Hey, hey, hey! Guess who is back!
*Ingrate in crowd shouts "the loser!'*
Grr, I thought we were learning to treat each other with respect!
...-_-...
POOPY-HEAD!
*grumbles to self*
Stupid... *grumble* little... *grumble* ingrate.
Anyways... here is chapter 6! And by popular request, we are back to the dares!
Oh yeah! One more thing...
Stop asking for demi-gods! If I wanted this fic to have demi-gods the title would've said, "Truth or Dare: Half-Blood Version!" You guys obviously don't know what Olympian version means. Here's why I'm not going to do it:
1. I noticed a hundred thousand Truths or Dares out there for half-bloods and none for the gods that were really good. So, essentially, I made this because I was tired of seeing the half-bloods in them and I felt the gods needed their own game.
2. The gods are funner(yes Athena, I know that's not a word). They all have individual goofy personalities, immortality and supernatural powers. It adds a certain umph to the game, ya now? We wouldn't be able to have Percy jump into a boiling pot of acid and walk out alive, now could we?
3. I'm not good with writing demi-god characters. I've never written a story for them before but I have written one for the gods(Ask the Gods! I had to delete it though).
4. Random appearances of the demi-gods are annoying as crap! I want to read a fic about just the gods. When I do(supposedly) for no apparent reasons, the gods go, "We're bored. Hey, why don't we zap up some half-bloods up here because we all know we're allowed to have direct interference like this! Oh, and we don't even hate each other that much. We'll all become OOC and get along swell! We'll all probably go 'Aw, Percy has such a hard life! Let's either make fun of him or become buddies!' All except Athena who the author will decide to make her bitch about Percabeth because Athena is totally like that*cough* note the sarcasm*cough*"
So, those are my reasons.
...Hmm...
On to the story!
Oh! Also by popular request, I'm going to start with Apollo...
Apollo's POV
After the steak was thrown at mom's head, all of Hades was unleashed (Uncle H says I should stop using that term but I just can't help it. Does, 'And all Underworld was released' sound as good? Nope, I didn't think so). After this huge cat fight, we decided that mom and Uncle P would switch places. Mom was only sitting for a second before she got up.
"Well, I'm off," she told us.
"What?!" I cried. "You can't leave yet mommy!"
"Sure I can," she said shrugging. "Besides, I have an alternative universe to go too."
Arty rolled her eyes. "Mom, you are so lying."
Leto frowned. "Who said I was lying?"
"Nobody needed too," Ares said gruffly, leaning back in his chair like he is oh-so-macho. "We know that that's not possible."
"Mortals don't think we're possible," she argued. "Yet, here we are."
"I still call bull on this one," he replied, shrugging.
"Whatever. I don't need your approval," Leto said. Then she went to walk out the door.
"Wait! But what about your dare?" I asked.
"I would have liked too, but I promised Hecate I would check out this dimension," Leto told us.
"And you don't dare Leto because...?" Athena asked me, giving me the look like I'm suppose to know something. Why don't I...? Oh! It's my turn!
"Real quick mom: Truth or dare?" I asked. Knowing my mommy so well I already had the dare in mind.
"Dare," she shrugged as if it didn't matter either way to her (which, it did).
"I dare you to go to a dimension where I'm king of the gods!" I proclaim proudly.
"That's a horrible image," Athena grumbled. What a grump. Why does she always have to be so grumpy? She's like dad on his bad days (which, granted, is every day).
"I want you to bring proof too," I added. I looked at Heph and he nodded once and tossed her a camera that he got out of his belt.
"A world were you rule..." my father said nervously. Hades shuddered.
"Terrifying," he said. I frowned.
"You guys are such bullies," I whined. Mom said good-bye and materialized out of the room.
"So, who's turn is it now?" I asked. My sister wore a feral grin.
"Why, it's my turn dear brother!" Artemis said, the weird smile never leaving her face. Huh, I wonder what she is up too...
"Apollo, truth or dare?" she asked. Huh... wait! Who, what?! I looked around to see if anyone knew what was going on.
"She just dared you stupid," Athena said, rolling her eyes again.
"Oh, well... dare." I said, unsure. My sister just smirked and I could tell she was thinking, "Dare. How typical of a male to pick that. Boys are so fickle..." Twin telepathy. Nice huh? Okay... maybe it wasn't that but I know my sister well enough for it to be that.
"Well, I want you too..." her voice trailed off as she got ready to say it. "...To not tell haikus for a week and admit I'm older!"
Everybody groaned while I just sat there appalled. Wha- no haikus?! And admit that she's older? Never!
"Th-that's two dares!" I tried to argue. "That's cheating!"
"No it's not!" she argued.
"Yes it is!"
"Well, then," my father interrupted. "Pick one of the dares, Apollo."
Man, this is hard. Either, not tell haikus for a week or admit I'm older. Hmm... what to choose? What to choose...?
"This millennium would be nice," Queen Hera grumbled. What's up with all the grumps in our family?
"Eenie, meenie, miney, moe," I muttered to myself as I pointed back and forth between imaginary options.
"Oh, for Olympus sake Apollo!" my sister cried out in exasperation. Well, admitting she's older will never be forgotten as long as I live and, since I'm immortal, that's a long time. That compared to a week without haikus.
I sighed in annoyance. "Fine, you win Arty. I won't tell haikus for a week," I grumble. My LITTLE (keyword little) sister smiled triumphantly though she looked disappointed that I didn't lie for her and say that she's older.
"...Okay... you'll be up here in a sec?... Good... See you later." Queen Hera said into her cell phone, hanging it up. Whoa! When did she even get it out?
"When did you get that cell phone out?" I asked out loud. Hades grunted.
"Honestly, I'm wondering that too." he agreed.
"Oh my gosh Apollo! You know what this means?!" Hermes asked in mock shock. We both grinned.
"She's a ninja!" we both exclaimed. Dad and Athena gave us the "unamused" looks while Arty hit her head on the table.
"Hera's a ninja!" I cried out.
"It's Ninja Hera!" Hermes exclaimed.
"She's going to eat us!"
Hebe laughed. "I love ninjas!" Then she turned towards Hera. Then said, without sarcasm, "Why didn't you tell me you were a ninja?"
Almost everyone started to laugh after that, even the killjoys like Athena, Zeus, Artemis, Hephaestus and Hades, had to crack a smile.
"I'm not a ninja!" Queen Hera protested. Hebe then looked confused while Hermes and I tried not to fall off are chairs.
"Yeah, Hera! Why didn't you tell us you were a ninja?" we asked. She probably would've slapped us when a flash of purple flashed beside Artemis and then a god appeared, with a scent of grapes surrounding him.
"What are you doing here Dionysus?" Zeus asked. "You're currently under punishment at camp!"
"About that Zeus... you could give my nephew to me," Hades said, with false sweetness dripping in his voice. "I have plenty of more... suitable punishments for him in the Underworld."
Dionysus tried to look indifferent but I could tell that Uncle Hades freaked him out. Can't say that I blame him. Uncle H freaks most people, gods and mortals alike.
"Well, father," Dionysus said, absent-mindedly twirling a grape vine between his fingers. "I was bored with dealing with those insufferable brats so I decided I would drop by and play Truth or Dare. Oh, also Queen Hera said it was mandatory for all on the council to be here."
He then proceeded to grow a grape on the vine and pluck it off. He began to roll it between his fingers as Hera glared at him.
"It is mandatory for those on the council-" Then she glanced at Hades and Persephone. "-And Hades and Persephone, to be at this game, that much is true. Also, any other gods can ask to play if they want too."
"Or else Hestia wouldn't be here," Lady Rhea pointed out, rather rudely. Dionysus crushed the grape between his fingers.
"Yes well," he said mildly to Rhea though his eyes had flashes of purple flames. "I don't mind her being here."
"Your prerogative," she replied. Queen Hera coughed before they could really get into it.
"Since you have arrived and you are sitting beside Artemis, it's your turn." Hera told us. Hey, that's not fair!
"No fair!" Hermes shouted. I nodded in agreement. That's right Hermes, you tell that old cow! "He cut in front of us."
"He's still going. End of discussion," Hera said.
"All right..." Dionysus mused. "Queen Hera said something about rules though...?
"Right. Just go ahead and pick anyone," I told him. "Except me. And Arty." my sister glared when I said that. Why doesn't she like my nickname for her? "And Poseidon... and Zeus. And Rhea, Hestia and Aphrodite."
"Anyone else?" Artemis asked dryly.
"So... I can dare whatever kind of dare I want?" Dionysus asked, an evil glint coming into his eyes. Uh-oh. This won't end well.
"Whatever you want." my father said with uneasiness, obviously understanding that this won't go well too.
"Then in that case..." Dionysus turned to Uncle Hades. "I have my own plans for you Mister 'I have special punishments for you in the Underworld'."
I whistled. "That's a long name."
"Truth or dare?" Dionysus asked him.
Hades doesn't like to look like he fears anything, so he naturally said, "Dare."
I wonder what he's going to be dared...
Well, I'll stop there. Tell me what you thought. You know, in the reviews. Yep. Don't forget to do it. Also, don't be to lazy and not do it. So... review!
