N is for Naiad


"Why won't you try it?" Percy asked. Today was the day that he was supposed to check on the Naiads. He liked talking to them, they were nice. But they always made him weave baskets with them while they gossiped. But by doing this he knew so much. Like one of the Naiads heard froma Nymph that Clarisse liked an Aphrodite boy because he was (quote on quote) 'the cutest little thing she ever saw.'

"Because I said no," Annabeth said. Percy wanted her to come and weave with him.

"Why not? Your mother was a natural weaver and I know you can. I've seen you."

"What if they don't like me?" she asked in a small voice. Percy cracked a smile.

"Please, they like everyone. I mean seriously. Do you remember Patrick?" Percy asked.

"Pickled Face Patrick? The kid who's face looked like a pickle and the guy who ate nothing but pickles?" Annabeth asked.

"Yeah him, they said he smelled good." Pickled face Patrick smelled like pickles, not something you wanna smell all the time. Annabeth gasped.

"Plus they like to gossip and I know how much you want to know about Juniper because Grover's been telling me how your trying to pry. They could tell you…" Percy bribed. Ever since Grover and Juniper got together, Annabeth has been trying to know as much as possible about her.

"Well… I guess I could come…" she said. Percy smiled a big smile.

"Great now let's get going!" he said dragging her to the lake. Once in the lake he got made a bubble form around both of them. Then all of a sudden they were surrounded by 3 Naiads.

"Percy! Is this Annabeth? She's cute." Percy blushed and nodded.

Annabeth waved to them.

"I'm Sara," the one on the left said. "I'm Cassie," the one in the middle said. "And I'm Marcy." The other said.

Soon they all sat down and began to weave and the girls started to gossip while Percy concentrated on his basket. It turns out the Annabeth and the Naiads got along very well.

"Dang girl, you are a great weaver." Marcy said complimenting on Annabeth's hands that weaved faster than they could blink.

"Oh thanks, so what was that about Juniper?" Annabeth asked. Then they launched into a conversation about Juniper and her interests, dislikes, and activities. When the day was over and plenty of baskets were made, Percy and Annabeth went back to dry land.

"Can we go back tomorrow?" Annabeth asked.

"Yeah sure, so I'm guessing you had lots of fun." Percy said.

"Oh no I didn't it's just that I wanted to know about Clarisse and this Aphrodite boy I hear she likes."
