Hi, this is mpawn in my debut story. Please no flames as I am just starting out, but help is graciously accepted.
Setting: Camp Jupiter, during end of SON,
Summary: Percy's thoughts about returning to New York, and Camp Half-Blood
"Just a urchin livin' under the street, I'm a hard case that's tough to beat, I'm your charity case so buy me something so buy me something to eat, I'll pay you at another time, take it to the end of the line"
He couldn't wait to get back. In his head he was screaming, "Take me home to the city, where the camp is green, and my girl is pretty, (sorry axl, but it's true.)" There was one teensy little problem. Gaea. If he and the rest of the seven didn't defeat them, he would never go back. "Stupid Gaea" he said aloud. Octavian noticed this and went off on a tangent about how Percy had just snapped from the pressure of being prætor (A/N, sorry I'm a Latin student) "See what I meant, he can't handle it. Obviously you've made a mistake in who you have decided to make prætor. Let's make a change, Romans!"
"Just forget it Octavian, you're not being elected prætor." Reyna said.
"Fine, but, why should we trust these Greeks?" Octavian was saying. "The camp is safe; I'll be the first one to congratulate our heroes for bringing back the legion's eagle and so much Imperial Gold!" From there, he went on to talk about why not to tempt fate until the Argo II, descending over New Rome shut him up. All Percy was thinking from this point was, "Take me home."
Time Skip: After the giants are defeated.
"Rags to riches or so they say, ya gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame. It's all a gamble when it's just a game; ya treat it like a capital crime. Everybody's doin' the time"
As Percy arrived back at camp, all the campers dropped everything, unfortunately including several magical weapons, and swarmed him. As this occurred, his mind flashed back to when he was new. Nobody would have really cared before he got claimed, whether or not he was there. He could see how hard his disappearance had been on everyone. "It's good to be back." He exclaimed. "Now I'm Home."
A/N: Please review, as this is my first story. It's not entirely a songfic, but it is kinda based of Guns 'n' Roses "Paradise City"
PEACE OUT (for now)
