Well hello again! I'm only going to update every once every one or two weeks…..sorry…..BUT since its Spring Break, I'm going to upload two or three chapters this week! (Including this one!)
Alright, I have to give another shout-out to Anime Princess for not only telling me that reviews don't matter, but for also giving me an awesome idea! Everybody thank this amazing person!
I'm still taking in ideas for the story and how you want the characters to act, like if you want Jason more jerky or less, Percy more heroic or less, you get the point (etc.). Also I'm taking in ideas for what YOU want the present Percy gave Annabeth is going to be. PLEASE no proposal or engagement rings! They just make it seem too mushy and too focused on their relationship when there are others that need attention!
This chapter is basically about dinner and their leave for the quest!
Hey, I've put a poll on my profile for whether you want Jiper or Jeyna since I'm really just too lazy to count all of them, so yea….
Tell me who you want for the next chapter!
This chapter is dedicated to those who actually took the time to read the long authors note above^
Disclaimer: I will never, ever, in ANY alternate universe or this one own the fabulous series, Percy Jackson, by the amazing author Rick Riordan.
Leo's P.O.V.
Leo couldn't wait till dinner.
He had used too much energy when he was cheerleader for Jason at the fight, and he still couldn't get the taste of the tofu burgers he had eaten on their quest so many months ago. Besides, he heard that the Romans made a mean burrito; well that's what the Stolls told him.
He saw the amazing Percy Jackson walk out of the infirmary, pained and agitated, and going toward the dining pavilion, Jason coming out, looking like he had walked straight out of kissing heaven, and Frank just, well, walking.
Leo still couldn't believe that Jason was beaten by Percy. Well, Percy is the Hero and Savior of Olympus, but Jason was pretty tough competition. It was hard to wrap his mind around the fact that the almighty son of Jupiter was knocked off his almighty pedestal and onto his almighty podex.
Well, Leo thought, at least he seems to be molding back to the old Jason I knew.
The dining pavilion was huge and stately, like all the buildings around here, and Leo noticed that the campers here weren't sorted into groups defined by their parentage, but by choice. He could see a lot of people moving, eating, tripping, throwing, gossiping, and punching going on all around him, it just didn't seem fair that the camp that was supposed to be stricter seemed freer.
The creepy part? Was when Percy and Jason walked in, and the entire place fell silent. They were staring at Jason, probably expecting him to explode with fury or unleash the most powerful bolt the camp had ever seen onto them, and some were gazing at Percy, thinking that he would burst into a long line of boasts or to badmouth Jason in front of everybody.
What they actually got? Both of their precious leaders laughing their heads off and tripping over a tree root. They stopped their actions when the noticed the camp not making a sound (beside the strange armpit noises in the background) and they simultaneously asked, "What?" before stumbling over another. The Roman legionaries just blinked as they watched the very people they look up to in a mess of tangles.
"Hey your foot-"
"No that's your foot."
"No it- wait, it is."
"Wow Percy. Hey your hand-AH! You aren't fighting an Earthborn ya know? There is NO need to hit my groin." (Do you guys remember Ella saying to Tyson that an Earthborn's groin is sensitive in SoN?) Jason exclaimed, his voice an octave higher than usual.
"Ooh, sorry man, wait - okay better? Now just move your podex outta my face, and we'll be good. (Sorry for saying "podex a lot, it's fun!)
Finally, they managed to get themselves untangled, though Jason's face was still strained, while Percy's looked kinda squashed.
One second…two seconds…three….after 5 seconds of gawking, all the romans, including Leo and Thalia, exploded into laughter.
Leo was crying and shaking in loud laughs, and was able to see through his eyes, blurry from the tears of laughter, Percy and Jason red in the face and smiling sheepishly, trying to glare at the others, and failing.
Jason was the first one to finally have enough and Percy was annoyed not long after. They looked at each other, had a silent conversation, and suddenly jumped onto the tables, sword and javelin out.
The awkward silence filled the area once more as they stared at them fearfully (Seriously, that Dakota kid dropped his flask of…..wine? No, Kool-Aid.)
Percy shouted in a low, threating voice, "I will personally ask the nymphs, Stolls, and dryads to help me get revenge if I need to. Thals, you know what can happen when the Stolls have one hour of free pranking."
Thalia, smoking hot, Grace paled considerably and told the Romans, "we should shut up now."
Jason and Percy smiled, and Jason announced, "Dinner will end soon, and we haven't eaten yet! I personally know what happens to Leo" he gestured to the direction Leo was in, "I he doesn't have his fill. If it comes to that, I feel sorry for the people living near the Argo II and their limbs."
This time, the many people of the camp paled since plenty of them did live near there. A couple of campers even pushed Leo into a seat, and a nymph, who inhabited a tree in a nearby forest, served him….BURRITOS! (Sorry, I am in the mood for Mexican food right now…..)
Percy and Jason came over to sit, along with Frank, and Leo commented, "I never knew two teenagers could be so scary."
They both smirked and Frank coughed, "Ego alert."
Jason glared while Percy shrugged, and dug into his burger. His coke was a peculiar (Hey, Leo can have big vocabulary if he wants to!) blue. Leo decided not to get into it, most likely some long, random story that would take too long.
Reyna appeared, and strolled toward Jason, smashing her lips to his. Before long, they were lip-locked for Zeus knows how long!
Percy looked disgusted for a guy who does the same thing.
"Oh my eyes, my perfectly innocent eyes that have seen monsters, death, and Hera as a hippie bag lady. Now I know how it feels to be one of the campers when they see Annabeth and I!"
He dramatically shielded his eyes with his hand and the two love birds glared at him before returning to their…..ah…occupation.
Frank leaned over to Leo and whispered, "I don't think we're old enough to watch that." As he saw Jason and Reyna pulling into another deeper and deeper and deeper.
Leo snickered, "You ever see Percy and Annabeth make out?"
Frank shook his head.
"Well, what you're seeing right now is PG13. When they kiss, either shield your eyes or get the hades outta there."
Reyna and Jason finally broke apart, and Reyna said, "Dinner is over. We have new information on the foe you will be facing."
Hey sorry for the super short filler chapter! Well, it's just because I have a few kinks to work out, so I will update ASAP after I figure out how the story is going to flow!
Review Answers!
Anime Princess: Well, this is an answer to both the reviews you gave me for chapters 8 and 9! Glad to know you're a Jeyna supporter! Actually managed to put up a poll on my profile since it's hard for me to count all of them, so if you want, check it out! I already thanked you for telling me that reviews don't matter, but I'll say it again….THANK YOU! I'm really not sure WHAT type of story I'm going to do next. I'm just gonna go with whatever I think is something easy and fun for me to write! ;) Thanks for the reviews!
Random Person: Yes, I will continue. It's just that I won't be doing a daily update! Nice to know your supporting Jeyna! ;) thanks for the review!
Percabethteam: Phew, I was kinda worried about the length! Though I'm sorry that this one isn't…I'll try to make the next one longer! Of COURSE Percy if the victor! It just seems wrong to have Jason win when he's younger, has less expertise, and doesn't have as much accomplishments! There's a poll on my profile for Jiper or Jeyna since I was just too lazy to count, so if you want, check it out! It's fine that you don't review often! It happens, I'm okay with it. Lol, don't worry; I'm not stopping the story. Nice puppy dog eyes by the way. ;) thanks for the review!
Hi: Thanks! I know, I'm a Jiper supporter myself, but what the people want- the people get. I have a poll on my profile now, so I'm still waiting for the results! ;) Thanks for the review!
Lucky ducky: I'm a Jiper supporter too! It's good that you respect Jeyna since there's a very likely chance that it will be Jeyna….I have a poll set up, and I'm still waiting for the results! ;) Thanks for the review!
Unicorns: Yea, they set out one the quest next chapter…like I said, I'm still working out the kinks, so that's why I didn't put that in this chapter…..and I REALLY wanted to update today, so yea. ;) Sure! I was planning to anyway, but I didn't really have a reason for them to…. ;) Thanks for the review!
mememe: This is an answer to both your reviews! Well glad to know you love it so much you put it into two reviews! ;D I know, Jason just doesn't seem worthy enough to replace Percy! Sigh….though many people like Jason, so I didn't really have a choice. What the people want-the people get. ;) Thanks for the review!
Garimap12: Thanks! Glad you think it's good, and I will keep writing! ;) Thanks for the review!
Angelwings178: ummm…I don't really understand WHY you wrote the review…but I guess I'll try to answer…..I'm okay with Jason, he just doesn't seem like someone equal to Percy. I know Percy is pretty stupid when it comes to the obvious, but if you read closer, you'll find that he's actually really observant. Besides, his plans come out okay in the end right? ;) Thanks for the review!
Well, that's that guys and gals! ;) See ya later!
