Here it is the long awaited fifth chapter!

Yay!

And without further ado, to help me with the disclaimer is my sick laptop (he's really down with a virus but just pretend) HANK THE NEANDERTHAL

Me: Hank, until you're better, I OWN PERCY JACKSON

Hank: All you own is Ethan, and my character

Me: you don't have a character

Hank: WHAT? I've helped you with every single chapter and I don't even have a CHARCTER?

Me: (awkwardly walking out) Okay I don't own Percy Jackson but Hank is really is my best friend, I promise.

Despite the fact that the kids were half god, they could not, for their lives, light a fire.

"No," Annabeth was insisting

"Whyyyy," whined Thalia, "It's a good idea!"

"No, Thalia," Annabeth insisted, "using lightning to set a fire is not a good idea!"

"Why not?" whined Thalia

"Well for one thing, you could set the entire forest on fire!"

"But-"
"And for another, that would set a much larger fire than you might think,"

"Bu-"

"No,"

"B-"

"No, and that's final!" Thalia rolled her eyes

"Fine," she grumbled "but we still don't have a fire."

"Rach?" they said, in unison. Rachel looked up

"Don't look at me; I've never played with fire."

Just then Percy came over, "I thought you packed matches," he said to Rachel, who promptly turned red as her hair and started mumbling that they were in her bag.

OoOoOoOo

We finally got a fire started… after an hour… and twelve matches.

As we sat by the fire, I felt I just had to ask

"Okay, so, what's it like being a demigod?" I asked, then added, "Or an oracle?" I nodded to Rachel, who smiled great fully

Percy was the first to speak, "Well, it's terrifying, dangerous, depressing, and you become really paranoid," he looked around, and smiled, "but y'know it's also kinda cool, I mean you get to go on quests, some of us even have cool powers, like I can sort of control water, and as you can probably guess, Thalia can do stuff with lightning, and Nico is just a little scary." I looked at the young kid; he wasn't really all that dangerous looking, to be honest he was sometimes a little difficult to take seriously. The demigods (Wow, it really felt weird to say that) noticed the strange look on my face, and Percy added,

"You might think Nico is harmless now, but you haven't seen him in action," Nico smirked, and wiggled his eyebrows. Everyone laughed at this.

"These, um, for lack of a better word, superpowers, must come in handy when things like… like," at a loss for words I started gesturing towards the highway, "like, um, whatever happened back there… happen,"

"Yeah," sighed Nico, "monsters attacking you left and right gets old pretty quick."

Percy then added, "But, at least ya get a break at good ol' Camp Half Blood!"

Annabeth, seeing the incredibly confused look on my face, explained, "Camp Half Blood is a camp for people like us, demigods," then, of course, added, "and, the one and only, Oracle of Delphi," Rachel smiled.

"I'm gonna take a wild guess, and say that this camp isn't like regular summer camps, huh?" I said, Rachel snorted

"You can say that again," she said, "I'm really the only one who's actually been to a regular summer camp!"(AN: I honestly don't know if Rachel really has, but her parents seem like they would ship her off to camp for the summer)

"Hey!" said Thalia indignantly, "What about me and Annabeth?"

"Annabeth and I." (Guess who said that)

Rachel rolled her eyes, "A twelve year old running around in the wilderness with a fourteen year old and a six year old with a knife is NOT a summer camp,"

Thalia added, "Don't forget Grover, he's a satyr." (That last part was for me)

Rachel shook her head, "Still not a regular summer camp, at most it is very, very odd camping,"

"But what's Camp Half Blood like?" I asked

"Well," said Percy, "You train, and fight, climb the rock wall that has lava pouring down the sides, get prophecies made by the oracle, and if you're really lucky you go on life threatening quests, and don't, well, die."

This all struck me as a little scary but the way they were all smiling suggested something else.

"Wow," I said, "This camp must be really important to you all."

Annabeth smiled, "You have no idea."

Percy smiled, "It's where we met,"

"Heck it's where I met everyone!" said Nico

"Technically," Annabeth said, "The only one you really met there was Rachel, everyone else you met at Westover Hall."

"Yeah but you were taking us to camp." (That was Nico)

"True enough," Annabeth replied

"By the way," Nico added, "I'm sorry you fell off that cliff."

"Hey, no hard feelings," Annabeth said, "besides it's more Percy's fault than yours."

"You guys just can't pass up an opportunity to make fun of me; can you?" Percy sighed

For about five seconds there was silence. Then Thalia started to clap. Percy looked confused.

"WOW!" Thalia laughed, "Kelp Head knows a big word!" Everyone started laughing. When they stopped Percy turned to me and said "See,"

I laughed, so did everyone else.

"Anyway," Annabeth continued, "I fell but it's not like I hit the bottom,"

"That's true,"

"What else has happened there?" I asked

"Well," Percy thought, than looked at Annabeth, "It's where we had our first kiss."

Annabeth frowned, "Technically our first kiss was on Mount Saint Helens."

"Yeah, well our first kiss as an actual couple was at camp." agreed Percy

"Yeah," Annabeth said, "Remember that couples name the Aphrodite girls came up with, what was it again?"

"Wasn't it ummm…." Percy thought for a second

Annabeth snapped, "I've got it! It was Percabeth!"

Everyone burst out laughing

"What about that other kiss,"

Percy turned bright red.

"He almost died." Said Annabeth, "Then he 'forgot' to come back for a week,"

Percy sighed but before he could say anything Rachel tapped her watch and said

"If we want to actually win in a fight tomorrow, we should go to bed or um sleeping bag? I guess?"

As I crawled into my sleeping bag, I wondered what the story behind those missing weeks was…
