Still don't own Percy Jackson. :(
The next day, as promised, I woke up to a drooling face. Luckily, he's gotten better at not soaking the bed with drool.
"Hey, Percy. Wake up! If you won't wake up, than I won't make you blue cookies. I have perfected the recipe, and I know how to quadruple it." I whisper, wondering why I bribe my Seaweed Brain into getting up.
"Wah?! NO BLUE COOKIES?! Nooooo!" Percy screams as he bolts out of bed and runs to the closet, throws on a green shirt, blue hoodie, camp necklace, and a pair of blue shorts and raced to the kitchen. I walk to the closet, in peace, and change. As soon as I have my gray, aztec shirt and my blue shorts on, Percy comes barging into the closet looking mad that he got up for nothing.
"WHY?!" I yelled, then sighed. "Wise Girl, why? I want to sleep!"
"Well, you promised to wake up to my face and my face only, so, you have to wake up before I get out of bed." I sassily say.
"Ohhhhhhh, Annnniiiiieeee... HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY SASS! I AM PERSSASY, THE SASSIEST KING OF SASS!" He yells teasingly.
I quickly slip on my shoes and grab my new bracelet and camp necklace, then run out side. Percy is in hot sassy pursuit, and I have to escape. I grab two blue pancakes to make him mad, say bye to Sally, then run out the door. I learned how to store my cap, phone, and earphones in the bracelet. I slip on my earphones while I run, and I dial Piper.
"PIPES!" I yell into the microphone.
"Ugh, what Chase?" She says with a sigh.
"Umm, Plan 3 of the Sassmasters is in need of a go. I sassed Percy, and now he is chasing me through Manhattan." I tell her.
"Okay, be there in 10. Meet me in Victoria Secrets, and I'll have Jason plan with the others. I will tell you the plan there. Meet me in the back, by the dressing rooms." She told me, now completely serious.
What's sad, is that I have sassed him before, and then we ran all over camp. After that, the rest of the 11 (minus Percy, duh) came up with 5 plans. Plan 3 is to go to the mall, go somewhere completely embarrassing for a dude, and then break apart inside the mall using the rest of the 11's help. After 10 minutes, I make it to the mall. Percy is still behind me, and I decide to take the stairs, since everyone else uses the escalator or the elevator. I run into Victoria Secrets, and look behind me. Percy is slowing down as realization dawn on his face. He speedwalks in, with checks redder than Damasen, and looks for me. Luckily, I have slipped into the back of the store, where I see Piper.
"Pipes!" I yell to get her attention.
"Annie!" She yells in return. I've gotten looser about that name, but only my close female friends can call me that.
"So, how far behind is he?"
"Umm. He made it in, and he is lost in the hoodie section in Pink."
"Great, so. Jason is standing outside of the store. Leo, Frank, Hazel, and Calypso are down at the Fro-Yo place. Nico and Will are at another store that Percy loves, but I can't remember which one. One of the athletic wear places. Reyna is staying outside as a jogger, but her dogs are stationed at some exits. Nico has Julius-Albert stationed at the parking lot exit. And that's that. So, do you wanna distract Percy, or have Jason do that, and then gather the rest of the 11 and get him?" Piper asks.
"Yesterday was my birthday, and Percy gave me this visa, funded by the gods of course, so I could buy some stuff. Oh, he's coming this way. Let's hide, then go. Have Jason get him." I decide.
"Okay. Let's go shooping!" She says happily, then walks out. "Wait. Was that the glean of metal I see on your finger? OMIGODS. IT IS!" Piper squealed. Ugh. She went total Aphrodite.
"We aren't engaged, yet. This is a promise ring." I tell her, trying to get her to calm down.
"OMGS. I CAN'T EVEASDFGHJKL! I love the gray under the blue dust! Wait, what does that say?" Piper asks as we enter Forever 21.
"It says 'μαζί? μαζί.', or: 'Together? Together.' Piper. Now, please. Calm down. Your mother destroyed my closet after Percy gave me this ring. I need new clothes." I say as I try to calm her down.
I walk to the shirt section, and I see a beautiful, blue, beach shirt. There's also a cute tank top with blue owls on it. Yes, I know. I'm your stereotypical, bias, daughter of Athena and girlfriend to the son of Poseidon. Gotta fill up my closet with blue and gray and waves and owls. I end up buying almost everything with an owl or waves on it, and it looks good. We leave the store, check up on Jason/Percy's location, and continue shooping, as Piper calls it. We go to a jewelry store, and Piper is instantly in love with a necklace. It has a gold chain, an electric blue feather pendant, and two, rosy pink tassels. I think it suits her. I, go for something a bit different. I already have a tiara, a ring, a necklace, and a bracelet. I find some body gems, which I can put on with the tiara Percy gave me. They are an iridescent gray material, in the shape of a leaf. They go on the temples, and they will look so good with the tiara. [example below]
I decide I don't need anything else, so we go to the food court. Percy never goes to the food court unless I drag him, because he doesn't like the lack of blue food. That's one of the reasons he takes me on custom dates. Piper goes to Panda Express, and I go to the Pho place. I get the chicken pho, with some boba tea. I love this, but not as much as Sally's blue meatloaf. Oh gods, I'm turning into Percy now. Piper finds me, and we sit there eating and talking. I check the location of Percy (yes, I know how to track his phone. I'm weird.), and he's in Brookstones. Jason must be having fun with the drones.
When we finish eating, we go get the boys, but not before one last stop. I grab some running gear from a store, since Aphrodite raided my closet and I'm wearing my last sensible outfit, and change into that. I look like a jogger, even though I don't need special jogging clothes. I left the shopping bags with Piper. I run to Brookstones, and I see a tuft of black hair, right next to some blond hair.
"Oh, Seaweed Brain! I'm going back to the beach!" I sing/yell. That got his attention.
"Wise Girl! Get back here!" He yells as he runs after me. Judging from Jason's look, he got the message of not chasing Percy around any more.
We make it outside, and I turn to go to the beach. I whistle, and a gray eagle flies to the beach.
After the war, Reyna made it so that the 7, Nico, Will, Calypso, and Reyna herself could summon an eagle if needed. Each eagle would be identifiable based on the person. Percy's is gold with blue-tipped feathers, mine is gray with gold-tipped feathers, Hazel's is full gold, Frank's is gold with red swirls, Leo's is red with gold-tipped feathers, Calypso's is blinding white, Piper's is brown, with a braided feather on its head, Jason's is a very light sky blue with gold-tipped feathers, Will's was glowing yellow, Nico's was as black as a shadow, and Reyna's was silver and gold to match her dogs. Percy had a blue halter on his, I had a gray, Hazel had a gold halter, and so on an so forth. Percy's could swim really well, mine was the most agile, Hazel's could enhance Hazel's Mist powers, Frank's could support the weight of any animal (incase Frank is stuck as an elephant), Leo's is fireproof (surprise, surprise), Calypso's is able to use minor nature magic, Piper's could distract any monster through a form of charm-squak, Jason's could fly at unnatural speeds, Will's could heal any animal (sadly, not people/demigods), Nico's could shadow travel a lot of people, and Reyna's can give strength to the other eagles . We also got to name them. Percy has Nemo, I have Matia, Hazel has Gemma, Frank has Hannibal, Leo has Flame, Calypso has Kipos, Piper has Feitro, Jason has Bolt, Will has Kitrina, Nico has Mavros, and Reyna has Viribus.
I reach Matia, climb on, and wait for Percy. As expected, he calls for Blackjack, who is a tiny bit slower than an eagle. He can fly without Blackjack, but he doesn't like flying without him. I wait for him, and then I take off. Since I have the most agile bird, I start doing some kind of obstacle course through Manhattan, while Percy is screaming at me. Blackjack is pretty good, but he can't turn like Matia can. We race around the Empire State Building, and I wave to the sky. I thought I saw a cloud in the shape of a hand waving back. I head to Sally's building, and I jump off Matia. I roll onto the ground as Matia flies back to wherever they stay. I run to the fire escape, and I see Percy land on the ground. He starts to run, and I drop from the railing to Sally's floor. I rap on the window, and Sally opens the window.
"Quick! Shut the window!" I yell at her through my heavy breathing.
She shuts the window, and then asks me as Percy reaches the window, "Why is Percy chasing you? Wait, did you sass him?"
"Maybe..." I reply. I let Percy in, and hand him a blue cookie.
"Ugh, finally Annabeth! But still... HOW DARE YOU SASS ME!" Percy yells. He tackles me, and drags me to my official bedroom, and then leaves. I walk out, and tell him that no one can out-sass the sassmaster. He hugs me as an apology, and then we eat dinner.
Explaining the eagle names:
Nemo: Percy's immaturity
Matia: Greek for 'eyes', since the eyes are the defining feature of an Athena child
Gemma: a form of Jemma, but with gems
Hannibal: the elephant that Frank took care of
Flame: obvious reasons
Kipos: Greek for 'garden'
Feitros: Greek for 'feather'
Bolt: obvious reasons
Kitrina: Greek for 'yellow'
Mavros: Greek for 'black'
Viribus: Latin for 'strength'
