"GREEK GOD OF DISAPPOINTMENT?"
June, Luke, Percy, and this other guy Chris were all sitting down for camp lunch eating when Percy spoke up.
"Is there a Greek god of disappointment?" Percy asked defeatedly. "Maybe someone should ask him if he's missing a kid."
June paused chewing to think, and Luke almost said something when the guy they were eating with, Chris, spoke up first.
"Oizys...but she's a goddess." June looked at Chris with a 'i wish you would just shut your mouth.' Look and listened to him.
"And her whole thing isn't really disappointment, it's more like...failure." Chris added.
Everyone had a look of confusion and awkwardness on their faces. Luke rolled his eyes and looked at Percy. "We're gonna find the thing that you're good at. I know it."
Just then a bell chimed and Luke and Chris starting standing up. But as soon as that bell chimed, Junes head fell onto the table as if she had fainted and Luke let out a soft laugh.
"Our turn." Luke said, grabbing his tray of food with Chris.
"Our turn for what?" Percy asked.
"Burnt offerings. The gods like the smell, so it gets their attention before you say a prayer." June chimed in. Lifting her head back up to look at Percy.
"They like the smell of burnt Mac & cheese?" Percy asked June but Chris answered before she could.
"Nope-they like the smell of begging." Chris started walking away.
"You're supposed to burn what you'll miss the most..." June said, about to continue her sentence but Luke spoke.
"Then they know you really mean what you're about to say, so they listen." Luke started to walk off. June mocked him as he did.
"Then they know what you really mean so they blah blah blah- oh give me a break." June said rolling her eyes.
"Wait are you not gonna..." Percy asked June, pointing at Luke and Chris.
"There's no point in trying to talk to him when all these years he's ignored me." June shrugged and rolled her eyes.
"Well who's you're-" before Percy could even finish his sentence June cut him off.
"It doesn't matter." She said, stabbing food on her plate. Percy nodded his head and let it go.
"All that matters is that he doesn't care about me so why should I give up stuff I'll miss the most to even try and talk to him when his ears are close when it comes to me." June scoffed. Percy was listening to her, he could very well tell that her father was a rough thing to talk about. So he didn't press the matter.
"I guess I get that. I just already know it's gonna take ages for my dad to realize I'm his kid." Percy sighed.
"Sometimes it happens in the blink of an eye and sometimes it takes a year or two like it did for me. You just gotta...hope. Or whatever." June laughed and so did Percy.

"...I CAN EXPLAIN..."
June was trying to sleep but she genuinely couldn't. So she walked out of her cabin to walk around but was taken aback when she heard a small explosion from the bathrooms. She almost went to go by herself but instead she snuck into Athena's cabin quietly and got Annabeth to go with her. Annabeth knew why.
Once her and Annabeth were together, they quickly made it to the bathrooms. Where they saw Clarisse running back to her cabin, drenched.
Both June and Annabeth ran to the bathroom to find a pool of water that covered the entire bathroom floor. And then they saw Percy.
"I can explain." Percy looked around.
"No you can't." Annabeth said.
"Okay...wait I know you." Percy's eyebrows screwed together.
"No, you don't." Annabeth shrugged.
"Yeah, but you were there. That night in the infirmary." Percy rebuttaled.
Annabeth shrugged. "Yes. I'm Annabeth." She said flatly.
"Are you stalking me, Annabeth?" Percy asked. June could hear the attempt in Percy's voice of trying to sound intimidating but that wouldn't work with annabeth.
"Yes." Annabeth said. She was direct. Which made June let out a little chuckle.
Percy's eyes darted from Annabeth to June. "Okay...Why?" Percy asked.
"Basically, we've been waiting to see if something like...this would happen." June said, gesturing to the water mess in the bathroom.
"So we'd know if you could help us." Annabeth added.
"Help you do...what?" Percy asked.
"Win capture the flag." June smiled.
