OOOOooooooooooOoooOOOooooOOoooOooo
Percy's POV
There is NOTHING wrong with Disneyland! It's a perfect choice!
And that's why I did something I shouldn't have done.
It was 1 am and I was positive everyone was asleep. I quickly slipped out of bed and pulled out my laptop.
In the search engine I typed in, Disneyland. I found myself on the Disneyland website and the next thing you know. I ordered and printed out 8 tickets to Disneyland for that day. Everyone's probably going to kill me when I wake them up at 6 am to get ready but whatever.
I stacked the papers and left them on the desk. Then, I grabbed a Jansport backpack and went to the small kitchen upstairs to pack some snacks and water bottles. I stuffed in a couple of towels from my room and a lot of extra change.
Satisfied with my work, I set my alarm for 6 am and crept back into bed, enthusiastic for the day to come.
…
…
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
I jumped out of bed and quickly shut off the alarm. I ran to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, took a shower, and washed my face. I slipped on a pair of jeans and a tee and exited the door to the hallway.
I silently opened all the doors. I sneaked into Nico's room and took his huge stereo system and plugged into the hallways.
I put in the Lion King tape and turned on.
"NA SEVENYAAA BABA QUE CHI BABO!" the man from the tape yelled. Inspiration credit goes to my lovely friend, Piper.
I looked into the bedrooms and was amused by everyone's expressions.
Annabeth, Piper, and Calypso bolted upright.
Thalia, with her hair all over the place, shoved the pillow over her head, moaning and groaning.
"Dude!" I turned to see Leo in his pink-colored boxers. I stifled a laugh. The girls grudgingly walked out into the hallway and quickly gasped.
"PUT ON SOME CLOTHES LEO!" they shrieked as they covered their eyes.
Leo blushed and ran into his room.
The girls opened their eyes again, sighing in relief.
Just then, Jason came out without his shirt on.
Their eyes widened and they turned around quickly. Well, except for Piper. She just stood there blushing like mad. Jason, realizing that the girls were there, swiftly turned around and ran back inside his room.
The girls turned around again. Thalia screamed into Nico's room,
"YOU BETTER HAVE SOME CLOTHES ON WHEN YOU COME OUT, DEATH BREATH!"
Nico opened the door, fully clothed, and walked out. He headed straight towards Thalia, stood right in front of her face, and started to scream.
"You don't have to yell, Pinecone face!"
"TOO BAD," she retorted.
"JUST SHUT UP THALS!" Nico commanded.
The doors to Leo and Jason's rooms suddenly opened. They casually speculated the situation and just shut their rooms again.
Calypso, Annabeth, and Piper just stood there with their arms crossed, obviously annoyed.
In other words, not my idea of a good start of the day.
"Okay, everyone just be quiet for a sec," I interjected.
Thalia and Nico kept on arguing. And arguing. And arguing. Until I had absolutely enough.
"JUST SHUT UP OKAY? BOTH OF YOU!" I screamed. They froze and turned towards me with their death glares. If I wasn't super annoyed, I would've flinched. But, unfortunately for them, I was super annoyed.
"GET OUT OF YOUR ROOMS!" I commanded Jason and Leo. Reluctantly, they came out.
"So the reason I woke you all up at 6 is because... we're all going to Disneyland today," I announced excitedly.
"WHAT?!" they shrieked in unison.
"Yup. And unless you want me to yell at all of you again, I would get ready. We leave at 7:00 am people!" I said, authoritatively. No one budged.
"Oh come on! How come when Annabeth says to get moving, everyone stops moving!" I exclaimed, exasperated.
Annabeth sighed.
"Because, Seaweed Brain! I plan ahead!" she pointed out. I ran into my room and pulled out the backpack and printed out tickets.
"You were saying?" I asked her smugly.
She rolled her eyes.
"Fine," she grumbled, "Everyone go get ready. I expect everyone in their cars by 7 am! Kapeesh?"
"Yeah," everyone reluctantly moaned as they trudged back into their rooms.
"Seriously?" I muttered to myself, "That's unfair!"
I ran down the stairs and towards the kitchen. I might as well make breakfast for everyone.
The only thing I knew how to make for breakfast were my mom's pancakes.
"Might as well," I mumbled to myself. I took out all the necessary ingredients and whisked it all together like I saw all the chefs do on TV. Then, I set a pan down on the stove and spread oil all over it and set it to high.
After that, I went to search for the secret ingredient that my mom always put in pancakes.
I rummaged through the cabinets.
Pepper. No. Salt. No. Basil. No. Dog food? When did we get a dog? Aha! Food coloring! I thought to myself.
With that, I took out the blue food dye and squeezed pretty much the whole bottle in there.
Perfect.
I whisked the blue dye and the batter until it was a nice lighter colored blue. I spooned a bit of batter and laid it carefully onto the huge pan and continued that, flipping when I knew the other side was a golden crisp on the other side.
I heard footsteps tromp down the stairs.
"Mmmm, something smells good!" I heard Calypso say.
"Did Percy get food at Ihop?" Annabeth teased. I chuckled to myself. Wait until Wise Girl sees these pancakes.
They all entered into the kitchen and peered over my shoulder to see what I was making. They gasped, probably astonished at my AWESOME pancakes.
"Pancakes anyone?" I asked them smugly, knowing they knew that it would look and taste good.
"Why are they blue?" Thalia asked.
Why are they blue?
WHY ARE THEY BLUE?!
She might as well have pierced me in the heart with a sword!
"Because my dear cousin," I began sarcastically, "Blue is like a UNIVERSAL color! You can't have too much blue of anything!"
"Whatever, Kelp Head," she muttered. She slumped down on a chair while everyone else pitched in.
Annabeth brought out the cups and set down pitchers of milk, orange juice, and water.
Piper spread the tablecloth over the table and set the placemats.
Jason got out the syrup and the butter.
Leo started whipping up some scrambled eggs to go with the pancakes.
Calypso poured water into the vase of flowers in the center of our table.
And Nico got the forks, butter knives, and napkins.
Thalia just sat there which wasn't surprising.
Once everything was ready, we all sat down at the table.
"Thanks for helping, Thals," Jason told his sister sarcastically.
"You're welcome. Somebody had to make sure everything was done correctly," Thalia retorted. Annabeth gave her a strange look and tilted her head to the side.
"That's my job," Annabeth pointed out to Thalia.
"Can we just eat?" Thalia complained. Without waiting for anyone to reply, she stuffed a pancake in her mouth.
I shrugged my shoulders and started eating along with everyone else.
"These pancakes are delicious," Piper said, sighing with pleasure.
"I think I've gone to pancake heaven," Calypso announced, smiling.
"I don't know. I'm kinda reluctant of trying these because they're blue." Annabeth had a pancake on her plate and she kept poking on it with her fork.
I rolled my eyes.
"Do you love me Wise Girl?" I asked her, earnestly.
"Yes bu-"
"Do you trust me?"
"Yes bu-"
"Then eat the dang pancake!" I commanded. She glared at me and took a small bite out of her pancake.
I saw her eyes go from a glare to a dreamy look as she chewed and swallowed the pancake. The next minute, she started scarfing down the rest of her pancake.
"This is THE best pancake I have ever tasted," she spluttered. I smirked at her.
"See?" I asked her still smirking, "Just don't eat too much or else Disneyland will suck for you."
"Mhmm," she said, still stuffing her face pancake after pancake.
"I'll bring the Pepto just in case," Piper offered, smiling.
"We might need two," Calypso added, eyeing Annabeth.
"Shut up," Annabeth told them.
They smiled.
"You love us," they chorused, happily.
"Yeah, yeah," Annabeth muttered.
I suddenly noticed something.
"Hey, Annabeth stand up for a sec," I said to her.
She stood up, weirdly.
"What?" she asked me, crossing her arms.
I gave her a once-over and can I just say that she looked stunning?
"You're wearing a dress! A- an- and makeup!" I stuttered.
"So, Seaweed Brain?" She glared at me.
"That's not what I meant to say," I stammered, "You look gorgeous."
Annabeth blushed. "Oh."
"Aww," Piper and Calypso chorused.
Leo looked at Calypso and almost choked on his food.
"Calypso. You're wearing a skirt?" He squeaked. She glared at him.
"Maybe," she sniffed.
"You look greeatt," he said. I swear I saw drool come out of his mouth.
"Piper you look amazing as always," Jason complimented his girlfriend.
"Aw thanks Sparky," she thanked him.
Thalia just grunted at all of the sappy comments and I could tell there was something wrong.
Changing the subject… Now.
"Everyone done?" I asked earnestly.
"Mhmm," they said in unison.
"Okay let's go!" I hollered as I ran outside. The cool air touched my skin and I realized I forgot a jacket. I rushed back in.
"Percy, we have time! We need to do the dishes!" Annabeth nagged, "It's only 6:40!"
"Fine," I grumbled as I walked upstairs to grab a jacket.
OOOOooooooooooOoooOOOooooOOoooOooo
Piper's POV
I closed the door behind me. According to Percy, we're going to Disneyland.
Disneyland sounds fun to me, I guess. I don't have anything wrong with it.
I walked into the closet and decided on a pair of white jeans and a red and white polka dot tanktop. I brushed my teeth and washed my face in the bathroom. I grabbed my three Minnie Mouse ears and knocked on Annabeth's door.
"Who is it?" she asked through the door.
"Piper," I responded.
"Come in!" she beckoned. I opened the door and stepped inside.
I looked at Annabeth and I raised my eyebrows.
"Trying to impress Percy?" I asked her.
"Um no…" she muttered, blushing.
She was wearing a cute red and white polka dot dress that went up to her mid-thigh. It had a small hole in the back, revealing a section of her back. Her hair was half up with a red bow in her blonde hair.
She was wearing jewlery too. Weird. Her usually bare ears had little dangly Mickey mouse earrings, her neck was outlined with a cute diamond necklace, and a gold bracelet that said Annabeth on it.
"You need help with your makeup?" I asked her as I saw her struggle with curling her eyelashes.
"Yes please," she told me. I took the eyelash curler from her hand and carefully curled them for her. Then, I applied a bit of mascara and then blush on her cheeks. I applied a goldish brown eyeshadow over her eye and put a tad bit of lip gloss on her lips to make them look bigger.
I admired my work and pulled her in front of the mirror.
"Perfect," I approved, nodding, "It's a natural look too."
"It's great Piper. Thanks!" Annabeth said, smiling.
"No problem!" I smiled back. I tossed her one of my Minnie Mouse ears and left the room.
I then went up to Calypso's door and knocked.
"Come in if you aren't Leo!" was the phrase I heard from behind the door. I shook my head with disbelief. I opened the door and Calypso was also cutely dressed too.
Hmm… maybe I should change. Nah.
Calypso was wearing a black skater skirt and a red crop top with red high top Converse. Her hair was straightened and her makeup was already done.
"You look great Calypso," I complimented her, "Do you want one of these?" I showed her the ears.
"Thanks and sure," she said. I handed it to her and glided out the door.
Hmm… Thalia's door?
"Hey Thals can I come in?" I asked her from outside her door.
"Yeah," she said from inside. I sighed in relief when I saw what she was wearing.
Black jeans, a red sweatshirt with Mickey mouse on it (I'm as surprised as you are), and black converse.
"You look nice, Thals!" I praised her.
"Thanks I guess," she said, shrugging off my compliment.
"Well, do you want these Minnie Mouse ears?" I asked her cautiously.
"I guess," she said.
"Really?!" I asked, astonished. She gave me a strange look. Which I probably deserved.
"Yeah…" Thalia said puzzled.
"Cool!" I threw her the ears and ran to my room to get my own.
"Mmm… something smells good!" I heard Calypso say. I walked outside and saw the girls. We tromped downstairs.
"Did Percy get food at Ihop?" Annabeth joked.
I smiled. This might be a fun day after all.
