Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or ThoO only having fun with it.
Lexie: I probably should have explained a little in the first chapter but I'll do that now. So for those of you have read my other story "Movie Night" or have read Sean Son of Athena's stories "Heroes Saber" and "Web Line" (which I edit/co-author) you should recognize most of the OCs. Lexie is based off myself which I'm sure you figured out and Sean is based off Sean Son of Athena. This story will allow you to see more of Lexie and Sean's life at camp.
Grounded: Chapter 2
I could only bring myself to say "Define All."
"All: Used to refer to the whole quantity or extent of a particular group or thing."
"I didn't mean literally, mom!"
"Well then Alexis, what do you mean?"
"Ugh mom it's Lexie not Alexis. I'm only called Alexis when my dad is yelling at me. And I meant what do you mean by 'You're all grounded' because last time I checked there is only one person here without a shirt on and with their jeans unbuttoned and the zipper down. Yeah don't think I didn't notice Annabeth." I said smirking at my sister while tossing her a T-shirt to put on.
"I mean exactly what I say Alexis," I frowned at the use of my full name, "You're all grounded."
"What!? How is that fair!? The rest of us didn't do anything!" Sean spoke up for the first time since mom had arrived. Mom was about to respond when Malcolm walked in with Aasha and Devon.
"Hey everyone. I found Devon and Aasha, they were hiding at the dining pavilion, I have to say that was good strategy on their part.—Whoa mom? What are you doing here?"
"Well now that all my children are here I can answer with each of your individual reasons."
"Umm…What's going on?" asked an obviously confused Malcolm only to be ignored.
"First Devon and Aasha, you two are being grounded for—"
"Grounded!?" Devon and Aasha both exclaimed, but mom continued as if nothing happened.
"—Lack of listening to orders from Malcolm and Annabeth, and for skipping your academic classes. Because you are both the youngest of the cabin in both age and experience here at camp, your punishment will not be as severe. You are both grounded for one week; you can only attend your academic classes such as Ancient Greek/Greek Mythology, or anything involving the arts, classes such as Archery, Sword skills, and rock climbing are not allowed, also no Capture the Flag on Friday. Now go to dinner and I will expect an extra burnt offering." Aasha and Devon looked like they wanted to protest, but decided better when mom gave them a warning look saying protest and you will regret it, and left. I thought about trying to sneak out with them before mom could punish me too, but one look from mom told me not only that she had heard my thoughts, but if I tried the outcome would not be good.
"And now Malcolm," he practically shrunk in fear at the mention of his name, "I actually can't find a reason to ground you, so you're in the clear," everyone's jaw dropped at this, "But I will be needing you to teach Ancient Greek for about the next month."
"Wait, but mom I teach Ancient Greek." Annabeth protested.
"Yes, I'm well aware of this Annabeth."
After finally recovering from his shock Malcolm managed to stutter out, "I would love to teach Ancient Greek."
"Good. You are excused Malcolm you can go to dinner now." Malcolm didn't stay to protest and bolted out the door, leaving us at the mercy of our mother and feeling extremely envious.
I then decided if there was ever a time to lighten the mood in attempt to cool mom's rage it would be now and decided to say, "So let me guess Sean and I are both off the hook because we were being the good studious children of Athena you know we are."
Athena was about to respond but I interrupted her before she could. "Oh thanks mom! You're the best! I'll be sure to give you an extra burnt offering at dinner. Bye!" I then headed towards the door.
"Not so fast Alexis." I cringed at the use of my real first name, she was using the same tone of voice my dad uses right before he would yell at me, and I had the feeling she knew it too. "You and Sean are not off the hook, and you aren't going to get off as easy as Devon and Aasha either."
I sighed, "Yeah I figured as much." And made my way back to my bunk.
"Now as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted," she looked at me when she said this making me shrink back, " You are both being grounded for two specific reasons, the first being you're pranking," Sean and I paled, " and for not preventing this." And she pointed at Annabeth, who was trying to cover the obvious hickey on her neck, causing her to blush.
Sean and I looked at her questioningly, and then at each other. "Umm mom, the first one I get, but how are we responsible for Annie's hickey?" Sean asked, as Annabeth glared at him for pointing it out to our mother and then blushed a deeper shade of red when Athena turned to her and saw mark on her neck for the first time.
"Well Sean if you must know, I remember putting the two of you in charge of making sure nothing like this happened."
My eyes widened at the memory
Sean and I were in the cabin reading our own books when Athena appeared.
She said, "I want you two make sure Annabeth doesn't go overboard with her sea scum of a boyfriend, I do not want a grandchildren yet." and then disappeared.
Sean looked up from his book and over at me "What did she say?"
"Something about Percy, Annabeth, and grandchildren." I responded without taking my eyes of the book.
"Oops."
"Yes it would seem so. But anyways your punishment is the same as Devon and Aasha's, but a little more severe. Instead of one week you will have two weeks, also you will only be permitted to leave the cabin for your academic classes, to prevent your pranking opportunities, Malcolm will bring you your meals."
"I demand to speak to my attorney!"
Ignoring my last comment she continued. "That is all for you two so you can go read a book or something."
I sighed and fell back onto my bed.
"And now for Annabeth." I bolted up right, wanting to see how bad her punishment would be. "Oh Annabeth you used to be absolutely perfect, but ever since that Perseus came into your life... and now this! Attempting to sleep with the boy! If I had arrived a few minutes later I might have been too late seeing as he had already shed of everything but his boxers and was in the process of removing your pants and you had already lost your shirt." By the time mom had finished Annabeth was dying of embarrassment, or she at least wished she was, her face was bright red. I couldn't help but snicker causing her to glare at me. I just smirked.
"But you Annabeth will not be leaving the cabin at all for the next month, Malcolm will bring you your meals as well. As for your academic classes you can read a book to make up for them. My decision is final, if you choose to not abide by it you will regret it." And with that Athena left, leaving Annabeth at a loss for words.
After several minutes fell back on her bed and sighed in frustration. I couldn't let the opportunity pass and said while smirking, "He was in the process of taking your pants off." I had to duck when a book came flying at my head.
"Oh shut up, and don't act like you haven't snuck Austin in here."
"Well yeah, but I wasn't stupid enough to get caught by mom!"
"Ugh. Shut up, I know." I just continued laughing, until I was hit in the head by a scroll that came out of nowhere.
Oh I forgot something.
Lexie no boyfriend- one month
Annabeth no boyfriend- two months
-Athena
"Oh come on!" I yelled at the sky.
"Okay forget this, I'll see you guys later I'm going back to Percy's cabin."
"But mom said—" Sean tried to say
"And what is she going to do to stop me?" and with that Annabeth walked out of the cabin. Not two seconds later did she come flying back in the room shouting, "Ahhhh!" at the top of her lungs. Followed by a scroll that said:
Mom- 1
Annabeth- 0
I am the goddess of wisdom and you think I would forget to charm the cabin, this is sad.
PS. I charmed the cabin so you can't leave.
"Well it looks like mom has a sense of humor after all." Sean said chuckling after reading the scroll.
"This is going to be a long month." Annabeth groaned.
I would have responded, but I was too busy cracking up.
Lexie: Hoped you liked this chapter, I tried to get a good bit of humor in there so tell me how I did in a review.
