Author's Note: Hi, guys! Thanks for all of the nice reviews on the first chapter! A couple things to address: Yes, I know this could never have happened on the Argo II because there was absolutely no time for a stupid game like this. It was just an idea I thought of, and my friends and I are having lots of fun with it. And about the reactions, it is just a game, and I know I should water them down a little bit. I've tried to do that. It's a lot of people's first times playing it, so you have that *gasp* No way! Why? kind of reaction, you know?
Okay, well, it's Annabeth's turn now. Tell me what you think of it!
DISCLAIMER: No, unfortunately I'm not Double-R. Sorry to disappoint you guys.
Enjoy!
Annabeth
She saw that evil look on Percy's face and was even more annoyed with him, though she hadn't thought that was possible after hearing Percy confess that he would rather kill Athena than sleep with her. Although Annabeth had an idea that Percy would choose sleeping with Aphrodite. What dude wouldn't choose sleeping with Aphrodite? She was Aphrodite. That was kind of her thing.
But the Big Three? Having to rank them was bad enough; having to rank them in front of their children made her shudder. "First, I want to know something," she told Percy. "Why would you want to throw your father into this?"
He shrugged. "Because I want to hear your answer before deciding whether or not you're justified in being mad at me for killing your mom?"
Annabeth glared at him, having perfected her death glare, knowing everything about it (even her strange eye color) intimidated Percy. "First of all," she started, "I didn't choose your three people; Leo did. Second, I'm still completely justified in being mad at you for killing my mom; your reasoning was that because she's a virgin, you can't do anything with her. And I know you just wanted to kill her because you don't like her."
Percy narrowed his eyes at her. "I don't like any of those goddesses," he told her. "So that's not even valid."
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Whatever, Seaweed Brain."
Leo raised an eyebrow. "Calm down, guys," he chuckled, a little nervously. "It's a game. Don't take it so seriously."
Annabeth took a deep breath. Leo's right, she thought. She looked at the faces around her, from Percy to Jason to Hazel. I have to choose between their dads, she thought to herself, mentally groaning. Jason only looked at her with those sky blue eyes narrowed slightly. Annabeth had the feeling that whatever she chose for Zeus, Jason would keep his reaction to himself. The guy was too levelheaded for a reaction similar to her own.
Hazel stared at the ground uncomfortably, as if she wanted to run away from that room in order to avoid Annabeth's choices.
As for Annabeth, she had no idea who to choose for what. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades. Wed, Bed, or Dead? Zeus would probably be the worst guy in the world to marry. And honestly, Poseidon wouldn't be the best guy, either. Annabeth supposed Hades would be the one to wed. And for bed or dead… "I can't believe I'm saying this," Annabeth muttered, "but…wed Hades…bed with Poseidon, and…sorry, Jason," she finished with an apologetic look to the other blonde.
Percy shrank away from Annabeth and made a face. "Ew," he muttered. "Why did you choose sleeping with my dad?"
Annabeth's face grew warmer. "You want the honest answer?" she murmured.
He raised an eyebrow. "No, I want a lie. Duh, of course want an honest answer." A hint of his smirk returned. "I thought you were Wise Girl."
"I think you'd prefer a lie, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth muttered.
Leo grinned wickedly. "Spill it, Annie," he urged.
"If you ever call me Annie again, I'm tossing you overboard," Annabeth growled. Where did that nickname even come from, and who gives you the right to call me that? Then she took a deep breath. "But um, I chose Poseidon because…" She trailed off, unable to continue without her heart taking off.
Percy raised his eyebrows. "Yes?"
"Because…you…look like him," she finally admitted.
It took a few seconds for it to register around the room. But Percy's green eyes went wide and his cheeks went pink, and everyone seemed to get it.
Jason frowned. "So you would kill my dad to sleep with his?" he asked accusingly.
Yeah, you know how it feels now, huh, Grace? Annabeth thought to herself.
Leo laughed. "What I want to know is, what kind of dirty things are going on in your blond head, Chase? So you want to sleep with Percy?"
Even stoic Jason cracked a smile. Frank glanced at the floor. Hazel fanned herself with her hand, like the thought of sleeping with Percy was such a scandal she felt faint. Piper studied the two of them with her multi-colored eyes, and Annabeth felt like she was being romantically evaluated or something.
"As for Jason," Annabeth muttered, "Again, sorry. I just…wouldn't be able to marry your dad, and honestly…I don't want to be one of the thousands of girls he's been with."
He raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms. "Like my mom?" he pointed out.
Annabeth mentally face-palmed. "No offense to your mom or anything," she added quickly, but she knew it was too little, too late.
"Um, offense kind of taken," Jason muttered.
Annabeth's face flushed. "I'm sorry," she murmured. She wondered when she should just put her foot in her mouth and shut up.
But Leo was still chuckling at her. "So you wanna get naughty with Percy, huh?" he reminded her.
Annabeth rolled her eyes to hide her embarrassment. But she couldn't help notice the curious yet awkward look on Percy's face. His cheeks were bright pink. "You…think about me like that?" Percy asked nervously. "That's why you chose bed for Poseidon?"
Annabeth sighed. "Yeah," she whispered. Come on; give me a break, Seaweed Brain. You're extremely attractive. Tall, tan, beautiful eyes, nice hair…and nicer body. Very nice body. And great kisser. Excellent kisser. Her heart raced with her racy thoughts.
It was as if Percy could read them through her expression, and he looked awkwardly at the ground. "Okay," he finally said. "Well…I'm not sure whether to be flattered…or scared."
"Both," Leo laughed. "Definitely both, dude."
Jason smirked. Piper kept studying Annabeth like a love science project. Hazel refused to make eye contact with anyone, especially not Annabeth or Percy, and Frank took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Percy's never going to look at me the same way again, she thought. "Anyway," she murmured. "Jason's turn: Me, Hazel, Piper."
Okay so Jason's reaction was kind of harsh. He was defending his mom. He's allowed to do that, right?
So what do you think? Did you like it? Tell me about it! I love your feedback, seriously.
