A/N: So, in the usual vein, thank you, thedauntlessamity, thatinvisiblerose (It is kind of creepy if you don't know it is comedy), DrakonOwl21195, abcathena, ConnorPerson, ChrystalineCD, thegloopmonster, SlytherinDemigod13, MrAppocolypse (I'll see if I can do it), WhyNotWriteFanfiction (yes, they did), Hispanicin, and wow.

With the video of the Nike cabin counselors doing the hokey-pokey safely stored, Jason was now free to chose his own slip.

Jason walked over towards the Hermes Cabin dressed in a huge beaver costume.

Why was Jason dressed like a huge beaver? Because apparently Leo thought it would be funny and hard to explain.

Jason trudged over to the Hermes cabin where there was Travis Stoll and about half a dozen other demigods.

"Okay guys, I heard a call that there was a ghost here," Jason said.

Travis Stoll looked at Jason. "Why are you dressed like a beaver?"

"Because I didn't have another baby costume," Leo muttered.

"Oh, that explains it," Percy said.

"You somehow have a myriad of maid outfits available in various degrees of frilliness, but not a single extra baby costume?" Frank asked.

"Oh, that's because I belong to the Sacred Beaver School of Exorcism," Jason said.

"The wha?" Travis asked.

"The wha?" Percy asked.

"Oh a method of exorcism handed down by the great Sacred Beaver," Jason said. "You should read about it."

"I don't read," Travis said.

"I somehow don't doubt that," Frank said.

"Anyway, are you saying that there's a ghost in here?" Travis asked. "Because I'm pretty sure there isn't. I mean, there are weird sounds but we just assumed those are because Larry's got a stomachache and won't admit it."

"I don't have a stomachache!" a voice came from inside, followed by a noise that sounded like a zebra screaming after someone gave it a Heimlich maneuver.

"See," Travis said.

"No, I'm sure there is something wrong," Jason said. "Let's take a look inside."

"Now, Jason, as you walk into the room, I want you to take out those toys in your costume and set them up," Percy said.

Jason began taking out small toys which looked like beavers wearing robes and he set them all over the place. "These are special holy symbols of the Sacred Beaver. Ghosts don't like them being here."

"The Sacred Beaver is a false deity!" Percy said. "Praise the helix!"

"You're telling me that you could find small toys that look like beavers wearing robes but couldn't get another giant baby costume?" Frank asked.

"They're harder to get than they look," Leo said.

All of a sudden, as Jason was placing the small toys around the cabin, the temperature suddenly dropped.

"That's clearly indicative of paranormal activity," Jason said.

"Nah, someone just turned the air conditioning on," someone said. "Though that's weird…. Who turned it on?"

"Weird?" Travis asked. "Since when do we have an air conditioner in the first place? Now that's the real question."

"I installed it," Leo said. "And he better not be complaining or he'll see something really scary! I had to pay for it myself!"

"Leo, we all know you stole those parts," Percy said. He then flicked a switch.

The lights in the Hermes cabin went off. A strange breeze rattled through the cabin and some things fell down.

When the lights came back up, all the small beaver figurines had been knocked over. And to cap it off, there was a small red box with a handle on the floor which had most definitely not been there before. It was a jack-in-the-box.

Hesitantly, Jason picked it up.

"Uh, I've seen enough horror movies to know what happens next…" Travis said.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional," Jason said.

"A professional what? Beaver?" Percy said.

"Go on Jason! Go on! Try opening it!" Frank said.

"We can guarantee you'll love what's going to happen," Leo said.

Hesitantly, Jason began turning the handle and rather creepy music began coming out. And another thing, it wasn't easy turning the handle either, as if there was some sort of spring resisting its motion.

Jason was sweating, but he told himself that was because the giant beaver costume was uncomfortable.

After what seemed like way longer than five minutes of turning the handle and malevolent music, everyone paused to see what would happen.

And what happened was a fat load of nothing.

"Isn't that clown or whatever supposed to pop out at the end?" Travis asked.

"It isn't opening," Jason said. "And I can't turn it anymore."

He tried prying it open forcefully, but it seemed to be jammed.

"It's probably broken," Travis said.

Just then Frank pushed a button.

And so, out of the roof of the cabin a huge clown popped out and began dangling right in front of Jason as the words 'Pop goes the weasel!' played out from somewhere.

"Oh man, did you get Jason's expression right there!" Percy said.

"It looks almost like his heart froze for an instant," Frank said. "Hey, if Jason's heart did stop, would a defibrillator work on him?"

"I don't know," Leo said. He then paused the video and went back while zooming in on Jason's face. "Okay, that's going to be my new screensaver. I mean, Travis and the others look terrified as well, but Jason knows that it's a show, right?"

Jason calmed down as the clown stopped oscillating.

It was true that he was expecting something scary to happen, but nothing of this magnitude had happened to the others and he had been unprepared for it.

"Shut up, Frank," Jason whispered. "We all saw how scared you were with the teddy bear."

"I didn't nearly electrocute myself like you did," Frank retorted.

"Okay, so I think we can agree that this place is haunted," Jason said. "And now we just need to call upon the power of the Sacred Beaver in order to cleanse it."

"Right, Jason, so you just need to tell them that-" Percy began.

"Wait, I don't think this place is haunted," Travis said. He stepped forward and punched the clown. "This is just something someone put up there. I mean, there's a whole compartment and everything, there's nothing really spooky about it. And the air conditioner is weird, but someone could've just put it there."

"The whole things seems more like a prank than something haunting the place," someone else added. "Jason, who called you and brought you here?"

"Uh… I didn't catch his name," Jason said.

"So it was enenimious," Travis said.

"You're thinking of anonymous," Jason said.

"Right, that," Travis said. "That probably means that someone set this all up. But who…"

"What? Seriously?" Leo asked. "The Hermes cabin of all people have somehow seen through all of this?"

"Anyway, I don't know," Travis said. He then looked at the air conditioner. "I haven't noticed that, but I think that was here a few days earlier… did it come back after maintenance?"

"Abort! Abort!" Leo said. "They can't possibly get to know who did that!"

"Yeah, now that I think about it, it might have just been a prank," Jason said. He then closed his eyes and pretended to focus. "Yes, the Sacred Beaver agrees with me. Well, I'll be going then."

Result: Jason failed.


"Well, Jason, that was funny," Leo said. "But too bad they almost figured us out. I'm gonna have to dismantle the stuff around the Hermes cabin before they catch on further onto our trail."

"Before that though, this is your turn now," Percy said.

The problem of course arose that Leo knew everything about the traps, so the rest of them spent six hours modifying them before handing Leo his piece of paper instead of choosing it by lots since they only had enough time to rig one cabin.

Leo trudged towards the Demeter cabin looking quite pleased. The others had tried to find a weird costume for him, but he had anticipated all of that and gotten rid of the maid outfits (actually that's what he had said, but they were still there. He had just hidden them away. It is notoriously difficult to get rid of maid outfits once you have them, because there's too much to throw away discreetly, you begin to get attached to them, etc. Not like the author has any experience regarding that though…) and they couldn't find something ridiculous enough so they let him go in his normal clothes.

Katie Gardener and another Demeter camper were there inside as Leo walked in.

"Hello ladies," Leo said. "I heard a call that there was a ghost problem here- and you needed an exorcist so I came here as fast as I could."

"Uh… there are no ghosts here," Katie said. "And who told you there were, by the way?"

"Wow, we really needed to think of an answer to that before this whole thing," Frank said. "I mean, we nearly got busted because we didn't have an answer last time."

Leo however could already say give one that he had thought of. "See, I'm a child of Hephaestus. You know how ghosts always possess machinery and stuff? Well, the machinery in your cabin's been behaving oddly and sent a message down to me that there's something wrong."

Katie frowned. "That sounds… completely fake and made up."

"If it's any consolation Leo, I though that was good," Percy said.

"But it is true," Leo said. "So if you'll just step aside for a minute I'll check out the cabin and show you what's wrong."

Katie seemed to not think much of this idea but let Leo in anyway.

"Leo, say that you need to know what the machines are saying and start talking to that light bulb over there," Percy said.

Leo made his way towards the light bulb and then started whispering to it.

"Are you… are you seriously talking to a light bulb?" Katie asked incredulously. The other campers looked at Leo like he was crazy.

"Yes I am, and I'd appreciate if you'd stopped butting in," Leo said. "So, Mr. Light Bulb, what's your problem?"

"Mr. Light Bulb?" Percy said. "Leo, that is clearly a female light bulb that you're talking to. Apologize!"

"Wha- you're a girl?" Leo asked. "Oh, well I'm sorry than Miss Light Bulb."

"Miss? Miss?" Percy asked. "She's clearly married, Leo. Stop giving her the wrong ideas, or do I need to have a word with Calypso?"

"That would be a conversation," Jason said. "Oh hey Calypso, I'm sorry to say this, but your boyfriend was flithing with a light bulb."

"Oh, wait, you're married?" Leo asked, knowing full well that Percy was punishing him for the water tap. "Well, then Mrs. Light Bulb, do you want to say something?"

Katie and the other campers were pretty sure that Leo was crazy now.

"By the way, Percy, there's no other light bulb in that cabin. How is she married?" Frank asked.

"Ever heard of long-distance relationships, Frank?" Percy asked."Come one, just because they're living apart doesn't mean that their relationship is over, they're just going through a rough phase, okay?"

"Hey look, the ghost is saying something through Mrs. Light Bulb," Leo said. It had begun blinking off and on.

"That's Morse Code. Start translating it," Frank said.

"It's Morse Code," Leo said. "Let me try translating it… It says: LEO. LEO VALDEZ. I AM THE GHOST OF TWERKING'S PAST. YOU HAVE FAILED ME AND DISGRACED YOURSELF BY ABANDONING YOUR WAYS."

"The Ghost of… Twerking's Past?" Katie asked. "Is that even a thing?"

"Sure is," Leo said.

"Well, Leo, do we have to spell it out for you, or do you know what you have to do to exorcise that ghost?" Percy asked.

Leo sighed. "There's only one way to get rid of the ghost," he said. "I'm going to have to twerk it out."

Right out on cue, music started blaring out of nowhere.

Leo sighed and began twerking as best as he could.

We could tell you it wasn't hilarious.

But we'd be lying.

The Demeter campers were laughing too hard to say that they didn't believe that the cabin was haunted, and so this was considered a default win by Leo.

Result: Leo passed.

A/N: The overall result is that Leo and Jason both have one negative point each and Percy and Frank are completely in the clear.
