"And that's the camp!" I explained to the new camper.
"Wow this place is pretty awesome!" She explained. "So, who's my dad?"
"Well, until you're claimed you'll stay in the Hermes cabin, but I can make a guess. What do you like to do?" I asked her.
"Well, I like to build things." She replied.
"Then my best guess would be Hephaestus, but to be sure we have to wait until you're claimed." I said.
"How long will that take?" She sighed.
"Hopefully not that long. Poseidon's son, Percy Jackson had the gods make a promise to claim their children faster than they used to." I answered. As the words we're out of my mouth a flaming hammer glyph appeared above her head.
"And I was right, you are a Hephaestus kid!" I exclaimed.
"Huh?"
"Hephaestus' glyph just appeared above your head. Come on, let's go let Chiron." I urged her.
We walked to the Big House where Chiron was sitting on the front porch.
"Chiron, Hephaestus just claimed her, would you like me to take her to Cabin 9?" I asked.
"That would be fine Magdalene, have Leo show her around the cabin."
We walked to Cabin 9, the Hephaestus cabin and walked in.
"Hey Leo, this is Kelsey she's new and she was just claimed. Chiron told me to tell you to show her around."
"Cool, I'll take it from here." Leo said with a smile.
As I walked out the door I heard Leo talking to Kelsey. "So Kelsey welcome to the Hephaestus cabin, I'm Leo, the head counselor…"
I smiled.
"Hey Magdalene! What's up?" My best friend Julia asked.
"Nothing much, just finished showing a new camper around camp, you?" I asked.
"Not much either. Andrew asked me if I'd meet him in the rec room after dinner." She explained. Andrew, her boyfriend was the head counselor of Cabin 20, the Hebe cabin, whereas Julia was head counselor of the Demeter cabin.
"And you said…"
"Yes, of course. Do you want to come and bring Pollux?"
"I told him we could go by the pier tonight, but thanks anyway." Pollux had been my boyfriend for almost a year now. When his brother, Castor died I was there to comfort him and be his friend, and well, we fell in love.
"That's cool, have you asked Chiron about taking over the sing-along?" Julia asked.
"Not yet, I did ask Mr. D." I replied.
"And of course he said yes, he just adores you because you're dating Pollux."
"Well, it is good to have Mr. D on my side, but I still have to have Chiron's permission." I explained.
"I'll come with you if you want." She offered.
"That's be great, let's go."
We walked back up to the Big House where Chiron was still sitting on the front porch.
"So Chiron, how would you like to have some great entertainment that could even make Hephaestus TV?" I asked with a smile.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"Well as Apollo Cabin Leader, and on behalf of the Apollo cabin I'd like to ask if we could take over the sing-along. Just for one night of course… unless everyone wants us back…"
"And what exactly do you plan to do?" He asked.
"Well, just take some songs, do some remixes, put on an awesome show!"
"Have you asked Mr. D?"
"Yes and—"
"I'm guessing he said yes of course."
"Yeah." I said sheepishly.
"Well then I guess you could, but only for one night!"
"Thank you so much Chiron, we won't disappoint you!" I gushed.
"Well, this will have to be put on tonight, right after dinner." He said.
"Of course!"
We walked back down the path to the cabins.
"Tonight, there's no way you can pull off what you wanted to do in only 5 hours!" Julia exclaimed.
"Oh, watch me!" I said smiling.
I walked into the Apollo cabin and said, "Guys, we got the gig, but we have to try and pull it off tonight. Come up with some songs, I've got to go talk to the Hephaestus cabin." I said quickly before walking right back out the door. I jogged over to the Hephaestus cabin and swung open the door.
"Guys, we need an amazing stage set up with some great lights and effects, but we need it by tonight, think you can pull it off?" I asked.
"Of, course, let's get to work guys!" Leo replied.
