LOL! I hope you guys liked it! Next chapter!
Percy woke up, on a cloud. Blackjack was sleeping on one next to him, Jason standing on one in front of Percy, like he was surfing. Percy sat up. He'd always thought clouds were made of water. "How'd you do this?" He asked the surfing blond hero. "Spell... My dad taught it to me last month. Cool, huh?" Percy nodded, looking below him. Suddenly, a wave was crashing down below. He heard his dad's voice in his head: Hurry! Help them! Percy! He yelled "JASON! LOOK!" and they were soon down there. He concentrated, really focusing, and pushed it up. He saw fish, seaweed, and other ocean items. It was soon back in the nearest ocean, since Jason's winds could basically move 700 tons of copper. Sorry, Percy. Poseidon spoke in Percy's head. Required testing, order from Zeus. Go have a swim, okay?
He laughed at his dad, always kind of random. "Jay," Percy said, smiling. "Wanna go swimming for a little bit?" Jason blushed, shuffling his feet. "Well..." Percy's mouth dropped open, laughing. "No way!" He said, cracking up. "Don't tell me, the almighty Roman son of the king, can't swim!" Jason shrugged, blushing a brilliant red. "I wanted to learn, but Thalia and I had such a rough life-" Percy looked at Jason, like the boy might have rabies. "You...and Thalia?" Percy tried to figure it out, as nobody on the Argo II had told him in the quest. "Oh." Jason blushed such a bright red, he looked unnatural. "Okay, long story...Zeus fell in love with our mom, Thalia was born. Few years later, Jupiter fell in love in Roman form, same woman. That was me...Don't expect Hera was happy!" Percy was smiling like his story was Sesame Street. Funny and Happy. "Hera literally tore us apart!" Percy stopped smiling. "Gosh," Percy felt guilty. He was a loner when it came to brothers and sisters. Not even half-siblings, just him. Frank was barely a "relative", no luck there. It hurt his heart to hear what a goddess could do...and experience it. Not with family. By himself. Annabeth was his last hope for "family", and Hera had separated them, too. His mom was great, but he yearned for someone, anyone, that could be his brother or sister. "Jason, sorry..." Percy managed. "It's just..." Jason was sick of Percy, yet he felt that the quest wasn't over. Like this superhero thing was something important. "Okay, know anyone for swimming lessons?" Jason asked. Percy looked at him, but Jason had a right to return the odd glance. "Uh..." Percy gulped. "Pool or Ocean?" Jason smirked. "I know you can manipulate oceans, but hey, I've got lightning!" They laughed, and headed for the nearest ocean on high wind.
"Wow..." Percy was amazed (and slightly irritated) that Jason could learn pretty much everything and do it in less then a half hour. Jason looked like...a god. His blond hair and tan skin made him look awesome, even with a Tahoe gift shop pair of swimming trunks. They had ended up in Nevada, a desert which was beautiful, and no cacti like Percy had always thought it had. It barely looked like a desert, and he was assuming Lake Tahoe had been an ocean (Quote the name: LAKE Tahoe...Blind idiot. XD) But lakes worked too. "Last time I was here," Percy said. "In Nevada, it was on my first quest with Annabeth and Grover. In Vegas, of course...Don't ask." Jason nodded, doing another expert lap from a rock 13 feet away to the shore. Percy snapped his fingers, hoping it would work. "Yes!" He whispered as some blue swimming trunks replaced his shorts. His underwear, shoes, and shirt dissolved. He was ready to swim, show Jason who's boss. And he splashed with a dive into the deep, deep water. It felt wonderful. The one thing that made the sunny day better, was that his father, Poseidon, teleported Annabeth right in the lake, next to Percy, in a beautiful two-piece. She smiled, swimming up to him. They hadn't kissed in so long...for almost an entire week! He had to make this count. Forgetting about Jason for the moment, he took them underwater in an air bubble, same routine as before. And the best under-water kiss ever just got topped.
Hoped you liked it, and please review. Too short? Too long? Not enough words? XD Next chapter is Jason...drowning! Don't worry...I have a surprise!
