I'm sorry but I don't I'll be able to post the second chapter soon enough! So, I decided to give you a little bonus chapter! Like a "behind the scenes" thing. By the way, this is probably like…three days before the quest was given. Which means… KAIRI IS ALIVE! (I feel weird saying that since Kairi is my nickname)
DISCLAIMER- I DON'T OWN PERCY JACKSON! Although, I do own a Camp Half-Blood shirt and a Camp Jupiter shirt. :3
~NICO P.O.V.~
"STOLLS!"
I sighed, looks the Stoll brothers did another prank. I looked to see what they did, "Lame." I muttered.
"Not like you can do better." A voice said behind me.
I turned around to see who said that, "You underestimate me." I said. Connor raised an eyebrow, "Oh yeah? How about we make you a deal." He said. So, we went behind a random cabin and continued our conversation without being disturbed. "We dare you to do a prank." Travis said. I raised an eyebrow, "That's it?" I asked. They thought for a moment before Connor got an idea. "We'll give you one hundred fifty drachmas is you prank your crush." He said while Travis nodded in agreement. I instantly blushed a little, "I….uh…." I stuttered. Connor smirked, "Don't worry, we won't tell who it is to anyone. And, we'll give you an idea." He said. And so, the deal was sealed after swearing upon the River Styx.
~SELINA P.O.V.~
After working up a lot of sweat after training, I ran to my cabin and went in the bathroom. I locked the door and began taking a nice cold bath. After a good five minutes, I wrapped myself in a towel and walked out of the bathroom just in time to see Nico go out my cabin. I tilted my head confused, what was Nico doing in the Poseidon cabin? I then noticed my wardrobe slightly open. "Oh…gods no." I ran to my wardrobe and the sight was enough to make me in a really bad mood. "NICO DI ANGELO! I'M GONNA KILL YOU, JERK!" I screamed.
~PERCY P.O.V.~
I was heading towards my cabin until I see Nico run out with a huge grin- wait, what was Nico doing in the Poseidon cabin? Nico was running towards me and smiled an evil smile. "Nico, what are you doing in my cabin?" I asked. "Oh, I just left a little gift for your sister." He said. He then shouldered a black bag. I was about to ask what was in the bag until I heard a scream come from the Poseidon cabin. "NICO DI ANGELO! I'M GONNA KILL YOU, JERK!" Kairi screamed form inside. Nico smirked, "Got to go to the Stolls, bye!" He said then shadow travelled away. I began continuing walking towards my cabin while making the pace quicker. I was about to go in until the door opened and there was my sister dressed….oh...my...gods.
She had a similar aviator's jacket like Nico's with a black shirt and a white skull as a design. Then, she wore a denim skirt- wait, I thought she hated denim skirts!? And black converse on. She had had a scowl in her face and I couldn't help but do one thing; laugh.
I know, that's mean but man, Nico sure is creative when he wants to. Kairi glared at me and if looks could kill, I would be dead in a flash. I finally stopped laughing but the snickering wouldn't stop. "I look ridiculous. No words are able to tell how frustrated I am. Do you know where that son of Hades went?" Kairi asked. I nodded, "He was meeting up with the Stolls." I said.
After searching for Nico, Conner and Travis. We finally found them near the Climbing Wall. Kairi grinned like a madman. "Why hello there...friends." she said while walking towards them with her fist out and a bubble of water floating towards them that then turned greenish. The three paled nervously, "H-Hi Kairi. What cha' g-g-going to do with th-that p-p-poison?" Nico stuttered asking. Kairi's bangs then covered her eyes making her look even creepier, probably creepier than Nico! "Let's play 'Toss the bubble'." She said and flicked her hand making the bubble splash to them and making them scream. "Oh right, I forgot you guys don't have water powers. Oops!" she said while grinning innocently. Then, she began to punch all three of them.
After a good thirty minutes of revenge, I coughed to make her notice me. "I think that's enough." I said. Kairi pouted and got off Nico since...well...she was punching Nico and before he could shadow travel away she tackled him and keeping a firm grip on him. Also, I noticed how Nico blushed a little as Kairi sat on top of him or it's just my eyes. She then got up and summoned three squares of Ambrosia and three canteens of Nectar. She then gave it to the three, "Here." She said. Then she went closer and grinned like a madman again, "Do that again and I swear it would be even better than this." She threatened. The three gulped and nodded and Kairi went back to innocent mood.
She then looked at Nico, "Where did you put my clothes?" she asked. Nico finished his Ambrosia square and replied. "I placed them in a black bag and gave it to the Stolls who sold it without my knowledge. Sorry." He said. Kairi glared at him, "Are you sure?" she asked. Nico nodded, "I swear it upon the River Styx." He said and thunder was heard which sealed the deal. Kairi's glare softened and her eyes began to water with her bottom lip trembling. Being the big brother I am, I ran towards her and comforted her; telling her that I'll ask my mom to by her new clothes for her. She cried softly into my shirt and we walked back towards out cabin, but I gave all three of them a hard glare before walking away.
I IMed my mom and we agreed to meet her tomorrow. Chiron allowed us to go and said that Nico should come along. So I left Kairi in the Poseidon cabin and ran to cabin thirteen to tell Nico. Nico nodded and said that he was sorry. Which he should. This means Kairi has to wear those clothes for the entire day. I feel bad for her.
I was just lying down on my bed until Kairi came in with a flushed face. "What happened?" I asked. Kairi walked towards me and sat on my bed beside me. "I was walking by the Aphrodite cabin until a gush of wind lifted my skirt up and revealed my...undergarments to the Aphrodite boys. Never in my life have I been so embarrassed." She said while trying to fix her extremely short skirt. I comforted her until I heard a knock on the door. "Kairi? It's me Piper! I know what happened and I have a solution!" Piper shouted. Kairi immediately ran to the door and nearly torn it open. "What is it!?" she asked desperately.
Piper then gave her sea green shorts and told her she took care of her half-brothers already. Kairi smiled and hugged Piper, "Thanks." She said and ran to the bathroom to put it on. Piper walked over to the bathroom door, "You better put the shorts on first then the skirt." She said. Kairi cracked the door slightly open and popped her head out, "I still have to wear a skirt?" she asked. Piper nodded, "Well of course! Look at those shorts! They're...short." she said. Kairi sighed and closed the door again and came back out with the shorts underneath her skirt.
~SELINA P.O.V.~
Soon, it was dinner time and I was scared to go out. Percy squeezed my shoulder and told me there is nothing to fear. I sighed and just followed Percy behind. I got a few stares and whispers (and snickers from the Stolls) and it was enough to make me fidget around.
Soon, me, Nico and Percy water/shadow travelled just outside Percy's apartment. "You'll love my mom. She's amazing." Percy stated before knocking on the door. A man opened it and smiled when he saw Percy. "Sally! Percy and Nico are here!" he said and opened the door wider for us to enter. "Hi Paul." Percy said. Nico nodded at him and followed. "Who might you be?" he asked. "I'm Kairi Wright, Percy's half-sister." I said. "Hello. I'm Paul Blofis, Percy's stepfather." He said. I tilted my head, "What kind of last name is 'Blowfish'?" I asked. Percy and Nico laughed while Paul just sighed, "It's Blofis. Not Blowfish." He said. I blushed a little, "Oh! I'm sorry!" I said. "It's alright." He said after closing the door behind me.
The apartment was small but cozy. It had warmth in it. Then, a woman came out with a smile that looked like she won the lottery and gave half of it for charity. "Percy!" she exclaimed and crushed the said boy with a motherly hug. "Hi mom. Can't breathe." Percy stuttered out. Percy's mom then looked at Nico and crushed him in a hug as well. "Nico! Great to see you again!" she exclaimed. "Hello." He said. Then Percy's mom looked at my outfit then smiled, "You're my son's half-sister that got her clothes sold right?" she asked with a little tease in it. I blushed and nodded timidly, "Hello." I said. Then she crushed me in a hug. Can I just say that if bears have hugging contest on who can hug the tightest, I'm guessing she would win 1st place on it.
She then broke the hug and urged us to sit down on the table and explain what happened while she got the freshly baked cookies out and the smoothies made. And then a miracle happened. I saw the cookies and the smoothies BLUE! You do not know how happy I was to see that. The cookies tasted delicious! After explaining, and knowing her name was Sally Jackson-Blofis. Sally got in a flurry and took me out with Nico and Percy barely able to keep up with her pace.
"Now don't you worry. We'll get you new clothes you poor little thing." She said and we went to nearly every clothing stores and got clothes that I liked in five minutes flat. After that, it was time to go home. "Promise me you'll come back Percy. Bring your sister with you too and some friends! I haven't seen Annabeth in a long time." Sally said before we disappeared in either shadows or water.
After that, I ran to my cabin and changed quickly into the new clothes I got. I wore a white tank top with a sea green cardigan on that's buttoned on the middle. Then, I wore black shorts and flats that had an imprint of stars and galaxies since I excelled in that particular subject of Astronomy too. Surprise! Notice my sarcasm? I then wore my pendant on and left my hair flowing back. I then walked over to my wardrobe and refilled it with new clothes. And the day went fine for the entire time. But I have a feeling that this won't last very long.
BLOOP! Okay, so that's done and you obviously know what she meant when she said "won't last very long". Because she...yeah. I'm not going to say it because my other brother might just be reading this before reading the other chapter (kuya if you are reading this, well, HA! IN YOUR FACE!). And just like what River Song always says, Spoilers !
Thank you all so so much for reading! I promise I'll try to post the next chapter of the sequel. Bye!
