Hi guys! I was so happy to see already five comments! I mean, usually people just ignore stories that doesn't include Percabeth and it totally warmed my heart to see I did have reader after all.

So I've seen in the comments a lot of things.

First, Percy's not dead nor immortal. What would be the fun in that?

Second: No, he's not shipped with Piper. For Piper I kind of planned a sort of a love triangle with Nico and Jason with is completely unlike me, usually I don't do love trangles but I though it would be suitable this time. But I'm new with it so advise me a little if you see a problem.

Enjoy :)

I Give My Couch's Legs A Shave

Piper

I woke with a start.

I was at the school bus again.

I was sweating and breathing heavily, my eyes wild. I felt something wet on my cheek, I touched the place and found myself soaked by tears. The image of Percy's body crumbling replayed in my mind again and again like a broken tape that stuck on a specific song that you hate.

I looked aside and saw Leo looking at me worriedly.

"What happened, Beauty Queen?" He asked softly. "You had a bad dream?"

Normally I would have given him an evil eye I for using that annoying nickname he gave me - Beauty Queen - but now I didn't care. I nodded numbly to him, staring right ahead at the back of the seat in front of me.

For a moment, I wondered if what I saw in my dream wasn't more but a really bad nightmare. But then, I saw something glistening in my hair.

The sword that Nico gave me in the dream in its hairpin form. The beautiful silver shape of a the hairpin glowing slightly in the sun that came from the window, like diamonds and the black rock in its full glory standing out from the silver creating a perfect combination.

No, it was most definitely not a dream.

Now, all that's left for me is wait for Nico to come to get me. If he'll ever come.

So... I guess I'm a demigod then... So who's my godly parent? I mean, there are too many gods to count, people mostly count only the Twelve Olympians but there are hundreds.

I - Whoa! Suddenly I felt my head go fuzzy. I so a pair of Electric-Blue eyes, a pretty face of a blond handsome boy with a cute scar on his upper lip.

Some blurry part of my mind told me that this was Jason, my boyfriend. But another part of my mind, that remembered a similar pair of electric-blue eyes, shining delightfully as they kill a person with a mighty bolt.

Something was massing with my head, but after seeing Zeus I couldn't be fooled. Those electric-blue eyes are not friendly, they're dangerous. I was convinced of it.

The other part insisted I knew Jason completely. That we know each other for three mouths and dating already two weeks after he kissed me on that roof top.

I looked to my side and my eyes widened. Leo wasn't there anymore, Jason was. On the floor of the bus next to me but still next to me.

He looked dazed, confused and completely unfamiliar with the situation he was. Was his name really Jason? What if it was Greg? Nah, Jason suits him better. Well, I guess I need just to go with the flow, right?

"Jason!" I cried.

Jason squinted. He blinked a few times and then looked at me confusedly, as if wondering if I was talking to him.

I mentally shrugged, If I'm going to act, I'll guess I'll do it the best I can. I tried to ignore the fluttering in my heart. Man, he was hot. Small part of my mind wanted to believe he was my boyfriend, but if he was sent from Zeus...

But he looks so innocent. My concision argued.

Shut up, concision.

My concision didn't listen. It kept nagging and nagging. Stupid concision. So, I decided to give him one chance, if he screwed up I'm running him through with my sword.

Okay, maybe not running him through but knocking him down with the hilt would be enough to run.

But I guess I trusted him. Because I felt safe next to him for some reason.

"Jason, are you okay?" I gasped.

"I- I don't know you." He stuttered unsure.

I frowned. What the hell? I could feel the aura of power he radiated. He was a demigod, no doubt of that. Wait, did I just say I felt the aura of power he radiated? Since when I can sense auras? But He was demigod. If I had to guess I would say his father was Zeus, because of his eyes. So if he was here, it had to be for a purpose.

I heard a too familiar voice laughing from the seat behind of me and Leo's head pipped out of the edge of the seat to look at Jason with amusement.

"Leo Valdes." He put his hand out the mischievous grin never leaving his face. "Your best friend for at least three months."

Jason frown only deepened. "What... Who... Where..."

I turned to Leo, trying to play it like I was shocked. "Leo... I think this hit in the head was too hard for him." I turned to Jason. "What do you remember?"

Jason frowned even harder, if possible. He squinted and closed his eyes hard. Then he looked at me, looking devastated and frustrated. "Absolutely nothing." He said genuinely.

I sighed loudly. "So, this is the school bus." gestured around. Leo gave me a look of 'Really, Piper? Really?' I mentally stuck my tongue out at him. "You go to the Wilderness School for trouble kids. I'm your girlfriend, Piper and this is Your Best Friend Leo. We're currently heading to the Grand Canyon on a school trip. Anything rings a bell?"

Jason shook his head. I felt sorry for the guy, losing his memory and appearing at a place he'd never been at before with bunch of people claiming to know him. Sounds pretty suck up.

I stretched my hand out to him. "Well, at least get up from the floor, Amnesia Boy." I grinned at him.

Jason chuckled and grinned back, taking the hand I offered and getting to his feet.

I heard Coach Hedge barking at us from the front of the bus to be quiet. Coach Hedge was the regular tough scary teacher. He was muscular, he had a crazy look in his eyes, and he carried a baseball bat wherever he went. I really wasn't interested to get to know that bat from close. But one thing ruined the tough look of his.

He was 5'0.

Leo smiled wickedly and I knew he was up to something.

"Guys, check this out." He whispered to Jason and I before turning to Hedge. "I can't hear you well, Coach!" He shouted his hands circling his mouth like a cone to raise his voice. "Could you use your megaphone?"

The Coach grinned. He'd use every excuse to use his megaphone, although he really didn't need one. His bark could surpass a plane take-off decibel. He took out his megaphone, turned it on and shouted something.

Instead of hearing a ear-tearing bark I heard Coach Hedge's voice in higher Octave shouts: "I WANT A PINK UNICORN!"

For a moment, the bus was silence, before that every living being in the bus in unison burst out laughing.

I suspect that if The Coach's frown will go any deeper at this point it will endure his skull. He tried to shout again but this time the megaphone screamed. "I GOT A TOAD IN MY PANTS!"

This time, when the bus exploded with laughter The short man realized. His eyes were flaring. "LEO VALDES-"

And then he noticed Jason and froze. He analyzed the demigod with narrowed eyes, he seemed to go through every possiblity that could be. After a long silence, he scoffed and turned around not before sending Jason one last warning glance.

"What his problem?" Leo muttered and I shrugged.

I heard shuffling and turned to see the devil's spawn heading toward in our direction with his regular cocky grin. I really want to punch the lights out of this guy seriously, he just comes off like he's better than everyone else. He needs to learn his place and fast before I take to matter in my own hands.

Dylan Cross. Gods, I hate this guy.

I guess I kind of zoned out because before I noticed he was standing in front of me. Suddenly, for some reason unknown to me I started to feel nervous. And not the Oh-my-god-he's-so-hot-and-he's-talking-to-me girly kind of nervous. But the nervous that you feel when you're in a dark ally in the middle of the night and you have the urge to run away from there. That was it.

Something about Dylan was freaking me out, and it wasn't his good looks.

"Hey, Piper." He said winking at me. He glanced at Jason and Leo, giving them a distasteful look before turning back to me. "Whatcha' doing with this losers anyway. You could do much better."

I sighed. "Just go away, Dylan."

Dylan rolled his eyes and smirked at me, like he knew something that I didn't, which only freaked me out harder. "Whatever you want, Sweetheart." And he walked away.

When I looked at Leo and Jason they both were furious. surprisingly, Jason looked angrier than Leo, his teeth were gritted in a snarl, his eyes electric-blue eyes flashing like a raging lightning storm, his fists were clenched and I could see he was trying his best to not to punch Dylan until he fainted from the pain.

I bit back a smile, and then scolded myself for letting myself to feel excited about Jason being protective over me. He probably just hated guys like him . That's all.

But no matter how hard I tried to keep the blush off my face, I still could my face heated.

I didn't smile for long.

When we needed to the work on the Grand Canyon, and we needed to do it in couples. And naturally, with my stupid luck I got stuck with Dylan so I was doing the work myself and Dylan was just standing there flirting with me.

I was grumbling to myself, annoyed to bone when storm clouds started to form above the skywalks of the Grand Canyon, which was in every meaning, creepy. For a couple of reasons. The First: That it was the middle of the summer. The Second: The day around us was bright, with not a cloud to be seen, its like the Grand Canyon had its own weather.

Dylan smiled faintly while looking at the stormy sky, a twinkle of satisfaction in his eyes. I felt the color drain from my face, he was totally getting to my veins as a chill ran through my spine. I found myself inching away from him.

Suddenly the winds increased drastically to the point that I barely could stand straight on my feet. The other students were struggling against the beating winds. I saw Jason gripping the short railing of the skywalks, trying not to be swept away with the wind.

"Come on!" I said to Dylan, rising on my feet. " We need to get inside, open the doors so everyone could get in."

He frowned with consternation , he looked as if the wind didn't bother him at all. His eyes glinted and for a moment and I regretted the decision to ask him. I shook it off as trick of my mind.

He nodded. "You're right."

Dylan helped me run as we headed toward the doors, the students, who could barely stay still without the wind to push them over stared at us before getting to their feet and struggling toward the door.

Dylan and I were moving faster than I thought possible in those winds but actually, with Dylan close to me, the winds didn't affect me at all. I felt ordinary, as if nothing was different as there is no storm that threatening to knock us all over.

To get the doors open I used force I seriously didn't know I had. The winds were working against me and it took everything I had to keep the left door open, while Dylan was pushing the right door with the same effort as me.

The other students were slowly entering the building, I felt my energy draining and I prayed that I could hold that door a little longer.

Everyone was in, but three. Jason, Leo and Coach Hedge, but when they were about to come in Dylan let go of the door slamming it onto their faces, in a speed of lightning he pushed me away to and I flew to the wall. I covered the back of my head with my hands and felt a searing pain in my arms as I crushed onto the wall.

My arms were bleeding, but I ignored it as I realized I was right. Dylan was dangerous, and he's about to do something to the others.

When I looked up I saw all the students banging on the doors, calling to Jason, Leo and The Coach. On the other side of the glass doors I saw Coach Hedge climbing up the cliff on the other side of the skywalk, and Leo was a few yard above handing by one hand on the cliff. How'd he got there? I really didn't know.

When I looked closer at Coach Hedge I felt my eyes widened. What the Heck happened to him? Or more specific: To his legs! He didn't have ones! He had hooves! Freaking hooves! And his legs were hairy, more hairy than anyone I've ever seen. And then I realized that the Coach wasn't wearing any pants on.

Eew.

Jason was holding a pure gold Roman style sword - A Gladius. And he was facing... a storm cloud? It was a human shaped storm cloud. A Dylan shaped storm cloud. So Dylan wasn't human? Well, that was obvious, but was he? I made a metal note to ask Nico when he arrived.

Nico! With a jolt I ripped off the silver hairpin from my hair and pressed the black stone, with a metallic sound in sprung into a three foot black and silver sword, the beautiful blade glinted with a deadly spark.

The students, who saw the sword and didn't look like they were thrilled to taste from its blade backed away from the door. I raised my sword at the glass, and stabbed the doors right in the middle. The glass shattered, some pieces ending up hitting me in the face and body, but I ignored the pain and struggled against the wind that was pushing me backwards as I passed through the broken glass.

Now there were two more humanoid storm clouds.

The half human half hairy something Coach Hedge and Leo were already landing on the skywalks. Leo looked shaken up and a little pale, but the Coached looked like he just won in million dollars. He swung his baseball bat in the air and stomped his foot, err hoov on the skywalks pavement

"C'MON, CUPCAKES!" He cried. "COME GET SOME GOAT!"

That's when it clicked. He was a satyr, half-human half-goat. That explains the hairy legs, but when I imagined satyrs I imagines nice and nature loving people with horns, not a war crazed PE teacher with baseballs bats. I guess in a situation like that, the crazed PE teacher will do better than a nature loving people with horns.

I the sixteen years I had lived I did many stupid things, for example steeling a BMW, but I can tell you right now, thar what I did at the moment was probably the most idiotic of them all.

I ran straight into one of the storm clouds, swinging a deadly sword that I never used with no idea how to use it correctly, with no experience in battles or any protection while being on a skywalk which I can probably fall from straight to the hands of a dangerous monster.

I probably looked really stupid, swinging a three foot long sword clumsily in the air, crying battle cries but it was enough to starlet the storm cloud she was attacking, and it whirled around just in time to meet my sword in his face. It exploded into wind and I was sent spinning around rapidly from the blow of the wind.

As I was spinning I could see a flash of white silvery light. A lightning. I could hear Dylan cry of astonishment, I saw blurs of my black silver sword and something brown and massy.

The snipping sound sent a chill through me, what was it? It sounded like a pair of sharp scissors cutting a string, but when I heard Coach Hedge bellow I started to doubt it was a string.

When I finally stopped spinning and got off the dizziness I looked at Coach Hedge, at first sight he looked ordinary, just extremely pissed off. His face was totally red from fury, his hands were clenched and his eyes were flashing dangerously. I looked wearily on the baseball bat in his hands. My heart started to beat fasted, which was kind of wierd. Greek wierd monster, sure why not, but an angry teacher with a baseball bat and I start to fear for my life. Oh, the irony.

"MCLEAN!" He roared.

My cheeks turned pink and my eyes widened when I looked at his legs, a pile of brown hair\fur was lying beneath his hooves and his legs looked as if someone chopped his hair out.

"Oops."

He gritted his teeth. "You are lucky that I have storm-spirits to kill, McLean." And with that he turned away to the third wind monster - Storm Spirit - and charged at it.

I exchanged a look with Leo, who looked at me wide-eyed, then he looked at my three feet sword and his eyes got to the size of a pizza.

"Where the heck did you get that and where can I get one too?" He asked eagerly.

I shrugged. "Got it from a friend."

"You have to get me one of those!" Leo exclaimed, grinning like a madman.

I eyed him wryly, not knowing if I should ever place a weapon in hands unless I wasnt a whole house crushed down and happy Leo skipping around it in joy. I shook it off, no way.

"What is that metal anyway?" Leo frowned. "I've never seen it before. There's silver, but what's the black one?"

I shook my head. "Have no idea, but as long as it kills those unglies I don't really care."

And than when I mentally face-palmed. How could I be so stupid? Having small talk with Leo while Jason and Coach Hedge fighting alone against the storm-spirits, though I now found a name for the sword. I decided to call it: Storm-Slayer, I don't know why, but it sounded cool to and it's a reminder of the first monster I ever killed.

A Storm-Spirit.

I turned around in the intention of fighting windy-Dylan but I was too late, a storm-spirit was carrying Coach Hedge away who was screaming bloody murder, Jason just stabbed another storm-spirit and a wave of wind pushed me back over the skywalk and toward the abyss that is the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

I screamed liker my life was depend on it, although I knew that is not going to help me. It's not like someone is going to jump down and catch me, and even if there is, how exactly are we going to get up? It's not like anyone here knows how to fly.

My heart pounded faster the more I got closer to the bottom. I closed my eyes tight and prepared myself for the impact, I hoped it wouldn't hurt to land, that My neck would just snap or something when I reached the bottom.

I felt arms around my waist, I stopped screaming. I opened my eyes to realize I wasn't falling anymore. And my cheeks turned bright red when I saw who was holding me in the air.

Jason.

I could see his features closely now. He had a strong jaw, thin lips, his blue eyes reflected the sky in a lightning storm, electric and beautiful, his wavy hair was floating back in the wind. The little scar on his lips was making him even hotter than in my opinion, that little flaw was making him perfect.

Suddenly we started to rise up toward the skywalk above. I felt unsteady, like I wasn't controlling my feet.

"The air is supporting us." Jason gasped, like he didn't know what he was doing before he jumped. So, he jumped down, probably to his death to save a girl he doesn't even know.

Heart, stop fluttering!

"So make it support us faster." I blurted out, unable to stop myself.

And he did. He looked quite surprise of what he did when we landed back on the skywalk. In matter of fact I think his eyes were wider than mine. Like he was thinking: How the hell did I just do it.

I was thinking the same.

Just when I thought things couldn't get any stranger Leo stared at the now calm sky and his eyes widened. "Is that a winged horse?!" He cried and pointed up.

"Leo, really? a flying hor..." Jason stopped his sentence as he looked up to three shapes diving down our direction, the first one was black and from the two sides of it were a sandy and gray.

They were three horses with wings that were flying right at us.

We were about to run for our dear lives when I heard a familiar voice calling. "Piper!"

Nico had come to get us.

"Nico!" I shouted to the sky. "I'm here!"

The three horses - Pegasi - dived faster toward us. The two boys at my side looked at them wryly, Leo looked ready to bolt at any moment now, and Jason raised his golden gladius, I noticed that he had only one shoe and his bare foot was smoking. What the hell had happen to him?

The Pegasi landed. Nico was riding a pure black Pegasus, the one in the middle. A girl was riding the one with the sandy hair. She had thin coal-black hair loosen and ice-blue eyes, pale skin a graceful body language, she was beautiful in every meaning of the word.

The boy on the Gray Pegasus wasn't so beautiful. He looked fine, not more than that. He had good built though. buffed muscles and strong-looking hands and arms. He was African-American, his skin was dark, he had brown curls and warm brown eyes. He reminded me a lot of Leo only Leo was scrawny, his eyes were mischievous and he wasn't African-American. Other than that they could be brothers or something.

Before I could even register what I was doing I lunged forward and wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in his shoulder. For a moment he froze before hugging me back.

"Hi." He whispered in my ear.

I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing onto his shoulder. Maybe it was the relief of being alive, maybe it was just the feeling of seeing someone acting casual after I almost died.

When I took a step back I saw his face were completely red, the beautiful girl was smiling smugly at Nico while the boy wrapped his hand around her shoulder and shook his head in amusement.

"Hi." I said giggling, which I almost never do.

"What's so funny?" Nico asked looking embarrassed.

The beautiful girl laughed heartily and flipped her hair back. "You, silly."

The boy chuckled.

Jason looked at them suspiciously, mainly at Nico. I saw something in eyes I couldn't identify, something that seemed a little like anger, not anger... Jealousy? No wa, right? I mean, I just met the guy. But when you think about I met Nico barely ten minutes before I met Jason. I considered them both my friends, I felt like I could trust them.

The beautiful girl rushed forward and engulf me in a hug. "My name is Silene Beauregard." She said taking a step back, a dazzling grin on her face. "It's so nice to finally meet you."

I frowned. "Finally meet me, but Nico and I met only an hour or two ago."

Siena laughed. "Actually you met Nico a year ago, at Christmas. Just for you it was today." She glanced at me, from up to down. "Wow, Nico wasn't kidding when he said you were beautiful."

I felt a blush rise to my cheeks. He thinks I'm beautiful? He was rather handsome of himself, even with the dark attitude he looked glared daggers at Silene, but the fact that he was blushing his blood out ruined the scary image.

"I'm Charles Beckendorf." The boy introduced himself, taking a step forward and stretching his hand out for me to take. I took it with a smile.

"Piper McLean." I answered.

Charles grimaced. "Nico told us you've seen Percy's... execution..." His voice was low.

I nodded, than frowned. "I didn't see you and Silene there."

Beckendorf nodded. "We weren't there. We were on a date, didn't really want to be at the council meeting, we didn't know... when we came back Nico and the others told us what happened. I almost marched into Mount Olympus and re-done Hades' job with Zeus' Bolt, luckily Nico stopped me."

Silene nodded sadly. "Ditto. I almost ripped Annabeth's head off when I heard she stood against him in the so called trial. He didn't deserve it. He wasn't a murderer, he was a Hero."

I was to ask what have he done when Leo inched closer and stood next to me. "Um... Hi... My name's Leo Valdes. Nice to meet you guys and stuff but... who are you?"

Jason joined in and nodded with a thoughtful look. "How exactly do you Piper? And who was executed?"

A tear glistened in Nico's eyes and he looked down at the floor of the skywalk. "My cousin." He said darkly.

"His name was Percy Jackson." Beckendorf said. "He was framed for murder. We owe him our lives. Especially me."

"Why?" I asked.

"He saved my life." Beckendorf explained. "We were both on a ship who was going to explode, in the last second he jumped forward and shielded me, taking most of the blow himself. He almost died to safe me."

Silene chuckled quietly. "And when Charley Thanked him in the infirmary, when he was totally in bandages, the idiot looked at him. comepletly confused and asked 'For What?'"

Nico laughed. "Yeah, I remember that. You looked like a fish, gaping at him."

"Guys!" Leo cried. "Is this Keep-Leo-Valdes-out-of-the-loop-day? Cause I'm totally lost."

Nico quickly caught himself together and turned serious again. "We'll explain on the way. Now we need to go, the longer we're the greater the chance monster will attack."

"Monsters?" Leo exclaimed. "You mean like Air-Head-Dylan?"

Nico nodded and hopped on the black Pegasus. He gave his hand which I gratefully took and I mounted on the Pegasus. Silene mounted on the sandy haired one with Jason behind her and the same was happennig with Leo and Beckendorf.

"Giddi Up, Blackjack!" Nico cried and the black Pegasus rose to the air.

"Blackjack?" I asked while flying. The others were behind us.

"This was Percy's Pegasus." He explained.

"Oh..."

"This is SO AWESOME!" Leo screamed to no one praticular.

I looked at Jason, his arms were wrapped around Silene's waist. I felt a pang of Jealousy in my heart but quickly shook it off. Jason was gazing at sky, he seemed to be in a deep musing.

If I ever had to choose the most bizzar I had I would choose that one without hesitation.

And to think that some people are living like this on daily basis, ridig flying horses, fighting monsters, falling of skywals to their death. That was totally wierd.

I wish I knew then that things were to get much much worse.

So... What did you guys think? Good? Bad? I hope it's good. I work hard on that.

Whatever you want to say: say it - the good and the bad, I'll take it with me and try to improve my writing style.

You noticed that Silene and Beckendorf were alive, right? Well, I guess you did because they're not dead and they're walking and talking. I can't live them dead I just could!

The next chapter will be in Reyna;s point of view, when she meets Percy.

How is he alive?

You'll find out soon enough...

Comment!

Just for the fun I'm adding Trivia: In the Son of Neptune - How did Percy reacted when he heard about the feast of Fortuna in Camp Jupiter?

Love you all!
