It was a small group around the campfire by ten o'clock at night. It was mainly counselors talking and laughing, sharing tales of great myth. Everyone that was there was munching on stolen Doritos and marshmallows. Annabeth and Percy were next to each other, Grover bleating his goatly laugh. Silena and Beckendorf were glued together, his arms around her waist as she sat in his lap. The Stolls were launching marshmallows into their mouths, Travis' bopping him in the nose. Clarisse snorted at Travis' fail and pelted him with a few Goldfish she happened to have with her. Katie Gardner rolled her eyes, turning to Willow, whispering something in her ear. Willow giggled, looking over at the Stolls.

"Did we ever tell you the tale of King Francis of Wiggleton? The-"

"King who was eaten by demonic breakfast pastries," they all finished for him. Connor looked sheepish.

"Sheesh, If you didn't like the story, all you had to do was say so!"

"Even if we had, you'd still tell it again," Annabeth shot at him. Connor's face suddenly looked very pale in the glow of the golden-orange fire.

"Connor, you okay?" Travis asked, looking concerned.

"Annabeth...?"

"What?"

"Look behind you! HUGE SPIDER!" Annabeth's scream could be heard all the way to the Big House and the cabins. She was on her feet so fast you would have thought Zeus had tried to smite her with a lightning bolt.

"PERSEUS JACKSON KILL THE SPIDER!"

Connor's face broke into an evil grin as the stuffed spider swooped down closer to Annabeth. Travis, catching on, only added to the prank.

"It's a Japanese Flying Spider! They can FLY THROUGH THE AIR!" Annabeth's dagger was in her hand. She pushed Grover out of her way and began to hack viciously at the giant, stuffed spider. Fluff oozed from its wounds, littering the ground with black yarn and white poof. She turned to face the Stolls, her grey eyes so stormy it was hard to imagine anything less than pure hatred for the two brothers was raging within her at that very moment.

"Annabeth, it was just a joke. Don't kill us!" they whimpered together. She growled, but sat back down, sheathing her knife, muttering murderously. They grinned sheepishly at her.

"Remind me to never scream 'spider' around her," Katie muttered to Willow. She grinned and nodded.

"Will do."

"Now that the excitement's over, now what?" Silena asked, nuzzling Beckendorf's cheek as she went.

"I dunno...how about we play twenty questions?" Connor suggested.

"That's lame," Clarisse announced, picking dried marshmallow out from under fingernails.

"Then why don't you come up with something?" Percy retorted, throwing a paper cup into the fire. Grover glared at him. Percy threw his arms up into the air. "There's only so much I can do for the environment, Grover!" Everyone snorted and laughed. Grover's face turned red.

"We could play spin the bottle," Silena voiced, running fingers through her smooth brown hair. Everyone looked at everyone else, blinked twice, then burst out laughing.

"Yeah right, like any of us will really kiss half the people here!" Katie exclaimed. Connor whispered just loud enough for the group to hear,

"But I know who would kiss Katie." Travis punched him hard in the arm.

"Anyone got any more ideas? Anything thoughts?!" Travis said a little too quickly.

"Ya know, if you modernized the gods, I think Hermes would be the god of drug dealers," Willow said without thinking as she stared into the fire. Everyone was silent. "What?" Willow asked, looking up at them. Katie looked thoughtful.

"I agree with that."

"Hey!" cried Connor and Travis. "Don't you go dissing our dad!" Annabeth had cracked a smile.

"He is a thief...I actually can see him dealing cocaine to high schoolers."

"Well-well if Athena was 'modernized' she'd be the Goddess of Nerds!" Annabeth rolled her eyes.

"That's hardly an insult."

"Guys..." Silena said, looking over towards where the beach would be if other things weren't in the way. "Poseidon would be the god of really, really hot lifeguards." Percy cracked up. They all did. It wasn't until Connor started choking on a Dorito that they all started gasping for their breath. Travis slapped his hand on Connor's back, attempting to help him. Connor's eyes watered.

"I hope you know that doesn't help," he wheezed. Travis shrugged, grinning cheekily.

"If Poseidon's the God of Mega-Hot Lifeguards, then Hades is so the God of Goths," Percy chimed in. Beckendorf laughed again.

"Totally!"

"Oh my gods!" Annabeth cried out in realization.

"What?" asked several people.

"Hera would be the Goddess of Divorce!" Percy laughed so hard he nearly fell into the fire.

"Yes! That's SO true! And Demeter would be the Goddess of Pesticides!" Katie glowered at him, arms crossing over her chest.
"No way! She is not the Goddess of Chemicals that murder bugs!"

"But that's why it's funny, Gardner," Travis retorted, spearing a marshmallow on a stick and thrusting it into the fire. The group of demigods got their own sticks and started toasting their marshmallows.

"Since Apollo had that thing for Hyacinthus, wouldn't that make him the god of homosexuals?" Willow choked, looking over at Connor with wide eyes. The others looking over at him too.

"I'd say so," Clarisse said, stealing the chip bag from Percy. Another round of silence was met. Willow pulled her golden brown marshmallow from the fire, removing it from the stick.

"That would make Aphrodite the Goddess of S.T.I.s!" Silena's face looked horrified. Beckendorf started laughing so much that Silena was pushed off his lap. Percy and Grover joined in. Annabeth looked like she was trying not smile. Clarisse was roaring, chips falling all over the ground.

"That one is my favorite!' Clarisse announced, grabbing a graham cracker for her marshmallow. She threw some chocolate on the cracker and smashed her marshmallow between them.

"My mother is not the goddess of sexually transmitted diseases!" Silena shrieked from the ground.

"Infections," Connor corrected her. "They officially changed it a couple years ago." Silena glowered at him, got up, and stormed off. Her long dark hair trailing behind her much like a Grim Reaper's cloak.

"She's pissed," Clarisse clarified for all those who missed the exchange. Travis helped himself to some of Clarisse's Goldfish.

"Dudes, what would Dionysus be?" Travis asked through munches of Goldfish. Everyone went quiet, deep in thought.

"Diet Coke's too obvious," Percy muttered under this breath.

"Of course it is, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth retorted, rolling her eyes.

"I got it," Beckendorf said loudly, grinning.

"Whatcha thinkin'?" Willow asked as she toasted another marshmallow since someone stole her first one.

"Grape juice. He's the God of Grape Juice." Everyone cracked up again. Grover looked mortified, looking around, obviously praying Mr. D wasn't around.

"He is the God of Wine," Grover bleated.

"Wine is just glorified grape juice!" Connor said as he howled with laughter. Grover's face went red.

"Who's left?" Clarisse asked. Everyone shifted their gaze to Annabeth. She didn't disappoint.

"Zeus, Ares, Artemis, Hephaestus, and Hestia, if you're only doing the Olympians."

"Zeus! I can't believe we missed Zeus!" Travis shouted, facepalming. Percy grinned.

"Do any of you remember Pooh Bear?"

"What does he have to do with any of this?" Willow questioned, looking over at her half-brother.

"Remember the little black rain cloud?" he asked. Katie Gardner actually snorted with laughter.

"Zeus can be the god of little black rain clouds!" Everyone was laughing and giggling. Chips and marshmallows hit the ground as Travis rolled off his seat because he was laughing so hard. Grover cracked a smile, still looking too nervous to add anything to the conversation.

"Wait, hold everything just a second," Connor said, a look of realization on his face.

"What is it, Stoll?" Annabeth demanded.

"Iris is the Goddess of the Rainbow, right?"

"Yes."

"That makes her the Goddess of Skittles!"

The group of demigods laughed for so long that it took a long time for them to recover. Some were choking and wheezing, practically gasping for breath. Katie and Willow had tears in their eyes. Beckendorf was bent double, his whole body shaking with mirth.

"And since Nemesis is the goddess of balance or something, wouldn't that make her the Goddess of Scales?" Percy coughed out, clutching his sides. People nodded, unable to speak because they were still laughing. Travis laughed even harder. Willow managed to rasp,

"We are all so going to the Fields of Punishment!"

It took ten minutes for everyone to calm down and catch their breath. Everyone was grinning wildly.

"Ya know, Artemis would so be the Goddess of Lesbianism," Beckendorf said suddenly. Grover fainted at his words. Connor and Travis chuckled, pulling out Sharpies.

"And Hephaestus would be the God of High School Workshop," Katie countered. Beckendorf looked surprised she had retorted so fast. Clarisse nodded in approval.

"Out of the Olympians, all that's left is Hestia and Ares," Annabeth informed them, finishing off the Doritos as she did so.

"Ares, God of Civil Disobedience," Percy supplied. Clarisse glowered at him.

"I'm gonna squash you like a bug."

"Hestia...Hestia..." Willow mumbled. Then her eyes lit up. "Hestia, the Goddess of Home Invasion!"

The laughter was sparked again. Annabeth was slumped against Percy's shoulder because she was laughing so hard. Katie became off balanced and fell right off her seat. She kept right on laughing as Willow yanked her back up, grinning all the while. When Annabeth managed to pull herself together, she had an idea of her own.

"Hecate, the Goddess of 4-Way Intersections!" Most of the guys looked confused. Willow laughed harder, tears streaming down her cheeks. Katie beamed widely.

"Why is that funny?" Connor asked, looking at her confusedly.

"Hecate is the Goddess of Crossroads, choices," Annabeth informed them, grinning. The laughter flared up again, the fire burning an even brighter gold. Several Goldfish fell into the fire for Connor shook the bag a little too hard as he snorted at the levity of the situation.

"Guys, I got it," Beckendorf interjected. The group turned to look at him. "Persephone, the Goddess of Child Abuse."

The campers surrounding the campfire couldn't handle anymore. They were enjoying themselves too much to care about anything else. The laughter and happiness encircled the group, bringing them higher. It had been too long since they'd been so relaxed and carefree. It was a gift, a blessing in disguise; all of them cherished it without thinking.

"Guys, guys, we have to get to bed before the Harpies come after us. It's nearly midnight," Annabeth informed everyone. Everyone groaned at the news. None of them wanted to leave. With several sighs, they started clearing up. Connor and Travis stowed the food away in their sweatshirts, Percy put out the fire, and Katie made the grass grow a little thicker to high their footprints. The ghosts of laughter was still on everyone's faces as they ran for cover. It had been the perfect end to a perfect day and that's all anyone could ever ask for.
