Heroes of Olympus/Percy Jackson One Shots

Thanksgiving on the Argo II

Piper has never been so busy in her life.

With studying maps, planning the Argo II's routes and trying to decipher the prophecy, she just doesn't have time for anything else lately. Nowadays, she just sits in her cabin below deck alone while she studies maps just as she is today.

"Hey Pipes!"

Piper lifts her head from looking at a map to meet the goofy smile of Leo Valdez in her doorway. He leans back against the frame of the door and gives her the normal 'sup girl?' grin.

"Hey Leo," Piper says as she goes back to studying the map.

"Whatcha doing?" he says casually.

"Looking at a map," she says without looking up. Leo frowns at this.

"Well, that's no fun," he says as Piper looks up at him with an annoyed look on her face. "So, what map are you studying?"

"Why are you bothering me Leo?"

"I'm not bothering you!" Leo says as he moves from his position and makes his way to where Pipers is sitting, "This is bothering." Leo starts poking Piper in the arm until she grabs his wrist and gives him the 'if you don't stop, I'm going to kill you' look. Leo puts his hands in the air.

"Fine, I give up," he says as he backs away to the door, "But I REALLY need your help with something!" Piper rolls her eyes.

"Sorry Leo, I'm too busy." Leo gives Piper a really bad puppy dog face which causes a giggle to escape from Piper. She shakes her head in exasperation.

"Why is this SO important? Is the ship buring down or something?" Leo raises an eyebrow.

"You would really think that MY magnificent ship would burn down?" he says over exaggerating his disbelief. Piper rolls her eyes; she finds that she does that a lot in her conversations with Leo.

"I think you're missing the point."

"And I think you're missing MY point! Come on Pipes!" With that Leo grabs a hold of Piper's arm and begins to drag her; however, Piper acts like a ragdoll and makes her whole body go limp.

"Come on Pipes, this is not fair!" Leo groans as he only gets Piper a few inches from where she was sitting before. Her body drops the floor making it even more difficult to move her. After a few minutes of not getting anywhere, Leo throws down Pipers arm and rolls up his sleeves.

"I tried to make you come the easy way, but now I'm going to have to bring you the hard way," Leo says as he bends over Piper who is pretending that she can't move. In one swift movement, Leo hoists Piper up and begins to carry her bridal style up to the top deck. Piper starts struggling; hard.

Leo grunts as he narrowly misses getting hit by Piper who is wildly swinging her arms.

"Geez Pipes, you act as if I'm kidnapping you," Leo mutters under his breath as he slowly makes his way up the steps to the top deck. When they reach the top deck, Leo set the struggling Piper and gave her a victorious smirk. Piper sighed.

"Well now that you have me up here, what is so important?" she says, clealy agitated.

"Do you have the cornucopia?" he asks. Piper raises her eyebrow. She goes over to the other side of the ship and rumages through her bag. After a few seconds, she brings out a horned shaped object.

"This?" Leo rolls his eyes.

"No, the other cornucopia that is in unicorn land, yes that one!"

"What do we need it for?"

"Do remember what day it is?"

"No, not really."

"It's Thanksgiving!" Leo gives her a big grin, "And you know that calls for a big feast!" Piper looks down at the cornucopia and back to Leo with a questioning look.

"I don't think we're supposed to use this for that purpose Leo." He smiles.

"Since when did we ever follow the rules Pipes?" Piper chuckles lightly.

"True." Piper smiles back at him. She raises the cornucopia up and closes her eyes tightly. Suddenly huge amounts of foods start spilling out onto the decks of the Argo II. Leo's eyes light up with delight.

"Now THAT'S what I call a feast!"
