Hey! Here it is! The last chapter of my story. Before you start, I'd ike to make a few announcements:
I most likely won't be able to update in the month or so. Because this story is now complete, that won't really be a problem for most of you.
Okay, so that's all. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus.
Jason, Piper, and Leo had agreed to meet in Cabin One, Zeus' cabin, for privacy's matters. They didn't really want anyone listening in on their conversations about Percy because they (Jason, Piper, and Leo) just really didn't want to sound like stalkers. Leo and Piper showed up at Cabin One right after breakfast so that they had enough time to talk before morning activities.
"So?" Jason asked once they were all sitting on Jason's bed.
"I think he's a great friend. I mean, sorry, I really didn't find out about his fighting much, but everyone I talk to respects him, so that says something about how he fights, doesn't it?" Piper said.
"Well yeah. But honestly, as much of a leader as Percy is to this camp, I have to wonder how loyal he really is to it." Jason replied.
"What do you mean? All I've heard about is Percy's loyalty." said Piper, a little defensive.
"Well, pretty much every story I've heard includes Percy helping out some monster. That just doesn't scream loyal to me." retorted Jason also defensive.
"I found out he took a dip in the Styx. You know, to get Achilles curse and all." interjected Leo, who was slightly amused with the fighting that was brewing between Jason and Piper.
Jason and Piper ignored him, and were now staring intensely at each other.
"Who exactly did you talk to? That just sounds ludicrous!" Piper all but shouted, getting to her feet.
"I talked to the people you told me to talk to!" Jason said, also getting to his feet.
"Don't forget he fought in the battle of Manhattan." said Leo, interrupting their fight another time.
"Why would he be a leader if he wasn't loyal Jason? Hmm, care to explain?" Piper demanded. Why couldn't Jason just take what Piper was saying seriously?
"How can he be described as loyal when he's helping out a bunch of monsters Piper?" Jason shot back. Didn't Piper get how insane she sounded?
"Yeah, also he saved Lady Artemis." Leo added in, still amused. Jason and Piper ignored him again.
The two were so busy fighting (and Leo was so busy enjoying the fight) that no one noticed the figure who appeared at the door.
"Don't worry Jason, I assure you, Percy's about as loyal as they get." Said the figure at the door.
Piper sent Jason a long that clearly said I told you so.
The guy at the door had curly brown hair, wore a Rasta hat, and had buggy jeans. Looking at him, the guy struck Jason as familiar.
"Who are you?" Jason asked. The guy laughed.
"Lord of the wild." The guy replied, sounding a little proud and a little mysterious.
"You're the guy from the Iris Message. You're the guy who talked to Chiron. Why are you here? " Jason said, finally making the connection.
"Well, I'm also Percy's best friend," the IM guy said, pride definitely evident in his voice now, "and you want to know about Percy. My name's Grover, by the way."
Suddenly, Jason realized what the guy on the IM had meant to say before Chiron cut him off. Is this the guy—? Jason assumed he meant: Is this the guy who replaced Percy? But now, he was pretty sure it was:Is this the guy who wants to know about Percy?
Leo also had a moment of realization.
"You're girlfriend's looking for you." Leo saw the strange looks her was getting, "never mind. Forget what I said."
"Yeah, we do actually. We've been asking people for days. However, we couldn't find anything remotely useful." Jason explained.
"Except for me." Leo interjected with a smug smile.
"Except for Leo," Jason added, rolling his eye, "Weren't you out looking for Percy? Why'd you come back?"
"Huh. Guess you just talking to the wrong people. Anyways, Percy's got a pretty interesting story, but it's pretty long to," Grover said and his eyes flashed with worry when talking about Percy," I have other responsibilities. I can't just abandon them, even to look for Percy."
But his eyes said exactly the opposite. Percy was his best friend; he'd rather be out looking for him.
"We don't care how long it is, 'cept maybe Leo; he's ADHD. It'd just be nice to know about the camp hero. Well we know about him; it'd be nice to hear a story that makes sense about him." replied Piper who looked like she had calmed down from her fight with Jason.
"Alright, well sit down. Guess, I should start at the beginning. His story started pretty similar to yours," Grover started, "on a fieldtrip."
Grover frowned at the memory and then sat on Jason's bed.
"Huh." commented Leo.
"Anyways, it all started when our 6th grade class took a fieldtrip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 28 mental-case students on a fieldtrip is never a good idea, regardless if one of them is a demigod. And then if that demigod's name is Percy Jackson, well then it definitely isn't a good idea." Grover said, and then chuckled.
"Percy gets in a lot of trouble in school?" asked Leo.
"Please. Percy's been kicked out of so many schools, he's lost count." replied Grover, but he was sounding like he was trying not to laugh.
And with that, Grover started telling the story of Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon.
And thus; Jason, Leo, and Piper learned as to why Camp Halfblood saw Percy Jackson as not only a friend and leader, but also as a hero.
Alright, so review and tell me what you think about the final chapter! Sorry if the ending is a bit of a ham and cheese sandwich (you, know dramatic. I won't explain because it's kind of a weird explanation, but yeah, it means dramatic).
Thank you to everyone who read, reviewed, or even looked at this story and thought Hey, this might be interesting.
I gotta run, so bye! (:
