Sorry it's been so long since I updated. I've been super busy and today I decided to try and write a chapter during school. It worked! Anyway thank you to all of those who are sticking with me and reviewing! Review replies will be at the bottom.

Chapter 5:

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"GO!"

The echo of the Stoll brother's voices were drowned out by the roar of the crowd mixed with the trampling of hooves. The blue chariot was in first place with the Hephaestus chariot close behind. Rose was battling the strong Ares camper sword against spear. They both swayed a little as their drivers led the horses around the first bend.

"Doctor slow down a bit!" Rose yelled up to the front while blocking another strike from the spear. The Doctor glanced back at her curiously but complied. The Ares chariot pulled up beside them and Rose dodged the spear once again. This time however, Rose had angled herself so that the spear smacked one of the buttons. Chains shot out of the right side of the Doctor's and Rose's chariot and wrapped itself around the left wheel of the Ares chariot. It immediately stopped and wobbled off the track before the wheel completely popped off. The Doctor urged the horses forward. They pulled ahead of the Hephaestus chariot as the blond girl pushed it off the track with a pole. After some fancy maneuverings the Doctor evaded the pole and pulled up next to the blue chariot. The pole was to long for her to use in this close distance, so she yelled up to the boy in front of her.

"Percy switch!"

They twirled around each other and Percy handed the girl the reins. He took out a pen, pulled off the cap, and the writing utensil elongated into a full length bronze sword. Rose got over her initial shock and started battling with the boy. They took the final turn toward the finish line when Rose felt their chariot slow down.

"Doctor! What are you doing?" She looked up at him and watched the blue chariot pull ahead.

"Wait for it," he whispered his hand tense. They were almost to the finish line. "Now!" the Doctor yelled slamming his hand down and pulling a lever. A hook shot from the foot of their chariot and latched on to the one in the lead. The front chariot slowed considerably as the Doctor pushed another button and their chariot sped forward as the hook pulled back into the chariot. They pressed ahead and crossed the finish line a whole three seconds before the blue chariot. The crowd went wild. Rose and the Doctor were presented gifts and a feast for dinner. By the time it was time for campfire songs everyone was ready to head in for the night. Of course this didn't happen till after an epic s'more fight consisting of both Rose and the Doctor leaving the group as a sticky laughing mess. They arrived at the TARDIS after each had showered off the marshmallow coating they wore, and the Doctor held the door open for her.

"You ready to go to bed?" the Doctor asked smiling warmly at her. Rose looked back at her new home. The last stragglers were heading to their cabins, the final lights slowly going dark. The stars reflected off the lake and Rose smiled at the memory of traveling among them with the Doctor. She turned to him still smiling.

"I think I'll stay out here for a little while longer," she said. The Doctor nodded knowingly and went inside the blue box and closed the door behind him. Rose stood at the top of the hill and looked over Camp Half-Blood. A sense of peace and safety filled her and she sighed happily. She sat down for a few minutes longer before standing up to head back into the TARDIS. She turned to go, but something caught her eye. A light was glowing from behind a tree. Rose grabbed her sword and went to investigate. She snuck around the fire and gasped at what she saw.

A younger man stood there, maybe in his lower twenties. His blonde hair was swept to one side. His chocolate eyes gazed up at her as she came around the tree. He glowed with a golden light and grinned at her with perfect white teeth.

"Who are you?" Rose questioned.

The man smiled at her. "My name is Apollo. Rose, I am your father."

Well, there's a chapter. I'll try to update soon, but I rotate through four different stories, so it may take a while. Hope you liked it!
