So a character in Supernatural got his throat slit on screen and my dad said to turn off the TV and I was extremely tempted to tell him that I've seen worse. I turned it off instead.
And there's eighth graders visiting my high school right now I'm gonna scare all of them away lol
Also, this will forevermore be the best chapter title I have ever come up with.
Ever.
And Will, Cecil, and Lou Ellen are like the Golden Trio of Camp Half-Blood and you can't tell me otherwise THEY WILL FOREVERMORE BE THE BESTEST OF THE FRIENDS-EST
Also Lou Ellen and Cecil's relationship is so fun to write like wow. I'm writing it as some sort of whole brother/sister thing but with some weird flirty thing going on even though I accidentally paired Lou Ellen with Miranda Gardener in my head lol.
(You guys need to stop reading this story because at this rate I'll create a ship for every minor character in the series I've already paired Kayla with Pollux and Connor with Lacy and I will never stop)

Chapter 11: Save Room for Chiron, Not Jesus
"Okay, what's the next plan?"
Lou Ellen tucked a curly strand of blonde hair behind her ear, studying the packet she was holding with such intensity that Annabeth had to restrain herself from snatching it out of her hands, lest she burn two eye-shaped holes into it with laser beams from her eyes or whatever. And seeing how she was a daughter of Hecate, she probably could if she tried hard enough.
Jason swallowed nervously, and Annabeth could tell he was probably thinking the same thing. "Well, we've already done the dinner date, and we haven't had much ideas beyond those."
Cecil leaned over Lou Ellen's shoulder to study the list. "I'll say," he snorted, and she put her hand on his face and pushed him away.
"Didn't your mom ever tell you to not read over people's shoulders?!" she grumbled.
"Eh, no, not really. So I'll just keep on doing it~"
"Shut up!" she laughed, pushing him away again. He just rolled his eyes, but quit doing it.
"Anyways, you guys have pretty much have the rest of the millennia planned out, in terms of get-together ideas," Lou Ellen continued, flipping the page she was reading over so she could look at the back, "And I must say that these are very interesting ideas."
"We asked basically any and every camper we could find at Camp Half-Blood for ideas, and wrote them all down. We're not planning to do all of them, some we'll cut out because they'll cost either too much money or aren't possible to do."
"I see." Cecil stroked his chin as though he were stroking a beard.
"So we gotta really look at the list at some point," Jason added.
"Also, because me and Cecil are basically Will's best friends, we'll be able to help narrow down what ideas will and will not work!" Lou Ellen dropped the packet neatly on the table and rubbed her hands together gleefully, although in her case, it looked more psychopathic than adorable.
Annabeth nodded. "Yup! That's what we gotta do!"
Cecil groaned. "Please don't tell me that we start right now, school is bad enough as it is!"
"We start."
The son of Hermes dropped his head onto the table. "Kill me," he moaned, making a fake gun with his hand and mock-shooting himself with it.
Lou Ellen nudged him with her elbow. "C'mon, Cecil! It'll be fun! We're coming up with ways to torture Will, after all."
Cecil sighed. "Fine. I'll help when I feel like it. In a thousand years, but still." His voice was slightly muffled by the placement of his head upon the table.
Lou Ellen grinned at the other demigods. "He's in."
"Only because if I don't, all of you blonde people will perform some sort of ritual to your blonde god to force me to help," Cecil groaned, lifting his head up off the table.
Jason snickered. "Blonde god?"
"I don't know, blonde people are scary. You probably do have a god of the blondes somewhere that you sacrifice to routinely."
"How are we scary?"
"Have you met Will?" Cecil pointed at Lou Ellen. "Or Lou Ellen?" Lou Ellen wiggled her fingers, smiling cheekily.
Annabeth had to bite her lip to keep from collapsing into laughter. "Yes, I have. But we're blondes too, so…"
"Yeah."
Lou Ellen flipped back to the front of the packet. "Okay! Let me undo the staple, and we can each take five pages, yeah?"
"Yeah!" Jason and Annabeth agreed, while Cecil mimed shooting himself again. Lou Ellen grinned and started to pick out the stapler with her fingernail. When it was out, she counted out five pages equally and handed them out to each person. Cecil sighed, but started to read. As they went down the papers, each person crossed items out with a pen, sometimes muttering things like "No, too expensive" or "April's a long way off" or even "How are you supposed to kick the cow hard enough to send it over the hot air balloon?"
None of them heard the footsteps rapidly approaching the Athena cabin from the outside until they were nearly outside the door. Jason lifted his head up from his list. "Hey, do you guys hear something-"
BAM!
Leo burst through the door, running at a full-speed football-style tackle, as though he were fiercely protecting the ball from the opposing players trying to get to it, which made Annabeth wonder if Coach Hedge had ever forced Leo to play football at the Wilderness School. The son of Hephaestus just kept going until he ran smack dab into the wall, falling backwards on the floor.
"Leo!" Everyone jumped up to stare at their fallen friend. "Are you-"
The words were barely out of Annabeth's mouth before she heard what sounded like dogs panting, and she turned to see Percy, Piper, and Calypso, standing by the door, bent double as they huffed and puffed.
Lou Ellen looked back from them to Leo to them to Leo in confusion. "Uh, guys? What's going on?"
"Trouble! Big, huge trouble!" Piper gasped, before collapsing in a heap on the floor. Jason yelped and ran to assist his fallen girlfriend.
"We ran…as…fast…as we…could!" Calypso wheezed.
By then, Annabeth had also walked over to put her hands on Percy's shoulder. "What's going on?" she asked him loudly, shaking him a little.
Percy coughed. "Don't shake me so hard, Wise Girl."
Leo's head suddenly popped up between Lou Ellen and Cecil, causing both demigods to shriek and fall off their stools. "Chiron called a counselor meeting!" he announced.
Annabeth frowned. "How's that so bad? I mean, it's off-schedule, we just had our monthly one a few days ago, but still."
"He didn't call all of the cabins that usually have to come to the meeting!" Piper added, now sitting up with Jason's help.
Jason raised an eyebrow. "That's weird. But not really a cause for concern."
"He didn't call Apollo and Hades!"
"Apollo and Hades…" Annabeth trailed off.
Let's see, who's the head of the Apollo cabin? Will. And who's the head of the Hades cabin? Nico. So he didn't call Will and Nico-oh. Oh. OH.
Annabeth and Jason jumped up at the same time. "HE DIDN'T CALL WILL AND NICO!" they yelled.
Calypso nodded. "Are we in the fire and not the frying pan?" she asked.
"Yes, Calypso. I believe we most certainly are," Annabeth answered.
*Why didn't Chiron require Will and Nico's presence at the counselor meeting? Stay tuned after this linebreak.*
The mood around the Ping-Pong table was heavy and tense, many of the campers silent. Those that were not chattered nervously.
Katie from Demeter and Lou Ellen played a round of Rock-Paper-Swords, Lou Ellen's nervousness causing her to accidentally morph her hands so that they did look like a rock, paper, or sword. Connor and Travis shook up cans of Coke, glancing around nervously. Butch from Iris tapped his fingers on the table, while Alexia Cantu from Nike glared at him, wanting him to stop but too afraid to ask. Percy, Piper, Jason, and Annabeth didn't say a word, while Leo assembled a miniature nuclear reactor and then disassembled it. Even Clovis was awake, which was a miracle in itself.
The room stayed like that for a while, until Kyle Ezra from Janus looked up from his book and asked, "Hey, where's Will and Nico?"
The members of the Seven currently present at the meeting jumped and tried not to look panicked. Clarisse just growled and told him, "Didn't you hear the memo? Chiron didn't call for Hades and Apollo's presence."
Kyle frowned. "But I thought he called a counselor meeting?"
"Maybe they're just busy with a thing! Right?" Katie asked, focus otherwise unwavering from her game. "I mean, why else wouldn't they be here? Chiron doesn't know about Solangelo so-"
The door opened them, and everyone jumped, expecting Chiron, Mr. D, or, even worse, both of them. But it was only Kayla from the Apollo cabin, followed by Hansika Chaddra from Nemesis.
"Sorry I'm late!" Kayla grinned. Hansika just walked over to a stool and sat down, pulling out a blade and a small sharpener, as to sharpen it. Kayla walked over to the stool between Percy and Lou Ellen, sitting down. "Chiron told me to fill in for Will today. Do any of you guys know what that's about? Because I haven't seen him since lunch."
Everyone gulped.
Kayla looked around. "Hey, where's Nico? Will's not here, and Nico's not here…oh, no. Who told Chiron?"
Everyone started shouting all at once, defending themselves, until a voice said, "Enough."
Chiron walked into the room, hooves clicking against the polished marble floor. Behind him, Mr. D. took a sip from his soda can and trudged behind him. Every camper started to silently pray to their godly parent, even Pollux, whose parent was in the same room as him.
Mr. D. nudged Chiron. "The brats are praying to their parents," he fake-whispered.
Chiron sighed. "Please, nephew, let us begin the meeting." Annabeth was confused, until she remembered that Chiron was a son of Kronos, as was Zeus, so any child of Zeus would technically be Chiron's niece or nephew. So Chiron would be her…great-uncle? She found pleasure in the thought of being related to the kind centaur that way, as he was a second father to her. But she was still scared.
Mr. D. pulled out a stool next to Connor and grunted in dissent. Connor turned a shade paler, and sweat broke out on his forehead. Needless to say, everyone pitied him, even Pollux, although he was a bit miffed that his father didn't want to sit down next to him.
"I supposed you are wondering why I have called all of you here today," Chiron announced, standing at the head of his table with his hands behind his back. Everyone gulped.
"Not really," Piper lied, with a strained smile on her face. Chiron raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything more. She was relieved. Maybe this wasn't about Solangelo!
"You see, I have taken notice of a few, ah, incidents that have been happening in this camp. They were truly brought to my attention last week when a certain camper visited the Big House, complaining about the disappearance of his clothing."
Everyone gulped again. Nico had brought his missing-clothes problem up to Chiron. This shouldn't have been surprising, since they were wondering how he had managed to get them from the Hermes cabin unharmed, and nobody from the cabin was willing to say what convinced them to give back those clothes.
"What do you mean?" Alexia asked.
"I mean as in singing cabins, bothering the Oracle, surprise dinners, locked closets, and stolen clothing, not to mention a few others."
With each word he spoke, the campers' stomach sank lower and lower. Chiron knew. Chiron knew, and they were so totally busted. Mr. D. snickered, and took a swig of his soda.
"How...How did you know?" Jason finally asked.
"You have me to thank for that," Mr. D. said, and everyone turned to stare at him. He glared. "What? It's not my fault. There was a meeting on Olympus last night, and Aphrodite just would not shut up about your little shipping club. Needless to say, Apollo wants to join the moment he's allowed to leave Olympus and Hades is plotting murder."
Having the heads of the camp know was bad, but the godly parents of the OTP? Even worse.
"Please don't let him kill us," Leo whimpered.
Mr. D. snorted. "I could honestly care less about what Hades does, I don't give a hoot about your little shipping club," he claimed, and everyone felt three thousand tons of pressure lift itself off their chests. "Just let me know when you get them together, because Ares bet three dozen drachmas that they get together after New Year's, and I'm gonna prove him wrong. Because if there's one thing I know after being stuck in this camp for years, it's that you brats are surprisingly resourceful."
"Yes, sir!" Leo saluted, then realized what he was doing. "Oh, wait…" Next to him, Jason facepalmed.
Mr. D. waved a hand in Leo's direction. "See that? That's respect." Then he snapped his fingers and was gone, leaving the smell of Grape Coke behind.
There was a moment of silence, until Kyle spoke up. "Chiron, are we in trouble?"
Chiron chuckled. "Don't worry, you aren't in any trouble from me or Dionysus. In fact, I bet a few drachma myself that they get together before Christmas." Then he frowned. "But do try to tone it down, stealing Mr. di Angelo's clothes was going quite too far. And tell your cabins that as well."
Everyone nodded solemnly, but they couldn't help themselves from grinning. They weren't in trouble, from Mr. D. nor Chiron! And they even seemed to approve! They could practically hear a church choir singing "Hallelujah" in this distance.
But Chiron wasn't finished speaking. "And I don't believe you need to worry about me or Mr. D. being the ones that are upset."
"What do you mean?" Percy asked, until the door flew open.
Standing in the doorway was none other the Nico di Angelo and Will Solace.
Oops, a cliffhanger not as bad as the cliffhanger from the Mark of Athena!
Is Mr. D. even back at Camp Half-Blood yet in the books? Eh. I don't really care, plus it's easier to write it with Mr. D. being back.
I actually think this may have been the first time I have ever really written Mr. D. It was more fun than I expected it to be.
And my chapters are starting to get shorter. Huh. That's funny. I really want to make them longer but I'm just too lazy to. I guess I need more drama!
Has anyone seen Big Hero 6 yet? Because whenever I see a commercial I look at Hiro and think "He is totally Nico di Angelo don't lie to me." In looks, at least. Although going off the fact that Hiro has an older brother who's dead, and Nico has an older sister who's dead…I actually came up with an AU for a movie I have yet to see lol. Oh well, I did the same thing with the Book of Life.
And what if Will met Baymax? C'mon, guys. A guy who is totally in love with healing stuff and whatnot that wants to be a doctor meeting a robot that is a doctor? He'd die of happiness. And also try to get Leo to make a Baymax for him lol. Nico would be so jealous.
Also, challenge for every chapter of the entire story starting now: Name your favorite line from each chapter! It can be any line, I won't judge! Just a line that made you laugh or cry or whatever!
