I know the chapter is a day late, but there was no way for me to update yesterday. Enjoy ;)
It was almost time for the demigods to come to Olympus and all of the gods were putting the finishing touches to the throne room's decorations when there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." Poseidon headed for the door and when he opened it Hades was standing there awkwardly with Nico behind him.
"You couldn't stay away could you?" Poseidon asked tauntingly.
"Nico convinced me to come."
"No I di-" Nico was cut off when Hades glared at him. "Do you want your face rearranged?"
"No..."
"Okay then, shut it."
When Hades walked in Zeus said, "I didn't expect you to actually come."
"Me neither," Hades told him, "But Nico here wouldn't shut up about it so I figured I'd come to your silly party."
Nico was about to say something when Hades gave him a look that said 'run your mouth again and see what happens'.
"Tell me again, why did we invite the demibrats?" Dionysus asked.
"Because," Zeus said, "They think we pay no attention to them at all and that we don't care because we don't visit them."
"Yeah what's your point?"
"My point is, if we invite them here then they'll stop claiming we neglect them."
"Most of you do neglect them," Athena pointed out.
"No we don't. We just have too much godly business to handle here in Olympus to go visit them."
"If by godly business you mean sitting in the throne room gossiping then sure."
"Why do you have to be so annoyingly smart?"
"Why do you swallow pregnant women?" Athena was referring to when he swallowed her mother Metis before she was born.
"Oh I give up."
"Pregnant people don't seem like they'd taste that good," Poseidon commented.
"Well if you add a sprinkle of salt and pepper and some cheese then they're actually very tasty," Zeus told his brother.
"Ew you sicko!" Hera looked at him in disgust.
"Let's not start arguing, I hear the demigods coming," Demeter told them, "Now let's sit on our thrones and look all serious and intimidating."
They quickly got on their thrones and their facial expressions turned serious. When the huge doors to the throne room opened a group of demigods walked in. At first they were looking around at all of the stuff, but then they approached their parent's thrones.
"Oh look, the mistakes are here," Dionysus said nonchalantly.
All of the demigods gave him a mean stare because they didn't like being called mistakes, but most of them were afraid to say anything to him.
"His face is a mistake," Percy whispered to Annabeth who giggled.
"Aren't we suppose to be having a Christmas party? Why are you all just sitting there?" Travis asked.
"We will get to the party after we open the presents," Aphrodite answered him.
The gods gave up on trying to look serious and everyone rushed to the Ginormous Christmas tree.
"You will not believe what I got you," Demeter told her daughter Katie, "An entire new cereal collection!"
Katie tried to look excited, but this was the fifth year in a row that her mother got her cereal for Christmas.
"You don't look happy," Demeter observed, "But that's why I got you a...new car!"
"Really?"
"Yes, here it is!"
Katie's new car looked like a normal black convertible, but it had huge cheerios instead of tires.
"I cereal-d your ride!"
Meanwhile...
Percy and Poseidon were opening Percy's presents.
"Guess what else I got you?"
"What?"
"Guess."
"How am I suppose to guess?"
"Okay I'll give you a hint. What's long hard and goes deep into wet places?
O.O
"Are you talking about what I think you're talking about?" Percy asked hoping his dad would say no.
"Yup."
"Are you crazy! Why would you get me that?"
"Gosh, I just got you a submarine. Calm down Percy."
Percy exhaled, "Oh, I thought you were talking about something else. Hey wait a second, I can breathe underwater, so I don't need a submarine."
"Well you can use it as an underwater house."
"True."
Athena and Annabeth were opening things too.
"A text book, a protractor, a calculator, a backup calculator, thanks mom!"
"And that's not all, I got you a new car!"
Athena led Annabeth to her new car and Annabeth jumped with joy. It was a silver bmw.
"But that's not it, it's a smart car, and it knows everything."
"So it's like google?"
"Like Google on steroids. You can ask any question and it answers you."
Annabeth decided to try it.
"Does Hera have issues?"
"Of course she does," the car answered.
So after everyone opened all of their presents the Christmas party actually started. Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades all made a dumb decision and got drunk. And we all know what happened last time they got drunk, but luckily no one ran off and got lost, they just made a fool of themselves in front of everyone.
Hades got on stage and grabbed the microphone that was connected to the karaoke machine. When Nico saw him he was hoping Hades wouldn't do anything stupid to embarrass him, but he didn't get so lucky.
"Nobody's perfect, I gotta work it! Again and again til I get it right! Nobody's perfect you live and learn it!" Everyone stood there shocked that Hades was singing a Hannah Montana song.
"Hey I wanna join." Zeus walked on the stage with Hades and got the other microphone.
They sang Hannah Montana songs while demigods and gods recorded them so they could watch it and laugh later.
"Come on Demeter!" Hades called out, "Get up here and shake your fruit loops!"
"I'll be just find shaking my fruit loops down here away from you two drunk idiots."
Katie kind of wanted to know what exactly they meant by fruit loops, but she decided she'd probably end up being scarred for life if she found out.
Poseidon came up on stage and Zeus and Hades were booty dancing in the background.
"Let's slow the music down for the ladies," He slurred.
He got a microphone and said, "This one's for you Athena."
O_O …
Music started playing in the background and Poseidon started singing.
"My love, there's only you in my life, The only thing that's right. My first love, you're every breath that I take, You're every step I make. And I, I want to share, all my love with you, No one else will do. And your eyes, they tell me how much you care. Oh yes, you will always be, my endless love." (A/N:if you've never heard the song, listen to it, it's called my endless love)
Everyone looked at Athena like they expected her to do something, but she just stood there awkwardly. Poseidon didn't seem to notice that he was making her uncomfortable because he was still singing, and Zeus and Hades were still booty dancing behind him.
Athena couldn't believe he was doing this. They were working hard at keeping their relationship a secret and then he goes and sings love songs to her in front of everyone, but hopefully no one would suspect anything and they'd just think he was doing this because he was drunk.
When he was done singing that song she could relax again because no one was staring at her.
The attention was off of her, but Poseidon wasn't done yet, right before he walked off stage he said, "Happy holidays and safe sex everyone!"
All of the demigods in the room stared wide eyed at him.
"What did that have to do with Christmas!" Hera asked him.
"Christmas? I thought it was Valentine's Day. But oh well, they need to know." so Poseidon kept talking about it and made everyone feel awkward.
"When a man and woman love each other they-"
"la la la la la! I can't hear you!" Artemis put her fingers in her ears not wanting to hear another word about that subject.
"Please make him stop!"
"I can't listen to this anymore!"
"It burns!" Percy shouted.
"Well if it burns you should go to a doctor," Poseidon told him.
"I wasn't talking about that, gosh dad you are so creepy!" Percy got away from Poseidon as fast as he could after saying that.
"If there's a Valentine's Day party here, I'm not coming," Travis said.
"Agreed." Connor agreed.
Poseidon's talk managed to run everyone out of the throne room so he stood there alone.
"They're rude."
Review, or I'll get Poseidon to give you a talk mwahahaha!
