A/N: Merry Christmas Eve everybody! I decided to write a story about Christmas at Camp Half Blood─so that's what this is. Also, if you've ever heard of FictionPress, and you're a fan of mine, go to the website and search "Trevor Campbell & the Seekers of Light: Book One" and read it, and possibly review. It would really make my day. It's my story that I decided to put it on there, and only the prologue is up so far. If you could do that favor for me that'd be great. Also, this fanfiction sort of relates to Anthony Jackson, since Hayley Walsh, daughter of Aphrodite is here, as well as all of the other people are couples. Anyways, on with the story!
CHRISTMAS AT CAMP HALF-BLOOD
Snow delicately falls on Camp Half-Blood since Dionysus is feeling generous enough to do so. Percy and Annabeth are standing on Half Blood Hill next to Thalia's pine, watching everything going on─some people ice skating, the Aphrodite campers putting mistletoe everywhere, while the Hunters are right behind them taking it down. Several people play volleyball in the snow, which Percy never thought of trying. Annabeth snuggled into his chest, and he grinned. Suddenly, they were hit with a snowball.
"Hey!" Percy shouted. Clarisse and her other brothers and sisters from the Ares cabin were down at the bottom of the hill, making snowballs by the minute as if preparing for an epic war. Percy decided to make a snowball for himself and throw it at Clarisse, but she ducked at the last second. The war continued on and on. While Clarisse had her brothers and sisters on her side, as well as her boyfriend Chris Rodriguez, Thalia, Nico, Pollux, Katie, Will, Grover, Juniper, and Hayley Walsh, a daughter of Aphrodite joined Percy's team. It was quite an interesting snowball fight. Some people even began to use their powers! As Clarisse's dad is the god of weapons, she was somehow able to make snow form into the shape of a gun that shot tiny snowballs─Nico didn't know how she had managed to do that, but he knew he wanted one badly.
Percy was making more and more snow appear with the help of the sea from his father and a little bit of help from the Khione cabin, while Annabeth developed battle strategies. Thalia could control the air, and therefore protected her team against snowballs.
In less than five consecutive minutes, Annabeth already had an igloo built somehow, a fort for her team members to hide themselves in. The inside was pretty crammed because it was small, but Annabeth managed to make it in less than three minutes so it was pretty decent.
The snowball fight eventually stop, the Ares cabin saying that Percy's team were just quitters, thinking they had actually won, while Percy's team thought the opposite.
At breakfast, Turkey, candy canes, and other types of food you see at Christmastime were served. The day was already passing so quickly, maybe because everyone was excited for the party tonight at the Big House. It was one of the big traditions they did.
The Apollo cabin mostly did caroling at the other cabins, which sometimes annoyed us, but then again, it was better than having the actual Apollo here at camp where he'll issue us a prophecy than improvise a haiku every two minutes.
Usually the Aphrodite cabin did a Secret Santa tradition, since they loved shopping, and sometimes got other people into it as well.
While the Demeter cabin was making cookies for the party at the Big House tonight, they also made giant Christmas trees and joined with the Apollo cabin to make the lights─orders of Katie Gardner and Will Solace.
Stockings were hung in cabins, despite there not being any real fireplaces, except in the cabin of Hera considering she's the goddess of home, but nobody ever goes in there anyway.
The day soon passed and turned into nighttime. At the Big House party, mistletoe was hung on the roof everywhere because of the Aphrodite cabin's persuasive orders from Drew and Piper McLean, the two charmspeakers, thought Percy or nobody even knew when she suddenly turned girly and wanted their to be mistletoe hung everywhere─perhaps she was trying to give Jason a hint or something.
At the party, alcoholic Eggnog, which Pollux and his father, who seemed to be in a happy mood, was serving. The Stoll brothers attempted at getting some, being the mischievous sons of Hermes, but Chiron scolded them and were restricted from that area at all times for the rest of the night.
Christmas trees were hung everywhere, the Apollo cabin was singing and making instruments play by themselves, and everything seemed to be perfect. A slow song began to play, and all of the couples started slow dancing─Nico and Thalia, whom had left the Hunters, Katie and Will, Pollux and Hayley, Chris and Clarisse, Grover and Juniper who were doing an… interesting form of slow dance, and of course, Percy and Annabeth.
The song continued ever so slowly. As if somebody was trying to make it going on forever. Percy could almost imagine seeing a beautiful, radiant goddess whose name was Aphrodite holding a knife to the throat of the Apollo campers to keep the music like this, the way she wanted it. Slowly couples were starting to kiss: Jason and Piper, Percy and Annabeth, Nico and Thalia, it goes on.
It was the perfect way to end the Christmas evening, and a perfect way to prepare for the upcoming day tomorrow.
A/N: There will be another chapter tomorrow when it's Christmas time, and there might be a third chapter up on New Years. I'm not exactly sure, but I'm sorry if this was short and boring for you. Please review… I guess. xD
