So, we're back at the Greek camp are we? So, we should be able to see the fate of Bethany (sorry, for simplicity's sake I'm going to continue spelling that way.) against the chipmunk. Yeah, I think we know who wins, right? Right? It's a chipmunk. Of course it wins! Or maybe not…
I don't own PJO. Or anything in it. Did you doubt that? Please say that you didn't. Doubt that is.
Megan woke up to the sound of little claws skittering on various materials. Immediately she was on alert. What was it? A monster? What type? She quickly got out of her sleeping bag and stood up. She began to draw her sword before she saw the cause of the noise. A little chipmunk? She started laughing uncontrollably until she heard Bethany say, "It has rabies!" Megan started backing up from the chipmunk. After a long pause, the chipmunk scattered of, and there was a collective sigh in the woken members of the misfit quest.
Kelby woke up at the noise. He saw Megan and Bethany standing on alert, so he quickly got out of his sleeping bag and stood up. He was about to draw his sword when Bethany and Megan started laughing uncontrollably. He asked, "What happened?" Megan choked out through laughter, "A rabid beast attacked." Kelby replied, "And I didn't wake up? I'm really sorry." Bethany fell over laughing at this. Megan continued, "You believe me? It was a chipmunk, a rabid chipmunk. But it was more scared of us than we were of it." Kelby looked at some spot behind Megan. Megan still continued, "I actually had a similar reaction to yours. Don't feel bad." Kelby spoke slowly, "I thought you were talking about the monster behind you."
Amanda woke up late after traveling all day. She was really tired, and, quite frankly, didn't like waking up early. Sunrise just symbolizes night disappearing, which was not her favorite thing. At least some people on the quest were morning birds. When Amanda had woken up, Amy had told her that Cam had just left to go hunting. While Amanda fully woke up, she and Amy were silent, but as soon as Amanda was fully awake, she realized how awkward their situation was. They didn't know anything about each other. They barely knew each other, and yet, they would be spending a lot of time together. So, although painstakingly, Amanda started a conversation with Amy, "So… What do you like to do?" Amy looked at her strangely for a second, then started to speak, "I like to prank Connor and Travis. I battle. Why do you ask?" "No reason really. I like to hang out with Megan." "I already knew that." "I thought you did." There was a long pause, so Amy started sharpening her knife on a rock. Deciding that she had to continue to converse, Amanda said, "How'd you get your knife?" "My father gave it to me when I was a baby. As a charm bracelet." "Your real dad?" "Of course my real dad, silly. Why would my stepfather, of all people, give me a silver knife a present?" "I don't know. Why'd you say, of all people?" "My stepfather and I aren't on the best of terms. I know my mother wants me to accept him, but I can't help but feel betrayed that she married another man." "I wouldn't know how that feels. My dad never married again. I guess I'd feel the same way though."
At this moment Camille came back. She saw the other two talking, which she thought was strange, so she decided to interrupt them, "I'm back. What are you guys talking about?" Amanda shrugged, "Nothing." This kind of ticked Camille off, why wouldn't tell her what they were talking about? Excluding people was mean, and everyone knows the famous line. "Secrets, secrets are no fun unless you share with me." Or something like that. After breakfast the three set off to find Megan, Bethany, and Kelby. Camille tried to bring up what they had been talking about several times, but the topic was always quickly dispersed. It annoyed her. It annoyed her so very, very much.
Amy had just walked into a clearing when she halted. She looked around. Camille quickly piped up, "What is it?" Amy started speaking, "It looks like someone fought a battle here. In addition, I found their map." As Amy picked up the map, Amanda ran up to her, "Whoa, how do you know it's their map?" "It says Megan on it. They're headed to Montauk. They're catching a ferry."
Bethany was a little disheveled. After being attacked by that weird fox creature, they had walked all the way to the Montauk pier. After they had hitch hiked onto a ferry, she realized this. So she felt very self-conscious when a girl with curly hazel color hair approached her and started talking to her. Bethany tried her best to look so as not to be called out for it, but she was pretty sure the girl was appalled. Despite that, the girl was still talking to her, "… where are you going?" That caught Bethany's attention. Where was she going? "Mystic. That's where this ferry lands in Connecticut." "Okay, my family is going to stop drive up to Newton to visit some family, then keep going to Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. My mom is a meteorologist and really wants to see it." "What's a meteorologist?" "It's someone who predicts the weather. By the way, my name is JJ. JJ Valerie." "Okay, nice to meet you. I'm Bethany." "Nice name." "By the way, why do you keep trusting me? So far, you've told me where you live, everyone in your family's names, where your going, what profession your mom is, and what you want to be when you grow up. Why do you keep trusting me?" "Because I know your not a stalker." "Oh? How do you know that, wise one?" "Because you're not a stalker. You're a demigod."
Dun dun dun! There you go. I have now introduced JJ Valerie, and I'm sorry that it took so long. Montauk is a real place, and it has a ferry to Mystic, Connecticut. The reason I chose Newton as a place where she was stopping was because I wanted JJ to be going somewhere else besides Mt. Washinton. I didn't want to choose Boston because it's the capital of Massachusetts. So I chose a major city nearby. I was contemplating between it and Springfield, but I decided that Newton had a cooler name. Well, see you in two weeks, Greeks.
