Me: :) Thank you so much for the reviews guys! Wasn't expecting May to be received very well...
This is: Give Up
I don't own PJO.

"Just give up, G-man! There is no way you can beat me at this!" Percy bragged, his face free of stress for once.
I narrowed my eyes and stuck my tounge out at him. "Of course I can! You're just scared." I taunted before quickly pulling my attention back to the game.
Race of the Venti.* Now there was a (semi)violent game I could actually enjoy. 20 car race. It didn't hurt that some of them were loaded with things that blew other things up.
And of course, my last comment made Percy scrunch up his nose in disbelief. As if the universe was in my favor, I pulled ahead of the first place car (Percy) on the last lap.
Come on...
"Yes!" I crowed jumping up in victory. Percy rolled his eyes, but patted me on the back when I sat back down.
"Good job. Now lets see if you can do that twice." he told me, a small smirk on his face as the next track took place on the screen. I groaned as I saw it was Percy's favorite track.
"Giving up sounds like a good idea right now..."
"Are you kidding me? Right when you finally beat me? No! Pick up your controller so I can press play."
"And laugh as you end up crushing me to pieces." I muttered, but picked up the controller with a sigh.
Percy didn't even try to deny it. He just patted my back again as we waited for the countdown to end.
I winced when a missile hit my car and my car was disqualified. I looked over at Percy, prepared to see his knowing smirk on his face. Instead, I saw how he was completely entranced in the game, not even blinking.
But he was also far more relaxed then I had seen him in months.
And that reminded me why I was taking a day off from being Lord Underwood and just hanging out like a normal mortal with my best friend.
Because that what best friends did for each other.
"Win. I see that you got disqualified awhile back, G-man. Terribly sorry about that."
"That grin says otherwise."
"Oh that hurt. Are you saying that you don't trust me?"
"Well..."
"Grover!" Percy yelled in mock outrage.
I laughed. "I trust you with my life, Perce. Just not when it comes to video-game victories."
"Good to know. I am assuming this means no round... whatever number we're on?"
"What? And give up now after being smushed many times? No way."
"I thought so. Round number I don't know, may begin." Percy told me selecting the next course.
It looked like I was going to be here awhile.

Me: Thoughts?
*I have no idea if that is a real game or not. If it is- cool. I don't own. If it isn't- okay. Perhaps I do own. Oh, and it's the Italian version of Venti. Not the Latin.
Side question: Have any of you guys ever been to Percy Jackson Character's Wikipedia? I know, I know, "Wikipedia lies". Still. I now know names! (Although Matthew and Bobby were not mentioned. I wonder if they will ever get the knowledge of their existence they deserve...)
Also: This is proof that this story is 'General' instead of Romance/Angst. I just love the best friend vibe Percy and Grover have at little moments of the series.
