This is going to be a series of one-shots, as mentioned in the summary. Most of them are based on stupid quotes I hear or awkward moments I think of. It is for humor, so I'll try to avoid any romance, unless it's like a romantic comedy thing. I'll end up doing a lot of different couplings, if I do do them. Just a warning on that.

Alright, so here's chapter one.

Of Slinky and Boredom

"I'm so bored!" Thalia whined. She looked around cabin three, everything being upside down. "I thought that Artemis giving me the month off was supposed to me we'd have fun!" She turned her head to Percy. "Why are you so boring? And why am I feeling dizzy?"

"You're dizzy because you are upside down on the bed," Annabeth said from Percy's bunk, where she was sitting beside Percy.

"I'm not boring, Thalia," Percy piped in, answering her other question. "There's just nothing to do around here besides train."

"Unless you're the Stoll brothers," Annabeth added.

Thalia tried to nod, only to flip from the bed and onto the floor. "Unless you're the Stoll brothers," she lifted her head. "Ahh!" Thalia gripped her head as the blood rushed out of it. "That hurts like Hades!"

"Don't bring my dad into this!" Nico said from the swirly chair across the room. He began to spin. "This is fun." He grinned.

"Idiot!" Thalia tossed a pillow at his head.

The pillow hit Nico and sent him tumbling off the chair, onto the ground. "Hey!" The son of the death lord complained. "What did I do?"

"You were born," Percy laughed. Annabeth glared at him. "I'm just kidding!" He held his hands up in defense at his girlfriend's glare.

"Hey, did you guys play with Slinkys when you were kids?" Nico asked from where he was laying on the floor.

"What did you say death breath?" Thalia walked to stand over him.

"Slinkys," Nico repeated. "Did you guys ever play with them?"

"A what?" Thalia asked. Nico didn't say anything. Thalia turned to Annabeth. "A what?" She repeated.

"A Slinky is a toy made from a flexible 90-turn spring with a 2-3/4 inch diameter," Annabeth said, a walking dictionary she was. "They were invented in 1943."

"You mean the things that we throw down stairs?" Percy asked her.

Annabeth nodded. "Yes, those are what Nico's talking about." She looked at the black haired boy laying on the floor. "Why do you ask Nico?"

Nico shrugged. "I was just thinking," he said. "I remembered that Bianca and I used to love them as kids."

"I want to find one," Thalia declared. "Where are those Stoll brothers? They have one of everything don't they?" With that, she stormed out of cabin three in search of the two sons of Hermes.

"I want one too," Nico whined before jumping up and following his cousin out.

Annabeth looked at Percy. "We have nothing better to do?" She shrugged. "Want to follow them?" Percy nodded. With that, the two followed their friends.

"Now why would we just give you this?" Connor asked.

"Yes, why?" Travis added. "What is in it for us?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

Thalia growled at him. "Nothing's in it for you!" She snapped. "You'll give me that slinky because I'll kick your ass to Pluto otherwise!"

"I thought we agreed we wouldn't bring my dad into this," Nico muttered, but was promptly ignored.

"We want payment this time," Connor snapped back stupidly.

"I think we should give it to her," Travis muttered to his brother. He remembered the last time they'd try to get payment from Thalia. He could still feel the footprint on his ass.

"We want payment," Connor stayed firm.

Travis sighed and gave the slinky to his brother. "He wants payment," the elder brother said, making sure they knew it was Connor. "I'm not in on this one."

"Give me the slinky Connor," Thalia snapped, putting on a death glare. Connor glared back at her, but his face was nervous. A growl escaped Thalia's throat and a whimper came out of Connor's.

"Here," Connor squealed, throwing the slinky at her before turning on his heels and taking off. His brother quickly followed him, laughing.

"Think Chiron will be mad at us for sneaking into the Big House?" Annabeth asked from next to Percy.

Percy shook his head. "Of course," Thalia snorted. "But only if he finds out."

Percy glared at his cousin. "Shut up," he said. "Annabeth, we'll be fine."

"Why'd I listen to you two?" Annabeth asked, glaring at the back of Nico and Thalia's heads.

"This is going to be cool," Nico mused, his face filled with joy. "Bianca and I would always climb to the top of the New York City library's stairs and watch it fall. It was so much fun."

"Yeah," Thalia smiled, remembering how her and Jason would do the same thing. "Let's get this over with." Thalia pushed the slinky down the stairs of the big house.

The four friends watched as the slinky slowly fellow down the steps, stopping only halfway down the staircase. "Well, that was a waste of time," Annabeth said. "I don't get what you three find so amazing about these stupid little toys."

Thalia turned to glare at Annabeth. This was one of the few toys her and her younger brother had loved playing with together. "Don't diss the awesomeness of the slinky!" The daughter of Zeus snapped.

"Annabeth," Nico said turning to her. Annabeth nodded for him to continue after a minute of silence. "If we pushed you down the stairs, would you fall like a slinky or bounce like a bouncy ball?"

"What?" Annabeth's eyes widened as how serious Nico looked. "You can't be serious Nico!"

"That is a good question," Thalia mused, and evil smile forming on her face. "You know, wise girl, we should do an experiment."

Tehe, I like this one. Sorry, my friend asked me that question today and I just couldn't help but think of this. So, review?
