Contentious
They stood in the doorway, partially hidden behind the frame, but visible enough to those who paid attention. Lucky for them, no one paid attention. They stood and watched the turmoil before them. The chaos created such disaster, that it seemed no life could be sustained in that environment. And yet, the saviors of Olympus, clearly alive, and obviously not immortal stood at the center of the wreckage. Their voices were shouting over each other.
The argument was unclear. But the sentiment was. The new campers just stared. They thought Percy and Annabeth were in love. They thought that together they had gone on five quests, saving each other multiple times on the way. They had heard the rumor from the year rounder's that these two were inseparable. To see such supposed love destroyed brought such melancholy to the world. Tears formed in their eyes for the once perfect couple. Best friends to the end were being torn apart in the heat of their argument. The world would never be the same. If their perfect love that inspired the rest of the world in their legacy as the saviors of Olympus was broken, where would the rest of us stand?
Just as the two newbies were about to break down in tears and cry for their mothers, Nico walked by. Dressed in his usual attire of all black, he looked as depressing as ever. But he stopped about three steps away from the door. The two newbies couldn't understand it. Why would he just stop? That made no sense. Nico was weird, but to stop and look at the arguing couple and smirk seemed weird, even for him.
"Man, those two are at it again. Wish I had what they had. Would be nice to finally make them understand what all that gooeyness does to everyone else. Ha!"
Then Nico saw the quitting sobbing newbies and asked what was wrong with them. Just then, Thalia walked by. She noticed, what was going on inside the room, which the two newbies were turned away from, and the tears in their eyes. She gave Nico a puzzled look, and exclaimed to him, "Duh Nico, Percy and Annabeth were arguing again. Man those two are so easily riled up that whenever they have a small disagreement, the whole thing blows way out of proportion, and then end like this, them making out. Uhh."
The two campers turned around to see Percy and Annabeth making out in the middle of the wreckage. Both newbies let out a sigh of relief that the perfect love story was intact. But Thalia called out for them to cut it out, so other could continue on with their day without all the PDA grossing them out, and the two broke apart smiling and blushing like to 13 year old caught making out, instead of the twenty year old they really were.

always ready to argue; quarrelsome
Author's Note: (1.2.11) Sorry I haven't been updating whoever is reading this. But I definatley will update now that I'm back from Christmas Vacation. Great break, but back to school tomorrow, I might cry. (not really) Hope you liked it. I'm not sure if it was all that good. I originally had something with three little drabbles showing how Clarisse, Annabeth and Thalia were all contentious, but I thought this was a little different from what I usually write and wanted to give it a try. Hoped you liked it, but review with feedback if you didn't. Please review 3!
