HEY PEOPLES! HOW ARE YOU?! NEW CHAPTER, NEW THINGS! IT'S BEEN ON THE DRAWING BOARD FOR SO LONG IT REQUIRES EXCESSIVE USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS!

Lance- I think if you said that in real life someone would go deaf. Even my ears are ringing.

Me- Well, people have been waiting for the new chapters for eons so I thought I'd announce it in a spectacular way.

Lance- I still can barely hear over that introduction.

Me- ON WITH THE SHOW!

Lance

The first thing I felt waking up was water being poured on me. I've once gone through this before, but thankfully the girls here didn't know to turn on a fan.

One of the girls huffed in anger. "That water was as cold as ice. How did that not wake him up?" It was obviously Yuuko.

I wanted to see where this was going, so I pretended to still be asleep. Another one of the girls spoke up. "Come on Yuuko, we don't have time for this. We have to get ready for the food festival." Sumi was really one of the only girls, besides Chitose, who was nice to me and Nico for more than an hour.

A third girl sighed. "We still have to wake him up since he's the only one who can really lift anything heavier than Ikkou can. We need to find something to really wake him up." Sometimes Sakura can be a little controlling.

Without even opening my eyes, I carefully moved my hand into my pocket for Tidal Wave. I cracked open my eyes a little to see the girls had their backs to me. Opening my eyes, I checked around the room, finding an open window a few feet away.

Sensing some water nearby, I willed a small amount to freeze, and then I dropped it to create a small distraction. When the girls went out the door to investigate, I quietly yet quickly made my way out the window. I found myself in the courtyard.

Nico was off to my left, just sitting around without a care in the world. I decided to sit down next to him. "Hey Nico, you still got that stopwatch on you?" He nodded and pulled it out. He handed it to me and I pressed the start button.

The girls took a total of two minutes ten seconds to find me. They didn't look happy. I handed the watch back to Nico, who put in earplugs. Sakura was the first to say something (and I really wished I had asked Nico for some earplugs). "What do you think you're doing!? We need you to help out with the stands!"

I sighed as I stood up. They led me over to a huge pile of wooden planks. "Now, you will build these stands to our specifications." Sakura handed me a rolled up paper. "The wood has already been cut so all you need to do is put them together."

As they walked off, I asked, "Anything else, Captain Blackbeard?" Sumi and Yuuko stifled their laughter while Sakura looked like she's might blow a fuse.

I went to work, starting the long process of having to build the stands. It took me four hours to build the stands to the specifications. The sun was already setting after I finished.

I was looking over my handiwork when I heard someone walking up. I turned to see Sumi and Sakura walking up. "I see you've finished." I shrugged. "It's good. I'm no child of Hephaestus, but they're finished."

Sakura walked up to the stands, examining them. "These look like they'll hold." She knocked on the wood. Sometimes I wonder how lazy these girls are.

Nico

While Lance was busy building the stands I decided to look around. I was at the temple's main courtyard before Sakura found me.

I knew what was going to come next. I turned to run but she grabbed the collar of my shirt. "Come on. We have a special job for you." Uh oh. Whenever someone said that it involved me doing something stupid and embarrassing, something menial and laboring, or with my stepmom, getting turned into a flower.

She dragged me over to a group of stands and handed me a sheet (looked like a checklist). "You're going to make sure that each stand is set by making sure they meet these standards." I looked at her like she was crazy (which she was for making me do this).

"What are you going to do?" She adjusted her glasses, smiling. "I'm going to get my outfit ready and make sure the others have their food ready." I groaned, which earned me a small smack to the back of the head. She walked off.

I went about to my work, making sure each stand was up to the requirements. The sun was setting as I checked the last stand. I was barely able to stay awake. Considering how the girls were getting to relax, I would have to give them a little scare (I think Lance still has some things left over from his stay over with the Stoll brothers).

Back at the temple, I nearly crashed. Lance was snoring on the steps nearby while the girls were just milling about. Hinata was the only one to go near us. She noticed Lance asleep.

She held up her hand, the little demon standing in her hand. It inhaled deeply and then unleashed an inferno on Lance. When the fire died down, Lance was still asleep albeit slightly charred.

*Time Lapse*

Night came quickly and we were all at the school. The stands that Lance built were still standing, so that was good. The sad part was that we were the ones, along with Ikkou, to cook the noodles.

I had just made another plate when I saw the girls. We were told to arrive early to set up the stands while they got ready. I almost dropped my spatula. Chitose, Yuuko, Hinata, and Sumi were all dressed in a maid's outfit with the apron colored orange and the small dress colored white with Chitose and Sumi having the necks of their outfits designed to show enough of their chests to cause 'arousal'. They all had on fishnet stockings and white dress shoes.

I nudged Lance, who had the same reaction. They walked over. "Like what you see," Yuuko asked playfully. Lance handed each of them a plate of noodles. After we had made about 156 plates (I was so bored I kept track), business started to slow.

We told Ikkou we would be taking a break. We walked around, seeing and eating all there was to do/eat. One stand was having great business so we decided to check it out. What we saw really surprised us (I almost dropped my plate of noodles).

Lance

I don't know how but Sakura and Haruka knew how to attract a crowd (especially guys). They were wearing a body piece like those show girls who appeared on those gameshows (you know, they wear those things that look like a one piece swimsuit).

Haruka noticed us and waved us over. The horrible part was that every guy near us thought she was waving the over as well and went into a stampede. Nico was nearly trampled to death until I pulled him aside and we made our way around to the back of the stand.

"Man, don't these guys have a life," Nico asked with a look of disgust. The guys were seriously creepy since they were crowding around the girls. Even their faces looked freaky, like they were stretched out and turned into a half fish.

Sakura checked her watch and sighed. She thrusted the spatula to Nico. "I need to take care of something." She stormed off, leaving Nico to pick up where she left off and leaving some of the freaks to wander off.

Haruka chuckled. "Our outfits were designed to arouse guys especially. From the front we have on bunny outfits." She turned around. "From the back it looks like we're wearing nothing at all." That made the rest of the guys go into a frenzy.

I had to hold them back with a spatula, which I handled like it was a sword. "Back I say! Back!" I swung the spatula (using the flat sides only) to enforce my point. They stepped back, but they looked like they might stampede at any moment. I had to think fast.

I looked over my shoulder to see some candy on a stick. Without turning away from the herd, I used my free hand to reach back and grab one. I used it to catch their attention by swinging it in front of them. They followed the candy.

I pulled my arm back, then threw the stick with all my strength. It flew off into the distance, causing the herd of freak-a-beasts with it.

The festival passed quickly, with Sakura's and Haruka's class being the winner (they got free food for a year!). While the old lady was on stage congratulating us, I happened to look up.

On the roof of the school was Sakura with some guy who was holding a camera. Almost immediately afterward, the guy started to float up towards the sky like Marshmallow Man. It wasn't the weirdest thing I fought (thankfully I had on my shirt with a secret camera. Now I would be able to prove that I held back creepy faced guys with a spatula.)

When we all met up, me and Nico were the ones covered in the most grime. Even Ikkou wasn't as dirty. "So who was that ghost you were with," I asked while we were walking back to the temple. She shrugged. "Nobody really. Just a ghost would wouldn't rest until he met me."

At the temple Nico and I headed immediately for our room. We slid the door shut and as soon as we layer down on the cots, we were out. Before I fell asleep I thought to myself, Just how many ghosts are in Japan?

SO THERE IT IS! New chapter! TIME TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS!

Hibarilova18: I know that I have focused mainly on the demigods, but I promise I will use the girls in the next chapter.

And for future reference this (M) means that an M rated scene is coming up. (If you've seen the anime you'd understand).

UNTIL NEXT TIME: DEUCE!
