A/N: Thanks, and in the spirit of tradition, here is me answering all of you in a huge run-on sentence. Thanks CrazyBlueOwl (but you have to laugh on Sunday. It rhymes with Funday!), Awesome, DrakonOwl21195 (nah, Percy's luck isn't that bad), thatinvisiblerose (Impractical Jokers: Lifting Spirits All Around), thedauntlessamity (even he can't believe it), ConnorPerson (don't let Annabeth hear you say that, Percy's in enough trouble already), Neutrino 2000, ChrystalineCD, GoldenRacehorse, Hispanicin, VexyMinion, and Sausage Dog (the chapter was started before you posted, so sorry).

Frank was the one up next, and he ended up with a spin that landed on 'Shave someone's mustache' (once again, Leo's spelling is corrected here).

"Okay, Frank, here's a razor," Leo said.

"Leo, this razor's blades are way too sharp. And they're made up of Imperial Gold," Frank said.

Leo shrugged. "No one said that it had to be safe."

"Who gave you this anyway?" Frank asked.

"It was from Ares, I think," Percy said. "I think he gave it to me hoping I'd cut my neck with it."

Once the razor had been replaced with a normal, less deadly one, Frank set out. Unfortunately, Frank didn't have a mustache of his own that he could shave, so he would need to find someone else.

Now, the problem as that they were in Camp Half-Blood and not Camp Jupiter, and so finding someone who was even old enough to have a mustache was a huge problem, let alone finding someone willing to get it shaved by a total stranger. The Satyrs didn't really have mustaches, only beards, only making his problem even harder.

As such, he realized that it was probably only the Ares cabin which would probably have someone who had something that could be called a mustache, he set out for it.

Now, in normal circumstances Frank would've just appealed to them as fellow children of Mars to let him shave someone's mustache, but the thing was that he wasn't allowed to tell anyone about the contest.

And so, that left only one option. And no, it wasn't the Percy Default Route of asking random people if they had a mustache they wanted shaved.

No, he was going to have to force someone to get their mustache shaved, much like Percy had done with Clarisse.

Now, I know what you're thinking. 'Frank is going to try and forcibly shave an Ares' kid's mustache? That can't possibly go well.'

Well guess what?

You.

Are.

Right.

While Frank would have, in this scenario, gone for laying a trap, a forty-five minute time limit meant that he would instead have to go fast and use the element of surprise.

Luckily, he found an Ares camper just outside the cabin, perhaps going for some errand. The guy was only a few inches shorter than Frank, and his facial hair was thick enough to qualify as a mustache.

Frank sneaked up on the guy, took his weapon, and then slammed him on the ground. He then pointed his own spear at him and said, "Your mustache or your life!"

"Choose the mustache!" Leo said. "Choose the mustache!"

"Oh come on now," Percy said. "Frank, everyone knows you're not going to kill off the guy."

Instead of whimpering though, the guy immediately attempted to kick Frank, which bounced off his knee. It hurt, but Frank then caught the guy's leg and put his spear away and took out his razor instead.

Just then, he heard the swish of something coming towards him and instinctively rolled away from the incoming javelin. In the process he had to let the guy go and saw that what looked like the entire Ares cabin were pointing weapons at him.

"Run Frank! Run!" Jason said.

Frank whirled around and began running away as fast as he could as the Ares cabin followed in pursuit.

Leo, Percy, and Jason watched as Frank just barely dodged the weapons that were hurled at him.

"So," Leo said, turning to the others. "Do you wanna catch a movie later?"

"Which one?" Jason asked.

"Regardless of which movie we see, let's all agree that we are not getting tacos from the Hermes cabin shack this time," Percy said.

"Yeah," Jason said. "We'll go for slushies instead."

"I don't want a slushie," Leo whined. "What happened to good ol' fashioned ice cream?"

"Dude, if we go for ice cream too we'll have to walk around the lake again to the opposite side," Percy said.

"They have ice cream at the slushie shop," Jason said.

"Yeah, but they only have vanilla. Who eats vanilla flavored ice cream?" Percy asked.

"So we'll walk," Leo said. "What's the big deal?"

"We might miss the movie then," Percy said.

"We'll leave early," Leo said, as if this should have been obvious.

"Yeah, but I have stuff to do before that," Percy protested.

While the others were busy in this super-duper important argument, in a sort of unimportant sideshow, Frank was evading his pursuers.

As they came near the Demeter cabin, Frank hid behind a bush and turned into a mouse. The Ares cabin members thundered on past him.

"I have a question," Leo said. "If Frank turns into an animal, and then turns back, why does he still have his clothes?"

Percy and Jason both stared at Leo funnily. "I think wearing a maid outfit has gone to your head, Leo," Jason said.

"That's not what I mean!" Leo said. "I mean, I just think that it's weird, that's all. It doesn't happen in Animorphs."

Frank waited. The guy whose mustache he had been trying to shave was the last one to thunder on past him, probably because he had been disoriented, and just then, Frank turned back and knocked the guy out cold.

And then, his mustache was shaved. The Ares cabin would swear vengeance, and that they would cut off a thousand heads for every strand of mustache hair lost.

Good thing they can't count.

Result: Frank passed.


And last was the Valdez himself, who had the misfortune to get 'Convince someone you're an alien' as his task.

"Well, that shouldn't be too hard," Frank said. "I'm sure half of Camp already thinks that you're an alien, Leo."

"What?" Percy said, drawing an exaggerated breath and widening his eyes dramatically. "Leo, you're not an alien? My whole life has been a lie!"

Jason pinched Leo's cheek. "All you have to do is take this mask off!"

While the others laughed, Leo said, "Okay, what counts as convincing someone that I'm an alien? Do they just have to say that they believe me?"

"No," Percy said, grinning as he resolved to make this harder for Leo, "It can't be in a joking or sarcastic way. It should be at least slightly serious."

Leo was then left completely panicking out. This wasn't a task that was suicidal- but it was one that was impossible! How was he going to convince someone that he was an alien? He didn't even know where to start or who he should try. Should he wear a costume? Or a tin foil hat?

Leo left the hideout equally confused and without any semblance of a plan whatsoever. The clock was ticking, and whatever he was going to do, he was going to have to do it fast.

But the question that came up and up again was, who was gullible enough to fall for it? Leo didn't think that even Travis Stoll would believe him…

And just then Travis Stoll walked on past him, and that was when Leo realized that he might as well try, all the while racking his brains for an idea that would work.

"So, the pink-haired mechanic returns! What up, homie?" Travis asked.

"You know, there was a time when I was sure that making fun of Leo for his pink hair was going to get old," Percy said. "Never have I been so wrong."

Just then, Leo got a sort of idea and decided to go ahead with it.

"Hey, just a bit of secret, between you and me, did you know that pink is my natural hair color?" Leo asked. "I just dye my hair yellow."

"Where's he going with this?"

Travis looked at Leo with disbelief. "Wait… no one's natural hair color is pink. So if your hair is pink normally…. then there can only be one logical explanation…"

Frank blinked. "I don't believe it guys. I think Leo just pulled this off."

"It can only mean that you're an anime character!" Travis said.

Leo was weeping internally.

Meanwhile, the others were laughing so hard they had all collapsed.

"No Travis," Leo said, going for a direct approach this time, "the truth is that I'm an alien."

"Pfft," Travis said. "Yeah right."

"You're doing really well, Leo," Percy managed to get out.

"No, it's totally true," Leo said. "I'm from a planet called um, Norwegia."

Travis looked at Leo funnily. "Okay Leo, I'm ready to believe a lot of things, but if you were an alien, what about the rest of the Hephaestus cabin?"

"All the Hephaestus kids are aliens," Leo said.

"Uh-huh," Travis said, not convinced at all.

"It's where all of our gadgets come from!" Leo said. "Think about it! The Earth doesn't have this kind of technology!"

"Last I checked, aliens don't exist," Travis said. "I mean, everyone knows that crop circles are just Demter kid's playing pranks and UFOs are what mortals see when the god's chariots pass over them."

"I'm sorry, but didn't Mars have life on it once?" Percy said. "I mean, before Zeus decided to host his sixteen hundredth birthday party there, and then they got into a huge argument and froze all the water?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, Percy," Jason said, eyeing him strangely.

"But-but," Leo began.

An alarm began beeping from Travis' watch. "Oh look! I need to go get those breath mints now. See ya later buddy!" He then patted Leo on the back and took off.

"Oh no," Leo said.

It took him ten minutes to realize that Travis had stolen his wallet.

With Leo's time running out, he realized that he was going to have to do something drastic, something extraordinary, if he was to stand a chance of winning. Sure, he might be laughed at, but it was his only hope for victory that he saw.

As so, he burst into the Hades cabin and saw that Nico was there.

"NicoIneedtoborrowyourclothesforawhilesopleasepleasejustgivethemwouldya?" Leo said in a single word without pausing, he didn't have much time left.

"What?" Nico asked.

"I need to borrow your clothes and some other things," Leo said.

"Uh, no," Nico said, getting up. "Dude, you can't just barge in and-"

"No time!" Leo said and pushed Nico aside, took everything he needed, and then ran out.

Once he was done tinkering with some spare parts he was going to use as an addition to Festus, he decided to set his plan into motion.

As evening was dawning on Camp Half-Blood, and a good portion of the campers were gathered making preparations for dinner. Suddenly though, there was a weird robotic noise coming out from somewhere and odd lights began flashing.

Out of a clearing, Leo walked out, dressed in what was either a super-cool outfit, or something more hilarious and humiliating than a maid costume depending on who you were. That is to say, Leo thought it was cool while almost everyone else thought it was hilarious.

"Greetings, Earthlings," Leo said in a super fake robotic voice. "I am… uh, Valdazor, come from the planet Pluto."

"Pluto isn't a planet anymore," a kid of Athena said.

"Nerd," Leo said. "And it is due to this grave injustice that I have come from my plane to tell you all that Hades is seriously… well, angry about this and demands that all of you immediately reinstate Pluto as a planet, or suffer the wrath of Hades."

"So that's why he took Nico's stuff and dressed up like that," Percy said.

"I don't think this will work though," Frank said.

"He just needs to get one person to say that they believe him," Jason pointed out.

Everyone started to laugh, but then there were screams. Leo turned around to see a bunch of very menacing looking skeletons.

"Well, that should get people's attentions," Percy said.

"I don't think he summoned them though," Frank said.

The skeletons surrounded Leo as Nico walked up to him to take revenge for the stolen stuff.

In the end, no one did admit that Leo was an alien.

Result: Leo failed.

A/N: Everyone's in the clear, except Leo who has a negative point.

Thanks for reading, and do please review, but I have bad news again. We'll be going on hiatus, for about a month or two because my sort of break is already over and I can't update constantly now. I might update a piece or two, but I can't make any promises. Yeah, I know it is like we were just back, but I can't help it really.
