Percy Jackson's Terrible Humour

by Askinar-The-Dark

This a small series where I take a popular or funny joke and put it in context within the Percy Jackson world. Don't expect a regular update schedule, cause each chapter is a One-shot, and it's really for when I'm bored. Rated T cause I might put inappropriate jokes in here that are part of the reason I'm going to hell.

3. Chapter 3

And I'm back. As per the criteria of this series…I'm very bored.

Annabeth tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear again, before settling back into Percy's shoulder. The two of them had been lying there on the sofa of the Argo II for about an hour, and neither needed to say anything – they just enjoyed each other's company, hugging in silence.

After nearly five more minutes, Percy coughed, and Annabeth looked over. He was gazing down at her with such tenderness it made her want to coo and roll into a ball.

"What?" she asked.

Percy shrugged. "Just thinking."

The small smile on his face was contagious, and Annabeth grinned as she sat up. "About what, Seaweed Brain?"

"About how lucky we are."

Annabeth frowned. "What do you mean?"

Percy straightened up and said, "Well, we met at, what, 12? Then survived 4 years of madness, for me to suddenly get my memory wiped. But I still remember you, and after that, it's off to fight Gaia. Nico's still captured and Octavian's on the loose and everything's just crazy. But, you know…we're still here."

Percy gently brushed a finger through Annabeth's hair as she stared at her boyfriend. Where did that come from? Still, it made her smile, and she leaned in to kiss. Their lips touched, and for about a minute no one existed except them. When they broke apart, Annabeth said,

"Not everyone got messed up. Frank managed to get the girl he's been crushing on for years. Jason lost his memory and ended up with Piper. And Leo…um…"

Suddenly, a loud CRASH resonated from outside. Annabeth and Percy were on their feet, but before anything happened, Leo burst into their room. Covered in sweat, grease and wearing a mechanic's overalls, he grinned like a madman.

On his head…what the hell.

He had a small elastic strap running across his head like a crown. And every centimetre or so…a metal teaspoon was surgically attached, pointing up over his tousled hair.

"Percy! Dude!" Leo yelled. "Look…I made a spoon hat!"

Annabeth stared for a few seconds. Then, "Leo got into a happy relationship with a spoon hat. Yep."

Eh. Might be funny. Don't know. The jokes are ruined when you spend three minutes writing them. Might be funnier reading it.
