Underworld 9:00 am

Hades sat sulking in his bedroom, the fates were probably enjoying themselves in the Carribeans while he was stuck here with a major problem on his hands.

As he sat sulking, he heard a series of raps on his door,"Dad! Persephone said Demeter is here and she wants you down for breakfast! Hurry!"

Suddenly, a crazy idea formed in his head, "Ah yes, Nico. Come in, what is the matter?"

The door opened slightly and Nico nervously stepped in as the door shut with a bang behind him. Hades smiled and motioned for Nico to come closer.

"Nico... Can you summon your demigod friends to come to the Underworld for errr, a summer party!"

The way Nico looked at his father was like how you would look at a beaver eating bananas, "Ummm, dad. Summer is already over."

"Hahaha. Oh, I meant spring party."

"It's Autumn."

"Oh, yes! I meant Autumn party!"

"Err, ok."

Hades cursed under his breath. Nico retreated from Hades' bedroom as fast as he could -the paintings in there were creeping him out plus his father's weird behavior wasn't helping and quickly summoned a army of skeleton scribes to write out and send the invitations to his friends.

After three hours, nobody arrived. Hades waited in his throne room for another hour, still nobody came. Guess the prospect of having an Underworld 'party' wasn't to exciting. After waiting for five minutes more, Hades could no longer stand it! Stomping out of the the throne room, he summoned his skeletal horses and climbed onto his chariot.

Camp Half-blood 9:30 am

At Camp Half-blood, everyone was taking turns throwing their party invitations into the blazing fire at the mess hall. a distinctive rumble of hooves could be heard from a distance. As they were burning the invitations, Hades suddenly rode into the camp causing a lot of commotion. He stopped in the middle of camp and shouted for all demigods to gather there. Slowly, demigods began coming out of cabins, hiding places and toilets to gather there. Travis and Katie were missing from the crowd of demigods.

Ah hah! Katie, a spawn of his irritating, cereal obsessed, pathetic excuse of a goddess mother-in-law, Demeter. This would be the perfect time to get his back on her.

Hades stomped up to a tree that seemed to be making kissing noises and kicked, hard. With an ommph, two people fell from the tree onto the ground. Groaning Katie and Travis looked up only to see a disgusted Hades.

"Err, hi Lord Hades." Travis gulped

Katie glared at Hades for disturbing her snog with a flustered Travis but he just ignored her.

Hades smirked when he saw Percy and Annabeth creep into the crowd of demigods. With a snap of his fingers, Percy, Travis, and Katie appeared behind bars in his throne room in the Underworld.

"Welcome demigods."

Katie pounded on the bars," Let us out! Or else I'll tell my mother mush-for-brains!

Hades winced, the youth of today and their big dirty mouths. He snapped his fingers and Katie could no longer be heard.

"Now, I have invited you here kindly to take the places of the three fates for an hour."

Percy spluttered, "What? No way!"

"Tsk tsk tsk." said Hades shaking his head. "You can take Atropos' place, hmmm, Travis can be Clotho for today, Katie the big noisy one can represent Lachesis today."

With a clap of his hands, the three of them appeared by the River Styx. Percy was holding the abhorred shears, Travis sat by a spinning machine with a huge pile of brown wool and a smaller pile of golden wool that shone while Katie was holding a ruler and a book that read, Fating for Dummies.
