WARNING: Leo's Sexual Innuendos.
Piper
Piper can't say she wasn't excited when everyone agreed to her terms.
Secretly, she's been waiting for this moment to come. She was also hoping someone would suggest to make the game involve everyone, and voila! Someone did! So she added her little twist so that she can know more about them.
"So, who's going first?" Piper wondered, rubbing her hands in delight and excitement. No one bothered to answer her. "No suggestion? Fine. I'll guess we'll do it the traditional way. Let do it alphabetically! We'll start with Anna - "
"No" Annabeth interrupted her with an intense glare. Piper would be lying if she said that she was used to Annabeth's glare. Gods, her glare is something.
"That decision is biased. Let's go random. Piper, could you grab me a piece of paper?" Annabeth requested, which Piper hurriedly followed. No one defies Annabeth Chase, not even her best friend Piper.
When she came back, she handed Annabeth a piece of paper - a bond paper, specifically - which Annabeth immediately divided into 9 equal pieces of paper.
"I'm sorry, Piper, but could you also grab me a pencil" Annabeth requested, again.
"As you wish, your highness" Piper sighed.
"Love you" Annabeth chuckled.
"Hate you too" Piper sighed. She once again ran to her room, which was huge. Most people would love to have a huge room, but Piper hates her room. The vast space in her room bitterly reminds her that she was alone in this house, without a mom, nor a dad.
Nothing except that stuck-up mother-figure-wannabe Jane, who visits every Wednesday in order to 'keep Piper in check' or at least that's what Jane tells her father. She just wished his dad would drop by more often but she knew his job hinders him to do so.
Once she got a pencil, she went back to her circle of friends, her heart slightly filled with a pang of sadness.
When she arrived, she found her friends - except Frank, who just looked that he'd have enough - were messing around, as expected.
Leo's head was headlocked into Annabeth's arms, her eyes set in another intense glare. Jason, Hazel, and Percy were having a three-way discussion. Jason occasionally scoffed at what Percy and Hazel says. Percy simply shrugged at whatever Jason and Hazel says. Hazel rolled her eyes whenever Jason and Percy speaks. She went to the only person who could answer properly.
"Yo, Frank. What's happening?" Piper wondered. Frank groaned.
"As soon as you left, Leo told Annabeth that 'If you are you highness, does that make you Hera?' and we all know how Annabeth hates Hera" Frank paused, pointing a finger at the bickering duo.
"Don't you dare associate with that goddess!" Annabeth leered.
"I don't know about you but some people take it as a compliment when they were associated with deities" Leo struggled to get off of Annabeth.
"Associate me with any goddess like Athena but not with that foolish goddess! She already knew about Zeus' flings yet she decides to stay with him! If I were her, I would have dumped his sorry ass and take over Olympus myself!" Annabeth seethed.
"Jason, Percy, and Hazel - on the other hand - were arguing against who on the 'big three' is the best" Frank pulled Piper's focus from the bickering duo to the arguing trio.
"Oh, come on, guys! We all knew Zeus is the best! He's the king of the gods, for damn's sake!" Jason threw his arms in the air.
"Oh, please! The best is Hades! He's the ruler of the underworld! Without him, all evil souls would have been released back on Earth!" Hazel protested.
"Thanatos is the one collecting souls and keeping them locked in the underworld! If you'll ask me, Poseidon is the best! He rules the seas and oceans which compromises approximately 71% of the Earth's surface! That was a lot! Besides, we humans only discovered 5% of the seas! Who knew what else Poseidon keeps on guard!" Percy objected.
"How could we make them stop?" Piper asked.
"Just give Annabeth the pencil she asked for. I'm sure she can take things under her control. Hopefully, she doesn't stab Leo with the pencil though" Frank worried.
"Hey, Annabeth! The pencil has arrived!" Piper called.
"Finally!" Annabeth let go of Leo, who immediately checked if his head is still connected to his body. "Everyone! Let's start!" Annabeth called. Jason, Hazel, and Percy immediately paused and hurried back to their position. Annabeth wrote the numbers 1 to 7, leaving 2 blank pieces of paper. She folded them neatly into quarters before cupping them to her hands and shuffling them.
"Once I throw these pieces of paper on the floor, each one of us would grab exactly one. I'm looking at you, Leo. When I say go, we'll say what number we got, all right"
Annabeth tossed the pieces of paper to the floor and Piper hurried to grab one. She doesn't care what number she got. All she cares was that the game finally began.
-X-
When everyone said their number, the order of when they'll be asked goes as follow:
Hazel
Leo
Annabeth
Piper
Frank
Percy
Jason
"So, in what order should we ask Hazel?" Piper asked.
"Let's follow the order we would be asked. The first to ask Hazel should be Leo, followed by me, then Piper, then so on" Annabeth decided.
"Good! I'll go first!" Leo exclaimed while Hazel gulped. "Hey little Hazel! My question is: what do you prefer? Chinese sausage or Mexican chorizo?" Leo wiggled his eyebrow. Annabeth, Percy, Jason and Piper choked.
"I've never tasted any of those before but in my blind opinion, I think chinese sausage is better since, you know, it has sausage in its name" Hazel smiled.
"Hazel! You don't get the question, do you?" Jason stifled a laugh. Annabeth smacked Leo's head while Percy and Piper tried their best to act civil.
"There's a meaning behind the question? I don't get it" Hazel frowned.
"I don't get it either" Frank pouted.
"Nevermind. Next question please" Piper changed topic. She can't have their innocent mind be plagued by Leo's perverseness.
"My turn. What are your hobbies?" Annabeth asked.
"Well, I like art so I either paint or draw whenever I can. I also like to listen to music, a lot. I like to ride Arion, as well. Oh, I also like to help my mom whenever she cooks, especially when she cooks her special gumbo. I hope you guys taste it!" Hazel beamed.
"Oooh, riding Arion. Are you a good rider, Hazel?" Leo implied.
"You don't have to answer him, Hazel. Leo's turn was over" Percy piped. Piper sighed in relief.
"Okay, my turn. What do you prefer? Day or night?" Piper asked.
"What kind of question is that?!" Leo cried.
"Shut up! Like your question makes sense at all!" Piper countered.
"Your questions sound funny but I'll try to answer them with the best of my abilities" Hazel paused. "I prefer the day since I spend most of my time with my friends during the day rather at night. Also, the night scares me a bit since it's dark and creepy, especially when those insects create those weird sounds"
"Those weird sounds that you hear are mating calls, Hazel. You're actually hearing them telling other insects to fuck them" Leo shrugged.
"Well, that makes it more creepy honestly. Besides, you could have explained it more subtly" Hazel frowned.
"Anyways, Frank! It's your turn!" Piper wiggled her eyebrows at Frank, which of course earned her a deep blush.
"Uh, Hazel. Do you prefer being alone or in groups?" Fank asked.
"Lame! Now I call that one the lamest of all lame questions! I could even call you the Lame God!" Leo chortled.
"Don't mind him. That's actually a good question" Annabeth commented.
"That question's hard. There are times when I want to spend my time alone but most of the times, I get bored. On the other hand, going in groups is actually fun, especially when you create valuable memories with them" Hazel smiled.
"That's not hard but if you want something hard, I can give you what you want" Leo chuckled.
"Leonidas Valdez! Please! Enough! No more! Nadda! Nil!" Piper shrieked.
"It's fine, Piper. I actually want some challenge" Hazel chimed. Piper, Annabeth, Jason, and Percy choked. Again.
"Listen here, Hazel. Don't take every question from Leo seriously, got it? When Leo asks a question, look at me. If I give you the go signal then you may answer, all right?" Annabeth cupped Hazel's cheeks as she looked deely into Hazel's eyes.
"Uhm. Fine but - " Hazel agreed.
"No buts" Annabeth glared slightly. Hazel gulped.
"Well, it's my turn. How would you prefer to die?" Percy shrugged, his eyes set on the piece of paper he's been messing with his hands.
Piper turned her head at Percy so fast, she thought she got whiplash. That question came out of nowhere.
"Woah there, Percy! You just sound like a criminal who would kill his victim just like how the victim answers that question" Jason nervously chuckled.
Piper scanned the room and found that all of them have different reactions from what they've heard. Hazel was trying to comprehend what Percy just said. Annabeth narrowed her eyes at Percy. Her eyebrows scrunched together, as if she's trying to connect some dots. Leo's mouth fell ajar albeit slightly. Frank was obviously having a debate to whether scoot away from Percy or stay.
"Now that you said it, that sounded creepy. Let me rephrase my question" Percy paused while everyone else sighed. "Would you rather die of old age or at an early age?"
"Okay" Annabeth drawled. "I think we should end this game. Let's try some other games" Annbeth suggested.
"Aww! I want to get asked!" Leo frowned.
"No. And my decision is final" Annabeth declared.
Piper was confused.
First, Percy doesn't seem the type of person who was interested in death.
Second, Percy seemed like he was the type of person who was friendly and fun to be with. She doesn't understand where all of this is coming from.
Lastly, Piper felt that Annabeth wants to try to hide something big - something that relates Percy and his question.
And she can't help but feel shivers down her spine.
-X-
Apparently, Annabeth managed to persuade them into playing a game of 'Never have I ever'.
"Anyone who doesn't know the rules of the game?" Annabeth asked. Hazel raised her hand.
"I'm sorry but I'm quite new with this game" Hazel covered her face with her hands.
"It's fine. The game's rules are simple. Every turn, a person would ask us if we did something or not. If you are guilty of doing the deed the persons says must do some sort of consequence like drinking something. We'll decide on that later. Are there any questions?" Annabeth explained.
"I think a simple example would do, Annabeth" Jason chimed.
"Good idea" Annabeth nodded. "We'll do a quick example. Never have I ever tried to skip class" Annabeth said. Piper raised her hand, together with Jason, and Leo.
"Since Piper, Jason, and Leo raised their hands, they would have to do the punishment. Any suggestions for the punishment?" Annabeth asked.
"I know! How about the person who asked that round should give the guilty player(s) some dare" Piper's eyes beamed.
"I totally disagree with Beauty Queen over here! I've already told you once; I won't play any game with dares if Pipes is involved!" Leo cried.
"Oh, come on, Leo! Last time was an accident!" Piper countered. "Besides, that was only a suggestion. Suggest your own punishment then" Piper crossed her arms across her chest.
"Then I suggest that the guilty shall strip off parts of their clothing!" Leo grinned.
"Ew! No! That's disgusting!" Piper exclaimed.
"Disgusting? You agreed to let that be the punishment for our game earlier and here you are totally disagreeing! I don't understand you!" Leo cried.
"Unlike our earlier game, you could exploit your knowledge as your advantage in order to force someone to strip a piece of their clothing every time it's your turn. That's basically why I also disgree with that suggestion. Please understand Leo" Annabeth explained, her eyes locked into Leo's. "No more suggestions? None. Then let's vote. Anyone in favor of Leo's suggestion, raise your hand"
None raised their hand.
"Anyone in favor of Piper's suggestion, raise your hand"
All hands rose.
"Well then. It's been decided. Let our game begin!"
-X-
Hours passed and their game finally concluded.
Unlike their first game, their game of 'Never have I ever' went as smoothly as possible. Somehow, the dares given out during the game were considered tame.
Annabeth's dares were the tamest of them all since no one wants to get on her bad side. Her dares were mostly about doing something for someone like giving Leo a massage, which turned out like Leo having his back broken.
Jason has to wear a rabbit ears headband that Piper once used before throughout the game. His dares were boring, in Piper's opinion. His dares were to wear Superman's costume - which surprisingly Piper got - for the rest of the game, dance like an idiot for a minute, and mimic a girl's voice for one turn. He also got a weird dare from Leo about ignoring his 'waifus' throughout the whole game. Piper got anxious and curious at the same time. She promised to look for what these 'waifusare.
Leo's dares were contrary to Annabeth's. His dares were wild. His dares include, but not limited to, clucking like a headless chicken, singing a medley of Disney songs, talking with a poem until his next turn, and wearing one of Piper's dresses throughout the game.
Hazel surprisingly got a lot of dares as well. However, unlike Leo's, her dares were also tame. Her dares include having to talk using 1940's jargons throughout the game, act like someone from the 1940's, and to wear fake eyelashes for the rest of the game.
Frank, on the other hand, wasn't given a single dare throughout the game, which is totally BORING in Piper's opinion. It is as if he never did something wrong in his life. Someone even said 'Never have I ever forgotten to brush my teeth' and yet he claimed that he always brushes his teeth. Even Annabeth forgot to brush her teeth once in her life! Piper made it her mission to make Frank do something 'wrong'.
Percy, contrary to Frank, was given dares every single turn. If the game 'Never have I ever' is a person, that would be Percy Jackson without a doubt. Gods, this kid did almost every single thing in a rebellious kid's bucketlist. He skipped school, pranked teachers, cut of someone's hair without permission, and flip a finger at someone older than him. Heck, he even got a hold of a bottle of beer. Whether he drank it or not, Piper wasn't sure since no one tried to ask for more details.
As for Piper, her dares were somewhere in between Annabeth's and Leo's. Some were tame while some were wild. Not like she cares.
All she wanted was to have fun with her friends and live life to the fullest.
