A/N: Just an idea that came to my head. This Chapter is just a filler chapter (I really wanted to write it!). The rest will be about a new girl who falls for Percy and he gets all confused about if he likes her or Annabeth. It's all humor, so enjoy! : D
Disclaimer: I wish I owned PJO but that's all Rick Riordan.
Percy's Pov
"But…" I pause for dramatic effect while everyone listening leans their heads in closer. "It was a STRAWBERRY!" It was late at night and we were all high on sugar. Everyone started laughing hysterically at my pathetic joke. It made no sense but we were all so tired nobody could help but laugh. I looked at my watch. Ouch, 2:30. I convinced all my friends to stay after the campfire ended. Chiron told us not to stay too long…whoops.
About ten minutes went by of uncontrollable laughter. After all my friends finished hiccupping and coughing, Nico was the only person still in a laughing fit. I glanced at Annabeth who was still laughing quietly to herself. She looked up at me and her stormy gray eyes were filled with delight which complemented her wide open smile. "Only YOU can get me to laugh this hard, Seaweed Brain." She told me between giggles. I couldn't help but think about how cute she was.
After a second I looked at Nico and Annabeth noticed him too. We told the rest that we should probably go to bed since Nico, the youngest of us all, was half choking and half laughing, rolling on the ground. Everyone looked at him as if surprised he was there at all. He could have turned into an elephant and nobody would have noticed. We were too high to realize that anything else was happening. I wrapped my arm around one of Nico's shoulders and Annabeth took the other. Nico had stopped laughing but now he was out cold.
"I got this, Annabeth" I said, trying to look macho. I tightened my grip around his shoulder and swung his legs up onto to my other arm. His feet accidently hit a tree to my right. "HEY! That tree was not there three seconds ago!" I whined. So much for looking manly. "No, I was over there." A voice said. Screaming, I whipped my head to the direction of the sound and saw Juniper vigorously rubbing her arm. "Oops, sorry." I said.
My face turned a very dark shade of red. That scream I let out was really high pitched. Thank God's no one could see me since it was dark out. "I saw you coming and I thought Grover was with you. But then I noticed you carrying someone unconscious and I got scared so I turned into a tree." Juniper stopped talking to look at me. "That was some scream, Percy." My face turned even redder but I risked a glance at Annabeth. She was doubled over, laughing. "Yeah, well don't stay out too long, you'll get in trouble. Bye!" Juniper said and skipped off in search of Grover.
I got a better grip on Nico and started to walk away from Annabeth. "Oh, come on! You gotta admit it was funny." Annabeth called over to me. I shook my head and kept walking. I heard her footsteps run over to me. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry" she said. "You should b-" My words got stopped by a finger on my lips. Nico fell from my grasp and landed hard on the ground. I stepped over him to get closer to Annabeth. "Yes?" I asked. Our heads leaned closer and closer together. We were so close, until a scream broke the moment. "Really? Just like in the movies!" I said right before the Harpies came into view.
So that's why everyone was telling us not to stay out too long. The harpies would eat us like they almost did the summer I retrieved the Golden Fleece! Wow, this is probably the only camp where someone could say that. "Over there!" I pointed to the cabin closest to us and we ran inside. That was probably one of my worst decisions, and that's saying something. We ran into the Ares cabin.
"WHAT are you doing here?" Clarisse asked stepping into view. The original view of junk being thrown across the room, rock music blaring from speakers and the sounds of sharpening weapons died down as everyone stopped to stare at us. I usually would have said some stupid thing to make her mad but Annabeth interrupted my thoughts. "NICO!" Annabeth cried. Ugh! I would forget him unconscious on the ground while harpies are coming around the corner for an attack. I ignored the confused looks on all the Ares kids and took Annabeth's hand as I ran outside. If this was Ares cabin, Poseidon was not far away.
"Follow me!" I ran back to pick up Nico and ran strait towards my cabin. Halfway there I heard the Harpies getting to be only yards away. I sprinted faster and saw that Annabeth was in front of me. I ran up the steps to my cabin and she slammed the door in back of me. There was some scraping on the door but only for a second until the Harpies headed off to face another victim. Annabeth and I stared at each other for a while. "It was a strawberry!" She practically screamed. We burst into another nonstop fit of laughter.
A/N: I know everyone says this but I really hope that if you read this you'll review because I want to know if I should continue it or not. I'll accept compliments or criticism but no flames please! (:
