Hey guys. I'm Back! My phone has this weird glitch, so i stopped being able to post on it. This is for Perse, who suggested Keith and Pidge as Percy and Annabeth in Taurtaurus. Plz review.
Pidge decided the Galra wouldn't kill her. Neither would the poisonous atmosphere, nor the treacherous landscape with its pits, cliffs, and jagged rocks.
Nope. Most likely she would die from an overload of weirdness that would make her brain explode.
First, she and Keith had to pretend to be galra to stay alive. Then they were attacked by a gaggle of sentries, led by a druid Pidge had fought 2 months ago. Finally, they were rescued by a Galra janitor named named Bob who had purple Einstein hair, yellow eyes, and wicked broom skills.
Sure. Why not?
They followed Bob through the wasteland, tracing the route of a sentry as they approached the secret command center. Every so often they stopped in the shadows, which kept them alive, but Pidge wasn't happy about it. The toxic air made her throat feel like she was constantly gargling with battery acid.
Her only comfort was Keith. Every so often he would glance over and smile,or squeeze her hand. He had to be just as scared and miserable as she was, and she loved him for trying to make her feel better.
"I'm sure Bob knows what he's doing," Keith promised.
"We meet the most interesting people," Pidge murmured sarcastically.
"I am rather interesting!" The Galra turned and grinned. "Thank you for noticing!"
The big guy had good ears. Pidge would have to remember that.
"So Bob…" She tried to sound casual and friendly, which wasn't easy for her. "Why did you decide to help us?"
"You were in trouble," he said, like it was obvious.
"You betrayed your entire race," she said, "Because we called for help?"
"You needed me." Those yellow eyes shone through the darkness. "It's okay. I was tired of sweeping the command center anyway. Come along! We are almost at a rest stop."
A rest stop.
Pidge couldn't imagine what those words meant to the galra. She remembered all the times she and Matt relied on highway rest stops when they were on family road trips and couldn't stand being in the same car for another second.
Wherever Bob was taking them, she hoped it had clean restrooms and a snack machine. She repressed the giggles. Yes, she was definitely losing it.
