(A.N.) So…. Second chapter. I give my thanks to Kronos Army for a kind review. If there is any confusion this takes place before the Lightning Thief, around the time when Thalia was turned into a pine tree and Annabeth had reached Camp with Luke. So without further delay, here you peoples go:

Bold- the Last Olympian story

Chapter Two: I Go Cruising With Explosives

Hermes was about to begin,"Chap-", but before he could get anything else out, Ares interrupted, "Do we have to read? It's sooo boring!" "No, it's

not!," thundered Athena. "It's useful, informing, and fun!" "What would you know of fun Athena?", remarked Poseidon. "Stay out of this

Poseidon!" roared back Athena. "Can we just start the gods forsaken book already! The faster we finish the damn book, the more time I'll have

with Persephone!" yelled Hades. "Well, in that case take forever Hermes," said Demeter, munching on some cereal and glaring at her brother.

"Yes, sister dear because we would all rather watch you get high of wheat cereal!" sneered Hades. In the background Poseidon and Athena were

still bickering, while Ares, being Ares was instigating their fight. Apollo and Artemis were also quarreling about which of the two were older. Apollo

kept saying he was the eldest (even though he knows he is the youngest, he just likes pushing his sister's buttons) Hera was disdainfully glaring

at Hephaestus ( she absolutely hated the way he looked) who was ignoring his mother and fixing some mechanical device from his workshop. All

the while, Aphrodite was chatting admirably with, well, herself with a mirror. When the noise became too much Zeus roared, "SILENCE!", who was

actually getting a migraine from all this. "Please, can you all just get along so we may read the book, There might be some valuable information,

perhaps about your downfall, the book is titled The Last Olympian after all. It's a little eerie if you ask me." Chiron stated softly. Hestia started,

"Yes Chiron is-", but could not finish her statement, for Athena had interrupted, "Chiron is correct, the book could provide information of us.

Hermes please begin" Hestia just glared softly at her niece, and laid her head down on Poseidon's shoulder (he was her favorite sibling after all)

She also agreed with him full heartedly; that Athena WAS a boring ( all she did was read and boss people around), uptight ( her niece really

needed to loosen up), attention-seeking, owl-headed, know-it-all. She was the goddess of wisdom, pshhh, so what! Before she could think

anything else Hermes began, Chapter 1: I Go Cruising With Explosives "Who would want to go cruising with explosives? Those people could get

blown up," stated Apollo. "Apollo be quiet! I'm trying to listen!" thundered Athena. Yup, definitely uptight and very narcissistic, thought Hestia. The

end of the world started when a pegasus landed on the hood of my car. "How does the end of the world come like that? That's so boring,"

commented Ares. "There should be death and destruction, and earthquakes and apocalypses! Not a damn pegasus!" Up until then, I was having

a great afternoon. Technically, I wasn't supposed to be driving because I wouldn't turn sixteen for another week, "Then this is not one of my

children," stated Athena "They wouldn't be so insensible" but my mom and my stepdad, Paul took my friend Rachel "Just friend, suuuure," said

Aphrodite. and me to this private stretch of beach on the South Shore, "Ooooh, so this demigod lives in New York!," Squealed Aphrodite "I can

totally mess with his love life even more knowing that he lives close by!" "Aphrodite leave the poor boy alone." Said Poseidon. He didn't know why,

but he felt like he had a connection with this demigod. "When did you get all maternal, brother?" questioned Zeus. Before anything happened

though Hestia said, "Do continue Hermes." and Pal let us borrow his Prius for a short spin. Now, I know what you're thinking, "No, you don't,"

replied Hermes. "Hermes will you get on with the story!" roared Hades. If this was how long a chapter was going to take, he wouldn't be able to

see Persephone off. "Please continue Hermes," Persephone said softly, grasping her husband's hand. Wow, that was really irresponsible of

him, blah, blah, blah, but Paul knows me pretty well. He's seen me slice up demons and leap out of exploding school buildings, "Horrid child,"

sniffed Hera. so he probably figured taking a car out a few hundred yards wasn't exactly the most dangerous thing I'd done. Anyway, Rachel

and I were driving along. It was a hot August day. Rachel's red hair was pulled back in a ponytail and she wore a white blouse over her

swimsuit. I'd never seen her in anything but ratty T-shirt and paint-splattered jeans "Oh she is definitely not my child," said Aphrodite, "My

children have such better taste in apparel." before, and she looked like a million golden drachmas. " Aww, that's so sweet!," squealed

Aphrodite. "Aphrodite leave the boy alone, gods," Poseidon said exasperatedly. "Why are you defending him Poseidon?" asked Demeter. "Yes,

Poseidon why are YOU defending him," asked Zeus. Poseidon just replied," Continue Hermes." "Oh, pull up right there!" she told me. We parked

on a ridge overlooking the Atlantic. The sea is always one of my favorite places, At this statement Poseidon raised an eyebrow. Is this Percy?

He thought. Is he the one of the prophecy? but today it was especially nice- glittery green and smooth as glass, as though my dad was

keeping it calm for us. The room went deathly silent for a moment. Ahh, thought Poseidon, so this is Percy. All was quiet, until Zeus yelled at his

brother "You had a child!" "You had a child as well brother," Poseidon replied calmly. "You do know what this means though!" hissed Athena.

Before Poseidon could answer that, Chiron said," He is the child of the prophecy." "Exactly," hissed back Athena "Our lives lie in the hands of an

idiot sea spawn!" "My son is not a spawn, nor is he an idiot!" roared Poseidon, while unleashing his glare on Athena. Everyone avoided his glare,

even Zeus. Although Zeus was the king of the gods, his brother had the look of cold fury that only he and mother Rhea had down pact. "Please

continue on Hermes," Poseidon stated softly, surprisingly. But before Hermes could begin to read there was a flash of bright blue light, a tangle of

limbs, and a resounding thump.

(A.N.) Well, that's it for right now. Should I keep the story going? Tell me.
