PJO FIC Mythbusters Tribute

“If it ain’t repeatable, it ain’t science,” - James F. Hyneman

“I reject your reality and substitute my own.” - Adam Savage

“Do not try anything that you are about to see at home”- Adam Savage & Jamie Hyneman

Annabeth sat silently in Bunker Nine, her boyfriend wrapped around her, as tears streamed down her face. Leo sat on her left, sobbing and wailing into Calypso’s dress. The rest of the Athena and Hephaestus’ cabins were sprawled around them. Some were wailing, others shaking. Some had been screaming, others moaning. In all, the group were mourning the end of an age, and celebrating it as well.

As the final credits of MythBusters came into fruition renewed signs of despair came into being. Leo began another round of wailing, while Calypso merely looked sadly at the television. Percy had adored the show even more than Annabeth (although he would never admit that) and he stared stoically although tears leaked out of the corners of his eyes. He inhaled slowly and whispered, “Thank you, Mythbusters. You were an amazing show. It’s been an...an...intense

ride, but this was amazing. I’ll never forget you. Ever. I swear on the River Styx.”

Even as the thunder shook the Bunker, all the demigods smiled sadly. “I love you, Seaweed Brain, I really do. I’ll never forget them, I don’t even think I can. Not even if someone poured Lethe water on me. Just like I’d never be able to forget you, Seaweed Brain.” whispered Annabeth. Leo hiccuped and continued weeping. “Gracias, Mythbusters. El show era ... hermoso, y sorprendente. Incluso en los hogares de acogida, encontré una manera de verte. Incluso aún cuando los monstruos atacaban el edificio. Gracias.”* Calypso rubbed his back and whispered into his ear. Annabeth and Percy were consoling each other silently.

On Olympus, Athena and Hephaestus nodded in approval as to the lenghthy list of mortal scientific related television series to be put on permanent display on HephaestusTV. In all, everyone was celebrating the end of an era, and how it would never be forgotten. Ever.

THE END

*Translation: Thank you, Mythbusters. You were...beautiful, and amazing. Even in foster homes, I found a way to watch you; even if monsters started attacking the building. Thank you.
