The life of Annabeth Chase (a Percy Jackson Fanfic)

I Won't Dress Like That Piper

Oh by the way we don't own PJO, HOO or any of the characters.

Annabeth P.O.V

After five hard weeks of school and trying to persuade Piper into letting me get a job, it was finally time for Halloween. Well, a week before Halloween, but whatever. I know that I don't seem like the type of person to like Halloween, but I was excited because my 'Mommy and Me' group was throwing a Halloween party, and I was sure Charlie would love it.

"Oh come on Annabeth!" Piper groaned waving a costume magazine in front of me. "You would look great in this one!" She gestured at a picture featuring a gorgeous model wearing a 'sexy nurse' costume.

"You do realize how ridiculous you're being Piper." I sighed, "I'm going to a Mommy and me party, not a collage party." I swatted away the magazine.

"But you would look so good" Piper whined.

"I already have my schoolgirl costume anyways." Piper perked up and opened her mouth. "No Piper, not a sexy schoolgirl, I'm just going to wear a white button down shirt with a plaid skirt." She slumped back on the couch dejectedly. "And I have Charlie's book costume already made."

Piper was about to try another argument when Hazel came down the stairs with Charlie in her arms.

"Thank you Hazel, for saving me from this costume monster." I said glancing at Piper as I got up and took Charlie from Hazel. She stuck her tongue out at me. "Oh come on Annabeth, I'm not that bad! If you won't do it for me do it for Percy!" She begged.

"I've told you a thousand times Piper, Percy and I are just friends, and even if we weren't I would still have to say no." I glanced down at Charlie who gurgled up at me.

"If it makes you feel better Annabeth," Hazel chimed in, "Piper has tried to make me do it too."

"And to no avail!" Piper added with a dramatic sigh.

"Piper, no one wants to be a 'sexy ladybug.' How is that even a thing anyway?" Hazel giggled.

"Whatever." Piper pouted and looked away. "Just don't be expected to get asked out or anything."

I raised my eyebrows and looked at Hazel, who wore the same sly smile. "So that's why you're doing all this." I said.

"Doing what?" Piper responded with a suspicious glance.

"Wearing a sexy costume like you've been bugging us about!" I exclaimed.

"And all to impress Jason," Hazel said, shaking her head mournfully and trying to hide her smile.

"That is not why!" Piper shouted, blushing furiously. I shot her a frustrated glare as Charlie started wailing.

I went into the kitchen to get a snack for me and a teething ring for Charlie. I opened the freezer where I had frozen his teething rings and pulled a blue one out. Charlie grabbed for it and began gnawing on it ferociously. I opened the cupboard and got out some chips, then walked back to the living room where our debate from earlier was still going on.

"Guys," I said, interrupting them, "Lets just drop it." They both shrugged, and Piper took a lunge for my chips. I quickly turned away so she fell on the floor.

I shook my head and wagged my finger in mock disappointment. "Now Piper, these are my chips." She groaned from the floor as I laughed.

"You're like the mom of this family" She said getting up. My happy demeanor faded. Did I seem like a mom? Would people notice? Oh gods maybe they all knew! Now my reputation would be ruined at this school too.
