I'm not going to hold you up any longer if you bothered reading this so let's get on with the update

Annabeth POV

Piper instructed me to close my eyes until she was finished, I did as I was told because I knew resisting would only take longer and cause more of a makeover then what it was to begin with. When I opened my eyes, at Piper's command of course, I didn't recognize the person in front of me. Sure I knew it was me, I didn't change clothes or anything but still.

My hair was curled to make it perfect, leaving no frizz behind, there was a tad bit of makeup but not much, I had a touch of eyeshadow that made my boring grey (gray?) eyes pop, some kind of cream that matched my skin tone made all the evidence of any acne magically go away (hallelujah), and lastly a touch of lip gloss so they didn't look as chapped as usual.

"What do I do now?" looking up to where Piper should be but instead of her it was a silent, squealing Aphrodite, "Traitor." I mumble under my breath as I got up to follow Aphrodite to go ahead and get this torture over with.

"Alright so I have about three or seven outfits picked out for you hon. You are still the same size as Piper right?" I only nodded, afraid that if I said anything she might squeal and put me in some slut costume, " I'm letting you pick since Piper wanted Thalia to pick, and honestly hon you are my favorite, so I'm letting you pick the outfit you're wearing for the next day or two!" she said with so much enthusiasm I thought she would explode, while showing me the outfits.

Outfit 1 - High waisted shorts, that actually covered my butt, and a crop top that looked like Calypso on Wednesdays, basically a string, major no

Outfit 2 - Skinny jeans with a sparkly pink top that cut in at the sides but covered all the important stuff, so it was more like Calypso on Mondays, depending on the other tortures this one is going to be it

Outfit 3 - A dress that barely covered anything, I don't even want to describe it, it was that bad

Outfit 4 - A tight, navy blue mini skirt that went mid-thigh paired with a white crop top that had navy blue anchors on it

Outfit 5 - A grey tank top with a quote from one of my favorite bands, Fall Out Boy, it had one part of the song Miss Missing you on it, "Sometimes before it gets better the darkness gets bigger the person you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger, the only down side of the shirt was that it had lace on the sides that showed my skin this was paired with some high waisted dark shorts

Outfit 6 - White, all white, white shorts with some lace designs and a white crop top that looked like a bathing suit top that had a black palm tree design on it

Outfit 7 - A halter jumper with fall off the shoulder sleeves, it had a mixture of colors on the top flowing towards the bottom making it look like a rainbow of sorts, wasn't exactly my favorite I mean seriously it looked like a rainbow threw up on it

"Okay hon pick out your favorite outfit!" Aphrodite squealed.

"Can I wear converse with this?" I questioned while picking up the shirt with the Fall Out Boy quote on it.

"Of course! Oh I knew you would pick this one! Normally I would put you in something pink but oh look how you've grown into a beautiful young lady. Pick out your accessories!"

I only nod, quickly going into the closet to change then coming back out I see she's set out all of her bracelets, necklaces, anklets, rings, toe rings, and ear rings. I pick out a simple leather bound bracelet that has a silver plaque with the word Courage engraved into it and to go along with it a clockwork owl with silver eyes that look like gems.

Assuming this was all I had to do I head for the door, I was about to open it and escape when I hear Aphrodite call out, "I need you to do something for me." I nearly groaned so loud that China would've hear, I was so close to escaping. Accepting my fate I walk over to Aphrodite expecting a just kidding, you're not done, but I got something that shocked me.

"Will you give this to Piper?" I look at the paper bag she's holding out to me, then back up at her, then at the bag again. I take it without questioning her wanting to open it, but not doing so. "Please don't open it, it's a surprise. Just tell Piper this is for your Mom's dare if you want to do it later on."

I quickly nod my head and walked out. I'm not going to lie when I say I hid in the bathroom for fifteen minutes, trying to wash the makeup off, seeing it wouldn't come off having a mental breakdown, then psyching myself up for what I'm about to walk into.

What I walked into wasn't what I was expecting, I thought they would've started without me but, I saw Thalia and Piper chewing the Stoll twins out about wanting to start without me. I think it was Connor explaining their point but he stopped mid-sentence when he saw me, I got even more terrified when he didn't say anything but just pointed at the doorway, wait no, he's pointing at me! Crap he can't be pointing at me maybe I can run and hide in the bathroom again. That actually sounds like a good idea.

Before I could leave EVERYONE turned around.

GREAT JUST GREAT, THEY TURNED AROUND BEFORE I COULD LEAVE. Why do bad things always happen to me?! Why?!

You can do this Annabeth, just breath. I swear once everyone was looking at me their jaws dropped in a synchronized motion. I think I even saw Percy drool a little bit, SCORE, wait what?! I don't mean that! I mean cool I guess, creep? Yeah, Percy's a creep, a really adorable, sea-green eyed, raven hai— what am I thinking?! I quickly sit down in my spot in the circle from before next to Thalia and guess who? That's right Percy freaking Jackson… this isn't going to be awkward at all.

Piper awkwardly cleared her throat driving everyone's eyes onto her, except for Percy's, hmmm. "Well as this party's host I now pronounce this party to start off with truth or dare. We all have to sign this piece of paper saying that what happens in this room stays in this room, unless everyone has the consent of the ones in the truth or the dare. Deal?"

Everyone agreed, quickly might I add. I pulled Piper aside and handed her the bag, telling her what Aphrodite told me quickly so we could get back in the circle, then punching her in the shoulder for leaving me alone with Aphrodite.

"How about since I'm the host, I go first?" Piper asks, whilst still rubbing her shoulder. We all nodded the Stolls actually gave a smaller resistance than what everyone thought they would. "Alright… Thalia truth or dare?"

Okay, that's it for this chapter!

Again so sorry you guys!

Please send in truths and dares! MWAHAHAHA

Again thank you for the loyal people that are still reading this.
