Hey people!
Can you believe that this is the last chapter before the ending? *Dramatic gasp* Anyway, thanks for all the reviews, we always love those. :)
On to other news, I (Demeter) have made a FictionPress! (I also mentioned this in our other story Midnight Madness, but yeah.) Anyway, just go to my bio under the ThreeOlympianGoddesses profile page and there's a link to my FictionPress. I would really appreciate it if you gave me feedback on my stories; just let me know if you like them or not, and what I can do to make them better! Thanks. :)
But for the meantime, please enjoy Chapter 11 of Girls Night Out! Hope you like it.

"Well?" Beckendorf asked, wasting no time.
"Oh, you know, she likes me or whatever..." Percy said casually, waving it off. Beckendorf shrieked a scream that nearly burst Percy's earbuds. He latched on the Percy's arm, jumping up and down happily.
"Ow, dude! Let go!" Percy complained, prying Beckendorf's fingers off his arm. "We should get going."
"I agree," Beckendorf said, turning to the door. "Gosh, these heels are killing me!" Beckendorf whipped the heels off in one large fashion, revealing his large, stinky feet that didn't go well with the skinny jeans.
"Can't we just get out of this place?" Percy asked, his feet hurting as well. "I mean we found out what we wanted to know so..."
"Yeah. I hate this stupid wig." Beckendorf said, scratching at his blonde hair. The two boys began to saunter toward the door. The door that separated them and freedom. The door that meant, once they were out, they had successfully manipulated all the girls and gotten away with everything. The door- Oh, you get it.
But just as they were about to reach the exit, a girlish voice spoke into the microphone, ordering everyone to settle down.
"Aw, what now?" Beckendorf yelled out loud. A couple of nearby girls slowly backed away from him. Meanwhile the girl, who happened to be Silena herself, was telling everyone about how great it was that everyone came and had a fabulous time, blah blah blah, until something she said caught the boys' attention.
"And, now, I would like to welcome two new campers who were able to make it to our party tonight!" Silena shouted into the microphone.
"Oh Gods," Percy breathed. "Please don't be us, please don't be us!"
"Priscilla and Becky!" Silena squealed. "Come on up here, you guys!"
A spotlight shined right on the two boys and they squinted at the bright white light. A group of campers parted to let them pass to the stage. The dining pavilion was dead silent as "Priscilla" and "Becky" walked to the stage.
"Would you girls like to say a few words?" Silena asked over the awkward silence once the boys reached the stage.
She's on to us! Percy thought, his message sending alarms all throughout his brain. He tried to mind-send his thought to Beckendorf by squeezing his eyes shut and thinking hard. Nope. He stayed frozen right next to Percy, unmoving. He didn't even look like he was breathing!
Percy pushed Beckendorf up the last three steps to the stage and dragged him by the hand until they were next to a beaming Silena.
"No, thank you," Priscilla answered politely, hiding his fear, but Silena handed him the mic anyway. Percy looked out into the crowd. A few hundred girls stared back at him expectantly, waiting for him to say something.
"Uh...hi. Hello. Um…...Thanks?" Percy offered, addressing the crowd. Both his clammy hands gripped the mike, which soon became a sweaty mess.
"He means," Beckendorf butted in, seeming to snap out of his scaredy-cat-ness. He stood in front of Percy, who was still holding the microphone and leaned down to talk into it. " Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful camp. It's an honor to be here," Beckendorf said. Nobody moved. The camp was oddly quiet. Someone coughed and another told them to shut up. Beckendorf covered the mike with one hand.
"What do we do now?" Beckendorf stage-whispered to Percy. He was a total pro;his lips weren't moving at all but words were coming out. "Run?" he suggested.
"No, they'll catch us!" Percy admitted sheepishly.
"Fine. Here, gimme the mic," Beckendorf said, snatching the mic from Percy's death hold. "Um, well..." he started, and went on to yap about how great it was to finally be where they belonged and how amazing it was to meet everybody.
Silena half-listened and half thought about what color she would paint her nails the next day.
"Silena," a girl mumbled, sidling up next to her. Silena looked to her right. It was Annabeth.
"Hi Annabeth! Isn't this party just awesome? My girls and I worked three months on this and-" Silena was interrupted.
"That's nice, Silena. Anyway, why did you ask them to speak?" Annabeth asked softly, getting straight to the point. Silena shrugged.
"I dunno. I guess since they're new and all..." she trailed off.
"That Priscilla, no offense, but she's," Annabeth made a low whistle,"a character."
"So's Becky! She's nice and all, but...Do you think her hair's natural?" Annabeth stared at Silena.
"That doesn't matter. Anyway, Priscilla had all these long hairs on her leg, and it was SO gross and-" Annabeth stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong?" Silena, who was now chewing on a carrot stick, asked.
"I know who they are! I mean, not that they weren't before, but...Θεοί, πώς θα μπορούσε να είμαι τόσο ηλίθιος;!" Annabeth scream-whispered the last part into the air, shaking her fist.
"Annabeth, what are you talking about?" Silena asked innocently. Annabeth walked up to the blond-haired girl and shook her bony shoulders.
"The "girls"," she started, "are Percy and Beckendorf!" Silena nearly chocked on her carrot.
"What?" she spat once the carrot squeezed its way through her food pipe.
"Yeah...don't you see it?" Annabeth asked. Silena thought of her mental picture of Becky. She immediately saw that his awkward walk, too-small clothes, and absurd hair color were hiding Beckendorf. And duh! The name practically gave it away.
Thank goodness they were guys, because they were absolutely hideous as girls. Silena shuddered at the thought of Beckendorf as an Aphro-girl.
"You are SO smart, Annabeth! You are SO right!" Silena cried, smacking her forehead. She was ashamed that she didn't see it sooner.
"Those idiots just fooled us! They-oh those idiots!" Annabeth shouted. She didn't care that anyone else was staring at her.
"What are you going to do?" Silena asked, a little bit worried.
"Watch."
Annabeth stomped over to the "girls" who were wrapping up their speech and trying to make a hasty exit. "Hi Percy. Hey, Beckendorf," she whispered, grinning evilly and struggling to retrieve the mic from Beckendorf's strong grip. She finally succeeded.
"Hey guys! Having fun tonight?" she spoke into it. The crowd cheered, and Annabeth continued. "Yeah, well, we have one more surprise for you!" The audience's claps and shouts were deafening. "You guys know Percy and Beckendorf, right?" A chorus of "Yeah's" came from the crowd.
"Percy's a jerk!" a little girlie voice yelled. Annabeth laughed.
"Hey!" Percy shouted, than realized his mistake.
But before anyone could react, Annabeth yelled, "Well, here they are!"
In a swift motion, Annabeth ripped off the wigs of both the boys. The crowd gasped. Percy and Beckendorf stood there, horrified. Travis Stoll snapped a quick photo on his camera from behind a plant.
"Let's leave..." Beckendorf hissed between a gritted smile.
Annabeth smirked as the "former-girls" dashed away. That'll teach them.
Okay, I just wanted to make a quick contest to wrap up this chapter. You know the part where Annabeth says something in Greek? Well, the first one to find that, translate what it says and post it in a review will get a virtual cookie! :) Yay.
Please Review!
