Percy's POV

"Okay, truth or dare?" I asked Annabeth. We hadn't played this game in a long time, so we invited our friends –Grover, Travis, Conner, Katie, Malcolm, Nico, and Rachel to play with us.

"Dare," she answered, and I stifled a laugh. "I dare you to cut down a tree while Grover is watching," I said, smiling. I was feeling evil today. Grover yelped and I couldn't help but feel sorry for my old buddy. It might be too much to watch a tree die.

"Well?" I asked her. "Are you going to do it?"

Annabeth shook her head. "For Grover's sake, I won't."

Conner looked disappointed. "I was going to get it on YouTube!" He moaned.

Grover let out a sigh of relief.

"Then you'll have to take something off," I pointed out. And Annabeth was only wearing a Camp Half-Blood t-shirt, shorts, and some sandals. She took off one of her sandals.

"Truth or dare, Rachel?" Annabeth asked.

"Dare," Rachel replied. "Ooh, I can't wait to get this on tape!" Conner said, rummaging his pockets for a camera.

"I dare you to run around and say, 'It's those voices again! Save me!' when it's time for the campfire." Conner took out his camera. "Ha! Ready for action!"

Rachel smiled. "I'll do it, but its 5 more minutes until campfire. So I'll go." She turned to Nico. "Truth or dare, Nico?"

"Truth," he said immediately.

"Truths are no fun," Conner complained. "We can't put it on tape."

"How about we make it dare or dare then?" Travis suggested. "Then you can only choose dares." It was a unanimous vote, although I'm not sure why.

"So I guess Nico has to do a dare," Rachel said, grinning. "Nico, I dare you to summon Hades and say he stinks."

Nico looked pale, but did it. "You stink," he whimpered at Hades when he was there. The group laughed as Hades scowled. "Who told him to do this?" he snarled, obviously ticked that he stunk, which was actually true.

"Uh, we're playing truth or dare," Rachel said, "Do you want to join us?"

Hades sighed. "Fine, fine. I guess gods need to cut some slack too." He turned into human form, where he was just about the size of a man.

"My turn," Nico said. "Percy, I dare you to tell Clarisse that she's beautiful." I shrugged. At least I wasn't doing anything too embarrassing.

I walked up to the Clarisse, who was busy cleaning her spear. "Uh…I think you're beautiful," I said, waiting for something to happen. Clarisse blinked. She dropped her spear that I thought she was going to skewer me with and slapped me.

I grumpily trudged back to Cabin 3. I smiled when I thought of a good dare. "Travis, I dare you to lick the floor." Travis groaned as he looked at my carpet. It was stained with ketchup, lint, littered with garbage, and a bunch of other things you don't want to know.

Travis closed his eyes and licked it. He coughed twice, and walked out of my cabin to throw up. At this, we all cracked up. Even Hades, which was very unusual.

When Travis recovered, he looked at Katie. "I dare you to ride Chiron and pat his butt whenever he's going too slow." He said, grinning.

Katie looked like she was going to die. "Fine," she said.

Conner grabbed his camera as she walked towards Chiron.
