A Day in the Life
A Percabeth Fanfiction
Based on "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles
It's a little bit out of their character! Sorry…but then again you don't have to read it, it is my first fanfiction by the way!
I do not own the Percy Jackson series, obviously.
There they were. The mid-noon sun was sending waves of heat on the back of Percy and Annabeths necks. Sweat beaded on their foreheads, and all of the muscles in their body were clenched in awaiting preparation for movement, for battle. One week ago Percy had asked Annabeth for this duel, and it was finally here.
People crowded into the wooden stands, wearing hats and sunscreen and tank tops. Some held up small signs saying words of encouragement to the warriors.
"It's ok Wisegirl, losing doesn't make you any less smart.. Or it might."
"Shut up Seaweed Brain, at least I'll always be smarter than you." Annabeth whispered haughtily in his ear.
"Try saying that when I have a sword to your chest. Let's make a deal."
"What kind of deal?"
"Loser has to do whatever the winner wants. By anything, I mean ANYTHING. That clear?" He breathed.
"Crystal. Just make sure you know what you're doing to yourself here." Annabeth spoke smugly.
"Oh, I do."
There was light chatter then silence as Grover, the agreeable referee, came and held his fist up in the air. He read aloud the rules as quickly as he could and finally smiled as he said, "BEGIN!"
Percy made the first move, and swung his sword towards her shoulder. She was too quick for him though, for she moved her weapon and stopped his with a loud and satisfactory clang. They continued the swordplay until Annabeth tripped on a log on the side of the arena and landed on her side, nearly defenseless. Percy had the advantage, and in the extreme adrenaline running through his mind, he jumped onto the ground on top of her. Annabeth kept him above her with her knees as she tried to stretch her arms out enough to grab her weapon that was now only centimeters from her grasp. It was too late however, he had his sword at her neck and her hand had already gone to her side in retreat. It was so frustrating for her, she scratched at the grass trying to let some anger out that she was unable to show to Percy.
"I win Wisegirl, ready to do exactly what I want?"
"Who said it was over?" She pushed Percy off in his distracted state then clenched her fist around the hilt and charged at her opponent sitting on the ground in awe. Now she had the sword pointed at his belly button as she kneeled in front of him.
"Alright, now that it's truly over Seaweed Brain," She smiled. "You can do what I want."
The crowd applauded and cheered Annabeth on as she stood up to get the full affect of her victory.
"GAME!" Grover looked over at Percy and shrugged his shoulders, bleating a response. "Sorry Perrrcy."
He just smirked, "It's ok G-man, its not your fault I lost.. unless you helped me cheat.."
"Not what I do!" Grover trotted off with the rest of the crowd to the bighouse for lunch.
Percy just smiled again and looked at Annabeth, who was putting away her material and cleaning them off. 'She looks so beautiful,' He thought as he gazed, still a little dazed from the fight. 'Her long blond hair, how it just flows down her back on that blue tank.. I can even see her bra strap on that side..'
"Hey, you alright Seaweed Brain?" She sounded concerned about him.
"Huh? Ohh, yeah sure I guess. I mean-."
"Annie Laurie and uh, Peter! I need to tell you something." Mr. D interrupted them, and didn't even give them the dignity of calling them by the correct name.
"Yes, as ANNABETH and PERCY, we'll hear what you have to say." Annabeth said.
"Yeah, whatever. Anyway, there's been a problem, in the mortal world of course." He continued, as he sipped his Coke. The poor guy, he obviously missed that wine. "If you remember, there is still the terrible monster Echidna alive. She's basically the daughter of the Sea God," he looked over at Percy. "But you aren't exactly related. You see, she is really a serpent and dragon.. not human.. only partially. Anyway, she somehow made her way over to the beaches in California, and is causing havoc there that is unknown to mortals. The government is starting to catch on, they're starting to want to catch her and study.. and everything will be ruined!"
"And how are we supposed to fix this?" Annabeth asked with growing immpatience.
"If you couldn't tell Wise Girl, he's going to teach us how to defeat it." Percy smirked.
"Actually," Mr. D said shuffling around, "We don't know. We're sending you two on a quest to California."
