Cafeteria | Afternoon | Thursday | November 25

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

It was Thanksgiving Day. It was time for parades, football and food. Currently, Alex was leaning against one of the walls in the kitchen, watching the catering company set up for dinner. There was a shitload of food and his stomach growled just watching.

It was good to be president. He got to delegate everything.

When one of the caterers stepped forward and thrust a plastic wrapped garment bag in his hand, Alex frowned.

"What?"

"Outfits for the dinner," the caterer said. "The contract states that we make and you serve the food. No fulfillment of the contract, no food."

Confused, Alex unzipped the bag and peeked inside. The costume was not cool at all.

"Are you serious?" Alex asked, glaring. "No way!"

"No costumes," the caterer said, already signaling his workers to get ready to package the food up, "no food."

Alex continued glaring at the caterer and the costume. He hated his life.

"So, what're you thankful for?" Percy asked, smiling a little. "Hair gel?"

"You're hilarious," Luke said, rolling his eyes. "I dunno what I'm thankful for, I haven't really thought about it."

The food aspect of Thanksgiving had sort of caught all of his attention.

"You don't know what you're thankful for?" Percy repeated, shaking his head. "You could have just said the food, you know. Obviously, your brain is not working."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

"Food is such a lame answer though," he said. "My brain is working fine, thank you. I'm sure if I felt like it I could come up with a better answer. But I don't feel like it."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

"Because you can't," Percy retorted, smirking. "Because your brain isn't working. It's been drowned in gravy."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"Fine, what are you thankful for then?" Luke asked. "You must have a better answer since, clearly, your brain is working better than mine."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

"Thankful for my mom," Percy said, shrugging. That was an easy one. "Thankful this place has a beach. It makes the whole powers thing a little easier."

Yes, he was going to just show Luke up, if he could.

"Impressed?"

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"Not impressed," he said. "But I will allow that you can come up with more answers than I can."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Because my brain works." So there. "I could come up with a laundry list of things and you still wouldn't be impressed because you're contrary."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

Luke shook his head and picked up a roll. "Maybe I'm just not impressed easily."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

"And you're contrary," Percy said and knocked his shoulder against Luke's. "You argue because you like to argue. Big nosed jerk."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"I only argue with you," Luke said, smirking. "Mostly 'cause you look cute when you get all pissy and frustrated."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Shut up," Percy said, shoving his shoulder lightly, "before I smear mashed potatoes in your hair."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"What? It was a compliment," Luke insisted. "You are so ungrateful, on Thanksgiving of all days."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

"You're the weirdo who would see that as a compliment," Percy joked, shaking his head. "So warped. You're so warped."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

This time it was Luke giving Percy a light shove. "You're the weirdo who likes me and my warped mind. That makes you worse."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Who said I liked you?" Percy asked and tried to make the most disgusted face he could. "Ew."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

Luke shoved Percy again. "And here I thought it was supposed to be me that was the liar."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

This time, Percy shoved him back, barely managing to stop his stuffing from ending up on his lap. "Who said I'm lying? Didn't I just say I didn't like you?"

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"I'm saying you're lying," Luke said. He eyed Percy's plate. "You better be careful. It's not like you need any more detentions for fighting."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, the teacher didn't show last time," Percy said, shrugging. "I'm beginning to wonder if she's all talk and no memory or something. She wasn't there last class either, you saw. I could have punched Nico but I didn't."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

Luke rolled his eyes. "I'm so proud of you for holding back. You might be growing as a person."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

Percy shrugged and tried not to look too smug. "I am, I know. See, you're impressed now and I didn't even have to work at it."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

"I'm always impressed when you manage not to be a complete tool," Luke said. "It's a rare thing."

Re: Dinner [Thanksgiving 2010]

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Impressed is impressed," Percy said, shrugging. He'd take it. "You can't take that back, Luke."
