Miss Olympus

Summary

Aphrodite convinces Dionysus to keep a pageant at Camp Half Blood and they convince Olympus too. Can Annabeth, Piper, Hazel and Alex survive this insane world of drama, back stabbing, fashion and make up? Or will their friendship die in flames? Or will they come out of the ashes still intact?

Hazel's POV

Frank, the boys, the girls were eating breakfast at the pavilion. Nico came in, knocking on the door. 'Hey, Hazel! There's an assembly at the arena. Where the boys and girls? We've to tell them about this. Or they'll not come and we'll be drowning in questions.' I nodded and got up and we started toward the pavilion.

Everybody were arguing about... Well, something about swords and knives. Piper and Annabeth were on knives. So was Frank and Alex. Actually, Alex was on both sides. ' Guys? GUYS?' I called out to them. Nico banged on the benches with his pommel. BANG BANG BANG! Everybody turned, startled. ' Thank you,' I nodded to Nico. ' Do you know there's is an immediate assembly at the amphitheater?' I asked them. Nico whispered. 'Arena!' I blushed. ' Sorry, the arena... Well, did you?!' I demanded. They shook their heads. ' Well, it's there!' Nico concluded. ' Okay, well finish breakfast and be right there.' Jason said. Leo smirked. ' Yeah, just leave Arion behind.' 'Why?' 'So, we can be right there.' I sighed in frustration.' 'Just come... Nico, stop laughing!' Ugh! Boys! I thought, exasperated. I started towards the plates to get some food.

Leo's POV

I was surprised since Nico's pamphlet, which he hadn't shown to Hazel, said that a god would be present. Some newbies who've not seen their parents for a while, but have spent weeks with them would be happy, I guess. But the senior demigods like us knew that gods, are bad news. Maybe 'cause they left our mothers and they died! OK, that was actually very personal. But, something like that happens. A lot. ' LEO!' Calypso interrupted my thoughts. Actually, Sunshine murdered them and buried them. 'Yes, Sunshine?' I asked calmly. ' Well? Who d'ya think it is, Valdez?' I was completely blank.' Who? For what?' I asked. Calypso glared at me murderously. Alex prompted. 'Oh!' I face - palmed. ' I think it's Beauty Queen's mom. It's usually her.' Alex informed her. ' No offense, Pipes.' She waved at BQ. Hazel absently checked her watch. Her eyes widened. 'It's time! Actually, we're late!' She scrambled up and ran. Everybody, including me, followed. Boy, did I wish I'd never gone.

We filtered into the arena. I took a seat next to Piper and Calypso. We usually don't have anybody nervous when gods come to camp, but I could sense the agitation in the air. Chiron stamped his hooves, snapping my train of thought. I think he looked nervous, too. Whoa, I thought. Whatever scares a three thousand year old centaur dude who trained the best Greek heroes, I don't wanna meet! 'Campers, settle down!' He shouted. Everybody was still and silent. 'Thank You. I welcome the goddess…..' He paused. Phew. Goddess. That's a good sign. All goddesses are smart and patient. Maybe not Hera, but she'll do. Wait. That one won't do. Oh no! Please; please don't say…. 'Aphrodite!' Piper's eyes bulged. The Aphrodite cabin jumped in joy. The other campers were either praying or mumbling 'Let this be a prank.' All my friends, they were doing the same thing. A beautiful woman with a silky voice came onstage. She looked a lot like Calypso. 'Sunshine, why does she look like you?' I asked her dumbstruck. I realized all the others were asking their girlfriends the same thing. Nico was murmuring 'Bianca?' Piper looked like she was just slapped. 'Mom?!' She asked with a strangled voice. Alex sighed in surprise 'You're kidding me, right?!'
