Ah yes, the promised Chapter 10.
Again, apologies for lateness! ^^"
Enjoy!
To the 7: Who is most likely to become President?
Piper: Probably Jason. He's a great leader and has experience.
Jason: Piper could do it. She's great at convincing people, and not just with charmspeak. I'm sure she'd always do the right thing.
Leo: Me, obviously.
Percy: NO!
Annabeth: BY THE GODS, NO!
Hazel: PLEASE, NO!
Frank: ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Leo: What? Why not?
Annabeth: Your crazy inventions that usually almost get people killed!
Frank: Your inexplicable ability to annoy everyone around you!
Percy: Your insane, inane schemes-
Leo: Ok, ok, I get it! Jeez, you guys are harsh today...
Hazel: I would have to go with Annabeth, she's smart, witty, intelligent, clever...
Leo: You know those are all synonyms, right?
Hazel: Whatever, she'd be the perfect president. All of you would be perfect presidents! Except for Leo, of course.
Leo: *eye roll* Of course.
To the 7: Favorite food?
Percy: Blue cookies. And pizza, lots of pizza, with a side of freshly baked blue cookies. And some blue coke. Oh, and, did I mention blue cookies?
Annabeth: Calm down, Seaweed Brain. Mine would probably be the liquid fire from the Phlegethon! It's so delish!
Annabeth: Just kidding. I love cherries and most fruit smoothies, pretty much anything healthy and sweet, really.
Leo: Borrrrrring. Mine is tacos! Or my awesome tofu burgers. *flips hair like a pro*
Frank: Peach preserves, Esther's especially. Or maybe Chinese food, my grandmother could whip up the best soups.
Leo: Chinese people eat soup? I thought it was all just Orange Chicken and Chow Mein and stuff.
Hazel: Leo! That's American Chinese food. Anyway, I like lasagna and gumbo. They were both comfort foods my mom used to make...
Jason: I guess I would say blueberry muffins. Whenever Piper's nervous, her cornucopia just starts sprouting them like crazy. Once I asked Annabeth to give Piper that creepy death glare she does so that I could have extra muffins. I have a secret stash in my room.
Piper: You WHAT?! So that's what that was all about! You could've just asked for muffins instead of scaring me half to death!
Piper: Anyways, I loooove French croissants. The scent of melting butter... It soothes my soul...
Leo: Uh, yeah, moving on from that Croiper moment...
Jason: Croiper?
Leo: Yeah, Croissant + Piper. I totally ship it. Uh, no offense bro.
Jason: Croiper is not a thing. it's Jasper. Get it right.
Frank: Can we go back to talking about food or is it just going to be all about Croiper now?
Piper: Enough with Croiper! We're only friends!
Leo: I don't think the children of Aphrodite can love something and be just 'friends'.
15 Days 'Till Christmas!
Percabeth! (AU on yesterday)
"Hey Percy," Annabeth called, "Can you get me some fruit?"
It was dinner time at CHB, but the 25 year old daughter of Athena was busy working on the last few touches to the newly reconstructed Mount Olympus.
Her boyfriend simply grabbed a bright red apple and tossed it to her from across the pavilion, not even bothering to stop his conversation with Jason about the new wing of cabins.
Annabeth caught it, and all of the chattering demigods in the hall went silent.
"Um, Percy," she said nervously, "Didn't I tell you that that throwing an apple to a girl in Ancient Greece means a marriage proposal?"
Percy had a huge smile stretched across his face as he finally turned around.
"Of course, Wise Girl. Do you want the ring too?"
