AN: I must apologise for the month long wait since chapter 27 :/ I've been very busy with other stuff although I had certainly not forgotten this fic (I've been checking pretty much every day to see how it's going). Thanks for the two new reviews since November – it's made me get up and bother writing this and the 30+ people who have followed and favourited – thanks so much! I shall be writing many more of these during the next few weeks as I have time during Christmas.
Obviously, this fanfiction will have to end eventually – and indeed it will – but not for quite a few more updates, I'm really enjoying this. When this fanfiction ends, something similar will probably go up. For now, I also have another story called 'Percy in Paris' which I shall be writing the second chapter for at some point soon. For now, however, enjoy this update that you definitely deserve after this wait:
Travis's PoV
I tumbled, buck-naked, into Percy and we fell onto the ground. My muddied fingers had latched onto his stomach as we had fallen into the (clean) grass. The other had tried snatching at something and found a piece of fabric. As Percy had stumbled and tumbled into the greenery, I had managed to pull myself upright, letting go of his belly, and taken Percy's underwear with me too.
I stood directly over his face, still in shock and still with no clothes on, my hands spread outwards to steady my balance and Percy's boxers clutched in one fist as if they were something I couldn't live without. After realising my situation, I hurriedly stepped off him, clutching at my groin and turned around to see Conner and one of the Aphrodite girls who had emerged to head down to breakfast doubled-over in laughter.
Before anyone else could join, I fled to the showers leaving Percy in the grass, a muddied patch from my hand on his stomach and, as I found out as I left the shower, without his boxers which I had 'forgotten' to drop as I hurried off.
Percy's PoV
I was stunned, still, stars flew around my vision and my arms took a while to be able to move. I lay there for a while, looking to the side at the Sun rising.
"Percy. Percy? Percy!" a voice said at my side. I looked to my left and found a girl there, stifling laughter – I wondered what the joke was, as she lifted my head up.
As the wind whipped at my hair, my mind flew back to the present. "Oh shit." I stated, covering up with my hands and running at a sprint back to my cabin where I turned and locked the door. Bloody brilliant.
I reached into the only draw with something in and took out a random pair of pants, dragging them on and, as I looked down, saw a slide of mud over my midriff. The gods weren't on my side that day.
Katie's PoV
When I woke, I found clothes dotted around the place. Percy's clothes. Some funny joke played by Travis and Conner. Perhaps, should I return them, Percy would go light on me for truth or dare that night. I gathered them all up save for an old, hole-filled t-shirt and trousers which I left in my wardrobe in case I ever needed them before taking the lot to Percy's cabin.
As I opened the door, not bothering to knock, I found Percy lying on the floor, eyes open and vacant with a brown splatter about his pink briefs. He got up as soon as I came in the room, rushing behind the cupboard to cover himself, not like I had already seen him. I gave him his clothes. "Found them in my cabin." I said briefly. I turned to the door and shut it gently. "Nice briefs." I commented as I turned to walk off, smirking.
Jason's PoV
Now, that was a bit too far, I decided. Tonight, however, I would make up for it. I was having breakfast on my table, not looking up as I knew I'd see the girls at the Aphrodite table giggling and grinning, looking in my direction and relieving the moment they had had this morning. I hoped Piper wouldn't catch wind of it – she better not.
As we all gathered in my cabin, ready for another night, I had an idea. "Hey, guys," I said, watching as they all pulled their chairs around me. "how about this. We have a scoreboard, I've got a notepad over here, every time someone successfully completes a dare, they get a point on here – first person to get to 15 gets to dare everybody else to do something and they have to do it."
"But that's not fair." Annabeth piped up. "The boys will all dare each other and us girls will be forced to strip naked or something…"
"Well then let's spin a bottle to find out who goes next."
No one seemed to have any more objections. "Conner, it was your turn to choose." I said, putting the notepad, where I had written all the names, and a pen on my desk before picking up my empty water bottle and chucking it at Conner who placed it in the middle.
"And if it lands on me?" he asked.
"Then you have to remove two pieces of clothing for being unlucky – to make it more fun." I replied before taking my seat. "Let's go."
Conner spun the bottle and I watched as it turned into a blur of colour, blue, green, blue, green, blue, green going around and around the spot in the middle and seeming to take an eternity. It began to slow down and I sucked some air in, nervous. It did a 360 one last time before settling on its target: in-between Percy and myself.
"Who's that?" he asked.
"Both of them – more fun." Smirked Travis.
"Truth or dare, you two?"
I looked at Percy. We wanted points, we needed points. I already had some ideas of what I would get them to do. "Dare." Percy replied on behalf of us both.
Conner looked around and found something that caught his interest in the corner. It was a cardboard box, but a big one, one that I thought I might need for something but found no use at all. "Get into that." He said, simply.
As we were walking over, a voice piped up behind us. "You're not really that stupid, are you? You'll suffocate you idiots!" Annabeth stood up, picked up a handful of pencils and jabbed them into the sides of the box leaving small holes to let a minimal amount of Oxygen in it. "There, one of you might survive."
I crawled in first before realising that was a mistake as Percy's hulk piled on top of me, his knee jabbing into parts it never should be. Conner put the top of the box on and, with Travis's help, taped up the sides to stop us getting out.
"Make absolutely no noise." He told us simply as the box was lifted, with much grunting, into a container that felt like a wheelbarrow. It was wheeled over the bumpy ground, each small lift bringing Percy's knee away from me and each small drop bringing Percy's knee charging into my like a sword although, rather than taking my life, trying to take away all chances of me ever becoming a father. I grunted. "Shut up." A voice told me from outside.
After many more hits and about five minutes being wheeled (I swear the Stolls were taking us on the longest, bumpiest path), we reached somewhere. I heard some noise inside but couldn't make it out. We were dumped on the ground, the wet, muddy ground that seeped in through the side, and a knock was made before the sound of two boys running away.
Both Percy and I were hot and sweaty, cramped and a little bit sick after the journey. I heard the door open and the voice of a girl saying. "Err?"
Within a few seconds, the rest of the cabin had arrived at the door to see the parcel where the first girl was now trying to move it and failing. With the help of the others, we were dragged across the carpet and placed in what I presumed was the centre, I was now on top of Percy.
"To the Aphr-oodite ca…bin, have fun!" someone read out, struggling due to dyslexia. I presumed it was a note left by the Stolls. I never thought they could write. "Is this for all of us?"
"Better now be fake make-up like last time." Someone piped up.
"Or a Spice Girl hating machine." Another said. "I don't think we should open it."
"But it might be make-up! Or some other….toys." the first girl suggested,
One of the campers drew out a pair of scissors and sliced through the tape on one side of the box. Another lifted up the other end and we, two teenage boys that wouldn't be going anywhere, came sliding out.
"Hello, boys." The first girl said, putting a finger through her hair. "Well this definitely is a gift from the gods."
AN: Well, there you are. Hope you enjoyed. The next chapter will definitely be coming out within the next few days (although, you never know, possibly in the next few hours). Make sure you review, favourite and follow! Thanks for reading!
