Chapter 4

You (First person now)

I was exhausted by dinner time. After archery with the Apollo cabin I'd had sword practice with Percy and Jason, son of Jupiter, canoeing, also with Percy, and Ancient Greek with Annabeth. I took a quick shower, then met Percy at the Poseidon table.

"You gotta sit with me at the campfire, Y/N," he said. "I've still got people to introduce you to. I'll IM my friends from Camp Jupiter and have a big party later. You do not know this about me, but I happen to throw the wildest parties in my cabin." He put a hand at his chest dramatically.

I chuckled. "Sure." Percy seemed like the big brother that acted like he didn't care about you, but come to your cabin looking even slightly annoyed and poof, your problems are gone. "Sounds fun."

After dinner I followed him to the campfire. I sat on his left, Annabeth on his right, and Jason on my left. Next to Jason was a really pretty girl with hair that looked like she cut it herself with plastic scissors. Next to the girl was Leo Valdez, with Calypso holding on to his arm and with her head on his shoulder, her eyes closed. Leo seemed uncomfortable. Not sure why though, Calypso was really pretty, and it couldn't have been easy to get a Titaness to date you.

Everyone started singing this song. Eventually I caught on:

Oh, things couldn't be worse

When your parents run the universe

Ohhhh, things couldn't be worse

When your folks run the universe

The Hermes cabin went first. I didn't catch the words because I was staring at the campfire, but I snapped back when one of the Stoll brothers- Percy had pointed them out to me during dinner- called out to Annabeth.

My mom's Athena, she's smart and she's wise,

She's sworn off gluten, and she's sworn off guys, Annabeth sang.

If she came to camp, it'd be a surprise, oh nooo,

Oh nooo, everyone echoed.

My stepmom hated me and my dad worked all day, (past tense because things have changed)

So I left Virginia and I ran awaaaayy

"Wait, is that true?" I asked Percy over everybody singing the chorus of the song.

"Yeah, but things changed," Percy yelled back. "Everything's fine now!"

Now Annabeth had passed her turn to Katie Gardener from the Demeter cabin.

My mom's Demeter, goddess of grain,

She gets excited when it starts to rain, Katie sang her verse,

But planting and planting and planting's a pain, oh nooo!

Oh noooo! The camp chorused.

Right? For their sixteenth birthday, my friends got a car, Katie took it up again.

I got a fern and some dumb Mason jar! (I think that's wrong, feel free to correct me)

The chorus started up again.

Oh, things couldn't be worse

When your parents run the universe

Ohhhh, things couldn't be worse

When your folks run the universe

This time, Calypso perked up and asked, "Hey Chiron! Who's your dad?" The smirk on her face said she already knew the answer. Of course she knows, I realized. Calypso is the daughter of Atlas.

She got several, scratch that, at least one death glare from every single demigod in the pavilion, especially Percy. I decided not to ask him now.

"My dad is Kronos," Chiron said. "He ate his children, and tried to destroy us all two years ago."

"Chiron wins," Percy said. Everyone agreed saying things like, 'yeah, remember that?' and 'his dad's definitely the worst.'

"How about you, Percy?" Calypso asked, smirking bigger if possible. I saw Leo give her a slight elbow to the side, probably for being the annoyance she was being.

"Oh, no no no. If I try to sing, it'll probably cause an avalanche," Percy said, shaking his head. "How about you, Y/N?"

"What?! Me?!" I said, surprised.

"Yeah," Percy said. "C'mon. Give it a shot. We're all friends here."

"Hm. Okay."

(I made up this verse btw)

My dad is Poseidon,

Made those Pegasi you're ridin',

When the sea's mad,

it's because of my dad

Oh noo, I sang, making it all up on the spot (it took like 5 minutes to come up with in real life)

Oh nooo, everyone echoed, which I took as permission to do a couple more lines.

And my mom she's amazing,

But life is a'crazing,

Never met my dad,

Is he really that bad?

The chorus started again. I looked around at everyone's happy faces, but one female figure next to Leo Valdez rolled her eyes. Guess who? (Hint: rhymes with Balypso.)

"How about you, Piper?" A girl with braces asked.

The girl next to Jason got up, I assumed she must be Piper. She started singing in a beautiful voice,

The goddess of love, my mom's Aphrodite,

She tries to stay cool, but mainly she's flighty,

I bring my boy home, she's there in her nightie,

Oh nooo

OH NOOOO! Everyone sang out, sounding like they felt truly bad for Piper. "It's so embarrassing, guys!" Piper yelled out.

The chorus started up again, then the song was over. Well, that was fun. Except, I didn't get why Calypso was so mean.



Bet you didn't see that coming. Fun, right? I'm taking requests, but I'm sort of mainly focusing on my other story. I'll still do this though. Thanks demigods!
