(A/N Zoe and Bianca are still alive because i want them to be.)
Percy sighed as he cleaned yet another piece of clothes of one of the hunters. When Percy said he wanted a quest or something to do in front of the council of Olympus, he never thought he would be stuck as a protector of the Artemis's hunt.
And to make matters worse, Artemis was in a bad mood these past days so she gave the hunters the green light to prank the shit out of him and make him do extra chores.
Right now his schedule for a day consisted of. Wake Up. Make Breakfast. Clean Clothes. Sharpen Arrows. Make Lunch. Get Pranked. Learn Archery. Get Pranked. Make Dinner.
So in conclusion a living hell on Earth for Percy. Oh he was going to get them back good, REAL Good. Hestia noticed that Percy was being treated unfairly and thought of a plan.
She blessed him with her power to make food appear out of air and have him eat Artemis's favorite foods infront of her and the entire hunt. He grinned he couldn't wait for Lunch Time.
For now though he had to clean their clothes. He made sure never to touch their under garments because he had no desire to be target practice for the hunters, so instead he would just use his control over the sea to blast them with water until they were deemed clean enough.
It was 45 minuets later that Percy had finally completed cleaning all their clothes. He sighed and picked up the basket and started walking carefully to Artemis's tent.
He arrived there 10 minuets later due to his speed, or rather lack of. He carefully put the clothes down and hurried out of the area so no Hunters could prank him for the day.
Percy had dashed himself to the eating table where the Hunters would dine, and he grinned internally. Oh how he would torture them by eating the food they so loved slowly and making sure to drag out every action.
Percy sighed and went over to the table where the hunters would come and order their foods. He waited and waited until the hunters came and started ordering their foods.
One by one he served each and every hunter, and also Artemis. He watched as they gave him vicious grin's thinking they had tired him out and he couldn't make some food for himself.
Percy shot them a smile and walked to the end of the table, since he wasn't allowed to dine with the rest of them. He saw them watch him expectantly.
Percy clapped his hand and thought of the the food he wanted to eat, and there in all its glory was the dish he had wished for. A plate of Spaghetti and lasagna. On a separate plate was chocolate chip cookies and a glass of coke.
He turned to them and smiled at the their jaw drop expressions. He picked up the fork and started eating it slowly making sure they were watching his every move. He slowly chewed it and made sure to exaggerate the flavor of it.
"How'd you do that!" A hunter demanded. Percy turned to her and smiled, he didn't answer her immediately, instead he put a cookie in his mouth and chewed it and swallowed.
"A gift from Lady Hestia." Percy told them with a smile, enjoying the envious looks he was getting from hunters and Artemis. Percy knew he wasn't gonna last long, he was never the type of guy to make people feel jealous, he was just too soft.
Percy's will finally crumbled when a 8 year old, one of the new hunters came with her big brown eyes and black hair came up to him with pleading eyes. "Umm.. Can i have a cookie?" She asked him cutely.
Percy smiled at her and patted the spot next to him, the girl smiled and sat down next to him. Percy grabbed 2 cookies and gave them to the girl. She took them excitedly and started to eat them quickly.
Percy went back to his lunch and ignored the other looks. He could tell part of them wanted to swallow their pride, and ask for a treat as well, while another part felt guilty about asking after how they treated him, the biggest part though was not wanting to disappoint their mistress by caving in, and asking a man for something.
It wasn't until Artemis stood up, and walked over, that everyone snapped out of their thoughts. Standing in front of him, she had transformed into her twenty year old form. "I'd like some lasagna." She said, in a slightly demanding tone.
"Nope." Percy said plainly, before going back to his meal.
Artemis looked almost offended. "Why not?" She asked in a huffed tone.
"I'm not good with demands." Percy replied.
In a childish act, she grabbed his plate and flipped it into his face. Lasagna covered his face, as cookies, and rolls fell to the floor. Artemis smirked, as the hunters giggled. "Oh so that's how it's gonna be." Percy grinned, as he summoned a mid sized birthday cake.
Artemis paled slightly, as she took a step back. "Now Percy, let's not be hasty. Don't do anything you'll regret." The Goddess stammered.
"Oh I won't regret this." Percy grinned, as he hurled the cake, nailing her in the face.
Artemis stepped back, and wiped the cake from her eyes. Her face red in anger, how dare this man do that to her. Summoning her bow, she knocked an arrow. "Run Jackson." Was her only warning.
Percy ran as Artemis tried to shoot if, luckily for him he was pretty quick on his feet. Artemis was behind him screaming bloody murder and trying to kill him, while Zoe, Thalia and Bianca were trying to calm her down, which was wasn't going so well. Looks like Percy wounded her pride too much.
Artemis finally caught up with him and still in her 20 year old form had tackled him to the ground, she was about to punch him when he brought out his secret weapon. A weapon that could demolish even the gods, one that only he possessed. The Puppy eyes.
Artemis's will faltered when he used them but was still trying desperately. Percy added some affect to it by willing some tears to form in his eyes. Artemis's will finally crumbled and she got off him grumbling.
He gave her a grin when she got off and in response got a glare, so as a way to thank her he summoned her his favorite food. That of course set off the other hunters and he had to summon them their favorite food.
It was this day that Percy finally felt accepted by the Hunters, they had talked with him and one of the daughters of Aphrodite had started to flirt with him, which set off Bianca and Thalia while Zoe had glared at her. Artemis for her part seemed annoyed with her.
Percy himself was uncomfortable but eventually came around and flirted back with her.
That night Percy went to bed with a smile on his face.
