"I'm totally winning!"
"Then why do I have the crown over my head?"
"Cuz it's charity night!"
"Watch it Jackson!"
"I will watch it...when I win!"
"In what world?"
"The...erm...I'll get back to you on that?"
"Whatever you say stupid."
Percy and Zoe were in an intense game of Just Dance 3. She was winning by 100 because Percy was getting better, that worried her. She was the champ not Percy. They were dancing to Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears. Percy only caught up to Zoe because his movements made her laugh till she cried. The stolls, Jason, Thalia, and Reyna were there and laughing at Percy and Zoe. Soon after he remembered Reyna he started remembering Thalia. Percy turned to the stolls who nodded in understanding. They stood up sneakily behind Zoe. She was dancing and accidently elbowed Travis in the stomach, he hunched over trying to regain his breath. He scooted away from her and once he recovered he nodded to Travis.
"PERCY FOR THE WIN!" they screamed in Zoe's ear and Connor flicked her while Travis pushed her away from the game.
"Come and get us star girllllll." Connor drawled tauntingly befor he started running. Without a second thought Zoe pursued the twins as she boiled with anger. The stolls were laughing heavily until Connor tripped.
"Aggh! Travis, go on without me!" Connor yelled dramatically as Zoe grabbed him and started throwing heavy punches.
"Okay!" Travis yelled just as dramatically. He then laughed as he kept running.
"That was for ditching me in black ops!" Travis yelled over his shoulder. When he turned back around he rammed into Zoe's fist. Pain erupted into his nose, so did blood. Zoe stood over him with a look of rage and a thirst for revenge.
"You think you could push ME, and get away with it?" she snarled as she took a step closer to him. Oh Percy owes me BIG time! Travis thought nervously as he tried to delay her from going back to the game.
"See what had happened was...you gotta get that dirt off ya shoulder." he sang the last part and then Zoe lunged at him.
"YES I WIN!" Percy bellowed and Zoe stopped beating up Travis when she realized she's been tricked. She ran to the living room and saw that Percy had won by a landslide. He was showing the group his victory dance.
"Ah huh! Oh ya! Go Percy! Go Percy! Who's the man? I'm the man!" he was so busy dancing that he didn't see Zoe creep up behind him. Thalia saw her, and she started chuckling. Reyna pretended not to notice, but loyal Jason began to panic.
"PERCY, RUN!" he screamed but it was to late, Zoe tackled Percy and pinned him down she glared him. He grinned impishly at her,
"Hey babe, did you see my victory dance? Did you see me cream you on on the game? Cuz I sure did." Zoe's eye twitched, he beat her by cheating and she wasn't gonna let him get away with that.
"I'm going, TO KILL YOU!" she screamed the last part and Percy paled and she began punching his stomach hard. He grunted with each punch and pain exploded into his tummy as she hit harder and harder. He looked at her furrowed eyebrows and her jaw was clenched. Has she always been this cute when she's angry?
"Your cute wh-when your angry." he said in between punches delivered by Zoe. She froze when he said this, temporarily stunned. Despite his aching stomach Percy took the advantage and flipped them so he was on top. He grinned wickedly at her and gave her a kiss on the lips.
"I win." he whispered and her face turned red. He smirked and rolled off her an layed on his back. She looked at him and smiled at him, he was clutching his stomach in pain.
"So worth it." he grumbled and Jason laughed. Reyna and Thalia rolled their eyes at him.
"Wait, where are the Stolls?" Percy asked a little bit worried for his friends. Zoe grinned fiendishly.
"Paying for their crimes for touching me."Percy's eyes widened and he bolted for the kitchen and saw Connor and Travis out cold. He picked up the bruised and bloodied Stolls and slung them over each shoulder. He walked up to his room and gently layed them onto his bed. He threw $50 bucks on each of their stomachs and covered them with his blankets.
"Maybe you guys should of left Zoe alone." Percy chuckled
"You suck Perce." Connor groaned which made Percy laugh.
"Tell me something I don't know." he walked back downstairs to see Thalia and Jason yelling at each other. Zoe was yelling at Jason as well and Reyna was standing on the couch with a frying pan raised ofer her head, poised to hit Jason. Instead of interfering with the fight he decided to watch and see what happened.
"Take back what you said moron!" Zoe snarled. Jason glowered at her,
"Take what back? That Percy's a danger magnet? I don't think I will!" He sneered and Thalia back handed him in the face. Jason recoiled and held his now bright red cheek.
"Why didn't he protect me better? If he hadn't distracted me then I wouldn't of been in the hospital." He accused and Percy felt sick, guilt began to eat away at him as he listened to more of the conversation. He remembered his dream while he was in the hospital, Jason screamed at him for not protecting him, his dream predicted this.
"Just listen to yourself, you sicken me." Thalia spat and Jason turned his glare to her.
"How can you defend him? I'm your brother, he's a cousin. Because of him I have amnesia, because of that idiot I can't remember you or Piper and it's killing her because I can't. You know she can't even stand the sight of me because I'm hurting her! All because of that fool who's getting his memories back and dancing around. Look at the Stolls, their hurt because Percy wanted to play a prank and win a video game. You know his fathers a menace, probably got it from his dad cuz he's ill bred." Percy snapped, ill bred wrapped around his mind over and over again.
Percy could feel raw fury surge through him and could feel power course through his veins. Before anyone could defend Percy, he charged at Jason and shoved him to the ground. He landed heavy blows on his face as tears ran down his cheeks. He remembered when Jason yelled at him at the ice cream shop and now this. Jason tried to defend himself but Percy was much stronger. He got off Jason and picked him up by his throat.
"You think I don't feel guilty about the crash? You think I don't internally beat myself up because of the people I affected? I said I was sorry and you claim I'm dancing around? I'm walking around with ointment covered bandages because I scream every time I don't have them on. Everyone's gushing about how I saved your sorry butt when I'm stressing and thinking of what I could of done better to save you. Now your telling me that I'm going to turn out like my father? That I'm ill bred? I know that! I know that I'm an illegitimate child as I watched my mom try to pay off debt, as I watched my father walk out of our lives. This wasn't the first time you've done this, I hate you! I can't believe I even trusted you, I can't believe you were even my friend!" He screamed as tears clouded his vision.
The dangling Jason looked down at Percy with guilt, fear, and sorrow. But Percy didn't care, he threw him onto the ground. Jason grunted and tried to sit up.
"Sorry y-you ru-ruined my life. I got angry and-"
"THAT'S IT!" Reyna yelled and smacked him hard on the head with the frying pan. Jason fell to the ground again. Despite what just happened Percy roared with laughter as did Reyna and Zoe. Thalia looked at her brother in disgust and shame which did not go unnoticed by Percy. He wrapped her in a hug and she began to cry into his shoulder.
"It's okay Thals, your a sister to me. I may never forgive Jason but I don't blame you for anything. A-am I really ill bred? Will I end up like my father?" Percy mused aloud which made Zoe grab him by his shirt and drag him down so they were eye level.
"Ever say that about yourself again I'll kill you. Jason's an idiot, well...you are too. But Jason is prideful, pitiful, and arrogant. Your strong, selfless, funny, cute, sweet, and very stupid. Ignore him, he'll never be half the man you are." Percy grinned,
"I knew there was a reason I loved you!" He teased and Zoe glared at him,
"Reyna, can I borrow that frying pan?" Percy paled, gave her a quick kiss, then ran. Zoe smirked along with Thalia and Reyna.
"They always run." Zoe shook her head. She grabbed the pan from Reyna and started to chase Percy around. Reyna frowned at Jason's unconscious body.
"I'm gonna kill that son of a-"
"Reyna!" Thalia exclaimed and Reyna rolled her eyes.
"I was gonna say gun!" She protested.
"Sure."
"Stupid mother-"
"Calm down Popeye!"
"Who the-"
"Popeye is a sailor, you cuss like a sailor."
"What in the-"
"Reyna! If this was a book, I'm sure the readers would be disgusted with your profanity!" Thalia scolded.
"They would be if you wimps ever let me finishes a sentence around here! Gods-"
"This is why you can't talk! It's always violence and cussing!" The girls continued to argue while Percy ran for his life as Zoe chased him with a frying pan. The Stolls came downstairs and grinned sadistically at the chaos.
"You help Percy and I help Thalia?" Travis asked and Connor nodded and the twins split up to add to the madness.
-NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL-
Percy walked into the school with Zoe singing Lose Yourself by Eminem.
"You better lose yourself in the music the moment you want it-" he stopped once he saw Dre smile flirtatiously at him.
"Yo Dr. Dre! We should collaborate sometime! Give me a beat!" Dre looked offended while everyone laughed at Percy's "joke." He still didn't know her name and Zoe leaned on him while she laughed and gasped for air.
"What did I say now?" Percy whined and slumped his shoulders. Zoe kissed his cheek making him perk up immediately.
"Nothing fish boy." She suddenly jumped on his back and he felt very confused.
"You are my slave now! You will give me a ride to music class." Zoe teasingly demanded.
"Yes master." He said obediently. He started running down the hall as Zoe clung to him. They started laughing and Zoe put her arms out like she was flying.
"Weeeeee!" She exclaimed and Percy chuckled at her happiness. Once at music class Percy dropped her off. They walked into the class and started learning about haikus which Apollo wasn't good at. Bring bored, Percy stared playing with Annabell's princess curls. They bounce! He thought childishly and made imaginary sounds anytime he made them bounce. Boing! Boing! He chuckled and Annabel grinned at him,
"You still play with my hair seaweed brain?" He shrugged nonchalantly,
"Sorry Annabell, their just so fun to play with. You know what a weird name is? Annabeth! It's like mashing together the names Anna and Beth." He said off handedly as Dre and Zoe stifled their laughter. Annabell's face turned red and she looked angry.
"My name is-" she was cut off by Percy.
"Hi my name is, what? My name is, who? My name-"
"My names Annabeth!" She snarled in outrage and Percy scooted by Dre who smiled smugly. He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Sorry." He grumbled and felt embarrassed and a little bad that he some how made fun of the girl's real name. Dre started playing with his arm and he scooted away back to an angry Annabeth. Oh boy, this is gonna be a long class. He thought nervously. Let's see, angry Annabeth or touchy Dre?
-LUNCH-
Percy avoided and ignored Jason during the whole lunch period. Jason tried desperately to talk to him but his attempts failed. Zoe held Percy's hand and conversed with him. Piper, Leo, Frank, and Hazel didn't understand why everyone was was being so rude to Jason, that is until Piper got angry.
"What is wrong with you guys. You keep glaring and being rude to Jason who's struggling with amnesia worse then Percy." Piper whispered fiercely so she wouldn't attract attention. Zoe, Reyna, Thalia, and the Stolls glared at Jason while Percy kept his head down. Travis and Connor were told the whole story once they saw a bruised and bloodied Jason. The Stolls felt like the mischievous Percy Jackson was family.
"You would hate him too if you heard him yelling that it was Percy's fault for the accident and that it was Percy's fault for ruining his life. Your stupid boyfriend said Percy would end up like his dad and that he's ill bred." Travis sneered and Connor looked at Percy sadly. At this point Percy had tears in his eyes.
"Then why is he still sitting here?" Leo asked through clenched teeth.
"My thoughts exactly!" Frank hissed and Hazel gave Jason a dirty look. Piper looked at Jason in disbelief.
"Is this true?" She whispered sadly. Jason glumly nodded his head. Percy couldn't take it anymore and stood up. He wouldn't let anyone get mad over him, I'm not worth it. He thought.
"I'm gonna get some air." He said and walked out of the lunch room with his hands jammed in his pockets. Zoe went after him and stopped him in the hallway.
"It's okay Perce." She whispered and he smiled warmly and felt better. He gave her a kiss,
"Perseus Jackson and Zoe Nightshade! You do know that such behavior will get you a detention correct?" Lupa asked testily. They broke apart blushing,
"See what had happened was, Zoe got bit by a rattle snake on the lip and I had to suck out the venom so she would survive." Percy said innocently and Lupa rolled her eyes.
"Seriously?"
"Ya, true story." Zoe face palmed and shook her head.
"Just run you idiot." They took off down the hall and Lupa was about to run but slipped on a banana peel and fell into a trash can. The Stolls followed Percy and Zoe while laughing.
"PERZOE FOR THE WIN!" they yelled and ran by the couple laughing.
"STOLLS, JACKSON, NIGHTSHADE!" Lupa screamed while she tried to get her butt out of the trash can. Percy groaned, this seemed to happen to him a lot. Did the Stolls just stay perzoe?
and what do you think? I apologize for spelling cliché incorrectly, hehe. Should Percy forgive Jason? Any suggestions for Annabells...er Annabeths next plot?
