PJO/HoO one-shots, short stories, and other random stuff

PERCY POV- I find out I have my own book series! #2

A/N: Part 2! Sorry if I offend anyone who likes the Percy Jackson movies or the Hobbit movies (because I kinda downplay those too). I'm not a big fan of the PJO movies (okay, that's an understatement) or the Hobbit movies, but I do not want to hate on anyone who does like them- that would be wrong and quite cruel.

Also, can I just say, I love the Lightning Thief musical and I know it's underrated because many people are scared it's like the movies, but it really isn't, it is siriusly AMAZHANG.

Okay, now that I'm done advertising, let's get to the story.

Percy POV

I was dumbfounded. I didn't think our adventures were so great that they would get 2 freaking book series, forget the 2 freaking movies.

Oh, and a MUSICAL? Out of all the words I can use to describe my past adventures, 'musical' is really not one of them. 'I saved my friends by singing to evil gigantic ants'- when would that realistically ever happen?

Leo excitedly said, "There are movies? Dude, that is so cool! Can we watch one?"

"Why not?", Grover shrugged and gave him the first movie disc to put in the monster-proof laptop Leo had fixed up.

I'll have to admit, the prospect of watching movies about ourselves intrigued me. I was getting kinda excited- I mean, who doesn't love movies? Everyone seemed to have similar thoughts, except Annabeth, who seemed a bit cautious.

"I'd advise you not to get your hopes too high. The books are always better."

To answer my own previous question, Annabeth. Annabeth doesn't love movies. She doesn't hate them, but she doesn't like them and she doesn't watch that many.

Jason questioned her, "The books can't always be better. It's probably 50-50, right?"

Annabeth replied, "You'd think, but actually, no. Think of the major examples when an adventure story is brought to cinemas that is supposedly fictional- because this movie would be written by mortals who think this is fictional. The Harry Potter movie franchise, the 3 Hobbit movies, The Mortal instruments City of Bones movie... The books are usually better." Nico and Hazel were looking really confused at these movie/book mentions, having not heard of any of these due to being from the first half of the 20th century.

Leo intervened. "Okay, I'll admit the 3 Hobbit movies were totally unnecessary and way too long and stuff, but these movies could be great. In fact, I bet you 5 drachmas that these movies will be decent."

Annabeth said, "Okay. I accept."

"Oh man, you're screwed. If there's one thing I've learned in this life, it's that you should NEVER bet against Annabeth." I had to tell Leo what he'd gotten himself into, it was my duty.

"Whatever, can we just watch?" Piper piped in. I looked around and saw that she had a point. Frank and Reyna looked a bit impatient and Hazel was trying to stifle a laugh at Piper's annoyed expression. So we turned our attention to Leo's laptop screen.

~after watching the 2 movies~

"I believe you owe me 5 drachmas." Annabeth pointedly said to Leo.

Leo gulped. "Hey, the movie wasn't that bad! I mean, I liked the bit with the- okay, I'm sorry, I can't do this. I give up! Here is your money."

Annabeth smirked as she took the money from him. I would feel more sorry for the guy, but hey, I warned him.

I really didn't like those movie directors. I was angry but amused at the same time. How could they get the story THAT wrong? People's stupidity continues to shock me, and I've done some pretty stupid things (well, I am a person, so fair enough). "I feel violated...and not in a good way."
