The two most powerful demigods had just been sitting around in the Poseidon cabin when Persephone suddenly appeared. She asked them to tell her about Solangelo and the two immediately sprung into action. Percy and Jason managed to easily explain what was going on with Nico and Will to Persephone with at least 5-10 squealing sessions in between. Persephone marveled at the fact that two very powerful demigods could diminish into a pair of males squealing like schoolgirls. Jason managed to calm down and told her of their plan to try and make them realize they like each other. It was a simple plan to make a moonlit dinner with an Italian styled theme to it. Persephone liked the idea, but she wanted to prove something first.
"If you'll excuse me, boys," she interrupted them, "I would like to confirm something before you execute your plans tonight."
She transformed herself into a 13 year old girl with green eyes and long, flowing brown hair. Percy and Jason stared at her in confusion.
"If anyone asks, I am the new daughter of Demeter. Tell Chiron and Dionysus of my arrival here as soon as possible."
The two nodded and rushed to the Big House quickly. Persephone, on the other hand, sat down by a tree to think of a name.
"Patricia Peloza, daughter of Demeter," Persephone spoke aloud.
The name had a nice ring to it. Persephone/Patricia poofed herself out of the Poseidon cabin and to the front of the camp, so it seemed like she was coming in. She looked at the dragon lying beneath the tree and watched the Golden Fleece shimmer as stray beads of sunlight hit it. She marveled at its beauty. Sure, she heard of all the accomplishments made by the demigods, but this was even better than hearing it. She walked through the border and headed to the faded blue barn house and stood on the porch. The entrance was wide open and looked into the living room of the house. Persephone/Patricia strode in with an air of confidence to see Dionysus and Chiron playing poker with Jason and Percy in front of them.
"Chiron, Dionysus," she greeted the duo.
Chiron nodded in her direction and placed down a set of cards. "Royal Flush."
Dionysus sent an annoyed look towards Persephone/Patricia. "It's Mr. D, Persephone."
"Call me Patricia Peloza, 'Mr. D'," she responded with an amused look. "I will be going off, if you may allow me to."
Chiron spoke up. "I have been informed by these boys right here of your plans. I'll send Will Solace to guide you around camp."
"Thank you, Chiron."
"Percy, Jason, will you fetch Will Solace?"
AAAARRRFF!
Someone cried out from the training grounds. "No, Ms. O' Leary! Don't!"
BOOOM! CRASH!
"Oh, dear," Chiron looked out a window. "I forgot that Ms. O'Leary is working on 'F-E-T-C-H-ing'"
Mr. D groaned. "There goes another shield and probably a set of armor. Maybe a cabin, as well."
"Hey, Will!" Percy hollered loudly.
He and Jason rushed into the infirmary with exhausted looks on their faces. Will looked up from the papers in his hands.
"Oh, hey guys," he smiled. "What's the problem?"
Jason took a breath. "Oh, nothing much. Chiron wants you to guide a new kid. She's already claimed as a daughter of Demeter."
"Why can't Katie do it?" Will blinked in confusion.
"Ms. O'Leary. F-E-T-C-H. Demeter Cabin. A shield stuck on the roof."
"Ah."
"Anyway," Percy interrupted, "Could you fill in for Katie's place?"
Will nodded. "Sure, I already finished my rounds, so I can take a break."
With that, the sunny blonde headed off to the Big House while Percy and Jason laid about on the ground.
"Good excuse," Percy complimented.
"It was all thanks to Fortuna being on our side, today."
"Yep."
They sat in a comfortable silence on the ground of the infirmary. The other Apollo kids ignored their presence since they were always spying on Will and Nico. All was peaceful, but everyone knows there's nothing peaceful about a demigod's life.
CRRRRRRRACK! SCREEECH!
"GODS, WHO SAID F-E-T-C-H?!"
WOOF! BARK!
Will hurried to the Big House, but not without making sure one of the Apollo kids was at the sites of destruction. The background of all this chaos started when Tyson visited came and taught Ms. O'Leary fetch, but it went out of hand. Will finally reached the porch and went into the living room. He was met with Mr. D loosing against a mysterious girl.
"Full House," Mr. D glared at the girl.
She gave him a mocking look. " Straight Flush."
Chiron was lightly snickering from his wheelchair. Will knew that Mr. D was a fairly good player, he can manage to beat the Stolls even when they're cheating. This girl had some serious skills if she can beat Mr. D.
Will coughed to interrupt the game. "Ummm… I'm here to guide the new camper? Katie is pretty busy with the problem involving... retrieving items."
The girl stood up and turned to Will with a polite smile. "Ah. I'm Pe-Patricia Peloza, daughter of Demeter. "
"Will. Will Solace," Will gave her a bright smile and she returned the favor.
Patricia placed down her cards to follow him out of the Big House. He introduced the main cabins and the other section of cabins. He showed her the amphitheater and the rock-climbing wall. The duo passed by the lake and the dining pavilion.
"This is the training grounds," Will pointed to the commotion. "Be careful when you say F-E-T-C-H. Ms. O'Leary, one of the only good in the world hellhounds, has some problems with commands. The Demeter got the short end of the stick because of it…"
Patricia noticed Will's eyes lingering on a boy handling Ms. O'Leary. He was wearing an aviator jacket and dressed in all black. Patricia(Persephone) inwardly smirked at the look on Will's eyes. The training grounds were to their right side, so Will was obscuring Patricia's view. Even with that, she could see Nico clearly from where they were standing.
"He doesn't even realize we aren't moving," she snickered under her breath. "Will, right?"
He snapped back to her and laughed in embarrassment. "Sorry! I'm just worried about the others."
Patricia snorted. "Mmmhmmm. More like that guy in all black."
"W-W-What?!"
His face flushed deep red and he looked down in embarrassment.
"You like him, don't you?"
"I-"
"Don't deny a woman's instinct, Solace."
Will deflated like a balloon that was popped. "Yes. I do, but he probably doesn't like me that way."
"I'm going to ask him," Patricia announced loudly.
His eyes bugged out and he latched on to the girl. "NO! Please don't ask Nico."
She looked at him with a devious look. "Let go of me and let me ask him or I'll say the 'F' word."
"You wouldn't dare."
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFEEEEEEEEEEE-mmmmph!"
Will's hand clamped onto her mouth and he hissed into her ear. "Fine! Just don't cause any casualties!"
"No, promises," she responded and walked up to Nico.
