Ignorance is Bliss(A Percy Jackson One-shot)

Ignorance is Bliss

A frail boy dressed in tattered and torn clothes drags himself through the streets of Manhattan, New York. He was covered in dirt and dried blood, with wounds open and gushing the horrible metallic scented liquid.

He dragged himself to the doors of the tall, shiny building, and pushed open the doors, pausing for a moment as the cold air rushed past him.

He dragged himself through the air conditioned, pristine lobby, leaving a trail of blood and grime on the perfectly clean floor. His hands reached up for the top of the desk and he pulled himself up, looking the security guard in the eye.

"Hey buddy! Give me the key to the six hundredth floor, pal!"

The guard looked at him strangely.

"Don't you know who I am? Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheehee"

The guard backed up a little and shook his head as the boy laughed maniacally.

"Then I'll let you in on a little secret. Come closer."
The boy made a 'come hither' motion with his finger.
The guard cautiously lent forward as to not upset the clearly mad boy.

"My name...is Percy Jackson"
The boy, now identified as Percy Jackson, whispered in the guards ear before leaning back with his hands clutching the edge of the desk and laughing his heart out.

The guard got a look of horror on his face, then quickly grabbed a key card and guided the insane boy into the elevator, thrusting him the key card, and making sure the elevator door had shut.

The boy, now in the elevator, leant forward and examined the many buttons.

'Oooh buttons!'
'Let's press them!'
'But which ones?!'
'All of them!!!'

Percy smiled and ran his hand over all the buttons, pressing on each one.

The elevator went up each floor, and each time it went to a floor, he let the door open before holding the 'close' button down and making it so that the waiting people could not enter the elevator. He laughed.

When the elevator finally reached the top, he sighed.

Should we go to Olympus now?
No!
Why should we?
Let's go all the way back down!
Ooh yeah! Then! We can go up to Olympus.
Ooh yeah! Yeah! Great idea! Thanks guys!!!

He let the elevator take him back down, and when it reached the lobby, he let it open. Standing by the door, chewing his finger nails nervously, was the security guard. When the security guard saw him, the guard pushed everyone back then got on the elevator, grabbing the key card and inserting it into the slot, blocking the buttons, so they could not be pushed.

The boy giggled and jumped up and down. The guard reached out and grabbed the boy's shoulders, pausing him down so that he was on his knees, with the guard making sure he couldn't move. The boy giggled.

"Hey! Mister security man!"

"Yes...?"

"Always remember...uh...um...dam!"
The boy giggled again.

"Goldfish don't like milk!"

"Okay..."
The guard responded. Then he sneezed.
