Story of the Week:

Hey guys, if you're reading this on it's due date that means I am not dead and writer's block has been defeated once more! If not, deal with it, I'm new at this. On with chapter 8! I didn't quite get as many reviews as I wanted but I figured I was killing you guys.

Disclaimer: WHY CRUEL WORLD? IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK OF YOU TO GIVE ME PJO? Jk, I'm not that good a writer (This where you say, 'No, you're awesome!) XD

Griffon's PoV

Going back to Earth? That was tough. I only had a week to train with Jenny. Would I be good enough to interrogate a Titan by then? I'll have to trust that Jenny is the best. I shook these thoughts from my head and focused on what I was doing. I decided I needed to go out with a bang, to make sure everybody here remembered me while I was gone. I thought about pulling a huge prank, but the twins would call that 'crossing into enemy territory', and pelt me with eggs and smoke bombs. I got an idea. I would plan a huge pool party. All I needed was a mc and a little help from Percy. I smiled and got to work. This party would be great. I pulled out a notebook and pencil and went to Percy's room.

Michaela's PoV

I was NOT looking forward to traveling with the twins again. Despite their constant fighting, they always seemed to bond together long enough to humiliate someone. At least I have my trusty duct tape. I needed to clear my head, so I went to the pool. Apparently I wasn't the only one. Clayton, Seth, and some others were there drinking who-knows-what.

"Watcha got there?" I asked inoccently.

"Well, once me and Clayton got mad at our step dad so we started making the grossest juice we could. Despite our efforts, we created the next generation of soda. We call it Greene Ale, because Clayton loves ginger ale and I got him brand new stitches because of something I did to 'dad'." Seth explained.

"Stupid step dad. Who owns a glass baseball bat?" Clayton muttered.

"Did you guys ever call the cops?" I asked.

"We would but we would be in more trouble than our 'father'." Seth said.

"You guys are messed up." I walked over and took a glass of their juice, praying to Chaos that it wasn't a prank. As soon as the juice hit my lip I felt like my taste buds were in heaven. It was the perfect blend of sweet, sour, and spicy. It was really hard to describe.

"This is the best thing I've ever tasted!" I yelled.

"Don't get too addicted, do you really want us handling your drinks?" Clayton asked.

"If you make me more of this I won't make you sleep in the cave when we go back to Earth," I said dazed. I saw Seth shiver.

"So cold," he whispered. I smirked.

"So, who are your friends?" I asked.

"This is Damon, Shelly, Cat, and Mark," Seth said.

"And this is Erica, Derrick, and Matt," Clayton gestured towards the other half of the group. I was greeted with a mixture of hellos, and sups, and one wolf whistle from Mark.

"Hey, that's my sister!" Clayton yelled.

"I don't care who she is, she's hot," Mark said. I smacked him and put him in a headlock.

"Sorry, but no. Maybe if you were the last guy on Earth I might consider you likable," I said. I let him go and turned to the group. I noticed Matt looked familiar… wait! I know!

"You're that guy I met in my squad's wing!" I said.

"No, I'm the guy you met in MY squad's wing," he replied.

"Nice to know you're not a snob," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. He huffed and went back to drinking his juice. Then he smirked.

"We missed you yesterday for your first day of training," he said slyly. My face went red.

"That was yesterday? I thought it was tomorrow!" I exclaimed.

"Maybe you should listen more. Don't worry, you can start tomorrow," he said. At least he wasn't a total jerk. I just ignored him and started enjoying my Greene Ale. Then it hit me. If Seth and Clayton need stuff so bad, why don't they sell this? I mentioned it to them.

"Well, we tried that but we were shut down because not all of the ingredients were 'legal'." Seth explained. That put an end to my love of Greene Ale.

Seth's PoV

I know what you're thinking. Why am I tolerating my brother? To figure him out, that's why. I noticed he had more of an attraction to Erica than the other girls. When I asked him why, he said it was complicated. I think he's just trying to keep his 'love life' away from me because the last time he liked somebody like that, I accidentally ruined their first date by falling through the ceiling and getting sneezing powder in their food… he hasn't excepted people easily since. I figured that I would have to embarrass him in front of her to get him back. But first I would have to get them together. I smiled evilly.

"Seth, are you going to talk or stand there gazing and smirking?" Cat asked. I shook my head.

"Sorry, I got a little distracted. I think Clayton may have given me a concussion," I accused.

"Dude, I apologized like five times, let it go!" Clayton groaned.

"Whatever," I murmured. I jumped into the water and sank to the bottom, focusing on my thoughts. How was I going to get those two lovebirds together? With help from Mark, who happened to be a son of Aphrodite. He would know how to get them together. Maybe I could use a love potion. I got out and started talking to Mark.

"Hey, I need your help," I said.

"Don't even ask for me to help you get with Cat, she's mine," he said.

"I want you to get Clayton and Erica together," I explained. I told him about my plan.

"Nice. Get a celebrity couple, then catch them in the act," he said evilly.

"Celebrity couple?" I questioned.

"Yeah, Erica is famous. She is the third most powerful being behind Chaos and Alpha," Mark said.

"Even better."

Another chapter is done, I hope you like it. Please give me your opinion, I love reviews, no flames, blah blah blek, etc.. Next chapter expect some short stories to help me get to the actual plot of the story! See you next week - AssassinOfNeptune
