"Perrrrrrrrrrrrrrrcccccccccccccyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!" Annabeth's scream sounded from the speaker. Percy held the phone receiver at an arm's length to refrain from losing his hearing.
"Annabeth? What's wrong?!" Percy shouted frantically into the phone, genuinely worried about his beloved girlfriend.
"Percy! Don't shout!" Annabeth berated him.
"But…but…you were shouting." Percy stuttered.
"Don't make excuses! Now…I need your help…"
"Nooooooooooo!!!!!" Percy's scream could be heard from 10 shops away. "Annabeth! My manness is at stake here! I can't go in…in there!" He tilted his head to the shop in front of them.
"Percy stop screaming-"
"I told you! It's called manscreaming." Percy folded his arms like a little spoilt child.
"Percy stop manscreaming, and your 'manness' isn't at stake." Annabeth rolled her eyes. "It's just a shop that's all."
"A shop that's filled with women and… and women things!" Percy spoke exasperatedly.
"Percy, I'm just buying tampons!" Annabeth grabbed his hand. "Come on, suck it up! Don't tell me that Perseus Jackson, the hero of the titan war who pretty much killed thousands of monsters, is afraid of walking into 'a shop that's filled with women and women things'", she emphasized the last line with brief air quotes, "Be brave, look, I'll even hold your hand the whole time ok?"
Percy contemplated the thought. He did promise Annabeth he'd go shopping with her after her brothers stole and burnt her clothes. How that happened he didn't even want to know. Nodding, he allowed her to pull him into the shop.
After the 3 whole minute of helping Annabeth choose between pink or blue ones, they finally paid for the tampons. "Does it matter what color they are? It's not like you'll see it anyway." Percy yawned. Realizing what he had said, he waved his hands around nervously, "Never mind, forget that I ever said that."
Checking her grocery list, Annabeth muttered, "Hmmm… that seems to be it."
Percy heaved a sigh, thinking of the strawberry pie waiting for him at home.
"Wait, Percy! There's one more thing…"
Groaning, Percy turned to find Annabeth blushing. Confused, he questioned, "Wha-" Before stopping short when he saw the list. There, on the very last line, in Annabeth's neat scrawl, was the word, lingerie.
Lingerie. Lingerie. The word sounded in Percy's sudden blank state of mind. He grabbed Annabeth's hand and pulled her towards the escalator.
"What are you doing Percy? All of a sudden you're so eager to help me?" Annabeth panted as she tried to keep up with her boyfriend's long legs.
"Well… uh, we should hurry so we can get home soon right?" Percy spoke, not even bothering to look back.
Annabeth rolled her eyes. Percy was no different from every other guy. Percy suddenly stopped and Annabeth, who was still running, ran straight into him. Losing her balance, Annabeth fell backwards, only to be held up by Percy who was staring in wonder at the shop in front of him.
Annabeth too, looked up at the brightly lit shop. Tiptoeing, she closed Percy's mouth and pulled his head down to face her. Percy's dazed eyes cleared and Annabeth asked, "Do you wanna stay out here?"
Percy shook his head.
"Are you sure? It's filled with women things." Annabeth giggled slightly at Percy's vigorous nodding.
Sighing, she grabbed his hand again and they stepped into the shop. Percy's eyes roamed about coming to stop at several girls on the way. Annabeth growled and dug her nails into his hands causing Percy to yelp. "You might wanna keep your eyes from wandering Percy. That is, if you want to walk out of this shop with them." Annabeth spoke softly, yet she could see that Percy was scared. That's right, don't mess with Annabeth Chase, especially not in a lingerie shop.
Annabeth stopped at a rack of blue colored assortment of bras and panties. Taking a short look at them, she moved on to the next rack. Letting go of Percy's hand, she moved the different designs about. Spotting one she liked, she paused, taking the green colored set off the rack. Looking around, she spotted another rack filled with hot pink. "Coming, Percy?" She turned to look at her grinning boyfriend.
He nodded, "Any special reason why you chose green? Sea green?" He grinned hopefully.
"Oh! How did you guess Percy, it's every girl's dream to buy underwear that matches her boyfriend's eyes." Annabeth said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. She chose not to mention that that happened to be her favorite color because of him.
Percy stepped back and held up his hands, "Hey, don't get all pissy, Annabeth, I was just saying is all. Besides, it's fine to like green, for example, I'm wearing grey, aren't I?"
Annabeth turned to look at him. "No you aren't."
"Yes I am," Percy started to lift his shirt. "Wanna see?"
Annabeth quickly pulled his shirt back down before anyone saw what was happening. She snarled, "No, Percy, I don not want to see your boxers. And I'm pretty sure no one else here does either." She grabbed his hand and was about to pull him to the hot pink rack when she heard a startling voice.
"…scuse me, can I have this in red please?"
Annabeth pulled Percy with her to the next rack, bending down. "Anna-"
"Percy! Keep quiet! Listen!" She whispered and pulled his head down.
"Yeah. In red. Thanks." She heard the extremely familiar voice again. Turning around, she saw Percy's face reflecting the shocked expression she must have had.
"Annabeth, is that…Clarisse?!" Together, they popped their heads back up to see a familiar girl, with the same slight-scowl on her face and the same red bandana.
Percy started hyperventilating. "Oh my gods, it is Clarisse! She's gonna murder us if she sees us. What is sh-" Percy suddenly stopped in realization. He turned to his girlfriend. "Annabeth, we're in Victoria's Secret. She's here too." Pausing for effect, Percy grabbed his girlfriend's shoulders, "Clarisse is in Victoria's Secret."
Annabeth shook herself. Percy was right. There were so many people who she might have expected to see here, but Clarisse?! "Percy. This is the opportunity of a lifetime! We soooooo can't miss this. Give me a camera."
"Annabeth, do I look like I have a camera?! Besides, don't you think that's a little too overboard? Humiliating her? For buying underwear?" Percy's eyebrows curved and he rubbed his knuckles evilly, "Then again…she did take photos of us kissing."
Annabeth grinned and motioned for him to follow her to the next rack, opposite of where Clarisse was standing. She pulled out her cell phone and told Percy, "Ok, here, we'll take the photos with this."
Annabeth raised her hand shakily, to aim, only to have it snatched out of her hands. She looked up to see Percy holding the phone. "I'll take the photos."
She tried to snatch the phone back. "It's my phone!" Jumping to try to get it, she growled, "Percy! I wanna do it!"
"I'll do it, she took my photos remember." Percy held the phone up even higher, just out of reach of Annabeth's groping hands.
"Hello? Who were you kissing? I was in it too, kelp face. Now give it!" Annabeth jumped, in time to see the phone disappear from Percy's grasp. Together, they walked around the rack to be blinded by a flash. Blinking, they gasped simultaneously, there, stood Clarisse, holding a bag in one hand and a phone in the other.
"How 'bout I take it eh?" She scowled. She held up her phone and showed them photos of them in the mall together. "That's right, I've got everything in here…didn't expect to see you in here though, I though you guys were done after those tampons. Speaking of which, I've got pictures of that too, pretty boy." She half snarled-half smiled at an ashen faced Percy.
"You wouldn't." Percy protested.
"Why not?!" Clarisse retorted. "You guys tried taking pictures of me didn't you?" she turned to look at Annabeth, whose mouth was wide open, unblinking.
Percy too turned to his girlfriend, waving a hand in front of her, he pinched her and Annabeth yelped. "Ouch!" Rubbing her arm, she gritted her teeth, "So what do you want Clarisse?"
Clarisse grinned, "Let's see, my cabin full marks for the next three inspections."
"Done."
"No kitchen duty for 3 weeks." She crossed her arms.
"Fine." Annabeth gritted her teeth, drawing the syllable out slowly.
"Annnddd…"She raised an eyebrow to look at them. Percy gulped and clutched Annabeth. "I want you guys to go to the big house when we get to camp and…cut Chiron's tail."
Annabeth gasped. "Not done! Chiron's tail! You know how much he loves his tai1!" She shook her head so hard Percy was afraid it might come off. "I can't do it."
"It's that or this." Clarisse waved the phone in front of them.
Annabeth straightened up and snorted, "What can you do with that anyway, show the whole camp? I don't care. Come on Percy, we're not gonna sink that low." She grabbed her awed boyfriend's hand and together, they walked back to his car.
"Annabeth! She's gonna show the whole camp! Don't you care?!" Percy grabbed her shoulders and shook her, slightly hysteric.
"Oh, I care alright. That's why, this doesn't end here. Really, Percy, I'd have thought you would know me better than that. Now step on it." She put her sunglasses on and leaned back into her seat.
Percy smiled, that's my Annabeth, alright.
