Last time I checked I was not an adult, male evil genius... So I'm almost definitely not Rick Riordan whom all of the characters and locations and stuff belong to... Except the Disney characters... I'm pretty sure those belong to Disney... which I have nothing to do with! (Thank the gods). That said, enjoy!

"This is a bad idea." Percy mumbled as he sat down in the not-really-a-circle-but-whatever.

"Come on, seaweed brain, it's the Romans' and our last night at camp! We need to make the most of it!" Thalia pleaded, her bright blue eyes twinkling with mischief. "I'll go first! Um, Piper, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

Thalia reached into the red box with skull-and-crossbones. They had had to buy a truth or dare game after a few rounds had made it obvious that no one could think of any questions or dares except the Stolls. Thalia read the newly-retrieved slip of paper and smirked.

"What is it?" Piper asked, anticipation and fear fighting for dominance in her expression.

"I dare you to do a lap around camp yelling 'help! I've lost my voice! You have to help me find it!' with charm-speak!"

The room erupted with laughter, some nervous, some genuine amusement. Piper stood, determination written across her face.

"I've lost my voice and you have to help me find it!" She shouted before running out.

Several demigods, including Percy, jumped up and followed Piper. Thalia could see them searching the cabins through the window. A throng of demigods was already following Piper as she ran around the camp, stopping at each cabin to shout for them to help her.

A few minutes later, a slightly sweaty Piper jogged in, followed by at least half of the camp and a cohort of Romans and a few hunters.

"Thank you! I've found it! You can go back to what you were doing!" She shouted and sat down, looking very pleased with herself. "I think I finished that dare quite well." They nodded in agreement. "Nico, truth or dare?"

Nico shifted uncomfortably, "dare, I guess."

Piper grinned and fished out a new dare, "put on a blindfold and slow dance with another player, try to guess who they are based solely on touch."

Nico looked like he wanted to melt into the shadows and never come out. "What about truth?"

Piper pulled out a truth, "when was the last time someone saw you naked?"

Nico paled even more. "I'll do the dare."

"But now I really want to know the truth!"

Jason grimaced. "I'll get you a blindfold." He muttered as he rose.

"But—" a death glare from Nico silenced her.

"Who am I dancing with?"

"That's the fun of it! You won't know!" Piper said, brightening again. "But don't worry too much, we have a spinner! So your dancing partner will be randomly chosen instead of chosen to torment you."

"Unless the gods are feeling particularly spiteful tonight."

Thunder rumbled in response.

"I knew we shouldn't have chosen to play party games at dad's ever-disapproving feet." Thalia grumbled, glaring up at the statue of Zeus.

They waited for a while. It was probably only five minutes, but it felt like an eternity to the ADD demigods.

"Found one!" Jason shouted as he ran back in.

"What took you so long?" Thalia shouted back.

"I had to go all the way to the Hypnos cabin! Apparently, Chiron banned these a few years ago because of 'an unfortunate incident involving an explosive piñata and a mustache curse. I'd rather not talk about it, Mr Green'."

Percy whistled, "that was a terrible impression of Mr D, Grace, you should be ashamed."

"So long as I'm not an ashamed dolphin."

Piper sighed and took the blindfold from her boyfriend, "you know you could've gotten anything remotely blindfold-like, right?"

"Oh." His face fell.

"You're cute, now sit down." He obeyed. She pecked him on the cheek before giving the blindfold to Nico. "Put it on and wait in the center." He too obeyed.

She put her finger on her lips and motioned for Thalia to spin the spinner. It landed on Ariel. The spinner had Disney characters on it for some odd reason, which was especially strange considering that nothing else in the game had anything to do with Disney whatsoever. Thalia pointed at Ariel and raised an eyebrow inquisitively. After five seconds of eyes darting around the room, Percy raised his hand sheepishly. Thalia had to clamp her hand over mouth to keep from laughing, several others seemed to be having the same problem, especially Frank Zhang. Thalia made a mental note to ask him about it later. She motioned for the already blushing Percy to stand.

As soon as Percy took Nico's hand, Nico stiffened. "I guess the gods really are feeling vindictive. Percy, you can sit down now." Nico ripped the blindfold off as a confused Percy sat back down. "Jason, truth or dare?"

"Dare." Jason replied without a moment's thought. Thalia wondered if they should just call this game 'dare' seeing as a room full of secretive heroes was unlikely to choose anything else.

Nico got a new dare and started grinning, "I dare you to make-out with the first inanimate object you find for the next minute." As soon as the son of Hades finished reading the dare, a brick fell from Zeus's statue and hit Jason squarely on the head.

"Every. Single. Time." Jason cursed before passing out. Piper rolled her eyes and pulled a zippy-bag of ambrosia from her back pocket. She pushed a small piece in his mouth and turned to the assembled demigods. "He's gonna be out cold for a while, so let's continue the game. Thalia, truth of dare?"

Thalia glanced at her unconscious brother. "Truth, dares seem a little unsafe right now."

"Hey!" Rachel, their resident oracle, protested, "that's not fair! Some of us are nice, thank you very much."

"I'd still like a truth, no offense." Thalia shouted over the laughter.

"Some taken." Rachel sniffed haughtily, but she reached into the truth box. "What is your greatest fear?"

Thalia blanched. "I'll only tell you, okay?"

Rachel nodded and leaned forward. Thalia whispered her answer in Rachel's ear; Rachel eyes grew wide, "you're kidding."

Thalia shook her head solemnly, "I swear on the river Styx, it's the truth."

'Wow' Rachel mouthed, but she regained her composure before the other demigods in the room died of curiosity. "Thalia, it's your turn to ask."

Thalia nodded thanks. "Percy, truth or dare?"

"Truth, a dare is a dangerous thing."

"You too, Percy?" Rachel asked, face-palming.

He shrugged. "Couldn't resist."

"Okay," Thalia said, holding a slip of paper, "who here would you never go on a date with?"

"You." He answered immediately.

"What!" Thalia shouted, a murderous glint in her eyes, "say that again, seaweed brain!"

"I would never go on a date with you, pinecone face, because–" his explanation was interrupted by a blast of lightning to the chest. He was blown back with enough force to crash through Cabin One's marble wall.

"Oh gods, Percy, I didn't–" her apology was interrupted by a jet of water that flooded the cabin and washed out all the demigods that were in it.

"That escalated quickly," Hazel said calmly, wringing the water out of her hair. "Where's Frank?"

After an hour, a lot of charm-speak, and a long search for goldfish-Frank, they were once again sitting in as close as a bunch of hyperactive demigods could get to a circle. It looked a lot more like a dying amoeba. This time they were in Cabin Three because Cabin One had been almost completely obliterated during the 'skirmish'.

"Percy, it's your turn." Thalia said as menacingly as possible.

"I only said you 'cause I don't want to live the rest of my natural life as a jack-a-lope!" He explained all in one breath, at the same time ducking in case she didn't take it well.

Realization dawned on her, she nodded and her smile brightened. "Oh, sorry then. And it's still your turn."

He smiled back. "Rachel, truth or dare?"

She scoffed in response. "Do you even have to ask?"

"Dare?"

"Yes?"

"Okay..." He pulled one out and started laughing. "Lick your— nose,— if you ca— can't,— lick some— someone else's—" he said while laughing and gasping for air.

Rachel immediately leaned forward and licked his nose, effectively shutting him up. Everyone howled with laughter when they saw Percy's utter bewilderment and Rachel's smug grin.

"Will, truth or dare?" She shouted over the din.

"Dare, I guess." He shouted back

She nodded sagely, "a wise choice. Do an impersonation of another player until someone guesses who it is."

Will took on an expression that was a mix of grief and annoyance. He slumped his shoulders and, sighing heavily, leaned back into a shadowy corner.

"I'm all brooding and angsty 'cause fate hates me." Several people were already concealing laughter, Nico groaned.

"I dress like I'm in an emo punk band, and I never brush my hair." More people started laughing. "I hang out with zombies 'cause I lack people skills." Nico started banging his head against the wall.

"Will is absolutely amazing and awesome and wonderful and attractive and sexy but I refuse to listen to his medical opinions."

"I don't think he ever said that." Percy muttered.

Will broke character to say, "hey, a guy can dream. Right?"

"...that's a weird dream..."

Reyna raised her hands. "Okay, okay, we all know it's Nico. Let's stop before he gets permanent brain damage."

"Or breaks my wall." Percy added.

Will gave a rueful grin, and Reyna pulled Nico away from said wall before he could inflict anymore damage, to the wall or his skull.

"Annabeth?"

After due consideration she answered, "dare."

"You're too kind." Rachel said as Will got a dare.

"For the next twenty-four hours, begin everything you say with 'all hail the mighty cricket king!'."

"All hail the mighty cricket king! Sounds good to me. Frank, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"All hail the mighty cricket king! Have another player ride you like a bull."

Conner whispered something about that dare being too perfect for Frank, and Travis nodded in agreement.

The spinner landed on Flounder.

"Uh, spin again 'cause I'm Flounder."

"All hail the mighty cricket king! That's why you made that face at Percy being Ariel earlier!"

"Yup. You still need to spin again."

"All hail the mighty cricket king! I'm Belle, so I'll be riding you."

The Stolls started singing a song about sexual innuendos as Frank turned into an enormous, black bull. Annabeth shot the twins a dirty look and climbed onto bull-Frank's back. He bucked, and she immediately went flying. It didn't look like she'd been hurt. Probably because she landed on Jason, who was jolted awake.

"All hail the mighty cricket king! Sorry, Jason! Are you all right?" Annabeth crawled off him.

"Uh, better. Why does my head hurt so much?"

Annabeth smiled slyly. "All hail the mighty cricket king! You still need to do your dare."

All hail the mighty cricket king! I really hope you enjoyed the story! I don't know if I want this to be a one shot or a series... Review! Tell me what you think! If you do want it to be a series, give me more game for them to play, other than seven minutes in heaven *waggles eyebrows suggestively*!

All hail the mighty cricket king! Jason X brick is my OTP, but Solangelo is a close second!
