Ship ~ To support a romantic relationship
"Not that kind of ship!"
~ Stella Solarium, daughter of Aphrodite
Stella hummed slightly as she scanned the words on her script. She was clutching a pencil between two fingers in case she needed to make a script change. The crew around her were busy transforming the pavilion into what could pass off as a studio. She heard a few shouts of command in the background but didn't really pay attention. The lights were adjusted as the audience filed in. Travis Stoll rearranged a digital camera, made by the Hephaestus kids and proven to be Monster Attracting Free and made it look in Stella's direction.
"Stella," Travis's voice made her look up. He was dressed as a battery this Halloween. "You're up in five." Stella shot him a dazzling smile before checking her face for any flaws. When she was ready, she organized her script and sat up, straightening her posture and giving the camera a winning smile. Her princess costume made her look like a typical Aphrodite child. "In 5, 4, 3, 2, Go!"
Stella blinked. " Hi, I'm Stella Solarium and join me for this Halloween edition of Ships Ahoy! Today, we will be talking about one of our favourite ships to sail and all of their moments." Stella took a dramatic pause. "Before that, let's invite Leo Valdez onto the stage as our special guest." The live audience clapped as Leo walked up onto the stage with his playful smile plastered on his face. He gave the crowd a bow before sitting on the seat.
"Leo, what are you dressed up as ?" asked Stella as she observed Leo's costume.
"I'm dressed up as an elf," Leo wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. Stella grimaced.
"Anyway, what's your favourite ship ?" asked Stella, clasping her hands on the table. Leo raised an eyebrow.
"Um, the Argo II," Leo answered slowly. He blinked a couple of times.
"Not that kind of ship!" Stella shouted at him before taking a nervous breath and smiling at the camera. "I meant couple relationships." Leo's ears turned pink from embarrassment. He swallowed nervously and started tapping his leg. He discreetly mouthed at Stella that he didn't know any. Stella rolled her eyes. "My favourite couple is Percabeth. They are so perfect together, am I right ?" Her question was answered by cheers and wolf whistles.
"Percabeth is what exactly ?" Leo asked, tugging subconsciously at his elf costume shirt collar. He felt ridiculous for asking a stupid question, seeming that everyone knew who Percabeth were.
"Percabeth is the pairing name for Percy and Annabeth," Stella said, patiently. "Any more stupid questions ?" Leo shook his head. Stella looked straight at the camera. "Let's role some clips of Percabeth." There was a click and a clip opened up on a portable screen installed. The presentation started with the word 'Percabeth' inscribed on the screen in calligraphy. The song used was 'Everything About You' by One Direction.
The screen monitored a few secretly taken snapshots of Percy and Annabeth together. One showed them sparring. The next showed them in the sea. One by one those pics were shown. Some were really sweet and some were hilarious. When the clip ended, everyone clapped. Stella sighed, dreamily.
"Aren't they really sweet ?" She asked no one in particular. Leo looked around awkwardly. "Leo, what do you think about Percabeth ?"
Leo shrugged. "They're awesome, I guess..." Stella slapped the table and looked at Leo in the eyes. Her brown eyes made contact with Leo's.
"That's it ?" She asked, huffing. "That is all you have to say about them ?" With every word, she was leaning closer and closer to Leo. "They are the most perfect couple ever," Stella grabbed the front of Leo's costume. "If I ever ask you about Percabeth again, you will answer as if your life depended on it ! Understand ?" Leo nodded hurriedly. Stella let go of his shirt and sat back down, fluffing her hair as if it was another ordinary day.
"Now, for the couple news," Stella looked at a stack of paper. " Percabeth are still going strong. Recent news have that Percy has decided to be a blue banana and Annabeth decided to be an owl this Halloween. Although owls look ridiculous, sorry Lady Athena, Annabeth had mixed it up and looks stunningly gorgeous." The screen showed a photo of Annabeth in her owl get up. She was wearing a grey dress and her hands had some fabric tied to it which connected with the dress as if they were her wings.
Leo stared into space, bored. This show wasn't about him. He got the memo saying that it was called 'Ships Ahoy !' and no one said that the ships weren't his ships. He frowned as he tried to find an escape plan from this. All exits were blocked by guards, buff Ares kids. He knew there was a plan at the back of his mind but before he could grasp it, there were sounds of voices.
The camera whirled from Stella to the door as the voices got louder. The crew could make out some words. The voice sounded familiar. So, so familiar.
"Brietta, you know that we have to eat now. Chiron doesn't tolerate tardiness," Annabeth's voice could be heard loud and clear. There was some muffled responses.
"Brietta, let us through," Percy's voice entered the conversation. There were some patters of foots and some more protests broke through the air. Suddenly, the couple walked into the pavilion with a panting Brietta behind them. The two stopped mid step, looking at the scenery. Annabeth and Percy exchanged glances, knowingly.
"This is about us, isn't it ?" asked Annabeth. Everyone nodded. Percy smirked.
"Awesome, I get a show about me. Ow !" Annabeth had nudged him. He rubbed his side before whispering in her ear. "Wanna eat some place else ?" Annabeth nodded eagerly.
"Alright, we'll just get some food and be gone," Annabeth said as she and Percy made their way to the kitchen. When the camera turned back to Stella, her eyes shone with excitement.
"Connor, get a camera and follow them," Stella said, fidgeting with excitement. Connor nodded and, in his spaghetti suit, walked away to get some footage. Annabeth heard the commotion from the kitchen. She sighed.
"We get no privacy, huh ?" She asked, Percy who was scarfing down his meal. He swallowed and gave her a goofy smile.
"I'll make sure we get privacy," He winked at Annabeth, causing her to blush. Annabeth knew what he meant.
