So I got the idea for this chapter after my school had a pep rally and I thought that a certain part of this would be funny.

After briefly explaining what the activities were and how they were played, Apollonia started to talk about her other room mates, who were also counselors. There was her best friend, Becca, who was an energetic nineteen year old with a mane of black hair, and a small height. Victoria who knew about everyone and everything that involved superheroes or classic cartoon movies with brown wavy hair, tan skin, brown eyes and a friendly smile that matched her personality. Nicole, a girl with wild, curly hair and a wild personality. She was the one out of the three that could convince anyone to do the craziest things. One time Nicole convinced her three roommates to sneak out of camp grounds and hitch a ride to the nearest city. They got into big trouble with by receiving a month's worth of chores extra and physical activities just for themselves as punishment. By the end of the month, the girls were so sore from running up and down the mountains that their legs were stiff and frigid, but according to them, it was all worth it.
They talked more about their lives and got to know each other a lot better. Elsa and Anna talked about their struggle to over come their parents' death (even though they still struggled), their life back at Arendelle, their whole conflict between them and Hans and Elsa's ice castle.
The sisters in return got to know Apollonia's past and family. The brunette was believed to be a demigod but none of the gods have claimed her. No one knew if her potential mother or father could be so far no one knew of a god or titan that could control the ground, ice, water and fire. Both of her parents refused to say which god or titan she was the spawn of. Her friends/potential siblings had the same problem and since they had the same abilities, they got their own cabin.
Apollonia was born in Sicily but her father moved his family to America when she was only a baby. She had four older siblings, three brothers and a sister, but one of the boys was adopted when he was seven. She had no uncles or aunts saying that her mother was an only child and the only brother her father had died when he was a child, but she considered her father's friends as her family so she didn't mind. Apollonia's siblings were all married with children of their own, except her brother, Freddie, he was still living the single life but he admitted he was looking to settling down and having a family as well. Apollonia's father, Vincent, was very well-respected by others and returned their respect because he always told his children, "A person who doesn't give respect doesn't deserve anything good in life." She said that her father owned a big company that had connections all over the world, which mafe her family was very out her "special abilities", as her father would put it, ran in her family and she was never looked down upon or outed from her family. They helped her with controlling it for the first twelve years of her life but she and her parents agreed that she would learn more at Camp Half-Blood so they sent Apollonia to the camp when she turned thirteen. Apollonia visited her family in New York as much as possible during the summer and always returned when fall rolled around the corner. Since she was the youngest out the bunch, she was welcomed back with open arms and was playfully teased by her brothers, knowing it bugged her to no end but she didn't mind. Connie, her older sister, was very close to Apollonia and always looked out for her but sometimes it felt like the other way around considering Connie didn't have the best of luck with finding men who respected her and loved her for her, not their family wealth.
The cabin's front door opened as a young girl in shorts and a black t-shirt with the sleeves cut off entered. Her face showed that she was Japanese and exhausted from a long days work. She said nothing but a loud grunt as she jumped into the seat next to Apollonia. "You okay, Becca?" The Sicilian girl asked. She was answered with a muffled groan but she made her friend lift her head and answer properly. "I said I'm freaking tired and I don't want to be apart of tonight's rally." Becca said, then let her head fall back onto the cushion. "Sorry, but it's camp rules and exhaustion is no excuse." Apollonia said.
"Well that's easy for you to say, I had to be outside with the hot sun on my face all day while watching over YOUR campers! Oh, and you're welcome, by the way!"
"For what?"
"For me taking your place while you showed the new girls the camp. No else wanted to look after your group!"
"Why not? Those kids are like angels."
"Yeah when you're around!" She flipped herself over she was on her back. "They wouldn't listen to a damn thing I said and one of your little 'angels' almost gave one of my kids third degree burns just because he was annoyed!"
"Hmm, that sounds like Timmy, he has the worst temper out of everyone. I'm sorry about his bad behavior."
"Yeah well, you should be!" Becca yelled but immediately regretted her outburst when she saw Elsa and Anna watching her with eyes as wide as saucers. "I'm sorry, I'm just tired. Didn't get enough sleep last night. I'm guessing those two are the new girls?"
"Yes, and they have names," Apollonia stood and made Becca followed her lead. "Becca meet Elsa and Anna, the royal family of Arendelle." They shook hands. "Elsa, Anna, meet my crazy best friend, you're going to be seeing a lot of her."
"Hi."
"Hello."
"Hey," Becca turned to face her younger friend. "Did you tell them about the rally?"
Elsa and Anna raised an eyebrow. Almost as if she read they're minds, Apollonia explained. "We do this whenever we get new guests or campers, they're different every time, though. Tonight is a lip sync rally where other counselors and I move our lips to lyrics of songs while dancing, along with some campers who signed up to participate. And dancing certainly has changed drastically over the years."
"By the way, we have to leave at six thirty to get them to their seats," Becca gestured toward the sisters. "And for us to do a last-minute rehearsal before dinner is served. Also you two have to put on those t-shirts with 'GUEST' written on it." They did as they were told and were led outside to an out-door auditorium with the stage flat on the ground and the seats towering high, at the edge of the camp barrier. Campers of all ages were filing the inside quickly, a lot of them were rather exciting to see how the rally would turn out. Elsa and Anna were a little uncomfortable wearing the slightly baggy shirt, sneakers that Apollonia leant them and shorts that revealed a little too much of their legs, in their opinions. They sat in the front row having a great view of the stage. Modern music was being blared from gigantic speakers and both of the sisters were trying to listen to the lyrics of a rap song, but the artist was speaking too fast so it was hopeless. "How do people enjoy this music?" Anna yelled to Elsa. The older sister just shrugged her shoulders, not being able to find an answer.
The lights on top of the rails above the highest seats, switched to different colors and were lot on the stage. Apollonia walked out from behind the stage with a microphone in her hand. "What's up Camp Meta!" Apollonia yelled, getting excited screams and woots from the campers. "Oh come on! Is that the scream you can give me? I want to hear all of you! You guys want to get this rally started?" The screams got even louder, making Elsa and Anna cover their ears. "That's what I like to hear!" Apollonia yelled. "Now, before we get down to all these songs we have ready for you, I gotta introduce you all to some new friends of mine," she walked to Elsa's and Anna's seats and practically dragged them to the stage, ignoring their protests. "Everyone give a big scream to ANNA AND ELSA!" The campers complied with a scream even louder than the last. Elsa could've sworn she heard her eardrums pop. Apollonia let them return to their seats. They watched with interest as campers from ages thirteen to eighteen stepped on stage and danced and lip sync their lives away. So far their favorite one was a counselor named Henry who had a great sense of humor and no regrets. He came on stage wearing a women's dress covered in flowers that ended just above his knee, lip syncing to something about a woman and a wrecking ball. Whatever that was.
By the near end Apollonia once again came out, only this time with a group of other counselors that were around her age and if not older. "Alright everyone, we've had a pretty great night but now it's time for the best!" A series of screams ripped through the once silence air, meaning the big finale was coming. "That's right, your awesome counselors are gonna give you the performance of a life time! Let's get ready!" She tossed her microphone to the side as she and the others took a certain place on stage and waited for the music to begin. It started off energetic with a rap song that easy to dance to then they all grabbed a dance partner of the opposite sex. The guys knelt down and pretended to propose to the girls as a love song came on. Then the girls pretended to repulsed by the men as they threw their fake engagement rings into the deep amidst of the woods when a song about ending a relationship came up. It was rather entertaining but the ending was the best part. It consisted of all the counselors doing the same dance moves together as a small part of a song, from what sounded to be a group of young men singing, came on. Some of the counselors danced as other snippets of music came on as Apollonia and some others ran back stage and came back a bag full of treats. They threw all the contents to the crowd, except Apollonia had full-sized chocolate bars so she tossed some up to the out reached hands on the higher seats and handed some to the first row. As she was handing them out she used both of her hands to give two of the chocolate bars to Anna and Elsa. As they took theirs, both of their hands lightly grazed the soft, smooth skin of Apollonia's hands. Both Elsa and Anna felt an electric feeling go through their bodies as their hands lingered for a bit but quickly pulled back when they realized that Apollonia had many other bars of chocolate to hand out. She left and took that electric feeling with her just as fast as she came, leaving the sisters to wonder what that feeling could've meant and if the other felt the same feeling. Most importantly, did Apollonia have the same feeling?
