Chapter 10
“Guess who I just dreamed about?”
“If we had the same dream I think I already know.”
“McDonalds?”
“McDonalds.”
“What the actual hell are you two talking about?” The twins turned to look at the rest of the people around them, all visibly confused, and smirked.
“We just had a dream about our dear baby cousin Nico.”
“Nico's my favourite cousin.”
“Right? He's very cute.”
“Very determined.”
“Very Emo.”
“What the fuck are you going on about? And quit it with the creepy twin talk.”
“Our Dear baby cousin Nico is trying to resurrect our other lovely cousin Bianca.”
“With McDonalds. It's honestly so cute.”
“I always did like the Di Angelo's more than Grace.”
“Grace is a bitch.”
“Our bitch, but still a bitch.”
“...”
“I honestly thought that Thalia might jump out if the shadows and attack you.”
“Shush Annabeth. Thalia would never do that.”
“Yeah! Thalia loves us. We're here favourite cousins.”
“Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. First of all, I highly doubt that statement just know is true based off of Annabeths reaction. Second of all, did you guys just brush over the fact that your 11 year old cousin who is the Son of Hades is trying to summon his sisters soul with offerings of McDonalds?”
“I mean… kinda? Also, why do you sound so upset bout the fact that it's McDonalds?”
“I just - is that really going to work?” Percy Just Shrugged while Harry raised a single, unimpressed eyebrow.
“I mean, it is so far? The only issue he seems to be having is that it isn't Bianca that's being summoned. I guess she doesn't like McDonalds?”
Rachel stared at them in complete disbelief.
“What the Fuck. That's your reaction?”
“It gets better the longer you spend time with them.”
“Really!?”
“No. You just grow Numb.”
“Shit.”
“Yeah.”

“So. What have you two learnt.”
“That we shouldn't use our Earthquake powers.”
“And that is because?”
“We will create an Earthquake.”
“And?”
“And that Earthquake will make a Volcano Errupt.”
“And?”
“And that Volcano might be next to a city.”
“And?”
“And that Erruption might destroy the homes and livelihoods of thousands.”
“And?”
“And maybe kill a few people.”
“A few?”
“And maybe kill a few hundred people.”
“And?”
“And the Volcano might be home to a super dangerous monster.”
“And?”
“And that super dangerous monster might be so dangerous that the gods have a lot of difficulty killing it.”
“And?”
“And that might lose us the war.”
“And?”
“And that risks the destruction of the world.”
“And?”
“And that's bad because everyone dies.”
“And?”
“And… the explosion might shoot us out to this random Island in the middle of nowhere?”
“And?”
“And we night not be able to get home”
“And?”
“And we might be presumed missing because of it.”
“And?”
“And we might be presumed dead after a few days because we went missing in an explosion.”
“And?”
“And that will lead to us having a funeral.”
“And?”
“And…?”
“...”
“And we're sorry?”
“...”
“Was that not the right thing to say?”
“I don't know, why are you asking me!?”
“Because you're the older one!?”
“Since when was I the older one? I thought you were the older one!?”
“YOU IDIOTS!”
“We're Sorry!”
“We already said that you fucking moron!”
“Yeah, well it can't hurt to say it again!”
“WE WERE ALL SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU TWO AND THE FIRST THING YOU GUYS DO AFTER COMING BACK IS JOKE AROUND!!”
“Eeep.”
“The hell was that?”
“I'm sorry that I find Annie scary.”
“No, I get that. By why that noise?”
“STOP JOKING AROUND!”
“Yes ma'am.”
“I JUST - I, I, I was so worried.” There was a wail then, before both Harry and Percy panicked.
“What the hell do we do?”
“I don't know!?”
“You're the one that always makes girls cry!”
“I am not! You do so just as often!”
“You fucking morons! I can't believe your back and you guys are just continuing to argue, I - ” There was a sniffle before she continued.
“I'm just really glad you guys are back. I missed my brothers.”
“...We missed our sister as well.”
“Hug?”
“Yeah.”
…
“Sooo… Have Selena and Beckndorf got together yet?”
“Oh! Yes! I must know!”
“I?”
“We must know!”
“You guys are such fucking idiots.
…
…No.”
“You're Joking!?”
“Seriously!?”
“Yes! It’s ridiculous right!?”
“I - Yeah!? I was so sure they were going to get together by now!”
“So was I. I’m glad I decided to not put money on it.”
“You didn't?”
“Nah. I figured I'd save it for driving Ron crazy.”
“That's a good idea.”
“You guys really need to introduce me to your school friends.”

"Guys. Meet Rachel Elizabeth Dare. A clear sighted mortal who is going to help is."
"Just call me Red."
"Red…?" Half of them stared at her like she had grown a second head.
"Yep. Red. Anyways, good to know I'm not completely bonkers. Or the only one in celebrity circles to be involved in this shit."
"Oh, no, not at all. I mean, quite a few kids from the Apollo cabin have celebrity parents. I'm pretty sure Clarisse's Mother is pretty famous as well. And Thalia mum used to be a famous actress, she's still pretty influential despite… everything. Also I'm pretty sure Tristan McLean's daughter is a Demigod as well. It's pretty hard to 'convince' people to give you the things they do for her."
“I love Piper. She's my best friend.”
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You’re a celebrity!?"
"What's a celebrity?"
"Oh my gods. We are so fucked. Aren't we supposed to be in the labyrinth right now?”
“Oh yeah... Your right. Let's go.”
“Wait, what did Tristan Mclean's daughter convince people to do?”
“Someone gave her a BMW for free because she asked.”
“Huh. That's impressive.”
“Right?”
“Let's goOoOoo. We have places to be people. Walk and Talk.”
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
“Holy fucking shit. I can't believe you just did that!”
“Red, you are officially That Bitch. You are my role model. I look up to you. I aspire to be you.”
“Haha… aren't you guys being a little dramatic?”
“No. That was the greatest thing I have ever seen. I can't believe you thwacked that Daddy Issues cunt in the eye with a fucking Plastic hair brush.”
“Is there any way we can repay you for this amazing act?”
“It would be a privilege to do so.”
“Unless you two can get my bitchass dad to fuck off, not really.”
“That we can do.”
“...wait, seriously?”
“Yeah? Have you not noticed the way that your dad, like, straight up idolized our Uncle?”
“Honestly it would be really easy. We probably should have done it earlier actually. Is there nothing else we can do?”
“No…, no. That was the only thing that I really needed.”
“Huh. Well, freedom from parents coming up for RED.”
“Seriously though, that was amazing.”
“Geniuinly the best thing anyone has done since the beginning of existence.”
“...thanks?”
“Also, what brand is that hair brush?”
“Why?”
“We need to promote it so everyone will carry around them and traumatise luke”
“Specifcally the blue ones”
“Yes.”
“What the Fuck?”
