Percy and Annabeth and Grover are on a quest just like the good old days when Percy traps a character in ice and when questioned about it answers with "I've been watching a lot of Avatar lately and thought that id try out some of the moves"

(p.s. I sorta tried to make the writing style go along with pjo era percy jackson, and I don't know if I did a good job or not, but yeah, that's what this is)

Another quest, because that's what i need more of in my life, right?

Of. Course.

We are supposed to get some enchanted flute nobody's ever heard of in, like, a bajillion years, some Athena artifact or whatever, and we run into a cyclops! And not a cool cyclops like Tyson or whatever,I mean, like, a real freakin eat your face off ground your bones into bread turn your eyeballs into jelly cyclops-

And you'll never guess what it has…

.Ding.

Thats right.

The freaking flute. Hurray.

Annabeth was leading the way, because it was her quest, her moms flute, her thing, right?

Also, she's Annabeth. She's obviously the leader of our trio when we go on quests.

She kept going going on and on about this stupid flute- how it was cursed and all that- but I wasn't really paying attention. I mean really? It's a flute, dude, who cares. I mean, I guess, like, music teachers and flute players care or something…

Anyway Grover and I were a couple yards behind her. Grover was practicing his panpipes. He had learned a new song-Blank Space by Taylor Swift. I figured it was time to start a conversation- I was getting really tired of Taylor Swift.

"Um, so… anything exciting happen at camp while I was gone?" I asked

"Yeah, Gea tried to take over the world" Grover mumbled

"Other that that, I meant"

Grover shook his head

We walked a little further, and he still didn't say anything.

"Not very talkative today, are we?" I mumbled

Grover stopped and stared at me as though I had punched him

"Well you haven't been very talkative for a few months, so it's to be expected!" Grover spat

I was dumbstruck. "My memory was erased, Grover, I couldn't have contacted you, I didn't know who you were!"

"What about on the Argo2, huh? No Iris Messages, no letters, nothing! You're my best friend, Percy, I was worried about you!"

I didn't know what to say. He was right. I should have contacted him. But I didn't. I don't even know why.

I shook my head to clear my mind "I'm sorry, man, I really am. but look: we're here now, right? Just like before- you, me, and Annabeth."

Grover mumbled something I couldn't hear and then said "Yeah, you're right"

"Guys, look, come here!" It was Annabeth's voice, but we couldn't see her. It sounded far away-

"Guys come on!"

Grover looked nervous.

that should have been a hint. He started to say something, but I didn't listen.

I ran after Annabeth, following her voice until I fell (literally I tripped on a rock and fell) into a clearing.

I found Annabeth.

Tied up over a waterfall.

Unconscious.

A cyclops sat with her back to me, humming and throwing random items into a pot.

I unsheathed riptide, making a faint "SHING" sound

The cyclops turned around to face me.

"Percy, I- oof" Grover fell at my feet- right where I had fallen before

"Oh," he mumbled, looking up.

"Percy? The Athena childs little boyfriend?"

"Let her down!"

The cyclops shook her head "No no! Athena children's brain food! Make me smart!"

"Definitely something you need" I allowed "But you're not eating my girlfriend"

The cyclops thought for a moment

"Fish brain food"

Oh no.

"You son of fish god"

"Actually," I pointed out "I'm the son of Poseidon, god of the sea? I don't think he's the god of fish… That's probably someone's else, you know? The gods are weird like that- Like one of my dads friends is the god of dolphins, and-"

"You come from Poseidon! That means you come from sea, so you are fish!"

"Um… no?"

The cyclops laughed at me, and almost grabbed me, but I jumped out of the way.

Grover didn't.

The cyclops grabbed Grover, holding him in her fist, so I did the first thing that came to mind- I froze the cyclops. I focused on the waterfall behind the cyclops, and (carefully maneuvering around annabeth) willed the water to surround the cyclops like a rope. She was stunned for a moment, trapped in the still water.

The issue was that it was… still… water. As in liquid. I had a plan. I didn't know if I could do it but…

focus…

focus...

YES!

The water turned to ice!

The cyclops squealed, waving her head around (her head and the hand that was holding grover were the only things still free)

"How did you get Annabeth?!"

"The flute! The flute! Athena childs follow it like magic!" The cyclops wailed

Michal.

One of annabeths brothers, Michael James, Went missing a couple days ago.

"Who else have you trapped with the flute?"

"Little boy! Small! Not meaty! But smart! Good brain food!"

I got dizzy, almost falling over.

Brainfood.

She ate him.

She killed and ate Annabeth's little brother who wanted to be a NASA engineer…

I covered her head with ice, effectively silencing her. She let go of grover, and I caught him with a stream of water. I cut annabeth down and we went home, grabbing the flute on the way.

We didn't talk on the way home to camp. I assumed the cyclops had informed Annabeth about Michal, and if she didn't, frankly, I didn't want to. I heard her sniffing on the way home. Or maybe that was me.

It wasn't until we were almost to camp that anybody spoke.

It was Grover.

"So… um… how did you freeze the cyclops?" Grover mumbled

"Huh?"

"What gave you the Idea?"

"Oh… uh... I've been watching a lot of Avatar lately and thought that id try out some of the moves."

Well… that… umm… that went dark. hmm… sorry about that if you wanted a funny story. Hope you enjoyed it!
