Anyways, it's so awesome everyone! I can't give detai9ls because of Military Secrecy but each school should definitely have one.
Nix Readaholic 17: SEND ME SOME OF YOUR FANFICS!
-:xXOXx:-
Leo stomped through the Hephaestus Cabin. A great cry was heard from the Athena Cabin as Annabeth threw book after book at Malcolm.
The Hephaestus Kids all stepped back. It had been like that for seven days. Whenever Leo stomps inside, they step back. Harvey tried to approach him on the second day and almost got offered to their dad.
He took out his Celestial Bronze Hammer and threw it to a pile of dog automatons, which held so much resemblance to Reyna's dogs. He stopped. Stop thinking about her! He berated himself.
"DON'T YOU HAVE IMAGINATION? THESE DOGS ARE LIKE THOSE OF THE ROMAN'S! MAKE ANOTHER ONE. AND THEY BETTER NOT HAVE SILVER OR GOLD IN THEM!" He yelled. The dogs turned to puddle as Leo's fire bolt hit them.
"Um…Leo?" Jake tried. He had been healed by Apollo himself and had regained full motor skills.
"WHAT?" Leo growled. He had been in the worst mood ever. Simply because, Annabeth had called his baby crib that feeds, changes, cares, plays, entertains, rocks and cooes the baby too Hephaestus. They had ended up in a screaming match with him calling her a hag and a bitch while she called him stupid and worthless.
The crib had ultimately turned to puddle and Thalia had to come out of her cabin just to stop the fight. The good thing was that they had dragged Thalia out of her crying corner. It had been their first time to see her since they landed back in Camp Half Blood. She had wished for her food and didn't talk even to Annabeth.
Percy was called by Poseidon by a tsunami two days ago. Luke had been in the Hermes Cabin playing video games that he had missed and could only be seen when eating. Drew was smiling smugly at all of them. Piper had lost to her in a Charmspeak competition and is now crying again. She had been crying ever since and the potency of her Charmspeak had worsened. Aphrodite had explained that her children's weakness are heartbreak and ugliness.
Camp Half Blood was as morose. They had made friends and some even love interests in Camp Jupiter. Chiron was trudging softly on the beach when Zeus transported h im to Olympus with a single storm.
The Hermes Cabin could've played pranks, steal things and wreak havoc but the were also downtrodden. Their great leader had been sulking and when Luke sulks, all pranks don't work, the things they steal turns to stone and overall, they mess up.
Only the Ares Cabin was moving. They were taking out their anger and sadness on each other. They had found the best playmate: Hannibal. Both liked to play rough and could beat the other up.
To say the least, Camp Half Blood was downtrodden. Just then a rainbow appeared and Percy's face appeared.
"GREEK FORMATION!" He yelled. There was a 10-minute wait and all the Greeks formed in front of him.
"Percy Jackson you better get back here!" Annabeth yelled.
"There was a thunderous crash of waves and Percy came out.
"PERSEUS JACKSON YOU BETTER TAKE ME OUT OR ELSE…" Annabeth let the threat hang but she whipped out her dagger for good measure.
"Of course…" Percy said. He saw the gloomy looks of all the Greeks and he sighed sadly. He knew that the Romans' absence would make Camp Half Blood morose.
"THAT'S IT! WAR GAMES IN TWO HOURS! APHRODITE, POSEIDON, ATHENA, HERMES, APOLLO and HECATE vs. the rest. Hephaestus and Hermes are the leaders! NOW GO!"
There was some murmuring in the crowd. Percy scratched his head. Not even an Ares kid cheered or cracked a smile.
"Never mind," he said. "Away except for Valdez, Mclean, Grace, Castellan, and oh yeah…we don't have di Angelo here." Percy scratched his head.
A sob was heard.
"ARE YOU THAT STUPID?" Annabeth yelled whacking him on the head, upon hearing Thalia sob.
"Sorry?" Percy asked.
"Ugh! I just hope you learn how to be sensitive when she gets out!" Annabeth said.
Percy furrowed his brow. "She?"
"Yeah! It's just a mother's intuition but I know that she's a girl. And when have I been wrong?" Annabeth smirked.
Just then Percy's face turned serious. "He is going to come out in 8 months. We need to talk." Percy said seriously.
Annabeth took a step back. She put her right hand to her mouth while her left to her stomach. "A-a-are you going to break up with me?" Annabeth sobbed uncontrollably. She fell to the ground. Luke and Thalia immediately ran to her.
"NO!" Percy yelled kneeling in front of her.
"D-d-don't yell a-a-t me!" Annabeth yelled, crying hard on her hands.
Percy scratched his head. "I'm not yelling. I was just surprised that you would suggest that."
"Now you're blaming me that I wanted to break up!" Annabeth cried on Leo's chest, gripping his shirt tight.
Leo looked at Percy in desperation. He did not like to wash off snot and mucus from his shirt, thank you very much.
"ARGH!" Percy threw his hands up in frustration.
"STOP YELLING AT ME! You hate me. Just say it. You want to break up! You'd probably go out with Rachel! She's rich, beautiful and not pregnant! You know what? Let's just break up as you so want!" Annabeth yelled.
"Annabeth Chase. I GIVE UP! I don't want to be known as Annabeth Chase's boyfriend anymore!" Percy smirked.
"SEE! We are over Perseus Jackson." Annabeth cried. She ran away. Luke and Leo both punched him hard on the face.
"I WASN'T FINISHED! I was going to do this later but Annabeth Chase, I'm tired of being your boyfriend. Will you marry me?" Percy yelled dodging Luke's second punch.
Annabeth stopped in her tracks. "W-what?"
Everyone was staring wide-eyed as Percy began to shuffle through his pockets. "SHIT!" he whispered.
"Y-yes." Annabeth squealed in delight, running to Percy in a flash.
Percy looked at the crowd then to his girlfriend who was looking expectantly at him.
"I lost the ring." Percy slumped back.
There was a moment of silence before thunderous laughter boomed. "Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth laughed. Leo scratched his head. "Eh?" he asked. Thalia raised her eyebrows. Piper sniffed. Luke threw his head back in laughter "Only you Perseus Jackson would propose in a fight then lose the ring."
Percy blushed as the laughter continued.
"Only you." Annabeth repeated before pulling Percy by his shirt. The crowd wolf-whistled and cheered. Percy blushed before he was judo-flipped by Annabeth.
Everyone burst into cheers. Travis and Connor jumped up and down while the Aphrodite cabin all squealed and shrieked at the cuteness and romance while the Athena cabin snorted at the stupidity of their cousins.
"Now we need to talk." Annabeth said seriously, regaining her former bossiness into her voice.
"That was what I was telling you." Percy said weakly.
"You were?" Annabeth asked blinking innocently.
"I WAS!" Percy yelled.
"Don't yell at me!" Annabeth cried, whacking him on the head.
"We are so not going through this conversation again." Percy groaned.
"Hey what's that?" Luke asked pointing to an object in the sky.
"A purple plane?" Leo asked.
"A purple SUPERMAN!" Piper tried. Everyone looked at her in confusion, humour and disgust. "Couldn't resist." she added.
"That's a…purple bird." Thalia finished lamely.
"That's a Roman eagle!" Annabeth cried shocking everyone.
"Why would they even send a Roman eagle?" Leo asked. His eyes and nose flared. His hair turned orange as it burned. Flames danced around his fingertips and small sparks came out of his nose.
A Roman eagle was used only for training and to send messages. Leo doubted that it was the latter.
The eagle stopped in front of Percy and Annabeth. It squawked in their face, dropping a scroll with a Roman seal.
"Confidential." he said as the others tried to peer inside. His eyes darted back and forth as he absorbed the letter, his smile growing larger and larger every line.
"You're no fun!" Luke pouted.
Percy just stuck his tongue out immaturely. He gave Annabeth the letter. The blonde's eyes widened and she squealed. She jumped up and down.
"CAMP HALF BLOOD FORMATIOOOOOOOOOOON!" Annabeth yelled.
There were some scuffling as the Greeks fell in line. "Camp Half Blood. The Romans are coming here as part of their field trip. You should let them see the hospitality that they have shown us. Are we clear?" Percy yelled.
"YEAH!" The Greeks yelled. Percy smirked. He glanced at his flaming and thundering best friend, respectively.
There was a torrential downpour, soaking every one of them in happiness and rain. Then waves of heat dried them off. And then their clothes turned darker orange, thanks to Piper.
"That was an amazing show of power guys." Percy said awkwardly as the two began to look scared. Leo ran to the Aphrodite Cabin and immediately took Drew by the arm.
"Go out with me." he said forcefully.
"I knew you would see reas-" Drew never finished her sentence as Leo's mouth descended on her.
Thalia looked at Leo and rolled her eyes. She inhaled hard and exhaled. She stood up straight, fixed her hair and walked to Luke with dignity.
"Thalia wha-" Luke also never finished as Thalia pulled him by the shirt.
Piper just smirked and snapped her fingers, changing her jeans into a short, black plaited skirt and her Converse into black stilettos.
CAMP JUPITER ARRIVING!" Reyna's voice boomed across them.
"Camp Half Blood is glad to host you." Percy said awkwardly as the two Praetor's eyes glared at the people behind him.
"Oh hi!" Leo said coldly as Reyna's eyes met his. Stormy grey met chocolate brown.
"I see that you've moved on." Reyna said coldly. Her hand intertwined with Jason's, who was glaring at Piper, who was flirting with Jake.
"I did."
"Hi Nico!" Annabeth said cheerfully trying to distract the young boy from glaring at Thalia and Luke's intertwined hands.
