How Do You Say Gods- Last Olympian

9: MY COOKIES GET SCORCHED

A few have told me that Wattpad's been a little glitchy on the notification, but have no fear. I do update every Monday whether you get an alert or not!

PJOPJOPJOPJO

Percy looked brutally offended at the new chapter title Magnus read. Even if they weren't blue, cookies were as sacred a food to him as ambrosia! This must be the most horrible mother to ever exist to do such a thing!

...d) Going so fast you feel like your face is peeling off

"That sounds like the best rollercoaster in existence," Alex savored every word he'd just heard.

"I've never been jealous of a monster before, but that made it come close," Thalia agreed. Running as fast as an Olympic medalist and never growing tired was exhilarating, but still, the Hunters could only travel so fast and no where near immortal speed.

Percy was shifting around in his seat with a wicked smile like he'd just swallowed a bag of blue jelly beans. Blackjack might have some competition for new best ride. "Hey Nico, can you make a few more dog whistles for her? I don't know how else to call her."

"Uh, yeah, I'd be happy to," Nico grinned in surprise. It was the first time Percy had ever asked him to do something useful. Even if the process wasn't fairly easy to him by this point, he'd have studied all he needed to. Also, there was the sudden painful kind of joy in his heart as he realized, Percy didn't associate him with something bad!

"Start charging a drachma a ride at camp, just for her to run them across the field, you'd be rich in no time," Jason chuckled.

"Can you imagine the wavers they'd have to sign without a safety harness on that thing," Magnus shivered in revulsion.

"That thing would make sure all hands and feet came out the same way they came in," Percy sniffed. He had all his limbs to prove it.

"Does the feeling ever wear off?" Will asked Nico eagerly.

"Not really," Nico grinned. He didn't have anything to compare the feeling to, he'd never sat around and ridden a roller coaster, but he still looked forward to doing it every time. The rush was like nothing else he'd ever felt.

"I'd love a ride sometime," Will's smile went from languid to ecstatic in a flash. "Climbing the lava wall gets dull after the 70th win. Most of the kids won't even play with me anymore." He seemed to have a knack for feeling the grooves in the rocks for the next lift, and he'd been there so long he knew all the lava flows by heart.

"Any time," Nico's heart was racing faster than any shadow traveling had ever caused him. He hoped that never wore off either.

In other words, I thought it was awesome.

Okay, this might be the best day of Nico's life. Percy actually thought a power he could use was cool for once?!

But when Will laughed along with the others for Percy just getting something so fun without any real consequences for all of five seconds, it felt deeper. Percy's wild smile and turning to Annabeth and promising her a ride next already made the pride start to fizzle, but Will still being here felt as good as it had from the start.

So maybe this was just the best week of his life.

... it looked like Connecticut from the few times I'd been there:

"Because you're such an expert in Connecticut-ese?" Thalia snorted.

"You've traveled through Massachusetts once and Thalia nearly set it on fire, I don't consider either of you experts on the terrain," Magnus scoffed.
