Prompt from sonofthetrigod: Nico and Percy chase after an ice cream truck while riding Blackjack, who they forget can fly
A/N: Sorry this broke my record of at least one chapter a week. My word document with the prompts/drafts wouldn't open due to some strange reasons that word isn't actually telling me except for "word can't open this document." So I had to rewrite everything and ugh. That combined with my AP work– not fun. Anyway, here's a chapter!
The audio starts with wind whipping from all around, with the faint melody that is synonymous with ice cream trucks, and there is a slightly angry sounding conversation in the background over the clopclop-clopclop-clopclop of hooves.
"This is taking too long!"
"Nico, it's an ice cream truck being driven by Stymphalian birds, and I don't know if you've noticed, but they don't obey speed limits and we're on a freaking horse!"
"Hey!" came the familiar voice of Blackjack, "What did I say about callin' me a horse? And with that tone? C'mon, Boss."
"Can't he go any faster?" Nico yells, voice distorted from the wind.
"Get a reality check, Speedy Gonzales. I'm a Pegasus, not a Hennessy Venom!"
"A what?"
"Wait!"
The sound of the wind stopped suddenly, and Nico gave a slight choking noise and a breathless "I think the reins just cut my intestines in half".
"He's a Pegasus! Nico, we can fly!"
"Well–" the wind picked up, "… with a toothpick. Can the ice cream truck fly too?"
"I– What? I don't think so? Blackjack, fly after the ice cream truck!"
"Whatever you say, Boss."
