Chapter 11
Back! I'm not giving up on the story. This is all going to be first person from now on.

Chapter 11: Annoying Voices
"Truth." I declared. Thalia pouted. "Aww, don't tell me you're chicken. Well, time to see when you answer. So, who was your first crush?" I paled up even more, if that was possible. But I guess being the child of the underworld had its perks. "Uh...Please don't make me...Percy Freakson." "Hey!" He yelled. "Don't call me that!" Leo grinned. "Fine, Aquaman." "FREAKAZOID!"*
When the other boys finally calmed down [Thalia! I'm not giving it back! Besides, no interrupting, remember?], we went on. But before I could get too much of the word "Annabeth" out, Chiron came galloping in. "Nico, Jasper, Sherri wants to talk to you." He panted, out of breath. I sighed. What did she want this time? "Immediately," he added. Oh, great.
Sherri was waiting for us next to Thalia's tree (I'd finally managed to stop calling it...Well...You don't want to know), leaning against the border. "Hey," she said, like she was their best friend who they lived with instead of their sister who adopted them and wanted them back. "Why're you alone?" Jasper asked, as Nico growled out, "What do you want?" She shot up and held up her hands in defeat. "Easy there. I come in peace. It's just...Mom and dad are missing you guys."
Piper
What did they get up to this time? All I knew was that the shadows darkening weren't just the daylight fading. Sherri must have somehow made them angry...Or something. Just then, the barrier rippled and I guessed that she was pounding it. Yup, definitely angry.
It took a while, but we finally got them back. "Never mind," Nico mumbled. "So, Annabeth, truth or dare?" "Dare, What did you think? Percy gives me worse stuff." Nico grinned. [Okay, okay! I'm giving it back! Sheesh, kid.]
Nico
What the hell was wrong with that girl?!
Eh, whatever. "So, Annabeth, truth or dare?" I asked, starting to grin evilly. "Dare. What did you think? Percy gives me worse stuff." By now, I was completely unable to hold back my grin. "Heard you were...Ah...Good at singing. Choose a song, give it your best shot." The main reason I chose this dare? I knew that she was really shy about this stuff. She never got out a word at sing-along with the Apollo cabin, but when we were both feeling lonely and I knew it. I would go to a hideout I foud onetime while alone on the ship and listen to her singing.
Her reaction was not expected. I had been hoping for more than a sigh.
"Alright then. Piper, choose a song.
You'll say, we've got nothin' in common.
No common ground to start from,
and we're falling apart..."
On and on. It was actually pretty good, even though Piper had obviously chosen her least favourite song.
"..."
We made it. After two days, a lot of dares, and a dramatic goodbye, we were 'home'.At the Christian house. But as soon as we stepped in, things started getting strange...
...Which is my way of saying I AM OUT OF IDEAS!
*I was kinda reading Schooled by Gordon Korman when I wrote that.
The song's Breakfast at Tiffany's by That Blue Dot, I think. I got the idea of the song because that was the embarrassing song our teacher had us dance to the day before we picked our song (Stereo Hearts) and made up our own moves.
