Chapter 3: Truth or Dare Continued...
Percy's POV
"Dare." I said.
"I dare you to tell us all the truthful positive comments you can think of about Clarisse." Nico dared.
Clarisse looked like she was expecting me to say nothing.
"She was a hero enough to be able to stand up to the greatest fear Deimos was showing her. Plus, she actually does know how to say thank you-contrary to popular belief-, she's saved my butt more than once, and she was willing to stand up for Silena when everyone else called her a traitor. And honestly, she's smarter, nicer, and prettier than anyone gives her credit for. Not to mention, Chris says she's a good kisser. And don't forget she's my friend" I honestly stated.
Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Clarisse and Chris smiled though.
"What do you mean her greatest fear?" Connor asked.
"That's confidential. Truth or dare Zoë?" I asked.
Clarisse looked greatful.
"Truth." Zoë said.
"What do you think of me?" I questioned politely.
"You're very nice and wholesome compared to most men, and you're the first man I've trusted since Hercules. And Nico's the second..." She muttered the last part.
"Thanks." I said.
Zoë smiled. "Truth or dare Oracle?" She asked.
"You can call me Rachel. And truth." Rachel said.
"Did you have the rumored crush on Percy?" Zoë asked with the evil grin she used when Thalia punched me on the quest to save Artemis. Don't ask.
"Yes. But I've gotten over that since I became the Oracle and became friends with Annabeth. She and Percy are better together anyway." Rachel answered.
Annabeth smiled.
"Truth or dare Grover?" Rachel asked.
"Dare." Grover decided.
"I dare you to sing I just came to say hello to Mr. D. It only has to be that line." Rachel dared him.
Rachel dared him, get it?
"It's not that funny Percy." Rachel rolled her eyes.
"Since when do you read minds?" I asked.
"I didn't. I saw a vision of you telling the joke to Annabeth later." Rachel explained.
Grover left and came back within a couple of minutes. He had grape juice and strawberries in his hands.
"Why...?" Thalia started.
"Dionysus is so drunk he thought it was funny and gave me gifts." Grover explained.
"He's not supposed to be drunk." Luke stated.
"Zeus lifted that rule this morning." Grover elaborated. "Truth or dare Thalia?" He asked.
"Truth." Thalia said.
"When did you fall in love with Luke?" Grover asked.
"A few months before we met Annabeth. You should've seen the get well cards and the flowers." Thalia smiled.
Annabeth said that when Thalia went to the hospital, Luke borrowed some roses from Aphrodite and wrote a get well card. Then there were a series of events that ended with their first kiss the same day. Thalia tells Annabeth a lot of stuff.
"Truth or dare Annabeth?" Thalia asked.
"Truth." Annabeth said.
"Who was your first kiss?" Thalia questioned.
I know what you're thinking. But Annabeth already told me it wasn't me.
"Luke." Annabeth replied.
Everyone stared at Luke.
"It was a small kiss on the lips on her 11th birthday, it's not like I used tongue." Luke defended himself.
"Truth or dare Luke?" Annabeth sighed.
"Truth." Luke decided.
"What did you do after I slapped you a couple of years ago in San Francisco at that park?" Annabeth was curious.
"I felt bad. I also snapped at Kelli and told her to go die in a hole for insulting you." Luke admitted.
Annabeth smiled.
"Truth or dare Leo?" Luke asked.
"Dare." Leo grinned.
"I dare you to tell us about Calypso." Luke said.
Leo took five whole minutes just as a general description.
"That was beautiful." Piper wiped a tear from her eye.
"You owe me five dollars." Silena said.
"She had to act girly." Leo said as he handed Silena five dollars. "Truth or dare Jason?" He asked.
"Dare." Jason chose.
"I dare you to admit all of your feelings for Piper to Silena. You can whisper in her ear." Leo said mischievously.
Jason whispered some things in Silena's ear.
"You're so cute." Silena said.
Jason blushed as he asked, "Beckendorf, truth or dare?"
"Truth." Charlie picked.
"Have you been in love with anyone besides Silena before?" Jason questioned.
"Just minor crushes. Nothing big." Charlie seemed nervous.
Annabeth looked like she wanted to giggle.
"Liar." Luke coughed.
"Just say it, I already know. She told me because she's the one who suggested you ask me out." Silena giggled.
"I used to like Annabeth." Charlie admitted. "Piper, truth or dare?" He asked.
"Truth." Piper said.
"Have you liked anyone besides Jason?" Charlie asked.
"No." Piper stated plain and simple.
Of course the blonde Superman is the only interesting one to her.
"Silena, truth or dare?" Piper asked.
"Truth." Silena decided.
"How did you and Clarisse become friends." Piper was curious.
We all inched forward to listen except for Chris and Clarisse. Chris was smiling, and Clarisse was smiling with her hand over her eyes. Silena grinned.
"I noticed that Clarisse and Chris liked each other, so I tried giving Chris advice first-Because he's the easy one. Then, I stalked Clarisse everywhere until she would at least hear me out. Next, I was deemed shower stalker, and I kept bugging her and bugging her until she finally listened to my advice. Then she had the perfect first date with Chris, became my personal bodyguard, and finally my friend." Silena looked pleased with herself. "Then we became best friends." She added happily.
"She must've really liked you if she listened to your advice instead of killing you." Leo joked and pointed out.
"We have a complicated friendship." Clarisse vaguely explained.
"So Chris, truth or dare?" Silena asked.
"Truth." Chris smiled.
"Did everything with your relationship work out like I predicted?" Silena questioned.
"Sort of." Chris said.
"You two are getting married and having a baby?!" Rachel asked.
"Ummm..." Chris was confused.
"Vision. Now are you?!" Rachel asked again.
"Yes." Chris admitted.
Clarisse turned red.
"I'm the Godmother, right?" Silena asked.
"Yes." Clarisse giggled nervously.
"And Luke's the Godfather." Chris said.
Luke smiled in agreement.
"Have you told your mom?!" Silena looked at Clarisse.
"Yes... She was happier than expected." Clarisse answered.
"I bet your dad's angry." I said.
"Don't know, don't care." Clarisse shrugged.
"Ah, so I'm speaking to chariot Clarisse." I teased.
"Shut up." She said.
And our truth or dare ended nicely.
(A/N: To answer my guest reader, Percabeth, Pothena, Silena & Charlie, Chris & Clarisse, Travis & Katie, Nico & Zoë, Artemis & Perseus, Aphrodite & Hephaestus, Zeus & Hera, and I sometimes wonder about Grover & Rachel possibilities. You'll notice these themes in some of my stories. Anyway, I'm making more chapters, it'll just be a different game with different people.)
