Author's note! IMPORTANT! You'd better read this, or else the story is about to get confusing!
Look, I reread this story a while ago and then thought that it's kind of... lame. Really. I spent all the time thinking about this. This is my first fanfic, so I don't want to change it. But then it was too short. I mean, compared to my other fan fictions, this is actually long. But then, the chapters are extremely short. So I thought that I should probably rewrite this. It's going to be mostly the same thing, but I need a bit of help. If everyone who read this part could tell me what they liked about the story, with a bit of constructive criticism, it would be extremely appreciated. I think I'm going to start rewriting in like, two days. School is starting soon, and I want this to be mostly better by then. I really wanted to finish this during the summer, so don't expect much from my other stories. There's going to be some MAJOR fixing on this. I hope you've read all of this. On top of that, please don't try to read the whole thing until chapter 31 is posted. It probably won't make sense. Scratch that. It won't make sense at all until the fixing is done while I'm fixing it. Actually, maybe I'll start the fixing today. Since I didn't want an AN only chapter, here is chapter 30, the chapter that is going to be staying mostly normal.
Athena's POV:
"I dare you to..." Poseidon paused dramatically. "Hug the first person you see when we go back to Camp and say a pun about them."
"WHAT?" Hades yelled. "What if it's Zeus or Ares? And besides, if the person's..." Hades clamped his hand over his mouth. "Never mind that. Anyways, truth or dare Hera?"
I wonder what he was about to say.
"Truth." Hera said firmly.
"Oh come on! What would you do if you were a mortal in this situation?" Hades sighed.
"I would... stay quiet and try to only say truth." Hera said. "Persephone, truth or dare?"
"Dare!" Persephone leaned forward smiling.
"I dare you to..." Hera paused to think for a while. "Run around the park, changing the flowers into something different in front of mortals and look at their reactions."
"Alright." Persephone got up and we stuck our heads out of the tent, watching as she ran around the park pointing at all the flowers and changing them all into pomegranate trees and then came back towards the tent.
I almost burst out laughing at their reactions. One was screaming that there were massive termites attacking and building houses. Another thought that the trees were actually people and started speaking to it.
"Truth or dare, Artemis?" Persephone asked.
"Hmm? Oh, dare." Artemis said, distracted.
"I dare you to walk into Poseidon's tent, grab the first thing you find and run around the park yelling about crazy retarded pigeons." Everyone except Artemis was laughing once Persephone finished.
"I don't want to do that!" Artemis said.
"You have to! Or else it's wearing a chicken hat." Hera said, materializing a ridiculous hat in her hands.
"Fine." Artemis sighed and walked away. We all waited in silence until when came back with a piece of a miniature sun in her hands. After that she walked outside and started screaming. When she came back, the sun was glowing extremely brightly. "They couldn't see me through the glare of the sun!" She said, brightly.
"I'm tired." Poseidon said. "Why don't we just relax for a while? Besides, we could play truth or dare when we're back, can't we?"
"I guess. But it's not really the same as being in the mortal world, is it?" Hestia asked. "There's the relief at being able to not being the laughingstock of Olympus. And if no one's nervous, the dares won't be so extreme." She said, softly.
"I know, but playing with more people makes it more... daring." I said.
Hephaestus and Hades frowned slightly. "But then with so much people, not everyone will get a turn." Hades said.
"Zzz..." We turned to see Poseidon sprawled on the floor, snoring. "Zzzzzzzzzzz..."
"Oh great! He fell asleep. Now, since Hephaestus is sharing the tent with him, I guess he'll be the one to carry him back!" Hades said, and flashed out, most likely to his tent, leaving Hephaestus glaring at where Hades was standing.
That's unfortunately going to be it for now. I'm going into re-writing mode soon. In fact, I'm going to start now, and maybe upload the chapters for other stories so that my 'work space' won't bee so crowded. MAYBE.
Goddess of Spring-Gems, singing out. For like one hour. The re-edited chapter one should be there by then. most likely. So if you notice the word count increasing... That's probably me editing this. The chapters will over lap for a really long time, but when it's re-written, it's going to be better that before! (Hopefully)
Au revoir pour maintenant!*Waves*
