"Oh if I wasn't marrying your son you would be dead by now." Thalia said. "If you weren't my half brother, I would kill you right now."

"Dad." Luke said. "No. Just, no. Don't. Don't you dare. Don't you ever. Never again. Not to Chris. Not to the Stolls. Never bring this topic up. NEVER."

Hermes just chuckled lightly before opening the door.

"I'm kidding. Who am I to say what you should do?" Hermes said.

"Exactly." Luke said gritting his teeth.

"Come on. You're going to be late for your electives." Hermes said, kicking the six demigods out.

"It's lunch first." Piper said. "We have a tent outside. Care to join?"

"Yeah. Sure." Hermes said.

"Is Chiron joining?" Jason asked.

"We invited him. Right?" Percy said, and the question was answered when he was Mr. Brunner's wheelchair outside of the tent.

The tent looked different from yesterday. The tables were all to the side, with cushions, bean bags, and couches strategically placed so everyone can take a seat.

"Hey dad." Chris said casually.

"Travis. Come on!" Hermes groaned.

"Let it go dad." Connor said. "He's not stopping anytime soon."

"Seven minutes, was it?" Bianca asked.

"Seven minutes in heaven? In the middle of lunch?" Hermes said, and both Connor and Bianca shrugged.

"Traumatizing isn't it?" Clarisse said and everyone laughed.

"Very." Hermes said.

"Would you like to go to Camp and see what I deal with on a daily basis?" Chiron said, as Percy and Annabeth was the first to blush bright red.

"Anyway." Annabeth said, sitting down on one of the love seats. "What electives are you guys taking?"

"Wood shop." Beckendorf said.

"Duh." Leo said.

"AP Music Theory." Thomas said. "If they suck, I'll be the teacher."

"Mr. Clark. I like the sound of that." Sophie said.

"I like the sound of Sophie Clark." Thomas said.

"You are so kidding me." Hermes said. "You did not just propose to her."

"I'm kidding!" Thomas said.

Chiron sighed and shook his head.

"I thought I was going to win another 150." Travis said.

"FINALLY." Nico said. "Are you done with seven minutes?"

"Actually. It was a good ten." Bianca said.

"But we let them get a little bit further." Connor said.

"What else is everyone taking?" Alex asked.

"Archi-" Annabeth said.

"-tecture. Of course. What else CAN you take?" Percy said.

"I think I'll take that too." Sophie said.

"They have a very large variety in language arts." Piper said.

"Taking French." Silena said. "Easy A."

"Italian." The DiAngelos jinxed. "Easy A."

"I think I'll take Home-Ec." Calypso said.

"AP Chemistry." Reyna said, and everyone's head snaps her direction.
