I don't own PJO.
I Ride the Lightning.
I tore off my shirt for dramatic effect, and ran down the street where Annabeth and Rachel left. I was arguing in my head. There were diffidently more featured to like about Rachel… but I knew it would be bad for me to go out with a mortal… and Annabeth has been my friend for years. I knew Annabeth was that special someone. I just saw them turn a corner, and I charged after them. They saw me turn the corner. I sprinted up to Annabeth, looked her right in the eyes, and put our mouths together. Boy this was awkward… but I didn't care… it felt like the whole world was lighting up around me. It felt so good, we just kept going. Rachel watched with her mouth hung open. She looked hurt for a second… then a look of understanding spread across her face.
"I knew it should have been you two…" Then she smiled and said,
"Let's go continue this awesome party…" And so we did. We JUST managed to catch up to Thalia and Grover… and I explained why my shirt was off and Annabeth and I were holding hands. And together we headed back to my place.
Last year I saved every penny I earned to buy a game called guitar hero3. I managed to finally get it… but after I beet it on easy I never really played it anymore. I got two guitars in case I wanted to play with a friend. I decided that now was a good time to play. We walked into the destroyed house I called home… and I dug in the closet for the game. The closet… good memories… I finally dug it out, and began messing with a thousand different wires. I managed to plug it all together.
"OK… We are going to play guitar hero, and have two player battles. It will be playoff style…"
Thalia helped herself to a handful of candy, and yelped,
"I want to go first!" I handed her a guitar, and I picked up the other one. We decided to play a song called one… by Metallica. It was the longest and one of the most hardest.
We both stared at the screen and prepared for a challenge. The first note passed over a color… and we plucked. Then a whole line of notes streamed in a huge scale. We began playing. It wasn't as hard as you would think with the ADHD but it was still a big battle. I got some sort of scissors on a note. I didn't know what to do with it… but once I lifted my guitar for style… one of Thalia's strings popped. She had to press the buttons a lot… and by then she already missed a handful of notes. That's when the solo came up. It got so fast that I began to play random notes. Thalia actually tried… but she was doing about as good as I was. We were both on red as the song got about 90 through. It got easy… now it was a race to see who could get a better color while the song finished. I averted all of my concentration onto the TV screen and played my heart out. Thalia did the same, and the song ended. I watched as the screen flare a YOU ROCK! Sign in our face. Then a page popped up. It read 'Results'. We both crossed our fingers.
Player 1-(ME) 79
Player 2- 78
"YES!!" I screeched, as Thalia laughed, and handed the guitar to Annabeth. I handed mine to Rachel. This would get interesting…
They chose welcome to the jungle. Annabeth had a little brother who owned the game… so she had some experience. Rachel on the other hand owned the game… so she played it often. They both knew what to do with the little pictures that appeared on some notes… and played all sorts of tricks. It was getting very interesting… when Rachel made Annabeth go lefty. Annabeth saved herself from losing by doing an awesome solo… while Rachel lost some much needed points. We all plastered our attention to the screen as the results came up.
Player 1-(Rachel) 87
Player 2-89
Annabeth did an arm pump as Grover (Who wasn't good at any video game) stepped up to Annabeth. The winner of this game would face me in the finals. Annabeth easily beat Grover on a song called Barracuda… and they barely started the song.
I grabbed the guitar… and we chose a song. Suck my kiss… good memories. We started the game, as the others chanted our names. Annabeth was good to start… but after I found out how to use those little pictures… I played some nasty tricks on Annabeth. She just played dirty back. We were both on yellow… when a solo came up. I lost my fingering while Annabeth stayed strong. I was on red while Annabeth was on green. That's when the part of the song with the most notes came up. I made Annabeth have to fix a string, and I caught up. We were both on yellow as the end of the song popped up. We both got the last note… and waited for the results.
Player 1-(Me) 95
Player 2- 95
We stared in awe at the tie.
"Only one way to settle this…" said Thalia. "You each pick a song… and the one who gets the most points wins."
I thought I was pretty clever choosing the easiest song… but Annabeth was smarter. She chose a hard song, Stricken by Disturbed, and realized that would get more points. It worked Annabeth completely killed me. That was OK though… guitar hero was getting boring… We all went back to doing our own thing. I was just talking to Grover when Annabeth gasped. We all crowded around her. She was staring up at the clock… awe stricken. It was 5:30 in the morning.
CRAZY!! I'M RUNNING OUT OF PARTY IDEAS… SEND IN WHAT YOU THINK I SHOULD DO NEXT. I ALREADY HAVE THE END PLANNED OUT.PLEASE REVIEW!
