Hello! Thanks for the reviews! :) I'd like to mention that for the most part, the rest of this story is hopefully going to be more happy, and lighthearted. I apologize for the future, in case I have a bad day and end up writing a depressing chapter. Hopefully that doesn't happen, and I don't think it will! It might possibly on Monday the 29th, but that's only cause I have a doctor's appointment. And let's just say that I'm going to be a nurse or doctor when I get older. :) After getting six shots last time (because when I was born over a decade ago, they hadn't given the shots to me at the right time) I am forever scarred emotionally. Not like I wasn't before, but the Dora bandages did not heal over my feelings to the doctors in general. I got really off topic, so my poll is still up, in case you need to last minute vote! I own nothing, but please do enjoy this chapter!

Percy's POV

"Hey, Uncle H," Alexander said to Hades to get his attention. Hades gave Alex a startled look, as if he couldn't believe someone called him that. "Can you make a prison for this guy over here? Maybe throw him into Tartarus?"

"No!" I interrupted. "I mean... I know he worked with Kronos, but can't we give him the fields? He'll never remember what happened and he won't be a threat to us any more. If he gets Tartarus, he might be able to escape." In truth, j just didn't want to see my brother (or anyone) condemned to Tartarus. It's too awful a place.

Hades sighed, but agreed. He took Perseus to the underworld to add him to the fields. I turned to my five remaining brothers. "Anyone have any sunglasses or hats?"

We we turned to dad. In unison, we asked, "Dad?" It's good to have brothers, or siblings of any kind at that.

Minutes later, all six of us demigods were decked out in black fedoras and dark sunglasses. The kind of sunglasses that you see tough guys and cops wear on television. I mean, they're for regular people too I guess, but they're the ones sterotypically for tough people.

"Ok guys!" I yelled out to everyone. "Group huddle!"

My my five brothers and the four gods crowded around me.

"Ew gross dude!" Jake exclaimed once he got near me. "When was the last time you put on some deodorant?"

Everyone chuckled led while I scowled. "I'm sorry, but I was too busy bringing you to life that I forgot to make sure I smell nice for your 'precious' nostrils."

Calming down from my little peeve, I started to recount the plan we had made. "Ok, everyone remember the plan?"

Everyone groaned. "Come on son! You've drilled this into our minds many times already! This isn't a war battle plan!" Poseidon whined.

Ignoring them, j continued. "Ok. So first, Hera will walk in. Following her will be Poseidon, Hades, and Hecate. Not due to any bias or different levels of power. I did just pick names out of a hat to decide what the order was.

"After they walk in, the doors close. We stay hidden and out of sight while the doors are open. Once the doors are fully closed, we wait a total of 20 seconds before we start having people go in."

"Yeah yeah yeah," Alexander interrupted. "We know!"

Still, i continued to ignore. "I go in first, and the doors close. We wait a total of five seconds. Then Wrath comes in. The doors close. Five seconds pass. Next is Somos. The doors close. Wait five seconds, and then Alexander joins the party. The doors close and five seconds pass. Jake waltzes in, and then the doors close. Another five seconds, and finally Peter walks in.

"We we all stand in a line silently and listen to the chattering, which there will definitely be. Hades, Hera, Hecate, and Poseidon will say nothing to or about us. We wait until either Annabeth or Athena asks a question, then we answer. Try to have at least two of us answer in unison. That'll creep them out more." Despite hearing this many a time, everyone was smiling at my word choice.

"Any questions?"

Of course, nobody spoke up. As previously mentioned, I did give this same rundown several times. All the questions had been asked (and answered) already. But hey, I did want to make sure everyone followed my carefully crafted plan!

I must've zoned out for a while, because when i refocused my eyes again, Wrath was waving a hand in front of my face. Someone, I couldn't see who (because of Wrath's obnoxious hand in my face), was calling my name.

"Wha..." I murmured.

They chuckled and sighed with exasperation. "Dude, you zoned out again! This ain't a war. This is just a fun little joke. A prank maybe."

"I know!" I said, somewhat defensively. Ok, maybe a lot defensively.

Everyone around me rolled their eyes. "Yeah right," many of them chuckled to the others.

"Whatever," I mumbled to myself, but it only gave laughter to those closest to me. Sighing in defeat, I said, "Ok. Ok. I'm hilarious, thanks. Maybe I should be a comedian."

Alexander came up and out an arm around my shoulders in a joking manor. "Come on man! We kid, ya know? We're cool. You wanna do one last run down of the plan? Make yourself feel better?"

Despite myself, I smiled. "Naw. You guys should know it by heart anyways. Besides, the best way to test your remembering skills is to actually follow through with the plan! Who's ready?"

A chorus of "I am!" came after my exclaimed question. Grinning ear to ear, I started to get ready to do the plan.

"Ok! Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Hecate. You four need to don looks of bored or disinterest. Look passive. Do NOT smile." They nodded, and I turned to my brothers.

"Ok guys! Glasses and hats, glasses and hats! You can smile, frown, smirk, whatever. But try to all look mostly the same. We can't have them knowing who Wrath is, or who any of us are. Peter, don't even look at Thalia. Same goes for you Wrath! Alexander, don't look too much like an admirer of Ares! Somos, don't try to hide in the shadows too much. I understand if you want to stand near them, but donk't try to disappear. Jake, don't look at Annabeth. She might recognize your different facial structure. Or your mysterious stance and natural."

Everyone nodded. "Got it chief!" I rolled my eyes at the chief mention, but that also made me remember to visit Blackjack. Oh geez I miss him. I wonder who has been giving him donuts while I was gone.

"Alright! Let's do this! Guys, hide! Olympians and Hecate, your time to shine." They walked in, one after another after another after another. Twenty seconds passed. I opened the doors, and i walked by myself. No going back. This is it.
