me no own.
the campers looked up to see the roman legion coming up in the distance. The seven and the cabin counselors went to greet them and explained their situation. Octavian (no duh) seemed a bit (a lot) doubtful of this (no duh), but seeing as this was his normal behavior no one actually took much notice of this.
once they arrived back at the big house Percy asked Reyna if she wanted to choose what story to check out next since most of the romans hadnt been there for any of the previous stories. Reyna accepted and began to skim through the options, suddenly she smirked and whispered something in percy's ear, pointing at the screen, he followed her gaze and smirked too. He cleared his throat.
"umm... rachel... could you... umm... go and umm show octavian some oracle stuff?"
he sent her a pleading look and she sent him back a you-owe-me-big-time look.
"sure... follow me octopus"
octavian blushed and followed rachel out looking not quite so sullen. some people snickered. once they were out reyna read the name of the fic causing people to fall into full on laughter.
"wow i didnt know you had a sense of humor Rey!" Leo laughedas Reyna blushed slightly and smacked him."
The aphrodite cabin exchanged mischevious smiles.
1. Duct Tape, simple as that.
"yeah! Duct tape rules!
"we present duct tape! the ultimate demigod tool!" needles to say those who spoke got smacked.
"Are you sure this'll work?" Percy
Cue glare from Annabeth while Percy sent her an innocent smile, needless to say she melted for it
asked Leo.
Cue glare from Reyna to Leo, who tried Percy's move and got smacked
"Duct tape can do anything, just watch."
the two duct tape lovers in the audience nodded in agreement.
Leo replied as he pulled out a strip. He handed a roll to Jason
piper huffed at jason who peeked out of her hair then sunk back into it,
, one to Annabeth,
percy shook his finger at her
"Hypocrite" the stolls mumbled
they might not be able to sit for a week... or ever...
a roll to Piper
jason sent her a smug smile from her hair.
and lastly one to Percy.
annabeth sighed knowing she couldnt complain anymore
"Leo are you sure this is a good Idea?"
"if Leo came up with it then im sure that is not a good idea... Leo's ideas are normally not the best"
Leo pretended to look hurt
Piper asked looking at the sleeping person in front or them.
"Ambush him!"
cue groaning at immatureness
Leo shrugged, "why not? He's asleep; he'll never know it was us."
"dude, he is the augur"
jason reasoned
"a pretty bad augur"
leo shot back
He placed the strip over Octavian's mouth, just in case he did wake up.
good. you dont know if he will wake up... paranoid octavians are generally light sleepers"
"I have a great idea guys!" Percy
"NO! dont listen to percy's great ideas! they generally get us all nearly killed!"
there was many nods of agreement, percy pouted.
whispered, "let's tape him to the wall!"
the stolls smirked.
Jason laughed, "Percy, you're a genius."
percy's close friends were dumbfounded.
Percy lifted Octavian, who was still asleep, over his shoulder and held him up against the wall.
"i wonder how octavian is still asleep..."
percy wondered
His feet were a few feet off the ground so if did come undone he would fall a bit first.
"so what if he falls? he cant look any worse than he already looks!"
this brought a round of laughter.
"Guys hurry up and tape him; he's pretty heavy for a stick."
Leo looked confused at this "Octavian is not a stick... he is a teddy bear gutting half human being!"
piper smacked him upside the head in hopes it would help him get some sense but it probably just killed a few of his brain cells.
Percy muttered, Annabeth laughed.
"Are you going wimpy on me Seaweed Brain?"
"hey! im not wimpy!"
"of course you arent seaweed brain
Annabeth teased, she pulled off a long strip and placed it over Octavian's shoulders.
"why on his shoulders?"
annabeth shrugged pondering on the answer.
The other half-bloods placed duct tape all over him
the two duct tape addicts grinned crazily, people backed away from them.
until he could stay stuck to the wall without Percy holding him.
"GO duct tape!"
"It's weird how he hasn't woken up,"
my point exactly!"
Piper said
"hey perce! you think like pipes!"
percy slapped leo and piper glared at percy.
"how is that a bad thing!"
rayna quickly read on
while placing another piece over his hand.
"more duct tape!MORE!"
everyone was a little scared by now.
"We might have paid the Morpheus kids a bit of extra money so he would have a deep sleep…"
"oh that explains a lot"
Leo said, "or we could have drugged him."
or maybe not..."
"If he waked up we're so screwed." Jason said though he was admiring their work.
"i would admire it too... i really want to duct tape octavian"
the two creepy duct tapers nodded fiddling with something donut shaped and silver... can you guess what it was?
"This'll take forever to get off him!" Percy laughed.
"thats not nice percy!" annabeth pushed hisshoulder playfully
"Since when did you enjoy pranks so much?"
since he started spending time with us"
"besides who doesnt?"
whispered connor and travis
Annabeth asked with an eyebrow raised.
Percy grinned, "Who doesn't?
connor fist pumped
Plus before I was kidnapped I spent a lot of time with the Stolls."
travis high fived connor
Leo started shoving what was left of the duct tape
the duct tapers giggled and everyone had half a mind to run away and never come close to the tapers... ever...
in a bag. He pretended to clap invisible dust off of his hands. "See, I told you guys. Duct tape can do anything."
"yes it can!"
"dude we should totally make a cheer for duct tape"
Everyone stepped back and took a look at their work; Octavian was covered head to toe in silver tape.
some smiled at the mental image
the two creeps smled at the thought of a duct tape person
His head was hanging limply, and he was still asleep.
some looked awed
"I guess duct tape can do anything."
"yes it can!" cue fist pump
before anyone could send wierd looks that way they heard rachel blabbing about stuff and quickly wrote down the name closing the tab
phew glad thats done... i have nothing against duct tape obsessed people though!
