Percy Pov

9:00 am

My head hurts like Hades.

Perseus sits up and looks out the window. As he looks directly at the sea he only thinks one thing.

Oh, that actually happened didn't it.

12 hours earlier

Percy was sitting on his bunk in cabin 3, waiting for an Iris Message from Annabeth, and he was bored like bored out of his mind. The only thing to entertain himself is looking at the bright red clock the areas kids gave him. It's such poor taste too. Seriously a cat waving its arms.

The mist from his fountain shot up. "You have a collect call from. 'Percy you had

better answer me or I will Hugging EN-' would you like to answer."

He grabbed his drachma from his bag and tossed it into the mist rather shakily for someone who had won two wars.

The mist shimmered and a rather annoyed looking blonde appeared in the image.

"Percy do you have the suit." He looks at his bed and sees a sticky note saying gone dry cleaning pick me up in an hour with a timestamp written on it for 2 hours earlier.

"...Absolutely."

"Why are you not wearing it?"

"It's stuffy."

"Go get it from the Aphrodite cabin and put it on. I will be there in 30 minutes."

Greeaaaat.

As Percy began walking to the Aphrodite Cabin he wondered if he ran fast enough if he could get refitted for another suit.

You might be wondering what the big deal is, so what if he is late, you might be saying to yourself. Allow me to elaborate.

See this summer the Aphrodite cabin got bored and began offering beauty services anything from dry-cleaning to bedazzling they only had 2 rules.

1. Always pay up.

Those that hadn't paid were all chased, beaten within an inch of their life before being sent to the infirmary and denied service for the rest of their (soon to be shortened) life.

2. Never be late.

Now what they claimed to be punishment was they would have free reign to do whatever they wanted to your clothes so nobody was dumb enough to be late. Especially not 1 hour late.

As I walked in Piper smiled at me evilly and said "Perseus. We've been waiting for you." Gulp.

"Heeey Pipes, how's it been?"

"You here for your suit?"

Oh no.

"No?" Perseus said hopefully, although it sounded more like a question than an answer.

"Well, here it is anyway!" she shouted and tore away the curtains covering the back.

Before his suit was a respectable navy blue with a striped tie and a chain in his pockets.

Now, well. Just let me explain it to you.

He looked at it top to bottom his expression slowly worsening.

The top piece was a Bright Sky blue with little wave designs all over it. Then on the shoulders, red gems were bedazzled all the way down the arms. His bottoms were a dark sea-green almost like his eyes when he was in the... down under (His new name for Tartarus. Sorry Australians) Those also had wave designs on them although it was enchanted to make the waves actually sway during motion.

"Look at that, he's speechless."

In all honest Percy rather liked this one more than he liked it before, the only reason he wasn't as happy as he should have been being;

A. large amount of red present and

B. the foreboding feeling that Annabeth would be pissed.

This should be enlightening.

30 minutes later.

Percy is in the process of being chewed out by Annabeth when suddenly an Apollo camper started knocking on the door. "The ceremony is starting soon."

Its been one year since the Giant War. Recovery is slow but it has happened. This ceremony is supposed to boost morale. I hope it's somewhat entertaining.

Percy and Annabeth approached the mini colosseum. "Llllleeeeets get started!"

They heard on the other side of the giant door. They entered the Colosseum to a band about to play, the most prominent thing was that all the band members had bright red hair even though Apollo kids were all blonde and Apollo was arranging this thing in the first place.

Percy leaned over to Annabeth as they approached their front row seats and whispered, "Do you recognize that Apollo camper?"

Obviously recognizing the one he was referring to she said, "No, but he could have gotten a favor done from the Aphrodite and Hecate cabins to change his appearance for today, especially with the hair."

Percy nodded, "I guess, although even I had to admit Apollo is somewhat good looking from the few moments I have spoken to him, you would think his children would possess that trait considering his very specific tastes." That comment earned him a smack upside his head.

It seems the show was starting, a giant projector and screen were lowered from the ceiling the red camper began singing, "Tonight we honor the heroes" and the song started playing. As they all sang and played on the screen showed all of our achievements and victories. It was quite nostalgic actually.

The ceremony went on for a while but it was still relatively short. The first song ended with the words "I swear I respect the hero!" which I think Annabeth quite liked even if she didn't say anything, anyone could tell from the smug look on her face. They sang for a good couple of hours till nightfall.

After 4 hours we were all tired out so Annabeth (being the only one of us to pass the driving test) drove me home and dropped me off, I promised to call her in the morning.

A light is on.

My Percy sense is tingling.

I slowly pull out Riptide and enter my house sitting at my coffee table is the U.S. Secretary of Defense John Doe (Too Lazy to look up actual name) and next to him is the world-famous Tony Stark sitting on my couch at first I feel tempted to ask for an autograph, then I felt worried, see The Hephaestus cabin finally made phones and tv's that wouldn't broadcast a demigods location, Tony Stark, on the other hand, had no such protections. My eye's stray to the counter as my brain goes haywire trying to figure out how to solve the current conundrum when I notice the plate of cookies, well not the cookies, but the lack thereof I had on the counter. I then notice a single crumb on the (admittedly nice looking) Iron Man armor, the only clue that pointed to what caused the disappearance of my mother's delicious cookies.

Oh Hell No.

"YOU ATE MY MOM'S COOKIES?"

"Yeah they were delicious by the way, but I came here for-"

"Hell No don't just brush over that what the fuck man. Why?"

"Uuuuh... I can pay you back?"

"They are worth your entire fortune."

Short update considering its been literal years but writers block is a b, anyways see you sometime in this century
