Okay so i'm really sorry for such a late update, i've been running around and been sitting on my butt doing nothing, sorry about that but now here is chapter 10, it's funny (or at least it think it is) and quirky, enjoy!
Disclaimer: if i was R.R then i would not be on this site wasting my time, i would be out there in the big wide world writting for you guys.
OH MY QUACKING GODS
"Umm…. Yeah, I'm scared." Stewart whimpered.
"Don't worry, Percy will pull this off, and by the end we'll all be claimed, wont we Percy?" she said staring me straight in the eye, giving me the say yes or die look that I have come to know so very well. I gulped, and nodded my head, I heard myself saying yes, but under my breath, muttered I hope.
"So where to now?" Rebecca said, clapping her hands together in a business like fashion.
"Well we still have to invite, Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, and Hermes. So let's invite Hermes last just incase we cant find all of the Olympians here, that way he can deliver…" I said trailing off, because just then a shadow fell over us and a voice behind me boomed,
"PERSAUS JACKSON!" oh shit, I mumbled, Zeus. I mentally cringed, when he practically yelled my name, even after I saved his godly butt from Kronos he and I still weren't exactly best of buds. I slowly turned around to face, my uncle Zeus, the God of God's. He looked at me for a moment, before saying.
"So young hero, what brings you to Olympus on this bright and sunny day?" he was definitely in a good mood, or maybe it was just the fact that he was holding a large glass of what looked like ambrosia.
"OH MY QUACKING GODS!" Rebecca said a bit too loudly, staring straight at Zeus. Zeus just chuckled at this comment and stuck out his hand towards Rebecca,
"Aw… so this is the young lady that I have heard so much about." Zeus said smiling while shaking a dumb-struck Rebecca's hand. "And yes I am a god, but alas I do not quack, if you want to see a god bark though, go look at Ares, he's barking mad!" Zeus laughed at his own joke, yep this confirms it I thought my uncle is definitely drinking… or on crack…. Or both.
"Umm… Mr. Zeus, how do you know about Rebecca?" a quizzical voice coming from Harry asked.
"Well, your ratings of Hephaestus T.V. are quiet good." He said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Wait," Stewart stammered, "we have a show, on Hephaestus T.V.?"
"Yes, you do. In fact the show is called CAMP HALF-BLOOD, and this is what my son likes to call, "The Percy tails" spelled T-A-I-L like a fishes tail." He giggled and continued, "See, you're all in it. It follows Percy around, and umm… yes it's quite entertaining." He concluded, staring at us expectantly, almost as if he expected us to do something cool or entertaining, but all we did was gawk at him.
"So you never answered my first question, what brings you to Olympus on this bright and sunny day?" he asked staring down at us.
"Apollo." Stewart murmured under his breath. Zeus burst into laughter, he dropped his drink, slapped his thighs, rolled around on the floor for a good 5 minuets till he could finally stop laughing for long enough to say, "Boy, oh Boy, that was quacking hilarious!" he paused for a moment comprehending what he just said the fell into a peel of laughter again saying something like "quacking, I said quacking! Hahaha!"
"I give up!" I said throwing my hands up into the air. I took the invite labeled Zeus out of my pocket and walked over to his throne and placed it upon it. I turned around and motioned to my group to come on, we still had more invites to deliver.

After walking for at least 3 miles all over Olympus we found a huge building labeled "The Big Gods Sleep Here."
"Should we knock first?" Harry asked, looking quizzically at the door.
"Umm… okay." I gulped, raised my fist and knocked three times on the door. The door swung open slowly reveling a room so big and beautiful that it rivaled the throne room. I heard Rebecca gasp, and again a "holy shit" escaped from Stewart's mouth. We walked in. Harry walked over to the center of the room where there was this big "YOU ARE HERE" sign. We looked at the thing for a moment before Harry said,
"Man, this place is big."
Rebecca piped up, "Can we go see Aphrodite first? Please? Please? Please?" she said staring all of us in the eye; she seemed really eager all of the sudden.
"And why in the world would you wish to meet Aphrodite?" a sly looking Stewart said, sounding a bit smug. Rebecca blush bright pink.
"Umm… I… I just wanted to… umm" she stammered.
"Come again, I didn't quiet catch that last bit" Harry said arching his eyebrows.
"I just wanted to ask her a question! Sheesh, you guys are so nosey!" and with that she walked off in the direction that I can only assume was the way to Aphrodite's bedroom.
"Shall we follow her?" Stewart asked, gazing at Rebecca as she sauntered off down the hall.
I shrugged my shoulders, "might as well." I said and set off down the hall after Rebecca.
We walked in silence for what seemed like ages until Rebecca gasped.
"This is it." She whispered
"This is the goddess of loves room."

I saw Stewart and Harry quickly glance at each other, then look at Rebecca, then slowly turned there heads towards me. I could see the anxious look in there eyes, and I knew that they too had questions to ask the goddess. All three of them turned again to look at me, so I gave them the game plan.
"Okay, here's how this is going to work." I said bringing the group into a huddle.
"Were going to go in there and invite the goddess, then Rebecca, you ask her your question first, then Harry, and then Stewart. And umm… she might possibly want to talk to me, just a heads up on that." I looked all of them in the eye.
"Got it, let's go." Stewart said breaking away from the huddle.
"Not so fast buddy ol'pal, there's one last thing." I said, remembering something from before, "the goddess of love is tricky, sly, and very, very beautiful. Be warned, she is more clever then she seems." My voice dropped low, and all three of them stared at me with what I can only assume was terror in there eye's.
"But no worries" I continued, chuckling lightly.
"The worst she can do is make your life hell" and with that I strolled over and threw open the doors and looked inside, nearly screamed and ran away, but I just could not unglue my eyes from what was going on before me. There was Aphrodite, making out with Hermes. Boy, this day was so not what I was expecting.
Suddenly they broke apart; Hermes gave us one startled look and the started to glow. We all looked away quickly. We slowly turned around to see a flustered Aphrodite pouting and flopping down onto a pink couch.
"So, what do you little godlings doing, you interrupted a perfectly good makeout ses-" she looked agitated, then comprehension dawned on her face.
"Oh! Percy, I didn't see you there, come in come in"
"Oh and these must be your little friends, I must say I love your show. You demigods are hysterical!" she looked at us, probably wondering why we were just standing there just gawking at her.
"Oh Great Goddess! We are your humble servants!" Harry said, throwing himself onto the floor and kissing her feet.
"Umm… sorry, our friend here is a bit mental." Stewart said, reaching down and pulling Harry up to his feet by his shirt collar and hissed in his ear,
"What the bloody hell do you think your doing, if you give her a bad impression it reflects on us and I'm never going to get together with- oh never mind, just get a grip and stop sucking up!"
And with that he threw him away, disgusted.
"Umm… so anyhow were here to invite you to this amazing party that Percy's throwing on Friday, you game?" Rebecca asked, she was positively beaming.
"Oh Goody! A Half-Blood party I can hardly wait!" the goddess squealed.
"Great- here's the invite, now if you'll excuse us we really must be going." I said, turning to walk out the door.
"Uh-Hem!" Rebecca cleared her throat.
"Oh yeah, and we have a couple questions to ask you first." I said rolling my eyes at all three of my love-struck campers.
"Oh does this, per say have anything to do with the lovely Annabeth?" she said winking at me, I blush scarlet. Shit how she knew, oh wait, she's the goddess of love for a reason. Maybe she has a reason for making out with Hermes? Hum… I wonder
"Uh…" I stammered.
"No, this has to do with me." Rebecca said, blushing crimson and looking down at the floor.
"Well then, what is it? Half-Blood gossip is always ten times more interesting than anything the mortals can cook up!" she said, leaning closer to Rebecca, gazing at her expectantly.
"Can we kind of, umm, talk about this in private?"
"Why Yes! Of Course Dear, Come sit down and we'll have a nice little chat."
"Thank you" Rebecca said looking grateful, then walked forward and sat next to the goddess.
"Now you boys shoe!" and with that we walked out of the room.
REBECCA'S POINT OF VIEW:
"So who is it?" the goddess asked.
"Don't you already know?" I asked confused.
"Yes I do, but it's more fun when you tell me. I promise that I'll act really surprised." The Goddess said winking at me.
"Fine, okay. So as you know, it's Stewart."
"Oh Goody! This is perfect!" she squealed.
"Umm, why is this perfect?" now I was really confused.
"Now my dear, you simply can't tell me that you don't know how this situation is just simply perfect for you?" she said, gazing quizzically at me.
"Umm… no. I think you lost me there." I said, racking my brains for some vague reason why this situation is perfect, guess what I came up with. Nothing. Nada. Zero. Did I say nothing yet?
"Oh." She looked a little crest fallen, did I say something wrong?
"Well, I know that you know why this is perfect? Right? Come on think!" she said staring right into my eyes, boring holes into my head, it seemed like she was trying to force the knowledge into me. And then it clicked the perfect plan, she knew it and I knew it, and we both squealed and hugged for the joy that the only thing going to be bigger than this was Helen and Paris, and possibly Percy and Annabeth. But they don't count.
"Thank you great goddess," I mumbled awestruck at how someone so featherbrained could come up with such amazing plans. And with that I walked out of the room.
