Chiron clapped in his hands, while trodding to the middle of the pavilion. He glanced at the food on the tables. He saw waffles and pancakes everywhere, often with syrup or even chocolate. The Stoll brothers were drinking chocolate milk. He sighed deeply. He should have done this a long time ago.

'Alright, kids, I am here to announce something. Enjoy your waffles and pancakes one last time, because from now on this will be a healthy zone!' He said at what he thought was an afforative tone. He was met with complete silence. He looked around the pavilion again. People were gawking at him, like they didn't understand what he had just said. Like they actually had to start eating fruit and vegetables. A few Demeter children nodded, while taking a slow bite of cereal, granola or orange. They had gotten the speech from their mom over a million times - they were used to it.

'You mean... we have to start eating waffles without syrup, or something?' Someone said meakly, breaking the silence. Chiron shook his head. 'No. For breakfast, porridge with fruit would be better.' He heard a few gasps around the pavilion. 'If any of you want to know the knew, improved menu for the next couple of days, A lesson takes place on 11 A.M.' He trotted off.

A few seconds later, Dionysus materialised next to him. 'How long do you expect to keep this up?'

'Forever. It isn't that difficult, Nys, and these kids need to have better eating patterns.'

'I say you can keep it up for five days.' Chiron rolled his eyes.

'I can hear the faith you have in me in that sentiment. How difficult can it really be?'

'I saw the M&M's in your room, Chiron. If you can't even keep up...'

'Dionysus, what I do doesn't matter. You could please show that you at least think the sentiment is good? Apollo championed it!'

'Yeah, yeah, Apollo. Alright, the sentiment it fine, but I still say these kids are going to find a way to sneak snacks into camp quite easily. Bye!' He teleported away, leaving Chiron to sigh deeply. He had already taken steps to stop the kids from sneaking junk food into camp.

'Alright, of all the weird ideas Chiron has had over the years, this is probably one of the weirdest!' A girl yelled. Many others agreed.

'Don't fear!' Travis shouted back. 'Me and my dear brother have the solution! We'll sneak chocolate, soda, chips and cake into the Hermes cabin for days!' A few people cheered. Others knew that there was something more to that promise. After a few seconds, Connor confirmed their doubts: 'We'll sell every item for two dollars a piece!' A massive sigh went around the pavilion. Piper leaned closer to Lacy. 'Yeah, that is going to go up to five dollars a piece in three days,' she whispered. Lacy sighed and rolled her eyes.

'Obviously.'

Surprisingly enough, every single camper showed up to Chirons' health class. Not because they actually wanted to know what healthy food was - but because they wanted to know what was going to happen during this new regime.

'Alright, campers, I am surprised at your interest...'

'Yeah, Interest,' Percy whispered to Annabeth. Annabeth snickered. Yes, she ate healthy often, because that was the wise thing to do, but she enjoyed her pizza now and then. Chiron continued: 'I have put together a meal program that focuses on getting as much nutrients as possible into your bodies. You need it. The meal program is focused on Vegetables, Fruits and wholefoods. Don't worry, meat, calcium and other things won't be cut. You all need that too, after all...'

That was the part were most people started tuning out and tried to think of ways to get their own chips and Soda into camp before the Stolls would bankrupt them all. Percy thought he could buy some chips and popcorn when he was back at his mother's' place for a few days. Jason thought he might be able to fly things in. Piper had the idea to make a small stash under her bed, with chocolates that were often mailed to her by her dad, and other people had many other ideas.

Chiron was done with talking at half past twelve - lunch time. The horn sounded and everyone slowly walked over to the pavilion. Everyone got seated, but nobody dared to ask a nymph to give them some food, like they usually would. Chiron noticed how unusually quiet it was. Maybe they are just a little intimidated, he hoped. He noticed Dionysus was suspiciously nowhere to be found.

'Alright...' a few nymphs popped out after Chiron had said that. They brought plates to the campers. 'For lunch I had decided on whole wheat sandwich with middle aged cheese, chicken, and a side salad. Enjoy!' he sat down at the head table. He had been sitting there alone for hundreds of years, but now that he was trying something like this and he was used to Dionysus sitting next to him... man, he felt lonely.

The campers noticed it, and they tried to like their sandwiches, they really did. Some of them even thought it was tasty, but most people were still in the mindset of baked potatoes and slices of pizza, or at least dessert.

At the end of lunch, everyone quietly got to their training. Except for the people who had free time - they immediately got to work on getting their junk food into camp.

They also immediately realised that it was going to be more difficult than they thought. Chiron had somehow found the Stolls' secret stash, and had taken out all of the snacks he thought were unhealthy. There was now only low-salt popcorn and a bottle of Arizona ice tea with zero point eight grammes sugar in there. Connor looked at the empty box with empty eyes. Travis got a golden drachma out of his pocket. 'I think we need to call dad for some new stock.'

'I don't think they get it. I just want them to be healthy!' Chiron sadly told Dionysus, who was sipping a can of Cassis. The god of wine looked at him. 'I understand that, but maybe you should have just educated them on it before forcing them to eat nothing but vegetables.'

'Yeah, I thought that too. I haven't cut the unhealthy junk from dinner yet.' He shook his head. 'It'll be fine. They'll understand!' he trotted off, before Dionysus could talk back (Not that he wanted to).

A week later, the health craze was not yet over. But at this point, a lively black market in candy, snacks and soda was going on in camp. Almost everyone had sneaked stuff into camp or bought things from people who sneaked stuff into camp. Even the Demeter kids had bought chips from the Hermes kids. Dionysus knew what was going on - he just didn't care (Which is fair, I mean, he had to do that with his whole group of worshippers for years). Argus tried to monitor what happened, but he wasn't really made to track what snacks did and did not get eaten.

It got more difficult for the campers when Chiron decided to check if the pegasi and Hermes brought in snacks - because those places were where seventy percent of sneaked snacks came from. Yet, it didn't really work, because when you can talk to animals, get things from the air or charmspeak people into giving you things, stopping you is impossible.

Yet, on about the third day, Chiron started to notice that the dinner pavilion was emptying out. Less and less children showed up to dinner, lunch and breakfast, until only a few Demeter kids, some Aphrodite children, a few random others and a son of Hermes with Gluten allergy and lactose intolerance were still sitting in the pavilion.

On the eighth day, Chiron decided to check out what was going on, because it was getting ridiculous. He made a small trip past the cabins during the time they would usually eat. He heard suspicious sounds coming from the Hecate cabin. Now this was nothing new, because the Hecate cabin was Always producing weird sounds completely out of its own, but this sounded like... eating sounds.

He threw open the door without knocking. At least thirty people were sitting in a circle like it was a Dutch birthday party, eating pizza. Chiron looked at the kids. The kids stared back like deer in the headlights. Chiron sighed deeply. 'You know what? I give up. You all can come back to the pavilion for your regular food.' He trotted off.

He looked so incredibly defeated that the campers started to feel bad. That night, they all came to the pavilion, and ate what they Always ate. This time, the campers noticed how lonely Chiron looked, at the head table.

The next morning, the guilt was just... too much. Everyone, even the really small children, got something healthy and nutritious. Chiron noticed it, too. Partly because Dionysus had decided to join him again and he felt like pointing it out. 'Hey, they are actually eating fruit and porridge. I thought you said that you lifted the ban on unhealthy foods?' Chiron looked around.

'...You're right.' He felt a wave of joy washing over him. 'Dio, what if it actually worked?'

'Could be.'

Well, not completely. The kids still enjoyed their pizza and fries, but they often got an extra portion of veggies with that.

Chiron sighed deeply while he looked through his camp. Dionysus appeared right next to him. 'Say Chiron?'

'What's bothering you, Nys?'

'This was your plan right from the start, wasn't it?'

'What do you mean?' Dionysus looked at his collegue. He was dead serious.

'Never mind.' He disappeared again, just in time, because Juliet came running into the big house to complain about the Stolls stealing something from her and she needed to be told that she stole their pokemon cards the day before.
