A/N: Hooray! We managed to cross 500 reviews. Thanks ConnorPerson, FanBoyFanatic (you weren't, but thanks for contributing), Thrawn13 (yeah, I know, Percy looked like a real jerk), Greekgodsrex, Annabeth and Percy Jackson (I fixed the Author's Note, that was a mistake, thanks), cghe (thanks for all the effort), MrAppocolypse, writer wisher (the MnM joke is something I saw somewhere on the Internet, so you may have seen it before), Dinklebergsc3, Cassy Daugther of the Moon (yes, those weren't real animal right's activists, though some of them might have been, but they were all actors and knew that Percy was faking), Trainer Azurite (yeah... I agree with all of you on this one, Percy did seem terrible right then and there), and gerky.

Task One:

For this task, the contestants will be posing as cab drivers and pick up passengers. They need to do and say as they are told, and receive a tip at the end. Anyone without a tip loses.

That all seems straightforward, except for the part where Jason, Frank, Percy, and Leo will not be participating for this round. No, instead, they've decided to mix up things this time around a little bit by getting other people in the game. And so, they assembled a team of the best people for the job.

Or more accurately, seeing as very few people want to embarrass themselves like this, they found whoever was willing to take them up on it. As such, they also needed people who had valid drivers licenses, making the number of competitors for the four positions, well, four people. And so, our four pranksters made a team of the only four people they could find:

Grover, Representing Percy

Nico Di Angelo, Representing Frank

Travis Stoll, Representing Leo

Dakota, Representing Jason

Our guests will join us for but one round before leaving, but their points will go to the contestants that they're representing.

Nico went up first.

"When do you think they'll air this?" Nico asked.

"I don't know," Grover said. "I keep asking Percy when he'll air the next episodes for all of us to see, but he keeps saying later."

"I have a different question," Travis said. "Just who are you?"

"I'm Dakota," Dakota said. "I am a Centurion of Camp Jupiter. Jason asked me to come here as a favor."

"Jason doesn't have many friends, does he?" Nico said.

"Hey, and I thought you didn't have your drivers license," Travis said.

"Got it recently," Dakota answered, sipping red Kool-Aid.

"So, you're called Dakota, you mean like after the two states North Dakota and South Dakota?" Grover asked.

"No, no," Travis said. "That's what you need to understand Grover, which is that there is no such thing as North Dakota. It's just a conspiracy created by the government- there's only one state since North and South Dakota settled their differences to become a single Dakota around sixteen years ago, but they show them as different for political purposes."

"Nice to know you haven't gotten smarter at all-" Nico said before he saw a girl about fourteen approach. "Oh, good morning."

"Good morning, I need to get to the subway station," she said.

"Alright then," Nico said as she sat down in the back seat of the car.

"Nico, open up the glove compartment," Dakota said.

Nico opened it to see a huge knife kept in there. Now, it should also be noted that Nico was wearing his scariest-looking Gothic clothes at this point of time and looked very much like someone who would mug people in the darkest alleyways of New York City.

"Take it out and start examining it in front of her," Grover said. "And don't say a word or explain what you're doing, just look at it."

"Man, I can see why they do this, this is so much fun," Travis said with a grin.

Nico took the knife and began inspecting it.

The girl, naturally was freaked out to see her driver examining a knife in front of her. And not just a knife, a huge knife.

"Now that's enough," Dakota said. "Put it back in and mutter 'I think it's sharp enough for the job' under your breath buy loud enough for her to hear."

Nico stowed the knife away and said, "I think it's sharp enough for the job." Unfortunately Nico was rather bad at whispering or even pretending to and it came out as a shout.

"Wh-what kind of job?" the girl asked.

"Tell her that you work at a hospital part-time," Dakota said.

"Oh nothing, I just work at a hospital part-time," Nico said.

"And you use that to cut the veins of people who're donating blood," Travis said.

Dakota frowned. "That's not how they take out blood."

"Yeah, but it's stupid, that's kind o' the whole point," Travis said.

"Uh, well, I use it to cut the veins of people who want to donate blood, y'know," Nico said and tried to shrug nonchalantly as if this was normal.

"That can't possible be how they actually do it," the girl said.

"Just turn around creepily and say, 'You callin' me a liar?'" Grover said.

Nico paused, sighed, and turned around slowly to say, "You callin' me a liar?"

The girl stared at Nico wide-eyed and shook her head. "No sir!"

"I want to see how this works out," Dakota said, taking another sip and becoming more hyperactive the more he drank.

"Yeah," Travis said. "I wonder- will she be so scared that she'll just stay inside the cab like a paralyzed zebra when it sees a lion- or is she gonna get out as soon as possible?"

It was then that the girl noticed something about the car seat she was sitting on- it had some sort of dark stains on it. Dark red stains…

"Tell her not to worry about it," Grover said. "Tell her that you think a cat might've given birth in the back seat."

"By the way, those are Kool-Aid stains," Dakota said.

The three of them high-fived, glad that they were making this challenge as tough as possible.

"You know, I don't know what they'd say if the four of them could see us here,' Travis admitted. "But I do believe that they would be proud."

"Oh yeah, don't mind that," Nico said while struggling to keep a straight face. "I think a cat gave birth there a while ago."

The girl naturally edged away from the stains.

Nico started driving, and for five minutes nothing weird happened. Of course, the others had to intervene at this point.

"Hey Nico, turn on the radio," Travis said.

"Do you mind if I turn on the radio?" Nico asked.

"No," the girl said, a bit more calm.

Nico turned the radio on.

Grover turned the microphone off.

"See, here's what Nico doesn't know," Travis said while speaking towards the camera. "See, the radio that he has is linked up to another microphone we have here. So the radio broadcast that he's going to hear is going to be from us, and not some other station even if he changes the channel!"

"Why are you explaining this?" Dakota asked.

"Aw, c'mon, it makes it easier for the audience to understand," Travis said.

And so Nico turned the radio on. A voice blared out of it saying, "… and this is Jeff with world news here today. Well, all over the world, people went around acting like idiots and being stupid. For more information, you are free to consult a mirror. A study has also said that the main difference between thirty-years-old women and twenty-years-old women is age."

Nico frowned, he recognized that voice.

"And here's Jerry with your local news today," a voice said that Nico was sure belonged to Grover. "A strange series of serial killings have been reported all over New York. It is believed that all are stabbings, and at the moment, police have said that they are suspecting a cab driver who invites people into a car before stabbing them brutally with a huge knife. He is described as a young male wearing a black hoodie with black hair, a light complexion, so if you have any information regarding this-"

At this point the cab had stopped and the girl ran out of cab screaming and never came back.

Nico face-palmed.

"I call that a mission well-done," Dakota said.

"Is it possible to turn the difficulty setting on this game down?" Nico asked.

Result: Frank gets a negative point.

Travis then went up next.

"Yo Travis," Nico said. "Do you know those drivers who always wear too much cologne? Well, today you're going to be one of them. There's a bottle in the glove compartment."

Travis took the bottle out and hesitantly pressed the top for a small whiff of it to come out.

"What is in this stuff?" Travis asked as he began rolling up the window.

"Nope, no window Travis," Grover said.

"It smells like the Ares Cabin's Socks and an public toilet had a baby and that baby pooped!" Travis said.

"Great, you'll be wearing tons of it," Dakota said.

"Is this cab empty?" someone asked.

Travis turned around to see who it was and froze. So did the prospective customer.

Travis turned back to the wheel, his face turning red and he was sweating now. There was no way that this could happen. There was no way that the others could have possible planned this sort of thing. Or could they….

"Surprise!" Grover said. "It looks like Katie Gardner is your customer for today."

"I don't get it," Dakota said. "Why is this is a big deal?"

"They have crushes on each other," Nico explained.

"Oh."

"Is… is that really you Travis?" Katie asked.

"Tell her that you're doing this job so that you can finally pay for your hemorrhoids operation," Grover said.

Dakota was drinking his Kool-Aid as he choked on it and some of it managed to get out of his nose.

"Yeah, Katie," Travis said. "See, the thing is that I'm doing this part-time for the money so that I can raise it for my, uh, hemorrhoids operation."

"I can't believe he said it! I can't really believe he said it!" Dakota said, spilling his drink all over himself.

"That has got to be the worst thing to do," Grover said. "Imagine saying that to your crush…"

"I… kind of didn't need to know that," Katie said. She looked around, but there wasn't another cab in sight. "I mean, get better and all I guess…"

Travis gritted his teeth- was this all still part of the other guy's plan somehow to get rid of any other cabs so Katie would have to come to him? Was Katie somehow in on this?

It seemed unlikely that Katie would ever agree to this, since Travis assumed that she felt the same way about him that he did about her, but you could never really know.

"I can drop you off," Travis said. "I mean, I'll d-drop you off. And for you no charge!"

"Ooooohhhh!" the three of them said together causing Travis to become as red as a tomato.

Katie turned pink too and said, "Okay, but that's not necessary. I can pay you know."

"Before she gets in start spraying yourself with cologne," Dakota said.

Travis really considered just getting out of the car then and there and walking away so that he could go and hopefully bury his head in the dirt somewhere for the next ten years.

And, he couldn't help but wonder why Katie was even there. His brain just couldn't get beyond that simple little fact and was she in on the whole thing? It didn't look likely, but then how did the others manage to ensure that she'd be here just in time for his segment? Or was it just a coincidence?

With that tiny existential crisis over when Katie asked him what was wrong, Travis then decided that he'd go with this and see where he'd end up.

He took the bottle of cologne out and sprayed himself- bracing himself for the stench that was going to come.

"No way man," Grover said. "Come on, a few puffs won't do. Do it like those deodorant commercials."

Travis took the bottle and really spread himself all over.

Katie pinched her nose. "What's that?"

"It's my cologne," Travis said.

"Travis- it smells like what they spread over plants to kill pests," Katie said.

"Your crush just said that you smell like pesticide," Nico said.

"But if it was pesticide, how come it hasn't worked on Travis?" Dakota asked and high-fived Grover.

"Wow," Nico said. "Just a few minutes ago I was a kind and sympathetic person and a productive member of society… and now after being on this show I've turned into someone who can actually laugh on that joke."

"Travis, do you really know how to drive?" Katie asked nervously. Knowing Travis' reputation for how he usually did stuff, Katie hoped that he didn't drive the same.

"Sure I do," Travis said while going to open up the door- not simply to look like a gentleman but to actually hold it open long enough for the stench to get out of the car. "You can check my license if you want."

"No, it's okay," Katie said and nervously got in while waving the smell away with her hand.

Travis though was hoping that there would be nothing more to make him miserable.

"Hey there why don't you go and check under your seat," Nico said.

Travis' nearly froze as he took out several old photographs- of him as a baby.

"I'm sure you'd like to turn around and show them all to Katie," Dakota said.

"Well, it's going to be a long drive," Travis said. "So if you want, you can go ahead and look through these photos while we drive."

Katie flipped through them. "Do you offer these to all your customers?"

"Say yes," Grover said.

"Yes," Travis said, his cheeks now a permanent shade of red.

"That must get awkward," Katie said.

"I don't think it's as awkward as this ride," Nico said.

Thankfully they seemed to leave Travis in peace for the moment- perhaps because they were afraid that he'd crash the car if they said something given that the taxi was going fast as the traffic wasn't as thick this time.

All of this good luck, was of course, gone the moment that Travis dropped Katie off.

"Would you mind giving a tip?" Travis asked.

"Cheapskate!" Nico said. "I do think you promised to take her for free. That's just going against your word there."

"And we didn't even make you say it," Dakota said. "Like seriously- why did you even say that?"

"Yeah, sure," Katie said.

"Ask for a kiss too," Dakota said.

At this, Travis turned around and looked for a spot where he could crawl into the earth where he wouldn't be found ever again.

Katie dropped a few coins.

"And… and good day," Travis said.

Result: Leo gets a negative point.

A/N: Thanks for reading! I thought to mix it up a little by having other characters. Don't worry, Jason, Percy, Leo, and Frank will return. Eventually.
