PERCY POV- I find out I have my own book series! #1 (also exactly 1000 words)


A/N: Ok, this was a relatively 'spur of the moment' chapter. If there are any major plot-holes or something, please tell me, and sorry about them. Thanks.

Percy POV

Oh. My. Gods.

Have you ever just randomly one day found out that there was a published book series based on you? No? So it's just me then?

There was a whole stack of books in the corner of some bookshelf in the library. At least, that's what Annabeth told me when she came running up to me and told me she found it. I wasn't actually in the library- I mean, come on.

I had written all of my adventures down, because I felt like I needed something to record how insanely weird my life was. It was just to pass time, to be honest, something to do while not thinking about my impending death. How the Hades was it published? Heck, it even had illustrations on the front, I mean that's professional.

About half an hour later, Leo, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Reyna, Nico, Annabeth and I were all hanging around my cabin (there was no one else there, as Tyson was out with Ella) while Annabeth just opened a random page and then started to read a bit of one of the books. As much as she hates to admit it, she has dyslexia too, so it took her a little while to get through the section she was trying to read.

"Hang on... I remember this. 'We check in to C.C's spa and resort', remember? That's where you were turned into a guinea pig by Circe, right, seaweed brain?"

I could literally feel the blood rushing to my cheeks. How could I forget being turned into a freaking guinea pig? I did not enjoy that experience. I like my human body, thank you very much. As I looked around the room, I could tell quite a few of them were, let's say, amused by the whole 'me turning into a guinea pig' stuff. I also knew that they weren't trying to hide it whatsoever. Wow, I have such great friends.

Then Reyna spoke. "I remember that. My sister, she saw you there. I was angry with you guys for a long time after you let those pirates loose, but I guess we're friends now, so it all worked out for the best."

Annabeth said, "I guess it did." She laced her hand into mine and after a slight pause, she turned to me with a knowing smile and said, "You made a cute guinea pig." I chuckled, remembering that time in the labyrinth, and it was a totally romantic moment until Jason, who was holding another book and reading a page off it with Leo peering over his shoulder, said, "Oh hey, it says that in this book!"

"Okay, just give that to me..." I decided to take the book from him before he read on to some more personal stuff. Then Frank suddenly said, "'Even before he got electrocuted, Jason was having a rotten day.'" We all stared at him. Finally Leo broke the silence, "Wait...what?"

Frank flipped forward a bunch of pages in the book."Okay, here's another line. 'Gimme a nylon bristle detail brush, some nitrile gloves,and maybe a can of that aerosol cleaning solvent.'"

Piper piped in, "Sounds like something Leo would say. I'm not sure the rest of us know what those are." "Or maybe that's something I already said", Leo said. One look at him and you knew that the gears in his brain were turning rapidly. "Is there a book series about us too?"

It took me about 2 minutes to process what he was saying. Not another book series. Was that even possible? Then, Frank picked up another a book and found a page. "'Will rolled his eyes. 'Fine, Death Boy. If you want to get yourself killed -' 'Do not call me Death Boy!'' ... So yeah, this stuff seems to be about us. I can only assume this stuff happened to Nico."

Nico rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, during the battle with Gaia. A certain son of Apollo and I were arguing after defeating some of Octavian's Romans." He tried to come off as casual, but it totally failed because of Nico's faint blush (yeah, sure,'faint', uh-huh) at the mention of the 'certain son of Apollo'. It was Will Solace, I guessed.

Things weren't too awkward between me and Nico anymore (Annabeth is peering over my shoulder as I write this incident down in a notebook...she says the grammar should be 'Nico and I', but I'm feeling rebellious today, so I'll leave that the way it is). Anyways, he had become a really good friend by then, but I wasn't planning on pushing my luck by teasing him about Will Solace (I may have seen him in some of his most vulnerable moments, but the kid still scares the Hades out of me sometimes).

Also, after the number of people who'd told me that they liked me and I had no clue until they told me, I had made a New Year's resolution to try to be a bit less oblivious to other people's romantic feelings (I am proud to say, that I guessed right, and they are together now- I don't know why I'm so proud, but I am).

Suddenly, Grover burst through the door, his face flushed from the cold. He was holding something in his hand.

"Hey man, you will not believe-" I started but he cut me off.

"Yeah, I know, we have a book series about us. I was with Annabeth when she found that. Once she left to tell you, I found something else. We apparently have a musical. We also have movies."

~End of part 1~

A/N: Okay, not exactly a cliffhanger, but no one likes the mention of the movies. If you do, then I highly recommend not reading this book.

Ciao!
