I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue... so it's kind of short. Don't worry kiddies, the first real chapter will be up either tomorrow or on Monday, so the wait won't be too long.
Story Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson or anything affiliated with it. I do, however, own the title of the Demigod Diaries because the book isn't published yet and I thought of the title before I realized that he had a book coming out called the same thing. Talk about awkward...
BTW, the whole thing will be in Travis' Point of View... unless people ask to hear from someone else ;)
It was your typical day at Camp Half Blood. Kids were running around with swords and other dangerous weapons, Clarisse was pounding on everyone, and every cabin was doing their own thing. The only thing different about today was that it was the day before the summer season began, and campers were flooding in. I saw Argus struggling to carry a daughter of Aphrodite's designer luggage and the harpies were trying to control the traffic. Mr. D wasn't awake, he considered anything between the time periods of after the break of dawn and before noon an ungodly time to be awake and was rarely seen before one. Chiron was galloping around, trying to help kids get settled and it was more chaotic than usual, And I loved it. There was something about everyone coming back together that made me really happy. It was almost better than the feeling you get when you win capture the flag, or when you make a particularly good steal. The best part about all the campers coming back though, was being reunited with everyone. Only some of the campers stayed full time, and it was usually little kids who couldn't really defend themselves yet or kids who did have families to go back to or didn't want to. So basically, it was just me and Travis unless it was summer or school was on a break. Then, the camp was party central. And I had a feeling that this summer was going to be epic. The Titan War was finally over and everyone was in high spirits, meaning that we could act like normal teenagers and relax a little. I had big plans for this summer, and I'm sure my partners in crime did too.

I was at Thalia's pine with Connor, waiting for Percy to arrive. We had been waiting all year for this summer, and we couldn't start without him. It goes against the bro code. Finally, after waiting for hours, or a few minutes, I saw a blue Prius racing towards the camp. I was pretty sure it was Percy, the driving gave him away. He almost crashed into a fence, but luckily stopped at last minute. Totally ignoring camp rules, Connor and I raced down the hill to meet him. The first Percy to get out was Annabeth and boy, she did not look happy. She looked a little green, to be honest. She staggered towards the trunk and started to unload bags. Percy ran out of the car and towards me and Connor. The three of us ran slow motion into each other and had an epic man hug. I saw Connor reach for Percy's wallet, but the young padawan had learned and his wallet was duck taped to his pocket. When we finally let go of each other after a lot of obnoxious shouting and laughter, a woman came out of the car and man, she was smoking.
"Are you all set, sweetie?" She asked, and brushed some hair out of Percy's eyes.
"I'm fine, Mom," he grumbled, and shoved her hand away. My eyes bugged out of my head. There was no way that this fine MILF was Percy's mom, they looked nothing alike. The MILF took notice of us and smiled.
"Oh, you must be Percy's friends Travis and Connor! It's so nice to meet you!" She pulled us both in for hugs and Percy gave me a look that very clearly said, "that's my Mom, dude. Gross, stop thinking those thoughts." I ignored him. Poseidon had some great taste. Percy mom released us and gave us a once over. Nice.
"Well, I'm glad my son as two more people to take care of him! Annabeth can't do it all alone!" Annabeth snorted.
"Trust me Sally, these two will get Percy into trouble, not Protect him from it," she said, walking past us with a few bags.
"Why ever would you say that, Annabeth? Here, let me help you with your bags to prove what a gentleman I am," Connor said, reaching for her bags. She kicked him in the shins.
"Yeah right. You can't fool me, Travis, I'm a daughter of Athena."
"I'm Connor!" She just rolled her eyes.
"I don't care which one you are." Then she sauntered up the hill and into camp. Percy stared after her with a dreamy expression on his face.
"That's my girlfriend."
"Thanks, genius, we had no clue," I retorted. He just rolled his eyes and shoved me. So I shoved him back. Before we could break out into a shoving war, his mom broke us up.
"Save it for the area, boys. Now, kiss Mommy good-bye," she said, drawing Percy down so that he could kiss her cheek. After she doted on him for a few minutes, she left with a tearful good-bye. The second the car was out of sight, I turned and faced Percy.
"So, did you bring the snacks from the outside world?"
"Of course I did, why do you think I have so many bags?" He said, gesturing to the gigantic assortment of bags on the ground. "Now, everyone grab a bag and haul this stuff up to my cabin. I have to get settled in and fast. This summer won't last forever and we have a ton of stuff to do."
