You have got to be kidding me!

by Blue cookiesSeriously

Our demigods are quite heroic, you've got to agree, usually spending their time awesomely slaying monsters and going on deadly quests. But when they aren't doing all these things, are they as bold, daring and courageous as they seem? Or crazy, immature and childish? Is there another side to some of these heroes?

4. Star Wars

It was quite a normal day for Luke.

Other than the fact his father was Hermes and he was a demigod, yeah, but still.

He was sitting all by himself before archery with his cabin.

Then, suddenly, there was a flash.

Monsters?

Nope.

Hermes stood there, smoke curling around him.

Meh. He would have rather had the monsters.

Luke stared at him, confused. Okay, really confused.

"Um... Hermes.." Luke still refused to call him Dad.

What was even weirder was the fact that he was wearing a mask of some kind, and held a sword in his hand.

Well. It wouldn't really count as a sword. It was glowing green. Whatever it was, it looked cool to steal.

How do you steal from the god of thieves? Luke sat there, with a thought train in his mind, completely ignoring Hermes.

"Luke..." He started. Hermes sounding like he had been wearing a snorkel for the last 15 minutes.

Dramatically, he said,

"I am your father!"

Luke stared at him quizzically.

"I know that you are my father."

Hermes stared at Luke, like waiting for another response.

"Um... so is this what you came here for or something?"

Sighing, Hermes pulled of them mask and threw it somewhere.

"Haven't you watched Star Wars?"

Luke, for the millionth time, gaped at him.

"What's Star Wars? Is it like a war that..um involves... stars or something-"

"You've got to be kidding me, you haven't watch Star Wars?!"

"Er..."

Luke spent the next hour getting a talk about Star Wars.

Finally, Hermes had to leave. Luke looked towards where the classes were. How was he going to explain he had missed it because of a talk about Star Wars?

---

"Hermes came to talk to me about Star Wars."

Not joking, that's what Luke said. What else?

Chiron raised his eyebrows.

"Of course! ?*Rolls eyes* Don't use sarcasm with me child. What were you doing?"

"No seriously, he did. " Luke tried to look serious, but even to him it sounded stupid.

"What is Star Wars anyway?"

One of his half-sister's stepped forward.

"Did he, by any chance, jump out and say 'Luke, I am your father!' with a mask and everything?"

"Yes! He scared me."

The whole cabin was in laughter.

Chris, his half-brother, shook his head. "Blame whoever named you."

Luke had no idea what to say to that.

At last, he said, "You've got to be kidding me, right?"
