Percy Jackson Short Stories

A Fishy Tale

Hi! This story was requested by Theallnightreader . And again I'm so sorry this took so long to write! I hope you all like it.

"What are you watching?" Percy asked walking into the living room of his mom's apartment.

"Something for school, why?" Annabeth asked.

"You're school is having you watch that?"

"Yes, it's for my science class, we're doing a Marine Biology unit."

"Why do you seemed so surprised?" Piper asked.

The seven were having their monthly get together at Sally and Percy's apartment. The girls have been in the living room while the boys went to Percy's room.

"Do none of you hear what they are saying right now?" Percy asked looking very confused.

"What do you mean?" Hazel asked. "They're talk about the fish."

"Yeah, sure they are," Percy agreed sarcastically.

"What's going on?" Jason asked as he come in holding a plate of Sally's famous blue cookies.

"Percy's being weird," Annabeth said as she wrote something in her notebook.

"What's he doing this time?" Leo asked.

"Hey!" Percy said. "It's not my fault Annabeth's teacher is making her watch this! How did he even get this approved?"

"What are you talking about?" Leo asked getting frustrated like everyone else.

Percy didn't say anything just took a bite of his cookie only to immediately start choking on it because of how hard he started laughing.

"Percy!" Annabeth yelled as Jason tried to help by hitting him on the back.

"I'm ok!" Percy assured everyone still laughing.

"Ok, give it up." Annabeth said, turning off the tv. "Why are you acting like this?"

"Are you being serious right now?" Percy asked.

"Yes! What's going on?"

"You really don't see how that is not school appropriate?" He pointed at the tv.

"No, it seems fine to me!" The others were quick to agree.

"Well, you all need to get your hearing checked out! Someone said The F word like six times in the last two minutes!"

"What?" Hazel asked.

"No, they didn't!" Annabeth argued.

"Um, yes, they did."

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Stop!" Jason yelled, not wanting to listen to Percy and Annabeth fight. "Percy, no one said The F Word once, let alone six times!"

"I'm telling you they did! I heard it."

"Let's play it again to see." Frank suggested.

"Yes! Let's do that!" Leo agreed quickly.

Annabeth started the video again and they all listened carefully.

"There!" Percy said less than thirty seconds later. "Right when they go past the blue fish! You can hear someone in the background say, 'get that f-ing camera out of my face'. You hear it, don't you?"

They were all very confused as to how Percy could hear someone talking who wasn't there and that no one else could hear.

"Oh my Gods!" Percy said a moment later. "It's the fish!"

"What about them?" Piper asked.

"I can talk to horses because my dad made them, just like I can talk to fish. That's why you guys can't hear the voices! It's the fish!"

"The fish are talking and you can hear them?" Frank asked

"Yes! And they do not want to be on camera." He laughed. He looked at Hazel, "they are almost as bad as Arion!"

That quickly become one of The Seven's favorite things to do when they were together, watch movies with fish or horses and have Percy tell them what was being said.

Thanks for reading! I hope you are all having a good week and Happy Thanksgiving (if you celebrate, if not Happy Random Thursday!)
