Percy

Today was probably one of the weirdest days of  Percy life and that's saying a lot. First Percy and Annabeth's parents show up in the Underworld to help them out and then two small packages appeared out of nowhere. One appeared right in front of Annabeth's feet and she tripped over it and landed on her face.

Percy had to try his hardest to not burst out laughing. When he looked up at Poseidon he saw that Poseidon was also trying to restrain a laugh. Then at the exact same time Athena and Annabeth scowled at them so viciously that both Percy and Poseidon both immediately straightened up.

The other package popped up right in Percy's hand. Annabeth looked at him with a crazed look in her eye. "Hey I don't know why it actually landed in my hand and oh look it's a watch." Percy wasn't joking. In his box there was a plain black watch kind of like a mix between the G-shock and the iPod watch. Annabeth was sent a watch too. Percy was just wondering who would go through the process of giving them a watch in Tartarus when Annabeth let out a squeal.

"What's wrong Annabeth?" Percy asked, but she just kept staring at the watch. Percy was wondering what was so interesting about her watch, when he looked down at his own and figured out why she was staring at her own. Their watches were changing. It was as if it was adapting to their likings. Percy's watch started turning sea green just like his eyes and grew blue shells around the frame. The G-shock button had a green trident.

Percy thought it looked amazing but of course it did. It designed itself from his mind. Annabeth's own looked pretty cool too. It was storm cloud gray with different types of architecture around the frame. The button had a magnificent owl on it. Just then both watches started vibrating. Percy was wondering who would be calling him already. All he had to do was think "answer" and it would. So up popped a face he didn't expect. This person had a sloppy set of hair on his head, just like Percy's but longer and shaggier. His voice was as pale as a ghost and his eyes were pitch black. He was staring into the face of the son of hades himself, Nico di Angelo.

Nico smiled at Percy. "Good to see that you are still alive" Nico chuckled.

"What did you expect of me Nico? I'm a super powerful demigod." Percy joked. Then he heard Poseidon cough behind him. He turned to see everybody staring at him. Poseidon was trying not to laugh. Geez, Percy was starting to think that Poseidon was more of a goofball than Leo.

Then, of course he saw Athena staring at him with her nose scrunched up like he was an interesting pair of old dirty gym shorts. The way she made that face reminded him so much of Annabeth that he almost called her that. Even though Annabeth was amazing, he doesn't think the Goddess of Wisdom will appreciate being called her daughter's name.

Speaking of Annabeth, she was the only one not staring at him. She was looking intently at her watch. She was talking with a concern in her voice.

"What do you mean they were arguing and then they started to fight?" Annabeth said. Percy looked back at his watch. He just realized that Nico had a guilty look on his face. "Nico..." Percy started. "What did you do? And where did that scratch on your eyebrow come from?" Nico turned his face from the watch, and started whispering something to Hazel. He caught Hazel say "you better tell him or I will." Percy could tell she was trying hard not to laugh.

Nico turned his face back to the watch and had a concentrated look on his face, as if he was thinking of a way to word what he had to say.

He finally opened his mouth and said "Me and Jason had a bit of an argument..."

"And he did that to your eye." Percy interrupted. He didn't mean to be so loud but Percy was seething with rage. Everybody, all four people, were staring at him, but Percy didn't care. That's when he heard Nico clear his throat trying to get Percy's attention. When Percy turned back to his watch there was a brief look of confusion on Nico's face but it was gone just as fast.

"Percy..." Nico started "I'm ok it's not that bad."

Then Hazel popped into view. The first thing Percy noticed about her was the wicked grin she had on her face, like she and Nico had an amazing inside joke. Then he noticed her golden colored eyes like rays of sunlight. With her caramel colored hair flow around her almond-chocolate colored skin. She was like the sister he never had. She was only thirteen, but from the way she acts you would think she was much older. Percy finds himself leaning on her for emotional support more than he would ever admit.

"Hey, Percy, you should probably worry more about Jason than Nico." Hazel said, still with that sly grin she adds "He looks way worse than Nico." Percy really wants to know what happened.

"So..." Percy prompted "what happened?" Nico kept squirming in his seat like he felt embarrassed trying to talk about. Then Hazel piped up and said "For crying out loud Nico, it's not that embarrassing. Long story short, Nico and Jason bumped into each other and they had a fight where they were both got minor injuries."

"Oh..." Percy said, but he wasn't really listening. Something about the way Nico looked bothered him. He must have been staring pretty hard because Nico turns his head away and asks "What are you staring at Percy."

"Oh my bad, I was just wondering, did you get taller?"

"Yea, it's just a growth spurt." Percy thought it was something more decided not to say anything. Whatever happened, he feels like something has permanently changed inside of Nico.
