X June

(Percy)

It's now June 1. There are about twenty days until the summer solstice. I can't tell you exactly how many days, because I wasn't sure when the solstice was, and I'm pretty bad at arithmetic. Everybody in camp has become more restless, more nervous, and more excited about the upcoming battle. Restless and nervous I understood, but I didn't understand why some of the demigods were excited. It made no sense. Why would somebody be excited about a battle in which a lot of them could potentially be slain?

Anyways, I was talking with a group of demigods who had finally managed to help the other Olympians convince Zeus that he should help us. Now, the Olympians were also preparing their battle armor and weaponry. The group assured me that the gods would fight, and I walked off satisfied that at least one part of the plan was going well, even if the other parts were sucking.

George Washington has been a tough opponent. He could counter a lot of the things that Annabeth came up with, including the phalanx and her half-circle defensive line strategy thing that I don't even understand how it works, but would probably work against a normal enemy. I think I know why the enemy also got a huge upgrade in weaponry. Unless I am mistaken, Albert Einstein, the supergenius, had also been in the army. Fortunately, the scientists of the modern world had taken his brain into a lab to study, so this Einstein had to grow a new one. Disgusting, I know, but the point is, this new brain wasn't as smart as his old one. If he still had his old brain, we would've long since been demoralized, so I guess we should say thanks to those scientists who wanted to take his brain to study… weird.

After my talk with the demigods, Nico had another report to give to me.

"I shadow traveled into the middle of their lines and examined the formations and the numbers. I think we're looking at fifteen to sixteen thousand troops, and their formations are pretty complex. I hope Annabeth has a counter to them."

"What do the formations look like?"

"They looked like one of those yin-yang things that the Chinese people have." (A/N I'm not being racist here, I'm just using a pretty cool symbol for a formation.)

"Do you have any idea how it works?"

"No."

"Could you defeat the enemy?"

"No."

"Do you know what it looks like?"

"I suppose I could draw it."

"Cool. Can you do that so that we can show it to Annabeth?"

"Sure. When do you think you'll need it?"

"ASAP of course. We're in the middle of a war here."

"Right, I'll do it as soon as I can. By the way, do you like Hazel?"

"What? Where do you get that kind of question from?"

"Well, I can tell that you don't really like Annabeth anymore…"

"Is it really that obvious that I don't like her?"

"So you don't actually like her? And no, it's not really obvious, I just have knack at spotting things in a relationship."

"Did you go to relationship school or something?"

"No."

"Oh well, I don't like Hazel, and don't you have a map to draw?"

"Rigggght. I'll get to that."

Nico left and I was left wondering how long my secret would last. I didn't like Annabeth anymore. The truth was, I was really missing Reyna. Don't blame me, she just seems more like me, not super smart like Annabeth. I'm not saying that Annabeth is bad or smarts are bad, but Reyna is more like me. I hope Jason won't find out or he's going to try to kick my butt. We can't be fighting amonst ourselves at the moment anyways.

(Third Person)

"Thank you so much Aphrodite!"

"Your welcome, I never knew you were so interested in love and relationships, Athena. After all, you have been an eternal maiden."

"That doesn't mean I don't care about my daughter! I don't think that she should go out with that son of Poseidon. It just doesn't make sense. I mean, come on, Poseidon and I are rivals after all."

"True, but you did say that you would give him the benefit of the doubt."

"Well, he's lost it."

"How?"

"Aphrodite, please stop asking questions. I'm paying you to do this, so you don't get to ask the questions, you just do what I say."

"Fine." Aphrodite pouted. She had liked Annabeth and Percy's relationship. It was really cute and was sooo much better than Paris and Helen's relationship. Still, she couldn't turn down that beautiful necklace made of amber, gold, emeralds, and pearls. It would make her look even more beautiful than before, which for her, was pretty hard to achieve.

Athena's voice cut through her thoughts.

"Well, I'll be leaving now. Make sure that that son of the sea god does NOT get together with my daughter again, or I'll be wanting that necklace back."

"Yes, yes, whatever you say." Aphrodite replied.

After Athena left, Aphrodite spent an hour doing makeup, and admiring herself and her new necklace in the reflection of a mirror. There were a few thousand in her palace, so she didn't really need to look that long to find one, most of that hour was spent admiring herself.

Just then, thunder and lightning flashed. Aphrodite sighed, Zeus was summoning the Olympians again. He had been doing that every day ever since he had agreed to fight with the demigods against Gaea.

Well, Aphrodite thought, I hope this meeting isn't as boring as last time, or else I'll go to sleep and my make up will be ruined.

Did you like it?

I revealed who Percy liked, and if you didn't like that character, please don't come and find me and kill me, I just had to pair Percy with another character, because too many people are doing Percabeth and I'm kind of getting sick with it all.

Leave a long review! I love reviews, and I'll read them. If you have any questions I can answer them too.

Chapter 11 shall be up soon.
