Half-Blood Halloween

Chapter 1: Percy is blond!

Halloween this year was on a weekend, and Chiron decided to host a Halloween party at camp, which I think was a really great idea. Almost all of the campers were coming back in for the weekend just to celebrate Halloween night. It was kind of felt like summer again…

I'm standing in front of my bathroom mirror in the Posiedon cabin, fitting on my new wig for Halloween. I was going to be a surfer dude, the kind with huge boards and bleached hair and smooth tans. My mom is the one who gave me the idea, and I liked it. The wig was a little itchy, and blond. It looked pretty realistic, and I could hardly recognize myself without my usual black hair.

Next I went to my camp backpack and pulled out my favorite swimming trunks, blue with darker blue wave designs. I put on a surfing top, along with a beaded wooden necklace that looked like any surfer would wear it. My even tan helped me out with looking beachy. People say I always look beachy, especially Annabeth. I also decided to go barefoot. To top it all off, I carried around a huge surfboard that went way over my head, but luckily it was surprisingly lightweight. It was a rental. But I was ready.

Tyson was also getting dressed. He wanted to be a clown, because he saw them in this parade in New York, and he was instantly inspired. "Clownies!!" I remember him saying. I smiled at the thought. You have no idea how hard it is to find a XXXL clown suit, so we had one specially made.

The big guy was struggling to put on his face paint, and when he turned around, I couldn't help but laugh at his smeared features.

"How do I look?" he asked. "like a clownie?"

I was still laughing and it took me a moment to get a hold of myself and reply.

"Yeah, big guy. Let me help you with that paint. Here, use this towel to wipe it off."

I re-applied his makeup: white face, red rimmed mouth, and a red nose. It took me a while to do it, and I messed up a few times, but he turned out ok. I was really excited for tonight, the moon was full- perfect for Halloween. Annabeth, Thalia, Grover, Nico and I were all going trick-or-treating together around the cabins. Thalia was here because Hunters get time to roam free during holidays, and when she heard about the camp's Halloween party, she decided to come.

I thought Tyson would be scared of the dark and some of the camper's costumes, so he is staying back at our cabin to pass out all the blue candy my mom bought for us.

"Will you bring me back some peanut butter candies?" he said.

"Sure. I'll be back late tonight."

Annabeth is always perfect on her timing, so I wasn't surprised to hear a knock knock knock coming from the door at exactly 8:00. I reached to open the door, taking my surfboard and candy bag with me. I knew who she was dressed up to be as soon as I looked at her.

She was Hermoine Granger from those Harry Potter books, wearing a long black cloak with a Gryffindor badge and a red-and-yellow striped scarf. Her long blonde hair was down, but there was no need to curl it, it was naturally curly. She held a wand in one hand and a thick book in the other. It took me a few seconds to read the title, but eventually I deciphered: Hogwarts' Guide to the Dark Arts. I was relieved to see Annabeth, because I hadn't seen her since our quest in the Labyrinth. I guess I didn't realize how much I missed her until now.

"Hermoine Granger?" I said with a British accent.

"OHMYGODS PERCY, YOU'RE BLOND!!" was the first thing out of her mouth. She stared at me for like 7 seconds, then doubled over laughing.

"Jeez, Annabeth! I'm a surfer dude! You know surfer dudes are blond!" She didn't listen, she was too busy clutching her sides and cracking up. "Don't forget to breathe!!" I told her.

Thank the gods, at that moment, Grover trotted up behind Annabeth. At least I think it was Grover. He was wearing white bell-bottom pants and a white jacket, both with gold studs all over. The jacket was open in the front to reveal a gold undershirt. His wig was black and greasy and probably gelled, and he had on turtle-shell sunglasses. As a final touch, a guitar hung down on his shoulders. Elvis Presley satyr-version. I was impressed.

"….Whoa, dude you look very 50s. Cool costume!"

"Thank you very much!" he said, snapping his fingers and pointing finger guns at me.

Annabeth finally gathered her senses to look up at Grover. "Niiiiice" she said, and gave him a high-five.

"Ok," Grover cleared his throat. "Is it my shades or is Percy blond??" Here we go again.

Annabeth giggled. "See for yourself…"

He lifted his glasses, and I could tell he was trying really hard to contain his laughter. Oh man, this was annoying.

"Let's go get Thalia and Nico." I was anxious to change the subject and get going. They were driving me insane. Together, we walked to Zeus's cabin to pick up Thalia. I was half-hoping she would get laughed at as much as me, and I was curious to know what she dressed up to be.

We knocked.

"Hang on!" was Thalia's voice from inside. When she opened the door, it wasn't Thalia. It was a football player. A New York Giants football player. It was a while before I realized it WAS Thalia standing in the doorway under all that gear. She had it all. The shoulder pads, cleats, helmet, mouth guard, and even the official jersey.

"hey guy- NICE HAIR PERCY! HAHA!"

This was getting old….

Since Thalia had no other cabin mates, she left a big bowl of candy in front of her door, and a sign in ancient Greek that read: Please take one piece each. Happy Halloween!. I doubted anyone would follow her regulations.

The Giants were my favorite team. "New York Giant ROCK!" I shouted. "Oh yeah!"

Thalia smiled under her helmet. "Yesss! Pound it!" she thrust out her fist. I pounded it.

Annabeth was silent. After our cheering, she rolled her eyes as if we made no sense to her. "How could you two go for such a pathetic football team? San Francisco 49ers all the way!"

"Suuure, Annabeth." I added sarcastically. "Whatever you say." She shot me an evil glare.

Next, we find Nico, go trick-or-treating, then have an awesome after party. This was going to be the best Halloween ever. When we did find him….. You are never going to believe what he was……

What is Nico going to be for Halloween? Find out in the next chapter coming soon! I promise you something funny! Sorry there was like no percabeth at all, but I will have some slight percabeth in my next chapters.

I hope you all liked it! Please tell me what you think because this is my first fanfiction and all….
