Hi people! I've been wanting to do this for a bit now, and I finally got around to it! (Yay!) It's also the one month mark of me being on Fanfiction, and so I spent all morning working on this. If you are an avid reader of Impossible and Improbable, I am very sorry for not updating and I promise I will get to that soon, I just have a couple of other things I want to work on first. This is an idea I got about a debate between two of the worst weeds, and I got to admit, it's pretty weird. Right now it's just a one-shot, but if enough people like it and tell me that they like it, I might make it into a series about Hephaestus TV.

DISCLAIMER:
If I owned PJO and HOO I would be named Rick Riordan. My name is not Rick Riordan.

Caitlin turned on the television. Anything good? Hephaestus Reality, Nature with Pan, Aphrodite's Brides, Hephaestus Debate, Hephaestus Made, ooh, wait- Hephaestus Debate? That sounded interesting. She clicked on it.

"Hello everyone!" The host called out, flashing the audience a brilliant smile. "I'm your host, Phoebus Apollo, but just call me Apollo." He gave the audience the wink that made all teen goddesses swoon, and Caitlin could have sworn she heard a sigh. "These are the debaters, or as I like to call them, contestants, Miranda Gardiner and Josh Green!" The two teens sitting on either side of him gave small waves. Apollo began speaking again, "Today, these two Demeter children are going to be competing for," He gave a small drumroll, "The. Worst. Weed! Miranda, would you start us off with your opening statement? You have ninety seconds." Miranda gave a small smile.

"Hi. I'm Miranda Gardiner," She started. "I think that crabgrass is the worst weed because it grows incredibly fast and looks terrible. On top of that, it is nearly impossible to pull out and get rid of." She sat back down.

"Okay! Thank you, Mrs. Gardiner." Apollo said.

"Um... actually, it's Ms. I'm not married." The daughter of Demeter said, while Apollo ignored her.

"Josh Green, please present your opening statement." He said instead. Josh stood up.

"I'm Josh Green, and I think, between you and me, Creeping Charlie is the worst weed. Sure, it's hard to get rid of Crabgrass, but Creeping Charlie grows well, like a weed! Does Crabgrass do that?" The boy said with a smirk on his face. "Creeping Charlie, or Ground Ivy, takes over your gardens, one flower at a time."

"Thank you, Mr. Green!" Apollo motioned for Josh to sit down. "Next up, evidence for your claim! Who do you think will win? Take the poll at nemesis dot net slash quizzes double slash debate!" Miranda stood up to present her evidence.

"Do you want random, annoying, clumps of grass in your garden?" She stated. "No! Neither do I! Crabgrass is annoying, and it grows quickly, making it the worst weed in your garden. Believe me, I want fresh carrots and lettuce as much as you, and I can't get that when Crabgrass is taking it out!" Whoa. She was starting to get a little emotional. "Crabgrass seeds can stay in the ground for sixty years and each seed, when it is grown, can produce a hundred and fifty thousand new seeds. Bit much? I think so too. That's only one of the many reasons why Crabgrass is the worst weed." Apollo nodded his head thoughtfully.

"Okay Mrs. Gardiner," He said.

"Um- I already told you it's Ms, because I'm not married." Miranda tried to cut in.

"Thank you! Mr. Green? Rebuttal!" Apollo announced, ignoring Ms. Gardiner. "One minute on the clock, starting now!" Josh hastily stood up.

"Crabgrass?" He asked, sounding disgusted. "Seriously? Even I can do better than that." Miranda slouched in her chair while Josh tried to convince the audience that Crabgrass was good for the environment or something. "Crabgrass is easy to get rid of. Sure, it's hard to pull out of the ground, but you can just pour boiling water or vinegar over it!" He was getting emotional too now. "Also, Crabgrass likes sandy but not too sandy areas, with compacted ground. Does that sound like your garden? No!" It seemed like he could go on forever, but the host stopped him.

"Alright, Mr. Green," He said. "Your time is up! Would you please present evidence on why Ground Ivy is better?" Apollo winked again. Seriously, what was up with that guy?

"Now, Glechoma hederacea is a terrible, fast growing weed. It actually likes to be in your garden and is very aggressive." Josh cleared his throat. "In many places, it is considered an invasive species and people are trying to get rid of this fast growing plant. Notice I said trying, not doing. I feel like that should be evidence enough." He sat down. Caitlin rolled her eyes. What was wrong with that kid? 'No one is going to agree with you!' She thought.

"Thank you, Josh, but are you sure that it's enough?" Apollo asked as Josh Green nodded his head. "Well, Mrs. Miranda, a minute for your rebuttal starts now."

"It's Ms, not-" She seemed to notice that it was useless. "Oh, never mind. Glechoma hederacea is, in fact, a 'terrible, fast growing weed'. Your words, Josh, not mine. Although this is true, it is also true that you can pull it out easily." She proceeded to explain why Ground Ivy was actually not as bad as Crabgrass, finishing just at the one minute mark.

"Thank you Mrs. Gardiner," Apollo said. "I think we all know what the worst weed is now." Josh smirked. "And that will be announced after this message from our sponsor!" Caitlin was disgusted. What was the point of being a goddess if you didn't get commercial free TV? She turned off the television and went to her kitchen.

That's it! I know! It's pretty short, but I actually like it! Again, if you want me to make it into a series tell me in a review! If you are a little confused, Apollo is the host because he is good in the public eye and Hephaestus is not.

Godbye! (I did that on purpose)
