WTF chapter 5
Ncalkins dose not own Percy Jackson; OOC; Thanks beta Zohan
Percy's eyes fluttered open to a empty cabin thinking it was all a dream until she found a suitcase on the ground…and by found I mean tripped over it and face planted on the floor.
"Son of a bitch, who the hell puts a suite case in the middle of the floor?! Oooww that hurt!" Grumbled Percy as she got up to get dressed. Over at the big house Poseidon, Zeus, Apollo, Hermes, Hades, Dionysus, Chiron and Luke were playing pinochle. When out of nowhere Poseidon scratched the back of his head and said "oops." earning some weird looks.
Anyway, back to Percy.
Seeing as it was the gods first day here they decided that it would be a free day.
'How they decide on anything I will never know.' thought Percy as she lugged a wagon full of soap, shampoo and some sponges. Not looking were she was going she ran into Nico who was taking a walk when he saw her. As Nico walked toward her he took in what she was wearing: a black T-shirt, dark blue jeans and running shoes.
"Hey Percy what are you doing?" He asked, looking at the wagon in confused, then looking at Percy and getting lost in her big green/blue eyes.
Percy looked up at Nico, taking in what she saw since the spell to make him look fifteen changed his appearance. He had shoulder length hair, black eyes, taller then her ( Which kind of irked her), and lean muscle throughout his body. What he was wearing a black T-shirt with a skull on it, black pants and black shoes.
"Going to wash Mrs. O'Leary its been awhile since she had a bath." said Percy "Do you want to help?" she asked, assuming the answer would be no.
"The hell hound? Sure why not." said Nico, shrugging.
Not noticing Percy's shocked look. Percy's face broke out into a smile that made Nico's heart flutter and stomach twist.
' Anything that happens is worth seeing that smile on her face, Nico thought as he fallowed Percy to the training ground were Mrs. O'Leary was held.
Percy gave a sharp whistle and with a sudden thump, Mrs. O'Leary was in front of them barking joyfully, tail wagging and licking them from head to toe in greeting.
Nico, coughing and sputtering, exclaimed:
"NO! Mrs. O'Leary, down, sit!"
Mrs. O'Leary immediately sat, Percy realizing there was no kisses of death from Mrs. O'Leary opened her eyes and looked at Nico in amazement.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" He asked, seeing that he was being watched.
"No, no, no, it's just that it takes hours to get her to calm down when it's just me. But with you she immediately sat," Percy said shaking her head rapidly at first the looking at Nico again in wonder. Nico, getting embarrassed by the staring, said:
"Son of Hades remember? Most of the time the underworld creatures listen to me."
Percy nodded and they began to get to work first by wetting the hellhound with water from Percy. Soaping the sponges, Nico and Percy got to soaping up Mrs. O'Leary which was a chore because she wouldn't sit still. Finally after lots of screaming, 'sits!' and almost getting sat on, it was time for the rinse.
When it was all over Mrs. O'Leary was soaked and so was Nico, who had be laughed at by Percy for being wet. Mrs. O'Leary stood up. Nico looked up and realized she was going to do what all dogs do when wet…shake.
'oh no…' thought Nico a look of pure horror on his face stared at Mrs. O'Leary as she was getting ready. Percy had her back turned and was not thinking about being dry got soaked after Mrs. O'Leary shook she self dry. Nico busted out laughing at Percy doing a horrible impression of her:
"OH look I'm the son turned daughter of the sea God I can't get wet. What now!" Throwing his arms in the air at the last part, about to say more but got distracted by Percy who's black shirt was cling to her and water on her skin making her look aglow. Mrs. O'Leary raised her head from the ground she was laying on and looked at Nico sniffing the air ' Is it mating season already?' she wondered then shrugged it off and went to sleep. Percy turned to Nico and said:
"We smell like wet dog. Lets take a shower and meet at the beach." Percy turned and walked off leaving a red faced Nico behind.
'That's not what she meant… BAD THOUGHTS! BAD THOUGHTS!' Nico thought as he fallowed her trying to stop a nose bleed. The wind picked up and his sent was carried to Mrs. O'Leary, who opened one eye and growled "Oh ya its defiantly mating season for that little one hehehe." freaking out some campers who wanted to train but thought better of it.
Later at the beach Nico and Percy were sitting on a sand doom talking when the question that has been bugging Nico popped up.
"Hey Percy why were you so depressed at dinner last night?" asked Nico with a concerned expression. Percy's shoulder sagged and she looked out to the ocean opened her mouth to answer:
"Well I noticed that Poseidon wouldn't make eye contact with me. I think he's ashamed that I got turned into a girl." Eyes began to water as Percy answered Nico. Nico looked at Percy who seemed to be in pain was filled with undeniable fury.' How dare he hurt my angel… wait what? My angel were that come from?' Nico thought but shook his head and laid a comforting hand on Percy's shoulder and said:
"No way could he be ashamed of you. Your great one of the best fighters and your nice. You help myth monsters out, you excepted one as you brother, and you don't kill people and make a shrine of there bones to him. If he isn't proud of you, and if you ever feel alone know I'll always be there for you." Percy turned to Nico and smiled wiping tears from her eyes.
"Thank you Nico." said Percy then not thinking of what she was doing pecked Nico on the cheek. Realizing what happened both blushed a deep red, Nico turned his head toward Percy. They started to lean in closer and closer only a inch of space left between their lips, eyes half way close when suddenly. "HEY! NICO! COME ON ITS ALMOST TIME FOR DINNER! YOU NEED TO MEET UP WITH HADES AND THE HERMES CABIN!" Nico and Percy jerked away from each other and blushing Nico stammered:
"I-I-I- got-t go. Travis calls hehe." getting up he left Percy for the big house and he wasn't the only one who was cursing Travis. Annabeth who had seen the whole thing raced back to the big house before Nico got there knowing he would want hot chocolate before dinner. Annabeth barley reached the big house in time to sit down and catch her breath, earning some weird looks from the pinochle players. Nico walked in and started making hot chocolate a slight blush on his face, Luke seeing this blush decided to tease him.
"Aww! What's with the blush Nico? Did you do something embarrassing or did you kiss someone." Nico turned and gave him a glare worthy of Hades that made Luke flinch slightly. Nico silently walked out with the stares of several people on his back, Chiron noticing Annabeth's smile of I know something you don't know! asked:
"Annabeth do you know why Nico is acting so strange?" Annabeth giggled and said:
"Yes, Chiron I know see Nico and Percy were down by the lake. Percy kissed Nico on the cheek and they almost kissed for real then Travis Strool interrupted them." she finished with a slight peeved tone at the end. Hearing this the Gods hand tightened into fist, Luke settable for glaring at the door.
At Percy's house Paul was drinking a cup of coffee for his night shifted. When there was a blinding light, a rush of waves, a earthquake, and a mail man screaming "MY MAIL!" Paul got up and looked out the window to see a smoldering hole, a crack in the ground, water in the street like a flood just happened, a mail man running around trying to grab scattered mail, people acting like animals and grape vines going up the buildings. Paul dumped his coffee into the kitchen sink saying.
"It's to early for this shit. I'm calling into work and going back to bed." Sally popped her head into the kitchen and asked:
"Honey what was that?" Paul answered "Nothing Honey, but I staying home."
