Author's Note:

Hey everyone! I'll be back in America in perfect writing conditions in 2 days :) But I may or may not be able to write during the next few weeks because of summer camps, volunteer hours, and things like that ;-;

I've worked my way around my writers block, but now I don't feel as much support (REVIEWS MAKE ME HAPPY) from you guys reading my fic(s) and I'm not as motivated to write. Even just leaving a one-line review helps remind me that you guys are out there and I need to keep writing for you!

I will take requests for fanfic ideas if any of you want to see one from a prompt or an idea fleshed out or adapted J (basically I'm bored ok XD)

Anyways, here have an update XD

Love ya!

Nico and Will walked into the kitchen, where everyone was sitting on the floor, laughing at Frank's tomato-red face and poking him to ask the next person.

"Okay, that was a pretty good dare guys… but can we move on now?" Frank meekly asked. He slowly sank back down onto his spot on the floor, and started to deduce which person he was going to Truth or Dare.

"Hey, Percy? Truth or Dare?" Frank asked, brandishing a smile that was unusually cruel for him.

Percy laughed and replied cheekily, "You know it's always Dare for me, Fai Zhang." A flitter of pain drifted through Frank's eyes as he heard his late grandmother's familiar nickname for him, but soon returned to his regular state.

"I dare you," Frank started, "to let Grace dunk your head in the toilet and give you a swirlie!"

Percy groaned and started to stand up, but Frank interrupted him.

"AAAAAAAAAND you're not allowed to break the pipes this time!" Frank finished.

"Oh Zeus… Last time that happened, Dad got soooooo mad… Please Perce… for me?" Jason looked at Thalia pointedly, and she nodded.

"It would probably be best if we didn't have to replace all the carpet again. Hera imported all that from Greece, and if she has to buy them again for a second time…" She winced, giving the rest of them an inkling of how bad their stepmother's wrath could be.

Percy sighed, replying with an "Okay…" tinged with melancholy, and pulled Jason up from the floor. They both headed to the bathroom, where they heard a splash, some hushed talking, and then a toilet flush. One of the two (probably Percy) let out a string of curses as the door slammed open and the boys walked out of the bathroom. Annabeth started chuckling, probably thinking about past times when Percy had gotten a swirlie from someone, bringing back fond memories that she probably shared with the others.

Nico felt sort of awkward sitting there with Will, whom none of the others had known for a long time, but at least he felt safe and sound next to him. Nico semi-consciously reached for Will's hand, found it right where he knew it would be, and gave Will's hand a squeeze, then feeling Will return the gesture to him.

Piper leaned over to Nico and whispered in his ear, "You guys aren't technically official yet, are you? I don't recall you or Will ever saying you guys were boyfriends. You should ask him… if he doesn't ask you first!"

Nico shook his head, referring to the fact that he never said that he and Will were boyfriends, but Piper assumed he meant that he didn't want to ask him.

"Awww… come on! It's obvious that you two like each other… a lot… and the reason Frank came back red-faced is probably because you two were "getting it on" in there…" She grinned at the thought and continued, "But if you don't feel like you're ready to ask him like that, I guess… you could just wait…"

Piper nudged Nico's shoulder before returning to her upright sitting position next to Jason's empty spot as he walked back with a completely drenched Percy.

"Dammit Grace, who turned the water pressure up before flushing? Geez. Look at me! My entire shirt's soaked through!" Percy groaned as Jason tossed him a towel to dry off, and he rubbed it against his dripping hair, shooting daggers with his eyes at Jason.

"I'm gonna get you, 'Superman'…" Percy threatened while drawing air quotes around 'Superman' as he sat back down among a scatter of water droplets that had fallen from his spiky wet hair.

"You can't dare me back just yet! It's in the rulesssssssssssssssssss, Aquaman!" Jason taunted, sticking out his tongue.

"Damn it! Uh… Annabeth! Truth or Dare!" He turned to Annabeth, who was sitting beside him studying from her the architecture textbook she lugged around in her purse.

Annabeth looked up with a face that said 'No shit,' and replied, "Truth. Athena knows what you'd do to me if I said Dare…"

Percy sighed and thought for a moment, eyes finally resting on her textbook that was resting in her lap.

"I've got a Truth! Annabeth, who do you like better, me," Here, Percy smiled, "OOOORRRR… that… textbook?" He glared at his "rival" and then looked at Annabeth for confirmation. She had a shocked look on her face.

"You! Duh!" Annabeth replied, memorizing the page number of her textbook and slamming it shut.

"Well considering the amount of time you spend with that thing it seems like it's more important to you…" Percy huffed, pouting.

Annabeth pulled Percy to her and pulled him into a full-out kiss, and then pulled away after what was probably a minute.

"Does that explain my answer now?" She smirked, poking Percy in the chest.

Percy looked dazed, and nodded slowly, smiling to himself.

Annabeth smiled knowingly, and said, "I'll pass." She reopened her textbook and resumed studying.

"Well… I guess it goes to Calypso, since she's sitting next to Annabeth." Jason pondered.

Calypso smiled. "Oh, I get to pick now? Hm... Leo! Truth or Dare?"

Leo grinned. "Truth. Duh. There's nothing you can do to me if I pick truth." He grinned, carefree.

Calypso raised her eyebrows. "Okay then... How about this? If you were to cheat on me with another girl in this room, who would it be?" She smirked. Piper squealed. All the other girls looked uncomfortable, except for Annabeth, who was immersed in her book.

Leo's calm demeanor wavered. "Uh... Cali? Are you sure you don't want to pick something else? Like, an embarrassing secret?"

"Isn't this an embarrassing secret?"

"I mean another embarrassing secret..."

Calypso cocked her head to the side. "No, I think I'd like to know this one. Who would you cheat on me with in this room?"

Leo flushed bright red, like he just finished running a marathon and was about ready to flop over.

"Uuh..."

"Go on..." Calypso prodded.

"Umm..." Leo's eyes focused on the first girl he saw and he blurted out her name.

"H-Hazel!" he stuttered.

Frank's entertained face suddenly shifted to a scary, aggressive one.

"What? Are you saying you'd cheat on Calypso with my girlfriend? Isn't that crossing the line?"

Leo frantically scooted backwards on his butt, waving his hands in front of him. "No, no, I don't mean that, it's just-"

"JUST WHAT?" Frank bellowed.

Calypso, laughing, stepped in between them.

"Boys, boys, calm down. It's just a truth. Besides, I'm sure my Leo would never cheat on me, so you have nothing to worry about, Frank. Right, Leo?"

She looked pointedly at Leo. Leo nodded, still focused on Frank towering over him.

"Yup, yup, never gonna cheat on her... hey, that reminds me of a song..." He started singing Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna-"

"That's enough Leo..." Calypso muttered.

"Well, who's next?" Frank asked, looking unfazed again, and returned to his spot on the rug.
