upset people that I discontinued my old story but I didn't like
it anymore. thank you for the constructive
criticism, I'll make sure it's spelled right in the
Future.

Anyway, on to the chapter, I know you're tired of my babbling.

Percy sighed. "fine," he finally said, followed by a loud groan. Nico and Will beamed at him. Percy groaned again; he had just been convinced by Nico to drive to the location where the big three bus would pick up the mortal parents and siblings. It had been a decision between Percy and Nico's zombie chauffeur Jules Albert. In Percy's opinion, it should have been the zombie chauffeur, but in Wills opinion, Nico was already so very tired and shouldn't spend energy on raising more people from the dead, plus a zombie might scare the poor mortals. Nico was all for less work on his part, so he and Will started puppy-eyeing Percy until he gave in. they had a set plan and they were going to follow through with it. the plan was the following:

Each cabin will get their own bus. The big three children will be in one bus together (except Jason, who had opted to go with Piper after she gave him a 'please help me, I don't want to be with only these airheads' look). Hera's honorary cabin didn't have a bus at all, just like Artemis, because there are no demigods of those goddesses. There is one bus for the children of the minor gods and the Dionysus kids, because they are with not enough children for their own busses. Each group of kids elects a driver who has to suffice to two rules. One: be old enough to have a licence and two: Actually have a licence. Yet, a lot of people have decided that rule two didn't have to be followed, per se (Demigods, you know how it is). Said driver will drive their bus full of campers to the the already set location, pick up the mortals, and go back to camp. The buses have been treated with demigod-smell-dampers, just in case. The big three kiddies bus and half of the Minor-gods-slash-Dionysus-kids-bus has seats reserved for family that doesn't fit in the bus with the god their demigod-relative is associated with.

When they had almost reached the meeting-place, Thalia decided that she wanted to ride on the top of the bus, for some reason. She knocked on Percy's head. "Percy!"

'What, Thalia?" Percy said, sighing deeply. 'I don't have any more M&Ms and you can't surf on the top of the bus.'

"Why not? And if I ask nicely? Pretty please?"

Percy sighed even deeper. "Fine, but if you fall off I won't be responsible and I am not going to be the one telling Annabeth that you're dead, because she'll kill me."

"As long as you protect me from Will killing me, I could bring her back as a ghost if the situation arises,' Nico said. Will gave him a funny look. Nico smiled innocently. He really wanted to see the shocked faces of the mortals when they saw Thalia on the roof of their bus. Percy rolled his eyes and stopped the bus by the wayside. Thalia climbed on top, and they were on their way again.

Percy had opened the window of the bus, so that he could hear Thalia scream when she fell off of it. That hadn't happened (yet), but Thalia had been screaming comments to everyone and everything she saw from the rooftop. Percy could hear everything she said, and it really started to get on his nerves. "Nico, please send a dead bird up to scare the living daylights out of her."

"With pleasure, dear fellow. With pleasure. She has been bothering me a bloody amount too," Nico said in the stuffiest posh English accent possible, causing Percy to get a horrifying image of Nico with a monocle, a top head and a seriously huge moustache. (a/n I don't mean to offend anyone. I have been to england and I know that most people there don't look like that(or really talk like that.) It is a lovely country, both me and my beta-reader have been there).

"We'll get to it, chap! Come on, chop chop!" Percy replied in the same accent, grinning all the while despite the rather serious tone in his voice.

"Righty-ho, mate," Nico said, while summoning a skeleton bird with just enough flesh to hold it together. Percy looked at it and gagged slightly. Nico walked to the front of the bus, waited for Percy to open the door and carefully leaned out and put the bird on the top of the bus. A shriek and a yell of "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" told the two snickering boys that Nico's aim had been right. Will shot up out of a light sleep. 'What's happening?' He asked, with a bedhead that would make the person with the wildest hair in the world jealous.

A minute later, an Iris message appeared. It came from Malcolm, Katie, Nyssa, Travis & Connor, Butch, Mitchell and all the other bus drivers, plus Chiron.

"Hello demigods, this is a group message," Chiron started, but he was cut off by everyone talking, or at least trying to talk. Though their lips were moving, and they could hear themselves, they couldn't hear the others in the Iris message, save for Chiron. Chiron sighed. "if I had an arrow for everytime you all didn't let me finish talking, I'd have a lifetime supply of filled quivers. Before you children interrupt me again, let me tell you something. In order for you children to be heard by the rest, you need to throw your own drachma into the mist. Everyone visibly groaned (silently mind you), while drachmas were pulled out of the weirdest places. Nyssa got one from a robot, Travis pulled one out of his sock, Mitchell swiftly took one out of Drews' purse. They threw it into the mist, and the good thing was that everyone could hear each other now. The bad thing was that demigods were not exactly what you would call quiet. Within seconds, everyone in the busses started to scream to each other and to Chiron.

"Chiron! You just cost me a drachma!"

"Mitchell, what did you just take out of my purse?!"

"I needed a drachma!"

"That was mine!"

"Nyssa, that's disgusting!"

"Well, I need some place to store cash!"

"Lou, what are you doing with the itching powder?"

"Nothing, but I think there is some in Drews purse if you need some."

"Yes, it was most certainly in Drews purse! Now my hand itches like crazy!"

"Well, it was meant to touch Drews hand. We didn't realize you'd be pick-pocketing."

"I needed a drachma you numb-skulls!"

"Get your own drachmas than next time, thief!"

"Shut up Drew!"

Chiron sighed. It was moments like this that he almost understood why Dionysus was so annoyed by the demigods.

"Campers, silencio, bitte!" The campers went silent.

"Chiron, that was like three different languages in the same sentence. That is weird."
"Just, be quiet so I can explain something, all right? Because we have almost reached the meeting place!" The campers started loudly cheering, with the exception of Drew, who was still whining about the drachma, and Mitchell, who was promising on the gods and the Styx to pay it back.

The campers went silent, and Chiron started speaking again: "Fine, first of all, if anyone asks to speak to the director of this camp, and I am already talking to someone, just give them Dionysus phone number. He and Argus stayed behind in camp to set everything ready, he will have plenty of time.

"Chiron, that's evil."

Chiron sighed and smiled.

"Yes, but it will give me the time to actually end a conversation in a natural way for once.

Also this is… not the first time we have done this. The last time we had parents over, it didn't really go perfect, not at all perfect, no…" Chiron's mind seemed to slip into some crazy memory. The campers waited silently for him to snap back to reality. When it didn't seem like it was going to happen anytime soon, Annabeth sighed deeply. "Leo do the thing, please," She said. All the campers other than Leo and Annabeth Looked at each other in confusion, as they had no idea what 'the thing' was. Leo grinned like a maniac.

"DONKEY!" he yelled, his voice perfectly replicating the sound of Donkey from shrek. Chiron immediately got out of his trance. "Hmm? Oh no, half horse… what? Oh, right, the parents. Well, I am glad to say that we have arrived! Every camper cheered like crazy, even Thalia, who had somehow heard everything while trying to wrestle with the dead bird.
