Actually this chapter was in my phone for a few weeks already but I was too lazy to upload it. So how often do you want me to update? Please don't say every day. I can't update on weekends as my parents are at home and I don't think they encourage me to look at the computer or phone too often. Maybe like once every two or three days?

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or HoO but watch out… one day I shall DOMINATE! MUAHAHAHAHA!


Prompt: Fish Ponies

"Let's play a game," Nico said.

"Oh sure. Great way to start a conversation. What game?" Thalia said as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Um ..." Nico wondered as he played with the zip on his jacket.

"You suggest playing a game and you don't know what to play. Great," Thalia huffed and Nico swore he saw her roll her eyes.

"How bout 'Truth and Dare'?" Percy suggested but when he saw Annabeth pale slightly, he added abruptly, "Ok. Forget what I just said."

There were looks of disappointment on a few people's faces.

"Maybe we can play 'I went to the zoo and saw'?" Piper said.

"Well … that should be a game where no one will be embarrassed, I guess ..." Reyna trailed off.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Jeez. You guess?"

"What? Got a problem?" Reyna used her famous glare on Annabeth that would have made almost everyone pee on their pants. Emphasis on 'almost everyone'. Well, seems like Annabeth was one on the minority.

Percy decided to step in. "Guys, stop acting like little kids."

"We are not GUYS!" Annabeth and Reyna said simultaneously.

"Sorry!" Percy squeaked.

Piper cleared her throat for attention. "Ahem. Back to topic," she prompted.

"Yeah. Um ... right. Back to topic. Wait… what were we even talking about in the first place?" Jason looked confused.

"Jeez. You boys are hopeless."*

"Well, where's the fun in that game?" Travis protested.

"I know right?" Connor said and hi-fived his brother.

"You two are really brothers. I guess 'great minds think alike.'**" Leo shrugged.

Annabeth scoffed, "Great minds? How in the world are they intelligent?"

"Jeez. Who cares about their minds?" Piper gestured towards the door. "Well, if you have any objections, please leave. Now."

"Fine. I'm leaving. Travis, let's go." Connor got up and started to leave.

"Hey wait! I'm leaving too!" Leo followed them hurriedly.

"Good. Now that we have gotten rid of those annoying people, let's play that game."

"I start," Percy suggested. "I went to the zoo and saw a lion."

Annabeth continued, "I went to the zoo and saw a lion and monkey."

Nico decided to go next. "I went to the zoo and saw a lion, monkey and zebra."

"I went to the zoo and saw a lion, monkey, zebra and..." Tyson got stuck halfway through so he said the first thing that came to mind. "um... some fish ponies!"

"Um… Tyson? You don't see fish ponies at the zoo."

"I don't?" Tyson looked crestfallen.

Annabeth turned and looked at Percy. "Seaweed Brain, you really need to bring Tyson to the zoo someday."


* - I know I used this in my previous chapter but I really didn't know what else to add.

** - My friends keep on going on about this phrase so I just used it in this chapter.


So that's it for this chapter.
