Her New Life
Chapter III
Hey… You guys probably hate me for not updating in a decade, but my lap top got confiscated by my dad because I was on it so much and I don't have Microsoft on my computer, but now I do!
Just to get it out of the way. A Guest asked me if this was a Nancy/Percy story or an Annabeth/Percy story. People! Can you imagine the sight of Nancy and Percy together without throwing up? I certainly can't. To simplify, this is a PERCY/ANNABETH story! Anyone who has read my profile would know that I am a total Percabeth shipper. I can't stand the idea of them with someone else. Nancy just has a crush on Percy. She will stay single throughout the whole story unless you guys want her to end up with someone.
Okay, here's the thing. Last time, there were 3 winners originally, but only 1 of them replied back, so I had no choice but to take the prize from the 1 winners that didn't reply and give it to someone else. I am so, so, so, so sorry!
So, the winners are…
Taffeh. A. Llama. And Cole Anthony Daniels (You have to explain your pen name to me. It cracks me up.)
Froggylover4281 and Emilia Marie Lovivet (It was nice talking to you again!)
mythologyrox and Lucia Mercedes (Damn, I want one of those…)
Okay, here are the winners! Now, to the story!
Disclaimer: If I owned the PJO and HoO series, Hera would have had tomatoes thrown at her, but since she's tomato free, that says something doesn't it.
~Hey! What are you looking at! I know I'm a gorgeous line breaker, but I'm in a rush! ~
Last Time on Her New Life
"Oh, okay then. Have fun Nancy!" Kara shouted. A few minutes later, Nancy, Percy, and his friends were the only ones left at the pool. Percy was still shirtless. Nancy couldn't help, but stare.
"I would really appreciated if you didn't stare at my boyfriend like that," Annabeth piped up. Percy had a smug smirk on his face.
"You jealous, Wise Girl?" Annabeth looked a bit flustered.
"Jealous of what?"
"Please you're enjoying the view," Percy said, flexing his muscles. Nancy started to drool. She wanted so badly for Percy to wrap her in a tight embrace with those arms.
"What view," Annabeth retorted.
"C'mon babe, you love the muscles."
"Again. What muscles?"
"Ouch, that hurt." He feigned a hurt expression and put his hand on his heart.
"It was meant to, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth sighed and rolled her eyes.
"You're cute." Annabeth gave him a peck on the cheek, but Percy turned his head and captured her lips.
"My eyes! Ahh! They burn!" Travis yelled and doubled over. Percy separated from Annabeth and glared at him. Katie pulled on his ears.
"Don't be a drama queen. That's Nico's job."
"Hey! I am not a drama queen! If anything, I'm the drama king!" Nico yelled indignity.
"Whatever Death Berry," Percy replied. He went into the locker rooms. "I'm gonna change!"
"Death Berry? Huh, that's a new one," Nico muttered.
"Okay. I can't take it anymore! What am I doing here?" Nancy exploded. They all stared at her.
"Oh, about that. Um, how do we explain this," Camille stuttered nervously. Jacob shrugged.
"Uh…" Travis trailed off. He looked to his brother who started whistling absentmindedly.
"It's, uh, complicated, I guess…" Katie muttered.
"How do we tell a, uh, how old are you again?" Nico asked.
"16. Turning 17 in a couple of weeks," Nancy muttered with her head cocked to the side. She wondered why he wanted to know.
"Uh, right. How do you explain to a 16 year old turn 17 in a couple of weeks that there are monsters out to kill her?" Nancy looked at Nico liked her grew another head.
"What the hell are you talking about? Monsters? What are you, 5?"
"Look Nancy. You're a demigod," Annabeth told her with a serious expression. Nancy burst out laughing.
"Oh, that's rich! I'm a demigod! What's next? Percy saved the world?" Nancy continued laughing.
"Oh, the irony in that sentence," Katie muttered to Travis and Conner.
~I'm Bob, the new line breaker. Don't tell anyone, but I don't think Jackie is very good at names…~
"Look Nancy, I know it's hard to believe, but it's true, all those Greek 'myths'. You have to believe us. It's our life. It's horrible, but it's reality," Annabeth said with a bit of sympathy.
"No! There's no way! This all a prank! A lie!" Nancy furiously shook her head.
"I wish," Conner muttered to Travis who nodded in agreement. Percy sighed. Nancy blinked a couple of times. How did he shower and dry so fast? Never mind that, he looked so damn good in his plain white v-neck.
"Look, as much as I hate the idea of having to be the same thing as you," Nancy flinched. "It's true! The monsters, the heroes, the gods… Okay, maybe some of them are lies like Hercules being an actual hero or Circe turning men into pigs. Oh wait, that's partially true. Circe did turn them into pigs before, but now its guinea pigs…" Percy trailed off completely off topic. Curse ADHD. Camille let out a fake cough to get Percy's attention and stop his muttering about pirates, guinea pigs, and a hot Annabeth.
"Perseus Jackson, get that ADHD mind of yours on track! Its bad enough I have to listen to your muttering about how Annabeth is so hot or how her hair is so silky and smell like lemons, or how sexy she looks when she's mad, or-"Percy clamped his hand over Camille's mouth. His face was flushed along with Annabeth's, though she and everybody else had an amused expression.
"Care to explain Perseus?" Annabeth asked with a raised eyebrow. Percy flinched at the use of his full name before muttering an incoherent string of curses and excuses.
"Um, we're still trying to convince Freckles over here that she's a demigod." Nico pointed out.
"What did you call me?" Nancy threatened. Nico gave a nonchalant shrug.
"Freckles. It seems fitting." Everyone snickered. Nancy thought she heard someone choke out something about spray on Cheetos.
"Whatever. You guys are mentally unstable!"
"Can't argue with that logic," Travis coughed. Everyone tried to stifle their giggles. Nancy glared at everyone.
"So, let's say that these fake gods are real," thunder boomed in the distance. "Prove it to me."
"Is that all? Okay, I'll start. I'm Katie Gardner, daughter of Demeter." Katie then caused some of the nearby plants to grow rapidly.
"Okay, now us! I'm Conner and he's Travis!" The shorter twin exclaimed.
"Are you sure dear brother? Maybe it's I who is Conner and you are Travis." Katie rolled her eyes.
"Don't try anything Travis," she then turned to Nancy. "They're not twins. Conner is a whole year younger, though Travis is a whole lot stupider."
"Katie-Kat, that's mean!" Travis pouted.
"It's true Stoll and don't call me Katie-Kat!"
"Aw, but babe, you know you love it," Travis winked.
"Puh-lease, spare me, there's nothing to love," Katie retorted. Travis opened his mouth to answer when Conner interrupted.
"Ta-da!" He produced a red wallet out of thin air and took $50 dollars out of it. He then looked at the money, then Nancy, and back to the money. "Damn, if I knew you had this much on you, I would've done that sooner.
"What? Hey! That's my wallet! Give it back!" Nancy cried, reaching over to snatch her wallet back, bit Conner jumped out of the way.
"Nope, you're going to have to take it back," Conner smirked. "Ahem, Conner Stoll, the ever brilliant son of Hermes at your service… for a couple drachmas, that is!"
"And, Travis Stoll, but all of my friends call me Travis. The genius son of Hermes despite what Katie-Kat says!" Travis beamed and purposely ignoring the glare Katie shot at him.
"Jacob Anderson, son of Apollo with a sore throat and cranky attitude at the moment." Jacob rasped. He had an annoyed expression and everyone stepped a considerable distance away from him when he said cranky attitude.
"Di Angelo, Nico di Angelo," Nico smirked while everyone face palmed at his James Bond intro. "I am the son of Hades." He then took out his stygian sword from nowhere and pointed to the ground. "Serve me!" He commanded and skeletons started clawing their way to the world of living. Nancy almost pissed her pants when she saw them.
"Nico, you're scaring the poor girl!" Camille scolded. She then turned to Nancy. "Then again… You're expression was so gods damn hilarious!" She started giggling. "Camille Hayden, daughter of Poseidon!" She started giggling again. Everyone turned to Jacob for answers and he held up his iPhone 4S and showed them the video of Mr. Bean's performance at the Olympics. The others started giggling obviously having seen the video before and remembering it's hilarity.
"Eh, if Camille's introduced herself, I guess I should too. Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon and Hero of Olympus." Camille snapped her finger and a wave rose out of the pool and headed towards Percy. Percy raised his hand and the wave stopped seconds before it would crash into him and receded back into the pool.
"Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena and official Architect of Olympus. I can't really show you anything now, but it's Friday, so you'll get to see my plan put into action for Capture the Flag."
Nancy's eyes were the size of dinner plates and her jaw had long smashed through the tile floor and was probably in the Underworld by now. She had considerably paled, but not too much to be considered sick. She was as still as one of Medusa's statues. When Conner waved one of his hands in front of her face, her eyes rolled to the back of her head, her jaw slackened, and she did the first thing her brain told her to do.
She fainted.
~Oh la la! Bonjour, I'm Mindy, the French line breaker! Don't mind me; I'm just on my way to Brunch! ~
Okay, I know Nancy was supposed to arrive at Camp Half-Blood and everything, but this was more of a filler chapter. Look on the bright side, it was sort of funny.
