Piper's P.O.V.
Somebody had the ingenious idea to watch a movie!
And when you put twelve gods with immense power and great arguing skills in one room to choose a movie, you're bound to have problems.
"Let's watch Finding Nemo!" Percy screeched. "No wait, how about The Spongebob Movie!"
"How about Antonia Gaudi?" Annabeth suggested.
Leo frowned. "Never heard of that one."
"It's about architecture," Annabeth said. "It's a documentary about the life of Antonia Gaudi, a spanish architect who lived in the late eighteen hundreds and-"
"In other words, it's a nerd movie that no one is going to want to watch?" Percy said.
"Wait, no-" was all poor Percy had time to get out before Annabeth drop-kicked him by jumping off the side of a table.
While Percy was out cold, I decided to suggest a great movie. "How about Titanic?"
"NOOOOOOOO!" Every chorused.
"Gee, thanks."
"How about Blood into Wine?" Pollux suggested.
"Blood? I like the sound of that!" Clarisse said. 'I'm with the Wine Dude!"
"The Wine Dude?"
"Okay, two votes for Blood into Wine," I said.
"Let's watch Little Shop of Horrors!" Katie yelled. "It's about a evil Venus Fly Trap."
"Well that sounds disturbing," Travis said. "How abou-"
"Travis, vote for my movie or you'll never have children," Katie said.
"Yes sir! I mean ma'am! I mean captain! I mean... yes sir!" Travis said, saluting.
Katie smirked. She turned to me and whispered. "If you ever need any help with Jason, here's my card."
She handed me an invisible card and winked.
"How about we watch Fireproof?" Leo suggested.
"I vote The Maze Runner!" Will said.
"Why that?" Leo asked.
"Well first, it's a good movie! Second it involves sun flares hitting the earth."
"Is it just me, or are our movies reflecting our godly aspects?" said Annabeth.
"Who cares?" Clarisse asked. "Who doesn't love blood!"
"How about we watch Batman?" said Nico.
"You would choose a movie about someone who dresses in black," Percy said, who apparently had regained consciousness.
"Hey Perce, how did you sleep?" Jason asked, earning a glare from Percy.
"Dude, you got drop-kicked by a girl," Leo said.
I stared at him in shock, while Katie started fuming, and Thalia, Annabeth, and Clarisse just looked downright murderous.
"Oh um.. hey guys..." in a flash, Leo was now lying on the ground unconscious.
Katie and I hadn't even moved, while the other three girls began high-fiving each other.
"What just happened?" Jason asked.
"I don't think we want to know.." Percy muttered.
"How about we watch Peter Pan? No wait... Superman! No wait... Planes! So many good movies to choose from!" Jason yelled in frustration.
"Let's watch Frozen?" Thalia said.
"What?" We all stared at her in shock, except for Leo.
"What's with the staring?" she said. "Frozen's a good movie!"
As if to prove her point, she suddenly began to hum Let it Go."
"I would've expected this from maybe Khione, but you, Thalia? Of all people?" Annabeth said. "There are some problems that can stump even the goddess of wisdom."
"So... what should we watch?" I asked.
"Let's duel over it," Jason said.
"Yeah," Percy chimed in. "And no maiming or killing," he said mimicking Chiron.
"I'm up for that," Annabeth said.
"Why not?" Nico agreed.
Will and Thalia muttered their assent.
"WOOHOO! I'M GONNA GET TO KICK PRISSY'S BUTT!" Clarisse yelled.
"Percy," Percy said through gritted teeth.
"Whatever you say, Prissy."
"Alright," I said.
"Eh... whatever," Pollux muttered.
"You are so much like your dad that it's scary," Leo said.
"When did you wake up, Sleeping Beauty?" Percy said.
Every snickered. "What's going on?" Leo asked.
"We're about to have a duel to see whose movie we're gonna watch," Annabeth said.
"Oh I am in!" Leo said, erm... yelled.
"I guess," Travis said cautiously. "But first, I need to make sure it's okay with her majesty the queen," he said sarcastically.
"Oh it's alright with me,"Katie said.
"I was talking about Nico," Travis said.
"YOU LITTLE! I WANNA FIGHT MR. I-AM-SO-COOL FIRST!" Nico screeched.
"Bring it on, Queen Nico," Travis said.
Leo snickered. "Who do I fight?"
"I'll fight you," Thalia said.
Leo paled. "Um... anyone else?"
"Sorry 'flames,' this is what you get for being sexist.
Annabeth laughed. "I'll take Will, then?"
"I call Prissy!" Clarisse boomed.
"Fine, I beat your dad once, and that was before I became a god."
Clarisse actually looked kind of doubtful. "Um... you know I might kick his butt a little too hard. Anyone else?"
"Sorry, but you're stuck with Prissy whether you like it or not," said Percy.
"I'll fight Jason," I said.
"Yeah, I'm up for that," Jason said.
"I guess that leaves Katie and me," Pollux said.
30 MINUTES LATER
Percy's P.O.V.
"First fight, Pris- I mean Percy and Clarisse! Powers are allowed!" Jason yelled.
I stepped up to the arena, armed with only Riptide. I wasn't used to the balance of my dad's trident, so I scarcely used it for combat.
Both of us were wearing full celestial bronze armor.
"Three, two, one, GO!" Piper yelled.
Neither one of us attacked.
"Um... I said go," Piper said.
Still not moving.
"GO!" she said, putting charmspeak into her voice.
That snapped me into action.
I let water surge around my legs, and immediately felt it give me extra strength.
This would be easy. We block and parried for maybe twenty minutes before it finally- abruptly- ended. I faked a thrust to her left, causing her to raise her shield in defense. I took the moment to slide between her legs, spin around, and hit her helmet with my sword.
"Well," I said. "Is someone gonna announce my victory?"
"Sorry, Jason's mouth is preoccupied at the moment," said Leo, gesturing towards the throne room, where Jason and Piper were in the middle of a heated make out session.
Nico looked deep in thought, as if contemplating the best way to interrupt them.
"Whatever, I'll do the announcing from here," I said.
"Next up: Jason vs. Piper!"
They didn't move.
I coughed into the microphone. "Please give a warm welcome to, Jason and Piper!"
"JASON AND PIPER YOU ARE FIGHTING GET YOUR SORRY BUTTS OVER HERE!" I yelled into the microphone.
That got their attention.
Jason's P.O.V.
I didn't want to brag, but beating Piper was gonna be a piece of cake.
I knew her fighting style up and down, inside out.
If only I knew what she had in store for me, would I have been more cautious.
"Three, two, one, GO!" Piper and I circled each other for a minute at the most, until she suddenly stopped and smiled at me. It was such a beautiful smile, I nearly dropped my sword.
'No Jason, she's trying to get into my head!' I thought.
"Come here you," she said, putting a ton of charmspeak into her voice and smiling seductively.
I instantly surged forward.
She leaned in to kiss me, but instead of getting a kiss, I felt a sharp pain on the top of my head, and the whole world went black.
Annabeth's P.O.V.
"And your winner is... Piper," Percy said.
We all stared open-mouthed as Piper skipped off to the winner's side, while Will dragged Jason off to the loser's side.
"Next fight: Annabeth vs. Will!" Percy exclaimed.
I went up to the arena and started strapping on my armor. I looked over and saw that Will was doing the same.
I knew better than to underestimate my oponnent. I mean, look where it got Jason? He obviously was underestimating Piper by the cocky smirk he had on his face going into the fight.
What I really needed was a good strategy, because I knew Will would be using arrows.
A plan began to form in my mind... not an amazing one, but it would work nonetheless.
No one's P.O.V.
Annabeth had beaten Will, though barely.
Thalia had (easily) defeated Leo.
Nico cursed Travis, causing Travis to attempt to marry himself. When Travis declined Travis' proposal, Travis got mad at Travis and knocked Travis out.
Katie and Pollux had had an interesting battle. In the end, Pollux wrapped vines around Katie's legs, anchoring her to the ground. He finally knocked her out, and Katie joined the loser's.
In the second round, Thalia fought Nico, and it was a great fight. Thalia won in the end, but only because Nico was drained of energy from cursing Travis. He still put up a good fight.
Then, Prissy- I mean Percy- defeated Annabeth just barely! Annabeth had an amazing strategy, but she overlooked one minor detail: a pebble. She stepped on it at the last second, and it slipped across the marble-arena floor, taking poor Annabeth to the ground, where Percy finished the job. Also, Leo has informed me to tell you that a new Percy and Annabeth Show special will be premiering tonight, entitle 'Duelling to the Death.'
The Piper-Pollux fight was even longer. Pollux did his best to resist Piper's charmspeaking, but in the end, it was just too much. Pollux ended up knocking himself out because he was told to by Piper.
The third round was a madhouse free-for-all with Piper, Percy, and Thalia.
This is how the third round went down: (see what I did there?)
Third-person P.O.V.
"Alright, the last round will be a free-for-all!" Jason, who was finally awake again, exclaimed. "Thalia vs. Percy vs. Piper."
Right before the match, Thalia and Piper had a secret meeting.
"Let's take out Percy before we fight each other," Thalia said.
"Agreed," Piper replied.
"Three, two, one, GO!" Jason yelled.
"GIRL POWER!" Piper and Thalia both yelled, and charged Percy.
Percy was expecting this, so he easily side-stepped them and knocked out Thalia.
"Wow. That was easier than I thought..." Percy muttered.
Everyone stared in shock as Thalia lay on the ground, so easily knocked out.
Percy looked at his sword in surprise. "I meant to do that!" he exclaimed.
Piper almost immediately began to charmspeak. "Hey you, why don't you come over here and get a kiss?" she said.
Percy pretended to walk over to her and lean in.
As Piper came overhead with her dagger for the finishing blow, Percy parried it and got a perfect disarming shot.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Ms. McLean. Surrender, and I won't knock you out."
Piper kept laying on the charmspeak, but Percy knew her tricks.
"Fine, have it your way." In one swift motion, he struck her helmet, and Piper crumpled to the ground.
"Your new winner, Percy Jackson!" Jason said.
"And, for the record, we'll be watching The Spongebob Movie," Percy said, grinning.
Percy's P.O.V.
Annabeth curled up next to me as we started the movie.
"Nice fighting, Perce."
I frowned. "Since when do you compliment me?" I asked.
"Don't get used to it, Seaweed Brain."
I grinned. "Wait, someone record this. Annabeth Chase just complimented me!"
"Shut up," she said.
"Yes ma'am!"
In the middle of the movie, when Spongebob and Patrick were trying to get their car back, Annabeth fell asleep on my shoulder.
"Awwwwww..." I heard Piper say. "You guys are so cute together!"
I blushed. "Well... erm.."
Leo snickered.
"What's so funny?" I asked him.
"Well she never said that when you guys did it on the Argo II!"
"We didn't do it! For the last time, we just fell asleep!"
"Mhm, sure your did," Jason said.
"I would never disgrace Annabeth like that! Unless we were married. But I wouldn't be disgracing her if we were married! And... only if s-she-I mean... w-we want to!" I felt my face getting hot. What am I saying?
Suddenly, I felt someone kiss my cheek.
"That was really sweet, Seaweed Brain."
My face got even more red. (assuming that was even possible) "Oh... h-hi, Wise Girl... how long have you been awake?"
"Long enough to hear that speech you gave."
"Oh..."
She leaned up and kissed my lips.
"Get a room!" Thalia, Will, and Pollux all yelled at the same time.
I grinned and carried Annabeth into the hallway.
So... new longest chapter... yay me? Sorry for not updating in a while... it's been maybe a week. I dunno. I forgot.
And I also skipped most of the fight scenes, or else you would've been bored out of your mind.
Anyway, review!
