(Ariana Finley opens her eyes)
(Ariana Finley looks around herself and sees that she is in the old Athena Parthenos' shrine in Rome)
???:(voice)You know why you are here, child.
(Ariana Finley turns)
(Ariana Finley sees Athena, Goddess of Wisdom seeing the Athena Parthenos)
Athena, Goddess of Wisdom:(turning to Ariana)Did you really through you could put such a reckless endangerment act without me noticing it?
Ariana Finley: I know my choice what I did was not of your approval, but I was just doing exactly what the prophecy said.
Athena: You have let your heart overrule your own mind and so you have doomed your father to death.
Ariana: He would have been already dead when he came to his rescue, but he kept fighting by himself. Just so he could see me and my twin brother again. That shows dad has a stronger will that you could possibly imagine. He even swore on the River Styx to erase his memories if it got up too much on him.
Athena: Do you actually think that is enough for me to convince me of your failure in such a simple task?
Ariana: No...but I do not regret my decision I have made. Dad may not be able to fully understand the world of the Olympians, but he truly wants to give it a try at least, even if dad decides to forget everything in the end, at least I know that he did his best and that is enough.
Athena: His best is not gonna be enough, Ariana.
Ariana: For me and Aaron it is...And with all due respect, for a smart goddess, you do not know nothing about dad as we do!
Athena: ...Then you are truly on your own...
(Athena teleports away and leaves)
(3 days later)
(In Motauk, Long Island, New York)
(In Camp Half-Blood)
(In Cabin #6-Athena)
(Ariana and Aaron Finley are sleeping in their beds)
(Ariana and Aaron Finley get hit by a pillow in their faces)
(Ariana and Aaron Finley wake up in their beds)
Bailey Mitchell: Quit lazing around! Children of Uncle Tom! You are going to make us late for breakfast! Which means you will get to clean the entire cabin for inspection!
(Ariana and Aaron Finley look at each other)
Ariana and Aaron Finley:(smiling)...No
Bailey:(angry)No?!Now listen here! You...!
(Ariana and Aaron Finley take out their spears)
(Ariana and Aaron Finley point at Bailey with their spears)
(The other children of Athena see this and gasp)
Bailey:(shocked)What do you Watermelon Twins think you are doing?!
Ariana Finley:(pointing at Bailey with her spear)We are challenging you! Of course!
Aaron Finley:(pointing at Bailey with his spear) Which means you not get to boss around anymore!
Ariana:(pointing at Bailey with her spear)What about this afternoon in the arena?
Aaron:(pointing at Bailey with his spear)We will let you choose the weapons of choice!
Bailey: (shocked)What makes you think you can do that?!
Ariana:(pointing at Bailey with her spear)You know the rules as much as we do, Bailey.
Aaron:(pointing at Bailey with his spear)If a younger camper has completed more quests, then we can challenge the head counselor to a duel and show that we can do a better job as counselors than you.
Bailey:(laughing)We? You cannot share the tittle of head counselor!
Anastasia: The rules don't say anything against campers teaming up to beat you.
Nevaeh Devuono, Eugene Chaplin, Danny Bentacourt and Hadrian Abott: Oooooooooh!
Ariana:(pointing at Bailey with her spear)If you don't want to wait until noon, now is fine.
Aaron:(pointing at Bailey with his spear)Athena is not about being smarter and wiser than everyone! Is about being smart in a unique way and sharing wisdom with everyone! You are neither!
(Bailey tries to walk away, but Anastasia, Nevaeh Devuono, Eugene Chaplin, Danny Bentacourt, Hadrian Abott and all the other children of Athena surround her)
(Anastasia, Nevaeh Devuono, Eugene Chaplin, Danny Bentacourt, Hadrian Abott and all the other children of Athena point their weapons at Bailey)
Ariana: Is over, Bailey. We are no long afraid.
Bailey: I...I step down...but if you think i'll forget this...!
Aaron: For your sake, you better don't. Now be a nice white girl and tell Chiron why we're late for breakfast!
(Bailey storms out of Cabin #6-Athena and leaves)
Ariana:(holding her spear)So...?Who wants to do Cabin Inspection together?
(All children of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom cheer)
Aaron:What do you think dad did with Medusa's head?
Ariana:🤷🏾♀️
(Meanwhile)
(In Richmond, Virginia)
(In Olivia Yardley's office)
Olivia Yardley:(on the phone/holding a package)And so I said "What do you know about science? A Psychology Doctorate doesn't count as science".
(Olivia opens the package and is revealed to contain Medusa's head)
Olivia:(looking at Medusa's head)What the...?
(Olivia gets turned into stone)
(Back in Camp Half-Blood)
(In the divine cabins)
(Nevaeh Devuonoh, Ariana and Aaron walk outside of Cabin #6-Athena)
Nevaeh Devuonoh:(walking)I really wish there was a way to make you stay
