"Lets read now then." Chiron said. Everybody nodded. Clarisse picked up the book and started.
PIPER XV
Piper woke up and immediately…She was still gorgeous.
"You've got to be the first person to be annoyed about being gorgeous." Rachel chuckled. Piper shrugged.
"Snapped into a deep dress in front of the camp. I call that embarrassing. Though I'm just glad that I got claimed jut not in the way it happened." She said.
Last night after the campfire…refused to get puffy or bloodshot
Aphrodite grimaced.
"Those are quite some hard efforts." Leo said
"Real crying or fake?" Silena said
"I don't think that real would be hard seeing that Piper's going through a lot and its only been one day at camp." Annabeth said
She would've changed…ridiculous than what she had on
"You can borrow some of mine. I'm sure we have the same size." Annabeth said. Piper grinned at her.
"I got a jacket. You can take that." Thalia said
"You have about 20 jackets." Artemis said
"Out of which seven are green day." Reyna snorted. Thalia grinned
"You should listen to them." She said
"Black jackets?" Percy asked
"20 black jackets?" Grover asked. Thalia nodded. The two of them snickered.
"Amateur." Nico shook his head
"Compared to you in clothing? All you wear is black." Thalia retorted. Nico shrugged.
"Like I said. Amateur. Even I'm an amateur to dad, in the amount of black clothes." Nico said. Hades smirked.
"Percy, how many Hawaiian shirts do you have?" Thalia laughed
"Actually. I don't exactly have Hawaiian shirts but I have quite a few printed shirts." He said. Poseidon looked proud.
"Yeah, I think the Hawaiian shirts won't suit you yet." Triton said. Percy nodded.
She would've changed clothes…She looked like Cherokee Barbie.
A few snickers.
"Take a scissor and cut your hair rough." Thalia said
"No." Silena said, shaking her head
"Good idea but I think the blessing would still last." Piper sighed.
"Still might make you feel better." Thalia shrugged.
"Thalia." Silena groaned
From across the cabin…She didn't want to know.
"PIPER!" The demigods groaned and buried their heads in their hands. A few of them mock fainted.
"Why? Why would you even?" Katie groaned
"My ears!" Leo groaned dramatically
"Hey. I said I didn't want to know." Piper pointed out
"The thought still went through." Percy sighed, swallowing and drinking water.
Piper snickered at her friends' faces. Aphrodite smirked and decided to have a little fun.
"You see Piper, when you're a goddess and you like a person very very much-" Aphrodite started. The demigods' gave high pitched screams and held on to each other.
"Help us." Percy told his dad. Poseidon snickered and patted Percy's head.
"Clarisse! Continue reading! Dam it." Thalia said. Clarisse shuddered and continued.
"Don't worry, hon."…"Um, yeah. Sure."
"Mitchell's always been a sweet one. He doesn't like Drew either." Silena said
"Mmm-hmm." Drew took out… wiped the bubbles out of her hair.
The demigods expressions morphed into fury.
"What the actual heck?" Leo asked
"How can anybody treat their own siblings or anybody like that for that matter." Katie growled.
Even Aphrodite looked angry. She was going to have a talk with Drew.
"Drew isn't going to be head counselor." Chiron said, even his expression one of annoyance.
"Make Mitchell head counselor." Silena said "I will pass it on to him." She said. Chiron nodded.
"It will be your choice." He said
Clarisse continued reading angrily.
"Seriously?" Piper said to no…definitely unnatural about that.
"Hey! A lot of us are cleanly. You should visit the Apollo cabin some day." Will said
"Tyson's very clean too." Percy said. Tyson smiled.
Every camper had a wooden camp…neatly folded and color coordinated.
"Yeah they are." Silena admitted. Piper snickered.
The only bit of individualism…collage of famous heartthrobs
Most of the demigods face palmed.
The title was lurid red…steal your women! Ha-ha!
Everybody snickered. Piper was groaning.
"That sounds like a hilarious poster." Annabeth said.
"Uh huh." Piper nodded.
It was the most ridiculous poster…it was a picture of her dad.
Aphrodite was a little red.
"I feel so bad for you right now." Silena chuckled.
"That would be awkward. I mean literally." Piper groaned.
She turned away so no on…down and they wouldn't notice
"They'd notice the torn picture but they might not notice that you tore it." Aphrodite chuckled.
She tried to look busy…almost scared of her.
Jason sighed.
She couldn't really blame him. She'd been glowing pink.
Everybody snickered.
"Anybody would be scared of that." Clarisse snickered.
"You haven't seen Aphrodite at her angriest." Ares said
"I don't think I want to know how you do." Frank said. Ares and Aphrodite turned red.
"But seriously, I don't think anybody is scarier than that. Like when she threatens some love stuff." Ares said. Aphrodite smirked.
"Well she's seen us get scary. Just maybe not the scariest." Percy said, shrugging, gesturing to him and Nico.
"And that." Aphrodite added. "That gave me nightmares for like two days." She said
"You can't say that you didn't deserve them." Nico said. Aphrodite said
"I get the point. Got it long ago." She said
"Yeah, me too." Ares sighed.
Percy and Nico smiled. Poseidon and Hades gave their kids side hugs. Jason was grinning.
"But now back to the point. Piper was glowing pink." Leo said. Piper groaned. Everybody laughed or chuckled good naturedly.
"'Scuse me," said a voice…welcome to Cabin Ten."
Aphrodite smiled.
"Like I said. Mitchell has always been a good guy." Silena smiled. Piper had a small smile too and nodded.
"I wonder what happens to the guys when they get claimed." Leo said
"Their hair gets like the posters and they glow too with their features of the face and torso becoming sharper and their clothes snap to something good. Its pretty similar to the girls." Silena said. Leo nodded.
A girl with blond pigtails…Good luck on your quest!"
"That's really nice of her." Piper smiled
"You remember them?" Silena asked. Piper nodded.
"They're friends." She said.
Aphrodite looked proud of Mitchell and Lacy.
Lacy dumped the things…some pretty embarrassing things.
"She's a freaking tyrant." Percy said angrily.
"Bitch." Piper muttered. Aphrodite raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. She was not liking what Drew was doing at all. They were her siblings not servants. Maybe she should take away the charmspeak…
Piper, you're the first person…Drew in charge since August.
"Drew hasn't done a single quest. If Piper completes the quest then she can challenge Drew to a duel which I don't think she will take but I can't be sure of that. Though that won't be possible now but Piper could take the position and then hand it over to Mitchell or now I could hand it over to him." Silena said
"Percy's right. Drew's a tyrant as far as tyrant head counselors go." Piper said
She decided to make some…You'd better make another pass."
"Yeah, he forgot to pick you up." Nico spat.
The demigods nodded in agreement.
Piper glanced toward the bathroom… but finally he snapped, "Fine."
"She is really getting on my nerves now." Silena said.
Drew smiled. "See, Piper…Titan War, helping the enemy."
Silena looked down. Beckendorf growled.
"I swear. This person. I will-" Clarisse started, making some violent gestures which Ares wouldn't deny, made him proud. Aphrodite looked like she disagreed with that but she couldn't admit that Drew was really being a bitch at the time.
"Need help?" Travis asked
"Yeah, we could arrange some solid pranks." Connor continued. The demigods nodded in agreement.
Clarisse nodded.
Drew smiled all sweet…"She was a hero."
"Say it louder for the Drew in the back, Mitchell!" Percy whooped
"She'll punish him again." Silena said
"Well we already know she's a huge jerk. We can still cheer for Mitchell." Nico said
"Mmm-hmm," Drew said…her dad's kidnapping, was there?
"No, I don't think so." Aphrodite said
"It's too bad you won't be…Piper felt ashamed of herself.
"No. I think Drew deserved this one. Besides she asked who your dad was. Now let her enjoy the answer." Rachel said.
Everybody turned and looked…that other dude in that movie?"
"What an identification. The dude who killed the other dude." Lee said. Everybody snickered.
"The cabin is practically fangirling and fanboying over her dad. That's got to be awkward." Michael said. Piper had a weird expression on her face and nodded.
"He is so hot for an old guy…lunch with movie stars?"
"Bombarded with questions." Nico said
"To be honest, its 'yes' to all." Piper sighed.
Have you had your rite…was an embarrassing topic.
"It is NOT embarrassing. I'm so done with these people. How can they even-?" Silena said, looking angry.
"What is the rite of passage?" Will asked
"You'll find out. I didn't do it." Silena said
"You didn't?" Aphrodite asked curiously.
"No! I'm not going to break Charlie's heart for practically nothing." She said. Aphrodite sighed and nodded.
"It's true love." She said. Beckendorf was very confused now but he was still glad that Silena said what she did and that Aphrodite saw their love as true love. He gave Silena a small kiss and the demigods and gods smiled and a few demigods cheered.
"The rite of passage for an…yourself worthy of Aphrodite."
"Tell me they're joking." Percy said
"No. They enjoy stuff like that." Silena said.
"That is terrible." Annabeth said
The demigods shook their heads in disgust. Even some of the gods had similar expressions.
Piper stared at the crowd to see…you can be just like Mom!"
"Forget it. I don't care if I'm accepted or not. I'm not doing this thing." Piper said
"It's fine if you don't. Some people will be completely okay with it. Drew's the one hyping things up. They were all okay when I was there." Silena said "A good head counselor matters." She said. Piper nodded.
"I've just lost hope for humanity at that. Well at least for people like those." Nico said
"Forget it!" Piper yelled…stupid rite of passage!"
The demigods cheered for Piper.
"You tell them!" Jason cheered. Piper grinned.
Which of course gave Drew…things ended tragically for her."
"Screw you!" The demigods shouted.
That's not true!"…changed into a better traveling outfit.
"I really like Lacy and Mitchell." Katie said. Everybody nodded in agreement.
The hand-me-downs weren't… had ever thanked them for anything
"They most definitely deserve gratitude and respect." Piper said.
She also noticed that the King…now she was totally steamed.
"Yeah, that's got to be really frustrating." Silena chuckled.
"Hey!" Piper pouted. Silena chuckled at Piper.
When Drew spotted her…"She's a tyrant," Piper corrected
"Exactly." Percy said.
"You can think for yourselves…Aphrodite than this."
Aphrodite nodded and smiled.
"More than this,"…She's charm-speaking you."
"No. She's not charm speaking anybody. She's being right. And if she was charm speaking then everybody would just nod." Silena smiled.
The demigods grinned at Piper as well and some of the gods nodded approvingly.
"No," Piper said…stormed across the green
Aphrodite brushed a few tears from her eyes that she got because of the curse.
Not sure where she…swooping down from the sky.
"Done." Clarisse said
"I'll read." Artemis said.
