Carter's POV
Okay, so it was not my idea to host a big party in the middle of Brooklyn, in our mansion on top of a ruined warehouse. It just sort of . . . happened.
Let me back up just a little bit.
So, Sadie and I were off for summer vacation, Amos decided it was time for his 'personal private vacation', our father was now ruling the underworld, and our lovable baboon friend Khufu was out of town on a business errand for Thoth. It was just us, alone. So, naturally, Sadie had decided to call up some people we knew--well, she knew--and invite them over for a party.
Before I knew it, people were just walking into our magical, supposedly nonexistent mansion. Those two friends of Sadie's from England, Bast, Horus, Isis, Hathor, Zia, and finally, that jackal headed freak Anubis.
"Sadie, is there a reason why you invited like fifty thousand gods?" I demanded in a hushed voice as she drunk a cup of punch.
"Lighten up, Carter," she said. "It's a party. People are here to enjoy themselves."
"But-"
"Oh, just shut up. Or would you rather me turn you into a lizard in front of Horus, Em and Liz, and everyone, including Zia?"
I'm pretty sure my face was blushing and dumbstruck. "You wouldn't."
"Oh, yes I would, Human Wikipedia. Now, get out there and dance with someone. Mingle, live a little, and stop wearing those old men clothes!"
I went rather reluctantly, muttering things about my clothing choice.
"Carter," a voice said. I looked up.
I was face to face with Horus.
"Uh, hey, Horus," I said. Horus smiled at me.
"Quite a party you have here, boy," he noted. "It would do you some good. Dance, drink, socialize. And be glad Bes isn't here."
"Bes?"
"God of music and dance, along with a multitude of other things. Part animal."
"Oh, right."
Horus sighed. "I miss the good old days, Carter. I really do. Me and you, side by side, battling Set and playing ding dong ditch on death's door."
Somewhere in the background, I thought I heard Anubis yell, "That was you?"
And that was the last we heard out of him before Sadie took him to the couch and started talking to him. About what, I don't know. Don't want to know.
Horus gestured to Zia, who was standing by the punch bowl. "Go get her, boy. But, remember, that's my aunt in there somewhere."
I hesitated. Horus sighed.
"Fine then, my featherless friend. You have forced my hand." He snapped his fingers.
And then everyone appeared around a table. An empty Coca-Cola bottle was on a table in the center.
"Spin the bottle truth or dare!" Isis squealed. "My son, you know me so well!"
That was a little disturbing.
"Carter, you're up first," Horus decided.
"Why me?" I demanded.
"'Cause I'm pharaoh, and people do what pharaoh say."
"Uh, okay, sure."
I took a deep breath. I put my hand on the bottle and gave it a good hard spin. Horus yawned.
Of course, the bottle pointed directly at . . . Zia?
Horus smiled. "I expected that to happen. Hmm . . . What to do, what to do? I know! Zia, Carter, I dare you two to kiss the other."
"Why?" both me and Zia yelled. If I wasn't furious at Horus, I might've blushed.
"Hello, pharaoh. I'm king. You do what I say."
I turned to Zia just as she turned to face me.
"Guess we have to, huh?" I said nervously. She nodded coldly.
I leaned in.
Zia POV
Oh my god, he was leaning in! I leaned in too.
Our lips met.
Carter POV
Our lips brushed against the other's.
And before I knew it, we were kissing.
Fourth of July fireworks skyrocketed to life in my head.
Zia POV
We were kissing and a million torches lit into existence in my head.
It was heavenly. I would be lying if I said I didn't feel anything.
Carter POV
We parted only when Horus cleared his throat.
"Well," he said, "that beats my record by five whole minutes. Eight minutes. How do you two do it?"
Before I could respond to that question, Horus waved his hand. "Never mind." He looked at where Anubis and my sister were sitting. "You two are next."

"See ya Mom" I waved to her as I started walking uphill to Camp Half-Blood.
"Bye Percy! Say hi to Annabeth and Grover for me, I love you!" She yelled back. I felt my face get hot at the thought of Annabeth... We only saw eachother a few times during the school year but now she's officially my girlfriend.
"Love you." I said back.
When I was halfway up the hill, I broke into a run, losing my patience with how stupidly far Camp was from the rest of the world. When I got to the top, still running, I collided into something so hard, I tumbled

Chivalry
When Mrs. Jackson walked downstairs to get herself a midnightwell, eleven o'clocksnack, she barely even glanced at the light coming out of the living room. (Being pregnant, and therefore constantly hungry, really diminishes one's perceptiveness.) It was only after she'd loaded a plate full of white rice, soy sauce, and maraschino cherries that she heard a soft voice coming from the other room.
Frowning, she shoved a bite of sweet and salty heaven in her mouth and padded into the living room. That was when she noticed the light; her son was sitting on the couch, talking on what had to be their house phone.
She decided t

"Yes Annabeth, Artemis has told me about your quest. You may go. Lucky for you, Hephaestus cabin has been working on a ship lately for high voyage!" He made a deep chuckle and pointed his hand to the beach, where a small sloop floated near the dock. How had I not seen that before?
