When they got to the hall, Dean explained how all of the campers have to make an offering to the gods before they eat, but they mostly do that at dinner. She didn't really pay attention to what he was saying, but to his voice. Then he led Karma to Chiron and made sure it was okay for her to sit at the Apollo table. After being told that it would only be fitting, Dean had Karma sit with him. "Where's all the food?" Karma asked, looking down at her empty bowl and cups. "Is there like a buffet or do they just bring around platters?" she said, now looking for someone to bring her food.
"You know what magic is, right? Well this whole camp is run basically on magic, so the food magically appears, okay? When Chiron says to, you will get your food, just calm down." Dean explained to her. Karma wanted to slap him, but instead, gave him a look that said, 'I'm not stupid, jerk,' which made him laugh a bit. Then Karma heard Chiron stand up and say that they could eat. All around her, food was popping up in the bowls and on the plates. Cups were filling their selves. All the smells of breakfast in the air, but still nothing sat in Karmas dishes. Dean must have seen it to, because he said, "Just think about your most favorite foods in the world. Anything you want, even from a restaurant."
Karma sat thinking about it. Could she really ask for it? Would it even taste the same? Only one way to find out, she thought. Then her plate had a steaming warm sausage, egg, and cheese McGriddle from McDonalds. And her bowl had oatmeal in it with cinnamon and brown sugar. All she could do was sit there, staring at it for a few minutes. Then she picked up the spoon and took a bite, expecting it to be normal oatmeal. When she tasted it, Karma's eyes started to water because this was the exact same oatmeal that her father used to make for her before she went to school. And if he couldn't make it, he'd get her McDonalds. The memory hurt to think about, but also made her feel good inside. It made her feel like her father was an actual dad at some point in her life; like she had been loved... the food was so perfect.
Then after finishing her food, karma noticed that her cup was filled with water. The wasn't going to drink it, so she asked dean for his hand, and when he looked worried, no doubt remembering something that happened on their way to the mess hall. They had accidently brushed hands for a moment and their birthmarks had glown. They had both felt the power run threw them and it had probably scared Dean, but it was amazing to Karma. Now she wanted to show him a trick that would more than likely work better with the extra power boost. "Just trust me on this, please, Dean?" he sighed and gave her his hand. "Watch this." She said picturing the water in her cup floating in a ball over her open hand.
"Okay, that's cool, but how are you doing that? Percy is the only one, or was the only one who can control water! This is insane!" Dean starts but Karma stops listening and rolls her eyes. She lets go of his hand and flicks the ball into the air, watching as it zoomed threw the other campers, racing toward its target. Then Karma grinned and held up three fingers. Three, two, one…
"AAHHH WHO DID THAT!?" Percy shouted from across the hall. He stood up soaked with the water dripping off his face. "Who did that and how did you do it? im the only one who can controll water!" Karma looked at Dean, who had gone pale. Then she stood up with a grin.
"I did it with my powers over water. Got a problem with that, Sea monkey?" Karma said, teasing Percy. She didnt look at Dean because she knew she would loose her cool if she did.
"Oh, you're on, Girly," Percy replied with his own grin. Karma thought, Yeah, finally! Percy looked down at his bowl, which was now filled with water, and moved his hand forwad a few inches. The water obeyed and shot out of the bowl toward Karma, who was waiting with her sheld of water up. The two began chucking water balls at each others heads and hitting only the other campers and the walls. their make-shift battle ground was soaked within seconds.
This would have gone on for hours, if Chiron hadnt been hit with a ball by Percy. The centar stood to his full hieght. "Percy Jackson and Karma Agrotera. This has gone on long enough. If you think you can have your aquatic battles in the dining hall, you are sadly mistaken. You can, however, go outside and continue. It has been a while since we have all seen a nice, friendly battle where the two sides arent bent on killing each other. The lake should do just fine."
Karma saw every camper stand up and run out the doors like an angry mob. She saw Annabeth give her a look of half pity, half antisapation. Karma just shot her an evil smirk and pulled Dean away by his arm.
