Disclaimer: …Nope. Not PJO, Hotel for Dogs (: P ew.) and THANKFULLY not Justin Beiber. Phew!

An: You guys must be so angry! Sorry about the wait. But…If you review with a minor plot idea, and it's great, than a whole chapter will be dedicated to you, dear reader. So review!

Nico POV:

Yeah, you heard me. Pink! All I could see was pink. I was almost blinded. Disgusting! I slowly made my way to Percy, who was standing around, looking as confused as I felt.

"What's up?" I asked cautiously, having a feeling I didn't want to know.

"No clue." Percy told me, "If I did, I still wouldn't tell you." Oh, thanks.

"I'll tell you what's going on!" said a voice behind me. Percy and I yelped and turned around. It was Clarisse.

"Some idiot stole the stupid Aphrodite cabin's makeup and junk. They accuse Ares, naturally, and now, they're bombarding us with pink…stuff!" Clarisse exclaimed and angrily flailing her arms around. I gulped. The prank. Why does everything I do come back to get me? I pulled Percy back and explained my dilemma. Being a good friend, he of course said,

"And it was all over you?"

"Yes."

"Like seriously, you didn't see that coming?"

"No, I didn't. But thanks for the gentle reminder that I am an imbecile."

"Any time!" Percy laughed at me. Like I said, such a great friend. I rolled my eyes as he continued laughing. I wanted to punch him, but I know that if I did, I would be chopped up by Riptide in a matter of seconds. Percy finally calmed down. He wiped his eye and muttered, "Good times, good times." That time I really did punch him. Or, at least tried to, instead he grabbed my arm and twisted it away from him. He laughed a little again and dropped my arm.

"So, why don't you just go back and get it?" He asked.

"I would, but, as I vividly remember, it ended up all over me."

Percy chuckled a bit again.

"Well, then you're in trouble." He helpfully answered me, and walked off. I decided this war would blow off, I mean Aphrodite kids need to have some "beauty rest" as they put it, so I hung out at my cabin until I heard a trumpet. I knew it; Aphrodite has sent her children a huge supply of makeup. There, I win for once. And just in time for the meeting. I ran to the Big House, everyone was already there.

"So…" I started uncomfortably. "Anybody know any good monster jokes?"

Everyone rolled their eyes and exchanged knowing glances like, "This kid is so awkward" I shut up.

"We are here," Chiron said. "To discuss the recent monster, that made it in the borders. As we all know, that is nearly impossible, so either somebody let it in, or the Fleece is no longer working."

"Uh, Chiron?" Annabeth started. "We investigated, and the Fleece is missing. It was stolen, and replaced with an old ram's skin dyed gold. We don't know who did it, but we know it wasn't that long ago because only one monster has-" She was interrupted by a loud roar, wait- many load roars and screaming. We all ran outside in time to see that John kid surrounded by like twenty hellhounds.

"Try to attack the face now, John." I muttered

"What was that?" Katie asked

"Uh, I said 'Don't attack the face, Katie' yeah, that's what I said." I gotta keep my thoughts in my head.

"Duh." Katie rolled her eyes at me. "Who doesn't know that?"

"John"

"Huh?"

"Nothing."

To sum everything up, John screamed girlishly and cowered. We "Head Campers" attacked and valiantly (that's my new word!) fought off the monsters. I fought hesitantly, I hoped Mrs. O'Leary didn't join in and got hurt. Next to Percy, Beckendorf, Mrs. Jackson, Mr. Blofis, Sophia, Dad, Hestia, Juniper, and Chiron, I'm Mrs. O 'Leary's favorite person. And in my book, that's an honor.

The fight ended pretty quickly. After the Titan war, a few hellhounds are pretty much a walk in the park. But one thing still worried us, we are totally penetrable. Any monster can come right in. We'll be working 24/7 from now on. This is bad.

After the fight, Mr. D announced, "From now on, we will have a new 'activity'. It's something I like to call, 'Importantly Defending Infiltrating Outside Terrors In Camp.' We'll take turns standing guard."

I snickered. "Mr. D, who told you to name it that?"

"Connor and Travis, why?"

Everyone laughed. Mr. D looked confused.

"What, I don't get it!"

Katie smiled, "Mr. D?"

"Hmm, yes, Kelly Grant?"

We waited for it.

"Your plan is I.D.I.O.T.I.C., but it just might work." Chaos. Everyone laughed, and this time, Mr. D looked embarrassed.

"Okay," he said after everyone calmed down, "From now on it is called 'Border Protection'. Hades, Ares, Demeter, and Hermes, your cabin goes first. Your shift ends at noon. It starts at nine A.M. The plan goes into motion starting tomorrow."

Groaning. Great. I thought. Why NOT spend time guarding camp while my "sister" rattles on about stupid songs and bad movies?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THE NEXT DAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"And then, the dogs come back! And they'll all excited and the open the Hotel For Dogs for good! And they all were happy and stuff!" Sophia finished. "It was magical!"

"Thank you, Sophia, for that very in-depth summary." I said flatly.

"Oooh, did I tell you about my new fav. song?" (AN: Yes, I did mean to put "Fav." and the exclamation marks, it's Sophia.)

"Sure." I lied.

"Nu-uh! It goes like this, "Baby, Baby, Baby, oh! Baby, Baby, Baby, oh! Baby, Baby, Baby, o-"

I cut her off. "That's all? That's all she does? I could do that!" Sophia didn't catch the "she"

Sophia looked at me like magical talking carrots just fell out of my ears. "No! You don't have his good looks!" Silence for a moment.

"Who's 'he'?" After saying that I ran and hid behind the Ares kids. She eventually found me and punched my arm. She may be 11, but it still hurts.

"Take it back." She demanded.

"Take what back?"

"What you said back there!" she yelled, hardly holding back her anger.

"Faaaan-girl" I muttered under my breath. I got up and ran. This time she didn't follow me. But she yelled,

"I will get you for this Nico!" Weird! How does she plan on getting revenge?

AN: Cliffhanger! Mwahahaha! Ahem. Yeah. I'll keep on a typin'! But, if I get Carpal Tunnel, I'm holding you all personally responsible! In this chapter, I tried developing more plot. So, like I said, give me a minor plot idea, and the next chapter will be dedicated to you! Review quickly so I can type the next chap.!
