Um, no. I am most definitely not Uncle Rick.

WARNING: RULES AHEAD!

Chapter 3: This is How We Judge

Looking up at the sky, Hazel stepped out of the plane and onto the ground, assisted by Frank. Unfortunately, she had to get right into a camp van after catching her breath. For a moment, she stared at the man driving. He had bright blue eyes all over his body, and gestured for her to get in.

As Hazel stepped in, Piper whispered to her. "That's Argus. He, um, doesn't really talk." Hazel nodded and sat down, almost too tired to care. Groaning, she laid her head on her boyfriend's shoulder and tried to sleep.

Hazel shifted around for a bit before she could get comfortable, and finally decided to get out her notebook yet again and start writing. She thought about situations in which she would need to be sassy, and finally drifted off to sleep while doing so.

Wooo first line break of the chapter

Jason, Frank, Piper, and Hazel herself stepped out of the large van. Drowsily walking past Thalia's tree, they were greeted by many of the campers.

"Hey!"

"What's up?"

"Wanna come to a party later?"

"Wow! Romans!"

After a while of the jostling, Argus pushed through the crowd and brought them to the cabins. Annabeth had come out from the Athena cabin, and told them to come to a meeting in Bunker Nine.

"Come on, I'll show you where it is," she said to Frank and Hazel. Leading them through the woods, Annabeth pushed away a slab of rock that opened to a large workshop. They were instantly greeted by Leo, Percy, and surprisingly, Nico.

"Okay, everyone, shush. I'm going to make this quick, since those four-" she gestured towards the travelers, "Just flew in from California and are obviously tired. So, Nico, you know what to do," Annabeth took control.

"Right," Nico said, shifting towards the center of the room. "I'm going to explain the rules. This is how this "Sass-Off" thing is gonna work."

"SASS-OFF! SASS-OFF! SASS-OFF!" Leo and Percy chanted, still infected by the Writer. Annabeth quickly calmed them down and motioned at Nico to continue.

"We're going to have a sort of round-y playoff-y thingy. The starting pairs will be: Piper vs. Hazel, Percy vs. Frank, Jason vs. Annabeth, and Leo will play in the next round because Annabeth said so," Nico listed the pairs, looking at a clipboard with notes on it.

"Hey! Why do I have to sit out?" Leo complained to Annabeth.

"Because I said so, Leo!" Annabeth replied.

"Oh, and here's the bonus," Nico broke in, "the final winner gets to play me!" There was some dissent at this, but the group simmered down. "And I'm the referee."

"Annabeth!" Percy whined. "Why is Nico reffing?"

"Again, because I said so! And he does have an impartiality that will be important," she said.

"But I'm "not his type,"" Percy pointed out.

"Gods, Percy, get over it! Please?" Nico retaliated. Bickering broke out. Eventually, everybody calmed down and resumed sitting quietly. Hazel peered around at her friends, pondering why they were sitting "criss-cross applesauce" in a circle.

Annabeth stood up. "Okay. I'm going to recap for everyone. This will be by rounds. Nico will ref, and the final winner will go against him," she reviewed for the group.

"Wait, one last question," Piper replied. "How do we decide who wins?"

"Oh! Right. We're going to knock down the fourth wall and have the readers vote," Annabeth said.

"Wasn't the fourth wall down already?" Frank asked.

"Well, I suppose," she mused, "but I'm just informing the reviewer who asked."

"Wait. The fourth wall's been down all this time?" Percy looked astonished.

"Yeah, Seaweed Brain. You were just too focused on the sass-off to notice," she replied. "So. Is everybody clear?

"There were murmurs of agreement, and everybody departed.

Last line break of the chapter yaaaay

Nico walked Hazel to their cabin. She had been too tired to say a word all through the meeting, and just laid down after hanging up a sheet between Nico and herself.

Falling asleep, Hazel wondered why the author hadn't really found a way to make this chapter funny or long.

A/N: Sorry for this short chapter. I needed one of the chapters to explain the rules, and I didn't want to write the first battle in this too. Also, quick side note that each chapter will be a round (i. e. next chapter will be Hazel vs. Piper). Also THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

Review replies:

hoOPJO: Thanks! I try to be funny, but it doesn't always work... -_- And I can't PM because Interwebs safety, but feel free to leave an idea in a review!

heartofglass99: Glad you enjoyed it. And I updated (Obviously) :)

smilesandrainbows: Thank you! And the incorporation of the real world was actually kind of random, I just randomly put it in.

RiderPhantomhive: I hope it'll be good. I was gonna have Nico be the ref anyway, but I added in his bonus round just for you. And Leo Sassez? Fabulous. Maybe I'll start a poll to see what his official nickname will be...

catsrawesome: Of course I would update for you! And yeah. I didn't know your gender, but I call everybody bro/bruh. Hope you weren't offended. AND GO SASSINESS YAAAASS

kumquat42: So I hope this chapter answered your question, but if not, the fourth wall is officially knocked down. And you can come to me anytime with your ramblings, I'll listen! And thanks!

Katherington: Thanks!

reynaramirez55 (Guest): Thanks! I'm continuing, as you can see...

BellatrixHazelRose: Thanks! I brought you more story yay! And that would be cool, but we have to see what the votes come down to...
