I'm back…again. Well, I got more reviews last chapter, much to my utter surprise, and I have to say this story is doing pretty well. I've been occupying my time, lately, with art and was about to not update, but I figured I'd have time for both. Tomorrow I have to attend the cremation of a close family friend, although you guys probably don't care. Also, next chapter I'm going to put up a link to my first work of fanart for PJO. If anybody has a DevArt account, please stop by and comment. Now, for thanks to my reviewers for last chapter and the first chapter that came in today:

dobbinx: Thanks for reviewing! I know, a bit random, but that's partially the point, other than to entertain my dear readers. I guess you could say, the plot rotates around who wrote the list of activities, which will be revealed at the VERY end of my story.

.Brown.eyes.and.bushy.tales: Yes, though Hermes cabin has brainwashed Chiron into thinking it's fair. Poor Percy indeed.

iluvpjo: Thank you! I'm glad my story has entertained you!

GreekGeek7: I'll think about that idea, thanks for contributing! Maybe I'll have it somewhere in the story. I'll be sure to keep that in mind, alright?

lildm30: I'm sure he did, I'm sure he did. But you have to think: Poor Malcom, he didn't even know what hit him.

Honest101: Thanks for another review! Oh, and thanks for the advice as well! I'll try and keep that in mind when doing my periods. I've always wondered why it didn't seem right, so thanks for telling me!

silverkrystal11: Scared? Of what? It's good you find it funny!

rawrtastic: Thanks for reviewing, I truly appreciate it! I know, I overlook plenty of mistakes in my story, but that's probably because I only write late at night. I always seem to write better when I'm high on something. But you're right, nobody's perfect, but I'm sure you'll overlook most of the mistakes the first time reading.

bubblegum11: Cool! You enjoy my story, which is great! I hope you stick around to see my story continue!

sistergrimm2: Yep, Luke sure got kicked pretty hard. Percy takes no offense at that, he won anyway XD!

moonray9: A bit straight forward aren't we? Then I will gladly continue.

That's everybody so far! My final words before beginning this chapter would be: All of you reviewers, flamers, criticizers, and so forth are awesome! I'm grateful that all of you are taking the time to read my story, though it isn't even close to the best. I'm truly grateful to you guys!



It was another beautiful morning in Camp Half Blood, like always. Percy was snoring peacefully in his bed when suddenly, Mr. D's loud and ungrateful voice blasted over the intercom, shaking Percy in his bed.

"Ahem! Brats! Wake your lazy selves up and go to the Big House, NOW!" The intercom screeched and clicked off and Percy promptly fell out of bed, his head landing onto the hardwood floor first.

"Ugh…" was all Percy could mutter as he trudged himself out of bed to change. He pulled on his simple attire of a clean white shirt and a pair of wrinkly jeans that extended past his ankles and nearly sank to the ground. He slowly made his way to the Big House and sat down at his empty table. Chiron was at the podium with a grumpy Dionysus at his side. Chiron seemed chipper that morning, too chipper for a normal human being at about 5 A.M. in the morning. That was considering the fact that he was a centaur.

"Hello and good morning campers! I have an important announcement to make. I know that today, we planned for water polo, but we'll have to postpone that for tomorrow because the Fox News Network has invited us to star in their game shows "Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader" and "The Moment of Truth". We won't be on television, but they're challenging our camp, so we've accepted the challenge. This is something we cannot possibly pass up, so I want everybody to pile up in our bus so we can drive to the Fox Station. The bus ride will be rather long, but we need to arrive like a normal camp so they don't find anything too suspicious. To anybody who can get a hold of a Pegasus or some Pegasi will be allowed to use them as a means of transportation, but that means whoever arrives too early will have to wait for everybody else. Now run along everyone, we need to get there before the offer expires." Chiron clopped away as everybody piled out of the Big House. Percy met up with Annabeth and Grover and spoke with them about the activities.

"So we're NOT playing polo today?" Percy asked dumbly.

"No, Seaweed Brain. Now call BlackJack and his friends so we can get to the Fox Station." Percy whistled loudly five times and BlackJack came fluttering down from the sky. He glided onto the dirt with amazing grace and bowed at Percy's feet.

"Hey Boss! How's it been? Been surviving okay?" BlackJack questioned as Percy just smiled and nodded.

"BlackJack, I need you to call Guido and Porkpie. We need a lift to the Fox Network Station." BlackJack just nodded and called to his two Pegasi friends. The two came fluttering down, arguing something about grazing and the best ways to enjoy a good meal.

"Guido, Porkpie! I need you guys to lift Annabeth and Grover to the Fox Network Station," Percy told the two newcomers, who nodded and whinnied.

"I call Annabeth!" Guido called and Porkpie muttered some Greek curses. Percy and BlackJack just rolled their eyes as the three mounted their Pegasi. The three took off with three flaps of their 

mighty bird-like wings as they soared through the sky with great valor. BlackJack did a few loops and swirls in the air until a full blown competition between the Pegasi broke out. They were determined to see who could do the best tricks. After much competing, they finally got tired, but not tired enough to not argue.

"I'm the best! After all, I AM the leader of this group!" BlackJack boasted arrogantly as the other two shot him glares.

"What're you talking about? I'M the best! And whoever said you were the leader?" Porkpie shot back as the two went into all out glaring mode.

"You're both wrong! I'M the best there is! And I'M the leader!" Guido broke in as they all threw insults back and forth. Eventually, they got thrown way off topic and they weren't even sure what they were arguing about in the first place.

"No! Blue Cheese is sooo much better than Fettucini! You've got no sense in taste!" Porkpie complained to the others. Percy threw his hands up in frustration.

"Porkpie, Fettucini isn't even a type of cheese! It's a type of pasta for pete's sake!" Percy pointed out, which got him weird looks all around.

"Percy, where did that come from? We were talking about our plans for after summer and all of a sudden you yell out something out Fettucini and cheese," Grover said, which caused Percy to look their way for the first time.

"No, I was talking to BlackJack, Porkpie, and Guido. They were talking about Blue Cheese tasting better than Fettucini, and I said Fettucini isn't a type of cheese," Percy explained. Annabeth and Grover began to understand a bit, yet they were still confused as to why the Pegasi were even talking about food in the first place.

"You know, I don't even remember why we were arguing in the first place," BlackJack realized as the other two Pegasi looked at him. They shrugged before the silence overtook them once again.

"Hey! Look guys, it's the station!" Grover shouted as everybody looked towards the direction he was pointing. Soon, the building was in sight and in reach. Within a few minutes, the Pegasi had landed with a large puff of dust as they demounted their riders. The three flying horses bid farewell to the three campers as they flew off with a mighty flap of their wings. The three stood at the front door of the station building, awaiting the arrival of the bus. After about three hours of standing and doing nothing, the bus arrived with a loud, rusty screech. The campers all piled out of the bus excitedly and rushed through the door to the station building, Chiron following suit in his wheelchair. The bus pulled away with a loud screech and a large puff of poisonous gases, leaving the students at the studio for the rest of the day. Chiron had realized that they'd be stuck out in the studio for a few days, so he postponed the water polo game until they got back. As the students wandered the studio, looking at all of the set equipment and such, Chiron was talking to the executives of the Fox Station. They agreed with gusto to 

allow Chiron to be the host of both game shows, to relieve some stress from the other hosts. After an agreement, Chiron clapped his hands to get the attention of the students.

"Alright campers, we'll start off with "Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader". Of course, we'll be altering the course of the game and changing it so that it will be "Are you Smarter than a Demigod", which is what we'll be playing from now on. Our first contestant will be Percy Jackson! Just know that your God parent will be watching you. No pressure, of course," Chiron said, a little to giddily.

"Oh yeah, no pressure at all," Percy said sarcastically to himself as he trudged up to the podium where he stood. Where the student helpers should have been, there was Silena, Clarisse, Charles, Grover, and Luke. Annabeth had been excluded because she was too smart.

"Alright Percy, I'm sure you know the rules to this came, the cheats and what you've got to say at the end of the show when you lose. Pick a partner for the first two questions." Percy glanced across the very uneager faces of the "classmates" and was wondering who to pick.

"I pick…Grover." Grover walked over to the podium and waited for Percy to pick a subject. "Um…how about Greek Myths."

"Which one?" Chiron asked as he pointed at the board. True to his words, every single choice said "Greek Myths" on it, but they had another label next to them. Percy considered each one and decided on taking the one he felt he could get.

"Uh…the one for idiots." The choice disappeared as the question appeared on the screen. The question stated:

In Greek mythology, which god turned Arachne into a spider?

"Athena," Percy answered quickly. As like almost every show, the crowd began to cheer for no reason at all as Chiron stared at Percy, his gaze hardened.

"…Is that your final answer?" Everybody stared at Chiron. Percy blinked. Then blinked again.

"Uh…yes?" Percy said uneasily. Chiron's face went back to being calm as he pulled out a card. Though for no apparent reason because he ended up throwing the card aside anyway.

"Percy Jackson, you have just won one thousand dollars!" The crowd broke into cheers as the question was taken off of the board. Percy smiled widely, almost cheering for himself.

"Really?!" He ventured, wondering if he really won one thousand dollars.

"No. I just said that because the show wouldn't be interesting if I didn't."

"Oh." Percy was a bit disappointed that he didn't win anything, but it would prove him somewhat smart in some way. Percy turned his attention back onto the board, scanning it with great observation. He "hmmm"d several times and finally decided on something.



"I'll go with Greek Myths for gods," Percy ventured as everybody "ooh"d and "aah"d at his bravery. Chiron was a bit taken aback for a bit before opening up his card to reveal the question.

"Which Greek Hero was exiled because of a murder he committed?" Chiron read as Percy tried thinking of all the heroes he knew. Perseus, Hercules, Odysseus, Jason, Theseus…neither one of them had ever committed a murder as far as he knew.

"Uh…," was all Percy could mutter, which caused Chiron to catch the fact that Percy needed help on this one.

"Percy, you may have one clue. I will tell you this clue now, but that means you cannot get help from Grover other than to save you. Will you take the clue?" Chiron asked as Percy nodded. "The clue is: This hero was born in Corinth and was going to be purified by King Proetus of Tiryns until his wife, Stheneboea, tried to flirt with this hero." Now Percy was really stumped. He didn't know of any hero like that. Then, a thought struck him. From the depths of his brain, he shot out an answer.

"Bellerophon!" Percy suddenly blurted, which got him odd looks from everybody. They knew the answer, but they found it weird that he would just shout his answer out.

"Is that your final answer, Percy Jackson?" Chiron said in a very menacing way, which sent shivers down the boy's back. He just feebly nodded, unable to speak. Chiron's dark face became bright again. "You are correct! The right answer is Bellerophon." Percy could hardly believe that he got it. He silently cheered to himself as the game continued. He observed the board again, searching for the right topic level to pick.

"I'll for Greek Myths for Heroes this time."

"Very well. The question is: What is the Roman name for Ares?" This one stumped Percy. He never really studied Roman history, but he was sure it started with an "M". How did he know this? Even he didn't know. He knew only of two planets that started with "M", considering the fact that he thought all the Roman god names were planet names. He was sure Ares wouldn't be named Mercury, so he tried Mars.

"I'll go with Mars." Chiron played the "Final Answer" music again.

"Is that your final answer?" Then, Chiron felt a tomato behind his head as it squished into his hair, leaving red splotches everywhere.

"Get off the stage!" Someone screamed from the audience as everybody agreed.

"Fine! I'll stop with the 'final answer' thing. I've just always wanted to say that. Anyway, you are correct, the answer is Mars. You're actually doing pretty well, Percy. I'm quite pleased," Chiron said as he smiled a heartwarming smile. Percy somehow felt guilty at the fact that he only got them right because he guessed. Of course, he wasn't about to tell Chiron that.

"I think this time I'll go with—"



"AHEM!" coughed a very angry voice. Everybody looked over at Grover, who was impatiently tapping his hoof on the linoleum floors. "I think you're forgetting something."

"What's that?" Percy asked stupidly. Grover nearly had the feeling to strangle Percy. He pointed to himself. After a few minutes of the rat turning in Percy's brain, he finally got it. "Oh."

"Well, Grover, you are dismissed, as well as the rest of you over there. I guess Percy won't be needing help," Chiron directed, which got him relieved sighs from the sideline players. Percy stared at the board once more, scanning it once again. He had already done three questions out of ten. He wasn't doing too well.

"I'll go for the other Greek Myths for idiots."

"The question is: Who is the Lord of the Undead and the Underworld?"

"Hades, for sure."

"That is…correct!" The game continued until Percy managed to reach the final question for Gods. He had already managed to stumble his way to the final two questions, so why not go on? He listened intently at the question Chiron was asking him.

"The final question before the million dollar question is: Explain how the Minotaur came to be, include all specific names." Now Percy knew he was doomed. He wasn't good with names, he was sure many people weren't. He bit his nails and began thinking. Pasiphae was a name in that myth, and so was Poseidon. Since this was a Poseidon kind of question, he knew much of what happened. Then he remembered the final name: King Minos! Suddenly, that burst of knowledge reached Percy and his answer just blurted out, though he couldn't stop himself mid-speech.

"Poseidon sent a bull form the sea to King Minos because the king promised to sacrifice it, but the king could not sacrifice it, so Poseidon called upon Aphrodite to make the king's wife, Pasiphae, fall in love with the bull, which created the Minotaur." Everybody cheered while others were shocked at his sudden burst of knowledge. Chiron was quite surprised with his pupil as well, though it didn't show through his smile.

"That is absolutely correct! You are now at the million dollar question! How do you feel?"

"I feel…funny. Not ha-ha funny, weird funny. I'm sure it's nothing though, continue to the last question," Percy suggested as the million dollar question blinked onto the board.

"Your final question that will win you a fake million dollars is this: Which Hero did Athena help in defeating Medusa?"

"To be completely honest, I've got no idea," Percy said. Everybody just looked at him, which pressured him even more. He was really stumped on this one. He thought about it for about thirty minutes before deciding that he didn't know.



"Can I give up?" Percy asked, which Chiron nodded to. "Then I give up." The crowd clapped and cheered loudly as Percy stood there.

"Thank you for playing! Would you like to hear the answer to the question?" Chiron offered, to which Percy nodded quickly. "Percy, the answer would have been Perseus, your namesake. How ever in the world you didn't get that is beyond me, but that's the answer. That question was actually very easy, Percy. How could you miss it?"

"Uh…I don't really know. I didn't know Athena helped my namesake. How odd." Percy continued to wonder at this strange phenomenon as he stepped off the stage. The nonexistent camera zoomed in on Chiron's face as he stared directly into the camera.

"Since Percy Jackson has walked away, I will say it for him: He is not smarter than a Demigod. Also, thank you for watching! Be sure to do your homework before arriving on today's show!" The crowd cheered loudly as the show came to a close. The screen faded black as the cheering stopped.

CLICK!

"That was horrible! What kind of show is that?!" The manager of Fox shouted at Chiron, who was trying not to get any of the manager's spit on his face.

"It was only a suggestion, Mr. Duwell," Chiron tried, but Mr. Duwell would have nothing of it.

"I want nothing of it! You told me you would make a sure shot show! And I expected to see results! You gave me a load of trash! Your moment on "The Moment of Truth" better be worth it or you'll be straight out of the studio faster than you can say 'Kick'! Do you hear me?!"

"Loud and clear," Chiron muttered as Mr. Duwell walked away. Chiron sighed as he clopped out to meet the campers. Once he had greeted the campers, he delivered the news.

"The manager of the Fox Network would like us to move on to "The Moment of Truth" right now and wants our show to be more exciting. We've decided on not continuing the "Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader", so only Percy got to play."

"Oh, Lucky me…," Percy mumbled sarcastically.

"So tomorrow, our first contestant on "The Moment of Truth" will be…"

Pure randomness, I know. I got this idea from watching television though, so don't blame me! My back is aching right now and my neck is too, so I need to stop laying down, otherwise my back is going to grow all crooked and whatnot. Also, the answers to the questions are all true. The information was proved true by several online resources. Hopefully, you've all learned something new about Greek Mythology today!
