"Hey Travis, check this out!" Chloe Gallagher said to her half brother one day.

"Yeah?" Travis asked, putting down his snack.

"The gods are having a party at Hestia's place up North."

"So?"

"Well you don't see an Olympian party every day. It'd make a great HephaestusTV episode. Our ratings went down since Frank bored everyone to death and we gotta make up for it ASAP, so what better way to do it than crash a godly party?"

"You hacked the gods' private chat?"

"I didn't hack it, I just stole some codes from the Athena cabin," Chloe held up a notebook full of computer coding.

"So what do we do now?" Travis asked.

Chloe smiled and said,"Mr. D will be gone in a few hours. Get the HTV crew and any campers who wanna help and meet at the dining pavilion at 7:00."

"Got it," Travis said,"Anything else?"

"Just leave the rest to me."

Travis left the cabin and Chloe looked at the clock. It was 3:00; she had 4 hours to come up with her master plan. She knew it was a hard task to crash a gods' party and not get killed. It wasn't the same as barging into the Aphrodite cabin and pretending to be papparazzi. Chloe turned back to her computer and scrolled through the gods' messages. Luckily, they also used Olympus Chat, a website that doesn't alert monsters. Well, the new computers themselves don't attract monsters anyways. She typed in another code to watch the messages in present time and took notes on a peice of paper.

"This is good," Chloe said to herself,"Apollo's taking care of the music...Dad's delivering invites..."

Chloe then typed in some more coding and hacked Athena's email. She found the inbox, where the first email was Hestia's address: a cabin in Alaska. Chloe scribbled the address on both the paper and her hand as she opened a new tab and searched for it on Google Maps and printed the directions out. The next thing in Athena's inbox was the official invitations from Hermes. Chloe printed out the time, date and the party information.

"What's this?" Chloe asked herself.

She clicked on the list of emails Hermes sent the invitation to and Hestia wasn't there. Then, she found another thread between Athena and the other gods. Everything fell into place: Why Hestia didn't get invited, why Mr. D. is leaving in a few hours, why the gods were going through all the trouble for a party. Excited, Chloe typed a page of instructions and drew a plan on a huge peice of paper. Everything was going to be perfect.

~ Athena ~

Athena felt like the worst friend ever. It was a week before Hestia's 10,000th birthday and the poor girl hasn't celebrated in 300 years. That was all about to change. Athena Iris Messaged all the gods and goddesses except Hestia to meet by the River Styx at noon for a master plan.

"Hello Athena," Hades was the first to show up, considering where he lived.

A few moments later the other gods and goddesses arrived, wondering what Athena called then for.

"Alright," Athena called everyone's attention,"Now we all know Hestia's 10,000th birthday is coming soon and she hasn't had a party in centuries. I want to throw her the biggest and best surprise party in history. Who's with me?"

Everyone agreed.

"Good. Now, Hestia thinks it's just a little get together at her cabin, so she doesn't anticipate a surprise," Athena stated,"we need to keep her out of the house for at least 8 hours."
