Hi everyone! It's nice to talk to you again. This is the first chapter of This Is Our Story. It could be better, I just DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OCs! People, I need more! I need:
13 - 14 Aphrodite characters: some shallow and conceited, some nice and some very sheep-like. Baabaas!
2 Hades characters: don't just make them gothic, although I really do appreciate that!
8 Hephaestus characters: peeps, girls too, please!
Unlimited Hermes characters: please make some girls, too!
1 Poseidon character: guy, has to be around 9-13.
5 Athena characters: Keep on with the Athena kids.
8 Apollo characters: I know I said don't put too many, but I reread the series recently, and I upped the numbers.
6 Ares characters: More girls and guys, peeps!
4 Dionysus characters.
11 Demeter characters: I don't think I have any Demeter children. At all. I possibly could have, but I lost my list. I'm remaking it.
Minor gods are unlimited and loved.
People, remember that you can submit as many as you want. So, double up on your forms. Better yet, triple up on 'em, or quadrople up! Make some not-so-nice characters and some fantastic hero-heroes.

Disclaimer: Not mine, not even the OCs are mine. Well, cept for Jenna. Say hi Jenna!
Jenna: Hi mini peoples!
Me: Mini peoples? Wha- You know what, don't worry.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a hero? One of those Greek heroes from the stories? The ones who went into the Underworld, and slayed monsters and made deals with the gods and other stuff?
Quite unfortunately, neither me nor my fellow campers ever have to wonder; we know what it's like, and let me tell you, it's not pleasant.
You see, I go to a camp where all of the campers are … different. We're unique, I suppose. Oh yes, I know everyone's different, but I mean really different. As in, different kind of people.
So, yeah, we're kinda demigods.
These days, our adventures aren't really told. It's a little unfair, in my opinion. I mean, the bloody monsters are better at tracking us these days, what with technology and shit. But no, the ones who are remembered are the bastards who fought the old-fashioned way (which is, personally, a damn sight easier than today, what with the monsters using nuclear weapons and all).
The camp is called Camp Half-Blood, which makes sense, since we're all half-bloods – half mortal, half god. It has a campfire, cabins, a forest and an arena for fighting contests. The Hephaestus kids have this awesome forge and the Athena kids' cabin has more computer software and data than a freaking space shuttle.
To recap: we're demigods, go to a demigod training camp and kick butt.
This is our story.
Jenna Morgan was so bored.
She had, literally, nothing to do. Her music was up full blast; her cabin was tidier than the Aphrodite's; she'd eaten all her sweets from her stash; she'd reread all her books; and she'd run out of doodling paper. All the activities at camp she'd already done a thousand times and Chiron had said no (with difficulty) to the massive party she'd proposed.
Following Drew from Aphrodite around and blowing raspberries in her ear got very dangerous (although not so boring) when Drew got out her makeup kit and declared that she was going to make Jenna over. Taking Nick's root beer got boring-er and boring-er. Stealing Connor Stoll's video camera was got boring, as was thieving Trent Black's skull ring and stalking Kieran Stone.
Anya, Diana, Lain, and Vi were being boring, which was quite unusual for them (although, Vi was a little too busy with her flower arrangement, which Jenna totally understood). She had tried hanging around Susanna Hansel, Alyssa Dimabasa, Samantha Anderson and Logan Goode, four of the fourteen year old demigods, but it was even more boring than usual (mostly because Jenna was of the mind-frame to tell Sam and Logan to start making out already, but Susie had given her the evil eye when she'd told her the plan).
Even the one person she could usually count on to not be boring was being boring! Matt had refused to help her in her evil plans to talk Percy Jackson into running around the camp screaming, 'I'm really a monkey with wings!' Jenna had really pouted when he said no to that – usually, he was into that kind of stuff.
I suppose I'll have to go hang with the little kids, thought Jenna solemnly (which was a sign of her boredom). I don't mind Alaqua, she's hyper.
And with that, she got up off her bed and headed for the Hades cabin.
Unfortunately, by the time she remembered Trent was pissed at her, it was too late. She was shooed from the cabin with swears and a small army of skeleton men clamouring for her blood. Even worse: Alaqua had just giggled insanely.
'Um…' she said aloud. '… Athena cabin, then.'
She was lucky with that, because none of the Athena kids were out for her blood … yet. Well, there was the off chance that Malcolm might turn up, but ever since he got that job in Washington D.C. he hadn't been seen around much – which was good for Jenna (he was still a little bit murderous and somewhat heartbroken from their breakup, but honestly, in Jenna's very opinionated opinion, she was well rid of the boring git).
'Knock, knock,' she called, grinning.
The first Athena kid to answer was Annabeth, a tall, somewhat intimidating blonde girl in her early twenties. She raised her eyebrow at the minor demigod, but moved aside to let her pass.
'What are you doing here?' she asked.
Jenna shrugged. 'Boredom isn't my thing,' she replied.
'Is dying your thing?' queried Annabeth. When Jenna frowned in confusion, she added humorously, 'Malcolm's back for a we–'
'And I'm bored!' announced Jenna, waving a hand behind her as she darted from Cabin 6. No matter how dire the situation was for her insanity, Jenna would always prefer being bored to seeing Malcolm again. He still had a bit of a thing for her, though he still tried to annoy the living daylights out of her.
What to do, what to do… thought Jenna, stroking her upper lip where she was pretending to have a moustache. Man, I wouldn't be in this horrifying predicament if it weren't for bloody Matt. He's supposed to agree to my genius plans. Bastard.
The daughter of Peitho was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she didn't register the appearance of a tall, blond boy until she smashed into him and was sent flying.
'Crap!' she exclaimed, picking herself up off the ground. 'Sorry, mate, I didn't …' But her words got lost as she stared at the boy in front of her. He glared, and she gave him a nervous smile. 'Hiya, Malcolm.'
'Susie!'
Susanna turned. It was Jake Mason, from Hephaestus, and he was calling her over. Her! Susie jogged over to Jake and gave him a smile, hoping her cheeks weren't blushing as much as she thought they were.
'Hey, I need someone's opinion on this new thing I made and I thought–'
'HEEEEEEEEELP ME!' came a female scream, and suddenly Jenna Morgan, the insane senior counselor of Peitho cabin (she was sort of the only kid in there), ran into their view, arms flailing oddly as she passed.
Jake frowned. 'Wonder what's got her in such a mood,' he commented. Susie shrugged.
The answer strolled past, following the older camper.
'Oh, right,' Jake and Susie said in unison. 'Malcolm.'
Susie rolled her eyes. Typical Jenna, she thought before gesturing for Jake to lead the way.
Violette was rearranging her flower arrangements for the eighth time that day. No matter how she arranged them, they always seemed to be in the wrong place or just not look right. It was rather frustrating.
But besides her frustration at her flowers, Vi was totally content. The cabin was neat, just how she liked it, the beds were made and smoothed out, and Adele sang Someone Like You from the iPod docking station near the door. Peace, calm, qui–
Then the screams started up, and Vi sighed, poking her head out the door of cabin 14.
As usual, Vi's mental friend was waving her arms around like a drunken idiot, screaming as she made her way through the camp. For a few seconds, Vi watched her, an eyebrow raised. Then she retreated back into her cabin to restore the broken peace and tranquillity.
Matt didn't have a clue what was going on with his best friend, but that didn't exactly bother him. He was too used to Jenna's odd ways to be perturbed by it.
'Excellent,' whispered Connor. He gave Matt a grin, which the younger boy returned heartily. 'She's a fabulous distraction.'
Matt shrugged.
'It's Jenna,' he pointed out. 'She's always a distraction.'
'Yeah, well, as long as she's got the other campers distracted, we'll get away with the clothes rigging,' said Travis. The three giggled in a very unmanly way, but they didn't seem to care.
'Oh, I can't wait to see their faces,' gasped Matt. 'It'll be priceless. Remember the golden mango? It should be better than that.'
His brothers glared at him.
'What?'
'You didn't end up getting blamed for that,' answered Travis bitterly. 'Permanent makeup, dude, permanent makeup.'
'Sorry,' winced Matt. 'Forgot. Wait! What do you think they'll do to us when they find out we painted their cabin baby puke yellow and hid all their clothes?'
'I dunno,' shrugged Connor. 'All I know is that if we're caught, we're so dead.'
'Point taken.'
'Can anyone tell me why Jennifer Morgan's running around like a crazy person?' demanded Kieran St Clair.
His all siblings shrugged and went back to their various activities: gossiping, flipping through magazines, doing their nails, squealing over clothes. And the sad thing was, it wasn't just the girls participating in this activity.
Drew Li, his half-sister and cabin leader (due to her abhorred Charmspeak abilities), looked up from her magazine and gave him a snotty look which was obviously meant to be a smile.
'Maybe we should get her a boyfriend,' she suggested. 'One that's not-so-annoying as her. How about … I know, Clovis!'
The other Aphrodite kids laughed, and Kieran gritted his teeth.
This was the butterfly chapter (the chapter where all the sides of the story are told. The next will be more focussed, and will include Keenan Hall and and Lief No-Last-Name.
