A/N- Hey peoples! Thanks to those who reviewed! Sorry it's been a while, I have been a little busy. Thanks for being patience! Thank you Lizzie and Grace for reading over this for errors. There still might be a few. Okay, here is chapter 3! Enjoy! :)

I do not own PJO or HoO, Rick Riordan does.

Chapter 3- I make an immortal friend….. great

"Kenzie….wake up..." a familiar voice says.

"Go away," I say as I curl into a ball.

"Fine. I have lemonade but I guess I can drink it."

I shoot up and hit my head on the top of a car.

"Ow. That hurt. Anyway, where is the lemonade? Give. It. To. Me."

"Ha-ha. Here have the lemonade; you know I would never drink it. It's too sour," Andy says while opening the truck door.

"Thanks," I say as I sling my bag on my shoulders and get out of the truck.

I take a long sip of the lemonade, relishing the taste. Andy holds out his hand and I take it. We walk up a very steep hill and come to a very large pine tree with a dragon curled around it. The dragon eyes me warily and I back away slowly.

"It's okay, Kenz. That's Peleus. He protects the Golden Fleece. He is a nice dragon," Andy says.

And to prove his point, he pulls me over to Peleus and puts my hand on his nose. Peleus leans up into my hand, sighing happily. I pull my hand away and grab Andy's hand again. Andy laughs and leads me past Peleus. When we enter the camp, I am spellbound. I freeze, even though Andy keeps walking. He turns back to me.

"I know it is a lot to take in but there is time for that later. You have to meet Chiron and the camp director," Andy says. I notice that he shuddered a little when he said 'camp director.'

'Oh well,' I think.

Andy pulls me along towards a big house-

"This is the Big House. It's where we have meetings and stuff like that."

'Well that name is fitting.'

We just got to the porch when I see a flash of something in the corner of my eye. I look over and then I crash to the ground. A jaguar is on top of me. One paw is pushing against my neck while the other is pressed against my chest. The jaguar changes into a girl. The girl growls at me.

"Stay away from Andy! He is mine!" The girl growls in my face.

I know that I should just nod my head and act scared but me being me, I just couldn't.

I did something that I don't think anyone else would have the nerve to do…

I laughed in her face.

"You think Andy and I are a thing?" I laugh some more. "That is the most ridiculous thing ever! Andy and I are just friends."

"Oh. Well then explain why you were holding hands?" The girl says as she helps me up.

"I was holding her hand for comfort, Amber," Andy says.

I laugh again," So this is Amber? Nice to meet you, I'm McKenzie but you can call me Kenzie. Andy talks about you all the time."

Amber blushes and takes Andy's hand.

"I'm sorry I attacked you," Amber says shyly.

"It's fine. It's not the first time it has happened."

I look at Amber. She has waist length honey-blonde hair. Her eyes were a reddish orange color like fall (or autumn). Amber skin was a faint yellow/tan color. Amber was wearing an aqua blue colored short jumpsuit. I looked closer and noticed that there was a jaguar pattern on the jumpsuit.

'How fitting,' I thought.

"I really hope we can be friends," Amber said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"I hope so too," I reply.

"Well, I hate to cut this short but we have to go," Andy gives me a look and I get the hint.

I nod and walk up the steps and knock on the door. I peek over my shoulder and see Andy giving Amber an 'I missed you' kiss. I giggle and look back at the door.

"Come in," voice says.

I walk in and come face to face with a centaur. I swallow and step back.

"Hello. You must be McKenzie. I am Chiron," the centaur-Chiron-says.

"Um…uh…you're a centaur…"

Chiron chuckles," I am aware of that, my dear. Now-"

"It's better than being called a pony, right?" a new voice said.

"Yes, Dionysus, it is. Now anyway, let's talk McKenzie. Come have a seat."

I walked over to the ping pong table in the room. I see a man in a jogging suit, with black hair, and a diet coke. I think it is Dionysius and I give him a curtsy.

"Thank you! See, Chiron? This is the kind of respect I deserve! Thank you…McKenzie is it?"

I nod my head and he continues.

"Well, McKenzie you and I are going to be great friends! I like you. Go ahead have a seat. You can call me Mr. D."

I sit down across from Mr. D and Chiron stands at the end of the table.

"Would you like something to drink McKenzie?" Mr. D asks me.

"No thank you, Mr. D. I have some lemonade. Oh and you can call me Kenzie or Kenz if you would like," I offer.

"Kenz…..I like it. Okay, let's get down to business. So, you are a demigod. You haven't been claimed yet but you should be claimed by the campfire tonight. Blah, blah, blah. Welcome to Camp, Kenz. Anything you would like to add, Chiron?"

"Actually, yes. You will participate in activities and training all summer. At the end of the summer you will get to choose if you want to stay or go home for the school year. I will have anoth- "Chiron gets cut off by the sound of a horn.

"Ah! It's time for lunch at last," Dionysus says. "Are you hungry, Kenz?"

"Actually, yes I am, Mr. D. Do you know what they are serving?" I ask.

Mr. D chuckles," Anything you want, my dear. They serve your favorite foods."

"Oh. That's awesome!"

"Yes it is. Would you like to eat with Chiron and me?" Mr. D says while standing up from the table.

"It would be my honor and pleasure," I say as I stand up as well.

Mr. D meets me at the end of the table, the end closer to the door. He sticks out his elbow and I loop my arm through his. We walk out of the Big House with Chiron following behind. Campers start staring at Mr. D and me. I duck my head so my hair hides my face.

"Hold you head high, Kenz. You are walking with a god who is your friend. Be proud not embarrassed," Mr. D says.

"You are right," I say as I lift my head again.

We come to the dining pavilion and we walk over to a long table at the front. Mr. D pulls out my chair and I sit down. He sits beside me on the left. While everyone goes up to a fire pit, dumping part of their meals into it, I ask Mr. D why they are doing that.

"They are giving offerings to their godly parent," he explains.

I nod and look at my meal. I have a bacon cheeseburger and fries, to drink I have lemonade. I stand up with my plate and walk over to the fire pit. I dump my fries into it and think,' for my parent and Dionysus, my good friend.' I walk back over and sit beside Mr. D. He smiles at me and we all start to eat. Everything is nice and peaceful until I hear someone gasp. I look up but don't see anything but a faint rainbow colored light. Chiron stands up and tells me too as well.

"What is going on?" I ask.

"You have been claimed, my dear," Mr. D says.

"All hail, McKenzie Cooper, daughter of Poseidon, blessed by Athena, Dionysus, and Iris!" Chiron calls out.

'Oh boy…..here we go,' I think as all the campers bow in front of the head table.

A/N- Thank you for reading chapter 3. Please review. I hope you noticed that Kenzie has an obsession for...wait for it...lemonade. Were you guys surprised by the end of this chapter? I hope so. I will update soon! Until next time. Adios Amigos!
