DISCLAIMER - Only the Monster and the Lake are mine. Percy Jackson isn't, sadly, and Death belongs to everyone.
Percy rode a motorcycle he stole from a shed along the Yellow Brick Road for fifty seven hours until he came across a huge rock with a sign on it. When he got close enough to read the sign, he saw that it read: "Rock of Life".
"That was incredibly easy," said Percy, getting off his motorcycle to inspect the rock. "Now all I have to do is find some guy named Death!"
Then, like magic, Percy caught sight of an inn beside the Rock! On its door was painted, "If you want to see Death, come inside. If not, then we are closed." So Percy hitched up his boxers and went inside.
A figure in a Dark cloak sat at a table eating a cheeseburger that was remarkable similar to the one Percy had eaten earlier. Percy could see through the black cloak that the seated person was very thin. Percy cleared his throat and said "Yo, what up, dawg!"
The cloaked figure turned slowly towards Percy, revealing a skull with two shining glass eyeballs where its head should be. "Soooo hungry..." moaned Death. "Everything I eat just falls right out again!" He opened his cloak to reveal that his body was that of a skeleton. Pieces of Percy's cheeseburger lay on the chair he was sitting on in between his thigh bones. "I can't even eat the Monster fries!" he wailed. He sank onto the table, crying tearlessly for he had no tear ducts for tears to escape from.
"Aww! Don't worry, Death!" Percy cried, running over to where he was sitting, "I'm on a quest for the wonderful Lake of Gross and Scary Goo, and anything that amazing has to cure fatality. If you help me find it, we can cure your skeletalness and satisfy my hunger for monster goo!"
"OK" , said Death, raising his skull much more happily. "Just let me pack my things."
"You don't have anything," said Percy. "Just your bones."
"Oh right," said Death. "My lack of a brain made me forget."
"Well, come on" said Percy. "We don't have all day".
The two of them left the inn and set off down the Yellow Brick Road again.
After walking for an incredibly boring week, Percy realized that not only was he beginning to look a little skeletal as well, but he had also forgotten to ask anyone for directions. He looked around. Tumbleweed blew across the cactus-dotted desert landscape. He had the sinking feeling that he was the only living thing around for miles. "Death," he said slowly. "I think we're lost."
Death just groaned at him. "Sooo... hungry..."
Percy ignored him in favor of having a panic attack.
After running around for several minutes, Percy noticed a large yellow ball with purple lights spinning around it was hanging in the air above him and Death. This could only mean one thing.
"ALIENS!" screamed Percy, as he dashed off in the direction he and Death had come. Before he had gotten very far an ominous shadow appeared, followed by a whirlwind of dust.
Oh, no! A whirlwind! What's inside it? Death? The Aliens? A big fat goat? To find out, read the next chapter of "Percy Jackson and the Lake of Gross and Scary Goo"!
If you review mine, I can review yours in exchange! Just tell me which story you want me to read, and I'll do it. Because I love you more than Percy loves Monster Goo.
