Percy's Cross-Country Conundrum: A Tale of Turbulence and Tiny Wings
Percy Jackson, the world-renowned demigod and occasional flyer of Pegasus, recently embarked on a perilous journey: a commercial flight from the sunny shores of California to the concrete jungle of New York. Given his history of battling mythological creatures and navigating treacherous seas, you'd think a plane ride would be a breeze. Well, think again.
The Pre-Flight Panic
As a son of Poseidon, Percy has a natural affinity for water. Air, on the other hand, is not exactly his element. Imagine trying to convince a fish to climb a tree. That's basically what it was like getting Percy on that plane. He was a nervous wreck, his eyes darting around like a ping-pong ball in a hurricane. The only thing calming him down was the promise of pizza in New York.
The Flight Itself: A Rollercoaster Without Tracks
Now, commercial flights are known for their turbulence, but when you're half-god, every bump feels like a Kraken is trying to shake you out of the sky. Percy gripped his armrests like a drowning man clutching a lifebuoy. His green eyes were wide with terror, but also a hint of amusement. After all, this was a new kind of monster to conquer.
The in-flight movie? A comedy, of course. Percy laughed so hard, the flight attendants thought he was having a panic attack. Talk about awkward.
Touchdown and Triumph
When the plane finally touched down, Percy practically leapt out of his seat. He was alive! He was in New York! And he was ready for pizza. As he stepped onto the tarmac, a sense of accomplishment washed over him. He'd conquered his fear of flying. Kind of.
So, did Percy enjoy the flight? Let's just say it was an experience. A very, very Percy Jackson experience.
