Thanks to all my readers and reviewers!
Rose, Annie's little sister, reached across the table for Ben's lizard. "Pascal!" (A/N: Pascal is the name of Rapunzel's lizard in the Disney movie Tangled.)
Ben set him down on the table. "Yoda, his name is."
Yoda nodded sagely, as if confirming Ben's statement.
"That's creepy," Annie said. "Sammy, pass the lamb stew."
"Lamb stew?" I wrinkled my nose. "Do you have anything else? I'm on the Camp Half-blood Diet."
"The Camp Half-blood Diet?" Heather repeated, looking up from her phone. "How lame is that?"
I ignored her and dropped a slice of meat onto a candle centerpiece as an offering. "You know, bread, grapes, cheese, meat, and most importantly: strawberries."
"And we should have lembas bread," Sammy added.
"And plasma cloud for dessert," Ben finished.
"That's it. You guys are too weird. How can you be obsessed with all these stupid books and movies?" Heather stood up and moved to sit farther down the table.
Five people gasped in unison.
"Oh no she didn't!" I said angrily. "No one insults Percy Jackson and gets away with it."
Annie called us into a huddle. "You know what we should do to her?"
"What?"
She outlined her plan, and by the time she finished, all of us were struggling not to laugh.
Luckily, Ben was sixteen, and offered to drive us to a nearby store to get "supplies".
Heather had better watch out.
I promise, the next chapter will be longer.
Tell me in a review what you would do to someone that made fun of PJO or any of your other obsessions.
I might include your idea in the story!
