Disclaimer: I do not own the Percy Jackson series and its characters, credits to the one and only Rick Riordan. I also do not own the ever funny/inspirational puns that I'm going to use in this chapter.

WARNING: VERY CORNY CHAPTER AHEAD

"Oh deer!!!"Katie shouted. (A/N: supposed to be 'Oh dear' it's a pun. I know I'm corny -__-)

The so-called ferocious creature was just a deer, an ordinary deer nothing much. And no it has nothing to do with Artemis.

"Woah was that a pun? Good one by the way". Travis said while holding his laugh but obviously he can't so he laughed really, really loud.Katie couldn't help but laugh too.

"That was very punny Katie!! Hahahaha see what I did there?" Travis said between laughs.

"I know!! I'm puntastic!!!" . Katie added with a giggle.

"And I just can't help thinking the fact that our surnames are puns too!!! You know Stoll the past tense of steal my dad being the god of thieves, just take the E and replace it with L and voila! What do we get? My surname Stoll!!! Hahahaha and you're mother Demeter the goddess of agriculture and your surname has something to do with it...gardener!!! Get it? Just take the E!! But in Miranda's case replace it with an I !!hahahaha"he said while holding his stomach because it already hurts from laughing.

"So are you done now?? That was a very long speech Stoll .As if I never knew that". Katie said and by the way, note the sarcasm.

"Ok sheesh calm down throw the sarcasm away right now all you need is a good pun". Travis cleared his throat." Listen to maestro".

'Corny'. Katie thought while mentally rolling her eyes.(Is that possible?)

"Okay here it goes... You're living, you occupy space, and you have mass. You know what that means?"Travis asked.

"What?"

"You matter"

"Wow, that is the most inspirational pun ever".Katie was stunned it was truly amazing." Okay I have another one. Where did Noah place the bees in the ark?"

"Where?"

"In the arkhives!!!". (Supposed to be archive) Well yeah another pun. A corny one like others think but they laughed so hard until they're stomach ached so they have to stop. Maybe an angel passed because there was an awkward silence.

*Insert cricket noise *

"Nice dagger". Travis decided to break the silence. FINALLY

"Thanks, it's from my dad actually". Katie answered.

"What's its story?"

"It's called Petrichor, you know the nice smell when the rain pours in the dry soil. People often ask why I called my dagger like that well I just think it's a nice way to remember my home and my dad and this is actually the reason why my mom and dad met".

Katie couldn't help but notice that Travis was listening to her attentively which made her somehow smile. On the other hand, Travis is happy that he and Katie could spend a time together knowing more about each other's lives.

"My dad is an archeologist. He was part of an excavation team on Greece well there he found some relics which belongs to Demeter's ritual or sacrificial stuffs. And one of those stuffs was this dagger, made of celestial bronze by the way. My dad was about to give it to the National Museum and maybe that caught Demeter's attention so yeah they met. My dad knows she's a goddess, and please don't ask why because I don't really know. Then they dated and BAM! I was born. Demeter asked my dad to keep the dagger and give it to me when the time that I will find out that I'm a demigod comes. "

Wow was the only word Travis could say but he wasn't surprised about the 'parent Aknows parent B is a god/goddess' situation.

"I thought your dad is a gardener".

"Really Travis?Really? You know you're the 51st person who asked that question. And yes I've been counting them ever since". Katie was definitely annoyed a lot of people ask her that question. So she hit Travis' arm.

"Ouch!!". He said while touching his arm."I'm sorry okay? I was just curious,geez, anyway care to hear my story too?" Katie nodded and so Travis told her about how his dad met his mother.

Katie found out that Hermes annually scouts different post offices and other stuffs that have something to do in his godly field. Travis' mom is actually a CEO on one of the leading mail and post delivers in the world. 'rich kid'. Katie thought. So Hermes bumped into Travis' mom one day and they had a chit-chat then fell inlove with each other and you know what happens next.

Well after telling the cheesy love stories of their parents they decided to play 20 questions but since it's been overused by a lot of campers they changed it to ask non-stop questions, a corny name for a corny game if you ask me (-_-)where each player is allowed to ask a question that both of them will answer and so on until they think they've had enough.
