"Whats up?" I said walking down the beach to Reyna, Annabeth was out playing matchmaker for her girls, so I thought I'd go and socialise with the roman, naturally she was wearing her stone cold preator face that scared all the guys away, she was watching over her friends and legionaries with a watchful leaders eye, she was supposed to be having fun, however I did notice a sneaky glance over at Marcus' huge muscled body occasionally,
"Hello Percy" She said fairly coldly.
"Come on, go have some fun Reyna"
"I'm having fun Percy"
"Bullshit, you're sat here, no one to talk to, looking miserable and paranoid, go do something, swim, flirt, talk, anything"
"I've got to stay alert"
"Reyna, you're not a leader here, you see that girl over there, that's Sarah, she's the preator for this party, you're just the legionnaire out to have fun, the big guy over there, that's Marcus, I've seen you looking at him, go over and hit on him, guaranteed acceptance, go legionnaire Reyna"
Reyna stood up, took out her braid and let her hair flow down, granted she was definitely dressed to impress, she strolled over to Marcus sidled up real close and started flirting with him, he smiled and started flirting back.
"Percy, get your white ass over here" I heard Casey yell, I walked down towards her, Darren and Jared, standing over two people, laughing hysterically.
As I got closer it turned out they were standing over a very embarrassed looking Travis Stoll and Katie Gardner, "Now then Gardner, how about you explain to young Mr Jackson here what we just caught you doing with your darling 'not my boyfriend' Travis Stoll" Darren said in stupidly posh voice,
"I hate you all" She whined
"Now Katie, I don't think I want to know, it maybe to innocent for my little ears" I said, grinning.
"Perseus Jackson, I'm going to kill you" she said and sprinted after me down the beach, fortunately I was in the sea within seconds, and subtly got Katie drenched and dodged all her punches, then I ran and Katie gave up the chase.
"Seaweed brain?" I was hiding behind a mound of sand on the beach with Annabeth looming over me,
"sssshhhhhhh, you'll blow my cover and Katie will turn me into a tree"
"I'm not even going to ask why, hey, you think you can help me find my friends a guy?"
"Yeah, which ones?" She pointed up the beach
"That one on the right, she constantly plays pranks, steals shit, generally pisses us all of"
"Jared" I said with no hesitation "The one over there, he's average height, plays with paint grenades, a little on the weedy side, next girl?"
"Nancy" she said "she's different from how she used to be, now she's quite and withdrawn, she's funny though, sorta going a little bit goth"
I rolled over and shouted up the beach "DI ANGELO, get you depressed ass over here"
"Hold on Percy, I'm a little tied up over here" He shouted back, he was sparring with Sarah, and she was kicking his ass, then when he was distracted she threw him, and he walked over to us
"What's up?" He said, his pride wounded,
"See her over there Nico?" Annabeth said, "Go over to her and start talking to her, you'll really like her, she's a nice girl, I promise"
"Really? Do I have to?"
"Yes" Annabeth and I said in unison. He got up and walked over with a smile on his face and started talking, Nancy looked really surprised but then started talking to him and soon they were sat down on the sand flirting.
"It's nice to finally see him with someone, he actually looks reasonably happy, I was starting to think he was gay" I said, Annabeth nodded and smiled
"Next one, get that Jared kid over here"
"He won't come, she'll have to start the conversation" I explained
"Really? Isn't he just the top man" She said dryly
"No other way, call her over" She beckoned her friend over and we started explaining to her.
The party was in full flow, everyone was happy and drinking, it was starting to get dark and it was just the beginning, Marcus and Reyna were flirting, Nico was rolling around on the floor making out with a happy drunk Nancy, Jared was looking very pleased with himself and an arm around Annabeths friend, I thought I saw a jealous glance in that direction from Sarah but I wasn't sure, Katie and Travis were in Travis tent and I didn't want to know what was happening in there. I was stood happily with an arm round Annabeth a beer in the other hand and Sarah telling me a joke, naturally this was when something went very wrong.
"What's he doing here" Sarah growled standing up, I looked around to see the frame of Dan Green silhouetted against the cliffs, along with almost 50 friends, this was not good.
"Hello Percy" He grinned, "I've come for the party"
"Fuck off Green, or you're going to get hurt... badly" I growled
"But Percy, look at us, we just want to have fun"
I took in his small army, he'd blatantly prepared himself, he'd brought all the right people, Behind him stood Larisa Carter, the female boxing champion, inches taller than Sarah and packed with muscle. Ronald walker, the school quarterback was already grinning at Darren. His friend was looking at Jared and tensing his muscles. And five huge guys were all looking at Marcus as he walked up the beach, all in all there were 30 of us that would fight. It wasn't enough but it was going to have to do.
"The kind of fun you want Green isn't the kind you're going to find here, last warning, leave now."
"Oh but Percy, we're going to have fun" he swung a punch, I dodged and came up in a fighting stance as all around me hell broke loose.
Sorry for the long time to update, and the increasingly short chapters, I don't own Pjo or HoO, has anybody got recommendations on how to continue the story after the party?
