WARNING: THE FOLLOWING SCENE MAY INCLUDE SOME MINOR MATURE CONTENT, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU VIEW MATURE. ENJOY! 

PERCY JACKSON

They had to put noise blocking foam all over the doors and walls, as well as some on the floor to prevent anyone from complaining it was too loud. No one wanted any trouble. Just a regular party. Percy filled his shot glass with tequila.

"Squeeze some lime in my mouth," he opened, sticking out his tongue.

Renee squirted some and the sour flavor spread across Percy's tongue like wildfire. She squeezed some in her own.

"Cheers," she said, dipping her head back and letting the tequila slip in.

Percy followed suit, feeling the familiar warm feeling traveling down his throat. He felt energized, partying around the dance floor.

"WOO!" he cheered.

Renee ran over, grabbing his waist and beginning to dance like there was no tomorrow. The lights flashed, Leo DJ-ing like a badass while taking a swig of his drink.

"LET'S GET SOME ENERGY, EH?!" he hollered, slamming a hand down on the music and the music began to play.

"YOU WANT ME!" Percy screamed.

"I WANT YOU BABY!" Leo screamed back.

"MY SUGAR BOO!" everyone chorused.

"I'M LEVITATING!"

"THE MILKY WAY!"

"WE'RE RENEGADING!"

"YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!" everyone yelled.

Percy grabbed another shot, dusting salt and lime into his mouth.

"YEAHHH!" Renee yelled.

She pulled him onto the dance floor, grabbing him and pulling him in for a kiss. Cheers erupted all around the couple, the lights flashing through their closed eyelids. He checked the time.

1:46 AM.

Percy doused himself in water for pure joy, laughing as he was soaked. Renee poured herself a drink, shooting it her mouth and taking off her jacket, revealing her bikini top.

"WOO!" all the jocks yelled.

He laughed as she danced with him, twerking all the way down to the floor. Crazy In Love was playing in the background, Beyonce's high notes whistling through the penthouse. Leo and Percy filled their shot glasses.

"Cheers," Percy said, dipping back and letting some excess alcohol trickle down his face.

He licked his lips to get the lime and salt in. Percy did a jump and began to wildly dance. Bryan and Josh both grabbed more shots, Bryan accidentally falling forward and giving Josh an accidental kiss. In real life, they would've slapped each other in the face. Here? Oh, they just kept partying. Leo and  Percy grabbed Vodka and took a swig, knocking over a chair at the bar, but who cares?

For some odd reason, Percy took off his shirt, wiping off all the sweat that had gathered on his face while he was breakdancing. Tossing it to the side, not caring where it ended up, the girls screamed his name and Renee pressed up close to Percy, drunk, but laughing. People were starting to file out now, because it was 5:00 AM. Renee kissed him goodbye before stumbling out the door to her mom's waiting car in the lobby.

When the last and final guest had left, Leo and Percy both took a seat, the lights having died down, the music being silent, and just took one last shot. Percy laughed slightly, feeling everything get a bit blurry. Leo capped the drinks, shoved them back in the bar, and he had to say, this vacation was fun.

"Did you have blue cookies?" Percy said, actually meaning to say did you have fun.

"Yeah," Leo laughed.

"High-five," he held up his hand but instead of slapping Leo's hand, he slapped the couch.

Leo slapped the floor as they went to sleep, tired after a long night.

ANNABETH CHASE

Annabeth yawned, waking up. 9:00 AM. Jeez, she was late. Piper was already up, eating a Starbucks scone.

"Hey," she waved, "Got some Starbucks for us."

"Great," Annabeth grinned.

"Jason, Frank, and Hazel are going to Percy's today to hang out. Apparently, they're gonna get some lunch and go somewhere or something, so they invited us to join them."

She stiffened, but forced herself to relax.

"Oh," she managed out.

Her heart was pounding. She didn't know what this feeling was. Her hands sweated and her fists clenched.

"Annabeth? You okay?"

"Me? Oh... yeah. I'm fine," she waved it off.

Annabeth didn't really want to go. She wanted out. She wanted OUT. Not to see Percy Jackson's face... What was it about his face that made him so... so... ANNOYING?!

"Earth to Annabeth?" Piper waved a hand in front of her face.

"Oh," she shook her head, "Sorry."

"Well, we've gotta go over in a few," Piper said, applying chapstick to her lips.

PERCY JACKSON

Percy woke up to a splitting pain in his head and the world seeming to spin slightly. Hangover. Lovely. He shook Leo, who groaned, probably having the same reaction.

"Alright!" Leo stood up.

Or maybe not. He groaned from his position on the couch. Percy's body was sore from all the dancing, the action... He rolled over slightly feeling the ache in his bones. He then remembered. Hazel, Jason, and Frank were coming over soon. Percy groaned again, shoving his face in the pillow.

"You good?" Leo frowned.

"Hangover," he replied.

"Oh," Leo said, ruffling Percy's hair.

Leo was really taking advantage. Because Percy normally would've slapped his hand. He forced himself to get up, despite the urge to continue to stay down. Percy's limbs felt heavy as he staggered over to the kitchen, where Leo was currently slicing oranges and pouring a glass of water.

"Here," Leo said, taking an orange and eating it. "Aphrodite taught me when she was teaching me how to flirt with the ladies."

Leo wriggled his eyebrows smugly. Percy had to roll his eyes before he had drained the glass of water and finished all the oranges. The doorbell rang and Percy felt relieved that now, he at least felt better.

"I'll get it," Leo said.

He walked upstairs, brushing his teeth and dunking water all over himself before taking out a hoodie and some shorts.

"Hey," Leo said from downstairs.

"Whoa," Percy heard Jason's voice, "Big party, huh?"

"Yeah. Lot's of people came home drunk," Leo laughed.

"Drunk? Is that even legal?"

Wait, that was Annabeth's voice... What the... DID HAZEL CHANGE VOICES?! Damn, puberty was hitting her hard, wasn't it?

"Probably not," Leo shrugged, "But we're not addicted. We just have some when we go to parties and when we're not partying... we just stop. It's really not that bad."

"But... you could die if you drink too much! Alcohol poisoning!" Annabeth said again and Percy rolled his eyes, walking out of the room and towards the stairs.

"Which is why we have a limit," Leo replied sassily.

"And besides," Percy said from where he was at the stairs, "The legal drinking age in England is 18, and I was born in England while Mom was on vacation with my dad. So I'm not breaking any rules."

He walked down, still feeling the pounding feeling in his head.
