Hello you beautiful readers! I'm here today with chapter two. I put some sibling fluff with Jason and Thalia in this chapter, because I love sibling fluff. :3 and Thalia seems a little OOC in my opinion. Sorry about that, I really struggle with her. So now without further ado, chapter two! Hey that rhymed. xD


Leo was seriously bored. He had already finished wrapping everyone's presents, and had been sitting in cabin nine for quite some time just looking for something to do. Frank and Hazel would be here today, Thalia had gotten here yesterday, and Jason the day before, yet Thalia and Jason had just spent the entire day shut up in cabin one. He was supposed to be the first to welcome back his best friend, but that hadn't worked out since Percy had vaguely told him not to bother Jason at all. But he had nothing to do, and sneaking into cabin one looked like a really good idea right now.

So that's how he ended up walking across camp like a ninja, only to slip on the ice outside of Jason and Thalia's door. Jason opened the door, and a smile broke out over his paler-than-normal face.

"Hey, man." Leo stood up and brushed himself off. "I was gonna come see you yesterday, but Percy told me not to for some reason. What's going on?"

"Well, I kind of... Passed out while teaching a sword fighting class yesterday." He explained. Leo could see Thalia shaking her head in the background. "Turns out that I have some sort of flu virus that's highly contagious." Jason said that part casually and with a weak smile. How sick can he be? Leo had thought.

"You really should keep your distance," Thalia warned. "We wouldn't want you sick on Christmas, which is in...Three days."

"Okay, I'll get going then." Leo smiled. "Hey, do me a favor and get better, will you? I don't want my best friend sick on Christmas."

"I'll try," Jason grinned. Leo walked back out and into cabin nine.


"So who's your friend?" Thalia asked, picking at her cuticle.

"That was Leo, son of... Greek Vulcan." Jason answered. "Sorry, I know the name, I just can't think straight today."

"Did you mean Hephaestus?" She suggested. He nodded.

"Yeah. Anyway, we've known each other for about a year now and we went on a quest..." He trailed off. "Hold on, we ran into you!"

"Oh, yeah. I remember now." Thalia said. "What about Piper?"

"What about her?"

"Are you two dating, or...?"

"Yeah, we're dating." Jason's nose twitched. Then again. And again.

"Something wrong?" Thalia asked. In an answer, he sneezed. "...Oh. Here." She tossed her brother a box of tissues. "You seriously need to get better. How long did Solace say this would last?"

"A couple days, I think." Jason answered. "It really shouldn't last more than four or five days." He let out a fit of harsh coughs.

"We should probably get to work on wrapping presents later." She said. "But right now, I think you should sleep. I'll go down to someone's cabin and see if they have any tape that we can borrow. Any preferences on wrapping paper?" But he was already asleep, so she tiptoed out.


"Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la, la la la la." Percy sang loudly as him and Annabeth hung tinsel around the interior of cabin three. "Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la."

"Don we now our gay apparel," Annabeth joined in. "Fa la la, la la la, la la la."

"Troll the ancient Yuletide carol," they both belted out. "Fa la la la la, la la la la."

"Okay," Thalia sighed from the doorway. "When you two are done singing, I could use some wrapping paper."

"Oh, hi Thalia. As a matter of fact, I do have wrapping paper." Percy pulled a roll of blue wrapping paper decorated with glitter out from behind a dresser. "Here you go."

"Really?" She asked. "Blue isn't even Christmassy."

"It is in my world." He replied. "Annabeth, where should I put these snow globes?"

"Just leave those alone for now, they might fall if anyone-" but Annabeth's words were lost as Percy reached up for a snow globe. There was a rumble as one fell down, hit him on the head, and shattered in an explosion of glitter, water, and broken glass. His forehead was bleeding and there was a shard of glass in the wound. Percy was covered in glitter, and he had a dazed look about him.

"Seaweed Brain...?" Annabeth asked cautiously.

"Annabeth... Snow globe... Blue cookies..." He mumbled incoherently.

"Come on," Thalia grabbed his arm. "Let's go to the Apollo cabin and see if they can help you at all."

"...Apollo... Octavian... Pillow pet..."

"Come on..." She grunted. "Annabeth, a little help?"


"What happened?" Will Solace asked.

"Snow globe accident." Thalia replied. "I believe that you're the one who checked over my younger brother yesterday, right?"

"Who's your brother?" Will asked.

"Jason Grace," she answered. "I'm Thalia Grace."

"Oh, I remember you." He said. "Minor concussion. Percy needs lots of bed rest for a day or two." Will shook his head. "You guys are having bad luck, aren't you? First someone gets sick, then a concussion... Let's just hope that nobody else gets sick or injured. I don't want to work on Christmas."

"Thanks for your consideration," Annabeth replied dryly. "Come on, Seaweed Brain. Let's get you into bed."


"Is this it?" Hazel asked, grabbing Frank's hand.

"Looks like it," he replied. "Come on." Hazel lead Arion across the order to camp half blood, where she spotted Piper immediately.

"Piper!" She shouted, running towards her friend. Piper turned around, and a huge grin broke out on her face.

"Hazel!" She said, pulling her friend into a hug. "Frank! So nice to see you guys!"

"Yeah, you too." Frank grinned. "Uh, where's everyone else?"

"Um, yeah... We haven't had the best luck these past few days." Piper answered. "Jason's been sick since yesterday and Percy just recently was involved in a snow globe accident."

"A snow globe accident," Frank repeated. "How'd that happen?"

"Don't know, but he has a concussion. Luckily, though, both of you are fine."

"Hey, don't jinx it!" Hazel giggled. "Well, we're going to go to our cabins and unpack. See you at dinner."


okay, so Jason is still sick, and now Percy has a concussion from a snow globe accident! I'll update in a few days. See you then!
