Ur a Hindu? So am I! And my friends all think I'm a weirdo'
My advice: If they're Christian or believe in a faith with one god, they're just jealous we got more gods than them, but that's just my opinion. Not much fact to prove it on, so don't quote me or anything unless you want to get back at them.
DanceGirl1031:
I never knew you could put that many doctors in a sentence and still have it make since.
Well now you do
Guest:
The doctor that doctors doctors the doctor the way the doctor that doctor doctors. :D
Great chapter. Mangoes for you!
Yay! Mangoes! Om nom nom!
Alexandra Jackson rocks Hades:
sorry i got lost after the third doctor
That's okay, even I got lost the first time I read it
Musical Dream:
This was a great chapter. And to answer your question, the doctor seeing to the other doctor would use the way he sees a patient as the other doctor is a patient right now. He will not follow the other doctor'a (who is now the patient) way of helping the patient.
Thank you, and thanks for answering the question, as confusing as it is.
Megaranger66:
*reads question* Whaaaaaaaat? Anyways love this story! Here's an all you can eat mango flavored buffet!
Don't worry, I got confused the first time I read it as well. Yay! Mangoes! Wait, is that beef and pork? Time to donate some food for the homeless! (I don't eat beef or pork, but since it's mango-flavored, why waste it?)
Chapter 11
Percy POV
We made our way to lunch, and quickly spotted Rachel, and made our way towards her.
"Hey guys," she said, before pointing to the other kids sitting at her table, "This is Gary Jaime Silk and that's his girlfriend Mary Pierre Yonichk."
"Yonicht?" I repeated
"K, not a t," said Mary, "and you're the closest of actually pronouncing my name right on the first try."
"Really?" I asked
"Not a big achievement," she replied dully
"I was just checking," I said
"Well no need to," she snapped
"Carefully, Mare," said Gary, "remember what happened last time."
"What happened last time?" asked Nico
"I accidently made the music sheets of the band catch on fire," said Mary
"Mary," said Rachel, "it was an electrical fire."
Rachael placed an odd emphasis on electrical, but Mary just waved it off.
"Anyway," said Nico, "can we sit here?"
"Of course," said Rachael, "it'd be weird to stand up at lunch and eat."
"Says the Dutchess of Unusual," said Mary
"Oh quiet La Reina de Buio," said Rachel
"You do realize you're mixing up languages, right?" asked Bianca
"What?" asked Rachel
"Reina is Spanish," explained Bianca, "and Buio is Italian."
"I thought that Buio is Spanish," said Rachel
"Nope," said Bianca
"Since when did you know Spanish, Bi?" asked Nico
"I actually paid attention in class while you slept, Ni," said Bianca
"How many languages do you know?" asked Gary
"I know 2," I said
"Same here," said Annabeth and Thalia
"3," said Nico
"4," said Bianca
"Well someone's an overachiever," I said
"Just because you're too lazy to learn another language doesn't mean I'm an overachiever," said Bianca
"Bianca," I said, "I never got a chance, remember?"
Bianca realized what I was saying, and looked down embarrassed, "Sorry."
"What happened?" asked Rachel
"Long story short," I said, "Annabeth and I ran away from home, met each other, found a camp for kids like us, and basically lived there until we found our mother this summer."
"When did you run away?" asked Gary
"When I was like 6," I said
"I ran away when I was 7," said Annabeth
"Why?" asked Mary, before blushing, "Sorry."
"No, its fine," I said, "Actually, it was my mom who told me to run away. You see, back then she was married to a different guy, real piece of work he was. Anyways, he used to beat us up when he was drunk which was often, and he used to gamble a lot, so we weren't financially high up. So, one day, he got in one of his rages and smashed his beer bottle. One of the pieces hit her heart, and we had to go to the hospital. I stayed in the hospital with her for a while, and one day she told me to leave her. I tried to protest, but she told me to go to the camp orphanage Annabeth and me go to, but she didn't tell me where it was. Naturally, I did what my mom told me to do, and I grabbed what spare money and clothes I could that I had hidden while my old stepfather was with us, and left. I traveled across the country for about a year before meeting Annabeth in California."
"You went all the way to California?" asked Gary
"Yeah," I said, "I had actually went through most of the Northern states before I reached California."
"How did you even get there?" asked Mary
"There are a lot of places where people don't look for when searching for 6-year olds," I said, "anyways, I arrived at California, and met Annabeth in an alleyway."
"What were you doing in an alleyway?" asked Rachael
"I thought my family didn't want me," she said, "so I ran away."
"Anyways," I said, "we talked a little, and I invited her to join me to look for the camp. So, we started looking together and eventually found the camp we were looking for, though we ended up being paralyzed or something."
"They still don't know what to call our state," said Annabeth
"What do you mean?" asked Rachel
"It was basically like being paralyzed," I said, "except we could honest to goodness get up and walk around, but we could still see our bodies."
"You're kidding," said Gary
"No, they're not," said Bianca, "me and Nico saw them when we got to the same camp, but we only saw their paralyzed body."
"But we could feel them walking around and helping or fooling around or something," said Nico, "but they wouldn't move a muscle while doing so."
"That's creepy," said Rachel
"That's life," I replied, just as the bell signaling the end of our lunch wave rang
