Calypso stood in the middle of the stage, looking through her notes frantically. "Okay…3 contestants…Percy…Got it." She muttered to herself. Calypso looked up. 5 minutes until starting Annabeth mouthed as she readied the camera. Calypso nodded. She could faintly hear Reyna shouting at Leo to get into position. Sheesh… what was wrong with her boyfriend now? Leo pranced stage, skipping and twirling his heart out. Gods, he was wearing a neon pink tight crop top, and a mini skirt with fish net leggings. Calypso looked away, her eyes burning with the afterimage. 3…2…1…Annabeth mouthed to the co- host clicking the button. Calypso took a deep breath, smiled, and began.

"Welcome demigods to the very first live episode of Win a Date with Percy shown on Hephaestus's TV." Percy walked on with a very confused half- smile on his face, as if he was sort of happy to be here but scared of Annabeth's wrath to come and sat on the blinding yellow chair. He muttered something about it being better if it was blue. "And our awesome host, Leo Valdez!" She was careful not to look at him but gestured toward his direction. Leo was sitting on the ground, sitting with his legs crossed, and a mock haughty look on his face. A round of applause followed, with quite a few giggles. "Coming forth, the 3 contestants chosen by Reyna." The director merely waved.

"Welcome Clarisse LaRue…" Calypso glanced at her notes. "Katie Gardener, and Piper Mclean!" The audience clapped after each name. "Valdez, tell them where they are going and which cabin's sponsoring!"

"Well…" He started in a British voice but quickly stopped after seeing Reyna's glare. "Um… they are winning a date to a fancy Italian dinner" he looked at Di Angelo but got a shrug in return. "courtesy of the Demeter Cabin…" A few whistles and clapping arrived cheering for the cabin. "and the cabin sponsoring is umm…. also, Demeter's Cabin! Repair Boy sighed thankful to be done.

"Eeshes, what is with you and your interruptions?" he mocked scolded the audience. "Hasn't your mother told you when the fabulous moi…" the host gestured to himself. "is speaking, all of you should shut up and listen? Ugh, the nerve of some people!" the fire- user through his arms up in fake exasperation.

"When can I leave?" A hopeful voice piped up from behind. The two hosts shared a look. Oops, they had totally forgotten about Percy. Shoot.

"After the show, or else I'll whack you with my…" The son of Hades looked inside his toybox. "With my toy pickle that squirts juice out of it!" he said triumphally. The campers exchanged a look. No one was about to tell Nico how wrong that sounded.

"Hey punks! Can we get the show started?" Clarisse said angrily.

"Uh… yeah!" Bad Boy Supreme organized his notecards, which because the Fates hate us, neon orange. "Percy, my man, read these questions." He handed the cards to the son of Poseidon.

"What's your favorite brand of…glitter?" The chosen one asked questioningly. Leo shrugged and said,

"What? I told you they were going to be random!"

"I like Super Sparkly Fluffy Unicorn the best!" The daughter of Ares said, not even the slightest bit embarrassed.

"Ooh! I prefer Sunshine's Glitter of Rainbow Sparkles! It's just so… sparkly!" The crowd rolled their eyes at Piper's answer.

"Me, hmmm… I like the Brightest and Most Joy Sparkly Ballerinas Dancing on Rainbows!" The crowd gaped at them for being so honest.

Percy grinned, Brightest and Most Joy Sparkly Ballerinas Dancing on Rainbows was his favorite too, even though he wouldn't admit it. He whispered who he picked to Leo.

"One point to Katie!" Leo said in his best announcer's voice, which was crappy. "I would have chosen Mrs. Glitter's Sparkly Delight!" Calypso nodded and drew one tally mark on the board. He turned to Clarisse. "Seriously Super Sparkly Fluffy Unicorn?" The camper nodded, now embarrassed.

"If you dare spread that, I will murder you and ruin your pretty little face!" She threatened.

"Well too bad, you just announced it to Hephaestus TV which is viewed by every demigod, god, nymph, and monsters. Including ARES. And aww, you think my face is pretty. I personally think it's sexy." Leo said as he winked at the audience. Laughter came from all direction.

"Hey Clarisse!" A voice called from above. Annabeth. "No threatening, remember younger campers are also watching this!"

"Time for question two!" Leo shouted, not noticing his mini- skirt was falling. A couple of giggles erupted, and the host looked down. He dropped the skirt fully and swayed his hips.

"You know, that skirt takes away from my natural hotness!" Repair Boy said as he tossed the mini-skirt into the crowd, leaving only his crop top and leggings. One very lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view) camper caught it. Jake Mason, Hephaestus cabin.

"Question two! What are your thoughts on Thalia (A/N: She's appearing next episode)?

Piper answered first, "Well… she's really cool and I like her. But a little violent and should love a little. Everyone should love! I ship Thalico! Murmurs began. "I mean a ship between Nico and Thalia." A very red Nico stormed on stage and began whacking her with his pickle.

"DIE POTATO! DIE!" He screamed as he hit her.

"Wow, chill, chill, Nico. Hit her as much as you want after the show." Reyna shouted, still harboring a grudge against the daughter of Aphrodite, but being professional.

"Okay… How about you Katie?"

"I've never met her, but from what people say, she's cool."

"Great, how about you Clarisse? She obviously couldn't be as cool as me! You called me pwetty!

"You're never going to get over that will you, Valdez?

"Never."

"Gods."

"You never answered the question. NICO!"

"Shit." Nico began whacking her with his pickle, flapping it up and down like a lunatic.

"Okay, okay…Thalia's pretty cool. Coolest person I've ever met, and that's saying something. She's violent, anyone who's violent is great in my book!"

"You can read books?" Percy muttered.

"It's not like you can."

"Uh… yes I can!"

"Prove it!"

"I will!" Percy picked up a book. A B C's. "This is A." he said pointing to B.

"This is L." he said slowly pointing to W. Everyone smacked their heads. Percy is really a Seaweed Brain.

"Percy! You never told me who got the point!" Calypso said, irked by the waiting. Seaweed Brain pointed to Piper's name on the board. Calypso, irritated, put a mark next to her name.

"So, it's a tie! Who will win, who will lose the chance to go on a date with Percy? Who? Who? WHO?"

"Shut it Repair Boy, you sound like an owl." The camera- woman glared at the host. Leo now was wearing a feather hat with pearls on it. Where in Hades did, he find these outfits?

Percy piped upped nervously, "I think I'm going to go on a date with Katie. Piper already has a boyfriend."

"I approve."

"I second."

"I third."

"I seventh!"

Every demigod in the cast gave their approval and ushered the two campers who were going on a date towards the Demeter Cabin.

Annabeth turned the camera towards herself, "That's the episode, guys! Tune in next time to see which camper will be chosen and what random questions will follow! Until next time!" At the very end, you could see an angry Nico beating Piper with his pickle in the background.
