A/N: Hey guys! So yeah. I saw this open story idea, so I decided to use it! I have to prepare you, I don't have an extremely clear idea of where I'm going to go with this, so it's probably going to end up really strange… You've been warned!
Percy's POV:
Well, the day started off average enough. It was the 31st of October, also known as Halloween. Now, I know a lot of other kids my age spend most of the year looking forward to this day because of the awesome candy and pranks to play, not to mention the scare factor, but I had never really celebrated it that much. My mom and I had always just had this tradition of staying at home watching bad horror movies, it sounds stupid, but trust me it's fun. With the war having just ended earlier that year, me and my mom hadn't been that close lately, so I was really looking forward to some cool bonding time. Of course, just because I'm saying this doesn't mean I'm some sort of momma's boy. I had just come to Hades and back, and that puts the important things in perspective. I just didn't think a bunch of kids running around praising destruction was a good idea, especially when those kids were hyped up on sugar.
I had just sat down on the couch with a bowl of blue popcorn, and was putting in the DVD of Troll 2, when one of those kids hyped up on sugar showed up on my doorstep. I heard my mom answer the door and headed over with the candy bucket to give the kid a piece, however as I walked towards the door I overheard the end of the conversation.
"Please Mrs. Percy's Mom! Please please please please please pleeeeeeeaaaasssseee? It'll be so much fun, and Persephone's so controlling that she won't let me go alone!"
That was when I realized the little kid hyped up on sugar standing at my front porch was none other than my favorite cousin Nico. (anyone else catching the sarcasm here? Of course, me and Nico have had so many fun adventures….) I saw the vision of my peaceful night with my mom flash before my eyes, and I knew that starting now my night would be nothing close to peaceful. "Percy," My mother said. "Nico wants to know if you feel like going trick-or-treating with him."
"PLEASE Percy! It'll be so much fun. Think of all the candy!" Nico cut in. My mom continued by saying "Personally I think it would be a good idea as long as you stay safe. You never get to see your other demigod friends." I looked over at Nico and noticed him practically bouncing up and down. "Uhh. Nico, no offense of anything, but how much candy have you had?" I asked him. "Well," He replied, "I hit a couple houses on the way over here, I was too lazy to shadow travel, so I guess you could say.. hmm.. well… lets see…" He said while counting on his fingers. "Somewhere around 12. They gave out really good candy too! really, really good candy!" Great. I thought. This would be a long night.
Before I knew it my mom was telling me we would have the movie night the next day, and Nico was handing me his extra candy bag while babbling about all the different routes he wanted to take. As we headed out the door I heard my mom say something along the lines of "Don't get killed! Love you!" And I knew that it was going to be a really long night. s
"Look Nico, don't take this the wrong way, but you're thirteen and I'm sixteen. Don't you think we're a little too old to go trick-or-treating?"
"Really Percy. Don't you have any Hallow Spirit? You're never to old to go trick or treating! We just need to get you a costume. Well, I need a costume too. Ooh! I know! You can dress up as a mermaid. That would be so super awesome. And hilarious. I bet Annabeth would love that. Haha. And I could dress up as a skeleton! It's like, when I go to the houses all the people will say 'who are you?' and I'll say 'I'm deadboy, pun intended!' and it would just be really funny. You know?" Nico rambled on and on all the way to the little Goodwill near my house. They always have good costumes, ands Nico kept saying how hardly anyone gives candy to people who aren't dressed up. Personally, I didn't think not getting much candy would be a bad thing.
Yes. I knew from the moment Nico stepped onto my porch that it was going to be a really long night.
A/N: Well. I guess this is going to be a multi-chapter story. Anywho, review and tell me what you think! Should I continue it? Feel free to submit your ideas! Thanks guys, love ya!
