Percy Jackson Goes On Vacation

I, Percy Jackson, was on a glorious vacation on a cruise ship near the Bahamas. I was sitting at the edge of the pool, sipping blue wine while Annabeth played chess with Nico. Dark storm clouds sat at the edge of the horizon, but we ignored them.

"Checkmate!" Annabeth exclaimed after winning her fifth chess game in a row. Nico groaned and said, "I will beat you one day."

As I was watching them, I felt a sudden wave of fear. Something was wrong, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I ignored the feeling and continued to admire Annabeth. Eventually the sun went down and it was time for us to return to our quarters to sleep.

In the middle of the night, there was a loud banging on the door. I dragged myself out of bed to go open the door. Suddenly, the door blew open! A group of pirates ran into our cabin, armed to the teeth. There were three in all, all wearing ragged shirts and breeches. They quickly pinned me to the floor and knocked me out.

When I awakened, I was tied to a chair with Nico and Annabeth. "Give us your valuables or face the wrath of Captain Black Death Barney!"

"Why would you do this? Why do you waste your life robbing people out at sea?  Why are you pirates?" I was puzzled at why anyone would want to rob people.

"Why are we pirates? Well, we just arrrrrrr."
