Ok.. lets get this up. This is defiantly goin' faster than I expected. Oh yeah, and I meant to say when Percy calls Nico 'Nico-chan' or 'Nico-chi" its kind of a way to call someone your friend in Japanese. Its mainly used for girls or guys with girly traits. Like our little Nico here! Anyway, enjoy.
Chapter 3
All in all, this whole idea wasn't bad. It would give the campers something else to do in the boring atmosphere of the camp where everything was day-to-day routine, archery, capture the flag, swimming, and avoiding cleaning harpies. It started to get a bit dull after awhile. There was still the fact of getting the whole thing approved, though. Nico and Percy grabbed Grover and Juniper on their way to the Big House. They couldn't just throw a water party without permission, of course. It would be easier to ask Chiron but the centaur was a bit busy keeping his mass of cousins supplied with root beer and other candy/chips or anything he could find.
So there last resort.. Dionysus.
The wine god like parties, right? Shouldn't be hard to get him to let them play around with a bit of water. The Big House loomed overhead, its baby blue walls creating the illusion it was glowing in the heat. Or maybe it was really glowing because Rachel was visiting? Grover put a hand over his face to shield his eyes from the sun, which no one saw was necessary because he was in fact wearing a orange visor that matched his CHB shirt.
"Alright. Lets go see the wine dude." Grover cracked his knuckles ass if getting ready for a fight. He smiled widely. "Your such a retard." Nico growled.
"Nico, stop. Your ruining the mood." Grover said. Nico frowned. "Sorry sunshine boy." Grover pretended to take offense, making his mouth large and taking a surprised step back. "Well I'll never.." He said in a little playful Disney princess voice. Nico rolled his eyes.
"You are way too sour, Nico-chi. Lighten up." Percy grabbed the boy's cheeks, spreading them wide like the crazy Aphrodite girls when they saw him.
"Perseus Jackson, I told you to lay off the Japanese names!" Nico yelled. Juniper smiled cutely the only way Juniper could. Her smiles always reminded you of sweet berries and her voice was like warm milk. Well.. not literally because then her smile would be made out of berries and she'd pour warm milk out of her mouth. Even tree nymphs couldn't do that. Maybe if she tried hard enough, though. Nico tried not to debate with himself. He always thought strange things.
But he wasn't hitting on Juniper. No. He was as gay as a rainbow (even though that's a little bit stereotype-ish). Its just Juniper always had that distinctive voice. A bit like Percy, but Percy sounded a lot sweeter than her. In his opinion, at least.
"Yo brother, your zoning out like your on weed." Grover poked Nico out of his wondering subconscious. Juniper was smiling at him, her eyes half open. I guess if you were straight, you'd say she was extremely pretty.
"Bitch, stop checking out my girl." Grover wrapped an arm around Juniper, pulling her against his side. She blushed. "Dude, you know I'm so fucking gay it hurts to even wrap your head around it. We're cool. I was just looking at her because she has a pretty smile." Nico nodded to her slightly.
Juniper blushed a little deeper. "Thanks.." She was quiet as usual.
"Really. He's so gay he makes Shakespeare seem like a fucking biker dude." Percy said. Nico glared at him. "Do you have to take it that far?" He was blushing by now.
"Yes. Every single time." Percy smiled. Nico sighed. "Right, back to the task at hand." They walked into the Big House, quite worried because Percy was in fact still shirtless. At least Grover had enough sense to put his on. Juniper had her hands at her front and that light little blush was still on her face. Percy was walking to his left, looking quite proud of himself.
Nico took the time to drink in his appearance. Percy was in fact very good looking. His skin was as tan as usual, it even looked like that during summer. His eyes were so blue-ish green you could look into them all day. It was like looking into a Hawaiian ocean. He looked down slightly at his chest. Percy was built very well, you could even tell if he was wearing a shirt. There was a small diagonal cut on his left side from Ares, and a few that Nico couldn't name.
Grover snapped him out of his thoughts. "We're here. Nico, stop staring." Nico lit up like a campfire. They had made it to the main room (without Nico dying from a nosebleed) and Dionysus was sitting at a table shifting through papers. He looked up upon their arrival. "What do you want?" He grumbled.
Everyone pushed Nico forward because it was his idea- they said. Funny how they could face hordes of monsters, Kronos, and you name it but they couldn't face grumpy Dionysus.
"Hello, er- .. sir." Nico stumbled. Dionysus grunted.
"We actually had a request."
"If your friends got eaten by cleaning harpies- no. I can't help with that." Dionysus went back down to his papers and shifted through them. Percy rubbed his hair nervously.
"No sir." He said. "We actually.. had a request. Something a little different form capture the flag and chariot races."
"Fine, tell me Peter Johnson. I'm in a relatively good mood anyway. It will at least humor me." Percy blushed. "Percy Jackson.." He muttered under his breath. "So, uh.. my.. umm ..f-friend Nico here-"
"Boy, everyone knows you and Nico are together." Dionysus said, still not looking up from his papers. He was now also sipping a cup of diet coke.
"Right- uh.. we thought it would be kind of cool to have a water gun fight. Cause.. its hot and everything.. so.." Percy pulled at the ends of his pants. Nico knew he did that when he was nervous. He usually used his shirt, but he wasn't really equipped with one. Everyone stepped back when Dionysus exploded into a hearty laugh. Nico didn't know if he had even heard him laugh before.
"You must be insane! Thinking I'll let you stupid children run around with water guns. I'd get soaked!" Dionysus was still laughing. The group was dumbfounded. "W-we're not going to spray you." Grover stumbled. That surprised Nico because even though Grover could get very nervous, he usually sounded very cool and collected. Dionysus's laughter stopped abruptly and he glared at Grover.
"Listen satyr. I said no. And no means no." Dionysus may be the fat god of wine, but when he was mad.. it wasn't something you wanted to see. His purplish-red eyes shot daggers at Nico. "Sorry, boy. It was a good idea and all but it is not happening. We have other things to waste our time on."
Percy's head drooped. "Yes sir. Sorry for bothering you."
Dionysus grunted in response. He flicked his hand as if to dismiss them. "Now, be on your way Vico."
"Its Nico.." Nico said quietly.
"Whatever." Dionysus rolled his eyes, not once looking up from his papers.
The once happy and jubilant group now slumped through the heat in boredom. Nico hadn't figured out why Dionysus said no. It was hot and they weren't going to get in his way. They would actually give him more space. But then the camp might be a bit loud.. you know, the screaming and all. Grover began chewing on his shirt.
"Bb-haa! What's with that stupid wine guy! We just wanted to have some fun." Percy lightly thumped Grover on the forehead so he'd stop chewing on his t-shirt.
"Dionysus is always opposed to fun. His lifetime goal is to make us miserable during his sentence." Nico said. Everyone nodded solemnly in agreement. Nico sighed out, looking around. Kids were slumping around from the heat, and half the guys were shirtless. Those damn Apollo campers were still loving it though. The guys were running around kicking sand at each other near the beach while the girls suntanned. They didn't even have to get in the water.
Leo didn't look too opposed either, he was right in there with the Apollo campers. Hephaestus fire powers.. did it work with the sun too now? Of course the half-Mexican was clearly after the Apollo and Aphrodite girls, who were all in bikinis. He was practically drooling over himself. Nico pointed this out to Percy, who laughed. The son of Poseidon always seemed to make the mood a little brighter.
Grover bah-ed. "This is stupid! Why should we even listen to him? We could do it anyway!"
"Grover, sweetheart, you know we'd get in huge trouble if we did." Juniper pointed out.
"Juni. Hate to break it too you but these guys make a living by fighting monsters and titans. I don't think breaking the rules is going to get us killed." Grover said.
"He's right." Nico and Percy agreed. Grover looked proud of himself. Juniper shrugged. "I know, but I'm worried what Dionysus would do if he found out."
"Of course he'll find out. It'll be one hell of a party, man. But little Dio likes parties, right?" Grover smirked. Nico couldn't help but grin at the satyr's sentence. If they were really going to do this, they needed some serious kind of plan otherwise they'd get caught.
As if reading Nico's thoughts, Percy answered him. "If we really are going to pull this off we'll have to make some kind of plan. First- we need more people that will do it. Second- we need somewhere where we can decide what we're going to do. Anyone oppose?"
Nobody moved.
"Alright, it's settled then. We can meet in Nico's cabin. Now, lets go get some bitches."
Haha ok xD I don't know why... but I totally love that last line. Bear with me guys.. I have to go back to school this week. I've been going like a copying machine this weekend but my school is covered in motherfuckers who purposely pile me with homework.
Thanks for all the favs, views, reviews, etc. Your awesome guys :)
