Review Responses:

IamPiperdaughterofAphrodite- OOC is out of character, like Octavian giving out cookies and skipping. Slash is a ship with two boys, or two girls, like Perico- Percy and Nico as a couple. If you have any questions about what certain terms mean in the fandom, I would recommend checking out 'The PJO Fanfictonary' by Wonderstruck Pen.

BookWorm4Life12- I WOULD TOO! Except I would have to camp out at Barnes and Noble, 'cause I don't have a Books-A-Million in my area.

FireyShadows- He said that if he was going to do a crossover it would be way in the future. The book Serpent's Shadow (The Last Book of the Kane Chronicles) has hints that suggest a crossover, at least in my opinion (I FINALLY READ IT!)

This chapter is dedicated to ShadowPurple81 for making my day with your review. Thank you.


Rachel was an expert on weird. She saw through the Mist, almost got stabbed by Percy at the Hoover Dam, leading a quest through the Labyrinth, and became the Oracle. But a pirate ship in the middle of the lake? That was a new one. This week they were doing Capture the Flag a little differently. They were competing on the lake, in pirate ships. It was Campers vs. Huntresses. Each side had a Big Three kids. The campers had Nico, and the Huntresses had Thalia. Percy was sort of co-refereeing the games. His main job was to keep people from drowning, and to create challenges for the players, like a giant wave. Rachel was glad she wasn't playing.

Right now, Thalia, Nico, Rachel and Grover were attempting to hook up the water cannons, attempting being the key word. Annabeth and Percy were on the other ship, doing the same. Meanwhile, they were talking about their life stories. "Did... Annabeth like Luke?" Rachel asked, carefully surveying the reactions of the others. Grover swallowed nervously. "At one point she had a crush on him." he said.

Thalia shifted uncomfortably. "It took her a long time to accept... that he was..." She swallowed. Rachel remembered they

"He did the right thing in the end."

Rachel cracked a half heartened smile, attempting to lighten the mood. "Hypothetically speaking, could they have dated?"

Nico snorted. "Hypothetically speaking, no. There is a seven-year difference between them. When Annabeth was in middle school, Luke would be in College."

"Hypothetically speaking, they might have dated, once Luke stopped looking at her as a little sister, when they were older." Grover stated.

Thalia crossed her arms defiantly. "Hypothetically speaking, I don't think so. Besides, Annabeth is in love with Kelp Head."

"Hypothetically speaking, the Campers are going to beat the Huntresses tonight." Nico said with a smirk.

"Hypothetically speaking, in your dreams Death Boy." Thalia replied.

"Hypothetically speaking, I am looking forward to watching this game." Grover said.

"Hypothetically speaking, can I have a Half-Blood sandwich?" Rachel asked. Two demigods and a satyr stared at her in horror. Rachel sighed. "I meant a sandwich from Camp Half-Blood."

Grover snorted. "I want a Half-Blood enchilada."

Nico shook his head, his sides shaking from laughter. "Can I have some Half-Blood ice cream instead?"

"How about a Half-Blood pizza?" Thalia said. Doubled over in laughter, the four had completely lost control.

"Can I have a-DUCK!" Nico shouted, hitting the deck. Rachel and Thalia did the same. Grover looked confused.

"You forgot to say Half-Blo- AAHH!" A jet of water pushed Grover off the ship. He landed in the water with a big splash.

"Sorry, G-Man!" Percy shouted, using the water to throw him back on the ship. Thalia, Nico and Rachel stood up as Grover twisted his shirt, squeezing out the water. "This is the second time I got hit with a sonic water cannon this week." he muttered.

"At least it wasn't the Ares cabin with cannons this time." Rachel said. She looked over to the second ship. Annabeth was scolding Percy, who was rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. She said something and Percy smiled, looking at her. Annabeth rolled her eyes, and kissed him. Rachel put her hand over Nico's eyes.

"STOP KISSING! THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE!" Thalia shouted. Percy and Annabeth pulled apart, both of them blushing a brilliant shade of red. Rachel and Thalia gave each other a high-five.

"They're in love." Rachel said.

"Definitely." Nico replied. "I can't believe it took them four years, even though they went on many quests together, and saved each other countless times."

Grover looked up. His jaw dropped. "Is that..."

Nico swallowed. "The Hermes Cabin..."

"With water balloons..." Thalia continued.

"Flying on pegasi." Rachel muttered. She slapped her hand to her forehead. "Just when I thought I had seen it all."

Thalia pressed a button on the sonic water cannon.

"Ready... Aim... FIRE!"

Yes, Rachel was on expert on weird. Just like all experts, though, there was still more to learn.


A very good reason I could have used for Percabeth that would have made the argument unbalanced:

- I quote from the Last Olympian:

"Did you . . ." Luke coughed and his lips glistened red. "Did you love me?"

Annabeth wiped her tears away. "There was a time I thought . . . well, I thought . . ." She looked at me, like she was drinking in the fact that I was still here. And I realized I was doing the same thing. The world was collapsing, and the only thing that really mattered to me was that she was alive.

"You were like a brother to me, Luke," she said softly. "But I didn't love you."


If you are wondering, yes, the sonic water cannons in this chapter are the ones from chapter six.

The correct answer to the question: Maximum Ride: The Final Warning. The first person who answered it was a guest named Bacon, but since she/he didn't say what ship she/he wanted, it goes to Mighty Ruler of Gummi Bears.

Coming up next (in no particular order):

- Dwen (Dakota and Gwen) vs. Bwen (Bobby and Gwen) for I am Gwen Daughter of Arcus (PS: Who's Arcus?)
- Connor x Lou Ellen vs. Connor x Piper (Copper) for olympusgirl12
-Thuke (Thalia and Luke) vs. Thalico (Thalia and Nico)
- Will x Nyssa vs Will x Drew For CrazierThanLeo

A few questions:
1) Why is Riordan a troll?
2) Should I change my pen name to I am Nyssa daughter of Hephaestus?
3) What is Jason's fatal flaw?

I am feeling rather confused. Peace, love and clouds
