Me: Bonjour! Ciao! Guten Tag!

Everyone else: What's gotten into you?

Me: I feel really foreign…

Everyone else: Oh okay…

Me: Check out my taco shop!

Everyone else: You have a taco shop?

Me: Yup…

Luke: Can I try one?

Me: Sure what would you like?

Luke: Pineapple, cheese, mince, lettuce, pepperoni and olives…

Percy: Argh! You eat olives?

Luke: Yup!

Apollo: Yuck! You eat pineapple?

Luke: Yup!

Poseidon: You like anchovies?

Luke (very smartly): No, sir, my heart belongs to my pepperoni...

Everyone apart from Luke: … Why is he acting all lovey dovey?

*Everyone falls down with shock, I walk away La La La La La~*


"Hey how's this?" Hermes asked Apollo pointing to a marine toilet seat in Macy's,

"Do you think Poseidon really want a toilet seat?" asked Apollo intrigued,

"Maybe, you never know with our family…" replied Hermes,

"Not everyone's as random as you my good friend," sighed Apollo,

Hermes thought for a moment… "Apollo if you were Poseidon what would you want?"

"Some bling for my trident…" answered Apollo

"I don't think older gods like 'bling' that much…"

"Seriously, from one young fun loving god to another: Zeus has a 20ct diamond ring, a $$$ necklace made out of celestial silver and gold panned from the river Styx and he attaches some occasional moonstones onto his master bolt…"

"Wicked, can't wait to give Zeus a run for his money!" answered Hermes dreamily…

"Look…I think you should give Poseidon something like chocolate... I mean everyone loves chocolate right?"

"Yeah, thanks bro…I owe you one…" replied Hermes

"Mmm talking about owing me stuff…how about you buy me some branch?" asked Apollo eagerly.

Meanwhile…

"Ohhh…Lovely wine, so beautifully packaged," said a woman looking at the wine, Percy looked down and saw there were these pretty gift boxes and ribbon that weren't there before, "Bathroom doors for Camp Half-Blood here we come!" he cheered under his breath and suddenly knew what to do…

"Madam, if you buy 2 you get one ½ price and it comes with a beautifully packaged box," said Percy showing her,

"How much are they?" asked the woman frowning... "It must be quite pricy,"

"Not at all…the red wines are priced from $10-40 and the whites are priced $15-30.

The woman bit her lip and thought about it for awhile...

"I think this would be a good present for my cousin, he loves wine but I am not really an expert so I don't know. Which one should I buy?"

"Well," continued Percy, "Riesling goes well with fish and is a light wine generally with apple aromas, this one here is $20,"

"Okay, sounds nice the woman replied, I'll take one," Annabeth took a shimmer-y purple box out and placed it gently in.

"Well, Merlot is really nice, it's soft and easy to drink, black cherry and herbal are typical aromas," explained Percy,

"I love herbal," the woman said and did the hula, Annabeth raised an eyebrow but Percy was on a roll,

"Now Point Noir is special, one of the noblest red wines, excellent with grilled salmon, chicken and lamb, is a very delicate and sweet little wine," he continued, like talking about a real person, "The aromas are very fruity: cherry, strawberry and plum often with notes of tea leaves and the hearty, calming fragrance of worn leather and damp earth..."

The lady was impressed, wow that sounds like a wine we should all try some…how much?"

"$25, cheapest"

"Okay, I'll take the Point Noir as well,"

Annabeth finished tying a pale lilac bow and handed it to the woman, "Thank you,"

"No, thank you," said the woman as she disappeared into the crowd.

"The blessing of Dionysus," Annabeth gasped as the were alone once more,

"The wah?" asked Percy not remembering anything,

"The blessing of Dionysus, you knew so much about wine…"

"I did?" asked Percy lying on the ground in exhaustion, "Must breathe,"

He didn't breathe through the entire conversation.

"Come on Seaweed brain, we've got more customers…" lined up in front of their stall were around 10 people waiting in a queue.

"Okay we need: a large supply of wine and a lot of oxygen for me…" Percy finished.

Meanwhile…

"Do you sell knives?" Poseidon asked the assistant politely, the assistants eyes fell on the rainbow sprinkles glued to Poseidon's black beard… (He ate an ice cream and he lost the napkin).

"Eh, yeah…follow me…by the way you got some sprinkles stuck to your beard…"

Blushing Poseidon hastily wiped them away with some water squirting secretly out of his hand… later the assistant found out that she could swim really well in the sea but not the pool…

"Swiss knives, Gordon Ramsey dicing knives and Jamie Oliver paring knives, we have it all…"

Poseidon casually thanked the assistant and browsed. He found a little Swiss army knife and placed it in his shopping basket…

Suddenly he bent down so he was covered by a giant teddy bear, "Titan's dammit, it's Hades…"

"What are you doing?" came Hades's voice right behind Poseidon,

"Um I thought I saw…someone I owe a drachma to…"

"Oh well in that case…I'll be off…for a second I thought you saw me and decided to hide because you are my Secret Santa…" blabbed Hades

"Ha that is so…funny…" laughed Poseidon a little too eager, "Ha-I mean nah, It's probably Zeus who got you…"

Hades gave Poseidon an amused look and walked off with a spring in his step…

Poseidon is my Secret Santa la la la la la…thought Hades.

I must be careful of spies now... thought Poseidon, Hades knows…


Poseidon: This is so unfair...

Me: It's called The Climax

Poseidon: It's called pure annoyance

*Hades rubs his hands together with glee*

*Poseidon thinks about it for a moment (since he ate The Athena Cookie TM) and grins*

Poseidon: Strength sometimes has to bow down to wisdom...

Annabeth: OMGS De javu! That phrase sounds familiar...

Me: You said it when you were 12...in an adventure called Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightening Thief

Percy: I was in a book?

Me: Yeah...main character actually

Percy: I feel so proud...

*Everyone rolls eyes*

Apollo: Did anyone say pranking?

Everyone else: No?

Hermes: Let's prank someone!

Apollo: Yeah!

*They disappear*

Athena: Don't forget to review!
