I am so so so sorry for not updating! My computer hasn't been working and I have been busy with high school work. But it's almost the end of the tri and my computer worked for today (we will see how long that lasts), so this is me celebrating! Enjoy and please review! (I'd like to get at least three reviews each chapter and that really hasn't happened much yet so please please please leave a review!)

Chapter 4:

Previously...

"Mom," Rose began, "There's something we need to talk about." Jackie's eyebrows knit together in concern and confusion as Rose told her why they were there. "We need to talk about my father."

And now!

Jackie looked at Rose confused. "What do you mean?" Jackie asked. Rose proceeded to tell her mother about the Doctor and her unplanned trip to Camp Half-Blood. After explaining everything to her mother Rose looked at her questioningly. "So?" Rose inquired.

Jackie had confusion written plainly on her face. She mouthed the name "Apollo" softly to herself before walking into the living room of the apartment and bringing out a binder from under one of the couch cushions. She flipped through several pages filled with pictures if Rose: baby Rose in a new dress, Rose on her first day of school, Rose on her eighth birthday, Rose and Mickey on a Ferris wheel. Finally she found a page in the binder that had a big photo filling the page. It was one with a younger looking Jackie with a tall and handsome young man who had a slight glowing aura around him. Both were smiling toward an unseen camera, the man with his right arm curled around her back and resting on her hip. Jackie was holding a small bundle wrapped tightly in a blanket. The man had a huge grin on his face as he had his picture taken with his family. Jackie sniffed slightly before managing to say something.

"This was a picture taken of you, me, and your father three days before the accident," Jackie managed to say to Rose. "He always sort of glowed with happiness and I loved to be around him, but when he died-," she choked on her words slightly before finishing. "When he died I never even got to see his body."

Rose broke her gaze from the picture and looked to her mother. "So, you never even knew he wasn't actually dead?" She asked.

"No. I didn't." Jackie looked at Rose with tear filled eyes. "Have you seen him?" She asked softly.

Rose looked down at the floor. "No. I thought you would have known who he was." A new kind of hard light entered Jackie's eyes as she thought of something. Her gaze flitted back to the photo and the loving gaze came back.

"He has had other children then?"

Rose rubbed the back of her neck and awkwardly replied, "Yeah."

They talked some more and Rose helped the Doctor make some lunch. The binder lay left open as the three ate and talked. One hour passed, then two, and then three.

"Well," Jackie said standing up and closing the binder, returning it to its residence under the couch cushion. "You'd better be off then. And," she looked up at Rose with a sad look. "If-," Jackie inhaled deeply, "If you do happen to see your father. Tell him hello for me okay?"

Rose nodded and hugged her mother. The Doctor even got a surprise hug from Jackie. Naturally that wasn't going to be the only thing he got. "Now Doctor," Jackie scolded him. "You'd better keep my Rose safe, you hear?"

"Yes ma'am," the Doctor replied exaggerating a salute. Jackie rolled her eyes. After Rose and Jackie had embraced once more the Doctor and Rose walked out to the TARDIS. The Doctor walked into the TARDIS and Rose followed. A second later Rose poked her head out of the TARDIS door.

"See you soon mum!" She yelled waving. Soon the whooshing noises of the TARDIS take-off filled the street and the blue police-box vanished.

Chiron was teaching sword fighting to a few of the campers that were new when the familiar "vwoop" of the TARDIS landing filled the strawberry scented grounds. The Doctor and Rose walked out of the TARDIS and came over to the sword fighting area. "So what did you find out?" Chiron questioned. Rose told him of the conversation with her mother and Chiron nodded in understanding. He then had a fellow child of Apollo lead her around and show her the many sites in the camp. Let's just say the Doctor and Rose were very competitive.

First was the hot lava rock wall. Rose won this one after several close calls with lava and a very upset mouse (don't ask). The Doctor had reached up for a handhold right as the wall shook and he lost his balance, which resulted in a shrill unmanly scream from the Doctor along with a sore bottom. Next was the canoe races which were normally boring, until the Doctor got involved. He and a certain son of Hephaestus added super-speed jets to the ends of the canoes, which made them go five times as fast as normal rowing. The aim of the new game was to try to steer your canoe while simultaneously trying to flip your opponents canoe. At the end of the canoe battle they went to the camp shop to find Rose a towel. They did several other fun things with the other campers, such as sword fighting, archery, a volleyball competition, and a full out game of basketball. The Doctor and Rose had come at the best day however, because today was chariot racing day.

Rose's and the Doctor's chariot looked simple enough except for a few Gallefreyan sentences and a glow that the other Apollo campers had helped with. Inside, however, was a work of art that Hephaestus himself would be impressed with. On either side was a hidden chain that would completely render one if the opponent's wheels useless when shot. In front, a concealed grappling hook was placed in case of a need to grab an opponent in front's chariot and use the opponents momentum to pull them to first place. Also with a little mixing and matching from the Doctor, the entire chariot was protected by a force field that nothing harmful to the chariot could penetrate. Hologram versions of horses disguised the fact that the chariot moved on its own. Rose and the Doctor were a perfect team. Rose would activate any needed weapons at a push of a button while the Doctor steered the chariot around the track and past other chariots. There was no way they were going to lose this thing.

A horn blared through the camp and a voice resonated through their ears. "All chariot racers to the track." The Doctor and Rose high-fived each other and rode their chariot to the starting line. The other cabins that were racing had very different chariots. The Ares campers' chariot was blood red with a picture of a skull on it, a sword plunged through its eye socket. A buff girl and boy rode in the back, the guy grasping reins that led to skeletal horses. Another chariot was the Hephaestus cabin. It looked like it had been dipped in a bronze melt and then had buttons sprinkled on it like a banana-split. A skinny Hispanic boy with a tool belt was fiddling with a couple wires leading to the bottom while a girl was off to the side with a fire extinguisher as if she was afraid he might catch on fire once he figured out the problem with the wires. Closest to the Doctor and Rose was a chariot that was painted blue with waves on the side. In front an owl loomed glaring as if daring anyone to come near it. A boy with black hair and green eyes talked to their white horses while the curly blond haired girl sharpened her dagger. Many other chariots line up side by side. Anticipation hung in the air as everyone mounted their chariots. Up on the top row of the bleachers was a pair of boys from the Hermes cabin.

"Welcome everyone to today's chariot races! I'm Connor Stoll-" He handed the megaphone to the other boy.

"-and I'm Travis Stoll. Chariots on the mark!"

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Go!"
