Hello fanfictioners!
Here is the last installment of Baby It's Cold Outside. This chapter was the most fun to write, since we got to make Percy and Annabeth be very out-of-character (that is, by the way, what OOC means).
Anyway, we wanted to let you know that even when it's not Christmas anymore, we will still be updating this story. Just give us a song to write about and we'll put something together. After all, you can have Christmas in June, can't you? :)
Happy Holidays!

When Annabeth told him her devious plan, Percy had an equally evil grin. The two went back inside, and walked over to the mariachi band and Sally. Still activating the plan, Percy slung his arm around Annabeth's shoulder, using the old yawning trick.
"I'm so happy that my mom brought you here, aren't you, Bethy-Poo?" he said in a baby voice, playing along with her plan.
"I know...This is the best Christmas ever, my little Fish Boy," she said, patting his head. Percy beamed at her.
"Ah, little love birds," Sally said, a little uncomfortable.
"We need to do this next Christmas, and the one after that too! Oh, Sally, don't you think that would be magical?" Annabeth fluttered her eyes at Mrs. Jackson.
"Er, yes?" Sally bunched her eyebrows together, puzzled.
"Well, I think it will. You come up with the best ideas, my little Annie," Percy told her, tapping the tip of her nose with his finger. Annabeth giggled girlishly, which was very out of character for her.
"Does this mean we get our paycheck now?" Pepe asked, with a hopeful grin.
"Yes, yes," Sally replied, leading the whole mariachi band to the kitchen. She turned around. "Okay, kids. Stay right here, where I can see you..."
"Mo-oo-m!" Percy tried his best to look disappointed. As his mom was almost out of earshot, he yelled, "HEY, ANNABETH, WHY DON'T WE GO TO THE LIVING ROOM WHERE IT'S NICE AND ROMANTIC?"
"SURE, PERCY!" Annabeth shouted. "I THINK THE DISCO BALL LETS OFF A VERY ROMANTIC GLOW!"
"DOESN'T IT? MOM, YOU WERE SO RIGHT!" Sally offered them a confused look from the doorway, and Percy and Annabeth stifled giggles.
They made their way to the living room. Annabeth gave Percy a high-five. "Dude, this is awesome. Your mom might actually regret this..."
Percy smiled. "I can always count on an Annabeth plan."
She grinned back, just as Mrs. Jackson was at the door. Percy quickly put his arm around Annabeth again and they started smiling like idiots at each other. They pretended to just see Sally walk in.
"Oh, Sally, I was just telling your son how gorgeous his hair is!" Annabeth ran a hand through Percy's jet-black mane. "It's so lush, Percy-poo!"
"Mom, I was telling Annabeth how pretty her eyes are! In fact, they sparkle like diamonds in the dark night sky of love." Percy held his hands out high, channeling the inner poet deep inside him. Annabeth buried her face in a couch pillow to stop herself from laughing out loud.
"So, kids...I guess my idea worked, so I'll leave you two alone now." She waggled her eyebrows cheesily, and walked back into the kitchen.
Brr its cold….
It's cold out there
Once Sally was gone, the two teens burst into laughter.
"Okay, that was pretty awesome," Percy admitted.
"Did you see the look on your mom's face?" Annabeth whisper-shouted, unable to keep it in. That sent them into a another fit of giggles.
"Thanks for inviting me over. Let's just say that this has been the most interesting Christmas Eve eve ever," Annabeth said once the laughing had died down.
"No problem. Actually, you should thank my mom. She's the one that started it all," Percy joked, cracking a smile. "Hey, do you know if you can stay a little longer? I've been watching some of the Christmas specials alone. It's pretty boring, really..."
Cant you stay awhile longer baby
Well…..I really shouldn't...alright
Annabeth checked her phone. "It's only 8:30. My dad's picking me up at 9..."
Percy looked a little relieved. "Great!"
Make it worth your while baby
Ahh, do that again….
The two teens grabbed the blanket and sat down on the couch as Home Alone 2 was starting. A half hour later, Annabeth's dad came to pick her up. Sally led Frederick to the living room to find Percy and Annabeth sleeping with Annabeth's head rested on Percy's shoulder. They looked like a couple.
Sally squealed inwardly like a fangirl. In a twisted, crazy, sort of Christmas miracle kind of way, her plan had finally worked.
What do you think? Please Review!
The next chapter will be up tomorrow, (hopefully). Well, you never know with us...
