Chapter 4
Okay people this is chapter 4, it took me a little while to decide how I wanted the story to go, please review!
Piper's POV
Piper woke up to the sound of extremely loud music and cheering. The Aphrodite kids were hastily putting on dressing gowns and shoes, all of them were pushing each other trying to get outside. Piper got up and pulled on a jacket and slippers, she tied her hair up and started to push past her siblings. ''QUIET!'' she yelled. Everyone stopped pushing and stared at her. ''SINGLE FILE PLEASE! 'Shouted Piper. She exchanged a look with Drew who just shook her head. Nobody knew what was going on. Piper ran out of the cabin, her siblings following her. Everybody was outside, in their pyjamas staring at the Apollo cabin. Standing on the roof in a cheerleader uniform, screaming / singing her head off was none other than Miss Leah Martinez. The rest of the Apollo girls were in front of the door cheering and shaking their pom-poms. The boys just stared at them, laughing so hard that tears poured down their cheeks. Leah grabbed a loud speaker and said:
''Good morning Camp Half Blood!
''Look I know how everybody sleeps in all the time so instead of your alarms waking you up I'm waking you up! Oh and I couldn't resist the thought of everybody in their jammies!'' She winked and everybody started to laugh.
''Ok ladies let's do it!''
The girls sang this really weird song that they had written. It was so funny and everybody was laughing, the girls had ridiculous lyrics that made most people laugh their heads off. They all did cheesy cheerleading moves, while winking and grinning. Even Chiron who had come to see what all the noise was about was laughing his horse butt off. After 20 minutes the girls stopped and everybody cheered loudly. Leah snapped her fingers and the girls cheerleading uniforms were replaced by jammies. Everyone laughed and cheered as she got down from the roof .Then Chiron told everyone to get dressed and to get to breakfast.
Breakfast was the usual, everybody talked, ate, told jokes and gossiped. Same old, same old. After Chiron's good morning speech he dismissed them and told the campers to go to their lessons. Leah waved at Piper as she made her way to her archery class. Piper waved back and mouthed 'nice alarm'. Leah grinned and gave her a thumbs up before disappearing into the crowd. The Aphrodite cabin had a volleyball match against the satyrs this morning and after that sword fighting with the Hermes cabin. Piper smiled at her cabin and said '' Let's go guys!'' The Aphrodite cabin nodded and raced each other to the volleyball court. Piper trailed behind chatting with Lacy and Drew, Lacy said that she heard Chiron tell Argus that he had a big announcement to make and the girls were trying to think what it could be. According to Lacy Chiron didn't sound too pleased about it. Piper was wondering what it could be when the others yelled at her to hurry up. She, Lacy and Drew ran towards them to begin the game. The satyrs had obviously eaten too many enchiladas because they didn't play very well and most of them kept burping much to the disgust of the Aphrodite cabin.
After they beat the satyrs 3 – 0 (They could have gotten more points if it hadn't been for girls screaming when the ball came near them, like it was a cannonball) . They headed towards the arena. The Athena cabin were just finishing up fighting the Iris cabin, Annabeth smiled and waved at Piper and Piper waved back grinning. The Hermes cabin came in laughing and chattering, Piper could tell they were up to something since they had that mischievous glint in their eyes. Travis and Connor couldn't stop grinning, the twins were holding huge buckets with lids on them so you couldn't see what was inside. Piper should have been suspicious but she just let it pass. They started to get their weapons out while Percy showed them some new moves, then he assigned them a partner to practise it with.
After about half an hour, the Aphrodite cabin stood in the middle of the arena too exhausted to move. the Hermes cabin were just sitting on the bleachers ( whatever u call the seating area in an arena) laughing at them , Percy was giving them all a 10 min break while he got some new kids a proper weapon . Travis walked towards where the Aphrodite kids were sitting, a huge grin plastered on his face. He stopped halfway there and said , ''Hey guys, you look tired and I think you should freshen up don't you?''
''Yes definitely'', said Drew
Travis grinned and gave his brother a thumbs up. Connor, who was right at the back of the arena, nodded and pulled a string. Before they could say anything a whole bunch of water balloons rained down on the Aphrodite cabin, soaking them completely. The Aphrodite kids stood there in shock while the Hermes cabin laughed their heads off. Then Drew screamed and ran towards the Hermes cabin, screaming insults and threatening to give them a makeover with permanent make up . The Hermes cabin obviously thought that Drew was serious because they all ran out of the arena screaming like lame little girls. The rest of the Aphrodite cabin including Piper ran after Drew, screaming things like they were going to dye the Hermes kid's hair pink, and make them wear perfume that lasted for ages …. For the next hour the Aphrodite kids were seen running around camp waving their weapons A.K.A their beauty products and screaming, while chasing after the Hermes cabin.
Leah's POV
Leah was fed up. All day some guy called Gary kept hitting on her. It was so annoying, all he did throughout archery practice was wink at her and then come up to her for some flirting and chatting. Ewww, thought Leah this guy was just yuck. Sorry correction, this guy was a short , nerdy nerd, disgusting little dork and please somebody call the fashion police, this guy's clothes were ancient. Why do idiots keep hitting on her? When it was clear that Leah and Nick were over, loads of guys started asking her out, flirting, chattering… all that mushy stuff. Sure Leah had gone out with the cute ones, the ones who seem confident enough to ask her out. She went on dates with them, snogged them, took midnight strolls on the beach, but none of her relationships worked out, one of them lasted for 3 hours! All the guys she dated assumed that Leah liked them, she liked them but she didn't love them. Leah usually went out with these guys to get over Nick sadly she hadn't found someone like Nick. None of them were strong, nice, independent, brave, and handsome… Ok and I'm sorry but none of them were good kissers, two guys were like saliva city! It was just disgusting. Most guys she kissed just put their arms on her shoulder or waist, just doing the usual quick lips to lips thing. Most of the time it was Leah who leaned in since most of the guys were either scared to do it or nervous about her reaction, that just proved that they didn't know her properly well at least in her opinion. When it was clear that she and this guy couldn't have a future, Leah would dump them and move on to the next guy that ask her out . She continued doing this till about 3 months ago when she decided that none of these guys were worth it and she was just wasting her time. In her mind Nick was the one for her. There was nobody like him, no matter how hard they tried, no guy could ever replace Nick. Leah was always so confused, she was positive that she still had feelings for Nick, strong feelings but he left her, broke her heart and went off with Leah's enemy. Leah was also having feelings for a son of Ares, Adrian who had been her friend for ages .The two had become very close when Nick left. Adrian often gave her advice about boys, which was very sweet of him. So yeah two guys, one who broke her heart and another who doesn't know she likes him. Boy this was complicated, after the whole bad girl act Leah wasn't even sure she could even handle a steady relationship … but you never know.
A/N: I've decided to have the boys (Jason and Nick) point of view about their old girlfriends and their new girlfriends in the next chapter. Stay tuned.
Piper POV
Ok the Hermes cabin totally got the wrath of Aphrodite today. Those good for nothing little scandals now had makeup on that would probably last for 4 days, bubble gum pink highlights, and this magic perfume that could make you smell like a rose for weeks according to Drew. Travis and Connor got extra special treatment. The girls worked on Travis who had blue hair that was done up in little braids (his girlfriend Katie wasn't going to be happy about that) he had mascara, red eye shadow, blue eyeliner and foundation, Lacy and Meg had done his nails a bright pink with purple sparkles so that it was super noticeable. Drew had curled one side of his hair and left the other side in braids. Piper made him wear purple lipstick and kept reapplying it to make it hard to wash off. The boys were working on Connor. So far the son of Hermes had red hair with that purple sparkly spray thing in it, it was done up in a little bun with pink fairy hair ties and bobby pins. Connor had blue face paint smeared all over his face and LOSER written in lipstick on his forehead. He had bright red lipstick that apparently lasted for 48 hours straight. The twins had a mixture of magic creams smeared onto their arms, Connors skin was turning green and Travis now had loads of pimples on his arms and both of them smelled like a mixture of creams, flowers and paint. The twins wore these ridiculous outfits that were very colourful so colourful it was like they were wearing a sign that said check my clothes out! Boy revenge was sweet, but the Aphrodite cabin wasn't that mean so they made sure that all their products that they used would only last for a couple of days instead of months and months. Now those guys know not to mess with the goddess of love.
Chiron's POV
Chiron had news, big news that arrived from the gods this morning but he wasn't sure that all the campers would like it. Of course not all the gods agreed to this but Hera had insisted and as usual she came up with a way to convince them. Chiron was busy thinking of the camper's reactions when he would tell them, he didn't notice the smoke coming from the forest until a nymph came running up to him.
Percy's POV
Smoke was rising from the forest, nymphs came running down the hill screaming and calling for help. According to Juniper the forest was being attacked by giant fire breathing ants. Katie ran to gather up some campers while Percy, Clarisse, Annabeth, Juniper, Grover and Nico ran towards the burning forest. Katie returned with a whole bunch of campers and Chiron. Percy split them up into groups and sent them in different directions to do different jobs. Leah, Will and the Apollo kids were going to shoot arrows at the monsters that came down the hill. The Aphrodite kids (minus Piper) were in charge of making sure that no monster got anywhere near the cabins. The Ares kids (minus Clarisse) were going to distract the monsters on the west side while the Hermes cabin took the east side. Demeter cabin were going to help the nymphs and the satyrs clean up the half destroyed forest on the south end were there weren't any monsters. All the other cabins were going to surround the entrance that these ants were using (a huge crater in the ground) in the middle of the forest, and try to slow them down and close the portal. Clarisse, Piper, Annabeth, Nico and Leo were going to fight the fire ants where ever they see any while Percy and the Naiads tried to stop the growing fire. Percy doused burning trees with water, soaking them but more kept catching fire, nymphs were screaming and running in all directions. Naiads created giant baubles that floated around, watering trees and drowning and capturing ants. Percy watched, boy these ants were difficult the cabins were trying to get the entrance closed but so far it wasn't succeeding. Then Percy had an idea, he started to scream at the cabins that were surrounding the entrance '' GET OUT OF THE WAY IVE GOT A PLAN!'' The cabins immediately responded and dragging injured demigods, they ran away from the entrance. Percy turned to tell the Naiads '' We are going to combine our power and send a massive wave down the entrance tunnel so that all the monsters down there will drown.'' The naiads nodded and cheered. Percy concentrated on the ocean and so did the naiads, the river behind them exploded, sending a giant wave towards the ants that were near the entrance tunnel. The ants got carried away by the wave and were sent down the tunnel along with the water. The remaining ants disintegrated into green dust. Percy grinned and turned to Annabeth who stood next to him '' I've had enough excitement for one day.'' Chiron came up to them and said '' Well it isn't over yet, I have an announcement to make at dinner but in the meantime go clean up.'' He galloped off towards the Big House, his hair swaying in the wind. Percy looked at Annabeth, expecting her to know what was going on, but she shook her head with a confused look on her face. Percy had a feeling that this announcement was going to be bad.
During Dinner
Piper POV
Dinner was great, after spending the afternoon killing giant fire breathing ants, a barbecue meal was exactly what they needed. Being a vegetarian Piper ate salad, vegetable kebabs, corn on the cob and veggie burgers. The Aphrodite kids kept laughing at the Hermes cabin who still had the complete ''wrath of Aphrodite makeover'' Travis kept spitting his food out because it got mixed up with all the lipstick he was wearing, it must have tasted disgusting. Piper caught Leah's, who was eating a burger (despite Piper's advice about turning vegetarian Leah said she couldn't give up on burgers) Leah pointed to the Hermes cabin and mouthed '' nice work''. The two girls burst out laughing. Percy was with Leo and Nico by a barbecue, the three boys were too busy talking that they didn't notice their burgers burning, until Annabeth came over and told them off. Katie kept laughing at Travis's makeover claiming him to be ''absolutely hilarious'', she even gave him a crown of multi-coloured flowers to go with the outfit much to his annoyance. Drew and Will were hanging out at the dessert table, Drew was throwing him grapes while Will tried to catch him with his mouth, he managed to get all of them except the last one that hit him on his forehead. Just then Chiron clapped his hands demanding that everyone return to their seats for his announcement. When everyone was seated he took a deep breath and started to say.
'' It has come to the attention of Queen Hera of Olympus that her plan that helped us defeat Gaia is breaking apart. She doesn't want what happened before to repeat itself. Therefore she and the other gods have come to an agreement, every 2 years the camps must visit each other. Not all the gods have agreed to this especially, Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares and Demeter but eventually Hera convinced them. Every two years one of the two camps will host the event, it will be a mixture of entertainment, competition, activities and much more. However her majesty queen Hera has insisted that since the camps haven't seen each other for two years that this event shall begin this summer and it is Camp Half Blood that shall host it. The Romans are coming.''
Piper gasped , Jason was coming …. with Reyna. She looked around, nobody had said anything everybody was staring at Leah and Piper. Piper looked at the daughter of Apollo, Leah's face turned from excitement to astonishment and sadness, tears started to fall down her face she got up and ran out of the dining pavilion and Piper followed her, Chiron's last words echoing through her mind: The Romans are coming.
