Annabeth's favorite holiday is Halloween. It was the one day of the year she could be anybody but her, and not get shit for trying to be something she's not. She loves that she can get wasted and forget about the world.

The hangover is always a bitch, between the sugary drinks and the literal sugar she consumes because it's an entire day dedicated to doing so, she ends up puking her guts out and feeling like crap the next day. She feels like Dia De Los Muertos is perfectly in line with how she feels the day after Halloween.

At least, she used to.

Annabeth still spends Halloween still going out, and drinking, and consuming as much sugar as she can as fast as she can. But now she has Percy to take care of her when she's hungover... and it's almost better than the night before.

Percy always shows up almost magically exactly when she needs him to be there. (A friend texts him from Annabeth's phone...usually Piper or Rachel)

He's her knight in shining armor, her personal Prince Charming, he's her Percy.

Once he gets her in the apartment, he's already gotten everything set up for her. A bedside trash-can, water, a bottle of Advil, and a bottle of Tylenol, since she downs them each as soon as she can according to the bottle.

Percy stays by her side through all of it. He'll make her laugh, despite it always=ys leading to her having to puke and when she inevitably has to puke, he'll hold her hair back, and whisper sweet nothings into her ear to calm her down. He'll hold her until she falls asleep.

By the morning, the puking has stopped but the headache increases by tenfold. Percy has already drawn the blinds closed, and is making her a special hangover cure drink. She has no clue what he puts in it but it always makes her feel better.

(Anything edible that's green, it's essentially a placebo)

Percy makes eggs and bacon, he makes her some toast with butter and a black coffee, just the way she likes it. (Two Splenda, and handed to her by a shirtless Percy)

"Thank you." She'll moan, since her voice is hoarse from screaming songs the night prior. Percy will dip his head to kiss her cheeks and nose, and then he goes to plate her food.

He really should be a professional chef, or something because to Annabeth whenever he makes her food and plates it, it looks like a work of art, and if she wasn't so hungry she probably wouldn't eat it, since it belongs in a museum or art gallery.

By two o'clock, Annabeth starts to feel like she can go to work, so she gets ready, and by the time she's about to walk out the door, the second tide hits her, and Percy gets home from the gym just in time to hold her hair back and convince her that she can miss a day in the office.

"Fine, but you have to stay with me."

"Oh no." He'll feign and then kiss her, swiftly knocking the wind out of her and taking her back to bed.
