HK: Gods sorry for updating so slow but I've been away for two weeks… I'm a traveler.
TV: Of course you are…..
TT: Oh and thanks to all of our reviewers! A.K.A. P.8-18-94 and Caitlin Anastasia! Have a marshmallow! Sorry it wasn't roasted…we got no flames!
HK: We'll shut up so you can read.
Disclaimer: As said in the previous chapter, Rick Riordan is trapped in Tartarus with his books, and we can't think of a way to get him out… NOOOOO!(So obviously we do not own PJO…yet.) Review or you will fall (By 'fall' we mean 'get pushed in by Tia'.) into Tartarus to retrieve the books. And RR, I guess...
Shawn's POV
"I'm Dylan, son of Poseidon."
There was a silence. Percy was unconscious, Tia was awestruck, Tori with a sympathetic, yet humorous look. I was just staring at my new brother.
Dylan winced, and then fainted. Tia held him so he wouldn't fall. I had to admit, Tori was right.
Flashback
I was staring in disbelief at Dylan. Tori leaned over and whispered.
"I think Tia already likes him." I looked at her crazily. "What? Look at the way she looks at him. I'm no goddess of love, but she has the same look on her face. The face she has around Zack. Isn't it funny? She can sense when others fall in love, but she can't sense it in herself? "
I nodded. I saw her point. She had a dreamy look in her eyes. How did I not notice it five seconds ago? Gods…when Zack finds out…
End of Flashback
Some of the Apollo healers came and lifted Dylan on a cot and brought him to the infirmary. Poor brother. Naturally, Tia followed. Zack had a look of suspicion in his eyes. Who wouldn't?
Tori went back the her cabin with Rylee and Meghan. I decided to follow.
I looked though the window. The girls were sitting around the golden table in the center of the Apollo cabin. They were drawing some kind of chart.
"Ok, this will be the largest prank, and it will take place soon, and we won't stop until the surrender. We WILL WIN!" Meghan cheered, in a very angered way. I don't know why she was angry, maybe just for affect? I stepped into the cabin.
"What's the largest prank?" I asked. Tori looked up and smiled. Rylee was the one who spoke up, though.
"Oh nothing, just the worst day, or week, or month, ever!" Rylee cheered. I thought that was the perfect prank! With that, they would never get a break. Beware Hermes cabin…beware.
Tori's POV
Now, this prank war is fun. But what about the real war? The whether has been out of whack lately. Giant waves crashed against the shore, thunder rumbled above our little water-proof bubble. What next, a hurricane? Ha. Very funny. Did you think I was kidding? I think I just jinxed the entire camp, 'cause a new wind brewed. All of us stopped planning and looked out the door.
Campers stopped everything. All of the volleyball players stared at the sky.
A swirling funnel cloud touched down in the center of the cabins. Campers screamed and ran around aimlessly. There was a blinding flash and the funnel could dissolved. In it's place was Hermes.
All of the campers stopped screaming and stared at Hermes. He just stood there, not minding every person looking at him. Shawn, Rylee, Meghan and I walked out of the cabin.
"All campers. Up on Olympus, we kind of have a problem… and I ask you not to freak out or run into the center of this conflict. Stay out of this until Chiron lets you. The problem is that Zeus and Poseidon are threatening war." Many campers gasped. "Poseidon's trident has been stolen." More gasps. Percy yelled, "WHAT?". I guess he woke up..."And they may ask for fighters from this very camp. Do not answer this call! Um…that will be all… Bye."
And with those words he disappeared in a flash of light.
Several campers starting chatting nervously. I heard a lot of different theories.
"I think a daughter of Zeus stole it. Maybe Thalia?"
"Percy isn't gonna like this… or Shawn."
"What the Hades?..."
Well, now the whole camp knew. What could possibly go wrong? (Sarcasm, oh please not the sarcasm!)
Shawn wasn't happy. I know he was with us when the Stoll brothers told me, but he wasn't completely convinced. He just thought they were tricking us (Well, they are good at tricking people…). But now he just stared at the ground, looking pretty mad. I tiptoed away and over to the new Iris cabin.
I gotta say, the Iris cabin is pretty cool. Rainbow beds were in an arch around the multicolored walls. I don't mean just plain rainbow, I mean the beds change color every few seconds. A large fountain sprayed mist all around, and drachmas were plentiful at the bottom of the fountain. I took one and threw it into the mist.
"O' goddess of the rainbow, show me Apollo, Olympus." I said. Soon my dad's face appeared in the mist.
"Dad!" I yelled, getting his attention. I didn't call him lord or Apollo. He didn't like me or any of my half-siblings getting to formal. He turned and smiled.
"Hey Tori. Anything new at camp?" He asked, like a regular dad would.
"Oh… nothing much… what about the war?" I asked slowly. Apollo's eyes widened when I mentioned the war.
"How do you… who told… was it Hermes?" I nodded. I wasn't going to tell him about Conner and Travis eavesdropping, was I? I'm not an idiot.
"Oh…" He said. Very wide vocabulary, dad! (Oh no, not more sarcasm!) "Umm… ok."
I said bye and cut the connection. He was no help anyways.
Zack's POV
I may sound a bit paranoid, but doesn't it seem that Tia is falling for that son of Poseidon? She wouldn't…right? Hmm…..

Dylan's POV
I woke up on a soft cot. The same girl with brown hair down to her shoulders from before was sitting next to me. I shook the sleep out of my eyes.
"Where…" I started. The girl cut me off.
"You're in the infirmary. Oh yeah, I'm Tia." she introduced. "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood."
Yes! I finally made it. I'm finally safe. I just hope I won't have to explain my past…
TV: Great! Tia and Tori left to find someone to get the books back, so I have to close this chapter up. I can't believe it! They also made me go into Tartarus in a bunny suit to make RR give us the books. Didn't work! Although he did crack up… AND THE CATCH IT ALL ON VIDEO! Anyways… Who is Dylan, what is his past? Will this war EVER begin? Will I kill Tori and Tia? Read the next chapter to find out! BEWARE TIA AND TORI! BEWARE!
