Poseidon's POV:
I walked beside Hades, talking about how awesome it would be to camp during the summer.
"...We could roast marshmallows and talk about millions of things and..." I rambled on, trying to fill in the awkward silence that the others kept.
"And then you can shut up and walk normally like a soldier until we reach the dining pavilion." Athena finished my sentence.
Hestia giggled, Zeus chuckled and Hades smirked.
I gasped. "There is nothing funny about me walking like a soldier until we get there!" I protested.
"I suppose you would say that, but your mind may be unfortunately distracted so you do not understand complex words." Hades said.
"Insulting." I muttered.
"When was the last time that it was just the three of us, bonding?" Zeus questioned.
"Never. At least I don't really remember how long ago. Maybe it was when we were at mother's house." Hades said.
Athena smiled. "The last time the three of you were there, Hestia had to place normal flames at the hearth, since Hades had changed it to greek fire. Hera had to keep Poseidon from using fire hose to drench Zeus, and Zeus was trying to get Hades into a three-way fight with him and Poseidon."
"Yes... That didn't end well, did it?" I rubbed my neck sheepishly. "But we didn't destroy the whole house the time before that."
"Are you kidding me?" Hera looked at us. "You destroyed all of the house. Oh wait. Except for Rhea's room."
Hades crossed his arms. "He started it!" He pointed at Zeus.
"I didn't! He did!" Zeus pointed at me.
"What? Hades started it by whacking you over the head!" I protested.
"But then Zeus blasted me with lightning!" Hades glared at Zeus.
"And then Poseidon bashed me on the head with his trident!" Zeus kicked me.
"And it all started when Poseidon suggested that you watch TV." Hestia shook her head, smiling.
"And then Hera brought in a plate of cookies." Athena said. "I heard the story from Demeter." She added.
"No wonder." Hades muttered.
"And then Zeus took a trident shaped one, broke of the middle spike and started mocking you." Hera said.
"..." Zeus gaped at Hera. "I thought you were on my side honey bun!"
"And thus...the weird nicknames continue." I announced dramatically.
Zeus stuck out his tongue at me.
"Note how Hera didn't say any of them..." Hades looked at Zeus.
"What do you mean?" Zeus looked over.
"She knows that they are crazy." Hades replied.
"Why you...!" Zeus turned and kicked Hades.
"Hey!" Hades yelped in surprise and whacked Zeus over the head.
"We're here!" Hestia put a stop to the argument.
"Look! There's a horn!" I ran over and materialized a microphone.
"Who's announcing?" Athena walked over to the head table and grabbed a piece of wood.
"Oh! Me! Me! MEE!" I jumped up and down, trying to catch her attention. She kept looking away from me. But then when there wasn't any other volunteers, she gave up.
"Okay fine. Poseidon, you can do it." She said.
"You're going to tell everyone to come here. Alright?" Zeus said.
"Okay." I grabbed the horn and placed the microphone in front of it.
"No goofing off, understand?" He continued.
"Do I look like an idiot?" I crossed my arms, and looked down at him. I was slightly taller than him.
"Yes." He raised his head.
"Great, now why don't you announce it if you are so worried?" I asked.
"Because you and Hades will make fun of me."
"Don't bring me in this!" Hades grabbed our arms and pulled us to his table. "Now. You two are not going to bring me into your petty arguments. Understood?"
"And don't get into any fights!" Hestia smiled at us. "You can be nice to each other. You just have to try."
"Right. If you don't, than you're a hypocrite. You wanted us to bond with the demigods. Well, we're the example." Hera glared at Zeus.
"Or we'll have to attend school for a longer period of time." Athena crossed her arms.
"Gotcha." I said.
"And Hades? Just because you rarely fight doesn't mean that you can taunt them for fighting." Hestia transformed into an eighteen year-old. "Just for this year." She added, at our glances.
"Ahh. I see." I walked away and picked up the microphone.
"You certain?" I heard Zeus ask Hestia.
"I can't attend high school in the form of a seven year-old girl, can I?" Hestia questioned.
"I guess not." Zeus said.
Annabeth's POV:
We all headed to the hill by Thalia's tree to relax and chat. I sat against her tree with Percy and we started thinking back about all of our guests and when he had gone to the Roman camp.
"How's your mother doing in camp?" Thalia asked me, startling me.
"Good, I guess." I told her. She lied down on the grass and looked at the sky.
"It's great that Jason is here. I'll have to thank Piper for that. If he wasn't here, I would never sleep on a bunk in the Zeus cabin." Thalia said.
A horn sounded. "May everyone report to the dining thing-a-ma-bob." Lord Poseidon's voice boomed.
"It's a dining pavilion, idiot!" I heard Lord Hades mutter.
"It sounds like another word!" Lord Poseidon protested.
"The microphone and horn are in front of you." Lord Zeus butted in.
"What?" I had no idea who said that.
"To the dining pavilion we go!" Percy jumped up and pulled Thalia and I along.
"It's almost dinner either way." I said, when I saw Thalia glaring at Percy and mumbling about how inconvenient the time was. "Percy would have dragged us over for dinner."
"Doesn't mean I like it." Thalia said. "Let me go, Kelp Head!" She shook his arm.
"Ow! Fine." Percy let go of Thalia and glared at her, rubbing his arm.
"Oops?" Thalia smirked.
"Let's go!" I ran forward towards my table, while Thalia and Percy ran for theirs.
"So look." Lord Hades started. {A/N: That's it. From now on their isn't any more 'Lord/Lady's.
"Is that how you start all meetings?" Zeus glanced at him.
"Shut up and let me continue!" Hades snapped.
"Calm down, geez!" Poseidon said.
"If you think it's so easy, you can do the honors!" Hades ignored Poseidon and snapped at Zeus.
"Look, there was this storm, that Zeus couldn't control, so we were thinking that we should send some of the gods back to their homes." Poseidon said.
"You could have cut out the part where I couldn't control the storm because IT ISN'T TRUE!" Zeus said.
"It is! I had to help you with it!" Poseidon said.
"Exactly. So I controlled the storm!" Zeus said.
"I gave you the idea. Without me speaking up, the storm wouldn't have stopped." Hades grumbled.
"Whatever." Zeus said.
"What the...?" Poseidon frowned.
"Ignore him." Athena said, pulling Poseidon away. "Look, it's almost dinner time."
"Exactly honey. It's no use arguing." Hera dragged Zeus over to his table.
Hades walked over to Nico.
"Let's just eat." Chiron said, awkwardly. "I hope that Lord Zeus will tell us the details of his plan."
Everyone nodded in agreement and started to eat.
Athena's POV:
I sat with the other Olympians, along with Persephone, Hestia and Hades at Hera's table, since it was empty, discussing who would go back to Olympus.
"I think that Helios, Selene, Hypnos, Morpheus, Thanatos, Nyx and her children should go back." Zeus suggested.
"I think that all the Olympians along with Persephone, Hades and Hestia should stay." I said. "Helios and Selene can take the moon and sun and the other gods that won't stay will take care of the realm they live in." I added when I realized that they were thinking about who will take care of Olympus.
"I guess that could work..." Hades said.
I looked for Annabeth and saw her chatting with Percy and Thalia.
"One thing we still need to consider is which school to go to." Poseidon reminded us. "Percy told me that Goode High is good." He hinted.
"Bad pun Poseidon, bad pun." Zeus told him.
"Really father? That's what you get out of that?" I asked him.
"Males will be males." Artemis told me.
"You know you love us sis." Apollo said while Artemis took out a bow and arrow.
"I guess we could go to Goode." Zeus said, ignoring Artemis and Apollo. "We'll be fine there." He added at Artemis' look.
"If monsters don't attack too frequently, we'll be fine." Hades said dryly.
"Look on the bright side; we can vaporize them!" Apollo said jumping up and down.
"Idiot." Artemis muttered.
Apparently Aphrodite heard because she said "Apollo is an idiot!" Using charmspeak and Apollo ran around screaming.
"I'M AN IDIOT!"
Everyone burst out laughing except Hestia and I who both just smiled.
"Yeah, I guess Goode is good." Said Demeter. "For family bonding time. There's Percy's step-dad, so we have excuses from monster attacks."
"Paul Blowfish, you mean?" Poseidon asked.
"Idiot." This time it was me, except teasing.
"Is this any way to talk to me?" Poseidon asked me.
"Yes, so?" I answered.
"Burn!" Commented Ares, which made Hermes and Apollo laugh.
"How often do you win a game or bet or fight with her?" He asked them and they shut up.
"No, he's name is Paul Blofis." Zeus told him all serious.
"I never thought I'd see the day that Zeus would be serious and know something that Poseidon doesn't." Hera commented.
"I did." Ares said.
"Says the person who got beaten by a twelve year old demigod." Hades told him.
"You got owned!" Apollo told a red-faced Ares. Then Ares took out his spear and Apollo hid behind me.
"Get out of the way, so I can spear Apollo." He hissed at me.
"Or what?" I asked.
"Or I'll attack you." He told me.
"Who says you'll win?" I asked my fellow war god. "After all I have more strategy than you." I added.
He charged at me while I grabbed a thunderbolt that was hovering above father and speared Ares with it, sending him a few meters away in the process.
"Too bad looks like you didn't win!" I yelled at him and turned back to the others. "So we agree?"
"Agree to what?" Father asked me. "And besides, you shouldn't blast him so close to the demigods!"
"That we go to Goode of course." I told him. "I think that it's a nice arrangement. Now all we need to do is start getting a mortal-like summer." I said.
"I guess we can go to Goode." Zeus said.
"Yeah. Goode is fine." Apollo said.
"How do YOU know what Goode is like?" Artemis asked.
"I substituted there once." Apollo replied.
"And you didn't tell me?" Father asked.
"We don't you everything, you know. Like the time someone placed bubble gum on you throne." Hades said.
"You should have told me." Father fumed.
"Technically, five of us are older than you." Hades told him.
"I look older!" Zeus said.
"An amazing accomplishment, really!" Hades said sarcastically.
"Exactly! You survived to adulthood! And you look older than you elder brothers!" Poseidon clapped.
Everyone except father, who frowned, laughed.
"Lighten up!" Aphrodite said, looking at Zeus.
"Fine!" Zeus started to smile, but then frowned. "Are you charm-speaking me, young lady?"
"Technically, I'm your aunt." Aphrodite replied.
"Technicalities." Zeus muttered. "They will be the death of me."
"Really? I think I'll need to come up with some punishment then." Hades said.
"If the demigods can survive a week of school, so can I!" Apollo yelled.
"I'm not sure. I mean, you went your whole life without studying." Artemis said. "And be quiet, the Big Three are going to hear you!"
"When is dinner over?" I heard Hades complain. "I need to go and then make sure the judges are behaving properly, we have an announcement to make, two potions to drink, and plenty of things to do!"
"It's ending soon." Persephone spoke up.
"Exactly. And stop whining!" Demeter added. "I'm sure some cereal will fix you though. Never mind, you need a lot of cereal!"
"I do not need cereal!" Hades backed up, towards Persephone. "Why didn't you sit on Persephone's right?"
"I needed to make sure that you eat cereal." Demeter said.
"Look, I have to go and get a book, so bye!" Hades walked off.
"Oh no you don't!" Poseidon grabbed hold of his shirt and pulled him back. "We're both going to suffer Demeter's rant."
Hades crossed his arms, but sat down anyways. "Dinner's over!" He yelled, after a glance around the room. "My younger brother has something to say!" He pushed Zeus up.
"Shut up!" Zeus hissed. "I have decided that only the Olympians are staying, along with Hades, Hestia and Persephone. The minor gods are staying and taking care of the domains that the inhabit. Next, we have decided to go to Goode." He spoke aloud.
Hecate waved her hand in the air.
"Yes Hecate?" Zeus asked.
"As some of you probably know, I have made two potions. One is for hiding our scent from monsters, and the second is to take alot of the gods' powers, so they are slightly more powerful than demigods." Hecate said.
"Great!" Perseus cheered. "We can attend school without monsters!"
"I have an announcement as well." Hera stood up. "Because of family bonding, I wanted us to have a normal summer. So than we will be going to amusement parks and all of that. Along with camping. I have already arranged the first part. Most of us are going to a beach house at Kismet.{A/N: Actual place!}" Hera continued. "You can choose to come."
"I can make some monster-proof phones." Hephaestus said. "And some monster-proof laptops as well."
"Alright then." Zeus started.
"Why do we need the potion for taking our powers?" Apollo asked.
"So that none of us go home." I said. "Unless you want to swear on the River Styx."
"Honestly, I'd rather swear on the River Styx to not use our godly powers, except for emergencies." Poseidon said.
"Well than, you just just swear on the River Styx." Hecate said, pulling out some vials. "For all the demigods that are going to school, you'll have to drink this. The gods as well." She passed some of them to Thanatos, who was sitting next to her. "You distribute these, I'll bring the others around." She said, and they both stood up, passing the vials to each of the Olympians, along with Hades, Hestia and Persephone.
"If you want to go on the 'bonding experience', sign up here!" Zeus yelled, materializing a piece of paper and a pen.
"That's it for now!" Hera added. Hades started to shadow-travel away. "Oh wait!" She grabbed the piece of paper from Zeus, while Hades re-appeared. "You can't all sign up. We can expand the houses for all of us to fit, but we will fill up the whole school if we all go. And besides, the ages vary. The Mist will be useful." Hera said,
The demigods broke out in chatter, and started walking up to the sheet of paper. While us gods went outside.
"Here are the potions, Iris-Message me if you need more. These are for the demigods." Hecate said, giving a bag to Hades.
"Bye!" The others chorused, while the minor gods teleported out of here.
"Hey!" I turned and saw Hades holding the bag above Zeus' reach.
"Give me those!" Father tried to tackle Hades.
"Why should I?" Hades retorted.
"I'm the king of the gods!"
"I'm your elder brother!" Hades mimicked.
"People from the Underworld can't be trusted." Zeus said.
"Well too bad! Because you just insulted your daughter!" Hades shadow-traveled away.
"That was eventful." Poseidon said. {A/N: My favorite couple is starting to shift. The next fic I'm writing will be JASPER! (It's still mostly Hades and Persephone as my OTP, though. For now.)}
"Definitely eventful. As long as you aren't the one arguing." Zeus said, frowning.
"Let's just head back." Hestia sighed, pushing Zeus towards our dwelling.
"Why do we have to sleep? It's not like any of us have to!" Poseidon whined.
"It revives you, Kelp Head! You don't die if you don't sleep for days, but you can be drained!" I crossed my arms.
"If you say so..." Poseidon pouted and started walking back.
And... edited! Bad ending, I know, but I need to write another story, just so I can establish the characters better. I think I might have started this before I read HoO.
