ON WITH THE WAR- I MEAN CHAPPIE!
Scarlett like shopping. After she came to Camp Half-Blood, she wasn't able to do much of it anymore. But every month or so she was able to convince her two friends KK and Alec, children of Camese (minor goddess of choice), to take her for a new colored camp tee at the gift shop. This usually happened without much action; they just stood around talking while Scarlett went through the few racks of clothes that the gift shop had to offer. Why she had asked for help choosing between a pink or magenta shirt would forever be a mystery to both herself and her friends. Maybe she had just wanted their opinion because they were children of the goddess of choice. She would come to regret ever asking, because what came next wreaked havoc on all the demigods at Camp Half-Blood. Today was a day no camper would ever forget.
"I would go with the magenta one." Alec gave the shirt a approving nod.
KK wore a soft smile and lightly shook her head, "The pink one would look much better on her.
Alec gave his sister an incredulous look, "Do you have any evidence to back up that claim?
"It brings out the brown of her eyes. She could use less eyeliner and still have her eyes pop.
"Who cares about her eyes," Alec scoffed. "The magenta brings out the natural tan of her skin. Gives her more of an outdoorsy hot look. Scarlett, starting to feel the tension growing between the two siblings, tried to say something, but was quickly shut up by their raised voices.
"That's a stupid reason to pick magenta! Her skin practically glows anyway! She's the daughter of the goddess of beauty!" KK practically screeched at her brother.
Alec got an offended look on his face, "Are you insulting me?!"
"No, just your sense of style."
"You just think your all that don't you!"
"What do you mean?! I know I'm all that!"
Scarlett shrunk down into a corner as she watched this sibling battle unfold.
The figure of three girls could be seen walking down the main camp road. OJ was warily looking down alleys and into cabins while they walked, Alexandra was ranting about some new architecture plan that Annabeth wanted her to finish for her ("I mean, the Gods were the ones that gave her that job. Why won't she do it herself?!"), and Charlotte was both listening to the rant and keeping a protective hand on OJ's shoulder.
Charlotte was one of the youngest of the tree nymphs surrounding Camp Half-Blood, and by far the most social. It didn't matter to the campers, or counsellors, that she wasn't a demigod. She was treated like family and loved like family by everyone.
While Alexandra started to wildly gesture in the air and raise her voice, Charlotte noticed a certain son of Poseidon walking towards them. Before he could notice OJ, Charlotte pulled her two companions into the closest building in sight. The gift shop.
As soon as the girls walked into the shop, they noticed immediately that something was amiss. Raised voices could be heard coming from the back of the shop. Alexandra's rant quickly stopped as they started to creep towards the back shirt racks. Pushing them aside, they were now open to the two half-siblings argument.
Charlotte crept over to the huddled up form of Scarlett. "HEYLO!"
Scarlett looked up with fear written all over her features, "H-Hi."
Still keeping her casual personality, Charlotte leaned against a wall and gestured to the Alec and KK. "So, do they do this often?"
"Never like this." This made Charlotte a little worried. Even though she was a younger tree nymph, that didn't mean she wasn't particularly old. At five hundred and fifty-six years old, Charlotte had seen the outcome of several of Camese's children's arguments (the Revolutionary War was one of them). She was smart enough to know that this needed to be stopped here and now.
A few feet away, Alexandra and OJ were inspecting the argument themselves. Tired of them being so tense, Alexandra leaned over to OJ and whispered, "Water they doing?" OJ let out a cough that sounded very much like a suppressed laugh. Alexandra inwardly fist-pumped the air. 'She remembers our old inside joke!'
Taking a deep breath and leaning over to Alexandra she whispered back, "I doughnut know!"
This made the girls break off into a peak of giggles. Not because the joke was funny (a lot of campers thought it got old after a while), but just because it was something that lightened their mood.
After they stopped giggling, they noticed Charlotte hurriedly motioning for them to come over.
"Okay," she said. "We need a plan to get them to stop arguing. Any ideas?" All four of the girls went into deep thought. Scarlett unhuddled herself and raised her hand.
"What if you guys pick one color to settle on and side with that sibling? To them, wouldn't a majority vote make the choice easier?" Once again the girls went into deep thought. OJ broke off into a wide and evil grin.
"Let's do this."
Charlotte put a hand up, "Shouldn't we choose what color to pick?"
"Nah. Ya'll know what color I hate; this will be over very quickly."
The three girls walked over to the still arguing (screaming) half-siblings and walked in between them.
"How would you know what's best for Scarlett fashion wise?! YOU'RE NOT A GIRL!"
Alec's face turned a whole new shade of red, "That's it! This means war sis!" Then, noticing the protagonists, he stopped and started pleading to them. "Please! You have to show this fashion dead eight year old that I'M RIGHT!"
Alexandra cleared her throat and turned to OJ and Charlotte, "We need to say our answer at once." Both girls nodded their heads in grim understanding. They all opened their mouthed and said together...
Alexandra: Magenta
OJ: Pink
Charlotte: Magenta
Everyone, including KK and Noah, fell silent at this. The only sound to be heard was Scarlett face palming very violently into her hand. Alexandra finally came out of her shock and rounded on the ginger.
"OJ! What were you thinking?! You hate pink!"
"Yes I hate pink," she huffed. "But if you ever listened to any of my anti-girl color rants, you'd of realized that I hate magenta even more."
"Since when," shouted Charlotte.
"I say it all the time! Magenta is a freak color; it's not red, it's not pink, it's not purple... It's on it's own little quarantine island for non normal colors!"
"How were we supposed to know that," screamed Alexandra. The girl attempted to throttle the right side half to the Hermes Hell Spawns.
T-Shirt racks and objects near the vicinity soon became used as projectile weapons for the now three fighting teens (plus one very angry eight year old). A barrage of about twenty vases sailed over Scarlett's head.
"Why are there so many vases?" She asked. Charlotte grabbed the daughter of Aphrodite's arm and ran out of the gift shop. She observed with growing despair that demigods were now approaching the sight of the soon to be WWIII battleground.
'Why couldn't there just be peace at Camp Half-Blood for once?'
Alexandra started throwing bobble heads of Mr. D at OJ's head. One hit her right between the eyes and made her stumble a few feet back.
"That all you got, Hades Spawn?!" Alexandra laughed at her friends weakness.
Out of the corner of her eye, OJ could see Weasley and the Stolls running towards the gift shop entrance. Armed.
"Bring it on Smarty Pants!"
3 to 4 hours later:
The area surrounding the gift shop was a mess. As Charlotte had predicted, WWIII had almost occurred. All of the campers had gotten involved in the T-Shirt color battle; cabin against cabin, with the Camese's children ripped at the seams. Even though the fighting was over, both sides still screamed at each other. Charlotte and Scarlett were standing awkwardly in the middle of the two warring teams, not knowing what to do.
"Look, there she is!" Someone screamed from the crowd. The eyes of OJ, KK, Alexandra, and Alex all fell on Scarlett.
"It's all down to you, Scarlett." Alec said in an ominous tone.
"The decision ends with you," KK followed. "Will you choose pink?!"
"Or magenta?!" Alec ended.
"W-Well... I-" Scarlett started.
"CHOOSE!" Both sides yelled.
Scarlett realized this was the moment of truth, the final decision was hers. Walking over to the ruins of the gift shop, she stopped down and picked up a T-Shirt. Both sides strained to see what color it was. She turned around.
"Green is sooo underrated!"
Lol green is so underrated
Review!
YOURS IN DEMIGODISHNESS AND ALL THAT
PEACE OUT!
