I luv you guys. So. Freaking. Much. Thank you soo much for all of your fantabulous reviews! They make me want to write more! Shout-outs are at the bottom.
Now, AHHHH! I am sooo very confused. When I was going through the reviews, it seemed like Niomia was the winner of the contest, but then I got the review from Luana saying that she won, and its weird, because I read that exact review and could have sworn it said Niomia at the top...Also it's not helping that FF keeps misscounting the reviews...It keeps saying I have 25, but when I click on it, at the bottom it said 28...AHHH! I HATE BEING CONFUSED!Sorry for the misshap, I misscounted or something went wrong in my head...but none the less, I'm going to do Luana's oneshot, so...yeah. Sry again!
But, anyways, Without further ado, -
Nico: As if she owns us.
Me: *Growls and whips out dagger then points it at her half-brother's throat*
Nico: *Takes out his sword and parries the attack, smirking* She also doesn't own the Hunger Games!
Me: AHHH!
Me&Nico: *Go out into a full-on battle*
Me: On with the story! Die, half brother, DIE!
I took my hat and glasses off and set them on Silena's desk, then sat back down on one of the white bean-bag chairs to wait for everyone to get settled before we play truth or dare. Piper sat to my left, Thalia on my right, then Silena across from me on her bed.
"Okay, I'll go first," Silena said. "Piper, truth or dare?"
"Um...Dare," she said. Silena smiled evilly.
"On Monday, when you go to school, I dare you to ask out the first guy you see." Pipers eyes widened.
"Oh, wait," Thalia interrupted. "One more thing- if you chicken out, you have to let one of us cut an inch off of your hair," she said. "And it adds an inch each time." She looked at each of us, daring someone to speak up against it. When she was satisfied that no one would, she grinned slyly. Piper looked like she was in a serious debate, as if she said the wrong thing the world would blow up.
"Um...Uh..."
"You get one minute to decide or else we get out the scissors," Thalia challenged. She can be so evil sometimes.
"Oh, fine! I'll do it! Gods..." She muttered. "Thalia, I dare you to-"
"You didn't even ask me!" Thalia exclaimed. Piper cocked an eyebrow.
"Okay, Thalia truth or-"
"Dare," Thalia interrupted. I rolled my eyes.
"Okay," Piper smirked. "I dare you to let my sister give a complete pink makeover," she said. You could see the smoke pouring out of Thalia's ears. Silena was grinning like an idiot. "Oh, and you have to put on everything that my sister tells you, plus you have to keep it all on until the end of the game."
You could tell Thalia wanted more than anything to back down. She didn't care about an inch of her hair. She just didn't want to ruin her reputation it took her years to build on of being the dare-devil. She never chickened out on a dare, ever, no matter how humiliating or disgusting it was.
"Eek! This will be so fun!" She squealed. She grabbed Thalia by the arm and dragged her back into the bathroom.
"Thalia going to kill you for that," I told Piper.
"I'm going to kill you Piper Mclean!" Thalia yelled from behind the bathroom door. Me and Piper started to crack up.
***Twenty Minutes Later***
Silena came out of the bathroom and told us to 'behold the new -and improved- Thalia Grace.' Then She walked out, scowling so hard you'd be surprised if her face wasn't already stuck like that.
Me and Piper started to laugh again.
She was wearing a hot pink strapless cocktail dress with a huge bow on the waist-line, a lighter pink boa around her neck, hot pink five-inch heels, pink hoops, a few pink bracelets, and a pink diamond necklace. Her nails were buffed, filed, and polished with dark pink paint. Her hair was curled and there was a huge pink flower in it. Her eyelids were decorated with a lot of pink eye-shadow, her lips were glossy and dark pink, she was wearing tons of blush, and pink mascara. If you didn't know Silena, you wouldn't know how she did it all in twenty minutes.
Piper got out her phone and took a few pictures.
Thalia's eyes were flaring.
"I will get you..." Thalia said creepily, pointing a shaky finger at Piper. She immediately stopped laughing, and put her phone away, cowering under her gaze. She looked scared as Hades.
"Lets continue the game!" Thalia exclaimed, suddenly cheerful, which just made her all the more terrifying. She still glared at Piper. "Annie, truth or dare?"
"Dare," I said. She got a scary glint in her eyes.
"Silena, do you have a paper and pen I could use?" She asked. Silena nodded, then got up and disappeared out of the room. A minute or two later, she came back holding a clean sheet of paper and a pink pen.
"Here," Silena said, handing Thalia the supplies. She began to scribble words all over the page. When she was done, she handed it to me and it looked like a script.
"I dare you to prank call a random number from a phone book, then read off of this script," Thalia said, smirking. I grinned. This would be fun.
"You gotta' phone book?" Piper asked.
"Um...There might be one in my dad's library...BRB!" She said. Then she ran off. I took this time to read over my 'script.' My smile widened.
Silena walked back in a few minutes later holding a huge book. Piper cocked an eyebrow, as if saying, "Really? I never would have guessed a person like you would still have something like a phone book. No offense."
Then Silena gave her another look, "I know right! I didn't think so either! But, with my dad, you never know. And don't worry, none taken!"
It's amazing what you can get out of expressions sometimes.
Silena handed me the phone book and I flipped to a random page and threw my finger on a random spot. ***-***-****. I dialed *67 (To hide caller ID) then the number after it. I put it on speaker, set it in my lap, and picked up my script.
Someone picked up after two rings. A cracky, tired voice answered. It sounded as if he was drunk, or maybe half asleep. Lets hope it's the later rather than sooner.
"What do you want?" He croaked into the receiver.
"What's up, Phil?" I asked sweetly, sticking to the script.
"Wha- who the hek is Phil?"
"So, Phil, I was wondering if you wanted to catch a movie or something...?" Thals, Piper and Silena are already trying to choke down a laugh.
"I don't know you, you lunatic!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure! Now just hang up!"
"Ugh, fine...Will I see you in school, Phil?"
"School? No! I'm forty nine! I don't go to school!"
"I'll take that as a yes! Can't wait to see you there!" By now their faces are red and going on purple. I even have to bite my tongue to keep form laughing at how stupid I sound.
"I just told you no!"
"Can you get me some ice cream?"
"I thought you were hanging up?"
"Some gentleman..."
"Excuse me? You do not have the right to make fun of me." Sure...'Cause you seem quite the gentleman...
"Did you order the pizza?"
"What pizza?"
"The pizza you ordered..."
"I didn't order no freaking pizza!"
"Um...yes you did. They should be in your closet by now." Haha. I don't really understand that one, but it does sound funny.
"In my clos-what?"
"Oh, so now you're calling me ugly?" Okay, now it's really hard to hold in a laugh. Silena reached over for a pillow to stuff her face in. Piper ran out the door to let it all out, and cam back in as if nothing had happened to listen to more. Thalia...I don't know how she hasn't broke yet. It must be because she's still a little edgy on the whole pink thing.
"I can't even see you!"
"You know what, Phil? We. Are. Done. Good bye."
"We never star-" Then I hung up.
And you can probably guess what happened next.
Yep. We all got it out of our system and the room was yet again filled with laughter. I buried my face in the chair I was sitting on.
When we were through, we all let out a sigh and continued with our game.
"So, Silena, truth or dare?" I asked.
"Truth."
"When are you going to ask out Beckendorf?" I challenged. She flushed like a ripe tomato.
"Um...I don't know?" She said., more like a question.
"That's not an answer," Piper said.
"Thirty seconds..." Thalia murmured.
"Oh...Fine! Just take the inch," she said. Thalia grinned.
"Where are some scissors?" She asked.
"There are some in the draw over there," Silena said, motioning to the one across the room. Thalia got off of her (pink) chair to where Silena was gesturing. The pulled open the draw and searched through until she found a pair of (pink) scissors. Thalia grimaced at the color.
"Alright, to the bathroom!" Thalia said dramatically. We all followed her, some more giddy than others. Silena sat in one of the chairs and clutched the armrests until her knuckles were white and I was surprised they weren't bleeding. Her face was pinched, her eyes shut tight, and her mouth formed a weird shape.
"Just...get it over with," she whispered. Thalia grinned, and though I felt a little bad for Silena, I though she was being a little over-dramatic. It's only an inch. It's not the end of the world. It'll grow back.
"Choppy or straight?" Thalia asked, as if she could actually cut it straight anyways.
"Doesn't matter," she said. So Thalia began to slice away. Bits of black hair fluttered to the floor every few seconds. Soon enough, Silena's hair was an inch shorter. It was now resting choppily at her shoulders exactly.
When Thalia told her she was done, she opened her eyes, and they flew to the floor behind her. She let out a small whimper, then scurried off to the mirror, and gasped. Then smiled.
"Wow," she said, letting her fingers comb through her hair. "This is actually a pretty good look for me." Silena then took out her headband and set it in one of her bags. We walked out of the bathroom and settled back down, and I yawned.
"You guys tired?" Piper asked. "I am."
"Yeah, me too," Silena said. I nodded in agreement.
"Psh, I'm not," Thalia said.
"Well, can we just watch a movie or something?" I suggests. I glanced at the clock in the corner of the room and saw that it was 12:30 am. Talk about time flying.
"Okay," Silena said as she got up. "Lets get our pajamas on and we can head down to my dad's library to pick a movie." We all agreed that that sounded like a pretty good idea so we all got our clothes that we brought over from past sleepovers that were hidden in one of Silena's draws and split up to go change. Silena and Piper went to the bathroom (Piper hid behind the shower curtain), I went to the hall bathroom, and Thalia stayed in the bedroom. I had brought a grey tank top and blue and brown plaid sweatpants. I stripped myself of my old clothing and threw my PJs on.
Once I was done, I quickly but thoroughly washed my face of all the makeup Silena had disguised me with. When I was sure my face was clear, I ran my brush through my hair a few times before collecting my old clothing to bring with me back to Silena's room. I knocked to make sure Thalia was done changing, and when she assured me she was, I opened the door to find that Silena was done as well. It was only a moment later that Piper walked through the bathroom door to join us in Silena's bedroom.
Silena was wearing pink shorts and a blue tee shirt. She had obviously washed away the makeup that had once covered her face. Thalia had black sweatpants on and a black tee shirt. She had also washed her face, seeing that the heavy eyeliner was gone. Piper was wearing a green tank top and purple shorts, her face washed as well.
I dumped my clothes in Silena's hamper before we headed towards her dad's library. It was practically a labyrinth in her house. We made our way down the staircase and through a huge hallway. Amongst the many doors, we stopped to a right where there was a pair of double doors. Each had a metal knocker-thing that was stuck inside a lion's mouth. Silena pushed one of the doors open to reveal a humongous library. Books were stacked and piled everywhere. The shelves touched the top of the high ceiling and seem to go on forever down the isles. To our left, was a ladder that led up to the top of the cases, and rolled along the floor to move side-to-side. To our right was a little reading area. A long red chair sat next to a creamy white sofa, and in between them sat a glass table that was stacked with more books. Behind the reading area was another huge bookshelf full of all kinds of movies and DVDs. I noticed that Silena's dad was sitting in that area, reading a book about what I made out to be 'World Peace.'
"Hey, dad," Silena called as we walked in.
"Hey, Punkin,'" He said, not looking up fro his book.
"Me, Pipes, Thals and Annabeth are gonna watch a movie, 'K?" She asked him. He nodded, still staring intently into his book.
"Don't stay up too late," He said.
"So," Silena started. "Do you guys wanna watch an action/adventure movie, horror, chick flick, funny, funny chick flick, funny/horror, fantasy, what?" She asked. I myself was up for an action movie.
As if reading my thoughts, Thalia spoke up for me. "Anybody else wanna watch some action?" She pondered.
"I wouldn't mind some action," I said.
"Sounds good," Piper chimed.
"Action it is," Silena muttered. We scanned through the movies looking for a good action movie. Apparently Thalia found one because she jumped up and practically yelled "Aha!"
We all made our way towards where she was to see what she found as she slid it out. The cover had a mockingbird pin that was encased in flames. Thalia had a sly grin on her face. "What about the Hunger Games?" She asked.
"Oh yeah, I haven't seen that one yet. My dad said it was really good, though," Silena said.
"I say we watch it," I said.
"Yeah," Piper agreed. Thalia handed the movie to Silena as we made our way out of the library.
"Night, Dad," Silena said before we left, and kissed him on the cheek. "Love you!"
"Love you too, Punkin.' Night!" He called as we exited.
"You guys want some popcorn?" Silena asked, now walking backwards down the long corridor.
"Um, sure," I said.
"Alright, kitchens this way," Silena said, now walking forward. She led us down the hallway and then towards the dining room. Behind the dining room was the kitchen, which had black and white checkered tile, black marble counters, two white stoves and two white microwaves. Silena skipped off towards the pantry and I hoisted myself onto the counter. When she came back, she was holding three bags of what I assumed was popcorn. She placed them one at a time in a microwave then pressed a button, and we watched as the popcorn popped, obviously bored out of our minds.
It felt like an eternity before they finally finished popping, and when they did, Silena flung the microwave door open a millisecond before if could start to beep.
She sighed. "I. Am. So. Tired," she said as she pulled out the popcorn and set the third one in. "You know how you're wide awake one moment, then you settle down, and all of a sudden you're dog tired? Yeah. I hate it when that happens."
***Thirty-some seconds later***
The microwave finally beeped, letting us know the third popcorn was done, and I almost felt like fist pumping the air and doing a victory dance. Almost.
Silena pulled it out and I hopped down from my spot on the counter. We made our way back upstairs to Silena's room, Piper holding one of the bags and Silena the other two. I opened the door when we came up to it, and we walked through. They set the popcorn on a table and while Piper went to pop the movie in, me and Thalia got the sleeping bags out of the top of Silena's closet and Silena made room for them.
We laid them all out in a row; first Thalia, then me, Piper, and Silena. My sleeping bag was grey, Thalia's black, Piper's purple, and Silena's -you all know what color hers was. Silena got four pillows off of her bed and laid them at the head of each of our sleeping bags. Thalia cut the lights out and closed the door, and we all laid down as the movie began.
So, how was that? It was longer, yes, but I honestly wasn't so proud of it. I guess it was more or less a fill-in chapter. But the next time I update, I'll have a time-skip to Monday, so yeah-don't worry, my pretties! Percy's coming soon!
MORE DRAMA&ROMANCE! MWHAHAHAHA *Cough, cough*
I hate coughs. *Sniff*
So, lets just get the shout-outs done real quick!
AntiThalico: Haha yeah I guess I should have done that. It was a good idea. Oh well. My birthday was July 20. I just turned twleve. Thx for R&R!
Percyrox: Thx bunches! I'm glad you like her stage name :) I was debating on wether or not to use Falcon because I thought it sounded good with Jez, but I also thought it sounded kinda cliche. But I'm glad I did! Thx so much for R&R!
CrazyPeanutAttack: Haha...randomsauce...that was funny. I'm glad you liked it, and thx for R&R!
Minions Of Myth: Lol I thought that too when I saw it. At first I was thinking 'well...They are demigods in this...maybe their sons of Poseidon or something...or maybe its one of those word tricks and not a single one got wet because they all did...' Haha. I was wrong too. Thx for R&R!
WaZZ88: I will! I swear on the Styx! Thx for R&R! I'm glad you like it!
HarryStyles3733: I'm really glad you like it! I normally come up with my storylines n' plots n' stuff by listening to songs. I was listening to Taylor Swift one time and I got to thinking 'I luv how all of Taylor's songs have a story behind them, and a lot of them are love stories...What if Annabeth was like this singer, or something, and I could have her sing all Taylor Swift songs? Ooh! And then she could wear a disguise to school where she meets Percy..." And so on and so forth. So I kind of branch off ideas from one main idea that started with inspiration from a song. Percabeth4ever! I'm very happy you like it, and thx for R&R!
Poptartlover2000: I'm glad you like it! Thx for R&R!
Cammy2012: PEACHES! OH YEAH! WOO! I'm glad you like the story, and I love that part too! She was all like "Pinapples! Oranges! Peaches!" And then he was all like "Peaches...Haha, why is she- PEACHES! OH MY GOSH, THE BABY'S COMING! THE BABY'S COMING! AHHH!" Lol. Thx for R&R!
AtlantaJackson: F TW means (Four letter 'F' word that I refuse to say) The World! And Haha, seriously? That's funny. Lol, thx for R&R!
Alright, that's it, my Pretties!
