Zoe Nightshade's Dam Problem

by The Ficsmith

Zoe Nightshade wants to know why everyone found it funny when she said dam snack bar. Can Percy help her? Will there be minor cussing? Yes, which is why it's rated T just in case. Will I ever stop asking so many questions in my summaries? No. Zoe/Percy

Sun: Warning, there is cussing in this story.
Zoe: Art thou stupid, it indicated that in the title and summary.
Sun: I just didn't want anyone to get mad at me for not warning them.
Zoe: And also thou do not own us.
Sun: Really? (Sarcasm)
Zoe: Thou really art stupid, Rick Riordan owns us.
Sun: Next story I write, Percy needs to teach you about sarcasm.
Percy: Would you two shut up! I want to get to the story!

Ever since they were at the Hoover Dam Zoe's thoughts were a mixture of, "NO! I'm going to die!" and "Why did they find when I said the dam snack bar funny?"
Finally, after everyone except she and Percy had fallen asleep she asked him, "Percy, why did thou find it humorous when I said the dam snack bar?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" he asked, "It's kind of a long story."
"Are thou going to tell me or not?" she asked.
"Fine," he said, "damn is a cuss word."

"What do thou mean by that?" she inquired.
"It means that it's a word you're not supposed to say," he said, "People use it when they are angry, or disappointed, and if someone says damn well it means positively."

"How do thou know so much about this word?" she asked him.
"Whenever I cuss, Annabeth spews every possible meaning of the word. Let's just say, I rarely cuss when I'm with her anymore," he replied.
"So thou will sometimes have a moment of weakness when thee cannot stop thyself from using those words?" she asked.

"Pretty much," he told her.

"I hope thou enjoy my moment of weakness," she told him, and before he could ask her what she meant, she kissed him. It lasted about 30 seconds before Zoe felt it was time to end it.
Shocked, Percy asked her, "What in the hell was that Zoe?"

She replied, "Thou know damn well what that was."

He laughed a bit, it was funny to hear her cuss in her old English, then asked, "Was it a moment of weakness."

"Yes it was," she told him, "It won't happen again."
Then she turned to leave him alone, but at the last second, turned and looked at him again.

"I thought thee should know, Percy," she told him "Thee kiss much better than Hercules."
Then she turned and left, leaving Percy with his thoughts.

Author's Note: If either character is out of character, I am sorry. Is there a name or Zoe/Percy? If you are still reading this author's note, you know damn well how awesome you are!
