DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS. BUT YOU KNEW THAT, RIGHT?
A/N: Let's just pretend that everyone is just there, and it's in an alternate universe where no one died, and Percy and Annabeth haven't gotten together (yet!)
Annabeth Chase's Point of View
It was just another day at camp. So far. I was with Percy down at the Pier, and he was showing off by swimming like a pro, and I was just swimming circles around him. Not metaphorically, but literally. We were interrupted by Silena who came running to the edge of the Pier.
"Percy!" She called to us. "Annabeth! We're playing a game at the Amphitheater while Chiron and Dyniousis are gone!"
I know, this should have been the red flag going up, but I was ready to get out of the water.
"C'mon!" Percy grabbed my hand and held on as he propelled us towards the beach. We made it their in record time. I felt myself suddenly not wet anymore, and I was well aware of who was to blame for that. Not that I minded.
"Thanks," I told Percy.
"Let's go and see what they had in mind for a game," Percy said.
Things were complicated between me and Percy lately. We were just friends, but a lot of his actions were making me think differently. Like him holding my hand, or putting his arm around my shoulder. But he still hadn't told me if he felt the same way I did about him.
The Amphitheater was not entirely full. Actually, there were only about twenty of the campers around my and Percy's age. I realized what was probably going to happen before I could escape.
"You are finally here!" Silena shouted. She was holding hands with Beckendorf. At times, I was jealous of them. They were an open couple, and I figured that Percy and I would never reach that place in our relationship. "Now we can begin our game of truth or dare!"
I was right.
"Here are the rules: you must do the dare, and you must answer TRUTHFULLY, or else you will have to go into the forest. Alone. At night. So don't back down!" Silena scared me sometimes. But just sometimes. "Annabeth, how about you go first?"
I didn't exactly want to, but I didn't want to face the penalty. "Um, Nico. Truth or Dare."
"Dare."
"I dare you too …" I didn't know what would be crossing the boundaries. And I didn't want it to be too lame. Percy leaned over and whispered something in my ear. Perfect. "I dare you to go in the Pegasui stable and try to braid their hair like My Little Pony."
Nico huffed, and went there with a couple other people to make sure that he was going to follow through. I waited patiently for him to come back. He came back five minutes later with a black eye. Next to me, Percy burst out laughing.
"You're dead to me." I took this threat seriously, considering Nico was son of Hades.
"Nico, your turn!" Silena said cheerily.
"Um, Travis."
"Dare, of course!" Everyone knew that he would choose dare.
"I dare you to go and egg the Ares cabin." This was not going to end well.
"Gimme the eggs!" Travis called, and someone tossed him an egg carton.
This time me and Percy followed him. He first threw them at the windows, then the door. Soon he had all of the Ares kids after him with their weapons. I was falling over laughing with Percy.
Travis finally ditched the Ares kids and arrived back at the circle to take his turn.
"Silena."
"Dare!" she said enthusiastically.
"I dare you to make out with Beckendorf."
She didn't have a second thought about it. She pulled his face close and they started making out in front of the crowd.
"Enough, already!" someone called from the crowd. The two of them finally pulled apart.
"Annabeth."
Uh oh. She could get me either way. I weighed my options, and finally decided on, "Dare."
"I dare you to sit on Percy's lap for the rest of the game."
A/N: Just some silly story I did while bored. Will probably update.
