A/N: So I know it has been very long... so long that even I didn't fully remember what happened in the last chapter. But you guys did shower it with a lot of love, so thanks!

Thanks go to CrazyBlueOwl (don't die- there's more craziness where that came from!), Loving-fire, Hispanicin (don't worry, Leo will have his day), DrakonOwl21195, ConnorPerson, Guest, GoldenRacehorse (killer rabbits are great, right?), Vexy Minion, Guest (don't worry, we've returned), DecemberRome (cool username, thanks, and lets not do that to anyone in real life), thedauntlessamity (thanks for understanding), WinterWind14, imkawaiipikachu, thatinvisiblerose, (I'll see about the hair dying thing. As for your OTPs, I would like to insert them in somehow, and have thought of doing a segment where all of them watch the videos together, but I wanted to get a few more chapters done before that. Maybe after this round), LEPrecon elf holly short (I've always loved Artemis Fowl!), and WritingWithLibby (Percy gets his maid costume from... *ahem* let's just leave that undisclosed... and what made you think Annabeth was the one wearing it?).

Task Two: Each of the contestants will have to visit a Camp cabin and convince someone inside that the cabin is currently haunted by ghosts and will then have to perform an exorcism in there to get rid of it.

This is of course, a 'refuse you lose' round as well. Italics refer to the people back at the recording headquarters.


"Okay, so explain to me again how this works," Percy said. "No wait, first of all, tell me how you managed to rig the cabins."

"Oh that," Leo said. "You see, someone needed to fix a few things in the Camp's wiring, and of course, being the concerned citizen I am I volunteered and agreed to do it, and at the same time I bugged all the cabins. No- stop looking at me like that, I didn't bug the bathrooms okay, what is wrong with you people? Okay, so then, I put in a bunch of traps that I can remotely activate from here so they might think that the cabin is haunted. Of course, 'convince someone' here has the same guidelines from my last round where I was trying to convince people I was an alien."

"Good times, good times," Frank muttered under his breath.

Jason held up a hat with slips that detailed which cabin they would get. Only cabins with more than three current residents were chosen, so that limited the choices of course. "So who's up first?"

Percy decided to go first.

Percy sighed. He had been forced to dress up like a Christian bishop and was straddling along towards the Apollo Cabin. Not many of its members were there today, but Will Solace was there.

"So… Percy, did you lose a bet or is that a new fashion on Olympus?" Will Solace asked.

"Neither," Percy said, trying to sound as convincing as he could. "I was told that this cabin was haunted and needed someone to exorcise it."

"What?" Will asked. "You serious?"

"Yes," Percy said.

"Since when do you catch ghosts?" Will asked.

"Answer him Percy," Jason said. "Be as creative as you can be."

"Because Will, you know what they say," Percy said, "some people are borne exorcists, while others have exorcisthood thrust upon them."

"No one says that Percy," Frank said. "And exorcisthood is not a word."

"And that was very unoriginal, Percy, but C minus for the effort," Jason said.

"That isn't a saying Percy," Will said. "And exorcisthood is not actually a word."

"Percy, say that Will is wrong and you can hear crying from inside the cabin," Leo said.

"I will let you know that you're wrong," Percy said. "I put a petition to to have it added half an hour ago, and that saying was used in Half-Life 3. Also, I can hear mysterious crying coming from your cabin."

Leo punched in a few buttons on his control board. A faucet in the Apollo cabin, normally kept for washing bandages and such began dripping ever so slightly.

"Wow," Frank said sarcastically.

"Yeah, Leo, you managed to make a faucet leak a little," Jason said. "That is like literally the absolute opposite of spectacular."

"Just watch and learn," Leo said.

Will frowned. Not that he strained his ears, he could hear water dripping from the cabin, though oddly no sobbing. He entered inside and so did Percy.

"Percy, see that faucet over there that's leaking? Go over to it and ask it why it's crying," Leo said.

Percy walked over to the faucet, and, struggling to maintain a straight face, stroked it gently and asked, "Why are you crying?"

"Percy… are you actually talking to the leaky faucet?"

"Don't stop Percy," Frank said. "Kiss the faucet and say that you'll make everything better."

Jason snickered. "I take back what I said. A leaky faucet isn't that much, but this is gold."

Percy ignored Will and gently kissed the faucet. "There, there, now, Percy'll make it all better. No need to be so sad."

"Is- is this a Child of Poseidon thing?" Will asked. "You can manage to talk to leaky faucets and make them feel better? Because that's the opposite of a useful power."

"Turn around to him slowly, put a finger to your lip and tell Will to keep quiet or he'll hurt the tap's feelings," Frank said.

Percy turned to Will and put a finger to his lip and said, "Shh! You'll hurt the faucet's feelings if you keep talking like that."

Will had a serious 'what-in-Hades-is-going-on' look on his face. The rest of the Apollo cabin had now joined him in watching what Percy was doing.

Leo flipped a switch and the faucet stopped leaking.

"See! I made it all better and it's stopped leaking," Percy said. "And, as we all know, leaky faucets are a hallmark that a place is haunted."

"No it isn't…." Will Solace said weakly.

"Okay, now Percy, you're going to be looking for secret messages," Leo said. "There's a UV light in your pocket. Ask them to turn the lights off."

"Okay, you might not believe that," Percy said. He took out a pretty small UV light torch from his pocket. "But ghosts, as you know, leave messages hidden for us to find. I'm gonna need you guys to turn off all the lights."

Percy spent five minutes combing the room until he found a word: SAVE. The UV light was pretty small so it could only light up one word of the message at a time. "See?" Percy said. "This is obviously a super-duper important message left to us by the ghosts."

When the message was pieced together, it read: SAVE 15% OR MORE ON CAR INSURANCE BY SWITCHING TO GEICO.

There were small marks of what looked like gecko footprints leading away from it.

"Who wrote that there?" Will asked.

"Who knows Will? Who knows?" Percy tried to say mysteriously.

"Okay, enough with the jokes," Jason said. "Here's something that should be really scary. Go over to the third bunk from the left saying that you sense the core of the problem there."

"Wait, wait," Percy said in his weirdest voice. "I can sense… the source of all these problems right over…" He then closed his eyes and wandered around towards the third bunk. "Yes! Right here! But what is it?"

Jason flipped a switch.

A compartment in the roof opened up, and from it fell something that cracked on its way down.

And the thing turned out to be a cat carcass.

As you can imagine, everyone screamed.

"Where did you get that?" Jason asked, amazed.

"Uh, there was an accident with someone's cat in the Roman Camp," Leo said. "Said I'd get rid of the body, and I hid it there with some incense so it wouldn't smell too bad."

The screaming had still continued and finally the body was taken care of by burying it outside.

"That won't solve the problem though," Percy said. "The cabin is now haunted by that cat's ghost, and we need to perform an exorcism."

"O-okay," Will said. He still didn't believe it but thought that just maybe Percy knew what he was doing.

"Now this is how you're going to perform it Percy," Frank said. "Ask everyone to gather inside and turn off the lights."

"Okay, to do this," Percy said. "You'll have to gather in the cabin and close your eyes."

While the members of the Apollo cabin complied, albeit reluctantly, Percy turned off the lights.

"Okay, now Percy," Jason said. "Take some paint, and write 'The Apollo Cabin Sux' on the wall, with 'Sucks' spelt with an 'x' and then just run away before they can notice."

"Are you kidding?" Percy said as loudly as he dared so the others wouldn't hear him. "They'd definitely get back at me at some point."

"Well, you can always lose, Percy," Leo said with a grin. "Your choice."

"Uh, guys, don't open your eyes until I say so," Percy said. He then painted the message on the wall as best as he could, and then snuck out.

Result: Percy passed.


Frank sighed. He had decided to go next, and had gotten the Nike Cabin.

Unlike Percy, who had dressed up like a bishop, because the others were racist, Frank was made to wear some sort of weird Chinese (at least it said Chinese on eBay, but Frank wasn't sure) robe that Leo had ordered.

He walked over to the Nike cabin, where for now, there were only Holly and Laurel Victor where there for now.

"So, what happened Frank? You lost a bet?" Holly asked.

"Holly- that's not cool. He could be wearing it, for you know, one of those ah…" Laurel trailed off, apparently uncomfortable with whatever she was going to say.

"Uh, no, I was told that the Nike cabin was haunted," Frank said. "And I've come to chase away the spirits using this, uh, whatever." Frank pulled out something that looked like a long staff with some bits of paper attached to it. He had no clue what it was, but was sure the whole thing was racist somehow.

"Haunted?" Holly asked. "Who told you that? I mean there was a Gastly here in Pokemon Go, but that was two hours ago."

"I- uh, have my sources," Frank said. "And I usually keep a look out for this kind of stuff."

"Huh-" Laurel said. "Yeah see, I was telling Holly that you were probably into those kinds of things, but she said it wasn't politically correct to say so."

"It isn't," Percy said.

"So, you think the cabin is haunted?" Holly asked. "What made you think that?"

Percy flipped a switch.

A loud scream echoed from inside the cabin.

"That's new!" Holly said, surprised.

They all rushed inside to find no one there.

"Your sound effects have gotten better," Jason said. "I mean, that time with the teddy bear it was clear that it was something robotic."

"Ah yeah, so like I was saying this cabin is probably haunted," Frank said. "I'll have to check around a few things first before I do the exorcism."

"Try opening one of their faucets here," Leo said.

"What is it with you and faucets?" Percy asked.

"I think an easy way to see would be to open a tap," Frank said. He walked over to a sink and opened the tap to see a dark red liquid flowing out of it.

"Blood!" one of the twins said.

"Stick your finger in it and drink some," Leo said.

Frank rolled his eyes when the two co-counselors couldn't see. It was quite obvious that the red liquid wasn't blood- where would Leo have gotten it from?

Frank took some on his finger and put it in his mouth. "It's Mountain Dew Red," he said. "Though to be honest having that come out of your sink isn't much better than blood… I think I'll need to check some more things."

They turned around to see that something was blocking the doorway.

Right there, in front of the door, was single teddy bear.

And not just any teddy bear.

No. Frank recognized this one. It was that one, from waaaay back when they were burning stuff as a challenge and he had gotten a teddy bear to burn.

"Who's bear is that?" Holly asked.

"No one in your cabin has a teddy bear, by any chance, right?" Frank asked.

"No…" Laurel said.

The teddy bear then creepily somehow turned its head to look at Frank.

And suddenly the lights went off. It was still daytime, but the windows weren't exactly fully open but it was bright enough to see most things.

"Uh, Frank, we have a problem," Leo said. "I didn't put that bear there. And I can't get the lights back on either."

"What? Stop messing with me Leo!" Frank whispered, hoping the other two were too busy staring at the bear to notice.

"I'm not! I don't know where the teddy bear came from!" Leo said.

Frank rolled his eyes. He was ninety-nine percent sure that Leo was doing this… okay, ninety-five percent sure.

The teddy bear began talking- well its mouth didn't move but a voice did come out, though not from it but from the roof.

"Frank Zhang… do you remember us?" it asked. It sounded nothing like the obviously fake sound that had come out last time, no, Leo had obviously taken a huge upgrade with the sound system.

"Uh… I think it's talking to you, Frank," Laurel said.

"Nah, it's probably just-" Frank stopped himself as he realized he couldn't give his friends away.

"Frank, Frank," the voice came as the teddy bear fixed its dark, beady eyes on Frank. "You tried to kill us. You tried to burn us. And so, we have come back, back from the very depths of Tartarus to exact our revenge."

"Our?" Holly asked.

"Yes, girl, our. Hear our names and quake at them, for they are: Sheldon, Rudy, and Timothy!"

Sounds of creaking wood and incoherent whispering now came.

"Those aren't really scary names," Laurel said.

"Yeah, if you want to frighten people you should change them," Holly said.

"Quiet!" the voice said. The teddy bear tilted its head to focus on Holly and then Laurel. "Our names are our names! I mean, there's also a guy named Bob living with us, but he's just Sheldon's school friend and here until he finally gets a job."

"These guys are weird…" Holly said.

"Tell me about it…" Frank said, referring to the others.

"So, Frank, are you ready to finish your punishment?" the teddy bear asked. "You will pay for burning me in a fire… and all those unspeakable things you've done to me!"

Holly and Laurel both looked at Frank quizzically.

"What-no, I haven't done anything 'unspeakable' to that teddy bear!" Frank said.

"Don't lie!" the teddy answered. "I was living a happy, normal life with my family, until this man came along. He sold my wife and child to Octavian in exchange for a few Oreos, and then Octavian butchered them with his own hands! I then was so traumatized I started drinking and lost my job, and to cap it all off Frank stopped feeding my pet plushy gerbil and it died."

"If you don't feed a plushy gerbil, how does it die?" Holly asked.

"Okay- so Frank, I think you were right about us being haunted," Laurel said, though the twins seemed more bemused than scared. "How do we get rid of it?"

"Tell them to perform the exorcism you have to burn it," Percy said.

'Oh, so now you guys are talking like you're controlling things,' Frank thought. "Okay, we just need to burn it outside."

"Cool. I've got a lot of my sister's trophies and medals that have wood in them," Holly and Laurel said at the same time and glared at each other.

"Also, you all have to do the hokey-pokey around the fire while he burns," Jason said.

"And we have to dance the hokey-pokey around the fire while it burns," Frank said. The twins looked at him like he was crazy so Frank resorted to his last resort, desperate, line: "It's an ancient Chinese thing."

And so, they made a fire and threw the teddy bear, who was still protesting and making death threats, into it while Frank say 'Do the Hokey-Pokey' and they did, to the other's enjoyment, actually do it.

"I'm saving that dancing video," Percy said.

Result: Frank passed.

A/N: And that's that. Thanks for reading, and do please review if you liked!

And... some good news. Our hiatus isn't completely over, and we won't update next week, but in the week after that we should be back to our regular, weekly updating schedule.

Also, yes, the idea for this was from the Conjuring, though I haven't seen the sequel.
