Percabeth Best Friend Oneshots

by booklover1616

These are one shots about Percabeth when they are still best friends, because I think there should be more focus on the time when Percabeth were best friends and not in a relationship. Usually set between SoM and BotL (but I'll try not to do spoilers, and will always include a warning). Rating… K plus? To be safe. This is my first fanfiction. All character rights to Rick Riordan.

11. Apollo

Here it is, ready for the release of Trials of Apollo! :)

Set between BOTL and TLO.

Percy's POV

I threw the drachma into the fountain. "Apollo, Mount Olympus."

I wondered if it was going to work. Surely the gods could decline Iris messages? But no, Apollo's face appeared in the mist.

"Sup, kid?" he inquired. I ignored him.

"You remember those archery lessons you once told me I could have? Well, I want them."

Apollo chuckled. "What's brought about this change of heart, eh?"

"The war with the Titans. I want to be able to use every weapon I can."

Apollo chuckled again. He had a really, really infuriating laugh. I wondered if I could somehow reach through the Iris message and strangle him… sorry. ADHD.

"Sure, kid." He replied. "I got nothing on. I'll pick you up in 5." And with that, he swiped through the Iris message.

Apollo's POV

I roared into Camp Halfblood. My entrance was awesome, like me. With light still radiating from me, and my awesome car, I called out, "Jackson! Get over here!" How dare he be late for the awesome me!

I composed a quick haiku as I waited.

'I am real awesome

Percy Jackson is real late

I am amazing'

Perfect! It even had the right amount of syllables!

Jackson slid into the passenger seat. He wasn't even puffing! "Why didn't you run?" I inquired angrily.

He didn't even answer - just rolled his eyes! The nerve!

"Do you want to hear this haiku I made up?"

"No."

How dare he! I made up that haiku for him, wasting the time of the awesome me! He was a annoying, stupid, not awes-

"Let's just go." He interrupted my mental rant. Grumbling, I revved the engine, and we took off into the sky.

Percy's POV

WHY (Get it? HAHAHA) did I want to do this again? Being up this high was not good for a son of the sea god.

"A little more towards your chin," Apollo instructed. Gritting my teeth, I did as he asked - I mean, I was here for a reason.

"A tiny bit to the left… and fire!" I let go of the string. The arrow shot towards the billboard sign… and hit it! I was elated (yup, Annabeth taught me that one). I hit something on only my 23rd try!

A few hits (and quite a few misses later, and it was getting dark.

"OK, can I go home now?" I asked.

"Sure, kid. But first let me tell you this haiku…"

Did you like it? Tell me what you thought in the comments!

PS. I'm sorry if there's a few grammatical mistakes, I really wanted to get this out for TOA.
