Okay, it was three am when I wrote this story that I really shouldn't have written. I love summer! This is sort of in between Last Olympian and Lost Hero. Percy, Annabeth, Amy and Ian are sixteen and Dan, Natalie, Nico and the OC Holly are thirteen. Enjoy! WARNING: I've never written PJO before and seldom read it. Might suck.
ANOTHER WARNING: This will be slowly updated. I didn't mean to write it yet but I knew exactly what the first three or four chapters and the ending would be so I just had to write it down before I forgot it.
Third Person POV
Percy looked at Annabeth, "Holly." they said simultaneously, shaking the dragon drool off their clothes.
Holly Lewis was the new girl at camp. She had medium brown hair – which she somehow always had highlighted with neon colors – light greenish eyes with flecks of grey and the typical Hermes features.
She had arrived a week ago, two days before she turned thirteen. She hadn't been claimed then but she had Hermes written all over her. She took almost no time at all to adjust to the whole "Greek gods are real" thing and the first thing she did was pull a prank on one of the Satyrs by giving him a rubber apple. The Hermes kids accepted her happily and the fake apple became her trademark prank.
It didn't take Holly long to figure out who the top couple was and she instantly pegged them to spy on.
After the pair showered off and changed out of their saliva-covered clothes they went to find Grover.
Grover was sitting by the lake with an apple in his hand, looking at it suspiciously.
"Percy, do you think this is a real apple?" he asked. "Not one of Holly's fake ones?"
"Well where'd you get it?"
"Off a tree in the woods."
Percy and Annabeth just stared at him.
"What?" Grover asked.
"Do you really think that trees grow fake apples?" Annabeth asked him.
"No but... You're right, I'm being paranoid." he bit the apple, unsuccessfully.
"It's fake." he declared, throwing it on the ground. The "apple" bounced right back.
"You've got to admit, she's good." Percy said. "A rubber apple on a real tree… Anyway, didn't you have something important to tell us?"
"Oh yeah! You guys will not believe this!"
Line break
"Dan!" Amy yelled "Are you ready yet?"
"Almost!" he called down "I can't find my whatchamacallit!"
"Your what?"
"That one thing! That calls and texts and it's got the buttons that slide out!"
"Your cell phone?" Amy asked.
"That's it!" Dan exclaimed "Have you seen it?"
"Would it be right here sticking out of your backpack?"
Dan came running down the stairs and took the phone out of his bag. "Found it!"
Amy rolled her eyes. They were about to go on their first mission as fully trained spies and Dan was acting like a ten year old.
"Dan, you need to be serious about this! This is the first mission we're going on without Nellie or Fiske! And Isabel's out of jail too! This could be dangerous!"
Dan nodded excitedly. "I know! How cool is this! Living back on the edge, just like good old times!"
Amy shook her head. Dan was forever going to treat Cahill business like a game. "Just get in the car."
The flight to Long Island, New York wasn't too eventful. Amy internally panicking about the mission and Dan playing Ninjump on his iTouch.
Amy was insanely nervous. She and Dan had never been on a mission alone. Okay, technically not alone. They were going to meet some agents from another branch at the airport – part of some "branch unification" thing – but Fiske wouldn't tell them who.
The mission was to scope out the area because there was word that the Vespers were building a new stronghold there. Not such a big deal but with Isabel Kabra on the loose, anything could go wrong.
When the Cahills plane landed, they went over to the coffee shop in the airport where they'd agreed to meet their co-agents.
"I guess they aren't here yet."Amy noted. "Fiske said we'd recognize them."
"Umm... I think they are here." Dan said pointing to two very familiar looking people entering the shop.
Line break
Ian Kabra sighed and looked at his watch. "For Luke's sake, Natalie, what takes you so long to get ready? You have your bag packed, all you have to do is shower and put clothes on!" he yelled impatiently, kicking the bathroom door.
"Maybe for you! I, on the other hand need more time to get ready!" she replied "And you're just anxious because you want to see Amy."
Ian glared at her through the door. "Why would I want that?" he demanded.
Natalie finally opened the door. "Because you obviously have a crush on her." Natalie stated, walking past her brother.
"I do not." Ian muttered, following her "I really wish you would stop insisting that I do."
"Sorry, brother, I'm working on telling the truth more often." she smiled innocently, earning her another glare.
~~~~~~~Skipping the drive and the security and stuff~~~~~~~
They got on the plane and Natalie immediately turned on her iPod, blocking out everything around her.
I don't like Amy. Ian told himself. Natalie's just being annoying.
Two years later and he's still lying to himself. said the annoying part of His brain that, even though it was often right, Ian always tried to ignore.
(A/N Okay, this part's kind of confusing. Ian's arguing with his conscience so it's all in his head. His conscience will be bold italic and his stubborn argument will be italic)
Who are you talking to?
You.
In third person?Yep. You're still wrong. It's nothing. No need to be sarcastic. And that's nothing. I simply... Think about her a lot. She was a big part of the clue hunt which I think of a lot 'It's nothing. And you are me so if I listen to me, I say that I don't like her. And I think the saying is Whoa, whoa, whoa! What feelings? What point? You're bugging me.
"Ian? Ian. IAN! Natalie said, snapping her fingers in his face.
"You're bugging me!" then he noticed Natalie "I mean... What do you want?"
"Sorry? You were like zoned out so I decided to snap you out of it." Natalie told him.
"Well, thank you. That stupid voice was really getting on my nerves." Ian told her.
"Voice? Ian, are you feeling okay? Voices inside your head... Maybe we should see a doctor..." Natalie asked, concerned about her brother's mental health.
"No, Natalie, not like that. It's that little voice that tells you when you're doing something wrong."
"Your conscience?"
"Yeah, that."
"What are you doing wrong?"
"Nothing. I think my conscience is wrong more often than right." Ian told her.
Natalie looked at her brother suspiciously. "What did it tell you exactly?"
"Nothing." Ian answered quickly.
I bet he was debating about Amy again. Why can't he just admit that he likes her? Natalie thought.
"Whatever, but you might want to listen to it this time. I have a feeling it's right." Natalie said, going back to her music.
Told you! chanted Ian's conscience.
Shut up.
After the flight, the Kabras headed to the coffee shop where they were meeting the Cahills.
"Don't, go all lovey-dovey on me okay?" Natalie told Ian.
"I. Don't. Like her." Ian denied.
When they walked into the shop Ian looked for Amy. And Daniel. Ian reminded himself.
There they were, standing in the corner of the shop looking at the Kabra siblings in shock.
Ian's heart stopped. 'Amy...' was the only word in his mind. She was even more beautiful than he remembered. Stop that! Ian scolded himself. Stop thinking like that! You sound like you're madly in love with her.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Okay, that was a little confusing and Ian was pretty OOC but it'll make more sense and be more IC for the other chapters.
Interview:
Me: I've never had so many guests before!
Ian: You've never done a crossover before. That's why.
Me: Stop trying to be helpful. It's OOC.
Ian: This from the girl who has me arguing with something inside my head that I don't have over something that also doesn't exist.
Amy: All humans have a conscience! And I do exist, thank you very much!
Dan: But he's not a human. He's a love alien!
Natalie: Hey! No one teases my brother except for me!
Me: Anyway, that's Amy's nickname.
Percy: What is this? Why are we here?
Annabeth: I think she's interviewing us.
Me: Oh right! You guys are new! You're supposed to tell me what you thought of the chapter and argue with me about your love life. Well… only Ian actually does that.
Ian: I'm special.
Amy: Yeah that's the word…
Me: Anyway, your thoughts?
Natalie: I think Holly would be annoying. Almost like Daniel.
Dan: I think she's awesome! Hermes for the win!
Me: Sorry, that's not you cabin.
Dan: Darn…
Amy: Dan needs to learn what a cell phone is.
Ian: I don't have a conscience or a crush.
Percy: Holly would be a nightmare.
Annabeth: I feel for the Satyrs.
Me: Yeah… fake apples… that sucks.
Dan: I think you mean rocks!
Director dude: *bites apple* this one's real! CUT!
