Sorry about the long wait, guys. Last week has been really busy for me, again. I get approximately 6 hours of sleep every night. For an entire week. I was too lazy to update yesterday. So here I am! the Trivia answers were:
Voldemort aka Moldyshorts jinxed the job after Dumbledore refused to give it to him. Plus, SOLANGELO IS CANON AS OF THE HIDDEN ORACLE! I love it so much! Congrats to Tara, Arsenal, Sliceo, Mystery0028, Risa Silvara, The God of Animals, and DippedInVinegar for getting both correct. (::)(::)(::)(::) Congrats to Atalanta Jackson, pta1353, Guest, NenziPotatoQueen, I am CJ Daughter of Hades, and Annabeth Chase for getting the fact that SOLANGELO IS NOW CANON! (::)(::) Congrats to TheCanMan, Guest, Qwen Cooper, and Jaden Cage for knowing why the job is jinxed. (::)(::)
Guest: I vote for Percy too, but because he's Percy.
Arsenal: Yeah. Annabeth would get the Lake task done in the same amount of time as the others, because she has no real external powers, but Leo wouldn't exactly have high-grade Celestial Bronze on him to build an aqua suit, either. Percy is probably the best option. He journeyed the Labyrinth, even though that's a different type of maze. Though Annabeth also did that... Percy will still be in it.
I am CJ Daughter of Hades: This story wouldn't be canon if it had Solangelo in it, since it's not written by Uncle Rick. But I didn't do Solangelo, because it wasn't that big of a thing when I started writing this story. Also, I started this story before ToA, so Solangelo wasn't canon at the time. And I'm too lazy to change the entire story. Also, my first 3 chapters are out of life. So I can't exactly change them now. But yeah. Before Solangelo, I was a mild Thalico fan, but Solangelo is almost as big of a thing as Percabeth to me.
Guest: Sorry for not updating, and I will! The next 3 days are free for me! Then of course, I will be gone for a few weeks, but after that, I will have two more free weeks!
TheCanMan: Just go to my profile page, unless you are on the mobile site. Go to the bottom of the screen, and make sure it's on computer/desktop site.
Sliceo: Better than no Solangelo at all!
Qwen Cooper: YES! I am going to use What's-His-Face now! THANK YOU SIR!
Risa Silvara: Yeah, I kinda wanted to have that. I know it isn't in Snape's nature to be nice to someone, but he has to be somewhat nice to his siblings and his friends.
POLL RESULTS!
Percy: 5
Leo: 4
Annabeth: 2
Hazel: 2
Frank: 1
Piper: 1
Jason: 0
Now, here's the delayed but well-deserved chapter!
Annabeth POV:
"Gather round, Uncle Leo's got a story to tell!" Leo shouted, as we all sat in an unused classroom. Since nobody else could know about our horrifying adventures, we had to go away from the rest of the school.
"Nuh uh Leo, we have to start from the start. The very start!" Thalia told him.
So, we talked about Thalia, my, and... Luke's adventures to camp. I told them what happened from after Thalia turned into a tree up to the time when Percy arrived at Camp.
"...When he woke up, the first thing I told him was, 'You drool in your sleep'," We all laughed at that, while Percy turned red.
"Hey! Well, after that, I got the tour, blah blah blah, I stuffed Clarisse's head down a toilet, blah blah blah, but the interesting part was at Capture the Flag. Annabeth set me up for border patrol, even though she knew Ares cabin would target me. So, when they did, I was pretty much screwed. But, when we fought, I got into the river, and it healed me. The rest of the Camp was shocked, since I was a child of the Big Three, so I was, quote unquote,'forbidden'. But wait! Someone let a hellhound in, so I was about to get killed by a massive wall of black death fur, but luckily, Chiron killed it.(A/N I think... I haven't read TLT in a while) So that started my quest to save my Uncle's favorite toy," we laughed, then Percy and I explained our first two quests, then I dropped while Thalia joined in for the third quest, then Nico, Percy and I talked about our fourth quiet, then all the Greeks, minus Piper and Leo, talked about the Titan War. Then we talked about the rest of our quests/war.
"... And down came Leo, with Calypso here, a few months after they the Giant War. Then, Chiron gave us a quest, and here we are!" I concluded.(A/N Remember, this story ignores ToA!)
The Brits were speechless. After a while, Harry spoke. "I-I can't-how-just-wow. Wow. How did you survive all that? And I thought I'd been through a lot."
Ron looked stunned. "You guys went through bloody hell! How did you survive?"
Hermione smacked him, as Percy and I held each other. "Ronald! Don't you remember? They had the help of a good Titan and a good Giant!" She scolded.
"Oh. Right," said Ron.
I rubbed my hands together. "All right. Now your story. I want to hear about what's going on in your world, from the start. Ok?"
So they did. From their first year all they way up to the crazy murderer aka Harry's godfather who was framed.
"Wow. You certainly have been through a lot!" Commented Thalia.
Harry shrugged. "Not as much as you!"
We were silent for a while, until Leo spoke. "Hey, can I have some ice cream now?"
We looked horrified. "LEO VALDEZ! The last time you asked for ice cream, you nearly burned Diagon Alley down!" Calypso yelled.
"But I'm a McShizzle! I need ice cream to keep my life moving!"
"I don't care! No ice cream!"
"Please!?"
"NO!"
"Pwease?"
"NO!"
"Pretty please?"
"Still a no!"
"Fine. You forced my hand," he set his hand on fire, and pushed it into Calypso's back. I smirked, having been told her clothes were all fireproof now. "Whaaa? Why isn't it working?"
Reyna, Thalia, and Nico smirked. "Because all of your girlfriends clothes are fireproof, Valdez." Reyna informed him.
He sighed, and put his hand out. "C'mon, that's not fair! When can I have some fun?"
Jason spoke with finality. "Never. That's it. Never. Ok, Leo? Never."
"Bu-" he started, but Piper interrupted him.
"Leo," she said sweetly, "If you ever try to set someone on fire, I will take away your tool belt and make you run around Camp in just your underwear. Ok?"
Leo looked horrified. "You wouldn't."
"She totally would," Percy laughed, "And I would pay to see that!"
Leo paused, and I glanced around the room. Hazel and Frank had amused expressions on, watching the conversation play out. The wizards were looking at us like we had come from Mars, the planet, not Frank's dad.
I held Percy's hand tighter. Then I leaned on him. He smelled like the sea, as always. His wonderful tan skin was smooth to the touch. I drowned out the argument and whispered in his ear, "I love you, Seaweed Brain."
He looked me in the eyes. His green eyes were amazing. Amazing eyes for an amazing boyfriend, I thought. "You know I love you too, Wise Girl," and with that, he smiled graciously. Not the annoying, troublemaker smile that had always irritated me, but a true genuine, 'I'm in love with you' smile. I grinned back, then focused my attention back to the conversation.
"In my opinion, ground disasters are the most deadly!" Nico declared.
"NO! Air disasters are better! They're always deadlier!" Thalia argued.
"I agree with Thalia. Plus, they're more spectacular." Jason backed Thalia.
"NO! Ground disasters occur more, so they're more deadly!"
I gripped Percy's hand. "Don't you dare join, Mister!" I whispered forcefully.
He grinned the rule breaker smile again. "Wasn't going to, My Lady." He proceeded to mock-bow his head. I used my natural response to his sarcasm. I punched him. He winced, and muttered something about telling on me. I ignored it.
Meanwhile, the argument had gotten more intense.
"AIR!" Thalia and Jason shouted in unison.
"GROUND!" Nico yelled.
"AIR"
"GROUND!"
"SEA!" Percy joined in. I glared at him.
"SHUT UP! YOU'RE NOT EVEN IN THIS, PERCY!" They all screamed.
"All right, all right," he raised his hands, as if he was surrendering, "I won't do it again in this argument."
"AIR!"
"GROUND!"
"AIR!"
"GROUND!"
"AIR!"
"Guys, this is sick. War takes more lives than ground, sea, and air disasters combined. Millions die to nuclear missiles. Armies tear each other apart! So I win." Reyna smirked triumphantly.
Jason seemed to accept defeat, but Thalia and Nico had found something else to argue about.
"I bet you can't spell disaster!" Nico yelled.
"Can too!" Thalia retaliated.
"So how do you spell it, then?"
"Uhh, D-I-S-A-S-T-R!"
"NO! It's D-S-A-S-T-E-R!"
"Why would there be an E?"
"Why would there be an I?"
"Guys. This is the most pointless argument ever. Now, class starts in a few minutes. We better gets going." I shook my head.
Thalia glared at Nico, "Not until he admits I spelled it right!"
Nico glared right back. "NO! You admit!"
"No, you!"
"No, you!"
"No, you!"
"No, you!"
"No, y-"
"Hermione, tell them how to spell disaster, please? I'm getting tired of this." I inquire.
"Wait, you can't spell words?" She looked puzzled.
"We have dyslexia and ADHD. All except Frank, who has better things to do than spell words. So, will you tell these idiots here how to spell it?" I glanced at Thalia and Nico, who were now standing and yelling in each others faces. The other demigods were sitting around them, looking like they were having the best time of their lives.
"Er, yeah," she walked over to them and tapped them both on the back.
They looked over. "What?" Nico asked.
"Disaster is spelled D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R. Ok?" Hermione said, then walked away to Ron and Harry, who were sitting there open-mouthed. Percy looked at them, and told them they do this a lot. Their jaws dropped even lower. Percy snickered, then went back to watching the argument. Even Hazel and Piper were watching.
"HA! Told you it had an I!" Thalia grinned victoriously.
"And I told you it had an E!" Nico replied.
I sighed, exasperated. Reyna was the only other sensible person in the room, excluding the wizards, of course. She seemed to understand that I was tired of them, and spoke up. "Guys. You are both right. You will stop arguing NOW. Neither of you will admit to the other that they won. Ok?" Reyna forcefully told them.
They mumbled, "Fine," and all of us walked out of the classroom.
How was it? Sorry again for the late update. I added a little bit of Percabeth, and some Nico-Thalia argument. That was fun to write.
