Hello. If you guys know what AR is or Accelerated Reader I have something to say. I'm at 705% of my AR goal. Yay. Thank the gods for House of Hades. I will have a riddle for you at the end of each chapter now. I just decided. Yay. Now here's the new chapter. The Sleep Over!


Piper POV


I was setting up for the sleepover when Jason called.

"Hello?"

"Hey babe,"

"Wazzup, Nosaj,"

"Nosaj?"

"Yeah, it's your name spelled backward. Nosaj."

"Okay, Repip."

"Why'd you call?"

"I heard you were having a sleepover, and wondered if me and the boys could come."

I pursed my lips. "Don't you think Thalia will feel kinda weird having her brother here?"

"Nah, she'll be fine."

"Okay. Beware. I'll be very girly at this party."

"That's why I love you."

"Only that?"

"No! Please don't ruin the moment."

I laughed. "Okay. Bring as many guys as can come. The more the merrier. Bye."

"Bye."

I hung up just as the doorbell rang. I opened the door and found Annabeth and Thalia fighting.

"You didn't kill him!" Annabeth yelled.

"Well, why did he fall on the floor motionless-" Thalia started.

"Because you kissed him."

"On the cheek!"

"Still you know he has a crush on you..." Annabeth started to say. I was laughing. It was the funniest thing.

"Who has a crush on her?" I asked after I had settled down.

"My little brother, Matthew,"Annabeth said.

Aw, that is so cute. Come inside, and you can tell me all about it."


Percy POV


I was just finishing homework when my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's me, Jason. Come over to my house ASAP."

"Okay, see you in, what? ten minutes?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Okay. bye."

"Bye."

I ran down stairs and into the kitchen. My mom was cooking dinner, Erica was coloring, and Paul was correcting homework.

"Mom, Jason wants me over to his house. I don't know if I'll be home for dinner. He sounded real urgent," I said.

" Okay. Bye."

"Bye," I said. Erica giggled, but kept coloring. "What's so funny Erica?"

"Your mom," she said

"Your face," I said back.

"Your zipper," I looked down. My zipper was undone. I blushed and zipped up my zipper.

"Bye," I said again and rushed out the door.

When I got to Jason's house, he was already outside. He was waiting for me with Leo, Frank, Nico, and the Stolls.

"Sorry I'm late," I said.

"No time to talk. We've got five minutes. We might be able to make it," Jason said urgently.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"I'll explain on the way. Get in the car, all of you," Jason said. He was really scaring me.

We all got in the car. "Okay, listen. Piper is having a sleepover, and invited me to came along with 'the boys'. 'The boys' are you guys. There will be girls there. Including Annabeth, Thalia, Katie, and more,' He said.

"We're going to Piper's sleepover? Now that's kinda weird, don't you think?" I said.

"No. She invited us. We're here." We pulled up in front of a five story mansion painted a light purple. I always felt weird going there, because whenever I do, it's usually to get a 'makeover'. I hate those.

Jason rang the doorbell, and almost immediately, Piper came to the door. Thalia came to see who it was, then freaked.

"What is my BROTHER doing here?" she said. "I know you're dating him and all, but... wait and he brought the others?" She looked at Piper. They seemed to be having a silent conversation. "You know what? Okay come on in," she said. I was the last to go in.

Every one was walking in, and I just stood there. Something about the silent conversation they had freaked me out. I was about to turn around and leave, but Thalia pulled me back.

"No. You are not leaving. If you do, get ready for the pounding of your life. I will make sure you lose so much blood, you'll be as flat as a mat. You hear me?" She said in a super scary tone. I gulped and nodded. "Good, now go have fun."

Thalia pushed me inside, and right into Annabeth. Figures.

"Hey! Watch where your..." she trailed off "Sorry. I thought you were someone else. Connor Stoll has been flirting with every girl he sees. That includes me."

"Yeah, he's like that," I said. I couldn't believe I wasn't nervous. Or at least sound nervous. I decided to tell her about the time when Connor flirted with Clarisse. Big mistake.


Thalia POV


"Awwww. Look they're talking!" I said to Piper.

"I know right! It's so exciting!" she squealed. We were watching them talk. I heard Annabeth laugh. They looked over at Connor. He was flirting with Hazel. She was blushing, and Frank looked pissed. Leo finally took Connor away. Both Hazel and Frank looked relieved. I heard Percy and Annabeth laughing at him.

I caught some (or all) of their words.

"Wow. Did they spike the drinks already or did they just have some to drink before they came?" Annabeth asked, still laughing.

"No idea. Just don't drink anything except what you know is water," Percy said. They were both laughing and blushing like crazy.

"I think Thalia is calling me over," Annabeth lied.

"Okay. See ya."

"Bye." Annabeth came over to me, still red from blushing like crazy.

"You like him," I said.

"What?" she said pretending not to like him.

"Don't lie to me, Annabeth. I know you like him."

"Is it seriously that obvious?" She asked, sounding really worried.

I nodded. "Don't worry. Percy's oblivious to every thing. OMG! Look, Coral is talking to Nico. Come on, let's get closer, so that we can hear." We crept closer.

"...cookies should be here by Monday," I heard Coral saying. Cookies? Yep, sounds like Nico.

"Okay, thanks. That'll be my lunch. Beats having that school glop," Nico said.

Coral laughed. "Yeah. I bought a couple for that reason."

"Cool. I love girl scout cookies, but Percy's mom's cookies are the best."

"I know. She let me bring a whole plate of them home on Tuesday. I let no one else eat them. My private property!" Coral said, making, not only Nico, but Annabeth, Piper and I. They looked at us. Coral sighed and rolled her eyes. "I have to go. See ya."

She came over to us. "Eaves droppers," was the first thing she said to us.

"Hey we did it to Percy and Annabeth. Well Piper and I did," I said. Annabeth looked at Coral, then they both nodded. They walked behind me, then both of them, with all of their force, smacked my head. "Ow!"

"That's what you get. I can't believe you eaves dropped on us! I can handle Percy myself..." Annabeth trailed off and stared at one spot. "Hey, you guys, follow me."

We followed her to a secret hiding spot Piper has for when she doesn't want to meet her father's girlfriends. "Shh," Annabeth said quietly. She opened the door, got wide eyed, then waved us over.

I got almost as wide eyed as Annabeth. In the small little space was Leo and Reyna making out. I took my phone out and saw Piper doing the same thing. I looked over at Annabeth. She looked like she wanted to crack up. Piper and I took photos of it. I accidently left my flash on and Piper has a clicking noise.

Reyna and Leo broke their makeout session, looked up, and blushed. "I knew it!" Piper said.

"How'd you guys know we were here?" Leo asked blushing ferociously.

"I saw you guys, holding hands, and sneaking off," Annabeth said.

"And I go here to hide," Piper added. "Once Jason and I came up here and-"

"I don't want to know what you and my brother do up here when you're alone," I said.

Leo and Reyna got up and came out to join us. "All I was going to say is that we played Yahtzee up here. Gosh, Thalia," Piper said. "Now come on. We're going to play truth or dare."


Oooh. Cliff hanger. Now here's the riddle: What does the fox say? If you get the answer to this question right you get cookies and another treat. Love you.
