I had to take the stupid freaking MEAP today? Did anybody else?

I have piano lessons in 25 minutes so I better get to work.

Annabeth

Annabeth frantically tried to piece together what everyone was saying. After she had stopped freaking out, she and Percy had explained how they knew Nico. Hazel then let them know that chances are he was going to be in Rome and Greece as well. Annabeth had started planning on how best to kill the shady little tool, but decided to wait until later, when Frank started talking.

"Uh, I'm Frank. Well, my family has this like, power I guess that started a long time ago with a son of Neptune, Poseidon, whatever, who was an Argonaut-" Leo interrupted him.

"Hold up, hold up. What does that make us then? Argo-two-nauts? That doesn't sound good, let's go with the Leonauts."

"How about we go with shut-up before I send a bolt of lightning into your face?" Jason said. Leo stopped talking.

"Um anyways," Frank continued, "This guy had like this power to become whatever he wanted- literally. And it's passed through my family, so I can do it too. So even though I'm a son of Mars, I'm also technically a descendent of Poseidon, Neptune, whatever."

"Can you demonstrate?" Annabeth asked him.

"Sure.." He said. Nothing happened. "Well um it's easier if I'm in like a life or death situation.."

"Ok, I got it. So I guess I'll go. My name is Annabeth Chase. I'm a daughter of Athena. I've lived at Camp Half blood since I was 7… living with my family doesn't really work. Camp Half Blood is really different from here, we all live with our siblings, eat with our siblings, and train with our siblings. I guess we're more based on family. I'm the head counselor of my cabin-"

"And she's head over heels for Percy" Leo cooed. Annabeth punched him.

"At least she's not in love with someone's sister who's a freaking maiden!" Piper remarked.

"What?" Percy asked.

"Crap, sorry." Piper apologized. "That wasn't really mine to tell."

"It's ok Pipes," Jason told her. "Well you know how I'm a son of Jupiter, right?"

"Yea," Percy said, still lost.

"That would make Thalia my sister anyway, but we kind of have the same mom, so we're legit siblings. Like beside the whole Jupiter, Zeus confusion."

"I never knew Thalia had a brother." Was all Percy said.

"She thought I was dead."

"Oh... But bro that's so cool! Thals is great." Percy told him. Jason got a dreamy look on his face and just nodded.

"Leo?" Jason prompted. Leo snapped his fingers and a little flame appeared. Frank shot away from him.

"You ok? Sorry man didn't mean to scare you." Leo apologized.

"N- No it's cool."

"Anyways," Leo said. "I got wicked cool fire powers, obviously, and I happen to be stunningly gorgeous." Piper punched him.

Piper went next. "I'm a charmspeaker," she said.

"What exactly does that mean?" Percy asked. Piper looked at Annabeth as if to askher permission to manipulate Percy. She shrugged.

"Percy," Piper said. "Take your toga off." He stood up and started taking off his bed sheet. Everyone else was rolling around laughing. "Ok, Percy that's enough, you can sit down now." She said when his torso was completely unveiled. Percy sat. "That," Piper said, "is charmspeak."

Percy leaned closer to Annabeth and whispered "She scares me," in her ear.

Percy and Jason were the only ones who hadn't told about themselves yet. They shared a look that was like a consensual, 'there's nothing to tell that they haven't already heard.'

Annabeth looked at Reyna who looked like she was feeling very awkward since she wasn't part of the seven. She looked like quite a nice girl, and from the information Piper passed on that Jason had told her, she was almost Jason Grace's girlfriend. She would be good for Jason, Annabeth thought.

The gang sat and talked for quite some time, exchanging crazy stories and making fun of one another. Annabeth could tell Jason was making a conscious effort to include Reyna, but she just didn't look comfortable.

Finally, Reyna announced it was time for dinner, so they all exited the Principia and walked towards the crowd that was going into the mess hall.

"Where are we supposed to sit?" Annabeth whispered into Percy's ear.

"It's weird here, you can sit wherever you want. I mean like there's tables assigned to each cohort, but nobody really sits where they're supposed to."

"Which cohort are you in?" Annabeth asked.

"Guess." Percy responded.

"First?" Annabeth asked. Percy shook his head. "Second?" He shook his head again. "Third?" She tried, but he once again said no. "Don't tell me you in the worst cohort!"

"Yep. If you don't got papers, nobody else wants you. In my opinion though, they're the coolest ones here. C'mon, you'll love them." He said pulling her into the sea of purple.

They sat down at one of the low tables with Hazel, Frank, Jason, and a boy Annabeth didn't recognize. Leo and Piper sat at a table next to them by themselves, Annabeth wasn't sure why since there was plenty of room.

"Jason! Man it's been nuts around here without you! Completely nuts! And there's this whack job walking around who they say is praetor! But man I don't believe it for a second!" Percy looked a little offended

"Dakota, you might want to lay off the Kool-aid for a while. Now what is this business 'bout you taking my job?" The fact Percy was wearing Jason's cape hadn't come up yet.

"Well you know it was the Feast of Fortuna yesterday and since you weren't here they all wanted me to be the praetor and Reyna wouldn't exactly let me say no, but I'm kind of getting used to the idea." Percy said, taking a sip of his blue drink.

"Yea well it wasn't exactly Reyna's right to give my seat away." Jason shot back.

"Sorry, but if I want to be praetor, I can ok? The legionnaires chose me. Your just mad because I'm Greek aren't you?" Percy shouted at him. The rest of the table was completely silent.

"Percy, whatever. You can waltz right in and take my girl, take my friends, and take my praetorship while I'm back in New York almost dying to save your home, but you know, it's cool!" Jason yelled.

"You aren't even making any sense! I have a freaking girlfriend if you haven't noticed! And by the way I was out her almost dying trying to protect your home!"

"Well sorry our camp's not good enough for you and needs you to rush in and play superman!"

"Yea well I'm sorry about that too!" Percy jumped up from the table and stomped out of the mess hall headed straight towards the fifth cohorts' barracks. Annabeth immediately ran after him.

Frank, Piper, Leo, and Hazel stared at each other in complete awkwardness.

"Alright guys!" Reyna shouted. "Time for war games!"
