I don't own PJO.

Elle was knee deep in CHB t-shirts searching for the right sizes for all the Olympians. No one quite knew what size they wore. The guys were all swimming in their normal, human sizes. They were slimmer and shorter than they typically were. The girls, ugh, don't even get her started on them.

Artemis wanted to wear the baggiest clothes possible, so that none of the boys would stare at her. Aphrodite wanted the opposite. The others just wanted clothes that fit, which was turning out to be a problem.

Where were her friends from the Aphrodite cabin when she needed them?

Luckily jeans had been so much easier to find. Athena was wearing an old pair of Elle's considering that her daughter had extremely long legs for her petite size. It was a little snug in the rear though, not that Poseidon minded or was looking, silly assuming mortal.

Finally everyone had clothes so they moved on to weapons. Luckily as an Athena child this was no problem. Poseidon, Zeus, Hades, and Hermes had picked up just a sword each, though they were still put out about losing their weapons when they switched to their current teenage form. Demeter, Hera, and Aphrodite each only had a dagger; they didn't expect to fight anytime soon. Apollo and Artemis hadn't lost their bows, just their gold and silver arrows, so when they got some new quivers they were fine.

Ares and Athena were the most armed. They each had a spear, sword, dagger, and shield hidden somewhere along their body.

"Why are you staring at me?" Athena asked a bewildered sea god.

"Uh," he stuttered slightly, "just wondering where you managed to fit those weapons." Typically she would have responded with something along the lines of 'They're magic you vlakas!'

But today she simply laughed and said, "Some places you'll never see." Then she winked and walked away following her daughter.

Apollo gave his uncle a weird look, "Hey Un…" Poseidon gave him a look, "Dylan, what was up with that?"

"Not a clue," he decided shaking his head.

"She's been like that lately," his nephew decided.

Poseidon sighed. "It must be those stupid teenage hormones." He gave Apollo a look that said he didn't want to talk about it anymore which only made the other god smirk before running off to catch his sister.

He had barely begun to annoy his sister when someone called out to him. "Hey you, dork!"

No one in the group turned around, but Elle gritted her teeth. The voice tried again, "Dude with the hot sister! Look at me." Hermes looked at Artemis from the corner of his eye, but no one stopped moving. "Wimp with the arrows!" it finally voiced.

Apollo turned around finally. "Me?" he asked shocked, what kind of idiot thought Arty was hot?

"Yes, you!" a tall, muscle-bound teenage boy called. "What's your name dork?" He crossed his arms expectantly.

"Rafael," he replied coolly trying to walk away from the annoying boy.

"Cabin?" the dude asked gruffly.

"Apollo," he shot back. "What about you, you gotta name?"

He sneered. "Figures, dweeb name for a dweeb cabin." He grabbed Apollo by the collar of his shirt. "Listen, dork. My name doesn't matter; all you need to know is that I run the Ares cabin now that my big sis is off at college. And that makes me the king of camp. And I don't take kindly to wimpy long range weapon owners around here. Got it?"

"I don't take to idiots harassing my friends," Elle said. "Drop him."

He glared at her. "Shut up nerd."

She scoffed. "Who holds the laurels currently? I don't think it's you." She looked at Ares. "Meet Wyatt, your new brother. I'm sure you can go be idiots together."

Ares glared at her as his son appraised him warily. "He needs bulked up." The boy began to walk away. "Well dude you coming?"

He looked to Aphrodite for confirmation. She smiled sweetly, "You go ahead sweetie, have some bonding time."

"Okay," he started down the hill after him. "I'll see you later Lorelei!" His son started muttering something to him about not listening to women if you wanted to have anything close to a reputation here.

Artemis stood there fuming. "I'll show that pig why he should be listening to women!"

Her sister grabbed her shoulders. "Gwen its fine, don't give in to this."

"That's easy for you to say," she told Athena bitterly, "he didn't dare flirt with you!" She looked curiously at her sister as she stumbled a bit while she was staring at her. "Are you okay Liv? You look a little green…" The wisdom goddess shook her head and gave her a genuine but shaky smile.

"Just, disgusted with the thought of that pig flirting with me," she reasoned letting go of her little sister. She looked over to the shocked blonde who still hadn't moved. "You okay Apollo?"

He blinked. "He just insulted me."

"Numerous times," Poseidon added helpfully.

"Big word for such a small brain," Hades remarked with a laugh getting a high five from Zeus.

His other brother glared menacingly. "You're so lucky I can't use my powers." His brother's smiled triumphantly. "I still wouldn't go near the bathroom, if I were you though. I heard the plumbing is pretty…faulty here. It might even explode in your face if we're lucky."

Athena sighed. "If you nail me or any of my cabin members with water, I'll get you."

"I don't know, your expressions would be priceless…"

"You would watch us in the showers?" she asked.

With a smirk he shrugged his shoulders. "I might to find out where you're hiding those weapons of yours." He touched her arm lightly and winked to illustrate his point.

Athena laughed. "Well I might have to let you, keep your enemies close I always say." She pulled him a little closer. "Of course I do know where your weapon is anyway though." She smirked a little and whispered in his ear. "Unless you're just happy to see me."

She pulled back and looked a little light headed, but she shook it off. Her daughter looked at her curiously something was definitely wrong. "Why don't I show you all your cabins? I think a nap might be in order. Follow me."

The group went after her with Poseidon and Hermes trailing behind. "You can breathe now uncle," he laughed.

Poseidon hit him upside the head. "Please Ryder, you didn't shower for a week that one time Gwen hugged you." He pointed to Artemis as if to make a point. "If you can lust after a maiden goddess when you're perfectly normal, then I'm allowed to have a few…confused…feelings about one when I'm hormonally imbalanced."

The messenger god merely laughed. "Dude, as long as I'm invited to the wedding."

And ladies and gentleman, that's how the rest of camp met the new campers. By the screaming blonde Hermes child being chased through the strawberry fields by someone who claimed to be in the Demeter cabin but couldn't actually grow plants. It was also the moment Elle first felt like bashing her head through a wall. Then again she did always know the gods would be the death of her.

A/N:

So I'm sorry for how OOC Athena is but I was in the mood for some extreme flirting today. Yeah, blame it on the hormones or lack of sleep. Either way she'll be back to normal, or as normal as I'm going to make her, after her nap next chapter.

Ughh can you imagine what it's like to pick out clothes for Aphrodite? And I thought I was picky!
