LEO'S POV:

Holy Hephaestus!

This is like being in a soap opera, just hand me in the popcorn dude, I mean, if you know Spanish, esto esta CALIENTE!

I can feel the steam rising between the two of them, who will win?

Reyna, the Roman praetor...is she really that strong, with that amazin' poker face (SO agree with Annabeth n' Hazel)?

Or Piper, the beautiful daughter of Aphrodite...can she really win Jason down?

I know this was mean and all, but me and Frank were doing a bet. WHAT? I mean, it's not a bad thing to get some of the big dude's money, but this was an issue worth betting for.

"Piper, for $20."

"Dude," said Frank, "american or canadian?"

"WHAT am I supposed to know, can you see I do latitude and longitude, not convert money?"

"Well, Canadian is more-"

"Fine, $20 CANADIAN."

"Reyna, $25, canadian."

"Ohh...Piper, $30 Canadian."

"35."

"40."

"Let's-" Frank was interrupted by Hazel, who had just woken up.

"Hey, what are you two arguing about?"

"NOTHING!" me and Frank said in unision pushing our money in our pockets, while Hazel rolled her eyes.

"Let me guess, who will win in the Peyna War?"

We burst out laughing, Peyna? Awkward...

"Yeah, sure, Peyna..." we laughed. Hazel snorted.

"You guys are totally mean, I don't even know why I'm dating you Frank," she kissed him in the cheek, and Frank blushed.

Whatever.

I looked back and saw Jaz's gorgeous strawberry blonde hair shower through her golden neck. Her bright green eyes shone like emeralds and she had such a nice figure. I mean, she was hot.

And Piper's (Roman) brother in law shot me perfectly.

JAZ'S POV:

"It's ridiculous," Shelby said, "you're in love with a Latino boy with elvish ears but with the size of a SHRUB?"

"Oh shut up Shelby," I said, "you don't understand, you're only 6."

"7!" shouted Shelby. "Carter, Jaz said I was 6 and I'm 7!"

Carter barely mumbled back and I stuck my tongue out at her. Mistake.

NEW RULE FROM JAZ'S GUIDE FOR INITIATES, RULE # 87: NEVER STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE OR LOOK SMUG IN FRONT OF A 10 OR LESS INITIATE.

Shelby kicked me in the you-know-what part and I fell down.

"Jaz?" Cleo turned from her book, "JAZ!"

She dropped her book and got me up, and Shelby just looked innocent, it was easy for a 6-7 year old.

"I am sowee, it was an accident," she said in a baby voice and near 'tears.'

I glared my death glare at her and she smiled at me, smug.

"S'up," said Katniss coming back with a cup of ambrosia, or a Greek drink I suppose.

We were silently staring at her, when she said:

"Good news everybody!"

"WHAT?" we mumbled irritated.

"We'll finish Round 2!"

Everybody cheered.

"'Kay, let's get over this, are you ready?"

"YES!" we all shouted.

"Y-E-S! YES!" I did an old cheerleading routine we had in Nashville. It was pretty awkward, but everybody laughed, I could feel Leo seeing me, and I blushed.

KATNISS: PERCY, YOU AGAIN.

[PERCY WALKS TOWARDS THE ELECTRIC CHAIR NEAR KATNISS]

KATNISS: DON'T GET ANGRY, UM...LOST GAMER 64 SAYS: DEAR PETER JOHNSON, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO?

DIONYSUS: HEPHAESTUS WANTS TO MAKE A VIDEO OF HIS WIFE, YOU KNOW, CHEATING HIM

DIONYSUS: AS IN A DATE WITH ARES, THERE'S A NEW SERIES CALLED: THE DATES OF APHRODITE AND ARES. OH, AND YOU ARE HIS SON, AREN'T YOU?

KATNISS: ANOTHER? YOU KNOW, HE'S WASTING TIME, 'CAUSE THAT COUPLE'S GETTING TRICKY TO FILM. PLUS, WHY DIDN'T HERMES COME?

DIONYSUS: THE FILMING AMUSES BRAIN, PLUS HERMES GOT THE FLU, AND TO ANSWER YOU DAUGHTER OF PLUTO, EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS PLACE.

HAZEL: CAN YOU GET US OUT OF HERE THEN, LORD DIONYSUS?

PIPER: YES, AND PLEASE. [ADDS CHARMSPEAK IN IT]

[DIONYSUS LOOKS AROUND]

DIONYSUS: I BETTER NOT, THIS LOOKS INTERESTING.

[DEMIGODS AND MAGICIANS GROAN]

KATNISS: GO AWAY DIONYSUS, YOU'RE DISTURBING US, I'LL DO THE ORDER.

DIONYSUS: THE BETTER. BAD LUCK PETER JOHNSON!

[DIONYSUS DISSAPEARS IN THIN AIR]

PERCY: REALLY OPTMISTIC

PERCY: YEAH, WELL, MY FAVORITE THING TO DO IS TO SPEND TIME WITH ANNABETH, LIKE, A-DUH. SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND, EVEN THOUGH SHE BLABBERS ABOUT THINGS I DON'T KNOW LIKE THE ARCHE OF TRIUMPRE-

[ANNABETH GLARES]

ANNABETH: ARC DE TRIOMPHE

PERCY: WHATEVER, I ALWAYS LIKE TO BE WITH ANNABETH, IT'S SOOTHING, AND I DON'T ONLY LIKE IT, I LOVE IT.

KATNISS: AWW...WHATEVER. NOW THAT'S A GOOD ANSWER, THANK YOU PERCY!

[PERCY GETS OUT TO BE HUGGED BY ANNABETH AND TO BE SEEN A BIT JEALOUSLY BY REYNA]

KATNISS: OKAY, NICO?

[NICO TRAILS FORWARD]

NICO: LET ME GUESS, SOMETHING ABOUT GIRLS?

KATNISS: ALWAYS RIGHT NICO!

[NICO GROANS]

NICO: FINE, WHAT IS IT?

KATNISS: KWCUPCAKE 2000 ASKS: WHAT KIND OF GIRL WOULD YOU LIKE TO DATE?

[NICO ROLLS HIS EYES AND GRUNTS]

NICO: WOW, EXCELLENT QUESTIONS.

KATNISS: HURRY UP DI ANGELO! NOT ONLY YOU WANT TO REST!

NICO: FINE, FINE, STOP BEING SO GROUCHY. UM...ER, CONSIDERING THE GIRL I WOULD DATE, SHE'D HAVE TO BE...SORT OF PERFECT, BUT THAT WON'T HAPPEN, AND IT WILL NEVER, SO I'M NOT DATING-BYE!

KATNISS: WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF 'PERFECT'?

[NICO SHRUGS]

NICO: I DUNNO, SOMEONE TALL, COOL, NICE, PRETTY, SMART,A DEMIGOD MOST PROBABLY, SO THAT SHE CAN EMPHATHIZE WITH ME, ATHLETIC, OPTIMISTIC, AND BRAVE.

KATNISS: NICE DEFINITION, LET'S HOPE YOU FIND THE PERFECT HER!

[NICO MURMURS UNDER HIS BREATH]

NICO: LET'S HOPE NOT TO.

KATNISS: EXCUSE ME?

NICO: O-O-OH NOTHING!

KATNISS: GOOD, END OF ROUND TWO.

"FINALLY!" said Katniss.

Percy murmurs to Nico,

"You forgot to say, 'your age'."

"Oh, shut up Percy," Nico says rolling his eyes.

"Well, I'll be doing Hephaestus's order, bye kiddos!" Katniss goes off.

"When is she coming BACK?" asked Piper.

"Probably when she gets 4 more questions."

They turn around and see a girl, with orange hair, freckles, bright green eyes and an optimistic smile.

"Hi, I'm Fanny. I'm Katniss' secretary, I'll be here for her, if she isn't."

"Cool," said Julian smiling at her.

"But for now, I'll be doing some paperwork, just go ahead and enjoy!" Fanny encouraged them and settled in her own laptop.

'12 MORE QUESTIONS TO GO!' everybody thought.
