Lexie: Hey so I finally got a chance to write. Eight hour car drives are very helpful, and just think I have another eight hour drive back! So you guys could possibly get four to five chapters out of this. You're so lucky I prefer writing and reading over watching movies.
Grounded: Chapter 5
"Okay its official," I said while flopping onto my bed, "I have been mentally scarred for life."
"You're telling me. At least you weren't the first one to walk in, it was much worse."
"Why? What we're they doing?"
"Trust me, you don't want to know."
"But—"
"You DON'T want to know."
Annabeth had yet to come out of the bathroom, and was doing who knows what in there. (Well actually we had a fairly good idea from all the noise she was making, but we'll let you figure that out on your own.) Apparently Sean and I had already used up our two hours out of the cabin for the day because when I tried to leave I was just shot back in. It was kind of like having bungee cord attached to your back, you can only get so far before it pulls you back. So I guess you could call it a leash. There is a 100% guaranteed painful landing, and the wooden cabin floors don't help much. So after my ever so 'graceful' landing I could only expect Sean to be laughing his ass off.
"Ha-ha! You should've seen your face! You were all like 'What the heck?' and then you were 'Ahhhhh!' Oh man classic." He laughed, wiping a tear out of his eye.
"Yeah I'll give you something to laugh about." I grumbled more to myself than to him, that didn't stop him from hearing me.
"What was that?" He smirked.
"Nothing. Now help me up, I can't feel my legs."
"Oh alright."
A word of advice to all you younger sisters out there, if you ever want revenge on your older brother for laughing at you when you fall or, in my case , are launched back into the room by some force field like thing, just put them in the same situation. This is even easier if your brother is as gullible and retarded as mine.
Sean came over to help me up, but before he could I said, "You know Sean you really are retarded sometimes." He was confused for a second and had just come to realize what I meant, but by then I was already in motion. I kicked him full force in the chest sending him flying out the door. I can't say I blame Sean for laughing. By the time he was back in the room I was having trouble breathing from laughing so hard.
"Gods Lex, I didn't know you could kick so hard."
"Hey what can I say, playing soccer as a kid has its perks."
"You launched me out the door!"
"Well being able to calculate the angle of trajectory, and the momentum needed to launch you is also helpful. So you can thank mom for that."
"Okay I'm calling a truce. I won't throw you out the door if you don't launch me out either."
"But you haven't thrown me out the door."
"I haven't? Well we need to change that then don't we?" He took a step towards me.
I scrambled backwards to my bunk."Okay, okay truce!"
"Well now that we've gotten that out of the way, what now?"
I was about to respond when I was interrupted by another moan from the bathroom. "Why don't we try and fix that. If I'm going to be trapped in here for however long we're stuck here for I will not be listening to that the whole time."
"Agreed. But what exactly can we do about that?"
"We find out what's wrong with those two, and then fix it."
"Every think that they're just going through that phase where they can't keep their hands off each other?"
"No I don't think that. Annabeth is not dumb, if she wanted to do that then she would, also she would have the courtesy to not do PDA, and Annabeth would never go to such levels as that." I said nodding my head towards the bathroom door. "I mean think about it."
"Okay you have a point there, but Annabeth could be one of those people whose brain just shuts down in those situations."
"That is true, but I don't think that's the case. And I mean you have to consider Percy too. Whether you want to admit it or not Percy is a gentleman, I mean from what Annabeth has told me she always the one to initiate their kisses. So why is he all of a sudden ravishing her?"
"Okay you've got a point, so what do you think someone cursed them or something?"
"That's exactly what I think. But the question is who. It could be a number of people."
"Let's see, it could a Hermes Cabin prank, or even Hermes himself."
"Let's not forget the Aphrodite cabin, or more specifically Drew. If it's the entire cabin then they probably got tired of wait for their favorite couple to take the next step in their relationship, or they just needed more stuff to gossip on. If it's just Drew then she could be doing this as revenge on Annabeth for not embracing her inner girly-girl," I gagged at the thought, and Sean gave me a funny look, "her words not mine."
"Yeah you got a good point there, but I was thinking what if its mom? I mean what if she just wants a reason to ground us and she decided this would be the best one."
"Okay, I don't really think that would happen, but we'll keep it in mind. Is there anyone else?"
It was quite for a couple of seconds while we thought. I looked at Sean and then it hit us.
"Aphrodite."
Lexie: Who do you think it is? I would tell you, but honestly I'm not too sure who it will be myself I'm still trying to decide. So leave a review on who you think should be the one who cursed Percy and Annabeth. It does not have to be one of the ones mentioned
