"PERCY!" Annabeth squealed and darted behind the old plastic covered white sofa.
Percy waved the paintbrush in front of her tauntingly.
An aqua blue tint of paint dotted on her nose.
"I'm going to get you for that." she scowled.
"I dare you." he challenged with his signature smirk.
Annabeth jumped over the sofa and jabbed her paintbrush at him but he sidestepped the attack and gave Annabeth a streak to her arm.
More intent, Annabeth pushed the brush in his direction.
"Think fast!" a voice behind him yelled. Packaged paint brushes fell from the air, about to hit Annabeth. Swiveling, Percy grabbed the plastic missiles.
Annabeth took her chance and body slammed Percy sending them both to the ground. Triumphantly Annabeth sat on Percy's chest and squished the paintbrush into his face. Piper was grinning in the background.
"No fair! It was a two attack distraction!" Percy declared while Annabeth painted his nose.
He considered flipping her off him but he might hurt her. Better to be defeated than sorry.
"Hey! You're going to get paint on the floor!" Jason slipped in from the window with more aqua paint in a can.
"Just let me finish" Annabeth looked down at him carefully painting every inch of his face with blue. Percy let her. Her grey silver sparkling almond shaped eyes were dancing with humor, her long plush princess curls up in her usual ponytail with little curls that had sprung loose tucked behind her ear. The one dot of aqua blue standing out on her cute ski slope nose contrasting her tan skin. The white blue paint speckled shirt loose against her body.
You know how some people can be stunning but just adorable at the same time? Beautiful and adorable. Something that Percy thought clicked right with Annabeth.
"Hey lovebirds, are you actually going to help?" Leo dipped his paintbrush in the can and continued lathering the once white wall in an even layer of blue.
A light pink that matched her lips sprinkled over Annabeth's face in a soft blush. She rolled off Percy's chest grumbling under her breath. Standing up Percy brushed off the dust and spread his arms wide.
"How do I look." he asked.
"Like a dork." Hazel giggled.
Percy took a deep bow "Thank you Mademoiselle"
"Hey Leo, the other wall is dry now. Do you wanna set up the wall climbing majig?" Frank wiped his big hands on his jeans.
"Naw I'll set up the slide first" Leo plopped his paintbrush down.
The secret room Percy and Jason had created was coming together already. The Foosball had been cleaned and fixed, the sofa was bought a new cover (because the sofa was disgusting before) Annabeth's family weren't back until next Saturday and that was worlds away.
The little lair they had made was actually really spacious. One 90 degree corner where one window was and another identical window was on the opposite side. One in, one out. Leo set up a white plastic glossy tunnel slide in the 90 degree corner right where the first window was. Obnoxious whirrs of electric screwdrivers and banging of rubber mallets plagued them for an hour before he was finally being even close to done. Meanwhile Piper had been crawling in and out (with the help of a ladder up against the wall) the other window on the other side of the room carrying in battery/solar powered ceiling lights, rolled up rugs, side tables, a coffee table, even an Xbox (Though Percy doubted Annabeth would use it). Percy and Frank went back to the beetle and retrieved a large flat screen TV and console from the trailer.
