"Oh come on, Percy!" pleaded Oliver. He'd been trying to convince the redhead to do this for months, but Percy was resolute. "It's not like you've never seen this done before. It's safe, I swear."
"I don't want to," Percy replied, his blue eyes hard and stubborn. "I don't see why /anyone/ would want to."
"Because it's fun!" insisted Oliver, smiling. "It's not scary."
"I'm not /scared/."
"I'll hold your hand, if you want..." he teased with a smirk.
"Okay, /fine/, I'll do it," sighed Percy, defeated. "Just don't expect much. I never did like flying."
