I don't know if I've mentioned this before but I have this whole schedule for this story and by now I must be at least six chapters behind. Or something like that, I don't have it on me right now. When I wrote it I didn't realize how long I was actually going to be away for on the March break and now the whole thing is messed up. I'm going to try and write a whole bunch of chapters tonight [I'M FINALLY BACK IN MY COMFY CHAIR, AWESOME WRITING HERE I COME!]. But anyways, I'm really behind so I'm going to try and write a few and maybe if-ifyou're lucky this week you'll get a few others. Then I'll be back on track and this story will be done in May.

Uh okay, wow, 94 favs and 101-you read that right,101story alerts. Wow, wow, wow. Thank you guys so much.

Also, thanks to Bell (not her real name but her pen name is 'Darknesse Sidhe'. You should check her out.) She puts up with me and lately I haven't even been sending her stuff because I'm a horrible updater and I just want to put things up. But thanks Bell. You're awesome.

It's funny because I wrote the poem and first chapters before the March break and when I finished writing my A/N, my hands were warmed up and everything and I was totally ready to write, then I went to the last line and couldn't remember where I was going with this chapter. I didn't even remember what it was about. I had to go look through my notes to find it.

Disclaimer: I do not own PJO because I am not a forty-some year old man. Nor do I want to be a forty-some year old man. That would be weird.

11: Girls and their clothes…

Roses are red,

Violets are blue

I really suck at rhyming

Go to the temple at 10, will you?

Xoxoxo

Your secret admirer ;)

Octavian stared at the note. It could be possible the note was another fake. I mean twopeople suddenly liking him? Yeah, probably a fake. But it couldbe real. What if he stood up his secret admirer and she didn't like him anymore? That would be horrible! He would die alone! ALOOOOOONE …!

Even Octavian didn't want to die alone.

That would be sad … The people of the underworld would probably laugh at him. : (

Octavian sighed; he may as well check it out. It would also be late at night so no one else would see. Unless they wanted to meet up at ten the next day, but that seemed unlikely. Besides, how could it hurt?

"Percy?"

"Yes Annabeth?"

"You know that squishy thing you're stepping on?"

"No comment on how wrong that sounded, but yes?"

"That's my foot."

"And your point is?"

"You have three seconds before I forcibly remove your foot from my foot. And if I have to move it you'll have to walk to go get it back after."

"I don't get it…"

Piper rolled her eyes at the two, crossing her arms. "I think she means if you value the gift of having your foot attached to your leg, you'll move it."

"Oh." Percy moved his foot, grumbling about how he'd known that, and how he wasn't afraid of the small daughter of Athena. Annabeth's smug look didn't help. Meanwhile, Piper was muttering about how immature the two heroes – both whom were older than her, by the way - could be.

"And we are done!" Leo announced as he came in from another room with Frank at his tail.

Leo had spent the last thirty-five minutes creating a letter made up little newspaper words. And then he had printed somethings out. Now, he was ready to put it in an envelope and put it in Octavian's room. Then, the real prank could begin.

Octavian was mildly disappointed when no one actually showed at the temple. They did leave a letter behind though.

It said;

Roses are red.

Violets are blue,

Sorry,

I couldn't meet up with you

Xoxoxo

Your secret admirer :(

Octavian stared at the note with a bit of regret. 'Besides,'he told himself in a slightly failed effort to reassure himself, 'it's better than it being a trap…'

When he arrived back at his barrack he found a giant brown envelope waiting on his bed. Inside was a letter.

Octavian,

We decided that you would look better as a girl

Tomorrow morning you will find a package of girls clothing which you will put on and wear all day

We also too the liberty of hiding all of your normal cloths.

You're welcome.

As a bonus, if you don't we will circulate the photo you can find in the bottom of the envelope.

Either you wear the cloths or we place the hundreds of copies we made around the city.

Choose wisely.

Octavian stared at the envelope with pure hatred. It better not be his fifth grade school picture, or his mother would have it coming. She was supposed to have burned that dang thing! Instead, the photo inside made him scratch his head. He had no idea when it was actually taken, but it was indeed him. It's not that the picture wasn't embarrassing, because boy, it was, it's just- wait. No, he remembered now.

That time he woke up in his bed wearing nothing but his ducky boxers… Oh gods… They had been there. The photo was of Octavian in the previously mentioned ducky boxers. Since he wasn't wearing a shirt, you could see how skinny he really was, which wouldn't be good for his reputation. (Because, damn it, he was freaking SKINNY. And pale. Girls don't like that.) And, he was drooling. Well, it could have been snot… Let's just go with drool and not contemplate other ideas…

Octavian winced and angrily wondered why he was even in this situation in the first place. It wasn't fair! Maybe if he didn't try to take over the city he could be normal and have a job delivering pizza or something. Mmm… Pizza. He could go for some pizza. (Maybe it would make him less skinny.) Before his thoughts could stray anymore, Octavian forced himself into bed and went to sleep, hoping he could stay that way forever.

The next morning, Octavian woke up with a box on his face. Inside where a whole bunch of clothes. And a bag of makeup. So not fair! They hadn't said anything about wearing makeup!

Octavian grumbled and made his way to the bathroom to put on the 'clothes'. And the makeup. Oh sad makeup.

The first thing he found was a bra. Not cool… He put his arms through the straps and tried to hook it up. How the Hade did girls do this, anyways! He took the bra off his arms and tried to get the hooks to go together. Finally, he was able to get both the hooks together then he slipped it on over his head. Ignoring the fact that the cups were way too big for his non-existent boobs (he was really skinny), he reached into the box again.

The next thing was neon pink and reminded him of a strip of paper that someone taped both ends together. There was a tag on it. It said 'Bandeau'. What the heck is a bandeau? He decided to put on foot through it, then the other. It was obvious it didn't fit on his legs so he pulled it up to his thighs. Nope, not there either. Eventually he figured out it went over his bra, which still was too big.

The next thing he grabbed was a shirt. Easy enough. He noted that it was practically see-through. Ohhh… That's what the bandeau was for. To stop people from seeing his bra… After that he pulled on a very short pair of shorts…. The last thing in the box besides the makeup was a very uncomfortable-looking pair of shoes. They were sandals that were full of straps, looping around the top flat of his foot and about his ankle. After five attempts, he was finally able to put them on the right way and fasten them on the right way.

Girls… How did they do this every day?

The last thing to do, unfortunately, was to put on the makeup. The only thing he recognized was the mascara, which he poked himself in the eye with.

Octavian looked at the note in his hand. Then he looked back to the guy who handed it to him.

"Call me some time okay?" The guy said with a wink, and then he walked back to his laughing friends.

Late on at dinner, as soon as Octavian walked in, the whole place went silent. He walked to his table and sat down.

"Uh, Octavian-"

"Don't." He growled.

That's when the laughter started.

Octavian, then note said the next morning

We thought you made a lovely girl

But, we felt that those pictures were just too good not to share.

We taped them up all over the city

You're welcome.

"Octavian, what the Pluto is this?" Alex laughed while shoving a copy of the picture in his face.

Great... And did he mention they actually stole all his clothes?

Meanwhile, on the Argo II, the children of the prophecy were laughing.

"Did… Did you see his face when that guy gave him his phone number?" Leo asked unevenly, still a bit hysterical even as he wiped a tear of mirth from his eye.

"Yeah. I bet that Octavian's scarred for life or something," Frank responded with a slightly disturbing grin.

"I was surprised about how long it took him to figure out the girl's clothes. It took him like what, thirty minutes?" Piper wondered.

Leo snorted, "Like it takes you less time."

Without changing her neutral facial expression or turning to look at him, Piper hit him hard on the head.

"Okay, break it up you two," Jason ordered.

Hazel looked around and said, "Hey, where's Reyna?"

This time Annabeth spoke up. "I think she's calming Octavian down. He almost started a food fight."

"Why do I have the feeling Percy had something to do with that?" a familiar, strong female voice asked from the door way.

"I did not-wait." Percy turned and looked at the girl in the door way. "Thalia?"

I saw the Hunger Games today (two days ago now, I wrote this on Friday). I was impressed. What do you guys think about it?

Remember how a while ago I mentioned I would switch up the contest (your entry could count as chapter 24 or another chapter if you like)? I feel like doing it now. The only rule: I must contain the word 'Banana' in it. Basically, what you have to do is come up with a completely hilarious idea for a chapter. It could be crack-ish if you want. And 'Banana' doesn't have to be the main idea. Octavian could just be eating a banana when they prank him or something. Or they could start a flash mob while singing the 'Narwhal song', as long as 'Banana' comes up in there at one point. Just please make sure it's really funny. If it doesn't have 'Banana' in it, it won't count.

And don't ask why I picked 'Banana'. It's one of my most frequently said words.

Let the games begin.

Review this really bad chapter?

WAIT! Does anyone know why when I update my story I get an email...? It's really annoying.
