APOLLO'S POV
Great, just great. Finally, we get some excitement around here, then Athena goes and ruins the whole thing! Oh well, at least we got to watch the video, so I'm good.
We sat there quietly after Athena and Poseidon's argument, just thinking. Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door.
Zeus sat up.
"I got this," he whispered, a slight smile on his face.
Uh-oh. I think I know where this is going.
"YOU MAY ENTER THE THRONE ROOM OF THE GODS! COME FORTH, AND ENTER!" Zeus boomed, looking pleased with himself.
I slapped my hands over my ears. He calls that dramatic? All he did was scream something really loud!
The door opened, and a young girl about 8 years old slipped in. She had beautiful brown hair and sparkling golden eyes that twinkled when the light hit them. She paused for a second when she saw us, a look of amusement slowly spreading on her face.
It was only then that I realized how pathetic we looked. As I scanned the room, I noticed that almost every god (with the exception of Athena and myself) was dressed in casual sweats and a t-shirt. Even Zeus! The only powerful-looking thing about us was that we were 10 feet tall. Very impressive.
Everyone blushed in embarrassment when they looked down at themselves. That is, everyone except for Athena (who always shows up at these meetings dressed in full battle armor! Paranoid much?) and me. The only reason I bothered to change out of my pajamas is that I want to look impressive when I'm driving my sun chariot each morning. But, of course, I always look hot, so there's no question there.
Zeus let out a small chuckle, and continued.
"Hestia. How nice to see you. What brings you here?"
Hestia nodded politely to Zeus, then stood up straight.
"I bring news."
Oh, really? Never would have guessed. (In case you didn't know, that was sarcasm. Come on, I'm the god of oracles! I know everything.)
Zeus leaned forward.
"What kind of news?"
Hestia hesitated for a minute.
"Why don't you see for yourself?" she asked, pulling a drachma out of her pocket.
She threw the drachma into the fountain, then took a breath.
"Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, please accept my offering. Show me Perseus Jackson of Camp Half Blood."
An image rippled, then cleared to show a view of Percy snoring in his cabin, a book in his arms.
I couldn't help but laugh at the sight of him. His hands were still gripped tightly on the book, and his head had slumped to the edge of his pillow, very close to falling off the edge of his bed.
Everyone in the room was holding back laughter, trying not to wake him up. Athena, however, looked horrified.
"He fell asleep while reading? How is that even possible?!" she cried.
I scoffed.
"Of course it's possible! I do it all the time," I said.
Athena shot me a look.
Hestia cleared her throat, then turned her attention back to Percy.
"Perseus. Percy, wake up!" she said.
No response.
"Perseus Jackson, get up! I need to talk to you!"
More snoring.
Then I had an idea. I jumped out of my throne and kneeled in front of the IM.
"Percy, look, it's Annabeth! And she has blue candy! Lots of it!" I said excitedly.
Percy's eyes flew open, and he wildly searched the room.
"What? WHERE?!" he said, grinning.
I laughed.
"Gotcha!" I said.
Percy whipped around at the sound of my voice and scowled when he saw me.
"Not funny."
"I agree, the image of you asleep with the book in your hands was better," I said.
"That's not what I meant."
Arty rolled her eyes at me.
"Apollo, he just woke up. Give him a break! And let Hestia talk to him!" she said.
I don't really know why, but I listened to her and went back to my own throne. Probably it was because I had a feeling I would suffer if I didn't take her advice.
Hestia moved out of the way, and Percy got a view of the throne room. His face paled at the sight of all of us. But a second later, he started snickering.
"What's with the clothes?" he asked.
Again, everyone blushed.
"We were in a hurry! Thank Zeus for calling another one of his surprise meetings," Aphrodite muttered. She didn't like looking "unattractive".
Hestia cleared her throat, and gestured to Percy.
"Tell them," she said.
Percy gulped, then nodded.
"Um, yeah. Well, the Camp talked things over today, and we have a request."
"Which is?" Poseidon said.
Percy looked down, trying to gather his courage.
"We don't think it's a good idea for you to have YouTube accounts."
