Swearing in like the first three words.
This was meant to up yesterday, sorry.
Hope you guys have a great week, (summer holidays in two weeks!)
Fez.
"Get yo shit together, we're going to da beach!" Leo burst into Cabin Three, where most of the Seven (Frank and Hazel were at Camp Jupiter, seeing as they couldn't leave it alone for very long), plus Thalia, Calypso, Nico and Will hung out, most of the time.
"Yay!" Percy jumped up from where he'd been leaning on Annabeth and jumped in the air.
The rest slowly got up, trying to battle the ferocious heat.
"Whoop-de-do." Nico was in a black vest top and black jeans. The rest were in shorts and T-shirts. Will was trying to get Nico to at least roll up his trousers, but to no avail.
Leo skipped over to Calypso and linked arms with her, reaching out to grab Piper's arm.
"C'mon Nicks! To Spain!" He cried. Nico scowled at Leo and slowly stood up.
"Why am I transporting everyone?"
Leo attempted to touch Thalia and Annabeth with the same foot to try and link them all up.
"Because you can. Now go, I want ice-cream."
After a few minutes of everyone checking everyone was there and touching Nico, he closed his eyes and concentrated on taking them all to a beach they had visited briefly whilst on their break from defeating Gaia.
It was harder to control his powers in summer, less shadows meant less power. His traveling skills had improved since the transportation of the statue, and shadow-jumping 11 people was nothing compared to the Athena Parthenos.
They appeared in the slight shade of a palm tree and Leo whooped and ran straight for a small ice-cream van, leaving a smiling Calypso to wander after him, the almost non-existent breeze playing with her hair.
The remaining ten walked down to the sea edge, Percy having to drag Annabeth away from instructing little children on how to make their sandcastles sturdier.
They paused for a second making eye contact with each other before racing to get into the water, kicking shoes off and (finally, in Nico's case) rolling trousers up.
Percy ripped his shirt off, diving under the water and coming back up, spouting a stream of sea water out of his mouth. He had decided to let himself get wet, the water cooling him down. Surprisingly, no matter who your dad is, you cannot control sweat.
Thalia frowned at him, "You do realise there's whale sperm in there, right?"
Will kicked off the sea floor and floated on his back.
"Whales' penis is usually too big to fit into the female, and so 80% of the sperm does end up in the ocean. Seeing how big the whale is, it would be normal for them to have one hell of a lot of sperm."
(This is mostly right, I don't know how much doesn't end up in the female- or male, i guess whales can be gay- but it's a lot, and couple that with sewage, fish blood, mould, algae, sweat, mud, sand, fish and human puke and dead things, why the hell do we go to the seaside?)
Percy stared at them, the water spout dying down so he was half-dribbling it out.
"How do you know that?" Nico asked, from where he was, knee-deep in the shallows.
Will glanced at him sideways and smiled awkwardly.
Jason, meanwhile, was staring at Percy's chest.
"Bro?"
"Yeah?"
"You got nice abs, bro."
"You think, bro?"
Piper and Annabeth were already face-palming, Thalia watching them with one raised eyebrow.
"Are they usually like this?" She asked.
Nico's eyes grew wide with the recognition of someone who felt the same way as him. "You have no idea." He said.
"Totally, bro."
"Thanks bro!"
"No problem, bro."
Nico cringed.
There was an extra wave of water as Jason and Percy chest bumped, laughing manically.
Thalia sighed. "Well, it's never too late to join the Hunters."
