"Ah ha. Finally done." Percy grinned proudly.
Poseidon tried looking at the list but Percy hid it.
"Nope." He smirked. Poseidon pouted at him and Percy snickered.
"Skydiving first?" Jason asked
"No. We do this the fair way too." Nico said. Jason sighed. The Stolls tossed him the dice. One of which exploded. Everybody burst out laughing.
"Yikes. That was the wrong dice." The Stolls grinned sheepishly. Jason sighed and wiped the ash from his hand. The Stolls handed him another set of dice.
"I'm sitting the dice roll out this time. I'll go with Nico's roll." Hazel said.
"Ahh." The others said but nodded.
"Okay, the intense moment of decisions starts right now!" Travis announced. Everybody snickered. Jason rolled the dice.
"Nine." He said. Percy rolled the dice.
"Ten." He grinned.
"Eleven!" Nico whooped.
"Again!" The demigods said. Nico grinned proudly.
"Eight." Thalia said
"Well this is interesting. Nico and Hazel go first, then me and then Jason and Thalia. That's the exact order in which Hades, Poseidon and Zeus were born." Percy said
"Nicee." Nico grinned.
"So what are you planning?" Hades grinned at Nico and Hazel
"You guys remember the roller coaster?" Nico asked. His cousins nodded and shuddered.
"There's an even scarier one. That's where we're going today." Nico smiled. They shuddered and their eyes widened.
"Frick you, Nico." Percy grumbled good naturedly. Nico smirked.
"Hey, Chad." Nico said, going to the satyr in charge.
"Ah, Nico. The scariest one right?" Chad asked. Nico nodded.
"Oh that's quite a thrill." Chad said. This didn't please many.
"Exactly what I'm looking for." Nico grinned.
"All right. So one ticket for each right?" Chad asked. Hazel nodded.
"We're screwed." Percy said
"Oh dear, this is just the beginning." Nico said. Percy pouted at him.
'Strap up everybody." Nico said
"Whoa. I'm just in it for the slides." Triton said. Amphitrite nodded in agreement.
"Get in dad." Percy said to Poseidon who sighed and dragged himself.
"It might be fun. Chill. But even I'm freaked." Percy said and strapped himself in the seat next his dad.
"I'm excited." Hades said. The younger gods nodded. The air gang shook their heads.
"Not excited." Zeus said
"Okay so all of you are safely strapped." Chad said. "Off you go." He said and the roller coaster sped up.
Poseidon was screaming in a high pitched voice. Percy was trying not to laugh and scream. Zeus was trying to not shout either and Thalia and Jason were full on screaming. Nico was cheering happily and so was Hades. Hazel was just enjoying. The younger gods were whooping and giving out especially high pitched screams at the jump scares.
"Well that was way better than before but way spookier." Percy said as they got up.
"That was traumatizing." Poseidon said. Zeus nodded in agreement. Hades smirked at his brothers.
"How come you didn't scream?" Nico asked Percy
"I did but it wasn't heard that much and I swallowed most of them, thinking about my precious vocal cords." Percy said. Everybody burst out laughing at that.
"Well now you get a chance for revenge." Jason said
"You guys have the ultimate one because you're last." Nico said
"First time, being last is fun." Thalia smirked.
"I've got two adventures for you all so you can go before me if you want." Percy said
"Fine." Jason grinned.
"Oh this is going to be fun." Zeus smirked
"Not even a bit. I am not going to enjoy it." Thalia shuddered
"It's safe." Jason said gently.
"I'm just having mixed emotions right now." Percy said
"I have one. Which is not excitement." Poseidon said. Hades nodded in agreement.
"Sky diving's fun." Hermes said
"You've done it before?" Jason asked. Hermes grinned and nodded.
"Let's go." Jason clapped his hands.
"So have you understood the positions?" Olive asked, she was the cloud nymph in charge of skydiving. The demigods and gods nodded. The goddesses did not want to participate and even Triton was down with them. Piper wanted to sky dive and so did Leo and Beckendorf however Hephaestus and Aphrodite were down. Even Tyson didn't feel like participating in the sports and rides.
"Okay then, here are your suits." She said and handed them the clothes. They went in the changing rooms and quickly changed.
"The parachutes will open magically right?" Travis asked. Olive nodded.
"Okay great." Connor said
"So in you go." Olive smiled happily and guided them all to the planes.
"This is anxiety inducing." Poseidon said. Hades nodded.
"It's exciting." Zeus said
"We'll see if you're excited in the water slides." Poseidon said. Zeus glared at him.
"For once, can we not bully each other?" Hades asked.
"Fine." Poseidon said. Zeus grumbled but nodded.
"So you'll be thrown out in groups and I'll be with all of you for very rare emergencies." Jason said. Everybody nodded.
"Okay so, Hermes gang first." Jason said. Hermes, Chris, Connor and Travis got up eagerly, winked at their friends who whistled and they jumped out of the plane. Jason jumped as well.
"Damnn." The demigods and other gods said as they saw them in the sky. They couldn't hear the Hermes gang but were sure that they were whooping and cheering.
After some time, Jason came back to the plane, grinning.
"They had fun." He said. Everybody nodded.
"Apollo gang and Ares gang." Jason said
The Apollo kids grinned and so did Apollo. Ares and Clarisse were grinning widely too. Frank looked nervous but Ares told him that it was going to be fun and Hazel gave him a reassuring look.
"Lets goo!" They all shouted as they jumped out of the plane along with Jason.
"YEAH WHOO!" The Apollo gang was cheering. The Ares gang was also whooping. Frank decided to stay quiet but even he was having fun.
"Oh gods." Hades muttered as the demigods and gods in the plane saw the two gangs in the sky.
Thalia's face was paler than Nico's. Percy must have noticed this.
"Hey Thals, if you don't want to do it then you don't have to." He said
"No I need to. Have to face the fear." Thalia shook her head. Percy nodded and gave her a small reassuring smile.
"All right guys, you're up." Jason grinned as he came back up. Percy rubbed his face and Nico stretched a little. Everybody left walked to the opening.
"See you downstairs." Percy smiled to his dad.
"See ya, dad." Nico said to Hades. Hazel smiled at him too. Poseidon and Hades exchanged looks and jumped. They went down screaming.
Leo was looking stoked and so was Beckendorf. Piper was looking quite excited too. Castor, Pollux, Dakota and Reyna grinned. They all jumped.
Jason gave Thalia a reassuring hand squeeze and Zeus gave her a small smile. The two of them jumped and Thalia gave a scream but Zeus gave her a reassuring look. Jason chuckled and jumped down.
Jason went and stayed next to Thalia and Zeus though he kept eyes on everybody. He had alerted the wind spirits to tell him if anybody was in trouble during the skydiving.
Zeus was cheering and even Thalia was smiling a little. Jason was full on grinning even though he had done this before.
Percy actually found himself to be enjoying. He enjoyed actually flying in the sky instead of just looking at it, fearing that he would get blasted if he tried to fly. He liked the way the wind flapped on his face.
Poseidon was not having as much fun as Percy. When he finally reached Percy, his son gave him a smile with a raised eyebrow to ask if he was enjoying. Poseidon shook his head.
"It's going to be okay, dad!" he shouted over the sound.
"Enjoy it. Look around!" Percy said. Poseidon followed what Percy said and did feel a little better.
"Follow me." Percy said and sped downwards. Poseidon's eyes widened but he followed Percy. Then he actually looked around. His nerves calmed down with the wind. Nico and Hades were close by. Poseidon looked at Hades and both of them had wide eyes but this time it wasn't because of nerves, it was because they were actually enjoying now.
Nico and Percy grinned at each other. Then Thalia and Jason went to their level. Percy and Nico grinned at Jason who grinned back. Thalia was just not speaking. She had wide eyes as she looked around and looked mesmerized. Her cousins grinned at her enjoyment and theirs.
Zeus went to level of Poseidon and Zeus. He grinned at the two of them and Hades and Poseidon actually managed small smiles as well.
When they all reached the ground, Nico and Will hugged each other and cheered. Percy gave a hug to Annabeth and was grinning widely. Thalia still had wide eyes when she landed. Artemis understood that she had enjoyed and smiled. Reyna landed and grinned. Dakota, Castor and Pollux whooped together. Hazel grinned at Nico who grinned right back. Leo and Piper were whooping. Then the Apollo gang and Hermes gang cheered. Soon all the people who had skydived were cheering and whooping. Even Thalia and Zeus. Jason was grinned widely.
"So had fun, dad?" Percy asked, grinning.
"Okay yeah. It was good." Poseidon admitted.
"Well surprising for me too. I had fun." Percy said. Percy gave Poseidon a half hug.
Nico raised his eyebrows at his dad.
"Yeah, it was good." Hades admitted. Nico smiled
"We had fun too." Hazel said.
"My turn now." Percy grinned.
"So in this ride, you basically go down that, it gets closed later on but it's transparent so you don't feel claustrophic and then it leads you into an aquarium. Like there are two glass tanks on either side of you and above which contain sea animals. The animals can't come to your side. You just pass through the tunnel." Noah, the merman explained. Everybody nodded.
"That sounds kind of scary." Hades said
"Sounds? Look at the size of that slide." Thalia said to him. Zeus and Hades looked up and the color drained from their face.
"This is taller than last time." Nico said
"I said it would be. You're going to like it." Percy said, grinning.
"I'm up for this, all right." Leo grinned. Triton high fived him.
"I'm eager too, to be honest." Jason said. Poseidon was grinning. Hades wasn't looking too pleased.
The Apollo gang went first. They all came down cheering and grinning, one by one. The Hermes gang had the same reactions. Leo was whooping as well. So were the other demigods and younger demigods.
"So next up, Uncle Hades, Nico and Hazel. Up you go." Percy grinned. The three of the climbed. Hazel went first, grinning. She came out of the tunnel, awed. Nico went next and even he had a small smile when he came out. Hades went next and was not cheering but his face eventually eased and when he came out, he looked relaxed.
"Thalia, Jason and Zeus." Percy said. The three of them went up. Thalia went first. She screamed a little but just at the first. When she came out of the tunnel, she was sighing and had a small smile. Jason went down, cheering and came out grinning. Zeus went down, he wasn't looking happy but when he came out, he gave a small nod and had a small smile.
The sea gang went next. Even Amphitrite wanted to the slide. Triton went down first, whooping and cheering at the top of his lungs and came out grinning. Amphitrite went down, smiling and came out smiling as well. Percy went next, whooping and cheering like a crazy person. He came out, cheering and grinning. Poseidon went next and had a similar experience as Percy.
"The next one is Zorb balls." Percy grinned.
"Oh, I love those." Katie said
"They're awesome." Travis agreed.
"Okay then. Lets go. So same order." Percy said. The Apollo gang went first. They were all laughing and tripping in the Zorb balls and when they reached back, they all high fived. Then went the Hermes gang who were pretty good at that came back and grinned. The Ares gang, Dionysus gang, Piper and Hephaestus kids went next.
The Underworld kids and Hades went next and they had some difficulty to stand up in the Zorb balls but managed to come back.
"That was kind of weird but fun." Nico said
"Precisely." Hades nodded. Hazel agreed as well.
The lightning gang (Zeus, Jason and Thalia) went next. They rolled for some time. Zeus was feeling quite weirded out in his hamster ball.
"Chill out dad." Jason and Thalia grinned and shouted from their hamster balls. Zeus nodded and gave a small smile that his kids were actually talking to him. They came back and had similar reactions as the Hades gang.
"That was weirdly fun." Jason chuckled.
The sea gang grinned and went next. They were grinning the entire way and high fived when they came back.
"Well today, was certainly a refreshing day." Poseidon said. Everybody nodded in agreement.
"I had fun." Percy said. All of the people who had done the sports nodded.
The sports had been great fun for the demigods and most of the gods, yes. Thalia faced her fear and actually enjoyed flying. It was also a lot of feelings for Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. They didn't hate each other's domains anymore or for that matter, they felt that they didn't have that much of irritation with each other either. Things might just get better between them.
Hestia was smiling widely as she saw most of her family laugh and smile once they finished the sports. The fates had definitely made a good choice to keep them all together. She thought about the demigods who had caring mortal parents that the demigods loved. She thought about asking the fates if they could be turned immortal as well. The fates must have heard the thought because the next second she held a note which said that the parents of the demigods who cared about this batch of demigods would be made immortal, just not all of them would be gods or goddesses.
For some reason, the note also said that Clovis from Hypnos cabin, Lou Ellen from the Hecate cabin and Butch from the Iris cabin would be made gods and goddesses too. The second council was going to be bigger than the Olympian council but it would be smooth as the demigods already had worked together and didn't have problems with each other. However, even Hestia's family was getting closer. A little slowly maybe for some but was still making progress. This thought made Hestia happier than she had felt in some time. After all, she was the goddess of the Hearth and the one of the main center part of the Olympian family
