In the Son of Neptune, there were so much gags. Like:
Finding out that Arion was a son of Neptune
Finding out that Frank was a descendant of Neptune
Finding out that Phineas is a son of Neptune.
No wonder the book's title is the Son of Neptune. Such irony.

Chapter 29 ~ Easy
PETER :
I agreed to join the group. I know you would kill me but hear me out. Being in a group is sort of safe. And as far as I know, they only pick the best of the best. So why shouldn't I accept ? I had a meeting with them the next day. I went to sleep and had all sorts of mashed up dreams. Like one where I win and Katherine confesses that she loves me and we live happily ever after. Then there was another one where... Wait, now that I think of it, all my dreams end up with the marriage of Katherine and I. Not that I'm complaining.
I woke up the next morning and took a quick shower. I slipped on a pair of jeans and a purple t shirt I found in the closet. I walked out and saw that breakfast was ready. I sat down and started to eat. I was suppose to meet them after breakfast . Percy said that he would meet me downstairs. Breakfast was good. I slipped into the elevator and it descended.
As I walked out, I could see Percy talking to some other mentors. I better make friends. I approached them. The weird thing when you are a guy is, most of them are the same height as you and you don't really feel like a kid. I go introduced to the mentors. They were quite friendly. I thought they would be really snooty and stuff but do not judge a book by its cover.
So eventually we went down to discussing the song we would do.
"I thought we might do a One Direction song." said the District 1 mentor, Mark Greene. We nodded in agreement. We could start with their best songs.
"We could do 'Up All Night'" suggested the District 2 mentor, Lawrence Weild. It was a pretty good idea.
"Yeah, the songs pretty energetic and fun !" said the District 3 mentor, David Henry. Wait a second !
I thought groups could only have 3 people ? I asked them this and we all exchanged glances. We had the same question : Who is withdrawing ?
"What do we do ?" I asked, nervously. "Lucky numbers ?" They nodded.
I took out a notebook and ripped a page. I scribbled 1, 2, 3 and X in four places and ripped them apart. Then I folded them and put them in my hand. I held it out in front of us and covered my hand with my other one as if I was playing Monopoly. I uncovered them and looked at each of them.
"Ok, whoever gets the one with an X, it means he's out." I watched as they each took one. I opened mine, cared of the results. Wait, I got a 3. I looked up and saw the expressions. Mark was happy. David was happy. But, Lawrence paled. I immediately knew who took the X.
"Who's out ?" asked Percy. Lawrence put up his hand. Then we asked him and his apprentice to leave. Oh, boy. I think I made an enemy. How'd I know ? Well, if the glares weren't enough, I think the way he held up his middle finger at me. Yeah, enemy alert !
KATHERINE :
"No no ! It's like this ." I watched as my dance instructor taught me the moves whilst the back up dancers and Annabeth sat back and watched. It felt embarrassing. But in my defense, the moves were pretty hard . I had to remember where to be and when. And I had to steady my breathing so I could dance. I'm starting to regret the choice of song. But, I think I'm still sane enough.
We started again and I finally got it right. We have been practicing from 7 in the morning. Annabeth said that we had to do it a soon as possible because she isn't sure when her boss wants her at a studio. She even said that her boss has been signing her up for Yoga classes and Self Defense. Well, for her new movie that needs her to be full of action. So, she's controlling what she eats. And it's not a shock diet. Annabeth is always on diet so, she's used to it.
I was dismissed and I grabbed my water bottle from my bag beside Annabeth who was holding out her phone. She cursed in Greek and text something back. After sipping my water, I closed the lid.
"What's wrong ? And since when did you learn Greek ? More preferably, cursing in Greek ?" I asked. Annabeth smiled slightly and set her phone on her lap. Even though she was only wearing a pink tank top and black loose pants, she still looked beautiful. Even more beautiful without make up. Cause, you can see the natural shade of skin she ha and all. This made me aware of my self beauty.
"My self defense teacher said there will be a class tomorrow. So, I'll leave you in the hand of your dance teacher and singing teacher. " She cracked her knuckles. " I have to learn Greek because of the new movie. Or, I have to learn Greek mythology but I already knew a lot of them so I spent my time learning Greek. Cursing in Greek, however, I learnt it when I watched Greek movies. So, in conclusion, movies bring bad influence." I laughed.
I grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat forming on my forehead. My teacher called me again. She wants us to start the routine. As I stand in my position, she switched on the tune. The song starts on happy and positive. I'm suppose to prance around like a deer and let my dress move with me. But, before, I kept getting wrong sizes of strides. Like, I accidentally take two big strides when I'm actually suppose to take small ones. Then, after the happy part, is the intense, sexy part.
I'm suppose to dance around one of the back up dancers as if he was the one I was singing to. I don't get why we can't have Peter as him. Then again, that would be weird. So, weird. I didn't get any more nagging because I got all my parts right. After that, the class was over. I went back to my room or floor. It's actually not that safe because, they don't have locks. Which means that anyone can come in and sabotage. Or, Georgie can come in and sabotage. She's the first person whom I think will do that.
Then again, what is it with Georgie ? I never did anything wrong ? Then, there is the time I stole her lead in a play once. But that wasn't a big deal. Unless you count the talent scout in the crowd. But it wasn't that new. All I know is that I am the first one that she will destroy first. I wonder what song she'll do. Then again, knowing Georgie, he'll do something slutty. Especially since that One Direction would be judging. She might do, Peacock by Katy Perry or something.
But whatever ! I'm not Georgie ! I'm Katherine, Annabeth's apprentice. Everything will turn out great ! But why do I have a bad feeling inside of me. It must be nervousness. Nothing to worry about. Little did I know that it was something big.
My school has a drama competition on Thursday 3/5/2012. Wish me luck on being the host !
