High Kick! {Piper}

{ Third Person }

"Oh really?" Piper teased, hands on her hips. Percy leaned forward, his eyes lit up. "Oh yeah. I'm not losing to you, beauty queen." Piper flipped her hair over her shoulder, "It's on. Truth or dare?" Percy paused before answering, "Dare." There was a brief moment of silence before Piper responded. "Alright, I dare you to get in a closet with Nico for 2 hours." Piper said, smiling when Percy froze. "Fine. And if we do it, then you have to do whatever dare I tell you." Percy warned, sticking out his hand. "Swear on the River Styx." Piper sighed and shook his hand, "I swear." Thunder rumbled in the distance, and the pair knew the pact had been made. Piper pulled out a clock and announced, "Ready when you are."

"So, uh, how you doing?" Percy said nervously, shoulder to shoulder with Nico in the cramped space. There was an awkward silence. "Ok." Minutes passed as the two teens stood in uneasy quiet. "How did you get locked in this closet with me anyway?"

"Ha ha!" Percy yelled as he slammed the closet doors open. "2 hours. Right here. NOT DEAD!" He ran up to Piper and smirked. Nico calmly walked out of the closet, giving Piper a quick wave before shadow traveling away. Piper glared at the raven-haired teen. "Whatever. Your turn." She grumbled. Percy's smile stretched across his whole face. "Ok beauty queen, here's what you have to do."

"I hate this. I hate you." Piper growled as she punched Percy on the arm. "Hey," he shrugged, "It was your idea to play truth or dare, not mine." Piper glared harder. "Campers!" Chiron addressed the camp, "Our game of capture the flag will be a little bit different from the usual sessions." He continued, "Campers will still be playing against each other, but they will also be fighting against monsters." The crowd erupted into whispers. "This is just a training experience for the new campers, and practice for the older ones. The no killing rule still stands for campers! Have fun, LET THE GAMES COMMENCE!" The conch horn blew, and the teams sprinted off into the woods. Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Leo, and Nico were all on the red team along with some other campers, both new and old. "Hey, where's Pipes?" Jason asked Annabeth as they gathered into formation around the flag. She shrugged and pointed to Percy. "I don't know, but Percy might." Jason nodded. "Hey Perce, do you know where-" Jason was cut off by the son of Poseidon. "Oh, she'll be here Sparky. Just you wait." Jason stared at Percy, a confused look adorning his face. Annabeth just muttered something along the lines of "Seaweed Brain" under her breath. For a split second, everything froze, and then, from under the brush, strode Piper and the Aphrodite cabin. Adorned in a purple leotard and red high-heels, Piper led the dazzling girls to the front of the formation. "W-wow Piper, what's with the new outfit?" Percy said, struggling to maintain a straight face. Piper glared daggers at the hero, pulling at the pink gemstones and flattening the flouncy pink skirt. "This is the closest I am getting to full on pink." She seethed, eye twitching. "P-Pipes? What's with-" the blonde was once again cut off as a large group of monsters charged out from the dense cover of the forest. Piper cursed and growled "Stupid......never again...... I'll get him for this..." She turned around and drew her dagger. "Alright girls, are we ready?" The Aphrodite cabin nodded, and Piper began. "5,6,7,8!" The Aphrodite girls moved as one unit, leotards and skirts shining in the setting afternoon sun. "Sashay, sashay, slice, slice, three-step-turn!" Piper called out the moves, each girl executing them with precise precision, slicing and cutting down monsters as they twirled and danced. "And skewer, skewer, HIGH KICK!" Piper shouted, impaling two monsters and taking the third one's head off with the heel of her shoe and the force of her kick. "And POSE!" Piper yelled, sheathing her weapon and posing dramatically. There was silence as the seven and the campers took in the spectacle of the well-planned dance fight that just took place. "Well?" Piper asked impatiently, "Rate me Jason. 1 to 10. How did I do?" Jason's face turned bright red as he looked at his girlfriend in the tight leotard and short skirt. "U-um well you did great, so I give you a 10." He looked down at the ground. Percy burst out laughing, doubling over and holding his stomach. "Oh man, that was priceless!" He laughed, sea-green eyes lit with mischief. Annabeth looked at Piper with one eyebrow raised. "Piper, what was that? Your outfit isn't really, um, battle attire." Pipers face turned red and she wheeled around to come face to face with Percy. "Out of ALL THE THINGS you could have chose, you picked THIS!" She hollered, earning a new fit of laughter from Percy. Hazel's eyes glowed with happiness as she struggled to keep her laughter contained. "Oh that was good." Percy sighed, wiping away fake tears. Piper turned on her heel and said one sentence. "Truth or Dare with Percy." Everyone's faces registered understanding, and one by one, they collapsed into a fit of laughter. "That's on you," Annabeth laughed, "Percy's an expert at truth or dare. You can't beat him." Piper rolled her eyes. "Yeah. I figured." A triumphant cheer rose up into the air as a member of the red team crossed into the boundary with a blue flag in tow. A round of victory cheers sounded from the Aphrodite cabin, Nico, the 7, and the new campers. "Look Pipes, your dance routine was good luck! Maybe you should do it more often!" Hazel teased. "Skewer! Skewer!" Percy mimicked, flailing his arms about. Piper glowered at the group, and everyone laughed. "Don't worry Pipes, your new special move is the high kick!" Jason snickered. Piper smiled before her face fell into one of shock. "Hey!"
