Hi everyone!
I know I've been telling you to read 'The Misadventures of a Bald Emo' a lot but it's a really good and funny story, so please read it. Thanks for all your favourites, follows and reviews.
For all those readers out that actually read Author's Notes, I am having a contest.
Send in your randomest/favourite words via reviews. I will pick the TOP 3 words tomorrow (Saturday, 11th of January, 2013) and feature them in Chapter 10. Additionally, first prize gets to read Chapter 10 before anybody else does.
I do not own PJO because if I did, there'd be flying llamas that refused to eat anything but tacos or marshmallows.
The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: Coach Hedge Saves the World
A loud crash came echoing from the hull of the ship. Even though Leo was on video chat with Calypso, he dropped everything and went to see what was wrong.
"Way to show you're serious about it!" Calypso screamed from the TV.
Leo immediately halted in his tracks and started jogging backwards. He got on his knees in front of the television. "Please! I'm not going to find another pro-" Leo pleaded.
"YOU KNOW I'M JOKING, RIGHT?!" Calypso screeched.
"Oh. Er, sorry anyway!"
"What was that?" Calypso asked curiously.
"Oh, it was nothing. Just a demigod back from the dead. Gaia's his patron and he pledged his life for her cause or something," Leo said as if it wasn't really a big deal.
"I sense a story about your heroics, am I right?" Calypso asked sarcastically. She leaned forward as if anticipating an intense and interesting story.
"Well obviously, I was the one who saved the world and if it wasn't for me, all the countries would be in desperate turmoil," Leo replied in the same manner. "I'll get Coach Hedge to recount the entire heroic story."
From his personal experience, Leo knew that it was extremely difficult to drag the manly/goatly chaperone from reruns of a Chuck Norris cage match. Leo even had to tell the satyr that there was a giant batch of tin cans watching for him in the Supreme Commander's cabin.
"So Leo tells me that he singlehandedly saved the world?"
Anyone could tell that Calypso didn't believe Leo's version of the story. You could also tell from Calypso's face that she wasn't exactly the best actress in the world. She was definitely holding back a torrent of giggles.
Coach Hedge looked outraged. "SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT THERE'S NO FREE FOOD?!"
Leo looked around for an escape plan.
"Wait… Did you just say that this cupcake singlehandedly save the world?! Ha! That mini chocolate cupcake with pink icing wouldn't be able to take on a dryad! It was all my work!"
Leo raised an eyebrow. "Mm-hm, that's totally what happened…"
The agitated satyr ignored Leo and continued on with telling his little fantasy.
"And I was being all like a Kung Fu assassin and giving him a mega roundhouse kick. Then he tried to use his super powers to stop me but I was all 'I'm gonna kill you!' I was so vicious that he was all 'OMG, you're way too scary.' And that was how I defeated the enemy," Coach Hedge recounted proudly.
Calypso raised an eyebrow. "Mm-hm, that's totally what happened…"
Coach Hedge glanced at the watch wrapped around his wrist.
"Uh, I gotta go and make a ca- I mean, uh, I gotta go and uh… watch another cage match."
"Bye, Coach!" Leo called to the retreating satyr.
"Farewell, Teller of Stories. Come again soon and tell us another story," Calypso said sweetly.
The satyr turned around to glare at the two of them but then left because of two reasons.
1) It was really hard to glare at two people at the same time and
2) He really had somewhere to be.
"So is this what you do in your spare time?" questioned Calypso with an amused look.
Leo couldn't help but shrug.
"We found them."
"Are you certain?"
"There's only one flying ship out there with a chicken nugget shield."
"Ah yes… I see. In that case, it's definitely them."
"Do you want to tell the Lady or should I?"
"Knock yourself out."
"Thanks."
Just a reminder that there's a contest.
Just pick your randomest/favourite word and post it via reviews.
