Travis's POV
I was slowly walking by the Demeter Cabin, gazing at non-other then the wonderful, Katie Gardener. She was beautiful, she was decorating her cabin with new tulips and daisies, she turned her head and saw me looking at her, and she smiled and waved, so I waved back. I decided to go pay her a visit. I jogged over to her and cheerfully said, "What's up Katie?"
"Nothing, just redecorating the cabin."
" Which song are you doing?" I curiously asked.
"Don't tell anyone, but I'm doing Firework by Katy Perry." She said as if dreaming all about it.
"Oh! I'm doing Fireflies by Owl City," I said simply.
" Oh I love that song!" Katie exclaimed. I can't believe it; the amazing Katie Gardener likes the same song as I do! Stay calm Travis, time to make your move!
"Um, Katie, uh do you want to um, go out on a date, with me?" I sputtered. Oh no she's going to say no! Stupid Travis, why must I stutter when I'm nervous!
" Sure, pick me up at seven and we'll go to Long Island Sound for a picnic." she said plainly.
"Uh, bye!" I replied. I did a little jump in celebration, kind of.
Percy's POV
I walked slowly over to the Athena Cabin. I was waiting for quite a long time to find out which song Annabeth has chosen. I jogged up the two steps and knocked on the solid door. Malcolm, Annabeth's half brother opened the door. "Um, could I speak to Annabeth, please?" I nervously asked.
"Sure." Malcolm replied suspiciously. Annabeth appeared at the front door.
"Hey Seaweed Brain!"
"Hey Wise Girl!"
"So what's up?" she asked curiously. "Uh, I wanted to know which song you picked for the competition."
"Oh, I picked Halo, by Beyoncé."
"Nice choice. "I replied. "So what did you pick Seaweed Brain?" she asked diligently.
"I picked Hey Soul Sister by Train."
"Nice choice Percy." she replied.
Clarisse's POV
I had just finished beating up some Apollo kid who made fun of the Ares cabin early today, when Chris, my boyfriend walked up to me. "Hey there!" he said cheerfully.
"What's up?" I asked still having a tight grip on the scrawny Apollo guy.
After yelling at him for a while, I turned to Chris. "Which song did you pick," I asked.
"I picked Bleed by Hot Chelle Rae." He said proudly.
"I picked New Divide by Linkin Park." I replied.
"Great choice" Chris said.
"Humph, no matter how good the song is, we still have to do a talent and a dance number!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah I know, it's getting on my nerves to! "He replied angrily.
"Ok, I got to go, have kids to beat up," I said shortly after our conversation.
"Same here, except I have to go steal stuff now." He replied coolly.
"Later." I replied.
Thalia's POV
We finally arrived at Camp Half-Blood. I saw three vaguely familiar people waiting at the Pine Tree. I soon recognized that it was Percy and Annabeth holding hands … and, Nico. The wonderful, awesome Nico. Where the Hades did that come from?
I ran straight towards them now, and I hugged them all. "How are you guys?" I asked happily.
"We're all fine, except for that stupid competition." Percy said glumly. "
"Oh yeah, the competition… so which songs are you guys doing?" I asked quietly.
"I'm doing Hey Soul Sister by Train." Percy said.
"I'm doing Halo by Beyoncé." Annabeth replied.
"And I'm doing Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day." Nico said.
"I am doing The Only Expectation by Paramore." I finally told them.
"Cool" Nico said.
Wow. Nico is so cool. His eyes are so black, yet if you stare into them, you can see how he's feeling. I finally took my eyes of his and turned back to the Hunters. They had a look of disapproval at me, but no one dared to speak to me like that, so I broke the silence saying, "Okay Hunters, lets go settle down in the Artemis Cabin."
Annabeth's POV
I was on my way to Percy's Cabin, when Rachel accidently bumped into me.
"Oh sorry Annabeth," Rachel apologized.
"It's fine." I replied.
"Uh which song did you pick for the competition?" Rachel asked briefly.
"Oh um I don't want to tell too many people yet, but since you asked, I am doing the song Halo by Beyoncé." I replied while whispering.
"Nice, I'm doing the song Raise Your Glass by Pink."
"Cool!" I said.
"Later!" Rachel said happily while doing a little jump. I continued on my way to the Poseidon Cabin. I knocked loudly on the door while yelling, "Open up SEAWEED BRAIN!" Finally he opened the door. He had messy hair and no shirt on. "Can't you wake up?" I scolded him while eyeing him at the same time.
"I was still sleeping!" he answered.
"It's 10:00 am!"
"Hey, I can't always be perfect!" he said annoyingly.
"Humph." I grumbled. I decided to walk inside to see what the damage was. All his bed covers were on the floor. And all of his dirty clothes were not in the hamper, and there were soda cans and pizza boxes on the floor. Okay, so maybe Percy wasn't the cleanest guy… but he was the savior of Olympus. "You need to clean this up!" I told Percy.
"Fine…. NOT!" he joked. I started picking up some of the old cans and pizza boxes, I did so because I'm so used to being organized, and neat. The Poseidon Cabin was the complete opposite.
"Once again, you should consider being CLEAN!" I scolded once more. I finally got the cabin cleaned and organized, kind of, you would need tons of work to clean all of this up. "There we go." I said pleased.
"Humph, you ruined my man land." He grumped.
"I sure did!" I replied proudly.
"So I was thinking, do you want to go on a date with me?" Percy asked.
Man, he's good, smooth without stuttering.
"Sure, let's meet at Zeus's Fist at 5:00, and we'll find something to do." I replied coolly.
"Great, see you then." Percy said excitedly.
I walked out the door, and ran towards the Aphrodite Cabin. I needed to see Piper.
Travis's POV
I for some odd reason had a tux in my dresser, so I put it on and did my hair. I was on my way to the Demeter Cabin. I knocked on the door, and, Katie opened it. She looked AMAZING!
She was wearing a hot pink dress that was knee length with black high heels. Her hair was done neatly.
"Wow Katie, you look amazing." I said careful not to drool.
"You don't look too bad yourself Travis," Katie said.
We both hooked arms and went to the end of the Camp Half-Blood borders.
"I already asked Chiron if we could go outside the Camp borders, he said yes." I said happily.
"Great, lets hit the road." she said patiently. We found a nice restrant and I ordered filet mignon, while Katie got a salad. Once we finished, we started walking back to Camp. I heard something pounce on to the hard ground. I thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me. Suddenly, something gigantic leaped on me. I fell over scraping my knee and scratching my face. Unfortunately, I was unarmed. I was so busy making myself proper enough to present to Katie that I totally forgot about weapons. That's when Katie saw what happened and dug around in her purse, and then she pulled out a small leaf. Then she threw it up in the air and it turned into a 8 inch knife. She raced at the monster, which happened to be an empousi. She stabbed at it in the neck and kept on stabbing until it turned into golden dust. Then everything went black.
Percy's POV
I was on my way to Long Island Sound to have my special chat. I was planning on talking about a certain Huntress. It was 5:55 pm, wow, I better get going or I was going to be late to a meeting I prepared myself.
I grabbed my hoodie and headed out towards Long Island Sound.
I finally reached there and saw Nico in the shadows of a large pine tree.
"Hey Death Boy, ready for our special conversation?" I asked evilly.
"Uh, sure?" he muttered.
We started walking along the edge of the shoreline.
"So, I know you like a certain girl in camp!" I said excitedly.
"Whom do you think I like?" he asked suspicously while raising an eyebrow.
"You like Thalia." I said while having a crazy grin on my face.
"Whaaaaat?" he said nervously.
"Yup, you like her!" I said happily.
"Ok... so you found out, " he said with a frown on his face, "Just don't tell her."
"Mmmm, no promises." I said ominously.
He cursed in ancient Greek.
"Well bye!" I hollered while running away from Nico before he got really angry.
