Chapter 10: Leo

"What are they doing, brother?" Asked a voice that sounded suspiciousley like Tyson's.
"I don't know but, my sister is in a lot of trouble when she wakes up." That MUST be Percy. I shifted on the soft mat so that my forhead was touching Amber's. I put an arm on her waist.
"Oh, come on, Percy! Don't be a stick in the mud. Your sister is in LOVE." The soft voice of Piper came.
"I will nnot be a stick in the mud." Percy said as if hypnotzed and I heard Piper mutter a soft 'sorry', realizing she used her cursed charmspeak.
"I'm with Piper. I have lived with her since our mom's stomach. I've never seen her act his way. She's really happy. I mean she waas happy before but, I can see a glow coming off her when she's with Leo. She's been asked out by tons of guys- since third grade- and NEVER said yes to any boy OR girl." Said another voice. Alex, I thought. He's cool...
"Thanks and that must be from the Aphrodite blessing. I see it but, I asked other people if they do but they run off like I'm crazy." Said Piper. I couldn't take it anymore. I took my hand away from Amber and turned onto my back. I slowly opened my eyes and sat up.
"Hey, guys," I said, rubbing my eyes. "Since when were Amber and I popular?" I blinked a couple of times and looked down at my lap, which, felt unusually cold. My pajama pants weren't on. They were at... Amber had them. Amber had my pants. Had she or I taken them off or... The thought of thinking of it was impossible. Could we, have... NO! I shouted in my brain, Amber and I are- NO! My thoughts were interupted by a snicker. I went over to the window were the sound came from. I realized I was still without pants and... wearing... ugh- CANDY CANE KITTEN BOXERS!
I looked out the window, pretending not to notice the fact that I was wearing kittens and candy canes on my rear.
Outside. Was none ther than Conner and Travis Stoll with a pair of Hecate campers. They snickered again and Travis fell, clutching his stomach, pained from laughter. I lit my hand, rady to fire at them when I heard a light scream. I turned to see Amber on one end of the room and my pajama pants on the other, Amber panting heavily, staring at the pants with fright. I ran over to her but, she scooted away. She jabbed a finger at my pants, wide-eyed. I went over, got the pants and put them on. Amber calmed down and I walked back. Amber started crying, leaking salt-water.
"I didn't mean to... I-I j-just woke (sniff) up (sniff) and I was (double-sniff) holding y-your pjs. T-then I saw you in your cute kitten and candy cane boxers and realized what ha-hap-happened." She wiped her eyes and burried her face in my shoulder. I patted her back as she cried into my shirt. She stopped so, I got up and went back to the window where the pranksters were still laughing like hyenas.
"What did you do?" I asked, tapping my foot. The Hecate kids tried to make poker faces but broke out laughing. I stared at them in disbelief. Travis stood, holding his brother's shoulder.
"We (laugh) asked (snort) the Hecate kids (snort laugh) to (giggle) usemagictotakeyourantsoffandputtheminAmber'sarms!" More snorts and laughs from the twins. Giggles from the two Hecate girls.
"What?" I asked, not understanding what he said.
"We. Used. Magic. To. Take. Your. Pants. Off. And. Put. Them. In. Amber's. Arms!" One of the Hecate girls said and they all broke out laughing again. I closed the window so they won't be heard in the cabin and I turned on my heel to go back to the rest.
"Idiots," I muttered. I sat down on the couch next to Amber and put my arm around her. I kissed the top of her head and settled down to watch 'Polar Express'.

After the first movie finished, we finally decided to have breakfast. We sat down a table near the t.v. yet, not watching it. everyone's mind was on eating and opening presents. I sat, eating my whipped-creamed waffles. I took a bite, I stared into my Hot Cocoa. Cocoa. Coco. Hah! I'm in LOVE with the COCO. I must have been making a wierd face because Piper was staring at me from across the table.
"Is something wrong, Leo?" She asked. I stiffled a laugh, looking around to see who was sharing my love for cocoa. Percy. Perfect. I stared back into my Hot Cocoa and took a sip. "Leo? Are you okay?" I took another sip. Eeryone stared at me.
"I'M IN LOVE WITH THE COCO!" I blurted, taking more sips. All the girls rolled their eyes. Percy stood up, laughing, then, made a serious face.
"COCO! I AM ALSO IN LOVE WITH DAT FUNKY DAM COCO," He shouted and he poured his cocoa over his face. Annabeth looked up at him and then at Amber.
"We are dating idiots." Amber said. Annabeth nodded, both rolling their eyes. I noticed that Amber's eyes were half red, half green. As in Christmas.
"Amy is dressed for Christmas!" I shouted. "I'M IN LOVE WITH AMY AND DAT COCO, COCO," Everyone looked confused.
"WHO DA HELL IS AMY!?" Amber shouted, obviously madly confused, "WHO IN HADES IS THIS FRIGGIN' AMY?" I burst out laughing.
"YOU, ya dumbo," I said, playfully hitting her arm. "I'm giving you the nickname Amy Foam." She reddened
"Why foam?" She asked. "I like simply Amy if anything. And I don't even like it. And also, of course I'm dressed for Christmas."
"Your eyes are half red, half green." I said like it was obvious and gulped down the rest of my cocoa.
