Percy had to use the water to wash the bubblegum stains off everyone, especially Nico, who demanded he would never wear a pink tie-dyed jacket. Finally all the stains were washed off, though everyone was dripping wet except for the son of Poseidon himself.

"There! Calypso, it's not over yet." Will warned Calypso, who was trying to sneak away. "Percy, you feed her."

"Okay!" Percy cheerfully fed Calypso a spoonful of whatever he had in his spoon. Calypso choked.

"Ew!" she cried. "Not as bad as Nico's Underworld stuff, but that is still bad! Percy, what was that?"

"It's raw seaweed and strawberry jam." Percy laughed. "I love making new disgusting combos."

Next up were Piper and Jason. They had teamed up and mixed their combinations together. They had made a murky brown liquid.

"That's---that's not legal!" Calypso said. 

"Yes it is." Will said. "Drink it!"

"You'll get a pleasant surprise." Piper whispered to Calypso. "Trust me, this is good stuff."

Calypso nervously drank a sip. Then her eyes widened.

"This is delicious!" she exclaimed. "It's chocolate milk, right?"

Jason grinned. "Yep! It may look bad, but it's tasty!" He took a sip himself.

"Aw come on guys," Will sighed, "you have to try harder than that! Make something horrible!"

"I've got something horrible." Rachel said. "Wanna try it, Calypso?"

Calypso yelled, "No!" At the same time Will yelled, "Yes!"

Will grabbed Rachel's spoon and shoved it into Calypso's mouth. She gasped and threw up into her bowl again.

"I hate space food..." she managed to say.

Rachel had a smug smile on her face. "Percy told me about the time he fought the Nemean Lion. Space food helped him win it."

Then Thalia gave her spoon to Calypso.

The spoon was full of silvery liquid. It doesn't look too bad, Calypso thought and drank it.

It didn't look bad, but it tasted terrible and made poor Calypso want to throw up again.

She managed to hold it in, and choked out, "Thalia, what is that silver liquid? It's not poison, is it?"

Thalia laughed. "Of course not! Before, when I was still a Hunter..." her voice trailed off, then she shook her head and continued. "Lady Artemis used to feed these to prey to tame them, that's how the deer pulling her chariot are so obedient."

"YOU FED ME STUFF FOR DEER?" Now Calypso was really mad. "I am not a deer."

"We know you aren't." Nico muttered under his breath.

Reyna stepped forward after that. "Here, Calypso." 

Sighing, Calypso reluctantly ate the food in Reyna's spoon.

Then she gagged. "What the-"

"Rotten eggs and vinegar!" Reyna said with a smile. "Perfect."

Calypso was regretting that she had chosen a dare.

The final candidate went to Calypso. It was Leo.

"Leonidas Valdez, if you try anything on me..." Calypso warned.

Leo gave a cheeky grin. "I want to end this with a bang, Cally. Literally."

He gave his girlfriend his spoon, with a banana on it.

As soon as she put it in her mouth, the banana shrieked and jumped out. Calypso noticed there was a faint tick tock tick tock coming from it.

"Leo," Calypso said nervously, "what did you do?"

"Oh, just a little---"

The banana exploded. BOOM!

"---explosion." Leo finished.

The Poseidon cabin went up in flames.

"Like the last time Leo set it on fire." Annabeth muttered.

AN: Unexpected, huh? Sorry it's a little short.

Bye guys!
