Chapter Text
"PERCY NO!! YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR!!"
"I WANT TO EAT IT!!"
"IT'S TOOTHPASTE!!!! THAT MUCH COULD KILL YOU!!!!!!!"
"BUT IT'S BLUE!!!"
Leo grinned from his spot in the tree. He knew that the tube was filled with ketchup, but Jason and Percy didn't know that. He'd given the tube to Percy and told him that it was blue toothpaste, so it was extra delicious. Percy had been ecstatic. He'd rushed off to tell Annabeth, and Jason had been there, and he'd panicked, and then . . .
Leo was loving it.
He thought Annabeth might be loving it too, from the way she was grinning.
"Seaweed Brain-" She started.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" Percy wailed.
He cast a glare at Jason, tilted his head back, and squirted the contents of the tube into his mouth.
He paused, confused. "It's not blue." He muttered. "And it tastes like tomatoes."
Jason took that moments to confiscate the tube, grabbing it from Percy's hands while he was distracted and flying away with it.
Percy ran after him, and Annabeth ran over to the tree.
She peered at Leo as he dropped down. "You did this, didn't you?"
Leo grinned at her. "What gives you that idea?"
"You're sitting in a tree watching it happen." She popped one hand on her hip.
"How could you accuse me of such a thing?" Leo demanded jokingly. "I would never. I mean honestly!!!"
Annabeth rolled her eyes, grabbed his arm, and started dragging him towards the Aphrodite cabin.
"Where are we going?" Leo asked.
"To Piper, so you can tell her what happened and see what she has to say about it." Annabeth smirked at him.
Leo's face paled. "O-Oh. Um . . . I-I really don't think that's necessary, I mean-" He laughed nervously. "It wasn't that big a deal, right?"
Annabeth grinned wickidly as knocked on the door. "Oh Piper!" She called in a singsong voice.
Piper opened the door and glared at Leo.
"What did you do now?"
