Percy totally had the best job in the world. It doesn't matter if your job pays you a billion dollars a year, his was definitely the best, even if he was considerably poorer than a person who earned a billion dollars a year. Why?

Because he works at Disney World. Well, he works at Epcot. Same thing, really.

More specifically, he's a waiter at the Coral Reef Restaurant. The Coral Reef Restaurant is totally cool; it's based off of Finding Nemo (which is like, the best non-musical disney movie ever), and the walls are fish tanks that glow blue, and there are these huge fish that swim around inside. Although Percy thinks it's a tad cruel that they have an aquarium built into a seafood restaurant, the food's pretty good. Or at least it smells good when he serves it to people.

And yeah, he works four days a week and has Friday's, Saturday's, and Sunday's off which it pretty good. Even if he has another shift, at a different job. One that's just barely, slightly more awesome because it's at actual Disney world.

Percy doesn't know how he got so lucky to be hired twice by Disney, let alone once. But somehow he found himself spending his weekends at Ariel's Grotto, helping to control the lines at the meet and greet. And Little Mermaid is totally the best musical disney movie.

Another great thing about Percy's job, is that his best friends work their too. Grover, who he's known for like, a million years, works at Epcot at one of the preserve the wildlife inside tours, taking care of the plants in the greenhouse. One time he took a Percy in there with him, and Percy thought the plants looked way cooler up close then from the boat ride. His other best friend, Rachel, is freaking Ariel herself! Percy thinks that Rachel is the best person for the job, especially because she's such a hoarder. The red hair helps too.

And he's also friends with the coolest person in the whole world: Annabeth Chase. Annabeth's an imagineer, and has designed loads of rides for the parks. She was even involved in the making of Rapunzel's tower (even if Annabeth loudly complains, on a regular basis, that she'd wanted to make it big enough for people to walk around it. Percy thought that would've been amazing, and he told Annabeth this. She smiled. ) Annabeth's super smart and super pretty and Percy totally doesn't have a major crush at her. Not that Rachel or Grover believe him.

So yeah, best job in the world.

Leo thinks that being an imagineer is completely, and utterly awesome. And he totally had a blast designing the fire-breathing dragon they used in the parade. He named it Festus, but Annabeth insisted that the dragon was Maleficent. Since movie accuracy and all. Whatever. The dragon was totally a guy, and totally named Festus and Annabeth totally didn't know what she was talking about.

He tells this to Piper on their lunch break, "Annabeth doesn't know what she's talking about." He states, swirling his fork in his Mac and cheese. Piper nods, chewing thoughtfully. "She didn't even design it-- I did!"

"She designed the float." Piper comments, taking a swig of her water bottle, "The one the for Mulan, I mean. Though I'm pretty sure she did the Sleeping Beauty one too." Piper's face goes slightly sour at the mention of Mulan, and Leo can't blame her. Piper does the costumes  for Drew, the completely stuck up actress who plays Mulan in the parade. She always brags at the Amazon's (a restaurant that's near Disney which the workers go after their shift most nights), about how great a singer she is.

" Speaking of which, how's Lacy? You said she got moved from makeup with you on Drew to the guy who plays Shang." Piper nodded, leaning her head against her hand as she scoops up the rest of her salad.

"Frank." She confirmed, "He's way nicer than Drew. And according to Lacy he's dating Hazel." Leo choked on his Mac and cheese.

"Hazel?" He spluttered, "Like as in the girl who plays Tiana?" Piper nodded, violently spearing another piece of Mac and cheese.

"Yeah, she's the girl who was at the same orphanage as you, right?" Leo nodded, wrapping his hand around his glass of water and bringing it up to his lips. His mind went off track again, thinking of design for a possible restaurant that was themed for Princess and the Frog. Then Annabeth came to mind again.

"You know," Leo started, taking a sip of his water, "If I can get Beckendorf on my side, then Annabeth will totally have to admit that the dragon's name is Festus."

Piper snorted, "Like that's ever gonna happen."

Nico had the worst job in the world. Okay maybe not, but he certainly had the worst job in Disney World and that certainly had to count for something. It's not like he's asking for a medal or anything (but he definitely deserves one for not snapping after two years), but he thinks he deserves some kind of recognition for dealing with Will Solace.

You see, Nico was the guy that handed out 3D glasses at the 4D theater. Will Solace was the stupidly hot blonde guy that ran the concession stand right next to the entrance. He was always trying to catch Nico's attention by shouting for him (but like he's three yards away which doesn't make sense, and no Nico's face is not red, shut up), and one time he even threw a bag of popcorn at Nico. Which Nico may have eaten.

But that doesn't matter because all you need to know is that Will Solace was stupidly hot, and stupidly nice and just stupid because Nico had a major crush on him.

So yeah, never mind, Nico totally deserves a medal at this point.

He decides this, as he's sitting on a bench taking his lunch break. He's just about to unwrap his sandwich, when Will Solace sits down right next to him (when there's like a whole half of the bench to choose from) all smiles and sunshine and suddenly Nico's stomach is fluttering as this guy just beams at him.

"Hey Nico," he says, crossing his arms over the back of the bench, "What's up?"

Nico gives the most idiotic response ever, "The sky," But luckily for him Will Solace is the kind of guy to find that endearing, and not stupid, so he just laughs it off and the corners of his eyes crinkle.

"Clever," he notes, leaning his shoulder against the side. "Hey, do you have a sister?" He asks, propping his elbow on the top of the bench and leaning against his hand.

"Two." Nico responds uneasily, "And yeah, in case you were wondering, they both work here."

"I knew it! Take that Cecil--" He crows in victory, swinging around and jabbing his finger at the guy that people return the 3D glasses to at the 4D theater. Cecil was also on his lunch break, sitting next to a purple-haired imagineer, and holding a large diet soda in one hand. At Will's outburst he glanced over, shrugged, then turned back to finish talking to the girl, "-- wait." Will cuts himself off, and swings back to look at Nico, extremely puzzled, "Two sisters? I thought you just had one..."

Nico gives a dry laugh, "Two. My older sister Bianca dances in the parade, she's one the Aladdin dancers. My younger sister Hazel Levesque, who's my half-sister, is Tiana."

"Well I only guessed Bianca. I was talking with Leo Valdez-- he's an imagineer, used to work at the concession stand with me-- and he was talking about the show, his best friend is in the crew. Actually... I think he mentioned Hazel one time. Something about going to the same orphanage?"

Nico nods, "Yeah." Then, "I've got to eat, so if you don't mind..."

"No I don't mind. Please eat." Will gives Nico a shit-eating grin and Nico can't help the way his stomach turns over. Will makes himself comfortable, twisting around to lean his back against the bench, and crossing his legs.

When Nico notices the way his hair shines golden in the sunlight, he sighs and takes a bite of his sandwich.

I am so fucked, Nico thinks.

Thalia didn't hate her job. She loathed it.

Why? You might ask, after all she works at Disney, and gets paid extremely well.

It's simple. Thalia Grace, was Elsa.

At that point your jaw with come unhinged, your eyes will bulge, and you'll let out a sound of disbelief.

Because how-- how in the world-- can this girl be Elsa?

Sure, her skin is pale, her nose covered in freckles, and her eyes bright blue. But her out of costume her eyes are rimmed in eyeliner, her hair choppy and dyed through with streaks of blue, and she's got this worn leather jacket peppered with old Green Day buttons.

Thalia hates almost everything about her job. She hates the blonde wig, she hates the sparkly dress, she hates that Adele song that her character sings. What she doesn't hate, is Kristoff.

Kristoff is played by her friend, Luke Castellan. Also known as: The only bearable thing about her job. Thalia wasn't sure exactly how Luke got the job (seeing as he couldn't really sing and messed around a lot), but she suspected it had to do with the fact that his sister, Annabeth, was an imagineer.

Okay, yes, maybe Luke did have a way with kids. And yes, he totally captured the personality perfectly.

And yes, he was her friend. Best friend actually, and she's like, ninety percent sure that he only applied for the job after she made Elsa. Because really, why would someone willingly be a frozen character unless they were paid or had their best friend playing one too.

Luke was the one thing she didn't hate about her job. But was really made her job hell, was Zoë Nightshade.

Okay, yeah, she didn't do anything to Thalia maliciously and make fun of her, or some other stereotypical Disney shit. But something about that girl has always... irked Thalia. Maybe it was posh English accent. Maybe it was the stupid silver headband she braided into her stupid long braid. Maybe it was the fact that they had the same silver winter coat. Or maybe it was because Zoë Nightshade was trying to steal her best friend.

No, she is not over exaggerating.

Zoë was always hanging around Luke. And, yeah, maybe that makes sense because she was in charge of the entire costumes department, and yeah, maybe she had been assigned to the people playing Frozen because they were the most popular and their costumes had to be perfect-- at least according to Chiron, who basically ran the place. And, constantly hanging around Zoë, was her boss, Hercules who was the most annoying, perverted guy Thalia had ever had the displeasure of meeting.

So yeah, completely valid reasons to hate Zoë Nightshade, and Thalia Grace is so not jealous, shut up.

They're all idiots. Reyna thinks, not that she didn't know that already. But sometimes she's just reminded of their general idiotness. And yes, this is one of those times.

See, Reyna doesn't work at Disney World. But with the way business is going, she might as well be working for Disney world. Considering that practically half the staff floods into her sister's restaurant every night.

And no, she doesn't really mind because they tip decently, and sure she does know all of their names but that doesn't change the fact that they're all idiots.

She watches them in their booths, noticing the things they're all too oblivious to notice themselves.

Or rather, it's hard not to notice things when drunk Disney workers wrap around her legs (while she's balancing like, three bowls of rice in one hand, and three instant coffees in another, like actually what the fuck can't they wait until after she's set the stuff down? Not that she wants them to wrap around her legs in the first place... But if they're gonna can they at least be fucking polite about it?) and sob their tales of woe about romance, crushes, or something equally as stupid as you'd expect to hear from an extremely drunk person.

And then, of course, they'd forget all about it the next day leaving Reyna paying way too much attention and actually caring about whether the fuck Nico DiAngelo gets together with the blonde guy from the concession stand because the one person (the one person) she thought was sane in the whole of Disney World (because she could no longer count in Annabeth Chase after she learned why she actually disliked Rachel Dare) got drunk and sobbed to her for two freaking hours about the stupidly-hot-guy that works at the concession stand while following her everywhere as she attempted to actually do her job.

And as Reyna leans against the wall for a moment, absentmindedly rubbing the tattoo on her forearm, she totally does not find herself sighing in exasperation at Nico while he talks to his sisters (who, now that she thinks about it, are pretty sane since they've never drunkenly cried to her-- though she's pretty sure Bianca is engaged to some guy named Ethan but it's not like she tries to keep up on the latest gossip) and an attractive blonde guy, who she assumes is the 'stupidly hot guy' Nico cried to her about, fucking stares at Nico from another booth and Reyna swears she can see the cartoon hearts that have replaced his eyes.

"Reyna! Order for table seven!"

Reyna sighs, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "Coming!" She looks back over at the Disney workers and gives a slight smirk. They really are idiots.

But hey, they're idiots that tip really well.
