Disclaimer: I do not own PJO. How many times do I have to do this?
Sorry, but all my chapters are really, really, short. I'll try to make them longer, I promise!
My eyes scanned the beach for a Seaweed Brain. I spotted Grover, but no Percy. I jogged a bit to the blanket my satyr friend was sitting on.
"Hey." I plopped down next to him. "Seaweed Brain here yet?"
"No. You didn't actually think he would be here on time, did you?"
I just shrugged. I gazed at the ocean and waited. And waited. And waited. It must have been an eternity, but finally his sneakers pounded against the sand. He ran up, panting, saying," Sorry, I was doing something and lost track of time."
What was he doing that made him 10 minutes late?
"What were you doing, Seaweed Brain?" I did my big-innocent-gray-eyes thing. He shifted his weight uncomfortably.
"I was talking to Tyson. I asked him to do me a favor."
"And that was?"
"Never mind. What did you guys bring? I brought PB&J."
My mind was working overtime, trying to figure out what favor he could ask Tyson.
"I brought Coke and a bunch of carrots and some tin cans for me." Grover said.
They both looked at me. One pair of dazzling green eyes and a pair of brown ones.
" I brought nothing." They stared at me. "Just kidding. I brought ham sandwiches."
Percy laid out his blue blanket next to Grover's gray one with a tree on it. Since I didn't bring one, I had a choice of sitting on the sand, Grover's blanket, or Percy's blanket. I wanted to sit on Percy's blanket, but that would be too close for his comfort. So I sat on the sand, wondering what this night could bring.
SORRY. I GUESS I FORGOT TO TELL YOU THAT IT WAS A NIGHT PICNIC, HUH?
