Job Market

Chapter 1

I do not own Percy Jackson or any of the businesses that I mention.

Review! By the way, the characters may seem OOC but that was intentional.

(Percy POV)

"Children," yelled Chiron, "Gather around and behold my demand." As all of the campers gathered into the grassy area, I saw my best friend, Annabeth. I smiled and ran over to her. We stood together as Chiron continued his rant. He was seriously turning into a jerk since he started drinking. This was taking way too long.

"What do you want?," I shouted to hurry him along. He glared at me then addressed all of the campers.

"You are all lazy bums and it's about freaking time ya'll earn your keep! You all have to get jobs ASAP."

"Sir yes sir," I yelled above the string of complaints and insults shouted his way.

"Is that some type of witty comeback designed to enrage me son of Poseidon?"

"No. fine I'll go get a job," I sulked.

"Yeah you do that or I'm going to tell on you," he said.

20 Minutes later….

"Hi my name is Perseus Jackson, I'm here to apply for a job."

"Whoop-di-do," the manager groaned sarcastically, "but if you don't mind me asking, why Victoria Secret?"

"Wait! I'm in Victoria Secret? Crap! Curse my deslexic mind."

"Yeah well you're disturbing our customers so could you take your tyrant outside?"

I turned around to see twenty people looking at me as if I was a giant cockroach swooping in to eat their children No offense Athena. I heard a growl in my head. I grimaced. Touchy touchy. I shot the manager the bird and walked outside. Well that was embarrassing. I sighed and drove to a place that was blue and grey. The sign said 'Law-Tarm.' Okaaay. Whatever. I walked inside and was propelled to the fish tanks by my insane longing for water. A man walked up to me and shook his head sadly.

"It's sad that these little fellas won't be sold," he said.

"Why."

"Well, the fish department worker said something along the lines of 'Screw whoever rules the sky for making us live in this dad-gum drought' (A.N. Ha ha I used and old word. :D) well after that he got truck down by lightning! Yeah I know weird, but nobody wants to work in the fish section of wal-mart anymore"

So that's where I am.

"Wait Why?"

"They think it's bad luck because the guy before Smith got trampled in a shopping cart race between two gothic kids and now Smith died so everyone is scared."

Wow. Well I guess they still remember Thalia and Nico. Just then a shrill voice in my head said, "I hate that gut. He's so mean to us. Help us son of Poseidon!" "Yeah P-man," cried another. I looked at the fish tanks then the fat, hairy man. Aw what the heck!

"I'll take the job!"
