Carl Carter P.O.V

"Dr. Carter, your 3 o'clock is here." Shelly my sectary said, cracking my office door open a bit.

"Excellent, send him in." I said, prepping my tooth polisher.

"Just an FYI, he'll probably be a challenge." Shelly informed me, a slight smile rising on her face.

I shook my head in confusion, "I thought my 3 o'clock was the 18 year-old?" I asked while looking over at the chart.

Shelly shrugged, "oh the chart's not wrong. He's been trying to run out of here since he arrived ten minutes ago. He probably would have if it wasn't for his two friends."

"What kind of 18 year old is scared of the dentist?" I asked, laughing a bit.

Shelly chuckled, "I don't know, but you're about to find out."

And with that she closed the door, leaving me alone in my office.

I returned to cleaning my tools, bracing myself for the challenge I'd be facing in a few seconds.

Soon I heard some faint voices approaching the door.

"Awe come on Jason, my tooth feels fine!" one of the voices called.

"Percy we've been through this, you're getting it looked at." said a stern yet slightly amused voice.

"Frank help me out!" the voice cried.

"Sorry man, we promised Annabeth we'd make you get checked out." A third voice chimed in.

"This is a cruel and unfair punishment!" the boy's voice whelped as the door opened revealing three tall, muscular, teenaged boys.

The tallest one was a short hair blonde that had cold blue eyes and a small scar engraved above his top lip.

The boy next to him looked to be the youngest and the most built. He was part Chinese and had a dark black buzz cut.

They both had one arm clasped around tan arms that belonged to a lean muscular boy, who had wild black hair and frighten sea green eyes.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Carter." I said in a friendly tone.

The blonde and the Chinese boy smiled at me, trying to ignore the arm pulling from the third boy.

"Hey, I'm Jason," the blue eye teen said.

"This here is Frank," He indicated to the Chinese boy, who nodded at me.

"And this big baby is Percy." He said, pointing to the squirming green eyed boy.

"I see, doesn't seem to enjoy the dentist very much." I said, trying to lighten the mood.

"It's nothing against you doc, I'm not a big fan of medical stuff." Percy said, visibly uncomfortable.

I chuckled, "well, why don't you have a seat and I can see what's wrong with your teeth."

Percy shifted reluctantly; he looked like my five year old son who didn't want to go to bed yet.

"You know, my tooth feels a whole lot better. It was probably just a false alarm. Sorry to waste your time bu-"

"Percy Jackson, you get in that chair right now." Jason said forcibly.

Percy hung his head, grumbled something under his breath, and slumped down in the chair.

I rolled my chair over to his head, as his two friends sat down in the usual "parent" area.

"Okay, can you open nice and wide for me?" I said in the tone I usually use for kids a lot younger.

Percy opened his mouth wide, but edged his head back from my tooth pick.

"I'm going to need you to keep your head still." I said, trying to keep the annoyance out of my voice.

Percy winced and unwillingly kept his head still.

I moved my tooth pick and lip separator into his mouth, trying to get a clear look at all his teeth.

For someone who didn't like the dentist his teeth were surprisingly spotless. I couldn't really see anything majorly wrong with his mouth only that he needed to floss more.

I started to poke around but stopped when I got a girlish yelp and a thrashing arm flying near my face.

I backed up and set my instruments down, taking a second to watch the boys.

Percy sat there rubbing circles around the area I scraped as his two friends were laughing at his reaction.

"Just what I thought, you have a cavity." I said, picking up the paper file.

"A cavity? But, how…" Percy panicked a bit, probably because he was going to have to come back to get it fixed.

"I told you to cut back on the cookies." said Frank, while chuckling with Jason.

"I told you to cut back on the cookies." Percy mimicked his voice in annoyance.

I gave a slight laugh as I wrote down the information in the file.

"It's a small one, but you're going to have to come back in a few days to get it fixed." I said.

I could hear Percy groan loudly, as his friends continued to snicker.

"Oh gods, I knew this was a mistake." Percy sighed.

"I wouldn't call it a mistake. If I hadn't caught it, it would have grown and would take more time to fix." I said, while placing the file down.

"Pluto forbid!" gasped Frank, as Jason laughed even more.

His friends seem to be enjoying this an awful lot.

"Okay, well you can come back on Friday at 2 o'clock to get it fix." I said checking my appointments calendar.

"He'll be here, whether he wants to or not." said Jason as he rose from his seat.

Percy got up from his chair and grumbled "Yeah, sounds good."

All three got up and made their way to the door.

"I still can't believe that you're afraid of the dentist." Frank said as he opened the door.

"Now Frank, remember, he's not afraid of the dentist, he's afraid of medical stuff." Jason said, pushing the door open wider.

"Does that mean you're afraid of the doctor?" Frank asked hopefully.

"Yes." Percy said absentmindedly

"I mean, no, not at all." He tried to cover his mistake.

The two boys stopped to look at their friend.

"I think someone needs their annual checkup." Frank said smiling.

"I hate you." Percy said, and raced out of the door.

Frank and Jason laughed.

"Percy wait! We never get to see you like this! Let us cherish this moment!" Frank followed after his friend.

Jason stayed behind.

"Sorry about that." He said kindly.

He was clearly the more mature one.

I laughed, "Don't worry about it, have a nice night."

He smiled, "you too, see you Friday most likely."

He then turned and walked out of the room.

And that's how I found out that 18 year olds can still act like five year olds.

Sorry about the double Percyish ones. I don't know what I was really thinking with this one shot. Not my most prized.

Any who, I hoped you enjoyed it and sorry if it seemed sorta OOC…but, I always imaged Percy have a fear of medical occupations for some reason, and I wanted to include Jason and Frank seeing as how they haven't really been in this story yet.

So leave a review and let me know if you liked it :)
