When Worlds Collide

Chapter Thirteen

"Who are you?" Brom asked the two twins who had now landed in the water beside them.

"No, the question is, who are you?" asked the girl twin stupidly. Annabeth sighed.

"I'm Annabeth, this is Percy, and that is Brom." Annabeth told them, motioning to Percy and Brom "Now can you please answer our question?"

"Uh... what was the question again?" the boy said blankly.  Annabeth sighed deeper than before.

"What are your names?" She asked, starting to sound annoyed.

"Ruffnut and Tuffnut," the girl said, not caring to discern who was who.

"And who is who?" Percy asked.

"Well, duh," the girl said. "I'm Ruffnut and that's Tuffnut." Annabeth and Percy looked at each other and shrugged. Before they could say anything, the strange twins suddenly became engrossed in a shouting conversation between themselves, in which they yelled about how cool those explosions were. Annabeth chuckled under her breath at how much they reminded her of Clarisse, with all their arguing.

"Are you always this dull?" Brom asked the twins, before their argument got out of hand. This made Annabeth laugh harder.  Suddenly, a barreling roar thundered through the air. Annabeth clutched her dagger, and Percy uncapped his pen again, turning it into his sword.

 

"Can we please land now?!" Gale yelled from inside the truck. It was in the talons of a massive, mysterious dragon. They had never seen anything like it. It was covered in an armor of bones, and it had a menacing roar that almost blew their ears out when Clarisse prompted it from the dragon. Gale was clutching the side by the window, not looking down.

"No, I'm loving this!!" Clarisse yelled. She was grabbing onto the side, hanging out over the water.

"Well not everyone agrees!" Gale said back. His knuckles were turning white with the force he was using to hold on.

"You're fine, just let go." Katniss told him. "Besides, you're inside, there's no way you can fall out."

"Why don't you guys join me?!" Clarisse yelled to them, ignoring Gale's comment.

"How are you enjoying this?!" He yelled.

"How do you think?!" Clarisse yelled back.

"I swear he's trying to kill us! Or me at least." Gale said. Clarisse let out a loud "Woo Hoo!" and, holding on with her hands, letting her feet hang.

 

The twins turned to look at Brom. "What?" they said at the same time

"Just... nothing." Percy frowned, but then went back to laughing like Annabeth.

"Let's hurry and find that island. We're almost there." Brom said. Annabeth nodded, and Percy started them off, but stopped quickly.

"Wait, where are we going?" He asked Brom.

"Go a little more south from here and we should get there in about thirty minutes." Brom replied. Percy nodded, turning his hippocampus and heading that way. The others followed suit. The twins were now slapping each other madly, arguing over something insignificant.

 

"Please hurry!" Gale shouted, wanting desperately to land.

"Faster! Faster!" Clarisse yelled. The dragon seemed to like her, as it sped up. "Woo hoo!!" She yelled as it did so.

"There they are! They're in the water down there! And the twins are with them," Hiccup said. "Where are they going?"

"Hey, Hiccup, where'd you get the Boneknapper?" Tuffnut yelled up.
