"Could we please take a longer break?" Percy asked
"Don't feel like reading?" Triton asked. Percy shook his head. The demigods nodded in agreement.
"Okay, so Prissy, a spar. No swords." Clarisse said. Percy grinned.
"Really now?" He said. Clarisse smirked
"One match." She said.
"You're on." Percy said
Everybody cheered. Ares placed his bets and so did some other gods.
Clarisse and Percy removed their t-shirts and Percy removed his vest as well. Annabeth and Chris blushed a little.
"You know, now I totally get why we get so many Percy related injuries." Will said
"What now?" Percy asked
"Like injuries from people who get distracted while watching you train. Or watching Annabeth train. We have two different sections for those." Will said.
Percy's expression must have been pretty good because everybody burst out laughing.
"Yeah, you guys get about 20 cases per month through the Percy related injuries if he's training without a shirt and 15 with?" Nico asked. Will nodded.
"If without a shirt then about 30 per month. As for Annabeth, 20 per month." Will said.
"Well I got better arms than you, Perce." Jason said.
"I got better abs." Percy said. Everybody laughed.
"Let's see." Jason said, taking his shirt off.
"You both are right." Annabeth shook her head.
"Percy's got better abs and Jason's got better arms." Piper said.
"I've got hair, bitches." Nico grinned.
"Yes sir." Jason grinned.
"Though Percy's are good too." Nico said. Will nodded.
Poseidon smirked at Zeus who smirked right back. Hades smirked at the two of them so basically the three of them were smirking at each other.
"So are you three done?" Clarisse asked.
"Yeah." Percy said. Jason put on his shirt and let Percy and Clarisse have some ground.
"Start!" Hermes announced.
Clarisse went for Percy's hair and managed to grab them and drag him down. Percy smirked and flipped Clarisse with his hands onto her back. She grunted as her back hit the ground and let go of Percy's hair. Clarisse then twisted Percy's leg with hers and tripped him. Percy fell onto the ground but blocked the fall with his hands.
The two of them stood up. They ran at each other and grabbed limbs and hair and eventually landed into a position in which neither of them were able to move as the other was twisting the hands or legs. Everybody was cheering at the top of their lungs or laughing.
"TIE!" Percy announced from his position. Clarisse nodded. Everybody cheered louder and clapped.
"You've gotten better Prissy." She nodded. Percy grinned at her. The two of them went to their respective quarters and changed their clothes and joined the others.
"Who's up for some adventure sports?" Jason asked
"Like?" Thalia asked
"Like the ones which face your fears of elements." Jason grinned. Thalia paled.
"Nope." She said
"Come on Thals." Percy said. Thalia sighed and nodded.
"I'm in too." Nico said
"What are you planning now?" Poseidon asked
"Adventure sports that help face your fears of elements." Percy grinned. Poseidon raised an eyebrow.
"That sounds interesting." He said
"We're watching." Will said
"You're welcome too." Jason laughed.
"How do we decide which sport first? I mean I think we'd like to face our fears last." Percy said
"What about the old fashioned way?" Nico asked in a saintly voice which made everybody crack. Everybody had gathered around their table by now.
"Which is." Jason whispered dramatically
"Roll the dice!" Nico announced. Everybody burst out laughing.
"Idea given by the way the three realms of earth were divided, many many years ago." Nico said in a saintly voice again. Everybody was snickering by now.
"Who has dice?" Jason asked
"Here you go." Travis said, holding two out
"This better not explode in our faces." Thalia said.
"That's another one." Connor said. Hermes grinned and laughed with his children and gave them all high fives. The Hermes kids were quite happy to see their dad laugh again, seeing as he had been quite upset about Luke.
"Okay so lets go." Jason said, rolling the two dice.
"A seven." He said.
Thalia rolled the dice.
"An eight." She said
Percy rolled his.
"A nine." He grinned.
Nico rolled the dice.
"Whoo!" He whooped. "An eleven." He smirked and grinned. His cousins grinned at him.
Hazel rolled the dice.
"A ten." She smiled.
"So Nico, Hazel, Percy, Thalia and Jason." Poseidon said
"Lets go." Nico said.
"Where are we going?" Jason asked
"Dark underground tunnels where vampires will suck your blood." Nico said. Everybody burst out laughing or snorted in laughter. Hades looked proud.
"Lit but where are we actually going?" Percy asked
"An underworld-y roller coaster." Nico said.
"That sounds good." Hades nodded. Nico grinned.
"Okay so here we are." Annabeth said and everybody went in.
"So get in." Nico said. Percy, Jason, Thalia, Hazel and Nico got in.
"Please strap safely." The satyr who was in charge of the roller coaster grinned at them.
"All done." The demigods said. A nymph came and checked it and nodded.
"Good to go." She said.
"Good luck son." Poseidon said. Percy grinned. Zeus nodded to Thalia and Jason which pleasantly surprised them.
"3…2…1… Go!" The satyr said and the roller coaster went. As the roller coaster moved, there were high pitched screams.
"Is that Thalia?" Hades asked
"No, that's Percy." Annabeth said. The demigods nodded and chuckled. The four demigods went screaming and cheering all the way and when they came back, their head was standing up as is they got electrocuted. Nico and Hazel were smirking and grinning. Percy, Thalia and Jason looked traumatized.
"The ghost jump scares. I swear Nico." Percy said. Hades snickered. Poseidon chuckled at Percy's face and Zeus gave a small smile to Thalia and Jason.
"My turn now." Hazel said, rubbing her hands mischievously.
"You're screwed." Frank grinned
"We know." Percy squeaked. Even Nico was looking worried. Hazel was smirking and everybody else was laughing.
"What are you planning?" Persephone grinned
"An even spookier escape room." Hazel said
"A spookier one?" Percy asked
"Uh huh." Hazel grinned.
"Right." Percy swallowed
"Lets go." Hazel said and everybody went to the escape room and selected the spookiest one.
"I'm going to have nightmares." Percy muttered. Nico snickered as he heard him.
"There are only 5 clues. It's a short one." The nymph in charge said. Everybody nodded.
"All the best you guys." Castor grinned
"It's not funny!" Percy pouted. Everybody chuckled.
The four demigods went inside the escape room. There were a few high pitched screams.
"Percy?" Tyson asked
"Jason." Piper said
"And Thalia." Annabeth snickered. The campers snickered as well.
The four demigods came out, 15 minutes later.
"I am so dam traumatized after this." Percy said
"Dam." Grover snickered.
"Yeah, I swear that ghost came out of nowhere." Jason said. Nico and Hazel were laughing.
"The ghost came out of air or the underworld." Nico said
"Shut up man." Thalia groaned. Everybody laughed. Some of the people were trying to give them sympathetic expressions but failed. The demigods appreciated the attempt.
"And now its my turn." Percy said.
"Oh shit." Nico swore.
"That's very correct." Percy grinned darkly.
"So now we're going to go water slides taller than the leap of faith." Percy said
"Percy man." Jason said
"You gotta do it." Percy said
"It's quite fun." Triton nodded.
"What did I bring upon myself?" Jason groaned dramatically
"Trauma and a chance to get revenge." Annabeth snickered
"I thought you were on my side." Percy pouted but was grinning.
Everybody laughed at the demigods' antics.
They all went to the water slides arena.
"I want to do this too." Triton said "The slide I mean." He said
"Agreed." Poseidon said
"What about you guys do it after us? Like all that we do. We all can come up with some new places and you all could do those activities?" Will suggested.
"That sounds good but to be honest, I'm going to do this slide one they're done with it." Triton grinned. Poseidon shrugged and nodded.
"Yeah, that's fine. This one is anyway not the highest one." Percy grinned. Triton winked at him.
"Not the highest? What the-?" Nico said
"This thing is higher than leap of faith though." Hazel said
"Just a bit actually. Not that much." Percy said
"Can we just hurry with this? I want to show what I've planned." Jason grinned
"Yes sir." Percy said. Percy handed them swimming costumes and they all changed. The four of them climbed the top and the other gods and demigods surrounded the pool in which they would all fall into from the slide.
"So I'm first." Nico said. Everybody nodded.
The dryad who was in charge told him the instructions and he nodded. He kept this hands the way she told him to and went down the slides.
"Now, those are Nico's high pitched screams." Will chuckled fondly. Nico landed into the water and everybody chuckled as he came out grumbling.
"That was not fun." Nico said, yelling up at Percy
"I bet you enjoyed!" Percy yelled back as he grinned. Everybody laughed at that.
"I prefer jet skis and some less high slides than that." Nico said and came out of the pool. Hades nodded. Will gave Nico a towel and some spare clothes which Nico went and changed into to come back and watch the others.
"Thals, you're next." Percy said
"Jackson, I swear-." Thalia said
"Oh come on now Thals, it's all fun." Percy said. Thalia sighed.
The dryad gave the same instructions and nodded. On the way down, Thalia tried her best to not scream but gave in. She came into the pull, screaming as well.
"That was way too high!" she said
The sea gang grinned and Zeus gave a small nod of agreement.
Annabeth gave Thalia a towel and some change of clothes as well.
"Hazel." Percy called. Hazel nodded.
"No curses?" Percy grinned
"Not really." Hazel grinned. Percy and Jason chuckled.
Hazel went down calmly and everybody grinned and nodded.
"Damnn, Hazel. That was good. Not scared?" Triton asked
"No." Hazel said "I had fun." She grinned. The sea gang whooped and even Percy cheered from the top. Frank grinned and gave her a towel and clothes.
"Jason. You ready?" Percy asked
"I guess?" Jason said
Percy nodded and Jason went down the slide as well. His reaction was similar to Hazel's. He wasn't as scared and he actually had fun.
"Enjoyed?" Poseidon asked. Jason nodded.
"I want to see how I do on the higher slide." He grinned.
"That'll be even more thrilling." Amphitrite said. Jason nodded. Leo gave him a towel and some clothes to change into as well.
Percy grinned as he came down the slide, cheering and whooping all the way. The sea gang and Annabeth chuckled at him. When Percy came down, he caused a huge splash and the ones near the fence got wet.
"Seaweed brain!" Annabeth said.
"Yikes." Percy said. Poseidon snickered at his brothers who were also wet and weren't looking to happy about it. Percy went around and dried them all.
"You just had to add the extra drama?" Thalia asked
Percy winked.
"Makes it more fun." He said
"Now my turn." Thalia said "To be honest, I can't do anything related to heights either way and I'm too tired to think of anything. Jason you go ahead." Thalia said, stretching her limbs. Artemis chuckled at her. Even Zeus cracked a smile which did not please Hera.
"Bungee jumping." Jason said
"I-I-I." Thalia said
"There will be harnesses." Jason assured her. "And I can fly." He said
"Still." Thalia grumbled but went along with her cousins and the others.
"So Percy first." Jason said. Percy nodded. The satyr in charge tied the harnesses and gave him the instructions. He nodded. The sea gang looked a little anxious but they nodded encouragingly.
Percy jumped and went down screaming a little but kept his eyes open. He was pulled up and he gave a light shudder but grinned.
"I might just survive it again." He grinned. Jason high fived him.
Nico went next and he tried to not scream and he actually succeeded. He came back up and shuddered way more than Percy had and had paled a little.
"That was something that I hope to never do until there is no choice left." He said. Jason snickered and nodded.
Hazel went after Nico and she came up calmly.
"To be honest, I enjoyed." She said. Everybody cheered.
Thalia went next and she went down screaming and looked very pale when she came back but somewhere she looked proud of herself for facing her biggest fear. Artemis gave her a proud smile and even Zeus gave her a nod.
"So sis, any feedback?" Jason asked. Thalia hesitated.
"It was scary. Like really really scary but I'm glad that even though my fear hasn't gone away, I was able to face it." She said. Everybody grinned or nodded and Thalia's cousins and friends cheered.
Jason jumped next and went down cheering and screaming in fun. Everybody chuckled as they saw him going down as he enjoyed. He came up and grinned.
"So that's that." He said
"That was kind of fun. I mean the first time I feel down something high was not fun but this was pretty okay. I guess bungee jumping is fun without poison in you and with harnesses." Percy said
"Yes, it's might be better without the poison and with the harnesses but I I'd still hate it." Poseidon said
"Well you're going to have to do it in the plan that we all form for you and the events that you all plan." Lee said.
"So all of us plan something?" Hermes asked
"Well you guys can pair up or just ditch making the plans but it might be more fun that way. You could make groups or duos and come up with something. Then the things that we do will be there as well. For the water slide, the size is up to uncle P." Jason said
Poseidon raised an eyebrow at Jason for the nickname but grinned and gave a nod as approval.
"So am I to call Uncle Hades-Uncle H and Zeus as Uncle Z because I feel that would get a little weird." Percy said. Everybody laughed.
"Honestly, all of us except Aphrodite and the elder gods have only Uncle P and Uncle H but it's your choice." Hermes said
Hades nodded. Zeus didn't say anything.
"Brother." Triton chuckled fondly. "I'm going to enjoy spending eternity by your side." He said. Everybody smiled and most of the gods nodded at the demigods who smiled.
"Well our family has certainly expanded properly and actually become family." Percy said.
