Title: Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Pairing: Percy/Rachel

Word Count: 100

Song: Falling In Love At a Coffee Shop – Landon Pigg


In her short fifteen-year life, Rachel Elizabeth Dare has learned one truth: boys are stupid. Pulling her pigtails until she cried – or later, until she punched them in the nose – she has never been convinced otherwise.

Yet, she walks into the coffee shop on West 43rd and sees this boy, smiling green eyes and gentle hands who doesn't skateboard in the summer, saves the world instead –

She falls. Pretty hard. So hard that she agrees to go on some life-risking quest with him because, well – he makes her heart flutter.

Truth still holds up: boys are stupid.

She is too.


A/N: In which Percy is a chick magnet, even though he is too thick to realize it. I imagine Rachel to be the kind of level-headed girl who doesn't go for stupid boy shenanigans.

Forgot, last time to thank percabeth777 for adding me to the Quality PJO Fanfictions community. Very cool. I am, as always, flattered, especially as this fic is only 400 words long so far.
