Chapter 1: Let's get the gang back together

In a large room, three people sat in chairs. Well, it was more like two people and a ghost. More chairs were circled around the room in a big circle. One person was a young boy who looked pretty relaxed. He had his legs cross and one arm over the back of the chair. He had black hair and a black sword slung over his shoulder. Every once in a while he would check his watch. This was Nico, son of Hades. Next to him was the ghost. You could vaguely make out sandy hair and a scar over his eye. This was Luke, son of Hermes. The second person was Annabeth, daughter of Athena. She had blond hair and stormy gray eyes. At the moment, she was as red as a tomato and found her shoes more interesting than the people sitting across form her. All three of them were wearing their Camp Half-Blood t-shirts.

Nico checked his watch," They're late."

"They were 'late' fifteen minutes ago." grumbled Luke.

Annabeth remained silent. It was a long time since she saw Luke and, even though she didn't love him, she was a little uncomfortable around him, little being an understatement, even if he was a ghost. Then the thought of Percy crawled into her head. She turned a deadly shade of white, almost as white as Luke. She looked like she was about to faint.

Nico looked at her," Annabeth, are you okay?"

There was a knock at the door, "Hello?" It sounded like Percy. In fact it was Percy, the son of Poseidon.

Annabeth said in a little, high-pitched squeaky voice, "meep."

Percy let himself in. Once seeing Percy, Annabeth looked a little better. She still had a strange habit of quickly looking away and at her feet.

After Percy came in Tyson, a Cyclops, followed. After him as a few other Campers followed him, Clarisse, daughter of Ares, Grover, a styre, the Stoll brothers, Conner and Travis, sons of Hermes, and Thalia, daughter of Zeus.

Percy took a seat next to Annabeth. He smiled sweetly at her, and she did her best to smile back, but she ended getting just as red as before, and stared at her shoes again. Percy engaged in conversation with Nico.

"Hey, Nico. Could you bring up the last three members for the meeting?" asked Percy.

"What!? No, 'Hello Nico' or 'How are you doing?' or 'Do still think your father is a jerk?'"

Percy sighed," How are you doing?"

"Very good, thank you."

"..."

"Well, can you bring up the last three member or not?"

"Can I?"

"Well, can you?"

"Yes, I can. I just hate people assuming I can."

Percy did a facepalm. " Just do it."

Nico waved his hand dramatically. Three more ghosts appeared in the center of the room. One floated over to the chair next to Nico and the other two sat next to each other in the two seats left. Those two were Silena and Benkendorf. His actual name was Charlie, but no one called him that besides Silena. The ghost that sat next to Nico was his sister Bianca, so she was a daughter of Hades.

After everyone took their seats, Nico asked. "What took you so long to get here Percy?"

"Sorry, carpool. Thalia took FOREVER!"

"I was doing my hair!"

"And apparently Paul's new Prius doesn't like to underwater. We had to pick up Tyson."

"Anyway, better get on with this 'family' reunion." said Nico.

"What do you do at family reunions?" asked Grover.

Percy did a facepalm. "What was Chiron thinking! Some of us can't even visit one half of our families. Hmm, maybe he wants us to talk about all of our adventures."

"Okay, That works. What should we start with?"

"How about how this whole hellapalooza started." suggested Luke.

"I think that starts with me and Percy." said Grover.

"Yeah, when Mrs. Dodds attacked me in the history museum."

"Wait, I think it's when Percy mom was stupid enough to take him o the beach." Annabeth said in a low voice. "Grover came and took them to Camp Half-Blood."

"And failed miserably."

"Yeah, pretty much."

"When I first came into camp everyone was staring at me. I was like, 'WTF are they staring at!?!'"

"And when I first met Luke, it was with Annabeth, and she was soooo, red..." Percy drowned on.

"Shut up Percy" mumbled Annabeth.

"But it's true! You were blushing around him."

"Shut UP Percy." said Annabeth louder through clenched teeth.

"Someone might have been under the impression that you liked-"

"PERCY! SHUT! UP!" Yelled Annabeth.

The room was in silence for a moment. Then Clarisse spoke.

"I think you're all wrong," stated Clarisse,"I think, that the real adventure started when Percy went to go see the Oracle."

"Yeah, how did you feel?" asked Grover

"Well, I was looking around the room and looking at all the really neat stuff there is up there! I mean-"

"I mean about the Oracle."

"Oh. My first thoughts were 'Ew, that isn't an Oracle, that's a yucky piece of crap!"

"Percy! Be polite." said Thalia.

"Well sorry. It's true! That thing is ugly!"

"I completely agree with you." spoke Annabeth, now having enough courage to speak up.

"Annabeth!" yelled Thalia.

"Well, just 'cause your dad is all high and mighty-" started Grover. But he was interrupted by Bianca.

"Who made Zeus the big cheese, anyway? Personally, I think it should be Hades."

"What! How could you say that! Hades is the god of Hell! Besides, Poseidon should totally be the boss."

"Oh, sure. You're dad made all the pretty ponies, so he should totally rule," said Annabeth sarcastically," but we need someone smart to be in charge. So the obvious choice is Athena."

"I miss Rainbow." said Tyson sadly.

"Now, now, lets not tear each other apart..." said luke.

"Wow, luke, that's very responsible-" but Benkendorf was cut short by Luke.

"...because you're all wrong. Hermes rules all."

And with that, a giant fight broke out. Everyone was fighting each other. But, as we all know, one teenage girl's voice can rule over many other screaming teenagers.

"SHUT IT!!!" screamed Silena.

Right then everyone stopped simultaneously. The last one fighting was Grover, and he was trying to hit luke with a wet noodle. Once he realized what everyone was doing, he smiled and ate the noodle. Everyone took their seats.

"Now, what would the Gods do if they heard us arguing?"

They all looked ashamed.

Grover spoke up,"They would probably argue over who's kid was right

Silena looked puzzled,"Point taken."

They sat in silence.

"Um, Percy!" yelled Annabeth.

"Huh, What?"

"What happens next?"

"Oh, yeah. Well, I got the quest, so I took the only people I knew at camp. Annabeth and Grover."

"Yeah, yeah, then what happened!"

"Gosh, you guys are like a bunch of kids. Anyway, then we started on our journey..."
