*set in the present*

Holly POV

I've been sick for three days now. It's annoying as Hades.

I can only get up to go to the bathroom, and when I'm in bed Mom tells me to move as little as possible. I have freakin ADHD! That's impossible!

At least Pippin's been with me most of the day. He gives me daily updates of camp. Drew is flirting with everyone, Lily and Leo are cracking jokes 24/7, Hank is being smart, the usual.

It was another annoying sunny day, and Pippin came around 11. "Hey," I semi-cheerfully greeted him when he got to my room.

He sat on the edge of my bed. "Hi. I slept in."

"That's unusual," I muttered sarcastically.

Once he came in around 2 in the afternoon and I lied and said it was 10 in the morning. It was entertaining.

He rolled his eyes. "Very funny. Do you need anything?"

I hesitated. Then I grinned. "Go get me some grapes." He smiled and got up.

A few minutes later he returned with a bag full of grapes. "You're welcome."

Pippin was the only surprised when I had finished the bag within two hours. Percy walked in and asked, "You just finished it? Usually it doesn't take you this long." Pippin looked even more confused.

I made a face at him. "I'm sick, I can't eat it all in under 30 minutes." Yes, that's how long it usually takes me. If I'm hungry and I don't rush.

Pippin just shook his head. "Your family is so weird."

I almost burst out laughing. "When you're gone, your dad forces me to have video game tournaments with him!" Pippin waited. "Not that I mind...but that's not the point," I muttered. He grinned and hugged me.

"I'm going to get food, see you later."

"You can just get some food from the fridge," I said.

He laughed. "You kidding? I'm going out." He ran out, me protesting until he left our apartment.

I waited around a while, since it wasn't like I could leave. Percy brought me my 3DS and I played that Animal Crossing game a bit. It was fun.

Pippin came back around 5 with three bags of grapes. I raised an eyebrow.

"What the heck are you doing?" I asked him.

"I'm going to time you," he said. "Eat all three of these bags of grapes."

"What do I get out of this?" I wondered aloud.

"Grapes." He grinned as I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not hungry,"I protested.

"Fine," he said simply. "We'll do it when you're feeling better."

"You're on," I said, grinning.

•four days later•

Pippin came in through my window, both confusing and scaring the crap out of me. "Hey."

I got up and kicked him in the shin. As he screamed in pain, I asked him why he barged in though my window...at 5 in the morning.

"I couldn't sleep," he said. "I figured I'd hang out here."

"You couldn't have let me sleep?" I complained. He smiled sheepishly and shook his head.

"Sorry. But are you hungry?" He looked excited.

I was a little confused, until I remembered the grape bag challenge thing he told me a few days ago.

"Oh yeah!" He grinned at my expression.

"Well? Go get me the grape bags."

Two hours later I successfully ate 3 bags of grapes.

"Dang," Pippin muttered. "You're impressive."

I flipped my hair over my shoulder. "I know I am." He laughed.

"Whatever. Come on, let's go back to camp." I took his hand and we went out the apartment.

(A/N I could've done that way better but I have writer's block so POOP

Also the idea for this part (and H...and Q...and R...and X) was from @Nicole__DiAngelo so I hope she's happy now.)
