Percy's POV
"What is it?" I asked, bored.
Rachel grinned. "I dare you to try an-"
Thalia interrupted us. "Guys, stop playing Truth or Dare! We have to-"
Rachel rolled her eyes. "It's Dare or Dare! Not Truth or Dare anymore!"
Thalia sighed. "Whatever. Anyway, we have to IM Chiron again as soon as possible."
"Way to go, Thals," Katie muttered. "So now what?"
"Let's just go back to camp," I suggested. All eyes were on me now.
"I agree," Nico said, taking the wheel and pushing Thalia off. He started up the engine.
"You can't drive!" Rachel gasped. "You'll get us arrested!"
Nico rolled his eyes. "Technically, I'm somewhere in my seventies."
"Yeah, but you don't look like it!" Rachel argued.
Nico sighed. "Are you going to let me do it or not?" He asked.
"No," The other quest members chorused together.
We probably expected him to get off and let Thalia drive, but he just said, "Whatever," and continued driving.
"Well," I concluded, "That went splendid."
Thalia probably didn't appreciate my awesome sense of humor and slapped me. I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Achilles curse, remember?"
She smiled. "It made me feel better," she replied, and then we sat in complete silence.
It was getting dark, so we decided to stop for the night. We checked into a hotel and sat in silence again.
"Well," Grover sighed. "Let's get some sleep."
I nodded vigorously and landed face-first into my pillow.
As soon as I landed, I fell asleep. Okay, maybe not that dramatic, but I fell asleep really quickly.
But that kinda sucked for me, because I had another demigod dream. And it didn't really help with my attitude, either.
I dreamed about a creepy old lady. I was walking somewhere…I couldn't remember, but it was on the way back to home from Yancy, my old school (before I got informed that I was part god and everyone practically wanted to kill me).
I could see a fruit stand; yes it was definitely the same on the Fates cut the life string nearby. In fact, I could see them next to the stand…with their balls of yarn. The middle one smiled at me creepily and cut the string.
It didn't feel like last time she cut Luke's string. It felt….well, let's get to the 'I felt magical part later' and get on with the 'I think I'm going to die' part.
I wanted to scream, but found that I couldn't move nor talk. Another creepy old lady waved her hand if she was cutting off an IM and I woke up, breathing heavily.
My first thought was: I am going to die.
My second thought was: Should I tell Annabeth?
No, I decided, I don't need her to worry about me. I'll just write her a note…
My thoughts were cut off when Annabeth walked in and yelled at us to wake up and get dressed.
"Got any spare drachmas?" Thalia asked, fumbling inside her pockets. "Because I don't have any."
It turned out none of us had any drachmas, so we decided just to head back to camp.
For the whole trip, I couldn't think anything except that we were going to fail.
Once they arrived at Half-blood Hill, they looked down and saw that everything was normal.
Thalia snorted and made her way to the Big Cabin. I followed her.
I was surprised to see that Mr. D was there, playing pinochle with Chiron. Chiron saw us first and smiled. "Ah, so you've arrived."
I raised an eyebrow at Mr. D. "What's he doing here?" I asked. "I thought he was supposed to be trapped somewhere miles away from here being tortured by some titans!"
Mr. D looked at me with a purplish fire in his eyes. "Mind you, I was partying miles away here." Turning back to his card game, he added, "Gathering some of my followers."
I snorted. "So that quest was all a setup?"
Chiron tried to keep a straight face but I could see a smile forming on his lips.
Suddenly, Ares appeared out of nowhere. "Ares!" I exclaimed. Ares glared at me but smiled. "The quest was faked," He announced, smirking. "You should've seen the looks on your faces. Priceless!"
Ares let out a giggle. It was kind of awkward. You know, seeing the god of war giggling isn't something you'd see every day.
That night at the campfire, I was feeling pretty miserable. I mean, everybody was looking at us weirdly and the image of Ares giggling was burned into my mind. The scene was kind of funny, but also quite disturbing.
"Hey Percy!" Travis said, smirking. I walked over. "Yes?" I asked.
He pulled out a laptop from behind his back and turned it on. He gave orders to Conner, who immediately hurried to the Ares cabin.
"You're going to love this," He muttered, opening a file. He looked up, and I saw that Conner's work was almost finished. He had a TV set up and some wires connected to the Hermes cabin.
Travis stood up and hooked the laptop onto the TV. He turned the TV on and opened a video. The way the TV was positioned, everyone could see it. Travis his play. And the most epic thing happened.
Turned out, the Truth or Dare game was actually pretty good, because a bunch of people started barfing up their dinner in laughter.
On the TV, it replayed the scene of where Ares was giggling like a girl. Everyone except the Ares cabin were laughing really hard. "You'll regret this, Prissy," Clarisse growled, herding her cabinmates back into the Ares cabin.
And that's what I would call, "Best night ever."
The End! :D
No romance, but still gooooood.
I've decided to do a sequel, but this time, it going to be Adventure/Romance.
So yeah, end of story.
So, um, because I can't do the voting thing and I'm lazy and don't want to edit the last chapter of my Lightning thief story, please tell me if I should rewrite the whole thing (Watching the Lightning Thief on Facebook) or should I just abandon it in your reviews.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed! :D
