This is something I wrote in my free time after my stupid EOG prep… Anyway, pizza guys can get very lost, even to Camp Half-Blood…
"Umm… Hello?" A man stood on the beach, looking around confusedly. Percy, Piper and Annabeth, hiding in the shrubs surrounding the coast, could hardly contain their laughter.
"Uhh… where am I?" the man asked himself. He shook his head and was about to leave when Piper stepped out.
"Hey," she said, "who are you?"
"Oh, thank goodness," the man said. "Were you the one who ordered the extra-large cheese?" he asked, trying to peer around Piper who was blocking his view of the camp.
"Are you the pizza delivery guy?" Piper asked, layering her voice with charmspeak.
"Yes, I am, $27.99 please," he replied, holding out the pizza in his hand.
"You're not supposed to deliver the pizza here. You never saw anything out of the ordinary, and you're going to leave now. You just got lost," said Piper, charmspeak now in full force. The pizza man nodded mutely and turned to leave. "Wait!" said Piper. "You can give us the pizza and we'll deliver it ourselves." Piper smiled deviously, but the man shook his head, unsure.
"We aren't supposed to give out pizza to people who haven't paid for it..."
"Give us the pizza," Piper said, her voice low and threatening. The man gave her the pizza hurriedly and ran off, scared of the girl who could command such power using only her voice. Piper ran back to the bushes.
"Score!" she cried, opening the box and letting the smell waft out. "How often does THAT happen?" she squealed.
"More often than you might think. A few summers ago… well the Hermes cabin wouldn't let the guy take his pizza. Chiron finally found and untied the poor guy, but not before they did enough damage to check him into Bellevue." Percy shuddered, reliving the memory. "Anyway, Chiron banned pizza from the camp as a punishment. I haven't had pizza in years!" Percy shook his head mournfully. "I was tempted to ask for an extra extra extra large pizza as my gift from the Gods instead of having them acknowledge their children more…" Piper looked at him incredulously.
"You haven't had pizza in years? Your life is sad!"
"What life," asked Percy, laughing. "I'm too busy saving the world to sit down and eat pizza!"
"Well, we're just going to have to fix that, aren't we," said Annabeth, grabbing a slice of pizza. The three friends took a much needed pizza break and fell asleep on the beach to the sound of the waves.
Yep, it was short. Yep, the ending sucked. I know that, so critique other parts of my writing. Thanks!
