BLOOD OF OLYMPUS SPOILERS!

Neil POV

So my friends, Mark, Ori, Quail (long story), and I were waiting to start trick-or-treating with our last friend, Percy. Leroy, Mark, and I were best friends since middle school, and Neil joined us in high school. We met Percy during orientation week, and we eventually just became a close knit group here on campus—well as close knit as you can with Percy in it. You see, Percy is an enigma, even to us. He has the looks of a teen model, and the best personality you can ask for. At first glance, you might think that he's one of those guys who goes around sleeping with chicks every night, shirks off his work, and parties every weekend, but instead he stays loyal to his girlfriend, who we still have to meet; does his homework and studies on a regular basis; and is usually playing video games or watching tv shows on the weekend. It's pretty hard to find a fault on this guy, but then again, we don't know him as well as we know each other since we've only met him earlier this year.

Anyway, we were all dressed up to go trick or treating. Mark was dressed as the 9th Doctor, Ori was dressed as the 10th Doctor, Quail was dressed as the 12th Doctor, and I was dressed as Captain Jack Harkness. As you can probably tell, we're Whovians.

We had all agreed on meeting together at 6 at the PSU, Pratty Student Union (yea, we don't know why someone would give the building that contained offices to help students such a name), so that we can go around campus. However, Percy was late, as usual, but this time, he was later than usual. Usually, he would arrive within a couple of minutes, but it's been 15 minutes since we were supposed to be here, and so we all decided to go to Percy's dorm and figure out what was taking him so long.

When we reached his dorm, his door was wide open, but his bedroom door wasn't. His roommates told us that his girlfriends staying over for the weekend (it was Friday), but they went in last night and only Percy has come out, but only for classes.

We heard Percy's voice from within, along with a female voice we assumed was his girlfriends'. After a moment of not knowing what to do, Neil decided to knock on his door. After a second, we heard Percy telling us to come in, and so we did. What we saw was him sitting on his bed and a blonde chick sitting on his bed, engrossed in some computer game.

The game reminded me of DOTA, but it didn't have the same characters as I remembered.

"What game is that?" I asked

"League of Legends," he replied (My name is Mango Protector on LOL if you want to add me as a friend; if you start playing, add Mango Protector to Refer a Friend)

"League of Legends?" asked Mark

"Yeah," said Percy, "It's kind of like DOTA, except the champions you can play are more balanced, which means that you can use any champions and they won't make as much of a difference early or late game as the DOTA champions."

"Are you both playing this?" I asked

"Yup," replied the blonde chick, "I'm Annabeth, by the way. This dunce's girlfriend."

"Hey, I'm smart, you know," replied Percy, "how else did I get into an university?"

"You're swimming skills?" she asked

"Oh please," said Percy, "You know I only swam competitively for high school, and that I denied UConn's swimming scholarship to get here."

"Yeah, I know," said Annabeth, "Now watch the river, I think Kha's coming in for a gank."

"Will do."

"Uh, guys," Leroy interrupted, "If you don't mind, but Percy agreed to go trick-or-treating with us."

"I will," he said, "as soon as I win this game and change, I swear."

Turned out that they had just started the game, and that we had to wait another half an hour for them to finish and get ready. Percy was going as the 11th Doctor, while Annabeth was going as his wife, River Song. Yeah, they're Whovians as well.

Once they got ready, we decided to hit up all the rooms in Percy's building. Unfortunately, that didn't help us get any candy, so we decided to hit up the houses near the university instead, which got us loads of candy, especially from the Whovian houses.

We were on our way back down a stretch of the road where there wasn't much light, when I felt a skeleton's hand grab my foot.

"Aah," I said. Luckily for me, my candy was still in its bag.

"What happened?" asked Quail

"I think a skeleton just grabbed my foot," I said

While my life-long friends disbelieved me, Percy and Annabeth smirked.

"You can come out now, Death Breath," he said, looking around, "As much fun you are having right now, you and I both know that only you could have pulled off the skeleton hand move."

"Damn it," said a male voice nearby, "I could never get passed you."

"That's because you're the most stereotypical member of your bloodline when it comes to Halloween," said another voice, also male

Two people appeared in front of us; one was obviously a little older than the other. Mark, Ori, Quail, and I were ready to fight if needed, while Percy simply stepped forward, and said, "Do you mind not doing this on the one part of the road where there's no light?"

"Where's the fun in that?" whined the smaller guy

"Shut up," said the taller guy, "I'd rather be in the light right now. This is giving me beyond creeps right now."

"Fine," said the smaller guy, and they both started moving in the same direction we're going, and Percy and Annabeth followed

"Aren't you guys coming?" asked Annabeth, looking back at us when she passed our still bodies

"But we don't know who these guys are," I said, "For all we know, they could be kidnappers."

"Relax," said Percy, "It's just my cousin and his boyfriend."

We weren't exactly reassured by that, but we followed them anyway. When we got to the light, we got a clear view of the two guys.

The smaller one had pale skin; had brown, near black eyes; black hair; and was dressed as Darth Vader. The taller guy had really shiny skin (not sure how he got that); blue eyes; blond hair; and was dressed as Luke Skywalker.

"So we weren't the only ones who costume coordinated," commentated Vader

"Blame it on the blondes," said Percy

"Oh, yeah, definitely," said Skywalker

Skywalker hit Vader over the head, while Annabeth punched Percy in the arm.

"What?" said Percy and Vader, "It's true."

"You know you were just as psyched for this as I was, Di Angelo," said Skywalker

"Yeah, well that was until I found out what you wanted to coordinate as," said Di Angelo, "I thought we were going to do something ironic, not Darth Vader and his son."

"This is ironic," said Skywalker

"No," said DiAngelo, "Ironic would be me dressed as an angel, while you were dressed as the sun."

"He's right you know, Will," said Percy, causing DiAngelo and Will to start to glare at each other

"Hey, butt out," said Annabeth, "its their fight."

"Well, I'd rather not fight with you," replied Percy, giving Annabeth a puppy-dog look

After a minute of DiAngelo and Will's glaring and Percy giving Annabeth the puppy-dog look, the two blondes went and kissed the one's they were staring at (aka Annabeth kissed Percy while Will kissed DiAngelo), which is basically how are Halloween with those four ended this year: with a kiss.

"Wait," said Quail, "those two are gay?"

A/N I'll give anyone a cookie if you can figure out the hidden pattern. I'll reveal the answer in the next story.
