"These are the cabins," Percy informed his new companions as they stopped in front of a group of cabins lined in the shape of an U. Naruto gasped, eyes practically sparkling as he took in the view. Sasuke merely grunted, reminding Percy of Nico if he were moodier and arrogant.

"Ne, ne, Percy," Naruto tugged on his shirt excitedly, "Why are all the houses decorated weirdly? Look, that one has barbed wire and weapons plastered all over the front door!"

"That's the Ares cabin. You two will stay in the Hermes cabin until we can determine who your godly parent was."

Naruto grinned and turned to Sasuke. "Hear that, teme? I've got a godly parent!" Then he frowned. "Though it was kinda rude to abandon me like that…"

Sasuke sighed. "You don't have a godly parent. We both entered through the so-called barrier without any trouble, and I remember both of my parents clearly." His gaze darkened, and he clenched his fists. "That person killed them. I saw them die with my own eyes. There's no way either of my parents could've been a god, so quit thinking that yours were."

Oh gods, Percy despaired, he's just like Nico when he found out Bianca died. Naruto looked a little crestfallen, then scowled at Sasuke.

"Well I don't know who my parents were, so they were definitely a god! Besides, maybe your godly parent replaced themselves with some normal human! Though," he grinned triumphantly, "I bet my godly parent's wayyyy cooler than yours."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "Excuse me?"

Naruto's grin threatened to split his face.

"You heard me, bastard."

The taller boy opened his mouth to retort, but Percy interrupted their petty staring contest as he cleared his throat. Their heads snapped towards him.

"Listen," he began, "I'm not really good at resolving fights, so please refrain from arguing with each other."

Naruto jutted out his chin defiantly. "The bastard started it."

"Hmph, as if. You were the one who boasted about himself with no evidence to back it up."

"Well, I wasn't the one who took the bait!"

"Took the bait? You moron, I was responding to your blatant lie!"

"IT'S NOT A LIE, YOU JERK! MY PARENTS ARE DEFINITELY GODLY AND WAYYY MORE SUPERIOR THAN YOURS!"

"YOU—"

"GUYS." Percy felt like his head was going to explode. These kids were so disobedient, he was going to tear out his hair in frustration.

Just as he was about to give up, though, a thought popped into his head.

"YOU STUCK UP JERK, I'M GONNA—"

A loud shwing! cut through the air as Percy uncapped his pen, and the arguing pair immediately stopped and turned towards the sound. Percy smiled.

"Finally. Now, as I was saying—"

"Woah," Naruto cut off, gaping at the sword. The bronze blade glinted in the sunlight, as if it was deliberately showing off. "Where'd ya get that?"

"It was a gift." Percy cleared his throat again, and capped the pen. With a shink, the sword disappeared and the handle morphed back into a ballpoint pen. Naruto gasped in awe. "But anyway, I'll tell you more if you behave."

Naruto pouted, but eventually gave in. "Fine, fine."

As he led them towards the cabins, Naruto oohed and ahhed at the unique structure designs, while Sasuke merely glanced at them with a disinterested aloof expression on his face.

Just as they were heading towards the Big Three's cabins, however, a familiar voice stopped Percy in his tracks.

"Hey, Seaweed brain." Annabeth smiled warmly at him. "You look tired. Should I show the new kids the rest of Camp Half-Blood?"

Percy laughed. "I don't think you would want to do that. No offense, but," he jerked his thumb at Naruto, who was eyeing them suspiciously. "Those kiddos are almost even rowdier than the Stoll twins."

Annabeth blinked, then snorted. "Looks like you've finally found your long lost family."

"Hey!"

"Are you two…" Naruto squinted at them. "...Dating?" He put in a lot of emphasis on that word, as if it were some sort of forbidden term.

Annabeth tilted her head to the side, expression unreadable. "What makes you think that?" She asked calmly.

Naruto grinned, triumphant. "You guys are! You're totally dating! Look, bastard, I'm such a genius!" He puffed out his chest in pride, and Sasuke rolled his eyes dramatically.

"No, brainless. Anyone could tell." He huffed, crossing his arms in that I'm far more superior than you and we both know it way.

Naruto harrumphed. "You're just saying that because I'm wayyyyyy better than you, jerk!"

"Dead last."

"Bastard!"

"Moron."

"Stuck up!

"Idiot."

"Teme!"

"Usuratonkachi."

"You—you—!"

"Hmm?" Sasuke smirked at him. "Cat got your tongue, dobe?"

"ARRGHHH!" Naruto clutched at his head. "I'M GONNA KICK YOUR A—"

"OKAY," Percy smiled forcefully, gripping his pen. "Moving on, the Big Three cabins." He turned to Annabeth, an exasperated expression displayed on his face. "See what I mean?" He whispered to her.

She simply laughed. "Now you understand what it was like for me to deal with you when you first arrived at Camp Half-Blood, huh?"

"We can hear you, you know," Sasuke reminded her, deadpanning.

Annabeth sent a knowing look at Percy. "You know," she smirked, "The asian kid sure looks and acts like Nico, don't you think?"

Percy paused, then stared at them. Then, slowly, he felt a grin creep onto his face. "And Naruto looks like Will."

Said blond boy who was busy gawking at the looming pillars of Zeus' cabin turned to blink owlishly at him. "Huh? What about me?"

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "What's the point of saying this?" He demanded, glaring at them.

Annabeth merely snickered. "He even glares like Nico when he was twelve."

"Oh gods," Percy breathed. "You're right."

"What?" Naruto bounded over to where they stood, eyes wide in curiosity. "What are you guys laughing about? Come on, tell me!"

Annabeth grinned. "Only if you promise to behave."

He deflated a little, then puffed up his cheeks. "I swear on my life, 'tebayo!"

"Teh-bye-yoh?" Annabeth raised a brow at that, but shrugged it off. "Alright." She turned to Percy with a smug look on her face. "See? Wasn't so hard."

He scowled. "Easy for you to say."

Quickly, Percy interrupted their conversation, seeing as it was most likely going to get worse considering how petty Sasuke could get. "Well then, onward!" He clapped his hands together, and promptly started walking towards the Zeus and Hera cabins in strange, jerky movements that clearly indicated his patience. Which was none.

Sasuke scowled again (Let's be honest though, is that not the only thing he ever does) and shuffled after him, back hunched and hands shoved in his pockets. Naruto, who genuinely seemed incapable of reading the atmosphere, didn't notice Percy's frustration whatsoever and bounced along merrily.

"Right," Percy began, attempting once again to sound cheerful and friendly, "So. The one up front is Zeus's cabin. The one to the right would be Hera's. You do know your Greek gods, I'm assuming?"

Silence.

"Greek?" Naruto stared blankly at him.

Sasuke snorted derisively. "Idiot. He said Greek gods, so it's probably some sort of religion." He flicked his gaze over to Percy. "Isn't that right?"

Percy sighed. "Yes. Can I please continue, without stopping just this once?"

Naruto opened and closed his mouth like a dying fish, before finally managing a sheepish, "Oh, yeah sure."

"So, since you too don't know about Greek mythology, I'll try to keep this explanation simple and short.

Greek mythology is a sort of belief, as Sasuke said. We believe in many gods, but there are twelve main deities, also known as the Olympians. Their names are Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter, Hermes, Hera, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Athena, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, and Dionysus. The original god that was replaced by Dionysus was Hestia, the goddess of the hearth. There's another god named Hades, but he was kinda cast aside by the Olympians because he creeped them out or something." The ground rumbled a little at that, and Naruto squeaked, jumping a little.

Percy snorted. "Don't worry, gods do that all the time. Don't mind it."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Scaredy cat."

"WHO'RE YOU CALLING A SCAREDY CAT, YOU—"

"ANYWAY. Now, the gods are powerful beings," he lowered his voice to a whisper, "And very petty ones at that, so naturally they have a lot of enemies. Monsters that spawn in Tartarus, our own version of Hell, hold a deep grudge against the gods, but they can't attack them directly. It's against the rules. So, out of spite, they attack the children of the gods instead; demigods. That's where you guys come in. 'Course, we don't even come close to being as powerful as the gods, so it's obvious that we make very easy and delectable targets. But at Camp Half-Blood, we're essentially providing shelter to demigods and we train them so they can protect themselves and get a better shot at surviving.

However," Percy added, watching Naruto's expression scrunch up in confusion. "We aren't the only camp out here. If you head all the way down to Sacramento, California, you'll find another camp; Camp Jupiter, hidden within the city. They're a Roman camp, which is a slightly altered, younger version of the Greek gods."

"So," Naruto rambled, "You, uh…"

Sasuke facepalmed. "You brainless moron, did you not hear a word he said?"

Naruto's face flamed in humiliation, "YES I DID, BASTARD! HE SAID, HE SAID…" After a few unsuccessful attempts to remember what Percy had told them, the defeated boy trailed off and glowered at the ground.

As he watched the two with barely contained exhaustion, Percy came to a very important conclusion that would forever change his life: If he ever got married, he would never, ever, have kids.

Sasuke exhaled. "Alright, listen. What the civilian—" Percy twitched at the title, "—means is that we're supposed to fight monsters. Or at least, we're supposed to if we were demigods." He shot a pointed look at the son of Poseidon.

"I knew that!" Naruto bluffed, turning his head the other way.

"I'm sure you did."

"Exact—are you mocking me?"

"Of course not." Sarcasm was practically dripping in his voice.

"Okay, you guys know the basics, go around and interact with others, have fun, I'll be going, bye!" With that, Percy rushed out of the Zeus cabin, sweating as the indignant screeching from Naruto echoed through the hall. For a kid that small, he sure could scream. If Percy were blind, he would probably mistake the boy for a harpy.

As he ran, Percy had one singular thought in his mind. I'm going to kill Mr. D.
