A/N: There will be the answer to who came to Camp Half-Blood in this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of the story, Rick Riordan and ancient Greeks do. ;)
*There we go! Chapter number two is changed!*
Travis POV:
The people outside were the...
(drum roll please)
THE OLYMPIANS!
That''s right all of the Greek gods and goddesses were there in their chitons and togas! Me and Connor looked at each other and nodded. We could ask our dad to help with the drink and now we had more people to prank, especially because after the War with Gaea, Hera warmed up to the demigods and Hades and Demeter let Persephone choose if she wanted to live in the Underworld or the Upper world and she chose to choose between every once in a while. What I didn't get was why even the gods and goddesses without children were here. It was then that I saw the other demigods. During that time, Athena already spoke up, explaining that it was a family bonding time. But still, what was up with all the gods appearing in CAMP HALF-BLOOD?
"Demigods, we are here because of a certain someone's orders." She glares at Zeus. "He thinks that we need to have some family bonding time." At that the previously confused Hades and Persephone stares at Zeus like he's gone insane. "So, we will be staying here for the summer and will be going to school with you for at least one year." Oh, this will be interesting, hmm who should we prank...? There is a much larger selection.
"Travis!" That was Katie. "What's up?"
"Zeus." Connor said.
"Actually Zeus is here right now..." I said. " Maybe the sky?"
"I meant what are you doing?" Katie said.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Lady Athena walk over to Annabeth and start to speak with her. Maybe we could try to prank her with something... Then I realized that Katie had left, looking at Lady Demeter carefully.
"So," I started. "What about trying to prank Lady Athena?"
"And run for Tartarus when we're still alive to escape her torture? No thanks!" Said Connor.
True, she was probably really scary when she was angry like Annabeth though worse.
Well who could we prank without getting in too much trouble? Lady Athena was too strict and would take a prank seriously (A/N: Remember this.) . And the Big Three were too powerful. Lord Poseidon was the only laid back one. I mean, pranking Lord Zeus is like a death wish! And then I want to go to Elysium when I die. NOT the Tartarus. Maybe we should just stick to pranking a demigod. I thought, dejected. All of the gods were scary!
"Attention everyone!" Chiron yelled. "Because of this unplanned visit we will have to show the Olympians around as they are not familiar with the new layout."
"This is the perfect time to ask dad, when we get to our cabin." I whispered to Connor.
"Great idea." He whispered back.
"Chiron can we show them the cabins first?" He yelled.
"Sure!" Chiron answered.
"So like Connor just suggested you will visit your cabins first, as for the ones who don't have any children, you can visit the rest of the camp." He said to the others.
It was really loud with all the demigod children going over to their godly parents. And a big rush to who was showing them what.
"Dad!" Me and Connor ran over to him.
"We have..." I started..
"...something to..." Connor added.
"...tell you!" We finished.
"What is it?" He asked us.
That was when the rest of our siblings came over and started pulling our dad to the cabin.
Hermes POV:
I wondered what Connor and Travis was going to tell me...
Athena's POV:
I walked back to the Athena cabin after I told Annabeth that she would be attending Goode High School again this year along with the seven of the prophecy, Nico, Thalia and a few others along with the gods.
"Mom?" Asked Annabeth. "What are we doing for the summer as 'family bonding'?"
Good thing I can mask my emotions well, that way she won't know I'm blanking out. What would she do then? Soon I saw Travis and Connor walk back to their cabin, I also overheard Travis say '"Maybe we should catch a god off guard and feed them our drink, it would be funny to watch them go crazy after all."'. I wonder... Ohh... I got an idea. Though I won't tell you about it. I looked at Hermes and grinned devilishly.
"Mom? Why are you staring at Lord Hermes like that?" Annabeth asked me ever so observant.
"Its nothing, though I have a warning for you: never drink any of the Stoll brothers' drinks." I warned my children. "It'll make you act slightly different."
Then I spotted Poseidon heading over to the horse stables with Perseus, maybe I should try and get the Stolls to prank him... (A/N: I know there's Pothena but it starts later.) Once the cabin got in my view I was impressed! Apparently Annabeth had designed a lot of the camp after a monster attack and a lot of complains from the demigods, I learned from Aphrodite, after she came back from giving a make over to her children. Annabeth who was distracted walked into a mud puddle that I could have sworn wasn't there two seconds ago.
"Where did that come from?" She asked me, puzzled. That expression morphed to anger and disgust once she looked behind me. "What the Hades are you doing here?"
"Well, well, well we meet again Athena," She said, noticing my children."I have gotten a new master, young girl. One that has been getting stronger every day." She added looking at Annabeth and beckoning her forward. I steeped between them, glaring at Arachne.
"You know I can blast you to bits right now, right?" I said unaware that my eyes were black at the moment, flicked my wrist and then she dissolved before she could respond to my question.
"Athena!" I turned and saw Zeus jogging over to us. "Do you know where Thalia went?"
"I haven't seen her yet." I said."Honestly, I think that she's with the Hunters."
"I'm here!" Thalia was racing over with the rest of the Hunters. Apparently, I was correct.
"I told my Hunters where we were." Said Artemis.
When we started heading back to the Athena cabin my children, Artemis and I, I saw my owls circling high above us, chasing each other around playfully. And then a horse came and rode alongside them, ruining their fun. The owls immediately stiffened and flew higher in the sky to retreat from the horse as it whined in protest (A/N: Remember Pothena starts later.) Inside, the cabin was a mess papers. Along with things everywhere. Which, by Annabeth's expression was Hermes' cabin's fault. I stormed out the door and knocked on the door. No one answered, I looked inside the window and saw them looking at the door fearfully while sitting on the ground. I was taking out my spear to knock the door down when Hermes opened the door fearfully.
Poseidon's POV:
I headed back to the Poseidon cabin after watching Arachne fully disintegrate. On the way I saw Athena storm to the Hermes cabin with Hermes fearfully open the door and running away with Athena-who was holding a thunderbolt- hot on his trail. Looks like Hermes is afraid of her. Oh well, there goes any chance of pranking her. I sighed. Maybe I should try to reason with her and tell her what really happened with Medusa. That good-for-nothing girl who put some spell on me. Me! One of the big three and the ruler of the seas! The spell wore off when I saw Athena but it was too late.
"Do you think we're going to have a water balloon fight these days?" I asked Percy.
"Maybe?" He answered uncertain.
After 'touring' the mostly empty Poseidon cabin I took a walk around. Then I heard Chiron announce that the gods and goddesses will have a "miniature" Olympus to stay in thanks to Athena materializing it two seconds ago. The building was actually really big but smaller than the one over the Empire building... It was built for us to stay in for the summer, then we gods would design a mansion for all of us who are going to school this year; namely practically everyone. When I heard Zeus say that I though about which school we were going to in the summer. We had already told the demigods' mortal parents about it so now we only had to find a school and names. After all we couldn't just walk in the school and say something like " Hi, I'm Poseidon, the god of the sea and I want to attend this school." Then everyone would think we're crazy. Besides, no one would believe us. Hmm... but if we did that what would the mortals reactions be? If you're wondering about why I want a water balloon fight, it's to prank someone... like Hades or Zeus. (A/N: You though it'd be Athena didn't ya?)
"How's school?" I asked Percy, interrupting the calmness of the scene.
"Good, I guess." He answered. "Do you think you're going to Goode with us this year?" He asked me.
"Maybe, I could talk to Zeus about it." I said in answer to his question.
Bored I started making tiny figurines using the water in the lake, where we were at now. Laughing, Percy started to do the same. We walked past a slightly drunk Dionysus who was talking to his son Pollux and Leo, a son of Hephaestus. Also creeping Leo, a son of Hephaestus out, may I add, by saying " Well did you see the Leo, library?" He frowned. "Library, Leo. Whatever." (A/N: I got this from SoN. Btw on a totally unrelated topic did you notice that SoN spells "son"? When the first word is son? LOL. Sorry I'm rambling.)
"Um, Dionysus you do know that there isn't a library at Camp Half-Blood right?" Percy said slowly.
"Really? But I though this is Olympus?" Apparently Dionysus is really drunk before we got here. No wonder he couldn't stay still when Chiron was speaking. Hey! That means I can drench him and he won't get mad enough to make me drunk! I waved my hand and immediately a wave off water drenched him. I waved my hand again and me and Percy were in the water with a few dolphins surrounding us. Then I teleported us out of there and into the Poseidon cabin. Then I realized that Dionysus wasn't drunk after I poured water over him, how do I know? I saw Leo and Pollux running in fear at the angry Dionysus. I guess he wasn't listening to anyone.
"I guess we'll be in here for a while." I said as Dionysus stalked towards us. I guess we're lucky we're in a cabin.
"Well at least we're luckier than Hermes right?" Asked Percy while watching a very, very frightened Hermes pinned under an angry Athena, who held a thunderbolt and seemed about to use it. That was when Hermes tried using magic. All it did was make him scream in a very high pitched voice.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He screamed so loud I could hear him even when I was in the cabin.
Percy's POV:
I watched Hermes scream loudly, so loud that everyone went outside. Even father and I.
"Athena, I don't think this is needed-" He was cut off by Athena.
"When he messed up my children's cabin? I think this is needed." She said in a dangerously calm voice that was creepy enough to make Zeus flinch.
"Where did you even get my thunderbolt, correction master-bolt from anyways?" Everyone gasped at that.
"Well I summoned it of course dear father" She continued in the same voice. Then growled to Hermes. "You'd better never do that again, its immensely difficult to organize your ideas of architecture when you don't have much time. Especially messes caused by your head full of piffle. And don't say your innocent I know its your fault along with your children, but I'm in a bad mood so I'd rather hurt you than kill your children. If you do that again the camp will have a small treat called Hermes on a stick."
She looked at him carefully, zapped him, straightened and walked away as if she didn't just use Zeus' master-bolt to threaten Hermes. I saw father looking disappointed I guess he wanted to prank Athena VIA Hermes, but was sad that Hermes was afraid of Athena. Then I thought of Goode; it was nice but there were too many jocks and sluts and wine parties. The good part was Paul was a teacher there, at least this year the gods will be with us, so less monsters should attack us. I hoped we were going there, even with all the jocks and sluts.
"I think I'm going to go back inside, Dad." I said, walking into my cabin and looking through my school supplies. Aha! My small conch shell! It was sea green, and had my name written on it in black ink.
Leo's POV:
Well, hello there fellow readers, this will be in the point of view of the amazing...Leo Valdez! *Lots of applause* Thank you! Thank you! *Bows dramatically*
Well it starts like this...
I ran over to the hill with the other demigods and saw the gods and goddesses there! Then Lady Athena had a small speech about the "family bonding" thingies and going to school. Now here I am after taking father for a tour along with my other siblings.
"I wonder if we should be worried about the Stolls after our father is here." I mumbled not intending anyone to hear me.
"I think they might still prank us, a god might not stop them. We should still be on alert; the might prank us when we least expect it." That was Nyssa.
"True, they might do that." I replied playing with a spare screw. "Or they might not; they're quite impulsive-"
A shout from Hermes cut me off, he was pinned under a very angry Lady Athena, who by the way was holding a thunderbolt-no wait, Lord Zeus' master bolt; at least that's what I heard. Ohh-kaayy by the Stolls' expression they won't be pranking the Athena cabin anytime soon.
"Well maybe the Stolls will do it a different time by their expressions." Said Nyssa, watching Lady Athena stalk away.
Soon the unmistakable sound of the conch bell sounded. Time for dinner! Our cabin lined up and followed Jake to the dining pavilions. We had just sat down when Chiron stood up.
"Attention campers!" He said through a microphone. "The gods will not be here for dinner right now, so we will be planning some activities to do this summer ourselves. Any suggestions?" He asked.
I saw a mischievous glint in Percy's eyes when he raised his hand.
"Yes Percy?" Called Chiron.
"What about a water balloon fight?" He asked. Oh, no not that! He and Lord Poseidon would have a gigantic advantage! The were the only ones with water powers.
"Sure, but to make it fair you and Lord Poseidon will have to be on different sides." Agreed Chiron.
"But my dad's a god!" Protested Percy.
"Well you were granted immortality once, right?" Asked Chiron. My jaw dropped. I hadn't known that! "So you can be just as good." He continued when Percy nodded.
"But he's one of the big three!" Percy kept protesting.
"And you defeated Ares."Chiron pointed out.
"Oh fine, but can my side have a bit more people?" Percy asked.
"Maybe." Answered Chiron. "Any other special suggestions?" He asked us.
"Sure! A picnic underwater?" Surprisingly, that was Annabeth who said that.
"That would be refreshing-not always eating in here." Chiron responded. "Sure, why not!" He agreed after a while.
"Visiting the finished library?" We all jumped at Lady Athena's voice. We all kneeled. "Get up!" She said.
"Lady Athena, if I may ask what are you doing here?" Asked Chiron. "I thought I told the gods to stay in the small house that you designed."
Small?
"Oh, I just had to take a break from being in the same place as Barnacle Beard for too long." She said sitting down next to Chiron and started to say something to him.
After that little bit of excitement we enjoyed our dinner and peacefully walked over to our cabins to chat for a while.
"I wonder what our parents are doing right now." I asked Jake.
"Heading to the mini Olympus I guess." He replied.
"I guess so..." I said, walking into our cabin and conking out.
