                                                                                  Percy's pov.

Percy was stunned. Had this just happened? Had he just kissed Nico? And had he really enjoyed it? Percy's brain felt fuzzy. "Percy?" Annabeth asked. She looked worried. "Huh?" Was everything he could say. "Nico asked you!" "Wha...? Oh, right, uh dare." He replied. "Hmmm..." Nico looked like he was really thinking this through. What had Percy EVER done to Nico? Percy asked himself miserably. "I dare you to smack a goddess on her rear end." What?! This must be a joke Percy thought. Nico seemed to read his thoughts. "It's not a joke. I'm serious!" Jason cracked a smile. Percy glared daggers at him. "Ok but how would I even do it? And which goddess?" Percy had a million questions he wanted to ask. Was Nico crazy? Why did it have to be him? How could he do it? Stop it! He chided himself. You're only making it worse! Percy forced himself to focus on Nico who seemed to be thinking about Percy's question. "We will vote for which goddess you have to hit." Percy's heart sank. He was officially doomed. "Right, so you will all have one vote." Nico said and added, "That doesn't include you Percy. You can all stand up and when you have voted sit down. Let's begin! Who votes for...Demeter?" Calypso and Frank sat down. Nico wrote it on a piece of paper. "Aphrodite?" Nico asked. Silence. Di Imortales! Percy had hoped that at least someone would vote for her. She wouldn't get so mad. She'd just compliment herself for being so attractive. "Athena." Nico continued. The name alone sent a shiver down his spine. Annabeth, Hazel and Piper sat down. "Hera?" Will, Jason and Reyna sat down. "Artemis." Leo, Thalia and Katie sat down. "Hestia?" Nico asked. Connor and Travis sat down. "Alright." Nico looked down at the results.

Demeter: Calypso, Frank

Aphrodite: Nobody

Athena: Annabeth, Piper, Hazel

Hera: Jason, Will, Reyna

Artemis: Thalia, Leo, Katie

Hestia: Connor, Travis

"It's a tie between Artemis, Hera and Athena." Nico said. Percy couldn't breathe. How, How? No, that wasn't the real question. The real question was why. Why did it have to be me? Percy asked himself. "So how will we choose?" Katie asked. "We could spin the bottle..." Nico started to say. "Yeah that's a great idea!" Travis shot to his feet. He seemed a little TOO eager for Percy's taste. Travis trudged over to the fountain and found a bottle. "Alright." Nico started to say. "Annabeth can resemble Athena, Thalia can resemble Artemis and... Jason, you can resemble Hera!" Why do I have to resemble old Mrs. Peacock poop?!" Jason complained loudly. "Is that what you call her?!" Annabeth tried to hide her laugh. She didn't succeed. "I love that!" Connor said. "It's so Hilarious!" Leo said and laughed. Pretty soon everyone had tears in their eyes. Even Percy despite the horrible situation he was in. Nothing can lighten your mood like insulting random goddesses. "Old Mrs. Peacock poop, how did you come up with that?!" Reyna asked, clutching her stomach. "I don't know I just..." Jason was interrupted by an angry voice. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING OLD?!" A powerful voice bellowed. All laughter died. Percy swore to the gods that you could have dropped a feather in the cabin and everyone would have heard it. "Uhhh..." Jason tried to say something. "I CAN NOT BELIVE...NO, NEVER MIND! YOU ARE ALL JUST TYPICAL DEMIGODS. YOU DON'T APPRECIATE GREEK STYLE DRESSES AND ALL THE TIME I USE TO MAKE MYSELF...." Her voice died. "Why am I yelling at you? You're all so precious!" Hera said in a much milder voice. Percy looked around in confusion. He saw Hazel looking really concentrated. Random jewels popped up around her. Her forehead trickled with sweat. Was she working the mist somehow? She must have, Hera would never call them precious otherwise...Percy didn't get to finish the thought because Nico popped up right behind him. "This is your chance!" He said. "What do you mean?" Percy asked. He figured he looked like a huge Question mark. "To complete the dare!" It dawned on Percy what Nico meant. It sent chills down his back. "Do It!" Nico urged him. Percy got up, his legs were shaking. He walked up behind Hera. In that moment Hera seemed to get to her old, horrible, angry self. Typical. Percy thought. He gained courage and shouted: "HEY BABE! HOW'S IT GOIN'?" And then he smacked her. "Hera turned around and sneered. "Why you miserable little..." She was cut off by a voice in her ear. She whispered something and then turned back to the demigods. "Sadly, I will have to delay turning you into flowers or peacocks since Zeus has decided to have ANOTHER affair. "WHAT?!" Jason and Thalia said unison. "Yes, yes you might need to make some room in the Zeus cabin cause you might get a new sibling...If I do not stop it first! She was starting to glow.  "But beware...THIS IS NOT OVER!" Then the queen of olympus erupted in flames and disappeared. "

After Hera had gone everyone stared paralyzed out in the air. "What just happened...?" Thalia asked. "I think we can now add Hera too the list of gods that hate us." Percy said and then they all started laughing. "That was the BEST DARE EVER!!!" Travis Stoll said. "Dunno about that." Percy said. " I should think I got a better one up my sleeve..."  "We'll have to see about that!" Annabeth said and kissed him. It felt good to have done the dare. On the bright side not ALL the gods hated him. He still had Demeter on team Percy!
