"I- I...I can't." Percy's voice broke. His hand which held a torch hovered over a miniature black and white shroud.
"It's okay, you can do it, Percy." Jason said softly. Nico, standing on the sidelines, internally face palmed as two Hecate campers carried a small coffin full of torn fluff and placed it down.
"Are they okay?!" Annabeth whispered to Piper who was groaning at the sight of their boyfriends.
"No." Nico deadpanned.
"I've learned not to question when they do weird stuff." Piper sighed.
Hades, watching from the Underworld, wondered how his nephews could be so dam stupid.
Poseidon, on Olympus was sobbing along with Zeus, who has no idea why he was mourning a stuffed panda.
"It's alright, Perce." Leo said wistfully, putting a hand on Percy's shoulder.
Calypso visibly glared at the sight of Leo taking part in a stuffed animal's funeral.
"We have gathered here today to take note of a dark event which has taken place. Our beloved Perry the panda pillow pet, has been... murdered." Chiron announced gravely.
"Not him too!" Thalia grumbled.
—Olympus—
"Perry! Why! Perrryyyyyy!!" Poseidon wailed. "He was the bravest panda I knew." Zeus sniffed.
—CHB—
"Percy, if you could do the honors of.." Chiron continued, talking about Perry's shroud, and how he went out fighting, and he was the bravest pillow pet anyone ever knew.
"Perryyyyy..." Will Solace caterwauled.
Nico gritted his teeth. "Sunshine, you actually believe this-"
"PERRRRRYYYYYYYY!" Percy's screams were loudest of all and he lit the shroud which was now reduced to ashes.
He ran over to the plate sized coffin and caressed the white and black fluffy remains of his loyal comrade.
"I will always miss you, Perry." He cried.
"We will always be there for you, bro!" Jason sniffled.
"Bro!" Percy weeped.
"Yeah, bro!"
"I love you bro!"
"Me too, bro!"
"Bro!"
"Bro."
"They're all imbeciles." Calypso scoffed. "Can't believe I liked Jackson once."
"Wait." Percy looked up, his face tear stained. "Did we ever consider the fact that he may just be injured, and not dead?"
Jason turned to Nico with widened eyes. "Neeks, did you feel Perry, you know, die?" He asked.
"Well, no, but-"
Percy shed tears of joy and bounced up and down. "HE'S ALIVE!" Leo screeched, running around and throwing espresso jelly beans everywhere.
"TASTE THE RAINBOW!" the Iris Cabin screamed, pelting everyone with Skittles.
"I'm surrounded by idiots." Nico groaned.
"PERRY!!!" Percy exclaimed excitedly.
The Hecate cabin had performed a spell which had restored the pillow pet to it's original state.
"Percy, are we done now? We're late to the school fundraiser." Annabeth rolled her eyes and gave him a kiss.
Percy laughed nervously, still cuddling the panda toy.
"Hm? Oh, yeah, Wise Girl. Perry, I'm so glad to have you back."
