Percy Meets His #1 Fan
Just as fan fiction was loading me onto the site, there was a knock at the door. I didn't pay much attention to it until I heard Annabeth say, "Hey, Percy."
I shrieked and quickly turned around. Everyone in the cabin had gone into defense mode again. Percy brought out the famous Riptide. I blushed and quickly said, "Uh… Sorry. False alarm."
With another sigh from the entire cabin, everyone went back to their business. Annabeth walked over to me, smiling, and asked, "Do you want to meet Percy?"
"Oh, no," I said sarcastically. I turned, grabbed a pen off of my desk and my copy of Battle of the Labyrinth and ran over to Percy. When I got to the door, though, I saw another familiar acne covered face. I think my heart might have stopped. This was way too much for me to take. "Oh my gods," I said, feeling dizzy. Here I was, standing right in front of Percy Jackson and Grover Underwood. I offered the book and pen, my hand trembling. I hoped that Percy got the message.
Percy smiled. "A fan, I see. Sweet." He took the book and wrote on the cover page. When he handed it back, I could see that it read,Rick Riordan/Perseus Jackson.
I felt like crying, and shouting in joy, and fainting, and crumpling up and dying all at once. "You are an awesome writer!" I said. My eyes were filling with tears. I was having a moment.
Percy laughed. "Don't worry. Everyone gets this way when they first get to camp."
Suddenly, an alarm on Annabeth's watch went off. Percy and Annabeth smiled, but Grover groaned and said, "Not that again."
They both ignored him. Annabeth nodded towards me. "Come with us, I wanna show you something."
I nodded, feeling honored. Percy and Annabeth turned and sprinted to the big house, having some kind of argument that I could not follow.
"Sunshine should win," said Annabeth.
"No, Amy should win," argued Percy.
"I should've won," bleated Grover. They started laughing at this, but I just got confused.
"Huh?" I asked as we stopped in the hallway of the big house. Annabeth and Percy smiled at each other as they opened up door to the left. Inside it was a couch, a soda cooler, and a television.
"Whoa!" I said. "I don't remember reading about this in any of you books!"
Percy shrugged. "I'll put it in book five. Now, come on! It's starting." He jumped onto the couch and flicked on the TV. It looked like a game show or something. "Is this America's Got Talent?" I asked, confused.
Percy and Annabeth burst into laughter. "Good one, Amanda," said Annabeth, but then she looked at my questioning look and said, "Oh… you were serious."
"Yeah," I said slowly.
"SHH! It's on!" said Percy, as the screen turned to a blonde guy and an emo-looking boy.
"Hello and welcome to—" said the guy.
"I wanna say it!" said the boy.
The blonde guy sighed and said, "Fine."
"DEMIGODS GOT TALENT!" said the boy. My mouth dropped open. Had I read something like this before?
"Brought to you by Rainstorm of Windclan, a multibillionaire funding for this show," said the blonde dude.
"This is the elimination round," said Percy. Annabeth chewed her thumb nervously.
Grover seemed really sad. "I should be on this show right now," he said. "I mean, who else can play reed pipes? Playing guitar with your feet is no substitute for my music."
"Shh," said Percy, leaning closer to the screen.
The next hour seemed to go bye in this suspenseful show. I found myself rooting for Ali, the girl who grew plants. Grover complained throughout the whole show that he should've won.
At the end of the show, Percy and Annabeth turned to each other grinning. Even Grover had perked up when the guy who played guitar with his feet got voted off. "Well, that was fun," said Annabeth happily.
Percy nodded in agreement. "Can't wait until the semi-finals." (A/N: ME NEITHER!!)
"Wow," I said, smiling. "Thanks for letting me watch, guys!"
"Eh, no prob," said Percy.
Annabeth checked her watch and said, "We should get beck to the cabins. Dinner is in a half an hour."
Percy, Annabeth, and Grover started to walk out, chatting. I hung back and reflected my day. This had to be the best day ever. I met Percy, went to camp half-blood, found out who my real mom was… Oh my gods! I forgot about my dad! He was probably at home worried sick about me! Having two broken windows and a busted door in the house probably won't make him too optimistic about where I am. I ran out the door, looking for someone to help. I spotted Chiron and ran to him. "Chiron!" I shouted.
He turned to me and smiled." Hello Amanda, how are you liking Camp Half-Blood so far?"
"I need to contact my dad," I said, out of breath.
Chiron thought for a second, then reached into a saddlebag on his back and pulled out a golden coin. "You should know what to do with this," he said, tossing it to me.
I nodded and ran towards the ocean where a nice mist was thrown into the air, making a rainbow. "O goddess, accept my offering," I said, tossing the coin. The rainbow swallowed the coin, so I figured that was my cue. "Ben Jade, 42nd Street, New York," I told it.
The mist became an image of my dad looking sick. He was sitting in the kitchen, thinking so hard that he was red in the face. All around him was caution tape, blocking off the busted door and window. "Dad!" I shouted, relieved.
My dad sat bolt upright and turned to me. "Amanda!" he shouted. He came towards the image. "Amanda, sweetie. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, dad. I'm at Camp Half-Blood."
My dad became pale in the face. "So they told you everything. You know who you are?"
"Yes," I said, nodding sadly.
"Amanda, I love you, and I want you to be safe," he said.
"Dad, don't worry, I'm coming back for the winter," I said.
My dad looked afraid. "But the monsters will come for you. You won't be safe."
"I'll train here, dad. I'll be able to defeat the monsters when they come around!" I said, my eyes tearing up.
My dad looked uncertain. "Just be absolutely sure that you're prepared if you come back," he said fearfully. "Make sure you can defend yourself."
I nodded. "Yes, dad. Don't worry, I will."
He nodded. "I have to go, dear. I love you."
"Bye, dad. I love you," I said. I waved my hand threw the mist, cutting the connection. Then, I turned and ran towards the Athena cabin. I still had some fan fictions to show Annabeth.

Hi! Sorry that I didn't have much action in it. I'm (obviously) going to be showing Annabeth some more stories next, so if you told me your story it will probably appear in the next chapter. I'd like to give credit for the story- DEMIGODS GOT TALENT to Rainstorm of Windclan, it's an awesome story, so if your story didn't appear in this chapter, keep an eye out for the next chapter! You might strike some publicity. Anyway, I hope you liked it! Next chapter should be up soon!
