Percy's POV
"I think we should avoid the girls," I announced to the guys one day. There was an uncomfortable silence, until all the guys stood up in outrage and started to argue with each other.
"No, I don't think we should, why should we?"
"We should, it won't be easy!"
"WE HAVE TO DO IT YOU GUYS," I yelled in the middle of all our constant arguments.
"Why should we?" Skylar demanded.
"Yeah, why should we?" Travis agreed.
"BECAUSE, remember what happened to you Skylar, when you were fighting with Thalia?" I
reminded.
Flashback…
"Pandas are bears!" Skylar yelled. They were arguing in the middle of the Limbo deck, where a bunch of people were gathered around their disagreement. You could hear people in the crowd,
saying, "They're arguing again, this ought to be good!" Somewhere along those lines.
"NO, they're not bears! They're something else!" Thalia countered.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
"They're something scientific-y but I don't remember what it's called. I know for a fact they're not bears!" she answered.
"Well, since you don't know right now, they're bears in my book!" he shouted.
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"THEY ARE NOT BEARS!" She said, sounding frustrated.
"You have no idea what you're talking about, naïve little girl!" he informed.
"All I know is that PANDAS are NOT bears!" Thalia confirmed.
Skylar was about to object, when he saw something he really wasn't in the mood into killing right now. The Minotaur. It was charging over to us, and he had to tackle Thalia and push her out of the way. He was on top of her and she pushed him off.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she demanded.
"SAVED YOUR LIFE JUST NOW!" He informed.
"From what? That old lady?" she asked, as she pointed at where the Minotaur once was. In its place was an old lady.
"Excuse me dear, do you know where everyone's playing bingo?" the lady asked.
"Of course Ma'am." Thalia said, as she got off the floor. She scowled at Skylar before she gave directions to her and left him alone. The Minotaur popped in and he had to quickly kill it while he was STILL alone.
End of Flashback…
"Oh yeah, I forgot about what happened there," Skylar murmured.
"Ha ha, that was funny when Thalia got mad because you supposedly saved her from an old
lady." Nico laughed.
"So yeah, that's a reason why we should avoid them! For their own safety! Every time we've been hanging out with them, we've been bombarded with monsters!" I said convincingly.
"I understand you're worried about their safety, but they're going to KNOW that we're avoiding them. You know how girls are! They'll get hurt, and then BOOM, there goes our friendships." Skylar countered.
"I know you're worried about our friendships, but I couldn't live with the guilt if something happened to Annabeth just because she was hanging out with me and what not. We need to think of their well being before ourselves." I objected, as we all looked up at the same direction.
"What are we looking at?" Travis asked.
"A flashback's about to play, hold on," I answered, as I kept my gaze up at the same direction.
ANOTHER Flashback…
"Have you ever tried putting a CD in a microwave?" I asked her. We were hanging out in one of the lounges in the boat, since it was kind of hot at that time of day.
"No why?" she questioned.
"It'll look really pretty." I answered.
"Wow Percy, because it'll look really pretty?" she laughed.
"Yeah, it's a good reason." I defended.
"Well your logic seems to be like Aphro- I mean your logic seems to be different!" she said, but I heard her correct herself. I wonder what she was about to say.
"Well, it WAS a good reason, because it WAS really pretty." I informed her.
"That would've broken your microwave," she giggled.
"I know that it would've broken my microwave!" I told her.
"You are a wonder Seaweed Brain," she smiled. I was smiling at her, when I saw a dracanae come up behind her.
"LET'S GO OVER HERE, SHALL WE?" I exclaimed, as I offered her my arm and smiled at her.
"Sure? Why the sudden change of location?" she questioned, as she took my arm.
"Because I felt like it,"
"MORE of your brilliant logic," she laughed.
"You better get used to it then." I grinned worriedly, as I pulled her away from where the dracanae was.
End of Flashback…
"I was lucky she didn't get hurt!" I told Skylar.
"Well, I want to preserve my friendships, why don't you?" Skylar questioned.
"I WANT TO PROTECT THEM, we're too dangerous!" I told him.
"What are you talking about?" he growled.
"Did you forget who we are?" I asked him.
"I know exactly who we are!" he answered back.
"Well, why are you questioning me then?" I hissed.
"YOU GUYS, CALM DOWN!" Nico yelled, pushing us apart. I didn't realize that Skylar and I were up in each other's personal space. "Can't we handle this in a better way?"
"Hey, am I intruding?" we turned and saw a slender girl with long, dirty blond hair standing there. Her eyes were just like a greenish meadow, but sort of like an ocean colored green; her hair was straight and reached her mid back. She was wearing a green tank top and short shorts with white gladiator sandals.
Third Person POV
"Where are we going? I mean I just met you and all, but you are super hot compared to an emo kid like me." Nico spoke while holding hands with the dirty blond hair girl.
"Are you saying that you don't trust me, Nico?" The girl asked.
"No! I do trust you Aimi, but I ju-" He was cut off by Aimi.
"Are you sure that you aren't one of those guys who have trust issues?" She asked tracing a heart on his shirt.
He hesitated a little, and Aimi seemed to notice. She seemed disappointed at his hesitation and started to get all teary.
"You are.." she sobbed before running off in who knows where. Nico looked at the ground like he was staring somewhere.
"Dad why do you wanna be the anti- Aphrodite?" Nico muttered before going after Aimi, "Aimi wait!"
He chased after her into the first class hallway. He wasn't so comfortable in this place without his friends, but it was for a girl he had love on first sight with, "Aimi!" he shouted.
"Uh Hey Nico," Someone greeted behind him and had this deep voice so it had to be male, "What are you doing here?"
"I kinda lost this girl cause she ran off crying when she thought I was one of those guys who have trust issues." Nico responded.
"Oh, when I was walking here I saw a girl crying down the hallway by the janitor's closet. Come on lets go cheer her up and get you on that date." The man named, Luke, responded with a grin.
Nico nodded and they both walked down the hallway when they heard sobbing. Nico stiffen at it and tried to think of a way to apologize. When they were nearing the corner, Nico decided to talk to her alone.
"I'll take it from here." Nico responded before running to the corner. Luke just nodded and when Nico had his back turned; Luke grinned mischievously.
Nico ran to the corner and saw Aimi sobbing on the ground. He kneeled down beside her and put a hand to her shoulder, "Aimi, are you alright?" he asked.
"No! The guy I like doesn't trust me!" Aimi sobbed. Nico was quite taken back by this piece of information, but kept a straight face even though he was jumping inside.
"Whos the guy?" Nico, the dense boy, asked.
"You idiot!" Aimi exclaimed jumping onto him and kissing him full on the lips. Nico seemed to relax against the kiss and wanted more until-
Bang!
"Good job, Aimi." Luke spoke carrying the unconscious Nico Di Angelo. Aimi wipped her mouth with a baby wipe and smiled at Luke.
"It was way to easy, but since you are so willingly to give me extra cash once he wakes up he'll be paralyze so he won't get to his friends. Just gotta love having Demeter as your mom." Aimi giggled before latching onto Luke.
"Heres the next step.."
Percy's POV
"Finally, we caught up with you!" I panted. Travis and I were chasing Skylar around the boat for half an hour.
"Wow, it took you guys, THAT LONG to catch me?" Skylar exclaimed with this sarcastic look.
"Dude, we seriously need to talk about this." I told him.
"Wassup you guys!" we turned and saw Luke drinking a smoothie.
"Hey," we greeted.
"Nico just told me he hated you guys for what Skylar did," he turned to Skylar and asked, "What
you do to get him so pissed?"
"Nothing," Skylar obviously lied.
"Skylar, tell us what happened and what he is talking about?" Travis asked.
"I can't tell you! It was a promise and you two know how I feel about promises," he sighed.
"Well, I'll leave you guys to discuss this," Luke said uncomfortably and walked off to the skydeck.
"Skylar, what's Luke talking about?" I asked him.
"NOTHING, there's nothing to be asking me about," Skylar insisted.
"Dude, why can't you tell us? I mean we are like brothers!" Travis yelled.
"I promised not to." He said firmly going back to that excuse.
"Skylar," I spoke.
"Percy, I just can't tell you," he sighed.
"WHY NOT?" Travis and I asked in outrage.
"BECAUSE, I JUST CAN'T!" he yelled back at us.
"Fine, when you're ready to tell us, come, but for now, I'm gonna shun you." I told him.
"Shun me? That's unnecessary!" Skylar shouted while holding his fist together in anger, and I swore I saw a vein pop.
"YEAH, SHUN YOU," Travis agreed, as we both walked away angrily from Skylar.
"Did you really have to use that word, 'shun'? It's hard for me to feel hurt with a word used like that!" Skylar yelled.
"Well we had to! Its not my fault you have a small vocabulary bird brain!" Travis and I yelled in unison before walking off to our cabins.
Annabeth's POV
The guys are so weird for thinking we weren't going to notice that they were avoiding us. We just witnessed them fighting amongst each other about Skylar hiding something from them.
"Annabeth, what should we do?" Silena asked.
"We can't have them go home hating each other," Katie agreed.
"I'm completely fine with that," Thalia piped up.
"Well, I'm not; we should do something to help them make up." I concluded.
"They're so tight, I can't believe they're capable of fighting with each other," Alexis said. We all
nodded in agreement,"It's like US fighting. THAT would be strange." she exclaimed.
"Oh hey Silena!" A girl with these green meadow eyes and dirty blond hair greeted Silena cheerfully and when I looked at Silena, she had this clueless look.
"Do I kn-" she was cut off.
"So did you tell them?" The girl asked with a smile.
"Tell us what?" Katie and I asked curious. Silena backed away towards the railing while holding her hands up.
"Nothing! I don't even know her!" Silena exclaimed. I wasn't really convinced on how her eyes were looking somewhere else besides us.
"Sis, tell us what she is talking about!" Alexis exclaimed getting at Silena's personal space.
"I don't know what she is talking about!" Silena replied.
"Tell us Silena, or I will throw your precious Skylar over board and I won't hesitate!" Thalia exclaimed with a grin.
"I...I can't tell you! I made a promise!" she shouted almost into tears.
"Silena," I spoke up pushing the girls away from her. She looked up at me and I smiled gently, "remember? We're all friends here no wait we're like sisters! You can tell us anything please? I don't want to end of like the guys; hating each others." I explained.
She seemed reluctantly, but when she looked back at Skylar and how frustrated he was, she finally sighed and looked at all of us dead in the eye, "...I told him." she said.
"Told who what?" Katie asked.
"I told Skylar," she let inhaled a big deep breath before continuing, "I told Skylar that I was a demigod."
