Percy Jackson Christmas Special!
Hey guys! This is basically my version of a Percy Jackson Christmas special. There will be a collection of oneshots about Percy + Co. around the holiday season. Get ready for many ships, baking disasters, and a very messy party.
At the very end, after a few one shots, there will be a party that Piper is holding at her dad's house to celebrate the holidays.
Enjoy!
Sugar Cookies
"Seaweed Brain, that isn't a Christmas color." Annabeth sighed for the last time.
"But Annie!" he whined. "They'll taste bad to me if they're not blue! Let me put blue food coloring in!"
"Piper is going to be mad when she doesn't see a color scheme."
Percy scoffed. "Piper doesn't care about stupid color schemes. It'll be fine."
"This is my first-ever Christmas party and I'm not screwing it up with blue sugar cookies!"
"Tell you what," Percy put on a straight face, ready to negotiate. "I put blue frosting on the cookies, instead of food dye, but, I put red and green sprinkles on them. Eh?"
Annabeth let out a twinkling laugh. "Fine, Seaweed Brain. But if you mess them up - " She glared at him threateningly.
"Yes, I get it! I get it! Love you! Have fun shopping for yourself!" Percy kissed her on the cheek.
"It's not for myself, it's for the campers. Since Piper's party is so big, we need to get a lot of gifts." Annabeth explained.
"Whatever, Wise Girl." He slouched over. "I promise, by the time you get home, your cookies will be all done." He started to lead her out the door.
She turned around while walking. "Oh, and please don't watch TV while the cookies are baking. And use the oven mitts."
"Mmkay."
"And remember not to frost them as soon as they get out, because then they'll crack. And - "
"Okay, bye, Wise Girl. See yaaa!" He slammed the door shut and sighed.
"First thing's first. Where are the oven mitts..."
Yes. After three pairs of oven mitts and two batches of burnt dough, Percy Jackson, 2-time hero of Olympus finally took out the pan.
"Okay, what now..." he said after doing a little victory dance.
Annabeth opened the door and saw Percy doing his happy dance.
"Why are you dancing? And how many batches of cookies did you get done?
"Well, 1.) I'm dancing because I actually finished baking a batch of cookies! and 2.) I only finished one batch of cookies...
"One batch." she paused. "In 45 minutes."
"Sorrryyyy..."
"Oh, come on, Seaweed Brain! This isn't going to be easy, but I need you to bake more cookies." Annabeth sighed.
"More cookies? It's not going to work out! It could take me, like..." He did the math in his head. "2 more hours!" Percy said while hyperventilating. "Why don't you make them Annie? You seem to know what you're doing, right?
"I would, but I'm putting up the decorations." Annabeth said slyly.
"I'd like to put up the decorations!" he immediately jumped up. "Please, no more cookies." he begged.
"Okay, sure. I'll do the cookies." she avoided his eye contact, smiling. "But Percy, remember. You won't get to put on the blue frosting."
"Okay, okay fine, I'll do the cookies!" Percy ran to the kitchen, clutching his blue frosting and immediately putting another batch in the oven.
Annabeth went to the closet and took out a box. She whispered to herself, "Bribing Percy with blue frosting works every time."
