SUp persons... yeah well today was my first day back and I almost killed me! I hate S.S. enough already and to make it worse I got stuck with a new seat next to a guy who can be cool at times but the other 98% of the time he is a jerk who pisses me off to no end! Plus today we were doing a interactive activity on our computers with the person who sits next to us, while the guy I'm 'working' with was looking up lame joke online and talking to the girl that sits behind us the whole freackin time! So I moved over some with my friend Shy and her partner and did the work with them and my teacher didn't get mad about me (suprising cuz I'm purdy sure she hates me because I do anything in that class... so ya). Plus my Science teacher asigned a new project and again we have to work with the person who sits next to me, who happens to be a guy that I used to like last year and this year all we do I argue. And before she told us about the project we were already agruing and fighting over the computer. We sit right in front of her desk and while we were fighting she was behind us laughing, so I told her that she did this to us for her own evil pleasure. And later in in class we were fighting again and she told us that we fought like we were an old married couple. My friend Taylor who sit right arcoss from us, she started laughing like crazy, because she knew about my crush last year and I gave her the death look and she stopped.
But enough about my day on with it!
So you all should know by now that I don't own anything... not the books, the song, not even this computer... its my sisters.
Maddison's POV
Tonight we were having a special bonfire for the Beckendorf family. They seem pretty cool, from the like five minutes we talked to them. Their oldest Stephanie is my age and her little brother Henry is Josh's age. The two of them don't seem too bad; maybe we'll all end up as friends. But if she tries to steal Matt, she's a goner for sure.
On that happy thought, Matt, Josh, Megan, and I were on the way to the bonfire. Of course, Josh and Megan were walking together and Matt and I were walking together. The only difference was that Matt and I were holding hands and they weren't.
As we were walking I saw Stephanie and Henry headed towards the bonfire, too. So, I decided to be nice and accompany them.
The four of us walked over to them, and they looked a little surprised that we had walked over to them. So I said, "Hi! Stephanie, right?"
She nodded. "Yeah, and alright let me see if I can remember. Maddison, Josh, Matt, and… I don't believe we have met?" She asked Megan.
"I don't think so, but I'm just a camper. My names Megan, daughter of Apollo." She stuck out her hand to shake.
Henry stepped in front of his sister and grabbed her hand. "Well hello there. I'm Henry." Megan blushed while Josh looked like he was one move away from ripping his head off.
Stephanie rolled her eyes and smacked the back of her brother's head. "Lay off Henry. For one, those two are like written in the books. And two, it's just creepy!" Megan and Josh both blushed, and Megan removed her hand.
Henry rubbed the back of his head and argued, "So? That doesn't mean I can't have my shot!" Megan and Josh just blushed deeper when he said that, and Josh pulled Megan back by his hand… and didn't let go.
Stephanie rolled her eyes and smacked the back of his head again. She took a deep breath and turned back to us. "Sorry for my brother. Normally he doesn't act like this."
I laughed a little. "It's ok. I personally think it's quite funny. But if you try and do the same, you're a goner Beckendorf."
She smiled. "Well, unlike my brother here, I have respect for love and won't impose. And call me Steph."
I smiled, "Will do. So Steph, shall we continue on to the bonfire?"
She nodded. "We shall." So we started heading towards the fire.
About half way there Steph asked, "Do any of you have any idea what our dads are doing?"
I shook my head. "Not a clue. But considering my dad was the one who was mainly behind it, it can never be good."
Percy's POV
I was making sure that everything was in place for our surprise. Checking that the guys had their part memorized, asking Will if he had the music down, and finding one of his siblings to play the drums was hard work.
Finally, I was done. I made my way over to the sitting area with the guys and their spouses and planted one on Annabeth's mouth, not knowing that Maddison was sitting above with the rest of our kids. Well, I didn't know until she yelled, "Get a room dad!"
I broke the kiss and looked up at her. She was sitting next to Matt, so I decided to us this to my advantage.
I stood up and pointed my finger at her. "You just wait. One day you'll want to kiss your boyfriend-" I pointed at Matt, causing her to go red, "-and it will be sweet, sweet payback time!"
She didn't dare retort back, so I smirked and took my seat.
I turned back to Annabeth and saw that she had Sadie in her arms. So of course I had to make a joke and say, "I don't remember having this one? But she's cute, so I say we keep her."
Silena leaned over. "Well you're not keeping Sadie, but I might just have to keep little Marilyn here." She poked her in the stomach, which caused her to giggle.
I shook my head. "Oh no, I definitely remember having that one. But you're welcome to take Maddison."
"HEY!"
I smiled and yelled back, "Oh come on! You know I love you."
"Uh-huh."
Silena laughed. "You know, I always knew that you would have a way with kids."
"Strange … that's the same thing Annabeth said to me the first time she saw me with my little brother." Then I remembered that we forgot to call my mom and tell her that Marilyn was born.
"Annabeth…we kind of forgot to do something."
She handed Sadie back to Silena and said, "What did we forget to do Seaweed Brain?"
"We forgot to call and tell my mom and your dad that they have a new granddaughter," I said and a moment later panic reached her face.
"Crap your right! My dad is going to be furious and your mother will never forgive us!" She stood up and started pacing. I stood up, took Marilyn from her, and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Annabeth, they're not going to going to be angry. I promise. The worst thing that's going to happen is that they're going to be a little mad that we didn't tell them yesterday. Everything is going to be fine."
She took a deep breath. "Yeah, I guess you're right." She took a seat, and I turned to see all of the guys staring at me.
I looked at them confused. "What?"
Travis asked, "How did you do that?"
I was still confused. "Do what?"
He rolled his eyes. "How did you calm her down so easily?"
I shrugged. "Years of practice, I guess."
Nico laughed. "Yeah Perce, we've all had years of practice and we still aren't that good. I still get electrocuted every once and a while." Thalia smacked his shoulder and then gave him a kiss.
Travis, being a son of Hermes, had to try and top it saying, "Oh yeah, well one time Katie had vines tying me to a tree, and she forgot I was out there. I was out there almost all night!" Katie cracked a smile and came up behind him. She got on her knees and hugged his shoulders from the back, while pressing her body against him. She gave him a little kiss on his neck, and it seemed that he forgot what he was talking about.
Chris laughed. "Oh yeah, I've gotten a spear thrown at me… twice. Now can any of you top that?" Clarisse, unlike the rest of the girls, didn't comfort her husband; she just shrugged and leaned back.
The rest of us stayed silent as Chris smirked. "That's what I thought."
"Well, I have had a dagger thrown at me," I chipped in.
He leaned forward. "How many time?"
I held up my hand, showing three fingers.
He cursed and leaned back with Clarisse, who now gave him a kiss on the cheek.
I shook my head and sat back down by Annabeth. Silena and Beckendorf had been laughing quietly throughout the little dispute and were now laughing freely.
Silena wiped a tear from her eye and said, "I can understand that from Clarisse and Thalia, but really Katie? Unless that was before you two started dating, post war right?"
"Yeah, and it was just before we started dating."
Beckendorf shook his head. "I can't believe you two got together. Last I remember you hated each other."
Travis shrugged, "I guess it was never really hate, and that all of my pranks were to try to get her attention. I was an immature son of Hermes who didn't know how show affection towards the girl I liked, so I did it through endless pranks."
Silena squealed. "Aw that's so sweet Travis!"
He had a small smile and tried to pass the whole thing off as if it were nothing. "Yeah, yeah."
Beckendorf looked at Thalia and Nico and asked, "How did that happen? Last I remember Nico was going all over the world trying to find out about his family, acting too mature for his age, putting his master plan into action on how to save the world, and hanging around dead people more than the still breathing, while Thalia had sworn off boys and joined the Hunters. How did all that change, and you two get together?"
Nico laughed weakly and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah all that changed after the war. I started staying at camp since my dad and I got accepted more and kind of gave up on trying to discover stuff about my family, since I kept hitting dead end after dead end. And Thalia quit the Hunters after the war, and we later found out that she only joined the Hunters because she didn't want to be the prophecy child. So we both ended up staying here year round, became really close, and when everybody came back for summer we were already going out… with the help of some metaling done by Rachel."
"So you fell for your best friend?" Asked Silena.
Thalia smiled. "I guess you could say that."
Silena opened her mouth to say something, but Chiron stomped his huff and everyone looked up at him.
He smiled. "As a little treat for you all, some of our vets have a little surprise, and let me say it should be interesting to see." He turned to our side and said, "Girls, don't act too rashly." He walked off the stage as Will Solace walked up and stat down at the piano and an Apollo camper sat down at the drum set.
He looked over at me, and I nodded signaling for him to start playing and singing the opening.
NO ONES POV
(A/N When you see stuff inside the ( ) and are not Italicized that means there actions. And I think it would be helpful if you were to listen to the song while you're reading this part. Plus if there is any bold stiff that is what other people are doing)
(Percy stands up in front of Annabeth)
Percy: Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining (He moved his hand across the night sky)
Her hair, her hair (He reaches out and lays her hair in the palm of his hand and lets it go)
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Yeah
(Chris stands up and grabs Clarisse's hand)
Chris: I know, I know (With his free hand and pats his chest)
When I compliment her
She won't believe me
And it's so, it's so (He put a hand on his heart)
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she ask me do I look ok
I say
(Nico stands up, despite the protest by Thalia)
Nico: When I see your face (He puts a hand on her cheek)
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile, (He poked where he dimples are and caused them to appear along with her smile and his)
The whole world stops and stares for awhile (He withdraws his hand and moves it in front of his body)
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah
The crowd roars with cheers at Nico's singing.
(Travis gave Katie a kiss before standing to singing)
Travis: Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me (He puts a hand on his chest)
Her laugh, her laugh (He swipes a hand smoothly and gently along her jaw line causing her to giggle)
She hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say
Beckendorf: When I see your face (He stands taking her face in his hand)
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile, (He smiled at he and she returned it)
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
(Still playing and singing from the piano)
Will: The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
(All of the guys had found their way up to the stage while Will was singing)
Percy: When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are (He points out to Annabeth in the crowd and winks)
Nico: Yeah
All of the campers jump to their feet cheering. The wives stayed seated for a moment then huddled together while the boys shrugged and high fived each other.
The girls came up to the stage, walked up to their husbands, gave him a kiss, then smacked or punched their shoulder.
But one of the two Stolls' didn't want to let go, and it ended up getting rather heated.
The other girls noticed and Annabeth whisper yelled, "Katie, the plan." Well, she either didn't hear them or chose to ignore it.
This time Clarisse tried a little louder, "Katie!" Still nothing happened, so Thalia holds up her hands and says, "I got this."
Thalia walked straight up to them put a hand on each of their shoulders and shocked them. They jumped apart so fast Travis would have landed on his butt if it hadn't been for Beckendorf grabbing his elbow.
Travis looked kind of mad, but knew from experience not to lash out at Thalia, he settled for just glaring at her, while Thalia just stood there with her arms crossed waiting for Katie to do her job. She had forgotten in the heat of the moment, and didn't remember until Thalia cleared her throat and motioned her hand towards Travis.
Katie suddenly remembered, and went straight up to Travis and punched his shoulder. Travis grabbed his shoulder and just stared at his wife.
Thalia walked back over to Nico and said, "Well, I think it almost time for bed and most certainly is for the younger kids, so we'll be off now." Thalia walked away, pulling Nico by the hand and went to go pick up Lauran who was a sleep on Maddison and Matt. Annabeth thought it was cute how she was lying across the two, with lower half on Matt and upper half on Maddison, who was stroking her hair gently.
Travis had an arm around Katie's shoulder, smiled at us and said, "And we have to get the twins to bed. Plus this one… who's carrying lucky number three."
Katie elbowed him. "That's not how I thought we were going to tell them."
All of the adults stared open mouthed at the two, who just smiled at them until Silena ran forward and hugged both of them saying, "Oh my gods, that's awesome! More to love in the world! And I want to be there when he or she is born!" Katie's smile grew even wider and she started nodding franticly. "I'd be horned to have you there Silena," she said, making Silena start squealing as she pulled away.
Travis moved his arm around his wife's waist and steered her over to where the twins were talking to some campers their age.
Percy and Annabeth was the next to go saying they had to put Marilyn to bed, then Silena and Beckendorf. Clarisse and Chris went over to where the older kids were and told them to all go off to bed, and they soon followed.
TIME LAPS!
After all of the kids were put to bed the adults ended up in the Big House. The boys were in the living room area, watching sports center trying to see who was going to be in the play-offs.
Conner and Travis were jumping up and down acting like they were twelve yelling for the Rams. No one knew why they were Rams fans, till Katie came in and said that before they came to camp, they lived in St. Louis.
Most of the guys we going for the Jets or the Giants because they were from New York, and the rest wanted the Colts to be in the Super Bowl for about the third year in a row, so all of us started arguing with each other saying our team was better.
After a bit of arguing, the girls shut them up and put their opinion in.
Thalia, Annabeth, and Silena said she was for the Rams and when asked why, they looked at each other and said in unison, "Sam Bradford is hot!"
Katie, Juniper, and Clarisse disagreed saying, "Eli Manning is way better, and has more experience."
So they started arguing saying stuff like Sam Bradford already has a lock on rooky of the year, that he has more years ahead of him, and he has amazing brown eyes. The people for Eli said that he has more experience, he has been to the Super Bowl before and won, and he is way better looking than his brother, who just looks funny in their opinion.
Somehow they ended up going into the other room and talking about hot famous guys. Of course all of the guys took an ego shot on that one but got side tracked when Grover started flipping out about some commercial.
Percy's POV
Grover made sure we were all watching when the commercial played. And can any of you guess what the commercial was about? I'll give you three guesses, and no it was not about tin cans. That only leaves about one thing that it could be… enchiladas. To be more specific, Taco Bell's new Enchilada Barito or whatever it's called.
As the commercial ended, Grover was latching onto my arm trying drag me to go get one with him. I looked at the other guys in the room and shrugged. I stood up and said, "Why don't we? We're old enough to leave camp without asking Chiron or Mr. D."
They looked around at each other and shrugged. I heard a couple of 'why nots' so we started heading towards the door.
So tell me what you thing... unless you are going to be a jerk about it then, don't tell me.
Also don't you think that was just the perfict part for Travis to sing? I thought so but yeah...
I need some ideas on some good revenge that the girls could pull on the guys for just leaving. So please help me!
