The Eighth Day
On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, eight maids a milking, seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Everybody in camp was gathering together at the camp fire for a Christmas sing along.
They all had to wear tacky Christmas sweaters.
Tonight the fire was blazing gold because everyone was in high spirits.
The Apollo campers were setting up their instruments: guitars, drums, flutes, clarinets, trumpets, tubas, trombones, etc.
Then the campers showed up everyone was wearing a sweater, some interlaced with Christmas lights, some just plain tacky, and some not even tacky.
Everybody came and sat down, Percy next to Annabeth, Piper cuddled up to Jason, and Leo sitting alone.
Then a girl came up to him with a white sweater interlaced with gold Christmas lights.
Campers passed out mugs of steaming hot chocolate and Christmas marshmallows to roast in the fire.
Everybody was starting to sing the first song, a traditional, the one about grandma putting on her armor.
But before they even got through the first verse, a certain thing popped up.
"Yo! Hey people! I heard you were having a singalong so I thought I'd come and sing for you to show you my awesome singing and poetry skills. Here's a haiku-
I am Apollo
I'm the awesomest sun god
I love singing
So there-"
"You didn't say the haiku right, dad. The syllables are supposed to be 5,7,5."
"Will? How could you embarrass me like this!"
"...Dad...you were the one who messed up on the haiku."
"Hmph. Well then, let's get to it shall we?"
"Get to what?"
"This! Singing your know?"
He cleared his throat.
Everyone covered their ears.
"On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... Oh come on!"
"Er sorry dad... we just thought your singing would be too... beautiful for us to bear."
"Oh my! Thanks yo!"
"Yeah... no problem."
"So let's continue shall we?"
Everyone sang. There was even karaoke and solos.
Also Mr. D came over.
"What is this dreadful screeching."
"D!"
"Oh. That. I will be going back now."
"Wait D! Don't go stay and sing!"
"No thanks, all you have fun now."
Then everyone kept singing, and was about to call it a night, but then there was a cloud of pink.
"Hello darlings! The goddess Aphrodite is here now to bestow gifts upon all of you!"
Everyone groaned, except Aphrodites children, excluding Piper.
"Mademoiselle Aphrodite, it's been a while since I've seen you!"
Apollo swooped down and grabbed Aphrodites hand and kissed it.
"You too, Apollo."she giggled.
Are goddesses supposed to giggle?
"Anyway, everyone, I will give you actual NICE looking sweaters. These are all out of style and SO TACKY."
That was sorta the point...
She pointed at people and their sweaters actually became stylish.
Except poor Piper, who got a hot pink one.
Also, the couples got matching sweaters, so Jason's was pink too.
Percabeths was blue, Caleos red, and Tratie green.
Everyone at that point had gone back to their cabins, except a few who were brave enough to face the annoying gods.
Those brave few danced and sang the rest of the night.
AN Okay, so I know that was crappy, but I haven't been on here for a couple of weeks, writing wise. I've been caught up watching a new anime, Akame Ga Kill. TOTALLY AWESOME. And I love one of their opening songs, LIAR MASK. You should search it if your into like guitar/drums stuff. GO TATSUMI I LOVE YOU <3
Sorry to people who have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.
Anyways, it's almost Valentines and this is about Christmas. Crazy right? I'll eventually finish. THANKS FOR READING
Yours in demigodishness, and all that. Peace out.
