The Gods Play Truth or Dare! Chapter 2

Apollo closed the book titled War and Peace. This was truly the most boring event that has happened in his long life, and Hermes was right their next to him, struggling on the word sarcophagus.

"If I have to read one more book on King Tut, I'll claw my eyes out!" Hermes moaned.

"Maybe if I kept my mouth shut, we wouldn't be doing this," Apollo sighed.

"Why do we have to read these books?" Hermes groaned. "We know this stuff already,"

Apollo looked at him with confusion for two second. "No, we don't,"

"I'm sure we do, just it's somewhere deep in our minds. Remember? WE WERE THERE!" Hermes stated.

"Yes, we were there. So?" Apollo asked.

"It means that we don't have to memorize it because it's already in our memory," Hermes explained.

"Is it just me, or are you actually saying smart stuff?" Apollo questioned.

"Hey!"

"We have better things to do, anyway," Apollo stated.

"Truth or Dare," Hermes shared a glance with Apollo.

"Only this time will it be even cooler!" Apollo got excited.

"How so?" Hermes raised an eyebrow.

Apollo whispered his plan in the messenger god's ear.

"MOTHER RHEA ALWAYS LIKED YOU BEST!"

"LOVE KILLS POTENTIAL HUNTERS!"

"YOU CHEATED ON ME!"

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

Then, interrupting the usual arguments, a bright light filled the hall. When it was gone, nine demigods remained.

"EXPLAIN YOURSELVES!" Zeus roared.

"Um," a girl with blond hair and gray eyes thought for a moment. "We don't know why we're here,"

"~Gasp!~ Annie doesn't know something!" an elfish Latino boy fake-gasped.

"Call me Annie one more time and I'll gut you," the blond threatened.

"See Ares?" Hephaestus asked. "She has better threats! You could learn from her,"

"Shut up," the war god retorted.

"Wait!" Apollo came in the room panting. "Hermes and I sent these demigods!" the sun god almost collapsed from exhaustion.

"Where is Hermes?" Athena asked.

Apollo looked behind him. "I...Don't...Know. I thought he was right behind me," he lost the messenger god.

Just then, Hermes flashed in, eating a banana. "Why did you run? You could of flashed in," (AN: It hurts to write with poor grammar.)

"Could have! Could have!" Athena corrected.

Apollo wheezed some more, and Athena face-palmed.

Leo, Nico, Thalia, and Percy looked around, and, as if they knew each other's thoughts, which they probably did, they collapsed on the ground, face down, arms out in front of them, screaming "We're not worthy!"

Piper, Jason, Hazel, Annabeth, and Frank had a look that said You have got to be kidding me.

"We're playing Truth or Dare!" Apollo was excited.

"Leo, Nico, Thalia, Percy, do you know what could make you worthy?" Demeter asked.

"No, Lady Demeter," the four said.

"Cereal!" everyone groaned.

"We might as well get started." Aphrodite sighed. "Annabeth, truth or dare?"

"Truth, please," Annabeth smiled.

"When did you start liking Percy?" Aphrodite was interested.

"Um, when I was twelve, ma'am," Annabeth blushed.

"Really?" Percy asked.

"It was rather obvious!" Nico and Thalia chorused.

"No it wasn't!" Percy objected.

"Dear Percy," Leo joined in. "We thought you knew."

"Knew what?" Percy was confused.

"That you have been affected by oblivousitis." Leo looked sad.

"What? No!" Percy played along.

"How are Greeks so playful?" Frank asked.

"No clue," Jason answered. "Those four are just crazy."

"Am not!" the four chorused.

"Hephaestus," Hera stated. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare," the god of forges sighed.

"Take off your metal brace," Hera smiled evilly.

"Dad needs that!" Leo yelled.

"A dare's a dare," Hephaestus took off his metal brace.

Aphrodite whispered a suggestion in his ear. Then, Hephaestus flashed on a different brace, made of plastic.

Leo smiled at Aphrodite.

"Leo," Aphrodite smiled back. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare?" Leo's answer came out as a question.

Aphrodite pouted, she wanted to know who Leo liked. "Jump off Olympus, yell 'Flame on!', set yourself on fire, and have Jason catch you,"

Hermes' cameras were rolling.

Leo groaned. "Jason, come on,"

Jason went with him.

The gods turned on Hephaestus TV so that all could see (AN: That rhymed! I'll shut up now...) and it showed a flaming person yelling 'Flame on!' while falling off of Olympus. A few seconds afterwards, a mysterious blond figure dressed as Superman caught him. (AN: I learned about super heroes from my dad.)

"That was amazing!" Apollo squealed.

"Did you just squeal?" Nico asked.

"Yes, and it was a very manly squeal," Apollo said with dignity.

"Frank," Percy turned to Frank, "Truth or dare?"

Ares leaned forward because he wanted to hear what his son chose.

"Dare,"

Percy grinned evilly, "Turn into an eagle and perch yourself on Piper's head,"

Frank moaned, "I'm going to die,"

Frank shape-shifted into an eagle, and, on a completely different note, Piper's head became a perch.

"Get off, Frank!" Piper shooed Frank away.

Aphrodite smiled proudly as her daughter fixed her hair.

"You are going to pay for that," Frank warned.

"I'm so scared," Percy stated sarcastically.

"Ares!" Demeter asked! "Truth or dare?"

"Dare,"

"Eat a bowl of cereal," Demeter smiled.

"No!" Ares moaned as a bowl of cereal appeared in front of him.

"Is Ares afraid?" Demeter asked.

"No!" Ares repeated himself.

"No need to repeat yourself, Ares," Hermes snickered.

"Disgusting," Ares did not like Lucky Charms.

"Nico!" Thalia yelled in the ghost king's ear. "Truth or dare?!"

"Truth!" Nico screeched in Thalia's ear.

"Who's soul do you spend the most time with?!" Thalia shouted back.

"SHUT UP!" Ares wanted them to shut up.

"Beckendorf"s" Nico answered.

"Alright," Thalia stated.

"Zeus, truth or dare?" Poseidon asked.

"Dare,"

"I dare you to freak out some mortals by jumping off Olympus and getting right back up again." Poseidon smiled.

"Dad!" Percy scolded.

"You're no better, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth punched her boyfriend lightly.

Hermes' cameras were rolling. Everyone could see Zeus belly-flop off of Olympus and hit the pavement. Mortals screamed. You could here the sirens wailing, but Zeus just stood up, causing more panic and confusion.

"Sorry, but this was the fastest way down," Zeus stated.

The lord of the skies then went back in the Empire State Building and to the 600th floor.

"I think that's enough action for now." Hera looked at the time. "It's 9:30, time to go to bed."

"Hera! No!" Hades whined. "One more!"

"One more," Hera agreed.

"Truth or dare?" Hades asked.

"Dare," Hera sighed.

"Do some freestyle dance moves." Hades grinned.

Hera flashed out of her Ancient Greek chiton and into some work-out clothes. Zeus whistled. Hera was an amazing dancer; she was better than the professionals. A minute later, she was done. "Bed time,"

The gods showed the demigods their rooms.

"This is where you go when you're bored," Apollo gestured to the huge TV, movies, books, and video games.

"So...Many...Books," Annabeth was in Elysium.

"Boys on the left, girls on the right," Athena instructed.

The gods and goddesses flashed out.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Leo asked.

"Yeah," Thalia, Nico, and Percy smiled.

Let's just say they spent some time playing video games. Annabeth loved the books.

Finally, they all fell asleep at 10:00. Boys on the left, girls on the right.
