@chxme liked for a starter !!!
♆ His sugar intake was outrageous. Normal people don’t acquire a container of 500 Pixy Stix then eat half of them in one go. Then again, normal people don’t consume 5 bags of Fun Dip packs in one go either and he’s also done that. Screw the normal people they have so sense of adventure. There is nothing quite out there like a sugar high.
His metabolism runs through it so quick.
Percy could count on one hand the amount of times he’s experienced a sugar high. Each and every time it took way more then whatever some normal person eats. He could, theoretically, blame the demigod thing but technicalities. Either way. Sugar high. Good stuff.
Anyway, lying under a tree with a large container of Pixy Stix had seemed like a good idea at the time, but now he was generally upset at the flavors left. Purple candy was disgusting. Grape was such a horrible flavor. Who thought it was a good idea ??? Percy was willing to travel back in time and fix this fatal error. Lemon and orange could be forgiven but grape was atrocious.
The tree seemed pretty happy today.
Ignoring the slight chill, a breeze shook the branches. The little buds a cheery red. Bright and shiny in the mid day light. Kinda reminded him of cherry candy. You know? The kind that doesn’t taste like the shit grape advertises. Gods he hated grape candy.
Ripping open the next stick, Percy downed the orange sugar like a shot. A shot of pure wonder. Man he really did like Pixy Stix next time he should mix the flavors. If there was a next time. It’s not like containers of these things were common. He was more likely to find the off brand ones then the true gift. With a happy hum the demigod grabbed for the next one. It only took a moment for his face to scrunch up in annoyance. Cept the grape ones.... They won’t make it into the Pixy Stix party. Glaring at the purple monstrosity in his hands he threw it at the tree trunk.
Harmlessly it bounced off and landed on the ground by his legs. Dumb thing couldn’t even break on its way down. Deplorable.
