Sorry this chapter is a little bit shorter than they have been these past couple of days, I was seriously lacking creativeness. Please donate your ideas for tomorrows chapter to avoid this happening again :) x

Merry Christmas eve eve eve eve eve eve

A Very Percy Jackson Advent

December 19th

It was just after dinner on the Argo II. Leo had cooked up a huge meal for everyone featuring five different types of meat, a strange soup that no one had heard of and other meal time things that everyone ate a lot of. Afterward, they filled the little space they had left with their left over Christmas cake and were now lounged around across the ship, unable to move with their pleasantly full stomachs.

"Aren't you glad you ate that, Nico?" Frank asked.

Nico shrugged. Secretly, he couldn't have been happier to have a full stomach and a comfy seat; in the past he would have been on cloud nine right now. But he'd been playing the grumpy "emo" teenager act for too long now to just let it go and outright admit he was happy about something.

"That was really nice, Leo," Hazel said.

Leo was slouched sleepily across the room from Hazel, he was sat beside Calypso as he had been since she'd been dared to kiss him, they'd become practically inseparable - which made Percy incredibly happy since he'd "called it". Hazel might as well have complimented a brick wall for all the response she got.

"Leo!" Jason yelled. He took off his shoes and threw it at his friend.

Leo flinched when the shoe his him square in the forehead and then frowned at Calypso as she dissolved into a fit of giggled. "What?" he asked angrily.

"Hazel complimented your cooking," Jason told him. "But you were away on cloud Caleo."

"Caleo?" Calypso asked.

"It's a mash up of both your names," Percy explained, "I take full credit!"

Annabeth shook her head at Percy but seemed to be too full to come up with one of her usual witty comments about her boyfriend's behaviour.

Everyone sat in lethargic silence for a while until Coach Hedge broke the silence. "Okay, if you won't let me kill anything, at least can we please tell stories about our best battles?"

They all looked at each other with the same expression – none of them liked talking about battles as they usually held the loss of someone close to them or had some sort of embarrassing hiccup in the middle.

"Maybe we should talk about ourselves instead," Reyna said unexpectedly. Reyna was the last person anyone expected to show interest in people's personal lives. "What if we encounter a shape shifter or something and we have to be able to tell the difference between the real you and the shape shifter?"

Everyone shrugged but no one spoke.

"Fine," Reyna sighed. "I'll go first. Hi, I'm Reyna. I have a sister who lives in the Amazons," Hazel smiled at that as it rekindled the memory of finding Arion. "I have two dogs that can tell if you're lying," Percy grimaced as he remembered how scared he'd been of those things when he'd first met Reyna. "And my favourite food is pancakes."

"Hi, I'm Percy," Percy grinned, happily joining in, "It's just me, my mom and Paul. I don't have any siblings... uh... I like blue food – it's an ongoing joke between mom and me – and uh... I sort of have a pet Pegasus but he's not exactly a pet..."

"Fine I'll play," Piper said. "I'm Piper; the only family I have is my Dad. He's an actor so I get kinda uncomfortable watching his films since all the other girls are swooning over him and he's... well, he's my Dad... Yeah."

"Hey I'm Jason," Jason grinned. "I have a sister, Thalia – most of you knew her before I did. Uh... my favourite colour is blue and I like DC comic books."

"You can't like DC over Marvel!" Nico and Frank exclaimed. Nico looked down in embarrassment after his outburst whilst Frank looked ready for battle.

"Dude, Superman and Green Lantern totally beat Captain America and Hawk eye!"

"But we have a Hulk!" Frank exclaimed. "And black widow and please, don't get me started on how ridiculous Superman is in comparison to Tony Freakin' Stark. At least Marvel has the common decency to include the Black Widow in the movie! Does Wonder woman have a movie? No, didn't think so. "

"Hey, hey guys," Piper sighed. "Just chill out; Marvel and DC are both equally amazing... I think we all should just stop now..." Thanks to her charm speak she was able to stop them arguing. Nobody else said anything for fear of another obsession clash between them. Instead, they one by one retreated to their rooms to sleep off the food while Coach complained about how it hadn't turned into a fight.

Name Mark 3: Aw thank you :) I was afraid that it would be a little out of character but then I guess I'm focusing on the Percy who defeated Kronos and made it out of Tartarus and not the Percy who eats blue food and goofs around a lot :) sorry that this chapter was short. I'll try and make a long one for Christmas if I'm not too busy opening presents :D

sonofthetrigod: What!? How can you never have played such a great game?! The next time you're with your friends you have to play it!

Percy'sSisterSPQR: I will give you a shout out and you can even suggest the theme of the chapter if you remind me on the 21st because I have a very bad memory :)

ArianandXaia: Me and m friend argue about that too which is exactly why I included that argument in this chapter :D

PursuerofNovels: Thank you :) x

annoyinreindeer: Yay cookies! (I still want to play xmas cookie roulette!)

Remnant of Life: Aw thank you :) I think I'm definitely warming up to Reyna as a character I just hope that doesn't mean I start writing her in an OOC way :/

moonshroom420: That's the best phrase ever! I'm going to use that. Glad you liked it :)

butterflygirly99: Yeah I admit I was grinning when I wrote that :P Glad I can give you something to look forward to along with Christmas

theargoII: Hmm. I don't think I'm creative enough to think of enough questions for that... good suggestion though.

thefangirlthatwon'tshutup: Yeah, I figured since he could tale to Fish!Frank in the books he'd be able to talk to Horse!Frank too

Ana-DaughterofHades: I don't actually know. I think I read it in a fan fiction maybe and then thought it worked well and now I've accepted it as fact...

Annabethdaughterofwisdom: Aw thank you x

Percabeth Jackson-Chase: Glad you like it :) what did you mean by "can't type worth Jack's shots"?

See you tomorrow, please donate your ideas to my poor creativity deprived brain. Coming up with something new every day is hard. *instert supernatural gif of 'writing is hard'" here*
