Percy Jackson Christmas Special!

Thank you for your support throughout this! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter, with the Frazel.

I'm sooooo happy that today was the last day of school until January! School is such a bore, except for some of it. But the bad thing is that I have stupid Earth Science homework. Do you feel my pain?!

Thanks for reviewing: Monkey221 and jediwiththeelderwand. Your support is amazing, you guys!

Now, onto the chapter.


Decorating


A few days before Christmas, Percy came home to his mom's apartment to see an amazing sight.

Nico was rummaging through his mom's holiday decoration closet, which was the only pice of storage in their whole house. Sally just didn't find any other things to store in their house other than decorations. Christmas was her favorite holiday.

Anyway, Percy was wearing his backpack and eating chips when he walked into the house. "Mom, I'm ho - " Nico was taking boxes out of the closet.

"Nico," Percy sighed, like this was an ordinary happening. "What are you doing in my mom's closet?"

He looked up from his work. "I'm borrowing Christmas decorations." He went back to removing boxes.

"You at least could have called!" Percy murmured. "Why do you need Christmas decorations in the first place?"

"The last Christmas decoration I had was in the 1930's, remember?" Nico said plainly. "I don't own a wreath or a string of lights."

"I - I forgot about that," Percy said. "Then why don't you buy some?"

"I'm broke. I'm in debt."

Percy sighed. "Fine. I suppose that you can borrow some stuff, little cousin. I repeat, borrow. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, Percy," Nico proceeded to take a wreath, multicolored lights, a snowman inflatable, and the North Pole sign for a Christmas village. "Thanks, Percy! You're the best!" With that, he shadow-traveled away.

Percy sighed. "That kid can be quite a handful." He decided it would be best to clean up the closet and put it back the way it was.

Later that day, Sally was trying to make sense of all of the decorations.

"Paul, honey, can you help me with these lights?" she called."

A voice yelled back, "I'll be there in a minute!"

Sally, looking into one of the boxes, realized something:

"Where's the snowman inflatable?"


Percy was visiting Camp Half-Blood. Everything was in order for Christmas; the Big House was decorated, the carolers were practicing, Elf-in-the-Shelves were placed to freak people out of their minds, and there was a giant tree provided by the nymphs to give light during the campfire.

To Percy, it looked perfect. He, himself, had decorated the Poseidon cabin so that it would be perfect. Since Percy was a Christmas fanatic like his mother, he wanted to spread the Christmas cheer by inspecting all of the other cabins to see if they were decorated.

Now, I don't know about you, but this sounds like an ineffective tactic to spread the Christmas spirit. Oh, Percy.

He would make a "U" shape, looking at the cabins, skipping Hera, Zeus, and Artemis. No one inhabited those three. The Demeter cabin was full of multicolored poinsettias and other pretty flowers. The Hecate campers were busy baking, using magic to make it quicker. All of the cabins looked great, all the way up to the Hades cabin.

For some reason, Percy always felt a sense of dread when he approached the Hades cabin. It was so dark on the outside, and the curtains were closed. It was an eyesore, if you wanted to put it lightly. Today, it was as dark and gloomy as ever.

He cautiously opened the door... and was welcomed with bright lights. Was this the Hades cabin?

The posts of the bed were spiraled in lights. A countdown towards Christmas hung on the wall, reading "3 days 'til Christmas!" A giant Christmas village stood on a table, with a choo-choo train running around it. Multiple wreaths were hung up and a mini Christmas tree laid in the center of the room.

The only thing that wasn't lit up was Nico himself, who was lying on the bed reading.

"Nico... did you somehow multiply my mom's lights and wreath?" Percy asked, choking on his own words. "Because I swear this isn't what I let you borrow."

He finally looked up. "Oh, well, I found that your lights didn't do much, so I asked Will to take me shopping. That guy actually has money, unlike you."

"Well, I'm sorry!" Percy yelled. "I didn't know that, well, you wanted a Santa's village and a choo-choo train! I'll be going now. Don't expect to see me again in here." He stormed off, mumbling things about, 'types' and 'not my fault.'

Nico went back to his book. "Well then, Merry Christmas, Mr. Scrooge!" and then: "You also forgot all of your decorations that I didn't use!"


I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Next one will be Piper and Jason. I also want to try and add in a Tratie one shot in there, 'cause they're awesome together. If there is time, that'll be there. And maybe something with Reyna, because she's always a nice addition.

Thank you for reading! I'm excited for the last chapter. It might be out after Christmas, but who really cares. There are 12 days of Christmas to spare, you know?

Read and review for feedback. It's always appreciated. Merry Christmas!
