"My Dinner Goes up in Smoke,"

Offering to Gods I presume Hades asked

They nodded

Word of the bathroom incident spread immediately.

News spreads fast at camp I'm surprised if it didn't Piper said remembering her gossiping siblings

Wherever I went, campers pointed at me and murmured something about toilet water. Or maybe they were just staring at Annabeth, who was still pretty much dripping wet.

Annabeth huffed while some snickered

Poseidon grinned as he was glad his son was showing his abilities

She showed me a few more places: the metal shop (where kids were forging their own swords), the arts-and-crafts room (where satyrs were sandblasting a giant marble statue of a goat-man),

Hermes,Pan, and the Satyrs smiled

and the climbing wall, which actually consisted of two facing walls that shook violently, dropped boulders, sprayed lava, and clashed together if you didn't get to the top fast enough.

It's really fun especially the lava Leo exclaimed

U'll say that ur fireproof Piper said rolling her eyes

Finally we returned to the canoeing lake, where the trail led back to the cabins.

"I've got training to do," Annabeth said flatly. "Dinner's at seven-thirty. Just follow your cabin to the mess hall."

Annabeth, I'm sorry about the toilets."

"Whatever."

"It wasn't my fault."

It was ur fault kelp head Thalia said

Percy raised his hands in defense
I didn't know back then, and plus it was an accident he said

Yeah sure an accident she replied with sarcasm

Yeah an accident like the time u almost fried me for eating ur cheese burger he answered

Touche kelp head she said

She looked at me skeptically, and I realized it was my fault. I'd made water shoot out of the bathroom fixtures. I didn't understand how. But the toilets had responded to me. I had become one with the plumbing.

Most of the hall snickered some giggled

While Percy was red in the face

You need to talk to the Oracle," Annabeth said.

"Who?"

The Oracle of Delphi teller of prophecies of Phobeus Apollo, Apollo said in a sing song voice

"Not who. What. The Oracle. I'll ask Chiron."

What what do u mean by what Apollo asked

No one answered afraid to face Apollo's wrath

But wait I thought Rachel was the Oracle Jason asked

This was before me Rachel said

Wait ur the Oracle now, my look how gorgeous u look Apollo said

Thanks Lord Apollo she said

I stared into the lake, wishing somebody would give me a straight answer for once.
