10A/N: So this is a step off of the well-worn track of Max Ride fan fictions for me. This is my first PJO fan fiction. So I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO. Or the song.
Christmas You and Me: Percy
It's seven o'clock and I'm on my way
Eating the miles down this highway
Say that you'll wait for me
To light up the Christmas tree
Percy sat in the backseat of the taxi, tapping his foot impatiently. The driver was caught in traffic. This was just great. He'd promised Annabeth that he'd be back at camp for Christmas. And now he was going to be late. "Hey, sir? Do you have a phone I could use?" The taxi driver handed him a cell phone. Percy dialed Annabeth's number.
"Percy? Is that you? Were are you?"
"Now, Annabeth, I know I promised I would be back for Christmas, but I'm stuck in traffic. There's nothing the driver can do about it. It must be an accident or something. I'm sorry, honey, but I'm going to be late - " Annabeth hung up before Percy could finish. Percy sighed and handed the phone back.
Tell you the first thing that I'ma do
Holding and squeezing, and kissing you
Under the mistletoe
Girl, I've been missing you so
Percy felt a tear roll down his face. He'd been gone for the year at school. His mom had insisted. He'd missed Annabeth so much. He'd spent all semester waiting to go back to camp and see her. And now she was mad at him for being late.
This is the first holiday we'll spend
Every night I pray that it never ends
Feels like meant to be
When I have you next to me
Can't wait to have you to myself
'Cause I need you and no one else
There's no place in this world I'd rather be
'Cause you're the only present that I need
The perfect combination is Christmas, you and me
The perfect combination is Christmas, you and me
Finally, finally, traffic starts moving again. Percy almost asked the driver for the phone again, but decided against it. His being just on time would be his gift to Annabeth. After all, she'd ignore the call anyway. But he found himself asking for the phone again.
As predicted, Annabeth ignored the call, and it went straight to voicemail. Percy hung up and handed the phone back, thanking the driver.
It's 11 o'clock and I'm almost home
I'm just calling to let you know
Leave on the light for me
Soon we'll make us some (not in the lyrics)
And I saw Santa is on his way
I saw Rudolph pulling the sleigh
Donner and Blitzen too
And he's got some presents for you
This is the first holiday we'll spend
Every night I pray that it never ends
Feels like meant to be
When I have you next to me
Can't wait to hold you to myself
'Cause I need you and no one else
There's no place in this world I'd rather be
'Cause you're the only present that I need
The perfect combination is Christmas, you and me
The perfect combination is Christmas, you and me
Percy glanced at the clock on the dashboard, watching the time race by. 11:50, 11:51, 11:52… Percy sighed heavily. Perhaps he would be late, even after the taxi driver had booked it from the site of traffic. 11:58, 11:59, it was midnight. "Sir? This is a strawberry farm. Are you sure this is where you want to be?" Percy looked up. "Yes. Thank you," Percy stepped out of the taxi and started walking up the hill. The Apollo campers were out on the top of the hill, singing Christmas carols.
I hear sleigh bells ringing and carolers singing
And smothered turkey's that grandma's bringing
I see children playing in the snow
It's Christmas time and I know well
That when I see you I just might melt
If you don't know by now you need to know
That I can't wait to have you to myself
'Cause I need you and no one else
There's no place in this world I'd rather be
See, you're the only present that I need
The perfect combination is Christmas, you and me
Oh, the perfect combination is Christmas, you and me
The perfect combination is Christmas you and me
Is Christmas, you and me.
Percy finally made it to the Athena cabin. He knocked on the door, praying that Annabeth hadn't fallen asleep. What seemed like hours passed, but finally the door opened. Percy found himself staring into Annabeth's grey eyes. "Percy?" she asked disbelievingly. "Hi, Annabeth. Merry Christmas," Percy smiled. "I don't understand. You called and said you were stuck in traffic…" Annabeth's voice died out as she realized it was a Christmas gift from the gods. She smiled and pulled Percy close. "Merry Christmas, Percy," she whispered, kissing him.
A/N: Happy Holidays! This has been my first holiday fan-fic. Review? :D
