I'm a Demigod. Oh, Joy!

I was tired, so when I saw camp for the first time it was filled with dancing unicorns and black dots. Annabeth and another guy, I think his name was something Stoll, were having trouble carrying me. I guess they were tired too. But still, I remember being awed by its presence. I felt some weird connection to this place.

Sarah was awake and still having I'm-so-totally-freaked-out disease. They carried me to what they called the 'Big House'. Really, I thought of it as a giant cotton ball (did I mention I get loopy before I go to sleep?). But I was inside of it and thank God, I was sort of awake by then. I saw Mr. Brunner in his wheel chair. Sure enough he didn't have hooves, but why was he here? And why am I here?

"Questions will be answered Penny." Mr. Brunner answered as if he read my mind. Annabeth mouthed 'Good luck!' as I walked into a tunnel and saw a man wearing zebra sweats cussing as he fumbled around with a tape.

Have you ever seen a movie that just plain sucked? Well take that movie, and the orientation movie was 39 times cheesier, and well, more awful than that. I thought I was watching a freakin' puberty video when it first came on.

Hello Demigod! That's right, you're a demigod! My eye twitched, this lady had on a plastic red dress and a 80s afro. It felt like reading in front of the school was more fun than watching her talk about some nonsense. When was this movie made? The 80s? I looked for a way out and saw this guy with eyes in your not so average places. Better to sit down and not offend him or anything.

See, you've heard about Greek Myths right? Well, it turns out that they are real! YAY! And you are related to a Greek God or Goddess! Wow, way to drop a bomb, the rest of the movie was a blur, the only things I caught were that my Greek teacher trained Hercules (again, way to drop a bomb) and his name was Chiron and he was a centaur! (Way to drop a bomb) And that guy in zebra sweats was Dionysus. (You get the idea.) It went on to say how we were heroes and how this place protected us and, well, it was too much. I stumbled up the tunnel after that. Some people were sitting in a circle. I sighed and said, "Think of remaking that orientation movie. It sucked." They laughed at me for saying that.

"We've tired, but now isn't a great time for that." I saw a girl working on her make-up. I rolled my eyes at that. A campfire isn't the best place to apply make-up.

"Why isn't it a good time to remake a movie? Isn't this a summer camp for," I gulped my new found identity wasn't too fitting for me, "Demigods?" They nodded and I continued, "And if this is summer camp, can't we make a new 15 minute movie?" Their faces looked grim. Even the girl applying make-up stopped for a while.

"What?" I asked.

"Kronos's war. No fun this summer." A guy in the back of the room said.

"Never was, doofus." said another boy not that far away.

"Well, Welcome Percy Jackson." Chiron/ Mr. Brunner greeted. I looked at Percy, I felt like I knew him, just somehow I knew him.

"Didn't I talk to you on the phone?" I asked him. He nodded and then his eyes grew wide. Someone screamed and then a HUGE dog pounced on top of me. I screamed then everyone laughed. It was licking me and I was laughing so hard I peed myself (almost anyway).

"Mrs. O'Leary, Penny. Penny Mrs. O'Leary." Percy introduced me to this massive creature. The dog sat down and stuck out a paw for me to shake.

I thought that that was sort of strange, but the polite thing to do was greet. "Nice to meet you too!" I said to the dog. I offered out my hand. I got an ear-pounding bark in reply.

"She likes you." Percy concluded. I nodded. How could it not like me? Just kidding I'm not cocky. But people still seemed to be shocked.

"What, she's a dog. Dogs like people!" I said.

"I once knew this Doberman." a girl wearing a floral headband said. She shuddered at the memory.

"No," Annabeth said, "she only likes some people because she's a Hellhound, a monster." I backed up from the overly-generous saliva-giving dog/hellhound.

"Relax. She's tame." she assured me. That didn't give me much confidence, but I sighed with relief.

And that was the beginning of learning; I still had a whole textbook to go through.

"That's the hellhound?" my friend McKenna was awake (this was a week later and Mrs. O'Leary had come back) and was excited about everything going on around her. Some time ago, she found out that she was a daughter of Demeter and exclaimed, "That's makes lots of sense. Like for out second grade science project, my lima bean grew the quickest." What she didn't understand was that her whole life, she'd been in great danger. Grover said the smell demigods made was stronger for us with us being friends and all. He still can't understand why we weren't found out.

I walked into the Hermes cabin. Everyone smiled at me. I waved at them. Then suddenly remembering all those myths with Hermes, I fingered my pocket where I kept my locket, my Mother's first and last gift to me. They laughed and said, "That's so stereotypical of you! Hermes is a nice guy, and, whoa is that 14 karat gold?" A guy asked me hungrily (who I learned later was Conner Stoll.) Before he could even think about it, I grabbed his arm and said, "I have 4 cousins who wrestle and do martial arts, and they taught me moves. So touch my stuff and then you'll be in the scissors for three weeks. Got it?" They nodded and I said, "My brothers didwrestle, but I won't use you for practice dummies." They all sighed and I turned around jokingly, "Yet."
