PLEASE READ THE A/N AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CHAPTER! Thank you! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson. :(
Annabeth got the note too.
She got that slip of paper that had the TB3 information on it, but she only realized that there was a note attached when she got home and actually looked at it.
'Wise Girl :),
See you!
-Seaweed Brain/Kelp head'
Just those few words made Annabeth want to burst out in tears. It wasn't fair.
But Annabeth had to give The Big Three credit; they did an awesome job of surprising everyone. Except for Piper. Piper was smirking when she read hers. SHe also had a note, Annabeth rrealized. Why did Piper have a note? She thought back to before Percy had left their house, way back when Piper had pulled him into the kitchen and left Annabeth to wonder what they had been talking about.
By any chance, was that what Piper's note had been about? Annabeth quickly shook the thought out of her head. Piper would've told her if anything had been going on.
But still...
Annabeth shook her head, sighed, and continued working on her history essay. Life was just so confusing sometimes.
(A/N: Here you go, Calefe!)
Even though Percy had a reason for his nervousness, Nico was just as nervous.
You couldn't really expect him to not be nervous, could you? His cousin and best friend was going to ask a girl out in front of thousands of screaming fans. If anything, that was nerve racking to just watch, much less be a part of.
"Oh gods, oh gods, oh gods, oh go-" Percy paced.
"Shut it, Kelp Head! Piper's going to be here soon!" Thalia snapped, checking her phone. "Ha! Look, Piper said 'will b there in 5!' She's coming."
"I know, it's just-"Percy pulled at his hair. "I've never done anything like this ever before."
Thalia's gaze softened and Nico started to feel a little bad for his older cousin.
"You know," He stated quietly. "There cant really be a negative outcome. You heard her say it herself. Annabeth likes you."
"Well yeah, but-" Percy argued.
"Percy, everybody has their moments." Thalia said, standing up. Nico stood and joined her. Percy seemed to almost shrink under his female cousins gaze. "You're no different. It's in the job description of being a teenager, remember?"
"Well yeah. But nothing like this was in my contract when I signed it!" Percy answered. All of a sudden, Nico felt like laughing.
"Perce, that's because what you're doing is against your contract. You know that, so stop trying to come up with excuses."
"Y-Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right."
Thalia spread her arms out in confusion. "I've been trying to tell you that for the past ten minutes! Why do you listen to him when he says it, but not me?"
The doorbell rang just as Percy smirked. "Because Nico's actually persuasive." Then he slipped out the door before Thalia count counter what he said.
She turned to Nico and huffed in annoyance. "You're lucky you're cute." She ruffled his hair and Nico tried to swat her away. "Anyway, thanks for slapping some sense into him. He really needed it."
Nico nodded. "Yeah. He did. only I didn't slap him. I jus told him-"
"Blah blah blah, we get it we get it we get it, Piper's here." Percy entered the room again.
"That was fast." Nico nodded at Piper in greeting. "Thanks for coming. Percy here was going crazy."
"Shut up." They all laughed.
"Oh, it's fine. Anything for Annabeth. She became a completely different person while you were here. No longer completely worked up in her studies or anything. You guys are miracles!"
"Okay. Now tell us something we don't know." Thalia smirked. Then she turned to Percy. "I'd kill you right now, but," She lookeda t Piper and Nico. "I don't want to have any witnesses around.
"If you killed me, you'd be imprisoned for lie. We're about as important as... someone important."
Que more laughing.
"Okay!" Nico interrupted. "We gathered here for a reason. Now, Piper, we will tell you this reason and you can-"
"Jeez, Nico. We're not in a fancy meeting with the president." Thalia interrupted. Nico settled his Death Glare on her and she fidgeted nervously. Nico felt a sense of pride knowing that he could do that to his older cousin.
"Okay, so we invited you here to help us prepare. Should we write a song to play and sing when we walk in, or should we just slip in and dance to whatever song is playing, or should we just use someone else's song?" Percy asked.
"I personally say that you should write a song, but it's defiantly your choice! Just a written song is a lot more romantic for a girl, and if you were to actually make it a real song, she would feel so honored and special. It'd be perfect." Piper answered, smiling slightly.
"Okay. Thank you! Do you think that you could help us write and sing it? It would be awesome to get help from a love expert!" Percy pleaded. "Please?"
Piper rolled her eyes, smiling. "Fine. But I don't know if my voice is nearly as good as yours is." She answered after a few seconds.
"Let's get writing!"
"You should write a song that tells her how much you like and love her." Piper sighed after twenty minutes of nothing but crumpled up pieces of paper in a trash can. "But without directly saying it"
"But what does that mean? I've never had a writers block this big!" Percy complained, hands on his head.
"I'm hurting, baby, I'm broken down
I need your loving, loving, I need it now." Nico hummed softly. His eyes widened and he wrote it down. I might be on to something...
"What was that, Nico?" Thalia asked, turning towards the younger boy.
Nico repeated the words to his friends. Piper and Percy grinned. Thalia smirked.
"When I'm without you
I'm something weak." Thalia continued. Percy snapped his fingers as Thalia took the paper that Nico had write on and added the words.
"You got me begging
Begging, I'm on my knees." Percy added on. Piper's eyes widened as she realized where that was going.
"I don't wanna be needing your love
I just wanna be deep in your love
And it's killing me when you're away
Ooh, baby" She nodded along.
"Cause I really don't care where you are
I just wanna be there where you are
And I gotta get one little taste." Percy nodded. "Nico, this is brilliant! Thank you!"
Even while in bed, drifting off to sleep, Nico was humming the words of their new song.
"Your sugar
Yes, please
Won't you come and put it down on me
I'm right here, 'cause I need
Little love and little sympathy."
