Okay, I am sorry if this chapter turns out to be horrible, for I have the nightmare of authors, the dreaded writer's block. So I desperately need ideas and I feel so stupid 'cause the poll wasn't up! It is now, so please vote! BrookieHyuga, I promise, you come up in the next chapter. I have nothing more to say now, so let's just go on.

Third Person's POV

The guys and girls headed in different directions, to their respective locker rooms. Before entering, both groups got their bags with their PE equipment. They changed into their PE uniforms. The girls wore black shorts (For someone who was more comfortable, the school had also provided short-shorts) and deep blue school-appropriate tank tops, which had their name on the back. The guys changed into almost same clothes as the girls, only they wore male tank tops with their names at the back. The gods and goddesses, of course had their incognito names written at the back. When they came out (all at once) and were tying their sports shoes, Stella stood up and said, 'Percy, you should go on and tell them exactly what happens in PE here.'

Percy rubbed his neck and stood up, addressing the crowd in front of him, and other than Stella, Ashley and Christina (who already knew), all turned to him to listen to the rules.

'Okay, in Goode, PE is very different, so be all ears. In one PE class, there are 21 people, like we are. The Coach will assign the game and team leaders, unless we will be learning. One person, who hasn't been chosen as a team leader, will become the referee, or whatever you want to call that. The teams will be chosen. The teams chosen today will be the same for the year. Oh, look, here is Coach!'

Percy grinned at the Coach, who grinned back. Percy jumped back into his seat. Coach looked at all the class and said, 'I see I have a class of mostly newbies. Anyhow, I expect you, Percy, have explained the rules?' At Percy's nod of confirmation, Coach continued, 'So, today's game is Basketball, and I nominate Percy and his twin as team leaders. Oh, so your name's Harry? Okay, captains are Percy and Harry. Carry on!'

Percy got up and accepted the ball they would be playing with. They then went out and stood in the field. The sun was very bright, so Apollo used his powers to make it a bit dimmer. Percy and Poseidon stood in front of each other. They did a small match of rock-paper-scissor, which Percy won. This meant Percy would choose the players and also the side of the field he wanted first.

'Okay!' Stella broke in. 'I'll referee. Start!'

Percy smirked at his father. 'Annabeth.'

Poseidon smirked right back. 'Ath – Hermione.'

'Thalia.'

'Erm, Victor.'

'Nico.'

'Adam.'

'Ashley.'

'Fred.'

'Christina.'

'George.'

'Tom.'

'Lily.'

'Luna.'

'Rose.'

'Charles.'

'Victorie.'

'Okay, now who to choose?' Percy scratched his head. Annabeth whispered something in his ear, and he gave an evil smile to Poseidon, who was sure his son would choose Dionysus.

'Angelina.'

Poseidon's eyes bulged as Dionysus came onto his side. Then he smirked at his son, who smirked right back at him. Poseidon was sure that Percy had taken a person who would make him loose.

As for Percy, he chose Aphrodite because of something Annabeth told him. She had recounted something which had happened in the girl's locker room. I'll tell you what happened in Annabeth's point of view.

Flashback in Annabeth's POV

Here in the girl's locker room, we were in a total mess. Aphrodite was driving all of crazy, yelling about how she hated PE, how she didn't want to participate, and if only she could sit it out. In the end, Hera (hate her, but was thankful because of her one deed), yelled, 'Angelina! We get it, you don't want to play PE, but for Olympus' you'll be an asset to the team you join!'

We demigods and legacies (I'm counting Stella and Ashley as legacies) stared at Hera, then Aphrodite in surprise. Hera continued, 'But please, don't charmspeak in the game!'

Mom, catching our looks of astonishment, explained further. 'When we gods were up against Typhon, while trying to slow him down and using our powers to the most, Aphrodite was charmspeaking (which is making yourself very persuasive to get what you want done) Typhon into slowing down. It worked mostly, but when he shook out of it, Aphrodite used her knife very well!'

Aphrodite smiled at the kids. 'I'm not a lady who's always after her looks, you know!'

'So what I want to say here is, Aphrodite can be very useful when she wants to be,' Athena continued. 'Best keep that in mind when we play.'

End Flashback

Percy smiled at Aphrodite; sure he had made the right choice. Aphrodite smiled back, looking like Annabeth for a moment. He looked at his girlfriend, who gave him a quick kiss before relaying her plans for the game. It didn't help that the other team was made up of all gods, while Percy's was made up mostly of demigods and a legacy. They had to show up the gods that the demigods can do well whenever they want.

Sorry for the delay in this chapter. Happy late New Year! Yippee, my b'day is just few days away! So see you all later!
