Annabeth's POV:
"Where should we, yawn, search first?" I asked Percy sleepily. I guess Maine wasn't as near as it looked on the map. No answer. I slapped his arm. He sat up abruptly and shook his head as if trying to shake the sleep left in him away. "Huh?" he yawed. "Where should we search first Kelp Head?" I laughed rolling my eyes. "What? I'm Kelp Head now! I thought Seaweed Brain was bad enough." He joked and turned back to see everyone sleeping. It was 9:00. "So, where do we look first? I swear you've become even more of a Seaweed Brain since you came from the Roman camp" I joked back. "Haha. Very funny. I think we should just go to an inn or set up camp." He finally answered; thank the gods "Why?" I said in shock. "Because 1. Everybody is sleepy and tired. 2. I am sleepy and tired. 3. It would be suspicious to see 10 kids wandering in the forest or park or whatever place we decide to search late at night." I grumbled and took a right so I could pull over in a nearby park. It had the most trees and from what I could see and it was better than Percy's suggestion. Inside a bubble in the lake.
We woke up everyone and started walking into the deepest part of the park and set up our tents. This time Leo agreed to make the fire. Nina, Fabian and Patricia each used their powers to hide us. Nina bending the shadows to keep us in the dark, Fabian bending the light so that the light would never hit us and Patricia put an invisibility spell just in case.
After we made our offerings to the gods and ate dinner Nico decided to play a game. "Hey guys wanna play truth or dare" I knew this would somehow backfire but I said yes anyway and so did the rest.
"Okay, here are the rules. You must do the dare no matter what. No changing your answer. You must answer all the questions truthfully if not Piper will charm speak you too." Nico said and we all nodded. "And oh, no one can dare Thalia to do something hunters can't do." Nico added in. "So Death Breath has a crush on Thalia now?" Jason teased. "Whatever" both said not making eye contact. "I'll go first" Nico started. "Jason, truth or dare?" "Dare" he replied with a cocky smile. "I dare you to turn into a pine tree for 10 minutes so you know how your sister felt" Nico challenged. "I knew it; you do like my sister ... wait ... EWW! You like my sister!" Jason said before Patricia turned him into a tree. Everybody laughed except of course Nico and Thalia
10 MINUTES LATER
Jason came running out of the tree with fear wide in his eyes. "Whoa dude, what happened to you?" Leo asked helping his friend sit down. "Let's just say I'm glad Zeus decided to turn Thalia into a tree and not me" Jason replied looking at the dirt. "Hmm, Annabeth, truth or dare." He continued. I weighed which of the two would be a better choice. Truth. But somehow I ended up saying "dare". "I dare you to jump into those bushes" he said with a smirk, like he knew something I didn't, which is theoretically impossible. I jumped in and jumped out screaming just as quickly. "Oh my gods! Jason I will get back with you! You knew there were spiders there didn't you?' I yelled. "Ughh. Percy, Truth or dare" I asked still a bit angry with Jason. "Ohh, Annie likes Percy" Jason teased. I glared at Jason "Seriously? He's my boyfriend and since when were you a spawn of Aphrodite?" He looked the other way. Everyone laughed. "Truth" Percy said. "What?" I asked confused. "Truth. You asked me truth or dare. And you call me the Seaweed Brain" he ansered laughing at the last sentence. I shrugged "Was the Finding Nemo underwear I saw in your cabin yours?" "Uhmm, yes." He whispered. But even in his whisper everyone heard him and laughed again. "Piper, truth or dare?" Percy asked after the laughing died down. "truth" she said simply. "Is it true that when you were talking alone with Reyna you threaten her with Katoptris to leave Jason alone?" Piper rolled her eyes and answered "Wait, how did you know that?". "I didn't. I was just teasing since I didn't have any good questions" Percy said in surprise. Piper and Jason blushed. "Anyway, Fabian truth or dare" she said waving the Reyna thing away. "Dare" he replied a bit unsure. "I dare you to kiss Nina". "What?" Nina and Fabian said at the same time their jaws hitting the ground. "You two are even worse than these two. It took them 4 years to get together." Piper explained pointing at me and Percy. "hey!" the two of us complained. "So are you going to do it or do I have to make you do it?" Piper asked. With that they kissed. Nico started making gagging faces and Thalia looked away. Piper quickly took pictures and a video. When they finaly broke apart they were blushing and Fabian said "Thalia, truth or dare" a bit dazed. "Truth, I'm not taking any risks". "Do you like wearing that tiara" he asked pointing to Thalia's silver circlet which symbolizes her position as the first lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis. She shrugged "yes" looking away. We were all shocked. Thalia, liked her circlet. I couldn't believe it. It didn't seem like something she would say. "Nina, truth or dare?", "dare I guess". "Aww, I had a great question. Anyway, I dare you to run into a tree". Weirdly she stood up and started running full speed. Before she could hit the tree, she became intangible. "Not fair" Thalia exclaimed laughing at how Nina outsmarted her. "You said run into it, not actually get hit. Leo, truth or dare?" "Dare" he replied confidently. "I dare you to stay underground for 5 minutes" "Wait, how am I supposed to stay underground without dying?" Leo asked sceptically. "I'll give you enough room so you can breath and not get crushed by the earth" Nina answered as if a 4 year old would know that. Before Leo could argue, Nina closed her fist and he was swallowed up by the earth. "You have to teach me how to do that" Nico said in excitement. After 5 minutes Leo was let out and the first thing he said was "I think I heard Gaea snoring". We all laughed and he asked Patricia "truth or dare?" she picked truth. But before he could ask the question we all fell asleep right at that moment and I knew it wasn't just because we were tired.
