Hey! I threw this together in honor of Leo Valdez because, let's be honest, who doesn't love Leo? These are a few of his…moments I've created. I only own the plot. Enjoy and R&R!
The Argo II floated through the air, gently swaying with the movement of the winds. Coach Hedge had resigned to his own dorm to watch a Chuck Norris marathon on his TV. Leo had set the large Greek trireme to autopilot, and the seven were sharing stories around the table in the kitchen.
They had picked up several pizzas from a Papa John's. It was getting close to three in the morning, and none of them had slept in the past twenty-four hours. Piper was finishing up a tale from her days at the Wilderness School.
"So after they posted who had made the Symphonic Band, we saw that Isabel, the rude girl from earlier, had made first chair clarinet. For the rest of the year Leo and I called her Squidward. Leo actually said it to her face though."
Percy laughed. "Squidward. Of course you did."
"Who's Squidward?" Jason asked.
"That light blue thing on SpongeBob with nasal issues. He talks like this." Leo imitated his voice. Annabeth laughed at his close impression of the cartoon character.
"What's SpongeBob?" Jason asked. It got quiet on the boat. Only Coach Hedge's yells to the TV screen could be heard, and even he was muffled by the closed doors.
"Are you serious?" Frank asked. Jason nodded.
Hazel rolled her eyes. "Come on Jason, even I know who SpongeBob is, and I had a seventy-year time lapse."
Annabeth pulled out her laptop and typed something in. She grinned and clicked on something. Annabeth repositioned the screen so the rest of the crew could see it. There was a framed picture of a pirate. It started speaking.
"Are ya ready, kids?"
"Aye aye, Captain!" Mysterious children's voices replied.
"I can't hear yoooooooou!" The captain pressed.
"AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!" The kids screamed back.
"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooh…"
"What is this?" Jason asked.
"Shut up and watch," Piper replied. The entire SpongeBob theme song played through. When it finally ended, the six demigods watched Jason with anticipation, waiting to see his reaction.
"What's the point of the show?"
"It has no point. That's the point," Leo replied, as if that was the answer to global warming.
"That's pointless."
"Exactly the point!" Hazel nodded enthusiastically. Jason sighed.
"You just don't understand," Frank shook his head in disbelief.
"Hey, if we had our own TV show we could change them saying 'SpongeBob SquarePants!' to 'Percy Jackson!' and it could still sort of make sense," Leo excitedly announced.
Leo's revelation silenced the other six demigods. Percy wore the Y U NO SHUT UP? expression on his face.
"Leo Moment." Piper announced. They all clapped five times in perfect unison: Clap, Clap, ClapClapClap.
Annabeth stood up. "You know, it's getting late. I think we all need to go to bed now."
The others agreed. They muttered a series of "goodnights" to each other before entering their own rooms. They all came to a silent agreement that while Leo had his point, it was pointless to point it out to Percy.
And that's the very short Chapter One of Leo Moment. Maybe it's a stupid idea, but what's done is done. Ideas/requests? You know what to do. Click the little blue button right down there or PM me! Love you guys!
