I'd have fun collaborating with you for a story sometime :) And yep… SCHOOL'S OUT! Though its gonna become a PMS-ing Kronos again in July =(
(Chapter 3) Thanks for the ideas! Seriously, it would be awesome to collab. with you. You're soo creative! And I guess you'd like to know that one of your ideas is the dare for this chapter!
ClydeMcConroy: Hehe… I'll try too. Thanks for the review!
bookwormgirl2497: Firstly, thank you for taking the time to review. I appreciate it. Secondly, the thing with writing about Karoake and music contests and stuff is that when you imagine it, or watch a video or something, its pretty funny, but just writing lyrics is a little hard. Still, I'll try to write a music contest and make it funny. It'll be a challenge! I already have ideas :D Thanks for suggesting that!
Hestia97: Thanks for the review. I think so too. And yeah, I will do that in future chapters.
Daziy is .: (Chapter 3) Thanks :) Okay-y
(Chapter 4) You're welcome :) Thanks for the review!
what's the point: I will!
The Demititan Healer: Whoa! Wait… who's kid are you? (Suspicious frown) Haha, anyway, thanks for the review!
HermesPotter: :D :D :D Your reviews make my day. They're so long :D I love reading them! And its okay, I know you've been off FanFiction for some time. I'm replying:
Your Guide to The Titan War II – Woohoo! :D Yeah, I know :) Its amazing that you're typing such a huge review on an iPod. I salute you, girl! Umm… what did I explain about Athena? And have a great eighth grade! Thank you :D Haha, Percy tap dancing is something I'd kill to see. Yeah well, that's what I was thinking too, but I decided that the next part in the story would explain it better. The only problem is, I remember what the use for Annabeth's gift was, but I totally forgot about Percy's! Ah well, I'll make something up. Haha… you'll see what Artemis does to Apollo. No, it doesn't signify that, but its significance will be explained in the next chapter. I loved Nico and Thalia on the plane. Again, I'd kill to see them act that way. Haha, that must've been hilarious! xD Thank you! I can't wait to finish writing this chapter and the next and then move on to Your Guide to… This sure is. Thank you for the awesome review!
Love:Laughter:Change: Haha, to be quite frank, I don't know yet. I'm going to compile the results of the reviews and the obvious answer to which boy each camper would vote and then see. So read on and find out!
PS: I have no clue! I'm hunting for her. Tempest, where ARE you?
PPS: That's okay; I appreciate the fact that you take the time to write huge reviews especially as you're on an iPod.
And now, last, but not the least, thank you The Demititan Healer for adding me to your Favourite Author lists :D :D Woohooo!
That's all for now!
PS: My vote also counts :D I think Luke was braver. I mean, whispering seductively, kissing Artemis' jaw, making her have freaking butterflies was awesome of him!
Note: This is FINALLY the whole chapter. Go read!
SPECIAL THANKS TO Define 'CRACK for the dare in this chapter.
~Last time ~
"THAT ISNT POSSIBLE! I'M GOING TO HUNT TWO JACKALOPES DOWN TODAY! AND THOSE TWO JACKALOPES WILL BE YOU BOTH!" Artemis hollered, looking into the fearful eyes of the two young demigods.
With that, she snapped her fingers and two frightened little jackalopes scrambled away from the furious goddess. They were small, furry little creatures – very cute. One had blonde fur with blue eyes that screamed 'help!' and the other had black fur with sea green eyes that were just as scared.
The goddess of the hunt lodged an arrow in her bow, a silver aura surrounding her. She took an aim at the two jackalopes who were backing away in terror, but were unable to get very far with their tiny legs and minds paralyzed with fear.
She released the arrow, which went flying straight towards the hearts of the two terrified beings…
And the arrow shattered into silver dust, intercepted by a blazing golden one.
"Apollo!" Artemis screeched, taking out her fury at her brother. She pounced on him and was about to punch him square in the jaw but he grabbed her wrists and pinned them behind her back.
"It was a dare!" he shouted, trying to make himself audible over Artemis' swearing and oaths. "IT WAS A DARE!"
Finally, she seemed to register his words. She stopped thrashing in her brother's arms and stared at him with a mixture of fury, bewilderment and annoyance. She then turned to the two jackalopes crouching behind a bush. She snapped her fingers and voila – Percy and Luke were crouching and cowering in terror behind a tree – a tree that was unfortunately Poison Oak. Percy and Luke had managed to rub themselves thoroughly against the bark of the tree and were now busy scratching themselves everywhere. Hermes was shaking with quiet laughter and Artemis was screaming at Apollo again.
"HOW COULD YOU GIVE THEM SUCH A DARE? HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME! I SWEAR! WHO'S IDEA WAS THAT?" she screeched.
"Artemis…" Apollo sighed. The goddess turned to the two young demigods.
"You two," she spat. "I don't want to see you anywhere near me. Is that understood?"
Percy and Luke nodded fervently. Artemis snapped her fingers once again and the demigods vanished.
"Apollo. I . Need . Answers," said Artemis, emphasizing every word.
"Shoot," Apollo sighed.
"Who's idea was this?" she asked through gritted teeth.
"Hephaestus," Apollo admitted.
Apollo could see the gears spinning in his sister's head. After a while, she sighed.
"I can't come up with anything!" she yelled, exasperated.
Apollo thought for a while, and then had an evil glint in his eyes.
"I know!" he shouted, jumping up and down.
"Apollo, stop jumping!" Artemis shouted. "What's your idea?"
"Here's what you need to do…" he said and whispered something in his sister's ear that made her eyes shoot up with delight.
CAMP HALF BLOOD
Percy and Luke were falling through the sky… straight into the sea – again. They were frantically scratching their bodies.
"I'm alive!" Luke screamed, and was greeted by saltwater rushing into his lungs.
He coughed and spluttered as Percy helped him out.
"Yeah, well, if you're going to act like that, you won't be alive anymore," Percy pointed out.
"Thanks," Luke replied sarcastically.
"Percy!" someone shouted. "Luke!"
The boys looked up to see a laughing group of half – bloods rushing towards them. The two boys couldn't help but glare at them.
"Oh my gods you both were so great!" Annabeth exclaimed. "It was so hard to choose who was better!"
"Thanks," Percy muttered under his breath.
Thalia and Annabeth dragged the two boys out of the water and enveloped them in large hugs. They were shaking with laughter against the boys' chests which irked them a lot.
Travis and Connor Stoll came up to them and waved their hands in the boys' faces.
"Dudes, you were great!" Travis exclaimed.
"Lets go and watch the YouTube video!" Connor finished.
"WHAT?" Percy and Luke shrieked in unison. "YOUTUBE?"
"Yeah," Charles Beckendorf grinned. "Dad's idea."
Percy swore under his breath and Luke followed suit.
"Come on!" Silena giggled and Percy and Luke reluctantly followed her and the rest of the campers to the campfire.
Everyone took their places.
"Good evening, everyone," Chiron addressed everybody. He was unable to keep a smile off his face.
"We all know that Percy and Luke decided –"
"More like we were forced to!" Percy called out indignantly.
Chiron ignored him.
"Decided to take part in a competition that would decide who was the bravest of them all. Here is the YouTube video of their seduction attempts," Chiron chuckled.
A roar of approval went through the crowd. Percy and Luke watched their 'seduction attempts' as Chiron put it in a mixture of disbelief, anger and amusement. Looking back at it, it was hilarious.
Everyone – Percy and Luke included – was chortling by the end of the video.
"And now!" Chiron managed to call out over the chortles of the campers. "The comments of the YouTubers and who they thought was the bravest!"
He scrolled down and the screen read the YouTube comments out loud.
Percy should win... Because Percy was being stupid brave Percy when trying to get Artemis away from Luke... Hahaha that was pretty funny! :)
Sabine8195
"Why does she think Percy should win because he was being stupid brave?" Luke asked angrily. His cabin followed suit.
"Yeah! Percy's always acting stupid!" Chris Rodriguez called out.
That caused quite a lot of people to laugh all around.
"Hey!" Percy called out indignantly. Chris smiled and shrugged.
"Sorry, Perce, but you've got to face it. My brother was braver."
That caused the Hermes cabin to erupt into cheers again.
"Well, that's still a point to Percy," Annabeth pointed out, rushing to her boyfriend's defense. "And Luke was brave, but Percy was stupid brave. That's because," here she paused to giggle. "Don't you remember how he ran and hugged Artemis when she was already mad at Luke for kissing her?"
Everyone laughed at the memory.
"All right," Thalia smiled. "Point justified."
Hahahahhaha!
anonymous
Please continue this series! This is awesome!
winonabcd
"We sure will," Percy muttered. Luke nodded.
"I want my revenge."
Really good and humerouse...Awesome is all i'm going to say and well trying to seduce Artemis I recon they semi-sucedecdI enjoyed.
Nightheart99
Malcolm tutted. "Humorous is h-u-m-o-r-o-u-s, not h-u-m-e-r-o-u-s-e."
"No one cares," Clarisse told him, sticking her tongue out.
Silena giggled. "I agree, you know. They did semi-succeed."
Luke and Percy distance hi-fived each other.
Awesome video! If you do continue this, here are a few ideas:
a) You said Percy is supposedly a son of Poseidon. Haha. In that case, have Percy tell Poseidon that the sea is useless.
"What?" Percy cried out. Chiron continued, ignoring him.
And that everything including water sucks ass. Can't wait for his reaction.
b) Lol where did you come up with the idea of demigods? So yeah… Luke is Hermes' son. Doesn't Hermes have flying shoes? You could do something related to that… Awesome.
MakesMeAwesome
Annabeth grinned evilly. "I have my ideas."
"Trouble trouble," Connor muttered.
Challenge a music contest to Apollo!
bookwormgirl2497
"And somehow make him lose!" Beckendorf exclaimed. "That'll be amazing!"
"But that isn't possible," Lee Fletcher pointed out.
"We can work on it…" Beckendorf disagreed, a plan already forming in his head.
I think Percy should win. He was more brave to actually kiss Artemis, wasn't
he? (hint,hint) =D
Make Percy kiss Artemis! XD
ClydeMcConroy
"No way!" Annabeth and Percy exclaimed at the same time, Annabeth not wanting her boyfriend to kiss anyone else, Percy white at the thought of Artemis' reaction. Everyone chuckled
Luke should win because he actually tried to kiss Artemis first. You should try and get one of the kids to tell their parents that their powers are dumb or something
Hestia97
"She's so right!" Luke exclaimed.
hahaha!
what a brave Percy and Luke!
although, if you ask me, i'll vote Percy as the bravest one..:D
Daziy is .
"Thank you," said Percy smugly as Luke fumed silently.
I kind of think Luke was braver. He took more initiative. Your video was AWESOME! Helped me get through a time of depression… Please keep on making these! And though I think Percy rocks… Luke was much braver by far! Go Luke :D :D
PS: Why are both of them so cute?
Sandra Tripped Over Reality
"Go Sandra!" Luke called out.
"She's got her eyes on you both," giggled Lacy, a daughter of Aphrodite.
"She won't try," Thalia muttered dangerously.
"And the winner is…" Katie Gardner began.
"Luke!" the boy's supporter's called out.
"Percy!" Percy's supporters shouted at the same time.
"Luke!"
Percy!"
"Luke!"
"Percy!"
"Lu-
"Okay, Campers, Calm down!" said Chiron, desperately trying to control the energetic crowd.
After they were silent, the centaur continued.
"Mortals have given Percy and Luke votes in the ratio of 3:2. So currently, Percy has a small lead," Chiron concluded.
Percy's supporters cheered and Luke's supporters booed. Chiron raised a hand for silence.
"However, the campers still have to decide. The campers will vote now!"
Everyone cheered. They started chanting either Percy or Luke's name.
"In a civilized manner!" the centaur called out, but in vain.
He sighed. After all, when did the demigods at Camp Half Blood behave in a civilized manner? It was a naïve hope. They were like animals.
"Okay, STOP!" he commanded and everyone shut up.
"We'll go in alphabetical order," the centaur declared.
Thalia groaned. "I'll have to be last!"
"Aeolus," said Chiron. "Amun, Haizea, what do you think? Who was the bravest?"
The children of the Custodian of the Four Winds gulped. They were looking from side to side between Percy and Thalia - not Luke.
Thalia was giving them her famous 'evil eye' and they knew that if they didn't choose Luke, Thalia would personally tear them to pieces. On the other hand, Percy was one of their closest friends; after all, his father was their grandfather.
The two of them turned to each other, locked eyes and came to a mutual decision.
"I think Percy was the bravest," said Haizea timidly. She glanced to the side at Thalia and saw her fuming. She gulped.
"But I think Luke was braver," said Amun, saving his sister from Thalia's wrath.
"The ratio still remains the same," said Chiron. "All right, Aether comes next. Aileen and Evelyn, what do you think?"
The twin daughters of the god of light and atmosphere glanced at each other. They didn't have any attachment to either of the two boys and decided to judge fairly.
"Luke," they said unanimously.
"Ha! Now Luke has the lead!" Thalia announced. Again, the cheering and booing started off.
"All right, cool it everyone," Chiron said desperately. "Its Amphitrite next. Mariana, what do you think?"
Mariana was the only daughter of Amphitrite. Her father was a tall, handsome Olympic swimmer and Amphitrite had fallen in love with him and borne him his beautiful daughter. Besides, she wanted her revenge on Poseidon. Despite her mother's coldness toward Percy, Mariana liked her stepbrother. Her decision was obvious to everyone.
"Percy and his stupid bravery!" she grinned.
"Thanks, Mar!" Percy called out. To Luke he said, "Now we're even."
"Aphrodite next," said Chiron. "Cabin 10, I want you to tell me your opinions."
Silena was the first to answer. "Luke," she said. She'd had a small crush on him before she started dating Charles Beckendorf. Besides, he'd been braver.
Drew surveyed Silena critically. She was insanely jealous of Silena because she was so much prettier and well liked than her. Of course she was going to contradict her choice.
"Oh I don't know," Drew began, nose up in the air. "None of them seemed too brave to me."
The whole camp looked at her as though she were insane. Despite their differences, they all agreed that Luke and Percy, both had been very brave.
"But I guess Percy was comparatively better," she finished disdainfully. Percy looked at her in disgust. He sure didn't want her vote.
"I like Percy," said Lacy quietly. That was a statement of fact. She did like Percy.
"Luke," Mitchell, a son of Aphrodite muttered.
Three other demigods chorused Percy and two went for Luke.
"All right, that has Percy leading by one vote," the centaur announced. Before anyone could start disrupting the quiet, he continued. "Apollo, what's your say?"
Everyone there liked Percy but Apollo and Hermes cabins were very close to each other.
"Luke!" the whole cabin chorused.
"Luke is now leading by 11 votes," Chiron declared. "Ares?"
Before anyone could say anything, Clarisse decided for them all. It was pretty obvious.
"Luke. Our whole cabin says so," she announced, daring anyone to say otherwise. No one dared to contradict her.
Luke's supporters stared jeering at Percy again so the activities director had to interrupt again.
"That's enough. Luke leads by 18 votes. Its Athena now."
"Percy!" Annabeth announced.
"Perce," Malcolm agreed, smiling.
The whole Athena cabin agreed to that, partly because they didn't want Annabeth fuming for the whole of next week.
"Luke leads by six votes now. Demeter, what do you think?"
Demeter cabin's votes were clear to everyone. The prank that Travis and Connor Stoll had played had still left the Demeter cabin disliking the Hermes cabin.
"Percy," Katie Gardner, Miranda Gardiner and the others in the Demeter cabin decided, giving Percy a lead of four votes.
The Dionysus cabin had Castor and Pollux the twins, and though their father despised Percy, they found him braver.
"Percy," they said unanimously.
Hades cabin only consisted of Nico, and of course he chose Percy. Hephaestus cabin was divided over Luke and Percy and an equal amount chose them both. After Hebe, Hecate, Hemara, Hygea, Hypnos and Harmonia had voted, it was Hermes cabin's turn. By now, Percy was leading by a good twenty-five votes.
The whole of Hermes cabin chorused as one – "Luke!"
The whole of them, except one new camper. Her name was Tamara and she was eleven.
"I though Percy was braver…" she said but Travis Stoll clamped her hand down on her mouth.
"She means Luke," he said smoothly.
"I'm sorry, that's not counted," Chiron disagreed. "Since there are twenty three of you in Hermes cabin who voted for Luke and one who voted for Percy, Percy has a lead of two votes. "
The whole of Hermes cabin scowled at Tamara who wished she could sink into the ground. Percy gave her a warm smile. She smiled back shyly.
The Iris cabin – which consisted of Butch and two of his siblings voted for Percy (Hermes cabin stole too many drachmas from them), Morpheus' two children voted for Luke, Ethan Nakamura from the Nemesis cabin chose Luke, Victoria from the Nike cabin chose Percy while her sister Nikita chose Luke. Percy was alone in the Poseidon cabin and of course he couldn't vote. He wished Tyson were there. Tyche's two children were divided over Luke and Percy, so Percy still had a lead of one.
"Zeus," Chiron finally announced, tired.
"Luke!" Thalia declared.
"And that, makes the score equal. Percy and Luke are considered equally brave! Congratulations, young heroes," said Chiron, smiling.
There was silence all around the camp. Percy and Luke stared at each other's faces in total bewilderment and outrage.
Finally, everyone save the two of them and Chiron started laughing. The situation was too funny to ignore. Both of them had worked so hard, almost been hunted by Artemis only to find that they both were considered equally brave!
The two of them huffed and stalked off into their respective directions – Percy towards the beach and Luke towards the sword fighting arena.
"Percy, Luke, wait!" Annabeth called out.
"We have a surprise for you! Wait!" Thalia yelled after them. The two of them turned and walked to the two girls. Luke was giving Annabeth the silent treatment and Percy was doing the same for Thalia.
"Oh come on, you two!" Thalia exclaimed, finally exasperated. "You knew who we'd pick. Stop ignoring us!"
"Come on, Luke," Annabeth pouted. Though she had once liked him, Annabeth had finally realized it was Percy who she truly loved and Luke was nothing more than a brother to her.
Luke finally cracked a smile. "You remind me of your seven year old self."
Meanwhile, Thalia punched Percy lightly in the arm. "I know you're going to finally talk to me sometime, okay?"
Percy had to grin. Thalia was right. They fought a lot, but they were really close.
She whispered something into his ear.
"You're kidding!" Percy exclaimed.
"I'm not!" Thalia grinned.
"No way!" Percy yelled. "Lets go!"
He took of with Thalia, leaving a confused Luke behind.
"Where are they going?" he asked, scratching his head.
Annabeth giggled. "The surprise. Lets go!"
She took his hand and they began to run after Percy and Thalia.
Meanwhile at Olympus…
All the gods were choking with laughter at the video of Percy and Luke's seduction attempts.
"They're adorable!" Aphrodite squealed.
"My son's amazing!" Poseidon chuckled.
"Our plan is working," Athena smiled.
"Your idea was amazing, Hephaestus," Hades grinned.
"It was quite amusing," Hestia giggled.
"I'm glad Percy and Luke are alive," said Hades.
"Yeah, because you don't want more traffic in the Underworld," said Hera sarcastically.
"Are you kidding?" Dionysus exclaimed. "I wish that Peter Johnson would've been shot with an arrow in his butt!"
Poseidon glared at Dionysus. He was about to do something nasty to him when Zeus called the meeting to order.
"All right, that's enough. I think our plan went well," he declared.
"You know what?" Aphrodite giggled. "Artemis was sort of enjoying the way Luke and Percy were, you know…"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" an enraged Artemis screeched, bursting through the door of the Olympian throne room with Apollo and Hermes a short distance behind her, laughing silently. Artemis launched herself on to Aphrodite, practically ripping her hair off her skull.
Aphrodite screamed in pain. It took Apollo, Hermes, Hestia, and Athena to pry Artemis off her.
"Arty, chill. Relax," said Apollo, grinning at her.
"Don't call me Arty," Artemis said, her anger breaking into a smile as she remembered what she was going to make certain gods do.
"Why are you and Apollo sharing that secret look?" asked Athena, raising her eyebrow.
"Since you all played that dirty little joke on me, I have a dare that you have to do," Artemis announced.
Hephaestus gulped. He knew by Apollo's face that Artemis had something terrible planned.
"I would have wanted to take my revenge on Hephaestus, but unfortunately I couldn't think of anything. "
Hephaestus breathed a sigh of relief.
Artemis grinned. "Instead, the Big Three will have to do as I say."
"Oh Ar, cut out the dramatic speech!" Apollo exclaimed. "Get on to the dare!"
"Wait!" Hades cut in. "Why us?"
Artemis shrugged. "You all had the most power. You didn't stop anyone from giving that ridiculous dare to the boys. Its time for my revenge."
"Besides, we couldn't think of anything that didn't involve demigods," Apollo added.
"And if we don't do it?" asked Zeus dangerously.
"Then I'm not going to help the Olympian council out in anything. I will sabotage your plan and spread more misery. I won't help you, and I know you need me," Artemis declared.
Zeus sighed. He knew his daughter was right. He loved her dearly but sometimes she became too unreasonable. Still, he supposed he could see what the dare was.
"All right, what's the dare?" he asked. Poseidon and Hades shot him angry looks.
Artemis giggled. "For the next one week, wherever you go, you three need to say the Team Rocket motto."
Hermes, Athena, and a few of the other younger gods who knew about what the Team Rocket motto was gasped in pure delight.
"The Team Rocket motto?" Poseidon asked, bewildered.
"The Team Rocket is this weird loser evil team in a cartoon series called Pokémon. It consists of three people – Jessie, a girl with long pink hair, James, this guy with weird blue hair and Meowth, a Pokémon which can speak in the human language. It resembles a cat. You know what Pokémon is, right?" Artemis chuckled.
The gods nodded, pale faced. They'd heard enough kids excited about Pokémon to know what it was.
"How-" Poseidon began but Artemis held up a hand for silence. "I'm not done yet. Zeus will be Jessie – "
"Haha, you're a pink haired girl!" Hades laughed, and he and Poseidon cracked up. Zeus glared at them.
"Poseidon will be James," Artemis continued. "And Hades will be Meowth."
"You're a cat!" Poseidon squeaked, tears running down the side of his face. He was laughing like crazy.
"At least I'm not a blue haired psycho!" Hades shot back.
"At least I'm a guy. Not a pink haired girl!" Poseidon chuckled and he and Hades burst into peals of laughter again.
"Will you both shut up?" Zeus thundered. "Artemis, we will not do this."
"Then I'm not going to help you," Artemis decided, stubborn as a child.
"Oh don't be stupid!" said Zeus, exasperated.
"I won't help either, if you don't do this," Apollo announced.
"Nor will I," Hermes chuckled. "Jessie."
Zeus glared at the three of them, giving him his patented evil eye but neither of them was affected. Finally, he sighed.
"All right, what's this Team Rocket motto?" he asked.
Apollo grinned and pulled out his iPod. He put on a video of Team Rocket declaring their motto before trying unsuccessfully once again to capture Pikachu and Ash Ketchum's other Pokémon.
Jessie: Prepare for trouble!
James: Make it double!
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
James: To unite all peoples within our nation!
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James!
Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now, or prepare to fight!
Meowth: Meowth! That's right!
By the end of that, everyone around the table was cracking up and the Big Three were staring at the iPod, appalled.
"This is ridiculous!" Poseidon exclaimed.
"Ha! At least I just have to say one sentence," Hades boasted.
"Shut up, cat," Zeus told his elder brother.
Artemis giggled – unusual for her.
"Why don't you go and practice this with Dionysus?" she said sweetly. "Dionysus would like that, now wouldn't you, Dionysus?"
"I'd love it," Dionysus chuckled.
And so the shame faced Big Three followed Dionysus into his chamber to prepare the ridiculous dialogues that would make them the laughing stock of Olympus.
Special thanks to Define 'CRACK for the dare! You're awesome, you know! :D
Sorry, I know Chiron is OOC. Many of the characters are. Oh well (shrugs)
Please don't review Chapter 5 as signed reviewers if you've already reviewed Chapter 4. Could you please do it as unsigned reviewers? I'll have to post a short A/N telling you that this chapter is up as a 5th chapter so if you review the A/N then you cant review Chapter 5. It would be awesome if you could write your Pennames in an unsigned review. Thanks if you do!
Looking forward to your response! That's a long chapter to make up for the delay in updating! Is the Percy/Luke vote thing a little boring?
Can't wait for your feedback! Do review!
