'No more abusing of my inventions.' Hermes said as soon as the chapter was finished and the page finished loading.
The laptop was still thrown to Jason anyway.
"Merry, Truth or Dare?" Jason asked.
"Dare." the Hobbit answered.
Jason thought. And thought.
'…' Nico was speechless.
'What?'
'I thought you had ADHD.'
'Well, yeah.'
And thought.
'Jason is soooooo unlike Percy,' Annabeth smirked.
"Okay!" he finally exclaimed, "Merry, you have two hours to get a girl to like you. Starting, now."
"Wait, but, how, where." Merry asked.
"Uh, yeah, where is he going to find a girl hobbit that isn't already married?" Percy asked.
Aphrodite grinned. 'Not all the girl Hobbits are taken, dearie. How about that one with a disfigured face?'
'No thanks.'
Just then, the door opened. Rosie and another lady hobbit walked inside.
"This girl suddenly appeared outside, she says that she is from the shire." Rosie explained.
"Rosie, dear, how many strangers are you going to invite?"
Rosie looked indignant. 'I never invited Gollum!'
Sam asked, "First Gollum, now, uh, what's her name?
"My name's Mary Foxburr, and would you be so kind as to tell me exactly where I am?" the Hobbit said.
'How did she even get there in the first place?' Hephaestus mused. Then he saw his wife throw a wink at Merry.
"Ah, uh, yeah," Merry said unintelligently, "You at Camp Half-Blood in the United States, on a continent called North America."
'You're confusing her, which doesn't make a good first impression. You should flirt, and…'
Everyone except Nico yawned. Nico was listening intently, trying to pick up tips. Hazel noticed and snickered. Nico would get payback for teasing her and Frank just now.
"Well, then, since it seems as if I won't be going home anytime soon, may I join you?" Mary asked.
Merry nodded, and Mary sat down next to him.
"And what is your name?" she questioned.
"My name? Um, my, uh, it's Merry. Merry Brandybuck."
Snickers were growing louder with every word. Merry blushed.
Jason smirked at Percy, and Travis handed Connor a Drachma.
Sorry this is such a short chapter. I promise to update a better chapter as soon as possible!
Please review!
'A better chapter? Think not.' Annabeth muttered darkly while the gods chortled.
