Hello! It's AutumnLeaves03! I'm back with more Demigods on Chopped! I'm so glad that you have enjoyed this story and I hope you review!

A shout out to.

BlackShaftedArrow, I'm glad I made you laugh!

TwoLlamas, thanks! I like it when I'm someone's new favorite person!

Once Nico leaves, the show continues.

We only have thirty minutes to cook the food this time and I'm really scared. I just can't be chopped!

John-the announcer dude-starts talking and then he says, "Okay chefs, open up your baskets for the second time!"

Piper, Percy and I open the baskets, but what's inside seems completely impossible to cook with.

"And you will be cooking with… Sour sushi!" John says.

The three of us all pull out the sushi.

"Powdered sour energy drink!" John says energetically. I guess, if you don't have to actually eat the food, it must be entertaining to work on this show.

We all pull out the powdered energy drink- a packet of stuff labeled SOUR! with a picture of a buff dude making a- catch this- sour face. Witty… not.

I'm hopping up and down with ADHD induced panic as John practically screams, "Dandelion leaves!"

We all tip the leaves out onto the tables.

"And an egg roll!" John shouts triumphantly. "You have half an hour to prepare a magnificent meal for the judges! Your time starts… now!"

Scrambling to take the egg roll out, I then put the empty basket where we are supposed to and run to the pantry.

There, I find sugar, grabbing a fistful of that as well as spices, herbs, flour and water: everything I think I might need to make a awesome dish. Team Leo!

Out of the corner of my eyesight, I see Piper take the rest of the sugar and Percy swipes the entire container of salt. Poseidon, god of salty water. Heh. I snicker at my fabulous joke.

I laughing, I dump my stuff on the table and dash back to get more tasty stuff. I'm in it to win it!

I taste a bit of the energy drink and immediately spit it out. They weren't joking when they said it was sour. Then, I get a bowl and put a little of the drink in it, some water, and sugar. Lots of sugar. In fact, my tasters are gonna be as hyperactive as me after this.

I decide to make a taco, one of the only things I'm good at. Remembering a quiet night spent in a cozy little drain a while back, I make a mental list.

Veggies. Check! Tofu… check! The list goes on… and on… hey, I need a lot of stuff for Chef Leo's Special Salsa, right?

I start to dissect the sushi and the egg rolls. Then, quite cheerfully, I throw it all in a bowl and grab a spoon. Mixing time!

When it's combined enough (I hope), I start to prepare my dandelion leaves. That's when the smell hits me. Ohh… sorry.

Piper, however, has a beautiful smell coming from her oven, I see one of the male judges sigh happily and start talking.

I grit my teeth and put on my awesome face.

Then, over to my left, I hear Percy screech.

I turn to find Percy covered in flour and this blue stuff.

He looks just a little mad. (Note sarcasm).

I realize, with a snort, that he accidentally dropped his bowl of food and the flour went everywhere.

I laugh as the judges sigh and shake their heads. The probably think we're all rubbish. Wait till they see my masterpiece…

"TEN MINUTES LEFT!" John yells.

Frantically, I start to finish up my dandelion leaves and grab plates. I put my sauces and other salads in the taco and wrap it up. Shoving a garnish on my plate, my hands fly as I start to make a side.

"FIVE MINUTES LEFT!" John yells.

What? Already?

"SHUT UP!" Percy screams at him.

John blinks and then scowls.

I smile as Percy yelps as John sends him a death glare.

I mix up the potato salad, but there's something missing. Oh, well. I upend the rest of the sugar on it and hope for the best.

"10, 9, 8, 7-" John starts gleefully.

Piper pours some brown stuff on her plate.

"6, 5, 4, 3-" John says.

Percy gives up on his spoon and throws his salad on the plate.

"2, 1! put you hands up and back away!" John says.

Piper and I put our hands up and back away, but Percy is still putting stuff on his plate.

Seven long seconds pass.

Then Percy stands up and backs away, John, who was already mad at Percy, storms over and swipes off the stuff Percy added after the time ran out.

"Follow the rules, Mr. Jackson," he sneers.

"What ever, Peanut Face!" Percy retorts.

John's face screws up in anger and I realize that he actually does look like a peanut, but everything continues smoothly (ish).

"First we have Chef Leo!" John smiles.

I step forwards and grin maniacally at the judges.

"I made for you today, tacos with potato salad and a side on water!" I bow and grin. Then I think, damn, you don't have any water! so I add "Sorry, my mistake, no water!" I laugh nervously.

They all taste the food and smile.

"It's good, but a little, well, odd" one judge says.

"Yah, it's definitely weird" another judge says.

"Well, I'm sorry about that!" I mutter.

"Next is Chef Piper!" John says.

Piper steps up, smiling with all her Aphrodite charm.

"I made for you a delicious salad with mashed potatoes and-" Piper keeps talking, but I don't listen.

"It's lovely!" the judges say.

"Why thank you! It's just so good!" Piper smiles.

I find myself nodding and agreeing, yes, it is so good.

Stop it Valdez! she's using charmspeak!

I frown and huff. Cheater!

Then John moves on to Percy.

"And Chef Jackson" He growls.

I realize that he used Percy's last name.

"I made a-" Percy is talking, but I don't listen again.

My eyes are watching the judges, they all have this face like, well… the face was just odd.

"It's, it's!" one gasps

"It's so salty!" one whimpers.

They all spit it out.

Percy's eyes widen.

"I MIXED UP THE SUGAR WITH SALT! NOOOOOOO!" Percy yells.

He is trying to act sad and upset, but I can tell, and Piper too, that Percy might have done that just to get eliminated from Chopped. That way he could be in the waiting room and eat cookies with Nico.

"Well judges, you now need to choose who will be chopped, chefs, please leave the room." John says.

With a wave of a hand from a employee, we all line up and leave the room.

Once in the chef waiting room Percy and Piper slump on the table.

"I hate this," Percy says.

"Be quite! we can talk in Ancient Greek!" Piper exclaims.

"Okay," Percy says in relief.

"Fine with me!" I smile.

"I hope I get chopped!" Percy says.

"Why? this place is awesome!" I yell.

"I dunno," Percy says while smiling.

"Come back in!" a voice says.

We all get up and march back into the room

Once there we line up and face the judges.

"And the chef that will be chopped is…" John says.

Percy holds his breath, Piper crosses her fingers. I close my eyes, praying hard.

John lifts the lid.

The dish is…

Percy's.

Percy shakes the judges hands and glares at John, he then leaves the room singing in Greek.

Yes, I got chopped! Lalalala! that place was more horrible then Tartarus!" he sings.

I frown, that's coming from Percy, who actually fell into Tartarus…

Piper and I get into position. She's smiling. I'm worried.
