Annabeth's POV
I sat, slouched on a chair, staring aimlessly at Piper's ceiling. If you were wondering where I was, I blame it all on Piper for convincing me to be here. Katie and Piper had decided to create a sleepover, so they set it at Piper's house, considering that her house was much bigger than everyone else's. Deciding it would be a fun girls' activity, the both of them invited Thalia and I too. I grinned as I thought back to two weeks ago.
~Flash Back~
It was Saturday morning as I lay in bed, half-asleep because of the alarm clock beeping loudly. I had forgotten that I usually set my alarm earlier so I wouldn't be late to school. I groaned and slammed my hand on the top. It stopped its noise, I sighed in relief. The beeping noise continued again. "WHY?!"
With sleepy half-lidded eyes, I looked up from my soft pillow and pressed the off button on my alarm clock, waiting an extra minute to make sure it didn't make any more noise. When it showed it wasn't going to make noise, my face collapsed into my pillow as I dozed off. But my slumber did not last long. My phone immediately buzzed loudly.
I decided to ignore the call, hoping that whoever it was would leave me alone. I mean, who wakes up this early? And on a Saturday? My phone kept on buzzing, its annoying sound irritating me even more. As you can guess, I was not happy at all. I was fed up with all these distractions that were interrupting my sleep. So, I grabbed my phone, not bothering to look at the caller ID, I growled into the phone, "What?"
"Woah, woah, sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," the Piper's feminine voice on the other side said.
I rolled over on my back. "No kidding, I just woke up because of these annoying things blaring in my ears so you better have a good reason for calling at what? Seven o'clock in the morning!"
"OK, me and Katie were up last night talking. And she had these adorable earrings with tiny little blue birds and a necklace-"
"Piper, get to the point. You are getting a little off track here," I said grinning.
"Oops," she laughed. "Anyway, we came up with this amazing idea. We should have a sleepover! You know, a fun night so we can catch up on stuff, play games, watch movies, and listen to some music! Awesome, right? So, will you come?"
"Sorry, Piper, you know I don't do well with parties and sleepovers."
"Aww... Come on, don't think of it as a party, more like a get together at a friend's house," Piper paused. "Thalia will be there."
"I still can't, I have a bunch of homework to complete," I was making up excuses now. I was that desperate to not go. "Besides, how did you get Thalia to go?"
I could practically hear her grin as she answered, "I promised to help her on one of her 'plans'. She said something about getting back at someone. I don't really know the details and she wants us all to be there. Here, I'll call Thals for proof." The call ended but not before another caller rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Annie, did you hear about Pipe's sleepover?" Thalia asked.
"Yeah, she just called me."
"OK, you need to go. We need to discuss my plan for payback at your boyfriend."
I was confused. "Percy? What did he do?"
"Remember that 'bonding time' you had set us up with, saying it will be fun?"
"Yes..."
"Well, it was fun, for him. He brought me to the amusement park. Who goes there? Percy, that's who. Anyway, I just need you help me to get back at him for bringing me there. Will you help?"
"Well, I could but I don't know. Me, helping you do something most likely terrible things to him, Percy will hate me."
"Oh, please. Percy had it coming, he knew I hate that place and still brought me there. The best thing for us to do now is the revenge plan. Please?"
I thought about it for a moment. Percy did bring Thals somewhere she did not like and he had it coming. Knowing my best friend, the 'revenge plan' probably involves anything sharp. I decided that would help her, but also lessen the blow on Percy."
"OK, I will go," I answered finally.
I just hope someone won't get killed, or worse.
~End of Flashback~
I heard someone pressing the remote buttons as the TV flickered through multiple channels. I looked over to the where someone was constantly making noise. Thalia was on the floor, surrounded with around twenty movies from the shelves, while Piper sat on the couch behind Thalia pressing random buttons on the TV remote. Katie stood in the kitchen heating a bowl of popcorn while she tried to determine what to use to season the popcorn. Thalia looked over the DVDs with a glance, tapping her chin.
"Thalia, what are you looking for?" I asked.
Not looking up from the DVDs, she replied, "A movie."
I said sarcastically, "Gee, Thals, I wouldn't have guessed from the pile of discs around you." Thalia sent me a glare. I smirked as I looked over her shoulder. "So... What kind of movie are you looking for?"
"Horror or mystery, but Piper has like a millions of them, so I can't pick one. They are all so good!" Thalia exclaimed, throwing her hands up.
Piper, overhearing our very not-so-quiet conversation, stopped pressing buttons and looked over at us. "Hey! For the record, I don't have a million DVDs," she said. "I have twenty-three! Five horrors, six dramas, eight chick-flicks, three mysteries, and one documentary."
Katie came over to us with a bowl of popcorn, sat down next to Thalia and looked down at the DVDs. She picked up the documentary DVD. "'The Private Life of a Chicken'. Heh. Not so private anymore," she snorted. "Hey, Pipes, why do you only have one of this?"
"Because that documentary was about these chickens getting killed."
I stared down at the disc in horror. "WHAT?!" Katie and I shrieked in unison while Thalia looked at Piper with wide eyes.
"Yeah, I never finished the whole thing. It was just so..." Piper shivered.
Thalia took the DVD from Katie and tossed it over the couch. "Welp, we won't be seeing that one. Hmm... I don't know which one I should pick. Piper, which one do you think is the most scariest?" She looked at Piper expectantly. Katie and I frantically made motions with our hands to stop her from saying anything.
Piper rolled her eyes. "Thalia, this is suppose to be a fun sleepover not a scaring fest that's going to make us stay up the whole night. For the sake of Katie, Annabeth, and myself, I will choose a somewhat scary movie." She pressed a button and the TV screen went to Netflix. The screen change to a unfamiliar movie. "'R.L. Stine's Haunting Hour the Series. Episode: Really You'. It's about a girl and a doll, any questions?"
Thalia and Katie shook their heads as I asked, "Um... could you give a more details about it?"
"You have to see it for yourself," Piper said. Katie gave a worried look to her. "Just in case you girls chicken out before it ends," Piper quickly added.
"So... It's scary," I said bluntly.
"A little bit."
"Ok."
"Yep."
"Uh-huh."
"No-"
"CAN WE PLEASE GET TO THE MOVIE NOW?" Thalia yelled impatiently, she crossed her arms. We all looked at her with a glare. "What? I said please."
I rolled my eyes. "OK, we can start now."
"Yeah, let's see what this jig is about. Hey, Annabeth?" Katie questioned while Piper and Thalia went to get more popcorn, arguing whether to put salt or butter on it.
"Hmm..." I said, not taking my eyes from the screen, reading the summary of the movie.
"I don't trust them right now."
My eyes turned to her in surprise. "What? Piper and Thalia? I can understand if you don't trust Thals but Piper wouldn't scare us too much."
"I know, but, can we really trust her to choose a movie? It wouldn't scare Thalia because, well, she has a higher tolerance and Piper has probably already seen this movie and knows when to hide and cover her ears while we have to go through all of it."
"Good point. Don't worry, we'll-"
Thalia came over to us, clearly miffed about something.
Concerned, Katie asked, "Something wrong?"
"Salt," was all she said as if that explained everything.
I open my mouth to an 'o' shape in realization to what Thalia meant as Katie looked at her with confusion. "Huh?"
"Piper put salt in the popcorn instead of butter. She says, 'It's too fattening.'" Thalia grumbled.
We heard Piper shout from the kitchen, "IT IS!" She came out with a bowl of popcorn and handed it to Thalia. "Here, taste it."
Thalia narrowed her eyes at the bowl. "You didn't put poison in it, did you?"
Piper rolled her eyes and smirked. "Sure did. I mean, I so invite you guys over just to poison you in the end at my own sleepover. I'm such a genius," she said sarcastically.
"OK. One, Annabeth is the geeky one." That earned her a sharp look from me. "And second, how would I know that that thing wasn't rigged with anything?" Thalia asked.
"You should trust me. I'm one of your trusted friends. "
"But you put salt in the popcorn!"
Piper sighed. "Just taste it already."
"Nope."
"Thalia, just eat one already. Katie and I are waiting for you guys to finish arguing to see the movie," I said, my head resting on my hand.
"No."
"Come on, Thals, we want to watch the movie," Katie whined.
Thalia crossed her arms. "I'm gonna say it again. NO!"
It was clear that everyone was getting annoyed. Thalia wouldn't taste the popcorn, Piper was trying to get her to taste it, and Kate and I were waiting. And waiting.
"Thalia, I did not poison or do anything bad to it. EAT ONE!" Piper demanded.
"NO-"
Distracted, Thalia and Piper did not notice that my hand had sneaked into the popcorn bowl. Katie nodded at me, knowingly.
"I-"
I got up slowly, inching closer to Thalia.
"WILL-"
My hand rose up as I grinned evilly.
"NOT EAT-"
I popped the popcorn into her mouth. There was a moment of silence and shock at what just happened. Katie, Piper, and I started to laugh which turned to full-on laughing at Thalia's startled expression. We finally calmed down slightly with a few bits of laughter still there.
Finally out of shock, Thalia chewed, then swallowed. Her eyebrows furrowed. "Hey... this tastes pretty good." She took another one out of the bowl and tossed it into her mouth. "Butter and salt. Why didn't you tell me what was in there earlier?"
"Because you were too occupied to notice that I put butter in there before it heated up. I wanted it to be a surprise but you were clearly not going to eat it. I am super glad that Annabeth was doing what she did before because you don't want to know what I was planning to do to you," Piper explained, wiping few drops of tears that ran down her cheeks. She clapped her hands and rubbed them together like someone concocting a plan. "Let's get to the movie now. And trust me, it's not that scary."
Thalia shook her head eagerly, relaxing onto the couch while Katie and I shared a look of worry. We both knew, this was gonna be scary anyway.
A/N:
Whew! That was a lot of writing. So the movie I had chosen for them to watch was picked because some of my best friends had watched this and they kept telling me how scary it was. So I thought to myself one night, "I will watch the movie." Luckily, Youtube had the movie (It is still there if you are interested, but it's a slightly different than the original due to copyright) and I have to say, I was afraid of my own room for about 2 weeks. Heh. Well, if you want to know what happens during the movie, simply search up for the plot on Google. It's not detailed so some of the things I mention later on will probably make no sense. Also, I am not sure if they still show this movie anymore... maybe they'll still show it on Netflix though.
The documentary about the chickens is not actually a real DVD (Maybe it is, maybe not. So far I haven't seen any), but I've researched it on Google and it has a couple Youtube videos that shows a video of the little chickens' life span on Youtube. It was so sad.
Finally, I will be stating that the, "Revenge Plan" will have several parts/chapters depending on how many words there are in order to finish it. I had originally typed about 1/4 of this on one page but it went up to 3,000 words so I am splitting it up into two. You can look forward to having each chapter have at least 1,500-2,000 words long. Many thanks for stopping by this sequel. :)

Woah, if you had read that whole entire thing, Thanks! I'm most likely boring everyone with this. Sorry if I deleted the one before and you came for no reason, but I had to make changes to it. XP Leave a review on what you think. Ok, ok, I am gonna go now...
BYE! :)
