Percys' POV
We all stood, waiting to be told what the challenge was. I'm not sure what normal challenges were like with this guy, but if they were entertaining to the Stolls, they couldn't be good.
Chris said "The first challenge will only involve four people. Two from each team. Each team must choose one person to try and scare somebody from the other team. You must also pick one person to be scared by someone from the other team. Whoever scares the other teams' person the most wins. Whatever team loses will have to vote someone off."
I looked over at the other team and heard Thalia say "Well, Nico is good at freaking people out. No offense. I say he does the scaring."
I gulped. I didn't envy whatever poor sucker had to be scared by Nico.
"Well, Percy is really brave. I say he goes."
Of course, why did I expect anything different? Annabeth turned to me.
"That okay with you Seaweed Brain?"
I nodded. It looked like the other team had picked Thalia to be scared. Okay, all we had to do was use her fear of heights to win. I figured Annabeth might know about it and was going to ask her to do it, but then Drew spoke up.
"I'll do the scaring!"
Clarisse snorted "You? Yeah right!"
"Just because you can't be tough and good looking at the same time doesn't mean I can't"
After we restrained Clarisse from killing Drew, Chris said "One more thing. Apollo liked season three. More specifically, he liked when I made the kids sing in every episode. So as a special treat for him, I'm going to make one of you sing today."
Nico groaned. "Oh come on! Singing sucks!"
"Well I'm glad you think that. It makes the fact that you're the one who's going to sing even funnier."
We all laughed as Nico groaned.
"And you have to sing while you scare Percy. Okay kids, you have ten minutes to think of something to do."
When the ten minutes were up, I felt nervous. Nico was one of the few people that scared me even a little bit. I was not looking forward to what he would do to scare me.
"Alright. Nico scares Percy first. Everyone can watch, but no talking or interfering."
Chris lead us to a large building. Inside, Nico was sitting at a table. I sat down across from him and tried to sound confident. "Okay squirt, what are you gonna do?" He frowned and started singing.
Nico: Don't you disrespect me little man
Don't you derogate or deride
You're in my world now, not your world
And I've got friends on the other side
Voices:(He's got friends on the other side)
I frowned. "Um, what were those voices?
Nico: That's an echo,just a little something we have here, a little parlor trick. Don't worry. Sit down at my table
Put your mind at ease
If you relax it will enable me to do anything I please
I can read your future
I can change it 'round some too
I look deep into your heart and soul
You do have a soul, don't you?
Make your wildest dreams come true
I got voodoo, I got hoodoo, I got things I ain't even tried
And I've got friends on the other side
Voices: (He's got friends on the other side)
The voices were starting to creep me out a lot.
Nico : The cards, the cards, the cards will tell Now you young man are from the sea
The past, the present, and the future as well
The cards, the cards, just take three
Take a little trip into your future with me
You come from a line of royalty
I'm a royal myself on my father's side
Your lifestyle's not high
And your funds are low
You need to win this little contest to get the dough
Okay, he was starting to annoy me. Why wasn't he trying to scare me? He was only confusing me and creeping me out.
Nico: Wanna help your mom out, huh fishboy? It's the green, it's the green, it's the green you need On you little man I don't wanna waste much time
You might never get rich
But poorness ties you down
You just wanna be free; hop from place to place
But freedom takes green
And when I look into the future it's the green that I see
You've been through a lot all your life
You've been through a lot with your mother, with your girlfriend, and your brother
And if you was married, you'd go through a lot with your wife
But in your future the you I see
Is exactly the man you always wanted to be
I gave an irritated sigh. "Nico, can you cut the fortune teller crap and just try to scare me?"
He smirked. "Okay, but first."
Nico :Shake my hand, c'mon boy, won't you shake a poor sinner's hand?
I sighed and shook his hand. "Now let's just get on with it."
He gave me an evil smile "Okay Percy. Enjoy." He snapped his fingers. Skeletons, ghosts, and other creatures from the underworld surrounded me. They all looked hideous and terrifying. But, I had seen worse so I wasn't really phased by it. Then, he snapped his fingers again and I saw terrifying memories from several of my adventures. And, honestly, I was starting to get scared. Then Nico smirked and said. "Hey Percy, wanna be your "true self" again?"
I yelled in terror "No!" Are you ready?
Nico: Yes!
Voices: (Are you ready?)
Nico: Are you ready?
Voices: (Are you ready?)
Nico: Transformation central.
Voices: (Transformation central.)
Nico: Transformation central.
Voices: (Transformation central.)
Nico: Transmogrification central.
Can you feel it?
I was shrinking, whiskers began growing on my face.
Nico: You're changing, you're changing, you're changing all right
I hope you're satisfied
But if you ain't don't blame me
You can blame my friends on the other side
(You got what you wanted, what you want's what you get)
I looked in a mirror in the room. I was a freaking Guinea pig again! I started tried to talk, but just kept making Guinea pig noises.
Nico: HUSH!
Chris laughed. "Well, I'd say he's scared. Good work Nico. Now can you get rid of the skeletons? They're stinking the place up."
Nico snapped his fingers and all the undead disappeared. Annabeth ran over and fed me a vitamin, turning me back to normal. I was shaking and must have looked pretty scared. Annabeth grabbed me and kissed me, and I stopped shaking.
"You okay, Percy?"
"I'm fine, thanks. I really hope Drew thought of something good to scare Thalia."
Thalia and Drew both sat down at the table.
"Okay Thalia, to scare you, I will show you the scariest, ugliest, most disgusting creature ever."
Thalia actually looked slightly nervous, which I took as a good sign. "What is it?"
Drew turned and pointed at…Tyson?
Tyson looked confused for a second, then I think he understood because he started to cry. I looked back over at Drew and was going to go beat the living crap out of her; but I saw Thalia had beat me to it. Drew was lying on the ground, smoking. Thalia was still pointing at her, a look of rage on her face.
Chris laughed. "Looks like all Drew managed to do was piss her off and nearly make me die of laughter. I freaking love this show! Anyway, the roaring hydras lose. That means you're going to vote someone off."
A few hours later, we were sitting around a campfire. I was nervous. Annabeth said Drew should be voted off since she cost us the game, but I had been scared out of my wits. I cost us the game too. I looked up at Chris, who was holding a plate of marshmallows.
"This is the campfire ceremony. These are marshmallows. There are seven marshmallows, and eight of you. When I call your name, you will come up and get one. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must walk the dock of shame, and take the boat of losers out of here. And you can't come back. Ever. The first marshmallow goes to Annabeth."
Annabeth stood up, took a marshmallow, and sat down next to me, smiling.
"Six marshmallows left. The next one goes to Tyson."
I smiled gladly. He had a bad enough day already, voting him off would have only made it worse.
"Clarisse, Chris, Katie, Connor."
They all took their marshmallows and sat down. That left just me and Drew.
"And the final Marshmallow of the night goes to…."
He held a silence for like half a minute. The suspense was killing me!
"Percy."
I got up and took the last marshmallow before sitting down next to Annabeth, who kissed me on the cheek.
Drew looked completely stunned. "What? How could you idiots vote me off?"
Chris pointed to the dock. "Boat of losers is waiting Drew."
"Fine! Have fun without me losers!"
Tyson, ever the nice one, was the only one to say. "Bye Drew! I will miss you!"
"Ew! I'm really glad I won't be around you any more, you freak!"
Tyson started to cry. I felt a tug in my gut, and a huge wave swept Drew onto the boat.
She got up and spit out water. Everyone started to laugh. The boat drove off, with Drew shouting some rather vulgar things from it.
We all turned and walked off to our cabins. Chris was saying something to the cameras behind us.
"Our first challenge is over, and our first camper has been sent home. What will the next challenge be? Will there be more singing? Will the footage of Percy as a guinea pig end up on Youtube? Find out next time on Total Drama Demigods!"
Okay, so what did everyone think? Any good? Suggestions? Do you guys think I should make this like world tour with singing in every episode? Should I keep writing in first person? Any ideas for challenges? Please review.
