Chiron trotted out of the main cabin and got confronted by glitter in the air and tinsel draped all over the strawberry plants. He looked around and spied the likely culprit. "Percy, what is going on?" he asked sternly. Percy looked sheepish. "We're decorating for Christmas." "How many of the campers have you got in on this?" "Uh, most of the cabins. Most of Ares aren't helping, and Athena didn't want to, but Annabeth got them too." An Apollo camper ran by with his quiver full of arrows primed to shoot baubles when released. Percy winced. "Hecate's been helpful too." Chiron shook his head at him. "Really, Percy, you're insufferable." Annabeth came up behind Percy. "Athena and Aphrodite are working together. It's a miracle! Although, Aphrodite have got a lot better since Piper became head. Hi, Chiron." "Hello, Annabeth. I would like to know how you let your boyfriend take over my camp with," he waved his hand around him. "This." "I've been wanting to talk to you, Chiron." Annabeth said, ignoring the question. "We were wondering if we could put something in the middle of the food hall, and we thought it would be better to talk to you than Mr. D." "What would this 'something' be? And I noticed you didn't answer my question." "Sorry, I thought it was rhetorical. And it would be a pine tree. We'd get the nymphs and the satyrs to help." "I guess I can't really refuse if it's got you all working together. Just don't make it too big." Chiron shook the glitter that had rested on him off his shaggy hindquarters and walked off. Percy grinned at Annabeth and held up his hand. Annabeth grinned exasperatedly at him and high-fived.
