Chapter 2

I was so intent on uploading the chapter that I forgot it wasn't my final draft, and I hadn't added all the trimmings. Sorry to the reviewers I intended to respond to here!

Description: Percy's become a famous Youtuber out of necessity, and now he goes through life posting daily videos whether it be vlogs, sketches, or gaming commentaries. Read about his adventures navigating through the vast world of Youtube fame.

Disclaimer: I still don't own the rights to PJO or HoO, but I do own the OCs and story.

One last thing: I have the next few chapters outlined and planned out, but if upload speed starts slowing down after that, just know it's because I'm not as well prepared. Feel free to help me out by leaving suggestions and critiques; they are always MUCH appreicated!

Percy's P.O.V.

"Aw, why can't I use Riptide?" Percy pouted with his shoulders slumped.

"You know very well why, Percy!" Annabeth lectured, flipping a piece of hair out of her face, "Even if no one watching is able to see through the mist, which is highly unlikely in itself, they'll still probably see something like a baseball bat or a gun!"

Percy scowled and crossed his arms over his chest. He knew she was right, but it didn't mean he had to be happy about it. He capped Riptide and shoved it in his pocket.

Sighing, he reached into the bin of practice swords Annabeth had "borrowed" from camp. She figured no one would miss them for a few days, and she had agreed to be in Percy's video today, after all. All he had said was that they would be demonstrating their swordfighting skills and possibly sparring a bit, so she had no idea what to expect.

Of course she was still mad at him for forcing her to be in this video. Granted, he hadn't really forced her, but when he flashed his goofy grin, her brain went a little fuzzy, and he knew it. That boy was a lot smarter than she gave him credit for, not that she would ever admit it to him.

He finished adjusting the camera to face their makeshift arena, though in reality it was a soft patch of grass he'd outlined with some white chalk. Overall, it was about ten feet across in a circular shape, perfect for the video.

"Should we warm up before we start?" Percy looked questioningly at Annabeth.

"Sure, we are a little out of practice I suppose, so it couldn't hurt." she said, twirling her practice sword around in her hand. He nodded and tossed his sword between his hands while smirking.

"You feeling scared, Wise Girl?" He asked cockily.

"You wish, Seaweed Brain." She crouched into her preferred stance and returned the smirk.

They began rounding the arena, their unblinking eyes never leaving each other. Annabeth knew that as impatient as he was, he would probably lose his cool and make the first move at some point. That was when she would strike.

Percy wasn't stupid. He knew that she was most likely waiting for him to make the first move. In reality, he was trained enough to wait out just about any opponent, but he knew that Annabeth would wait night and day for him to go. And so, he took a light swing at her right side, which she blocked of course and returned with a swing of her own, right at his head.

He ducked out of the way, and this went back and forth until they were both breaking out sweating and swinging too fast for any normal human to react. Eventually, Percy attempted a feint at her legs, and when she moved to block it, he pressed his blade against the hilt of Annabeth's sword. With a flick of his wrist, he sent it clattering to the ground and had the tip of his sword against her throat.

"Looks like I win this time, Wise Girl." he bragged, shooting her a grin.

Annabeth simply smirked and rolled away from his blade. Her elbow slammed against the small of his back and he fell to his knees. She plucked the sword out of his hand and pressed the tip against the back of his neck.

"You let your guard down too early," She grasped his hand and pulled him up. "Predictable as always."

"Come on, that's cheating. You know that spot's still super sensitive." Percy mumbled, blushing beet-red.

"Someone's a sore loser." Annabeth smirked at him, "Besides, you get a rematch, only now all of your subscribers will watch you get your butt kicked."

"We'll see about that." He flicked the switch and stood in front of the camera.

Elicia's P.O.V.

Elicia shut the door to her dorm room as quietly as she could. She'd gotten back from her college study group later than she'd intended, and she knew hell awaited anyone who awoke the mythical beast known as her roommate.

Not even a full year ago, Elicia had been sent off to her post high school educational hell, but she'd slowly managed to adjust to dorm life. It wasn't what she expected, and it was certainly nothing like the movies. Sure, there were plenty of parties, but they were usually held off-campus and if they weren't, the sound level was kept to a low roar. That was, unless they wanted to face the R.A.'s (A/N: Resident assistant/advisor, they enforce residence policies) wrath.

Fortunately, she'd managed to avoid any real trouble with the R.A. for her dorms, though she'd heard some horror stories from her roommate.

Elicia sidled over to her bed, careful to avoid anything she could trip over. Once she'd climbed between the sheets, she fished around for her laptop. She'd left it between the wall and her bed to charge, but who knows if her roommate might've needed it for something.

She hoped that wasn't the case; after all of that studying, Elicia's plan was to relax and watch some videos before hitting the hay. Finally, she found the laptop and settled it neatly in her lap. Opening Youtube, she saw that her subscription box showed a new video from Percy Jackson.

Elicia had always admired Percy. The way he talked about how he'd managed to earn his degree through sheer perserverance, even with his dyslexia and general lack of book smarts made her happy for him. It was apparent that he was a hard worker when he wanted to be, even if he did seem lazy at first glance.

The title of the video read: "Sparring With My Girlfriend". Elicia's jaw dropped. She'd remembered hearing Percy say that he enjoyed swordfighting, but never would've guessed that his girlfriend did as well. That might've been how they'd met, she supposed.

Her headphones slipped over her ears, and she clicked on the video. After an eternity- gosh darn dorm room wifi -Percy's face popped up, chipper as always. Next to him was a drop-dead gorgeous blonde with her arms folded across her chest.

The first thing Elicia noticed about her were her penetrating grey eyes. If the girl had blue eyes, she would've pegged her as your stereotypical valley-girl blonde, but something about the girl's eyes said she was a lot more than that.

The blonde also looked surprisingly muscular, though not in a particularly masculine way; she had something more along the lines of a lean, gymnast's physique. Probably got that figure from swordfighting, Elicia figured.

"Hey everyone, and welcome to the long awaited... drumroll please?" Percy looked to the girl expectantly, but she just rolled her eyes at him. Elicia almost laughed out loud, but she remembered her roommate was sleeping not ten feet from her. Phew, she'd just barely managed to avoid awakening a demon.

Percy stuck his tongue out at the girl and gave himself a very sloppy drumroll. "Sparring with my girlfriend!" He gestured to the blonde, "This is my poor sport of a girlfriend... Annabeth!"

The girl, Annabeth, smacked him across the back of the head. He just gave her a goofy grin. Goodness, they were making it hard not to laugh and wake her roommate.

"Alright, I guess I should explain what we're going to be doing here." Percy cleared his throat, "I've set up this little 'arena' here," he began, making air quotes, "and we're going to take a couple of these practice swords and do a bit of sparring for you guys."

"I think they got that from the title, Seaweed Brain." Elicia couldn't help but chuckle a little. She paled and stared white-eyed at her roommate's bed for any signs of stirring, but it seemed she'd lucked out.

She'd missed a few seconds of the video, but from what she could see, Percy and Annabeth had grabbed practice swords and were crouching into offensive stances.

"Gah... it's too gosh dang hot out here!" Percy dropped the blade in his hands and slipped off his shirt.

Even if he did have a girlfriend, Elicia didn't care at that moment because hot damn was that boy ripped. He'd never appeared particularly skinny in any of his videos, but he'd never shown any skin like this either. His arms rippled with lean muscle and his abdomen tightened in his crouched stance.

She saw a faint red appear on Annabeth's cheeks and then disappear just as quickly. Elicia thought that maybe Percy hadn't noticed, but she was wrong.

"Like what you see, Wise Girl?" He said cockily, winking at her.

"In your dreams." Elicia's eyes remained unwavering on the scene; they began circling each other slowly, watching the other's every move.

A faint aura appeared around the two. Elicia hadn't noticed it before, but now that they were serious, it was almost like they just exuded power. Her face paled just watching the showdown.

Without a hint of movement beforehand, Percy took the first swing, aiming for Annabeth's head. She blocked it and returned with a swing of her own, but he managed to duck under it.

He spun around and aimed for her legs this time, and she just calmly sidestepped and swung right back at him.

The video continued like this for what seemed like forever, until finally, Annabeth's sword managed to connect with Percy's side. She took the opportunity to roll around to his back and press her foot into his back, forcing him facedown into the grass.

A smirk crossed her face. "Guess it's my win this time." Hidden from her view but visible to the camera, Percy just returned the smirk.

He reached his leg around her and tapped the back of her knee with his foot. It wasn't much, but it was enough to make her lose balance, and she toppled over onto her back. Percy rolled over and pounced on her, pressing her own sword against her throat.

"Now who lets their guard down too early?" Even though Elicia was still awestruck at the display, she couldn't help but smile at the couple.

"Still you, as always." She flipped him over and was now on top of him with her sword once again pressed to his throat.

Percy gave Annabeth a big pout. She helped him to his feet and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Maybe one day, keep dreaming." He just stuck his tongue out at her.

Elicia's jaw couldn't help dropping. That had to be one of the most amazing things she'd ever seen! Where did you even go to learn something like that? More questions arose in the back of her mind, but she yawned silently and decided it was probably about time to head to bed. She had class tomorrow, after all.

"Alright, thanks for watching the long awaited sparring match between me and my girlfriend." He pouted again, "See you all next time... Bye."

Once again, sorry for not adding the trimmings in my initial upload. I'll be sure to avoid making that mistake again! Hope you enjoyed reading the second chapter. Look forward to the next chapter either later today or tomorrow!
