Hey everyone! So I'm done with going in order because, believe it or not, I actually have quite a few of these written, though not one after the others. Here's the latest installment, but first, a quick thanks:

TwIx27-haha, yeah, NaNo definitely sucks the life out of everyone it touches, writers and readers alike! People have been asking me if they can read mine, but the mere thought terrifies me because it's such a terrible rough draft but my brain is still too fried to touch it. And thank you-thank you, thank you, thank you. I love your reviews-like you said, they mean a lot, and I'm completely and totally flattered. And I love hearing about the ones you love-I have a feeling you'll enjoy quite a few of these, as well :) Satin was so much fun to write, though to be honest, I had no idea what to do with it for so long! I've been reading your new FF and as you know, quite enjoy it so far. And again, as I reread your review, thank you. And again-I'm just… humbled. Much love, -Ivy

StarlitReader-hello again :) Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad you enjoy these so much! Your reviews are spectacular-I really appreciate hearing what you like/don't like about the chapters, and I definitely understand the fangirl glitter that just fills up your stomach sometimes making you want to throw up… weird description? Better not talk to me in person about PJO or Aragorn from LordoftheRings or anyone in MaximumRidethen… haha. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love seeing your reviews every chapter, and I'll do my best to keep them coming.

TerriM-hey Terri! Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them-I definitely chuckled while writing "Swim." Enjoy the update!

fayfayzee-greetings! And thank you for the review :) I'm glad you're enjoying them-Percy IS a fun little tyke, haha. I hope you like the next few drabbles!

brooke13243546-thank you! I'm glad you like these so much, that it's not just me churning along thinking I'm being amusing or entertaining and the rest of the world just gags. I hope you enjoy the next five!

Eleos-can I even tell you 'thank you' enough? I feel like I'm being repetitive. I am so appreciative that you tell me both what you like and what I can improve-I'll go back and fix 'you're' soon, thanks for pointing that out-and I'm flattered by what my words manage to do. Words are powerful things, and I'm flattered that you like mine so much. At least, in relation to Percy :)

Huge thanks to everyone! I hope you enjoy these next five. And just for kicks-have any of you read the Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfeld? They're brilliance, and I'm thinking about working on a little one-shot type for Alek and Deryn… Let me know, and as always, thank you for reading.

P.S.-does Fanfiction just not recognize italics? I updated at first and everything in italics ran together into one big word… is this knew? Derp derp…

43. Silver

Artemis is offering a delicate silver circlet, a symbol of a life of hunting, adventure, immortality-girl power-and Percy is terrified, wanting to run up and pull Annabeth back and tell Artemis thanksbutnothanks! He just found her, he doesn't know what he would do if he lost her again.

44. Poison

"Chiron?"

"Ah, actually participating in mythology class now Percy?"

"Uh, yeah. So, you know Achilles?"

"I knewAchilles. The boy's been dead a fair few centuries."

"Right. But do you think anyone ever tried poisoning him? He was invulnerable from the outside, but what if someone had just slipped something into his drink?"

"Are you sure you want to ask this before the entire class, given your current condition, Percy?"

"… Oh. Right. Well, a little late now, I guess."

"Your own safety hadn't occurred to you before you asked? You didn't wonder if someone might get curious and try slipping something into your drink?"

"Well… no. I just think the Trojan War would have ended a lot faster if someone had drugged Achilles. And they could knock off Agamemnon while they're at it, then it would have ended ten times faster. Theoretically. I wasn't really thinking about me."

Heroes. Chiron rubbed his forehead, even as the rest of the class roared in laughter. He was tempting fate trying to keep any of them alive.

45. Animal

"My favorite animal?" Percy repeated, though he knew he shouldn't have been surprised when he had replied "truth" to Katie Gardner's question of, "Truth or Dare?" Some of the other boys snickered, but the general atmosphere was pretty lighthearted for a round of Older Campers Only Truth-or-Dare.

"Um… I think a dolphin." He said, but then something else occurred to him. "Or a manatee. Or a pegasi. I like horses, too though. And seals are pretty cool. Oh, but not as much as sea otters. When I was in California I saw these Californian Sea Otters. They're totally different from the river otters, which no one seems to get. They take rocks to hit against the shells of hard crustaceans to break them and get to the meat inside and they're so, so fast." He frowned. "But it's actually really bad right now, because there's this disease that's killing the otters and no one's really sure what it is, though they think it's pollution up river-"

"Percy, dude," Travis Stoll interrupted while his brother yawned pointedly. "We get it. Sea Otters. Or any other oceanic life. Jeez, try to be a little less stereotypical, brine breath."

"Shut up!" One of the Demeter boys kicked him. "I want to hear about the pollution. It's disgusting what mortals do to wildlife-"

"I thought we said no treehuggers allowed!" Clarisse groaned, her fists already forming. "Because if you all don't shut up I'll freaking hang you from a tree, and we'll see how you like it then!"

"Yeah, at least we'll be safe up high when the nymphs come to put soil in you sheets, Clarisse. I may not be a son of Demeter, but pollution isn't something to joke about or do you want skin cancer?"

"Bring it on, Solace!"

"Guys, shut up. Percy, just ask a damn question."

"'Ask a damn question,' di Angelo? Damn? As in, damned? As in-"

"You'll be damned if you don't shut the hell up with the stupid puns, Connor."

"Shut the hell? Didja hear that, Travis?"

"Guys…"

"Malcolm…" They chanted in unison.

"Seriously. Just get on with it."

"Seriously! Just get on with it!"

"You really want to challenge a Son of Athena, you foolish Hermes boys?"

"You really want to-"

"THE NEXT PERSON TO SPEAK WILL BE ELECTROCUTED ON THE SPOT!"

…

"Lovely. Glad to see it worked. Sorry about your eyebrows, Connor. You might want to get some water one them before they singe off completely. Now, Percy, ask the damn question!"

He smirked at Thalia across the campfire, and she raised an eyebrow, waiting. Annabeth wriggled a little closer to him under the extra blankets stolen from the Big House, and Percy was extraordinarily glad to be home.

46. Slide

He had never realized playgrounds could be so much fun, when paired with a sunny Saturday morning and a laughing Wise Girl. He had also never realized how angry five year olds could get when they didn't get a turn on the slides because of two seventeen year olds that barely fit on the child-sized equipment anyway.

47. Plant

It shines like moonlight, illuminating his room with a soft glow night after night, without fail, and sometimes Percy wonders if he should have stayed after all.
