Did you seriously trow your kindle fire across the room? I was mad for the next two days, but I didn't throw the book across the room. I should've though. It would've helped!
Thanks!
A Big Fan of Most Thing: I already PMed you, so is it okay if I just leave it at that?
AwesomeDude27: First thing, love the name haha. I thought it was corsage but I wasn't sure. And then I thought, Well, maybe a corsage is like a bow tie or something, so then I just wrote flower braclet thingie. Sorry, the answer is the snake! Remember years ago when you first read TLT and you were like whoa, did he just say that he managed to strangle a snake when he was in daycare, or in kindergarten, I don't remember what it was. But remember that awesome legendary day that you devoured the first chapters of PJO? That day is the answer.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed, faved, and followed. It puts a smile on my face whenever I get something!

This one's for CimFan (again) and shadowofthemoonxx. Shadowofthemoonxx helped me with the storyline, so you should all thank her! CimFan got the question right first! The answer was the snake, guys! Remeber those first few chapters, and you were like whoa, he seriously strangled a snake in kindergarten? Yeah, that legendary day that you first fell in love with PJO.
Getting off-track, sorry!
This oneshot continues were I left off!
Enjoy!

Four words:
Longest Author's Note Ever. It has almost 1000 words.
Percy XI
They stepped through the doors, and Piper said, "Wow." Everybody else was just dumbfounded and staring at the decorations.
The walls were a very light blue with white details, the balloons were full and in clusters, so that you could barely see the different blue and white balloons. All of the decorations were blue and white. The DJ was spinning in the far left corner. Katy Perry's Part Of Me was blasting off the speakers. People were dancing on the dancefloor, which lit up like one of those oldschool things. There were some teachers on the sides checking if everything was okay, and there were people at the buffet on the right side with punch, sodas, cookies, cake, basically whatever you want.
Once Percy saw the buffet table, he sprinted straight towards it. He could just hear Annabeth mumble, "Boys and their stomachs!" once she followed his gaze.
He began stuffing his face with the blue cookies. He was pleasantly surprised when he saw that most of the food was blue and white.
Annabeth found him eating his twentieth cookie or something, and she laughed.
"Seaweed Brain, you should leave some for the others too!"
"Sorry…" Percy said, still stuffing his face.
Annabeth laughed and pulled him to the dancefloor. Percy just had a few seconds to grab another blue cookie.
Annabeth's POV
Annabeth grabbed his cookie and ate it herself. Percy pouted. He looked so cute to Annabeth.
"Why did you do that?" Percy was still pouting.
"I wanted a cookie. And you had twenty yourself."
Percy was still pouting, so Annabeth kissed him. After that he looked happy again.
"Alright people, this song is for all of you love birds out there!" The DJ's voice came through the speakers.
"What a coincidence." Annabeth said, seeing Piper walk back to them after requesting that slow song. Beyonce's Ave Maria* played.
"Dance, you two, you look so awkward!" Piper told while slowdancing with Jason.
"Uhmm… who should I dance with?" Percy joked.
"Me, Seaweed Brain." Deja vu, maybe? Annabeth hoped that she wouldn't fall off a cliff this time though.
Percy only stepped on her feet five times. A new record. After Percy got used to the rythm, Annabeth rested her head on Percy's chest.
She could stay like that forever, but suddely Percy tensed. Annabeth looked up to see Percy scanning the whole room.
"Jason and Piper are gone." Percy said, looking worried. Annabeth saw that he was right. Then she saw Piper's white little handbag on the floor. She caught her breath.
"Percy, look!" Annabeth told her boyfriend. Arg! Not again! Annabeth thought. Next thing you know Piper will become a Hunter, Jason will dance around like he had to pee, and I will be abducted again by the manticore.
But she and Percy ran towards the exit.
They found Jason and Piper fighting the manticore, was just too weird. ARG! Not again!
Annabeth and Percy joined the fight. Annabeth got her dagger out from her clutch, and Percy uncapped Riptide. They locked eyes with Jason, silently tellling him the plan. Their time on the Argo II and in Greece and Rome had made them close friends. Jason would disract the manticore from the front, while Percy and Annabeth try to stab him in the back. Simple, but effective.**
Sadly, it wasn't that effective. The manticore spotted Percy, and whirled around.
"Well," he sneered. "If it isn't the brat that is Poseidon's son. I have waited for this moment a long time, the moment that I get revenge." Then he saw Annabeth, and he said, "Maybe I should take you again, then we could just kill you for all the trouble you gave us."
Percy stepped in front of Annabeth, since she was frozen in shock, thinking about those horrible days that she was almost dying. She snapped out of it when she heard Percy's growl.
"Not today. You have hurt everybody by taking Annabeth, and I will not let that happen again." Annabeth became a little afraid of his expression. He looked downright murderous.
Jason
Jason was standing back. He was a little intimidated by Percy's expression. He looked like he just wanted to rip the monter's head off. He respected him though, from what Jason could hear, it sounded like the monster took Annabeth a few years ago. It must be really hard for them to go through the same thing again, fighting this monster. Jason thought
Since the monster was looking at Percy and Annabeth, his back was turned on Piper and Jason. Jason saw what Piper was going to do. She charged and stabbed the monster in the back. Jason could tell it was surprised before it burst into dust.
"That," Piper said, "Is for taking Annabeth."
Annabeth rushed towards Piper and hugged her.
"Oh my gods, Piper! Thank you so much!" Ananbeth told Piper.
Percy gave Piper a hug too, thanking her for saving them.
"It was no problem guys. But you have to tell us what happened exactly." Piper said.
Annabeth and Percy exchanged a look. Jason thought it was creepy when they did that. It's like they don't need words to tell each other how they feel.
"All right." They said simultaneously. Even creepier.
They all sat down on a bench. Percy and Annabeth sat next to eachother (of course), leaving Piper and Jason on the left side. Annabeth took Percy's hand and gave it a little squeeze.
Percy took a deep breath and then he began his story.
"A few years ago, when I was 14, on my third quest, Thalia, Annabeth, Grover and I went to a military school here in New York to get two demigods, Nico and Bianca Di Angelo." Jason was confused. They had met Nico, but where was Bianca? "That monster that we just fought, the manticore, was under cover. The first time we were fighting it, Annabeth jumped on it's back to save Thalia and I. The Hunters acme and shot the manticore. Annabeth was still on the manticore's back, so she fell off the cliff too." Percy took a shaky breath before continuing. "Bianca was offered a place in the Hunt. She took it. We all got to camp with Apollo's sun chariot, and Thalia drove. Grover stalked the Hunters," Jason chuckled at that. "and then we played Cpature the Flag." Percy continued. "I thought we could win, but we lost at the last moment. Thalia got mad at me, and we had a fight. Just when I wanted to douse*** her, the Oracle came. Back then, it was just a mummy with the spirit of the Oracle trapped inside. For the first time in 60 years, she took a little stroll in the woods to give Zoe, the Lieutenant of Artemis at that time," Annabeth gave Percy's hand another squeeze. He looked at her gratefully. "Anyway, the Oracle gave Zoe a prophecy, it said:
Five shall go west to the goddess in chains,
One shall be lost in the land without rain,
The bane of Olympus shows the trail,
Campers and Hunters combined prevail,
The Titan's curse must one withstand,
And one shall perish by a parent's hand." Percy looked very sad but he told Piper and Jason the whole story.
"Zoe, Bianca, Thalia, Grover, and a Hunter called Phoebe were supposed to go, but the Stolls gave Phoebe a shirt with centaur blood on the inside. She was sick and couldn't go. I took Annabeth's cap and hid behind one of the pillars. I found Nico there too, he was spying on his sister. He made me promise to keep his sister safe." Percy looked like he wanted to cry; Jason had a bad feeling about what was going to happen. "I left on Blackjack **** and followed the four questers. In a museum next to the Smithsonian Atlas and Luke grew some skeleton warrioirs, sparti. They ripped some of my shirt off. They could smell me even though I had Annabeth's cap on." Percy shuddered. "We fought the Nemean Lion at the Smithsonian. Zoe decided that I was part of the quest now. We found our way to New Mexico, where Pan sent us a giant pig to ride." Jason chuckled. Percy made it sound so ridiculous. "The pig carried us to the desert, where Hephaestus' junkjard. If you tried to bring something with you, Talus attacked you. ***** Bianca tried to take a little figurine of Hades, but we got caught. She climbed into Talus, but he staggered against one of the electricity lines. We couldn't even find Bianca's body." A single tear slid down Annabeth's cheek. Percy didn't look like he was far from crying either. He paused for a moment to remember Bianca. Jason felt so bad for Nico. Percy looked up, tears in his eyes, and continued. "We found a car, and went to the Hoover Dam. We were attacked by the sparti, but could get away by a burrito fight that Grover started." Jason smiled. He had met Grover a few times, and he seemed very nice. Percy kept on talking, though. "The angels that tourists always rub, you know, at Hoover Dam," Jason and Piper nodded. "They are actually automatons, and they picked us up and flew away to San Francisco. I wrestled Nereus, and asked him what the bane of Olympus was. Apparently, it was a sea creature with a cow's front and a serpent's back. I had befriended it in Camp Half-Blood, and named it Bessie. We had to save the Ophiotaurus, so Grover went with him to Mount Olympus, where they were debating wether or not they should kill it. To make sure he was garanteed a safe journey, I gave my dad the lion's skin coat. I also realized that Hercules, a hero that I admired all my life, betrayed Zoe when she gave him help. He never mentioned her, never even thanked her." Jason couldn't believe it. He also admired Hercules, and he couldn't believe that he would do something like that. Then he got angry. He should've mentioned her, or at least thank her. Zoe was, after all, the reason he was still alive. Percy stopped for a moment, remembering Zoe. "We went to Annabeth's house, and took their car to the Garden of the Hespiredes. We found Lady Artemis in chains, holding up the sky. We ran up Mount Othyrus," Jason shuddered, remembering the battle on that same mountain. Percy didn't notice, and kept on telling the story. "When we arrived at the top, we found Atlas and Luke. Luke had Annabeth in chains with a gag in her mouth." Now it was Annabeth's turn to shudder. "We found out that Zoe was Atlas' daughter. She still fought him, with Artemis, and me, while Thalia fought Luke. We trapped Atlas under the sky again, but Zoe had a fatal wound. Ladon hurt her earlier, and then she took another blow. Meanwhile, Thalia was fighting Luke. She won, and kicked him off the tower. The army from the Princess Andromeda was coming towards us, but stopped when they saw their leader on the ground. Annabeth's dad came, in his biplane, and incinerated a lot of monsters. Artemis called her chariot. We tried to heal Zoe, but she was beyond healing. When she died, Artemis made her a constellation, that one there." He pointed up, and everyone looked up. Piper gasped. There, in the sky, was a Hunter with a bow running across the sky. They stopped for a minute, remembering Zoe. Percy looked up, and Jason saw more tears in his eyes. He continued, though. "We flew on Blackjack and a few other pegasi towards Olympus. They decided not to kill us, and I am very happy about that, but Thalia was offered a place as the Lieutenant of the Hunt. That was one day before her 16th birthday. She took the place, because she wanted to join, but also so that she wouldn't have to make the decision. She basically dumped it on me." Percy smiled along with everybody else. But then his eyes turned dark, remembering something. "When we arrived at Camp Half-Blood, we found out that nobody had told Nico about Bianca. They expected me to do that. The sparti came into camp. They came after me. I told Nico to run, but he just stood there with his ears covered. He told the skeletons to go away, and suddenly the ground opened and swallowed the warriors. That's where that crack in the mess hall is from. Nico ran into the woods after telling me he hated me. Annabeth, Grover, and I stopped searching about half a mile into the woods. We found out that Nico and Bianca were children of Hades. We found Nico eventually, but that's a story for another time." Percy completed the prophecy.
"Five shall go west to the goddess in chains; that was Zoe, Bianca, Grover, thalia and I
One shall be lost in the land without rain; that was Bianca,
The bane of Olympus shows the trail; which was Bessie, the Ophiotaurus. Artemis was after him the whole time.
Campers and Hunters combined prevail; we only survived because we combined our forces.
The Titan's curse must one withstand; that was Artemis, who was the only one that could defeat Atlas.
And one shall perish by a parent's hand; that was Zoe."
Everybody was silent for a moment. Annabeth gave Percy's hand another squeeze and looked him in the eye. She gave him a sad smile, and they were communicating with their eyes. Again.
"C'mon guys, lets go stuff our faces with blue cookies again." Piper said, trying to lighten the mood.
Together, they walked towards the party again, enjoying the last few moments of being with their friends I high school
That was chapter eleven! WHOOHOO!
Because I can't put any AN in the 'flow of the story', I decided to just put some stars.
*Thats a beautiful song that sounds even better live! I thought it was perfect for Percabeth "You are my heaven on earth, you are my last, and my first, I always hear this voice inside, singing Aaaaaaaaahveee Mariiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaa, dumdudum, dumdumdum, dumdum, dumdum" That dumdumdum was just the music
**For all you directioners, it made me think of that time where all the boys had to say their favorite pick-up line, and Louis said that his favorite was "Will you marry me?" then Harry said, "Simple, but effective." I agree. Now one of them just has to ask me that.
***is that how you spell it?
****I seriously love that pegasus!
*****Was that the name of that big huge stupid warrior thing? I wasn't sure.
As I said before, sorry for leaving you guys for a longer period. I was out of ideas for the dance. It started out as like a déjà-vu thingie, but then it ended up as the whole story of TC. Sorry if I got something wrong, I kept on adding things I forgot, and I haven't read it in like, a year or something.
To all the people that saw Lord of the Rings (My parents forced me and my sister into a movie marathon. I liked seeing Orlando Bloom.. :P), There's a shop in Eindhoven (5th largest city of the Netherlands) that's called 'Smeagol'. WOW. I know.
Next question: What colour is the Big House? I know, easy, but oh well!
Remember to read the test, answer the question, review, and vote in the poll! The question is: Which story should I do next? Unless you don't want a say in that, I suggest you vote...
See you next time!
