season."

Yuri scoffed. "It is not my fault you are too stupid to take your head out of your ass and accept Yakov's offer yet."

Percy through a pillow at his face and giggled. "I will eventually, but Claudia is a wonderful coach and she is a perfect teacher for now. Now pack. Mom's not going to wait forever."

"Yes, like I believe that. Sally would wait for you and Thalia forever if she had to. You two have your mother wrapped around your little fingers," Yuri seethed. He reluctantly began shoving his blanket and pillow into his bag. Sally had already packed their duffle bags with their equipment into her rental car. Percy grinned and kissed Yuri's forehead.

"Be quick, and don't forget your phone! Yakov wouldn't be happy with you if you suddenly fell off the map."

"Really, Jackson? You are going to lecture me about that with the amount of times you have gown off the grid since you were twelve?" Yuri asked.

Percy didn't answer, he gave a cheeky smile before he pulled the ornate hair clip out of his hair. It glowed for a brief second before it turned into a ballpoint pen. He shoved it into his jeans pocket and pulled his hair up into a ponytail. Yuri gave him a look. "It would be weird if my sword suddenly went from being a pen to a hairclip.'

"As if you don't already look strange enough with your horrid orange shirt and that ridiculous necklace."

"It is a sign of achievement, dipshit," Thalia said from behind them. She was leaning against the door dressed in a similar outfit to Percy. She had a leather jacket on and a quiver strapped across her back. "Each bead is a representation of another year and summer we survive at camp."

"I still can't believe you two are making me go to this ridiculous warrior's camp."

"It isn't ridiculous. You'll have fun," Thalia said. "I promise I won't force you to go up the lava rock wall." She left the room shortly after that.

"Wait, what? Grace, get back here! You can't just say something like that then leave!" shouted Yuri after the daughter of Zeus. Percy laughed hysterically. There was nothing funnier than this.

Camp was aglow with light in the winter. The snow sparkled like glitter in the dying sun and there was life everywhere. Percy loved camp in the winter and had made an effort to spend a few days here since he was started coming to camp when he was twelve. At age fifteen, it was Percy's third year at camp over the new year, and he couldn't wait to introduce Annabeth, his camp best friend, to Yuri, his best friend.

It would have to wait a bit longer than he had hoped. After he'd given permission to Yuri to enter camp, they had found Chiron. The younger skater hadn't taken well to seeing a mythological creature and had promptly fainted. Thalia had simply rolled her eyes at him.

"Come on, twinkle toes, let's get him to my cabin," Thalia groaned.

"Your cabin?" Percy asked incredulously.

"Mom and Claudia both gave me strict instructions that he was not to share a room with you when they were not around. They don't seem to trust you alone with your boyfriend anymore."

Percy glared at his sister. "He is not my boyfriend."

"That is what you tell them. Doesn't mean they believe you," Thalia said. "Besides, I know you well enough that you want him to become your knight in shining figure skates."

Percy's head snapped up to meet her eyes. "Who told you that!"

"Georgi."

"Pot and kettle, Thals."

"I have no idea what you are talking about," she sniffed. If Thalia was going to call him out for his crush on Yuri, Percy was going to call her out on the one she had on his older rink mate.

"Whatever. Do you want his arms or his legs?"

"Legs. I hate how peaceful he looks when he's asleep. It reminds me that he isn't always a monster."

"Fine by me." They lifted up the small Russian blonde and began to drag him over to Zeus's cabin." Thalia never got along with Yuri, like most people. Percy sometimes wondered why he and Yuri even succeeded in becoming friends in the first place. They were polar opposites, but they got along surprisingly well for the actual lack of social skills Yuri had.

"Also, try to stick to English while he is here. Trying to talk to people at camp is bad enough without you and your boytoy slipping into a different language every ten seconds."

Percy gave her a look. "Watch it, Grace. I can still kick your ass in a sword fight and on the rock wall," he grunted as they made their way with Yuri in their arms.

"Whatever. I really doubt you can beat me with those dancer legs of yours."

"Ha, ha, I could easily break your neck with barely a flinch of my legs, they are that strong." It took so much power to even lift himself off the ground. He wasn't even going to get into how much power it took to do any type of jumps with multiple twists and spins.

They dumped Yuri onto Thalia's spare bed and dropped all of their bags in the cabin. Percy suspected Yuri was out cold for at least another hour. He wouldn't go too far from the arc of cabins. Keeping Yuri from screaming at the top of his lungs and embarrassing himself in front of all of camp.

Thalia blew out of there, and Percy followed quickly behind. Thalia's cabin freaked him out. He never wanted to get on the bad side of his uncle. Especially with his competition season heating up right now.

"Now I really know how terrified you are of my dad," Thalia snorted.

"You dislike him as much as I do, you just won't say it while you are here." Thalia glared at her brother but said nothing. One point for Percy.

"Percy! Thalia!" Stoll's called from across the way. The brothers made their way over to greet the pair.

"Conner, Travis, what kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into recently?" Percy asked good-naturedly.

There were matching mischievous look within their eyes. Percy knew it couldn't be anything good.

"Nothing too terrible," Travis said. "I finally asked Katie out, so that's been a new development."

"New indeed. I've practically been the only one wrangling our cabin and causing trouble since Travis started hanging off of Katie," Conner grumbled. "I'm curious to the blonde kid you just dragged into the Zeus cabin. New camper? New annoying younger brother for Thalia?"

Thalia moved to hit him. Conner flinched backwards and held his hands up in defense.

"I would never consider twinkle-toes to be a sibling. The kid is more obnoxious than the two of you," Thalia groaned.

"Be nice to Yura," Percy lectured. "He's been civil with you since he's gotten here."

"Civil, seaweed brain? Civil? That beast cannot be nice to anyone except you, ever," Thalia hissed. The Stoll's looked a bit perplexed.

"He's my friend. He's visiting me in the US for a few weeks. We've got a competition soon, and the few days I am here, he came with me," Percy explained. "He passed out when he saw Chiron and Grover in the Big House."

"Mr. D let an outsider in?" Travis asked. "That seems like a first."

"Yuri is an exception. We both need to practice, and my coach is out of country until the day of the competition," Percy said. "Chiron agreed to supervise us here, and Mr. D really had no say."

Which was mostly true. There was also the fact Percy technically wasn't supposed to have told Yuri and Chiron wanted to make sure he was trustworthy and wouldn't betray Percy to Kronos in any way, shape or form. Percy knew this, but he was not going to tell Yura if he wanted to live. When his best friend began to threaten him with his "knife shoes", it was never a good thing. Percy was grateful to ambrosia when it came to arguments with Yuri and with Thalia for that matter.

"Competition? I didn't know you were an athlete outside of camp training," Annabeth said coming up on the group. "When did you two get in?" She asked Percy and Thalia.

"Half an hour ago?" Thalia said. "I don't know, for some reason we had to drag Plisetsky

to my cabin because he is incapable of handling shock."

Annabeth gave Thalia a strange look.

"My friend from Russia is visiting. He's crashing here so we can practice before our competition later this week," Percy said.

"Russia?" the three said. Annabeth was beyond confused and hated having walked in on this conversation so late. It made little sense.

"You didn't say he was from Russia," Conner exclaimed.

"Eh, you would have figured it out the second he opened his mouth. His English is atrocious," Percy said.

"Who is to blame for that, Jackson? You encourage him not to speak in English so that you can practice whatever language he knows that you want to get better at."

Percy had the gall to look sheepish. "You know what? To save us all from embarrassment, I'm going to go wake up Yura. Maybe we'll go practice, or I'll shove him up the rock wall. It isn't like he doesn't deserve it."

"Great, run from confronting the love of your life. I still cannot believe you haven't told anyone about the sport you compete in!" Thalia called after him. "Oh wait! Here, you think you'll be ridiculed for it."

"Screw you, Thals," Percy called back. It was so like her to be a bitch about this.

"You are insane if you think I am climbing up that," Yuri stated staring at the rock wall that was oozing lava out its sides and down the front. "We have a competition in two days. You are fucking insane!"

"Not insane. I do this at least once a day during the summer here," Percy said. "You are nimble enough and have good reflexes. It should be easy for you."

"Says the boy with godly reflexes. Sometimes I think you are cheating when it comes to skating," Yuri grumbled. He took a step towards the wall and started to climb up.

"You say that, but you still manage to whoop my ass every time we are in the same competition," Percy replied cheekily.

"Get up here before I shove you face first into the lave myself!" Yuri called down, already halfway up the wall. Percy laughed. Yuri never backed down from a challenge from Percy. It was the reason why Percy was not going to be stupid enough to challenge him to a sword fight. Yura would probably impale himself on a sword trying to kill Percy.

He wondered if that was what true friendship felt like. Annabeth and Thalia both did the same to him a lot of the time. But sometimes he wondered if there was something more between him and Yura.

"What are you doing, slow poke?" Yuri called from the top. "If I didn't know any better, I would assume that you are scared, Jackson!"

Percy laughed. He called it. He knew Yuri would become obsessed with the rock wall.

During his first winter at camp, the one before they went to retrieve Nico and his sister from their school, Percy discovered about the night skates on the lake. The naiads and water nymphs put on a light show of colors underneath the ice, and it would light up in a similar fashion to the northern lights.

It was one of his favorite things to do at camp and wished it would happen in the summer. It just happened that he could not take more advantage of it. There was only a small amount of time he could experience the light show underneath the ice. A beauty he wished every figure skater could use and enjoy. Yuri was going to adore the magical ice. He may not admit it, but he was going to truly love it.

Percy dragged Yuri across the camp and down towards the lake at dusk. The lake was glowing in the distance. Both had grabbed their skates to join some of the other campers on the ice.

Yuri was confused beyond belief, which had turned into the motif of the day. Percy dragging him places was not anything new.

"Hurry up. I guarantee you will not want to miss this."

"You are crazy, Jackson, why do you do—," he trailed off. Yuri froze and stared at the kaleidoscope of color dancing across the lake. He was awestruck by the glowing, magical display in front of him. Percy wrapped his arms around Yuri's shoulder's.

"I have wanted to show this to you for years," Percy said gently.

Yuri looked at Percy with a smile.

"What the hell are you waiting for, Jackson? Let's get down there!" he shouted and took off to the dock to put his skates on. Percy hurried after him. They both had never been more thankful to be professional skaters. It didn't take them long to put their skates on. Both were on the ice in a handful of moments after they first glances at the lake.

Yuri and Percy glided out onto the ice in perfect sync and took a few minutes to warm up with leisurely laps. They enjoyed the show and tunnel of light and color surrounding them.

Both knew better than to throw hard tricks before competition, especially without the supervision of their coaches. It was also dangerous with amateurs surrounding them. Without either really thinking about it, they fell into their pairs skate routine that Yakov thought would be good for them last summer. He actually made the entire camp participate as a new form of torture, but it became something the pair really enjoyed doing.

It never felt as meaningful as it did right there on the angelic lake with each other. As they moved around and danced across the ice in perfect sync, they became oblivious to the rest of the camp, who had moved off the ice to watch the two boys create a gorgeous beauty on the ice. They moved musically and generously as it went along.

It was one of the best skates the pair had even done in their life, and it would be a fond memory for the boys in the years to come.

Thalia smirked the pair and watched in slight boredom having seen it many times before. Annabeth came to sit next to her. She'd been stumbling around on her skates with Thalia minutes before hand. She had made an offhand comment about Percy being a klutz. Thalia had a sneaking suspicion that Annabeth thought Percy was not graceful enough to be able to skate. However true it may be, because, yes, Percy did trip over his own two feet often and would lose spars because he wasn't paying enough attention.

Annabeth gasped when Percy pushed off the ground with incredible speed and grace and spun in the air. Thalia snorted at her friend. It was amusing to Thalia to see the Annabeth's reactions to her foster brother's life's passion. It shattered many preconceptions Annabeth may have had about her friend for a few years.

"Gods, how did he do that?" Annabeth exclaimed. "That should not have even been possible! Where did he even learn to do that?"

"Many years of dance lessons, skating lessons, private coaches, competitions and camps. He was taken out of school a few years back, so he could become a full-time professional skater," Thalia answered nonchalantly. "Twinkle toes is a few years away from the seniors league and a possible chance at the Olympics when he is eighteen."

Annabeth stared at Thalia, then back at the pair on the ice. She was waiting for Thalia to say just kidding, or psych, or something of the like, but it never happened. The pair on the ice finished and broke out into laughter, before the blonde Annabeth had yet to be introduced to started to yell at Percy in some eastern European language.

"Wait, you're serious?"

"Why would I lie about this? It is so embarrassing when I have friends over after school and he shows up in his ballet clothes with his hair pulled up in a bun."

"I never would have thought. He trips over his own two feet all the time!"

"Yeah, I know. It comes with his skating and ballet training screwing with his half-blood instincts. He can't control what he wants to do at times. His trained instincts from skating fight the ones ingrained to his DNA when he's at camp. It's strange to see."

The campers went back out onto the ice. Most stared at Percy and his friend, others went up to say how amazing it was. Annabeth was introduced to Yuri later on. She couldn't say she was fond of the Russian punk but accepted that he was Percy's best friend.

Percy refused to pick who was his favorite between Yuri and Annabeth. He feared both of them. He like living and wanted to stay that way.

It was a good few days at camp. Yuri never came back, but it was a good thing for the other half of Percy's double life to learn a bit about their friend they had never known before.
