P.O.V. Angelina
I was in awe of what Elijah had built. I jumped in bed and turned on the tv. It was on commercial so I glanced up at the top of my bunk. I stared at the harp that was staring back at me. I heard Emily yelling and glanced at the source. Emily was waving her fist and Elijah and chasing him around the cabin.
"Im gonna kill you for making my bunk like that!" Emily said.
"Take a number!" Elijah yelled back.
"Blank space!" I yell, "Full Volume."
"NICE TO MEET YOU WHERE YOU BEEN, I COULD SHOW YOU INCREDIBLE THINGS, MAGIC, MADNESS-!"
"Shut that thing up!" Aangela yelled.
I glanced at Emily's bunk, which was pink and red, with hearts and flowers all over it and stifled a giggle. Aangela came stomping in and threw a perfectly-aimed book at Elijah's head, knocking him out. He groaned and fell with a thud to the floor. We crowded around him. Aangela poured nectar onto a producing bump on his head. The boys heard the commotion and stomped inside.
"What the heck is going on?!" Blake asked. He glanced at the scene. Me,Alaina, Emily and Destiny, leaning over Elijah, with Aangela pouring 1 inch of nectar on his head.
She lifted the canteen and elbowed Emily. She looked hurt for a second then gasped in realization. She smiled a grin any boy would fall for. The boys visually relaxed.
"I think you guys need some rest, are you guys sleepy? Cuz' I think you're sleepy." Then she started to sing in a magnificent voice.
"Rock-a-bye baby
on the treetop
when the wind blows
the treetops will sway,
Rock-a-bye baby
on the treetop,
when the wind blows
The treetops will swaaaaaaay."
The boys were asleep once she finished the first verse. Destiny was on my lap, sucking her thumb and Alaina was on Aangela's lap, with Aangela looking sleepy/disgusted. We nodded at each other and fell asleep. I woke up with Alaina and Emily yelling wake up in each ear. I had my eyes closed and I swatted them with my hands. I choked while Alaina and Emily hugged me.
"You're alive!" Alaina and Emily exclaimed in unison.
"Can't…...Breath." I managed to choke out.
They released hold and I fell with a muffled thud on the pillow. Just then, A voice played out of hidden speakers in the room and Blake's voice played out.
"We have arrived at our destination!" He said, "The cow goes moo!"
We burst out laughing.
"The pig goes oink!" Blake called out, "Why are you laughing at me?"
We heard a crash.
"VALDEZ!" Blake screeched.
We heard stumbling and a few girlish screams.
"VALDEZ!" Blake,Jake, and yelled.
We couldn't hold it down anymore. Me and Alaina were rolling on the floor, laughing our guts out, Destiny was desperately hanging on a pole to stop her from fall over from laughter. Emily was clutching her gut and had an arm around , who was wiping her eyes.
"What's our destination?" I choked out.
"California!" Blake responded over the two way speaker " Augustus wants to declare war on Camp Half-Blood to 'avenge his Brother, Octavian, who first declared war on Camp Half-Blood."
Aangela ran out of our room and practically leaped out the bus door, with Jake closely behind.
Aangela pulled out her phone with Jake looking closely over her shoulder. Aangela swatted him away. I quietly snuck behind her to see who she was texting.
W153 G1RL:Where do you live? Im in Cali. for some time! ;)
BLONDIE:I live where I always live! U IDIOT! Me and Derrick live In L.A!
W153 G1RL:I'm sooooooo coming!
With that, she sprinted off, but before she could go any farther, Jake grabbed her.
"Let's take the tour bus!" He said.
We piled in the bus and Jake headed off to where I thought the engine room was located.
I stared out the window as we inched our way toward L.A.
I promise you, I saw girls and boys running amok on the streets, waving quickly made poster, saying
KISS ME, ROSS!
i'M UR BIGGEST FAN RIKER/RIDEL!
I LOVE U MORE!
That one, one girl was yelling I love you more while another was pushing against her, yelling the same thing.
"ELIJAH?!" yelled as we heard a crash.
I grabbed Alaina's wrist, along with Emily's and Aangela's. We rounded the corner as grabbed Elijah's collar.
"What did you put on the side of the bus?!" She growled.
"I ma have put , oh I don't know…. R5?" He said, shrugging his shoulders innocently.
put him down and stuck her head out the window. To her surprise, everyone was trying to grab at her face or asking for autographs.
"WHAT THE HECK!?" yelled.
She pulled her head out and closed the window on some hand trying to get in. She sighed.
"L.A!" Elijah called over the speakers, "Here we come!"
Aangela ran out the room when the bus stopped and completely forgot the fact that Jake was hot on her heels.
"Liah and Derrick, here I come!" Aangela yelled at the top of her lungs as she jumped out the bus, only to be greeted by a girl with blond hair, and blue eyes.
"Stereotypical blond girl" I mutter under my breath as I walk out the bus.
Aangela shot me a death glare and I whimpered.
The girls backed up behind Aangela talking to Liah and the boys backed up Jake, who was talking to Derrick.
"Derrick, I think its time!" Liah called out. "Im sorry I didn't tell you this earlier, Aangela, I just wanted everyone to be here!"
"Uh, whats going on?" I asked.
"Okay. Here we go."Liah said. "Derrick and I are engaged."
Aangela and Jake just stood there, gawking at what they just heard. Jake broke the silence.
"Nice move man, after all these years!" Jake said to Derrick with a fist bump.
"All these years! How many?!" She said, jabbing a finger at him.
"Um. maybe since we were oh I don't know, since we were 12?" He said in a small voice.
"Ahh. It's no big deal, we're engaged anyway!" Liah said, receiving a big grin from Derrick.
"Uh Sorry to interrupt this reunion, but us 10 have to get to San Francisco!" cut in.
We all glared at her.
"I'm umm Sorry, Liah, but 's right." Aangela admitted.
We piled into the bus and sadly waved goodbye to Liah and Derrick.
We got to San Francisco in no time.
P.O.V Alaina
We were each pushed out of the bus to make peace with the Romans, with Emily, who can charm-speak, in the lead.
"Hello." Emily said stiffly, remembering that Romans were more warlike than Greeks. "I would like to see your Praetor."
A little boy, no more than 10, stepped up.
"Do you mean Eris?" The little boy asked.
"If thats the Praetor, then yes." Emily answered, smiling sweetly.
An older girl who looked about 16 stepped out. She reached her hand out.
"Hi I'm Eris, the Praetor of the 12th Legion and I need at least 2 of you to follow me, if not 2, then 4." She said stiffly.
Blake, Aangela, Emily, and I followed Eris to a big, domish,building with purple banners going down each side. We followed her inside was a big, conferencing table with fruits in the middle. Me and Blake tried to reach for it, but Emily swatted Blake's hands away while Aangela swatted mine away. I whimpered. Eris got on a throne and was immediately surrounded by a gold and silver dog.
"Now, am I right that the reason your here is because of Augustus's 'announcement' to pledge war on the Greeks, to avenge his brother, Octavian." Eris said, crossing her legs and straightening her back.
"Yes Eris. Chiron, the roman counterpart of Lupa, sent us here to stop him from waging the war." Emily said, sprinkling some charm speak.
Eris laughed, not a normal laugh, but a cold, humorless laugh.
"I am not affected by charmspeak, but since Argum and Argentum do not like liars, I assume you are not lying." Eris said, in a formal, almost old fashioned way.
Aangela raised an eyebrow.
I sighed at how her Athena/Minerva side kicked in. Aangela raised an eyebrow at me so high, that it disappeared under her hairline. As Emily described it, I was enveloped in a rainbow light and a huge rainbow glowed over my head.
"Alaina. Right?" Eris asked.
"Yeah" I said, still feeling the rainbow light around me.
"Alaina, daughter of Arcus" Eris said.
"Iris?" I asked,confused.
"Yes!" Aangela answered.
I don't know where it came from, but I waved my hand and a clear, image with a little rainbow tint came up.
"I've never seen that type of power for children of Arcus." Eris said, intrigued.
It showed Jake, in front of them and a straw haired guy with a blue eyes, who looked like to be making fun of them, calling them Graecus scum and calling them weaklings. Elijah burst into flames, But Jake stopped him and spoke up.
"First of all, the Greeks defeated Kronos, and his whole army, with LESS campers then you guys!" Jake lifted his hand up, which summoned a tidal wave, "My brother, Percy Jackson, defeated Kronos, held up the sky, survived a volcano explosion, succeeded in getting the Golden Fleece, which saved his camp, defeated Mars/Ares in sparring, gaining Zeus's lightning bolt and saving the whole world from the biggest war, even worse than the Trojan War, saved Artemis, he was in both Great Prophecies, also defeated Atlas, killed Kampe` and he and his friends, Jason Grace, Piper Mclean, Annabeth Chase, Leo Valdez,Hazel Levesque, and Frank Zhang destroyed Gaea and lulled her back to sleep, saving the world."
He raised his hand dousing Augustus head-to-toe.
"ERIS!" He screamed.
We held our ears, remembering that his grandfather was Apollo, magnifying his voice.
Eris mouthed 'sorry' and motioned for us to follow her. I slashed at the live video feed with my sword and it disappeared.
We got there in under 5 minutes.
"What is wrong, Augustus?" Eris asked stiffly.
Augustus looked from Jake to Eris back and forth.
"This EVIL Graecus scum has doused the current AUGER head to toe!" Augustus screeched.
Jake stifled a giggle. I was laughing into Aangela's shoulder.
"Says the guy who says that the Romans did all the work in saving the world! Who defeated Kronos? US! Which type of Demigods destroyed Gaea? GREEK!" Aangela said "All the Roman demigods did was follow your horrible brother, who WANTED WAR, and he thought the problem to help the Gods get over split personality was to annihilate the Greeks, to restore their 'proper manifestation' Roman, when, the origin of the gods came from the Greeks, which came FIRST!"
Everyone agreed that all Octavian wanted was power, not Justice.
Augustus just stood there, shell shocked.
"Now, if you wage war on Camp Half Blood your camp will also be destroyed." Emily concluded, "During the Prophecy of the seven, the Hazel, saw that if she didn't get the Athena Parthenos to Camp Half Blood in time, they would have no home to go to if that didn't happen, because all of you would be dead!"
Cheering erupted from the crowd, some people yelling, 'Thanks for standing up to him,' Or 'I wouldn't have that much courage!'
Eris winked then quickly put on a stone cold expression, dragging Augustus along with her.
"But…What...If... He was being mean to me!" Augustus wailed.
We all got into the bus and I picked a drachma out of no where.
"Where'd you get that?" Aangela asked, confused yet intrigued.
I shrugged. "I don't know. It just appeared out of thin air."
"Jake!" Aangela yelled.
He came running with a almost hopeful expression on his face.
"Yeah?" He asked hopefully.
"I need you to make a rainbow for Alaina!"
He groaned, " ."
He raised his hand and water shot out of the faucet and when it hit the light, it turned into rainbow.
"O, mother, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering!" I said.
They were staring at me like I was a lunatic as I threw the coin into the rainbow. It dissolved.
"Show me Chiron." I said.
Chiron showed up and it seemed he was in the little Centaurs room.
We waited for him to stop and I cleared my throat.
"Oh, children!" Chiron said, then he furrowed his brows, "What's wrong?"
"We don't exactly know what to do!" Jake whined.
We glared at him.
"I suggest Europe." Chiron said.
"But thats going to take forever!" Angelina and I whined.
Chiron cleared his throat and continued. "Hephaestus and Elijah made this together as one and theres a turbo speed that feels normal but you really are going 200 mph." Chiron explained.
"Ohhhhh!" We each said.
"ELIJAH!" Emily yelled.
He came running in, looking like he was in trance.
"Emily! You put charmspeak on!" Aangela yelled.
Emily smiled sheepishly and I saw a blush start to creep up her cheeks. Elijah shook his head and he seemed out if trance.
"At your service!" Elijah said, bowing mockingly.
"Turn on Turbo speed!" Emily yelled, her voice laced with charmspeak.
Lets just say, I've never seen such a scrawny boy run SO fast. We ran up to our cabin and flopped on our bed.
"The gods insist we take a break and to the Santa Monica Beach." Elijah's voice played over the hidden speakers."And the dress code is formal. Aphrodite insists that the boys wear tuxes and the girls wear dresses! Please bring a swimsuit, because the Jake and Poseidon are going to push everyone into the sea! Peace OUT!"
I heard a exasperated yell coming from Jake and I swiped my hand, revealing a very mad Jake trying to kill Elijah with a imperial gold sword.
"Eh. Wonder where he got that?" I thought out loud.
"Also, Aphrodite has picked out an outfit for the following, including swim suit." A very tired, panting Elijah called out. I heard a crumbling of a paper being raised up. "Aangela, Alaina, Jake, Blake, and Angelina."
I heard Angelina and Aangela groan.
"Please help me Athena!" Aangela muttered.
P.O.V. Aangela
I stepped into the closet to see a pretty glittery arm made out of magic holding out a
