A/N Chapter 3. Yay! Poll on our profile=check it out!

Everyone stood there, shocked. All wondering if they were having a nightmare. "Uh oh." Leo whispered. The Stoll twins nodded.

This was definitely unexpected. Travis felt a nudge by his side. Nico was gesturing to Annabeth, who looked like she was about to explode with anger any moment. Cautiously, they backed away, not wanting to be on the receiving end of the girl's wrath. Annabeth tapped Percy's shoulder.

"I get that you're excited, but...we're kind of just...sitting here." Percy ignored her. Annabeth turned to the Stoll twins and yelled at them. "WHAT DID YOU DO THIS TIME! I KNOW YOU SPIKED HIS FOOD WITH SOMETHING! " Her eyes gleaming menacingly, she took a step closer to them.

Their eyes widening, Connor and Travis fled the furious teenager who was right on their heels. Annabeth grabbed the back of their shirts at the same time, and the Stolls stopped.

"Uh...we kinda-maybe-sorta-probably put sugar in it." said Travis.

"Not to mention the potion that makes you feel like an idiot." continued Connor.

"And...the effects only work 5 minutes after you finish eating completely... And that would be now." Travis added. The Stolls were practically choking from Annabeth's grip.

"Okay, we established the fact that he was stupid a long time ago. But how do you CURE him so he will pay attention to us?" The Stolls glanced at each other nervously.

"There isn't really a cu-

"WHAT?"

"Wait Annab-

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ISN'T A CURE?! IS HE GOING TO STAY LIKE THIS FOREVER?! HOW COULD YOU-"

"Annabeth!" Travis and Connor screamed.

"Let us explain." said Connor.

"The potion will hopeful-

"Hopeful?"

"Probab-"

"PROBABLY?"

"WILL! Wear off soon." Travis held his breath.

"Ahhh... okay. Don't scare me again. Don't you dare."

Both Connor and Travis were so shaken up they nodded like Annabeth was a bully and they were little kids. Percy was now muttering nonsense to himself.

"Cows jump over the moon. The moon is made of cheese. Cheese has milk in it! Milk comes from cows! That makes sense!" At that, Annabeth looked around the cabin. The only people left were Grover, Nico, Thalia (the Hunters gave her a day off), Juniper, Leo, Piper, Jason, and the Stolls. What a large crowd...She thought.

"So, while we are waiting for the A-hem... Stolls' potion to wear off...a-hem..."

"Sorry..."

"We should just talk about stuff."

Percy was now walking around the room examining things and saying random things.

"This is a water fountain. I think it shoots water from this place." He pressed the button. "Water is cold."

Everyone rolled their eyes.

"How has your day been, Jason?" Piper asked.

"I didn't really do much today. Besides tell Chiron and Mr. D about stuff."

"Where are they?"

Leo spoke up. "They went to some kind of meeting at lunchtime. So they won't be here until at least 11."

Percy walked up to them. They looked at him.

"I think...whatever was in my food...is going away. I can think clearly...And I remember...people walking into my cabin..." Percy absentmindedly stared at the window. His face lit up.

"Is that...Paul? And my mom?!"

Sally had indeed seen Percy. She and Paul ran to the Poseidon cabin. As soon as she walked in, Percy pretty much tackled her.

"Mom!"

"Happy Birthday, Percy."

"Who let you in? And do I have any more surprises to look forward to?"

"We let her in earlier today. As for the gifts...besides the ones on your bed that you haven't opened, maybe." Annabeth told him.

Percy had just noticed his bed. His eyes grew wide in excitement. It's not everyday you get about 50 presents from a camp you go to.

"We brought a present for you too." Paul said. He handed Percy a pair of keys. Percy had to force himself not to run out of the room and look at his brand new car. You heard me. The hero was 17, mind you.

Just then, the blue greek fire burned out. That was literally impossible, but it happened. Lou Ellen stuck her head in the door.

"Oops. I'm getting carried away. Sorry, Percy." she waved her hand and the fire was ignited again.

"What were you doing, messing with my lights?"

"That." She pointed at the ceiling. It was now covered with disco lights. The room had also somehow gotten bigger. The campers began to file in again.

"Percy, it's time for your real birthday to begin." Annabeth smiled as he ripped open his presents.

A/N Well that was interesting. :D
