And we've done it, folks! I have somehow accomplished the miracle of getting over 1000 reviews- and it's all thanks to you guys. Seriously. Take all the credit, I don't care, I'm so happy right now :). Also, it's not like I'd have gotten far if you wonderful people hadn't been dutifully reviewing all the time.Cookies are at the bottom of the letter.
In case any of you are curious, the winner of the story is asianeyebrows (I'm not trying to be racist, that's her actual pen name). Some the more observant people reading this may notice that I wrote that she was NOT allowed to participate in the last letter (Because she's the sort of friend that holds this sort of thing over your head for all eternity), but yeah. She annoyed me until I agreed. Stupid friends. Ah well, at least I can irritate her into choosing the type of story I want to write.
BTW- In past letters, I've referred to asianeyebrows as 'Piggy'. Sound familiar?
Legend: Regular is Carter, Italics is Sadie, Bold Regular is Percy, and Bold Italics is Annabeth.
Dear Mortals,
So you're Carter's sister, huh?
Yup. And you're that Percy guy my brother met I while ago- an encounter that he forgot to mention to me, coincidentally?
*Groans* Sadie, I've said sorry about a dozen times already!
Yeah, well, it's not enough.
Hmph. At least Percy had the good sense to tell me about the whole thing.
Wait, did you just imply that Percy is smarter than me?
…YES.
Uh-oh.
I'M SMARTER THAN CARTER! HIS OWN SISTER SAID SO! SEE? I CAN BE SMART, PEOPLES! VERY SMART! And stuff.
It's people, not peoples.
Shut up. I'm smarter than you.
*sighs* Carter, Sadie, can one of you please de-size his ego a bit so we can all fit into this room?
Gladly. In 1259 B.C, Egyptian pharaoh Ramses || and Hittites King Hattusili negotiated a famous peace treaty. What was it called?
…That's Egyptian stuff! How am I supposed to know that?
It was called the Eyptian-Hittite treaty.
Wow, that's creative.
…
Fine, then. Lets talk about something Greek that has something to do with the sea, just to make things easier. In ancient times, the Persians were considered the Greeks' arch-nemesis. They fought a series of battles set over the time period of about half a century, which were later named the Greco-Persian Wars-
Again, so creative.
Be quiet, Sadie. During one particular battle, the Greek fleet- which was Athens was in charge of- was made up of around 350 ships. This was about what size of the Persian fleet?
How the Hades is this supposed to be easier?
Give your answer in fraction format. For example, a half, one third, one fourth….
Um, um, okay. Uh….a half?
Nope. One third.
Same thing!
Percy…*shakes head* Those are two vastly different things.
*smirks*
…Annabeth, now I think we need to de-size my brother's ego.
Punch him.
*stops smirking* Bye. *bolts*
Come back here! *runs off after him*
Ah, sibling love. Isn't it sweet?
I don't know what to say to that. Ah well, at least I'm not the only one suffering.
Sincerely,
Annabeth, Percy, Carter who is still running and Sadie who is still chasing him.
Fun Fact: To find out the thing about the question Carter asked Percy, I just typed 'Egyptian stuff' into the Google search engine. The Greek stuff I already knew- I love learning about the Greco-Persian wars. Anyways, take a cookie:
