Clearing her throat Demeter read, "MY MOTHER TEACHES ME BULLFIGHTING"

"Sweet," Ares exclaimed.

"We tore... barnyard animal."

"Tread lightly cupcake!"

"All I... your friend."

"Best friend, G-man."

"Urn... donkey-"

"Uh-oh."

"I will destroy you! Get me a bazooka. I will blast you out of the sky!" Hedge lunged towards Percy only to be held back by Clarisse and Chris.

Pan looked like he was one step away from turning Percy into a plant and burning him.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

"Insolent child! Why I should..." Pan looked downright terrifying.

To avoid possible bloodshed, Demeter continued, "Grover let... didn't matter."

"Seriously? Stop arguing." Connor exclaimed.

"It already happened dude."

"Whatever."

"Blaa-ha-ha... insult!"

"I think we are missing out on a couple more!" Thalia said.

"No. No. That's... that's good... we're good." Poseidon stammered, hoping his son wouldn't irritate anyone during the reading.

"Hey wait a minute! I don't go out of my way to annoy them, it's just accidents, and well dad's fault with the whole 'the sea does not like to be restrained'. Besides me and Mr.D have an arrangement and it's my job to annoy Hades, he's my uncle" Percy said trying to defend himself.

Rachel tried to cover her smirk before speaking up. "Really? What about that time you were mad at Poseidon because he grounded you and when it was time to sacrifice the food you said, and I quote - I am offering this the the man who had the opportunity to fall in love with the gorgeous Sally Jackson.
