"Athena, truth or dare?"

Athena held a big thought. What is this god trying to do?

"I choose dare," she spoke.

"Ooh, are you playing truth or dare?" Asked an enthusiastic voice, which proved to be Aphrodite, with Hephaestus standing next to her.

"Aphrodite with Hephaestus?" Asked an incredulous Hera as both entered the throne room together.

"Ares was too busy for our date," Aphrodite shrugged, frowning. "So I took my husband instead. Anyway, are you playing truth or dare?" She asked enthusiastically.

"We weren't actually playing-" Athena tried to reply but Apollo interupted her.

"Yeah! And Athena chose dare!" 

The wisdom goddess glared at him.

"Anyway," Apollo continued as Aphrodite and Hephaestus took their seats, "I dare Athena to go to Camp Half Blood in a cheerleading costume, go to the mess hall, and cheer for Percabeth!"

"What?" The color had drained from Athena's eyes. She hated Percabeth, more specifically Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. Annabeth, her daughter,  was the one who fell in love with the boy, and thus became together after the Second Titan War. It was Aphrodite who thought of making the said ship name.

"Oh, I wish I had the dare!" Squealed the love goddess. "I'd like to cheer for one of my otp's!"

"O...tp's?" Wonders Hephaestus.

"One true paring," his wife answered. The blacksmith god had been outdated for quite a while.

"Sorry Aphrodite, but you can't. I dared Athena, and she has to do it alone." Apollo told her, making Aphrodite pout. "Well," The goddess switched her expression. "I'll give you the costume!" She twitched her fingers and suddenly Athena's clothing was replaced by an orange camp half blood cheerleading outfit with pom poms on her hands. She groaned before she gently placed the laptop on her throne and travelled to Camp Half Blood.

  

It was lunchtime at camp half blood. It was a rather hot day as the sun shone so bright (Most likely Apollo's doing) like most lunches.

The campers eating in the mess hall were surprised when Athena arrived in a cheerleading suit. Her children's jaws dropped to the floor in incredulity.

"Mother?" Exclaimed one of her children, Malcolm. The Hermes and Ares cabin did their best to stifle a laugh.

Athena took a deep breath and walked in the center of the hall.

"Lady Athena," Chiron the centaur greeted as he noticed her. "To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?"

The goddess replied in an Aphrodite-ish voice.

"Um...I'm here to cheer for my fave OTP!" She said awkwardly, avoiding to look at her children in their respective table. She internally hoped her children would not think of her in the wrong way.

The campers looked at each other, weirded out by the scene. Most of them were trying not to laugh.

Athena took a deep breath once again and tried her best to cheer.

"Give me a P-E-R-C-A-B-E-T-H!!! Go....Percabeth! Oh yeah!"

A slightly shocked Annabeth sitting with her siblings fixated her eyes on Percy, who flabbergastedly froze in his own table. Chiron was speechless, and the others laughed and wolf whistled. Athena continued cheering.

"Ohhhhh yeah! Go Percabeth, it's Percabeth, yeah Percabeth!" And then she suddenly disappeared without consent. There was a pause of hesitation before a surge of laughter echoed from the campers, except for Percy and Annabeth, whose faces were pale.

All the other campers chanted the cheer, "PERCABETH! PERCABETH!"


In Olympus everyone roared in laughter.

"I could not believe what was happening," Poseidon put on a scarred reaction.

Athena snapped, and the cheerleading suit was replaced by her earlier clothing, which was a long-sleeved blouse and slacks. "I really don't like you, Apollo." 

The sun god winked at her. "Well, Athena?" he asks. "Your turn."

The goddess scanned the room and made a satisfying smile.

"Poseidon, truth or dare?"

"Dare!" Poseidon replied. "I don't fear a cheerleader-"

"Go to Percy's cabin and sing 'Under the Sea' while wearing a Hawaiian grass skirt."

"Fine!"

Poseidon then disappeared.

Percy sat on his bunk in Cabin 3. The scene with Athena disturbed him so much it made his stomach churn. If he was going to witness another scene like that, then he wouldn't really be able to sleep at night.

Suddenly, someone suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Dad?" Asks Percy. Only then did he notice his father's clothing. His eyes almost popped out.

"Under the sea..." Poseidon began to sing. Percy dropped his jaw. His father's voice was horrible. He felt like his heart stopped beating throughout the song. As his father disappeared only did then Percy gasped for air.


"That would scar the life of Percy," Artemis frowned.

Apollo gasped. "You care for him?!"

"Not that I care!" she immediately protested. "You go on, Poseidon."

Poseidon looked at the others and began to think.

"Hephaestus, truth or dare?"

The fire god had to think of it.

"Dare." he replied.

"Pretend you're a genie and grant some random demigod a wish!"

"Well, that's not bad," Hephaestus shrugged and disappeared.


Hephaestus arrived at Camp Half Blood in a genie lamp, waiting for some demigod to pick it up.

"What's this?" He heard someone speak. His own son, Leo Valdez.

As soon as he felt Leo touch the genie lamp, Hephaestus got out of the lamp. He made himself unrecognizable, as he wore a genie outfit like that of that Disney movie he'd always forget and misspell.

"I am the genie of um...awesomeness!" He boomed. "Your wish is my command!"

"Dad?" Leo blinked. "What are you-"

"What is your wish, scrawny child?" His dad cut him off.

"Scrawny?!" Leo protested. "You're talking to the one and only Leo Flamin' Valdez-"

"Tell me your wish." An irritated Hephaestus said.

"Kay, um...I want ten more wishes!"

"No."

"Fine. I WANT A PONY!"

"Um...okay." Hephaestus disappeared the second after a pony fell on top of Leo.
