"Ah, he said he want's to ask you all something."
Mike turned to his band members and they all shrugged. He turned to Nick, "let him through."
The body gaurd nodded and turned to Percy, "it's your lucky day kid."
"Gee, thanks," Percy replied as he walked passed the man and towards the band member, "ah, hello."
"Sup?" Billie Joe, the singer of the band asked. He had eyeliner under his eyes and gel was used to spike his head.
"Ah, I was just wondering wether you guys saw a girl, about my height, blue highlights, probably asked you to sign her bracelet?"
"And if we did?" Mike asked.
"Ah, could you tell me?"
"Depends," Billie Joe took a drag from his cigarette, "what do we get in return?"
Percy raised an eyebrow, "what do you want?"
The band members looked at each other and shrugged. Billie Joe looked at him, "tell me a story."
Percy looked surprised, "a story? You want a story?"
They nodded, "yeah….why what did you think we wanted? Money? Neah kid, tell us a story"
Percy shrugged and sat down. He wondered for a second what story to tell them, when he got an idea. "This story starts in a school, it was a boarding school for the specially gifted. Everyone here was special in someway, some were thieves, some were fighters and some…..some didn't belong. And in that school there was a boy, and very special boy, and his name was Peter Johnson. And he was the son of Poseidon."
Percy then began to tell them his story, of how he found out he was a demigod, how he went to camp and how he saved his mom's life. He never gave details, over anything important, like his Gaming powers. But he did tell them the highlights.
By the end of the story all the band members were on the edge of their seats. They were excited, their beer untouched, their cigars un dragged. Percy had them between their fingers.
"-and so the boy lived in camp. He had saved his family and the Gods forgave him for bringing back the dead. And all was well."
Billie Joe was the first to speak, "woah."
"That was the best story ever," said Mike, "you should totally be a storyteller man."
Percy smiled, "thanks."
"Wait," Jason, the lead guitarist said, "what happened to Luke?"
Percy shrugged, "I don't know," Percy hadn't told the whole story, he never mentioned Luke joined forces with the bad guys. That just seemed...disrespectful.
"You can't just leave us hangin like that!" Jason shouted, "what happened next?!"
"I don't know," Percy simply replied.
"Come one man! You're killing us!"
"Hey, you said one story. And I told you the story."
The band member sighed as Mike spoke up,"yeah, your right. A deal's a deal. I think that girl you mentioned went to the bar. I think she got roped into a drinking game with some college kids."
"What?!" Percy shouted.
"Relax man, I'm sure she's fine."
Percy started to panic, "oh I am in so much to shit. Her dad is going to kill me if he found out I let this happened!"
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"Why does everyone keep asking me that? No, just my cousin."
"Then it'll be fine. What's the worst that can happen?"
And image of Percy getting zapped by a large thunder cloud came into mind. Percy gulped and stood up fast, "okay, I really have to go. It was nice talking to you guys!"
"Wait," Billie Joe called out causing Percy to stop, "here take this. Think of it as a thank you from us for an awesome story."
The singer took off a chain he was wearing and threw it to Percy. It was a skull with red eyes with crossbone behind it. Percy smiled and tucked it into his pocket, "thanks."
The band waved him away and the demigod quickly ran towards the bar. He searched for minutes and then suddenly, "drink up losers!" Percy recognized Thalia's voice.
He ran to the source, there was a large group of people before him, but Percy managed to squeeze through. He found Thalia standing in front of a beer pong table with half of her cups gone. Her opponent on the other hand, a blonde dude with a beanie, had no cups. He fished his last cup of beer and promptly fell backwards.
"Fuck yeah!" Thalia yelled out, "the lightning queen rules!"
Percy stepped forward out of the crowd, "Thalia what the hell are you doing?"
The daughter of Zeus turned to Percy and smiled, "Peercy! What's up dude?!" Percy could see the redness in her face and the slur in her voice.
Percy sighed, "you're drunk."
"No man! I'm good!" Thalia said taking a beer cup and chugging it down in one swing before burping, "see?"
"Okay, that's it, I'm taking you home," Percy walked up to Thalia but just then a couple of college guys stepped in front of Percy blocking his way.
"Nah ha little dude," a tall guy with with a tight shirt said, "little miss is staying with us."
Percy raised an eyebrow, "you guys do know she's underage right?"
The guys looked surprised and turned to Thalia, "how old are you?"
Thalia burped again as she put her head on the table, "I don't know. How old did I say I was?"
"Ah, 21?"
"Then I'm 21!"
The guys shrugged before turning to Percy, "good enough for me."
Percy sighed, "look she's obviously lying. Let me just take her home-"
"-Oh yeah? What are you her boyfriend?" the biggest one asked sneering at him, "do you even know her?"
"She literally said my name."
"Yeah? So? Percy is a very common name."
Percy sighed, "I really don't have time for this."
"Yeah then fuck-"
BAMN!
Percy smashed the man's head into the plastic table breaking it in half. Beer and cups flee everywhere as Thalia shot up straight with her eyes widened in surprise. Percy then turned to the others, "move or I'll do the same to you."
The immediately walked away and Percy grabbed Thalia and helped the girl outside. He took her into an alleyway and by that time she was already asleep. Percy carefully put her inside his inventory and took off for camp.
Once back at camp he walked towards the Zeus cabin and quickly entered it. He opened his inventory and gently took Thalia out and put her in bed. Percy took off her shoes and socks along with her heavy jacket. He then slide a blanket on top of her causing the girl to smile at the warmth.
Percy nodded in satisfaction and slowly turned to walk away when Thalia suddenly spoke up, "Percy?"
The son of Poseidon stopped and bent down towards Thalia, "yeah sparky?"
"Humm, don't call me sparky."
Percy laughed, "whatever you say sparky."
Thalia smiled, "thanks for today. I had fun."
Percy smiled, "me too. I...I had fun."
Thalia giggled, "I loved the way you talked down to those two bimbos. You were such a great boyfriend."
Percy smiled, "thanks sparky."
"Percy?"
"Yeah?"
Thalia grabbed Percy's jacket and pulled him close. She grabbed his lips in hers as she shoved her tongue down her throat. Percy struggled for a bit in surprise but eventually gave in, 'fuck it. I want this,' he leaned into the kiss.
Thier tongues wrestled for dominance with Percy being the more skilled of the two. Thalia tasted like beer and pine wood, but Percy loved it etherway. He reached behind and ran his fingers through her hair holding her face as he deepened the kiss.
They kept close for as long as possible, breaking only to take deep breaths to begin again. Thalia was more sloppy, her motor skills were off because of the beer. Percy's mouth was covered with her saliva, but he didn't care as he simply kissed her back harder.
It felt like a second, but minutes passed. Finally Thalia broke it, she moved back as the two stared at each other. She smiled, "you taste great."
Percy then blinked as Thalia closed her eyes going to sleep with a smile on her face. The son of Poseidon slowly got up and walked out. His face was red and his body was hot. He felt his stomach roll around with a sense of giddiness.
Percy closed the door to the Zeus cabin and turned away. He looked up at the sky as he slid to the ground with his back flat on the door.
"What the fuck just happened?"
May the Fourth be with you.
