~* Okay, this is a little, very short oneshot I thought up of when I was reading The Titan's Curse and I hope you like it. It is basically my version of how Atlas got Luke to hold the sky for him and how Luke got Annabeth to do the same. So yeah, reviews are much appreciated.
Disclaimer- I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, if I did, Luke would never have died at the end
Cappuccino Time
By xXJedi Knight BlazeXx
"Hey, hey, hey, hey you! Over there! Listen to me, you idiot," a voice cut through Luke Castallen's private musings and he glanced up in time to see a golden eyed Titan watching him.
"What?" he asked as he finally made his way over to join the Titan.
"Could you hold this for me?" the Titan that Luke now recognized as Atlas asked gesturing to the sky that was above him. The celestial bronze cuffs around his ankles were preventing him from moving.
"Why would I want to do that?" Luke asked tipping his head to one side confused. "It looks like a really heavy burden."
"Oh as if you really know, I have been holding the sky for who knows how long and I haven't had a cappuccino in decades!" Atlas complained.
Luke rolled his eyes skyward, ha, pun, before he glanced back at Atlas. "Do you want me to go get you a cappuccino?" he asked.
"No way, you don't know how I like it. Just take the sky and I'll be right back," Atlas replied.
Luke sighed before shrugging. "Fine," he said. As he and Atlas switched places, the celestial bronze cuffs going around Luke's ankles, Atlas stretched.
"Ah finally, my back aches, well, I'll be back later," Atlas said with a nod at Luke before he made his way off to the nearest Starbucks.
Later that day, Luke, bored out of his mind, examined the area below him, the Garden of Hesperides. He spotted his old friend, Annabeth Chase, making her way toward his location and he got an idea.
"Hey, hey, hey, Annabeth, hello? Over here!" he called until Annabeth finally glanced up before she narrowed her gray eyes.
"What are you doing here, Luke?" she asked.
"I got bored and decided to hold the sky, what do you think I'm doing here?" Luke retorted his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"I can see that you are holding up the sky, where's Atlas?"
"Went off to Starbucks but he made me thirsty for a cappuccino, can you hold the sky for me while I run to Starbucks?" Luke asked curiously.
Annabeth narrowed her eyes. "You're kidding me, no way!" she snapped.
"Please?" Luke asked.
"No!"
"Please?"
"No!"
"Please?"
"No!"
"Please?"
"No!"
"Please?"
"No!"
"Please?"
"Just make it quick."
Luke smiled before he and Annabeth switched places and he stretched. "Ow, Atlas was right, that thing does hurt your back," he murmured. "Well, laters," he added to Annabeth before making his way over to the nearest Starbucks.
When he and Atlas both came back, Annabeth was glowering angrily at them. "Why didn't you get me one?" she complained as Luke and Atlas both took long drinks of their cappuccinos.
"You wanted one?" Luke asked.
"Well duh, I didn't take this burden just to watch you drink a cappuccino," Annabeth snapped.
"Well, I'll be back then," Luke said finishing his coffee and making his way back to a random Starbucks with Atlas behind him and Annabeth scowling at his back.
~* You see? I told you it was going to be a short oneshot, I hope you liked it and please review. I would greatly appreciate any feedback and no flames, even if you hate it. Flames will be used to torch Kronos and Palpypie as well as to roast marshmallows. So yeah, I hope you enjoyed this oneshot.
