WHOA...IT'S BEEN FOREVER SINCE I LAST UPDATED THIS STORY. I guess now that the Heroes of Olympus series are done, it'd be nice to see what all the characters have been up to. SO...I CAME UP WITH THIS SHORT (short) INTERVIEW :D
I'll try to update as often as I can! I also started a new short story series that takes place after the whole giant war. Please be sure to check that out! If you like it, please be sure to follow! I have a lot of ideas planned for the future.
Anyways, enjoy...
The Gleeson Hedge Show - Episode 3
*Walks on stage*
Gleeson Hedge: Hello and welcome to another episode of…THE GLEESON HE- wait a second…where is everyone? THERE'S NO AUDIENCE!
*Looks into a theater with empty seats*
Assistant: Coach, listen…it's been like a year since you last made an episode and well…
Gleeson Hedge: OH I'M SORRY, AS IF SAVING THE WORLD WASN'T ENOUGH? IT WAS A SEASON BREAK
Assistant: After only 2 episodes?
Gleeson Hedge: So no one came?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE; MY SHOW'S RATING WHERE OFF THE CHART. WE EVEN BEAT HEPHAESTUS'S STUPID TV SHOW!
Assistant: But-
Gleeson Hedge: Our viewers were in the million…maybe even billions…
Assistant: Actually it was more like…five
Gleeson Hedge: Fine whatever! Just add in a fake laugh track…AND WHERE'S MY BASEBALL BAT?
Assistant: I think the show has to be at least a little funny for us to do that
Gleeson Hedge: At least tell me we have a guest for tonight's show…
Assistant: Oh don't worry about that…just read the script
*Coach Hedge walks over and takes a seat on his desk*
Gleeson Hedge: Hello and welcome to another episode of the GLEESON HEDGE SHOW, where we have awesome interviews with not so awesome demigods about their experiences. Our guest for today is the amazingly remarkable, gorgeous, charming, delightful, lovely…wait who wrote this?
Assistant: We didn't really have any writers so we just let the guests write their own introduction
Gleeson Hedge: I swear on all the gods, I am about to judo kick you to bits right now IF YOU DON'T FIND ME A WRITER.
Assistant: Can you just start the show already?! I bet anyone reading this is bored out of their minds and *looks into the camera*, won't leave a nice review.
Gleeson Hedge: FINE, Percy, get your butt over here…again…for the second time…because no one else will come to this show that is remotely cool like me.
*Percy walks on stage, eating a blue muffin*
Gleeson Hedge: Everyone, please welcome Percy Jackson; he is a moron-er-demigod, the son of Poseidon, and a hero of Olympus. Take a seat Percy, wat-ar you waiting for…
Percy: Are you going to be saying stupid puns this entire interview? At least try to make this show interesting.
Gleeson Hedge: STUPID PUNS? I guess you could say…that was out of the blue.
Percy: No really stop…
Gleeson Hedge: Okay, fine! You can be so annoying sometimes Percy, I have no idea how that Annabeth can stand you. Anyways, first question: What was it like being aboard the Argo II?
Percy: Looking back at the whole experience, I guess you could say it was great. Especially having all of my frien-
Gleeson Hedge: That's boring…NEXT QUESTION. What are you currently doing, now that the giant war is over?
Percy: Well right now I-
Gleeson Hedge: Spending all day with Annabeth?
Percy: Well uh…
Gleeson Hedge: Taking her out for walks after curfew?
Percy: Hey listen you goat!
Gleeson Hedge: Or are you constantly picking fights with her, even though you know you're going to lose
Percy: Why don't you ever let me talk!
Gleeson Hedge: So what's this I hear, about your plans for the two of you in New Rome, after school?
Percy: Who told you that!?
Gleeson Hedge: I have my sources…
Percy: Yeah so we might settle down in New Rome for a while, go to college there, you know…unless we're fighting monsters again
Gleeson Hedge: I hear that you just have one more year left in High school! How are you're grades doing?
Percy: Yeah, uh, I'll pass on that one
Gleeson Hedge: Fair enough, that question is probably the only thing you can pass. OOOOOOHHH
*Water pipes above break, filling the room with water, as Coach Hedge jumps on top of his desk*
Gleeson Hedge: DON'T EVEN TRY PERCY; THERE'S NO AMOUNT OF WATER CAN'T PUT OUT THAT BURN.
*Coach looks at Percy*
Gleeson Hedge: KIDDING…UH…HOLY ZEUS PERCY, YOU NEED TO LEARN TO TAKE A JOKE. MAYBE YOU SHOULD WATCH SOME CHUCK NORRIS MOVIES AND UH…
Percy: Listen Coach…if you have some real questions for me, now would be the time to ask, or else I'm leaving
Gleeson Hedge *mutters to himself*: Oh why did the gods have so many insufferable little demigod monsters…
*Thunder roars above*
Gleeson Hedge: Okay, okay, actual question…this is serious…What do you value the most in life?
Percy: Well, uh, I guess all of my friends and family are probably my number one priority, especially my mom and Annabeth. My mom has done so much just to make sure I have a decent life, even if it meant sacrificing her own. And well Annabeth…we've literally been through hell and back together. And I think that only made us stronger. The worst is behind us now…and there's nowhere to go but up.
Gleeson Hedge: And of course you're just saying that so that she doesn't beat you up
*Percy looks panicked*
Percy: NO…I SWEAR….UH…
Gleeson Hedge: I bet she's backstage right now, and told you to say that
Percy: NO! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING…I LOVE ANNAB-
Gleeson Hedge: FINE. Next question: Aside from the obvious…who do you like the least? Or in other words, is there anyone you just can't stand?
Percy: So aside from you? Uh…I'm not really sure actually. When I started out at camp, I realised that no matter what, some people just won't like you or want to be friends with you. After that, you just kind of don't care anymore. I don't have any true enemies left that are demigods or not monsters. Now that the two sides are united, we have people like my good friend Jason who travel back and forth between the camps, kind of like an ambassador. Together, we're building shrines and cabins for minor gods and goddesses
Gleeson Hedge: Would you want a movie based off your experiences as a demigod?
Percy: Yeah, I'm not too sure about that one. It would be too long and would probably suck…
Gleeson Hedge: Just like everything else about you sucks! The movie would fit right into your life! They should make a martial arts movie about me! Now that's something people would want to see…
Percy: Next question p.l.e.a.s.e.
Gleeson Hedge: Okay so, 50 years into the future, what are you doing and why? …Assuming you're not dead.
Percy: I still wouldn't want to lose touch with Olympus, and I don't even think I could if I tried. The gods constantly need us! Sometimes, Hermes loses his staff, or sometimes Gaea wakes up and tries to take over the world. The usual…anyways, uh, we demigods don't really get to hope for the future, but now that you ask, I just picture a nice quiet life with Annabeth…away from monsters, and away from the entire "death" and "prophecy" thing.
Gleeson Hedge: My god, you just can't stop talking about her. I feel like I need to throw up… I should have gotten Jason for an interview. He's so much better and doesn't manage to tick everyone off.
Percy: Hey, Jason and I are actually pretty cool together. We're like bros… You can't say one is better than the other, because when you work as a team, everyone contributes equally.
Gleeson Hedge: Yeah? It wasn't really like that in the Blood of Olympus…
Percy: Shut up.
*More water pipes burst*
Gleeson Hedge: Okay…I'll stop. Next question: Pretty much every war that took place was due to the fact that the gods ignored the giants, demigods, minor gods and old 'allies'. So why did you and Annabeth help Olympus, even though they…well they kind of brought all that "suffering and destruction" onto themselves?
*Lightning strikes the top of the building*
Percy: Man they really hate you up there
Gleeson Hedge: I know it's a stupid question, but did you two ever find yourselves questioning the decisions to support the gods?
Percy: Yeah, of course we did. We saw where these abandoned demigods were coming from. They didn't feel respected from their parents. Actually, I hardly ever see my godly parent, Poseidon. But I guess they make up for it eventually. We realised that even though all these monsters and minor gods had a point, the way they tried to overtake the gods by killing thousands was just plain wrong. We both were troubled by the fact that the gods were somewhat blind, and we all had the same reasons to be mad. I guess that just brought us demigods closer. In the end, there was a job to do, and we got it done.
Gleeson Hedge: Very nice, you might not be as dumb as you look, kid.
Assistant: Coach…a call just came in. You won't believe what ju-
*Coach grabs the phone*
Gleeson Hedge: Just try to remain calm, this is Gleeson Hedge speaking. Yes (laughs) THE Gleeson Hedge. NO NOT THAT ONE…
Percy: I thought we were filming…
Assistant: We are…
Percy: And you wonder why this show never gets any views?
Coach Hedge *still on the phone*: OH MY GODS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! SO HE'S OKAY? THAT SNEAKY…Okay, Okay, THANKS! YOU MAKE SURE HE'S OVER HERE NEXT WEEK. Yeah, I'll let them know.
*Hangs up*
Gleeson Hedge: Hey kid, wanna hear a joke?
Percy: Um, yeah…sure
Gleeson Hedge: Well too bad, get out.
Percy: WHAT?!
*Water begins to flood the room*
Gleeson Hedge: UH, I meant to say: Get out…please
*Percy storms out of the stage, with Annabeth yelling in the back*
Gleeson Hedge: Well folks, I guess we have to go now, before this entire room is filled with water…god I hate these kids.
Gleeson Hedge: We'll be back this same time next week with a new episode. This time, with two very special guests, who just showed up! They'll be telling us their stories for the first time! For now, I'm going to go back to camp, apparently Chuck won't stop crying.
*Coach Hedge looks into the camera and smiles*
Gleeson Hedge: Next week, we'll be joined by…Leo and Calypso!
Yeah I don't think Percy will be coming back to this show for a while, at least xD
I was originally going to write this interview with Leo, but since he was..."dead"...I figured he needed some sort of introduction before I just made him come out of nowhere.
So if you liked it, please be sure to leave a review!
WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT! I ALSO WRITE OTHER STORIES, ABOUT SOME OTHER THINGS, THAT ARE ALSO KIND OF COOL (not really) :
