Percy

"Servant! Where are my crackers?" He asked Phoebe. He was being carried by a wolf that he had claimed as his own because he could do that now. Phoebe's nostrils flared. Her face turned red and she trembled a bit. Percy should've been terrified but he was just smiling at her, waiting for her to get over it.

"Coming, you little..." She muttered.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Percy asked innocently as he put his hand to his ear.

"I meant coming..."

"You can do it," Percy urged as he tried really hard not to laugh. "Say it."

"...Master," she said through gritted teeth. Percy's smile widened.

"Awesome, so my crackers?" He clapped his hands and snapped his fingers, enjoying every minute of ordering Phoebe around. This was the best thing that had happened to him. Phoebe brought a packet of Ritz crackers. She handed it to him.

"Aren't you going to open it," Percy asked.

"You have two fucking hands!" Phoebe yelled.

"Now, now Phoebe. Hazel doesn't like when people say bad words," Percy chided her. "So open the pack, please." Phoebe muttered some more profanities while she opened the packet containing his snack.

"Jackson," Jason called out at him. Percy looked behind him and Jason came, also in a wolf, by his side.

"Hey Grace. Do you like bossing your sister around?" Percy asked.

"Heck yeah! Watch this," He called out for Thalia. "One, two, three..." He continued counting until ten. Thalia ran to Jason.

"Sorry...Master but Nico wanted me to get him his chocolate chip cookies," Thalia looked almost as mad as Phoebe.

"What? Where's Nico? He can't boss my sister around. That's my job!" Jason looked offended which made Percy laugh. Thalia looked like she was trying not to strangle her younger brother. "You know what I'd always wanted?" Jason asked to no one in particular. "Thalia, I want you to be my horse. Sitting on a wolf can really give you a wedgie."

"You can't expect me to get on all fours and carry you around?!" Thalia exclaimed.

Jason grinned, "Good idea. I was thinking just a piggyback ride but that sounds much better." Jason got off his wolf and looked at Thalia expectantly.

"You've got be kidding me," Thalia looked at Jason.

"Nope, being totally serious." Thalia slowly got on her knees and put her hands on the ground. Jason jumped on her back.

"Oof! You're heavy. Do you mind being a little more gentle?" Thalia demanded. Jason just smiled.

"That looks like fun," Percy said,

"Come on, Perce. I'll race you from here to Hazel," Jason said as he pointed at Hazel, who was bothering Nico about who knows what.

"You are on," Percy turned to Phoebe. She just stared at him.

"What?" she asked impatiently.

"Well?" He asked.

"Well what?"

"I need a human horse and I have chosen you," Percy said.

"You are not asking me what I think you're asking me," she warned.

"I'm not asking you," Percy said. Phoebe sighed from relief. "I'm telling you."

"Damn you," she said angrily, ignoring Thalia's glare and also got on all fours. Percy got on her back.

"You are heavy! Why do you have to eat so much?" she complained.

"Ready?" Jason asked. Percy nodded. "GO!" They both kicked Thalia and Phoebe on their sides, which caused them to whine. They finally got them to race to Hazel.

"Hurry up Phoebe or you'll take double turn on getting tied up if we don't win," Percy warned as he looked at Jason. Jason mirrored the same determined face.

"And Thalia, if we don't win, you're getting stuck on laundry duty again and I know how you don't like to do that," The girls went faster but in the end, they tied. Percy and Jason got off the Hunters. They both fell on their backs, breathing heavily.

"Seriously? We're not THAT heavy," Percy said.

"Speak for yourself, Jackson," Phoebe said, "You'd be squashed if you were carrying yourself."

"Hi guys," Hazel said cheerfully as she always did.

"Help me," Nico said as Hazel hugged his arm tighter.

"Aw, come on, Nico. You want to help me pick the dandelions, don't you?" she asked.

"No!" Nico answered and tried to free himself from Hazel's grip.

"Good, let's go! There's lots of dandelions over there," Hazel dragged her older brother.

"Sorry, Nico. We can't interfere with siblings," Jason explained. Nico glared at them before Hazel made him sit down on the ground where there were lots of the yellow weeds.

"I'm bored," Jason said. "We should do something fun."

"How about we find a lake and swim, unless you don't know how to," Percy said.

"Of course I know how to swim!" Jason said then turned to Thalia, "Let's find a lake so I can show Mr. Mermaid over here I can swim," He jabbed a finger at Percy.

"But shouldn't we look for the manticore?" Phoebe asked.

"Sure, but first the lake," Jason said.

"You know what, FINE! We'll take you to the Godsdamn lake!" Phoebe shouted. She stormed off to let Artemis know.

"That Phoebe has a dirty, dirty mouth," Jason said.

"Yeah, we should shove a bar of soap in her mouth while she sleeps," Percy suggested.

"Great idea," Jason high-fived Percy. Thalia just rolled her eyes.

"To the Lake!" Percy said and on they went to look for one.

Jason

Jason wasn't going to let Percy tell him he can't do something. He was Jason Grace for Zeus sakes! Jason had gotten his orange trunks on. Percy had green trunks and Nico black ones. Hazel was wearing a one-piece purple, bathing suit. They had found a nice quiet lake and the Hunters were happily relaxing, knowing the kids wouldn't be bothering them for a while.

"Alright, show me you can swim," Percy said.

"I will," Jason said and dove into the water. He had learned to swim at Camp Jupiter. He made steady strokes as he swam farther into the lake. Then suddenly a wave knocked him from his concentration. He sank down but felt the force of water under his feet shoot him up. He came out gasping for air. He saw Percy laughing.

"No fair, Jackson!" He shouted, "No water bending powers allowed!"

"Alright, no more water bending powers," Percy shouted back. Jason felt water erupt under him and he shot a few feet into the air before falling back in.

"Jackson!"

"Starting now!" Percy called back while laughing. Jason really hated Percy sometimes. Percy finally went into the water. Jason went to him.

"You are a freaking cheater, you know that right?" Jason told the son of Poseidon.

"It's not my fault I'm awesome," Percy shrugged. "Hey, are you guys coming in the water?" He asked Hazel and Nico who were just standing there.

"I'm not going in. I hate getting wet," Nico crossed his arms. Then suddenly water shot out of the lake and drenched only Nico.

"PERCY!" he screamed angrily. Jason laughed, unfortunately. Nico ran into the water and swam after them. Percy swam away easily away from Nico. He would will the water to push him forward or sometime, just for the fun of it, push Nico back. Jason saw that Hazel was still standing there. He got out of the water.

"Hey, come on Hazel. The water isn't that cold," Jason told her.

"It's not that. I can't swim," Hazel said a bit embarrassed.

"Oh," Jason scratched his head, "That is a problem." Then he had an idea. "I know what to do. Wait here." and he jumped back in and hurried off to Percy and Nico.

Percy

Percy was just having a bit of fun. He was diving in and out of the water, pulling on Nico's feet expectantly from under the water. Percy knew no one could beat him while he was in his element: water. Not even Jason was a match for him here. Percy was pushing Nico a few feet away from him when he heard Jason swimming towards him.

"Percy, I need your help," Jason said.

"What? The great Jason Grace is asking me, Percy Jackson, for help?" Percy mocked. Jason was too proud to ask Percy for anything so he knew that it must've been important.

"Well, I don't really need your help. It's Hazel. She-well come on and leave Nico alone already!" Jason scolded him.

"Fine, you are a stick in the mud sometimes," Percy let Nico go and Nico, like a bullet, swam and jumped Percy. Percy was taken by surprised that he didn't have time to react fast enough. Nico locked his arms around his neck. Percy swam, trying to get Nico off his back but Nico had an iron grip.

"Percy will you calm down for a minute," Percy hardly heard Jason. He finally managed to get Nico off him and swam back to Jason and Hazel.

"Hazel, control your violent brother," Percy complained. Nico finally got out of the water.

"Me? Violent? You're the one who started it," Nico accused, "I told you I didn't want to get wet."

"That was like, ten minutes ago, Nico. Get over it," Percy said. "So what's up with you, Haze?" he asked her.

"I...I can't swim," she said.

"That sucks," Percy said. He didn't know why Jason called him over here.

"I got an idea when Nico attacked you," Jason said. Percy glanced at Nico, who looked pretty pleased with himself. "Why don't you let Hazel ride on your back? That way, we can all be in the water."

"Alright, Haze, jump on my back," Hazel got behind him and got a hold of Percy's neck. "Alright, let's go back in the water," he declared.

"No way," Nico shook his head, "I'm done with water. I'm not going back." Sheesh, Nico had to have an attitude. Percy had the perfect solution for that.

"So you're not going back," Percy asked him. Nico nodded. Percy smiled widely and shot water at Nico, who was dripping in water. Nico glared at Percy.

"Hazel hold on!" Percy warned. He felt Hazel grip his neck a bit tighter as Percy ran into the water while an angry son of Hades and stuck up son of Jupiter went after them.

There will be a second part this on the next chapter. Until then, party hard, drink beer, do crazy sh*t and...wait, what? Forget I said anything. You heard nothing from me. I am not responsible for you following that advice I gave you, I mean what advice? I didn't say anything, I mean-I...Ugh! Forget it!
