Wow I'm finally updating this. Been over a year, well that's all I have to say. Everyone reading this should know by now that I don't own PJO or HoO. I'm too lazy to type the disclaimer more than I feel like. I started school Monday. It was okay. TGIF!

Miranda's POV:
I didn't know we had practice today. Why didn't any of Katie and mine's friend remind us? Oh yeah our phones don't work in the camp boundaries. But we would've gotten the notification once we left camp, wait where's my phone? I left it back at camp. " Katie, where's your phone?" She finds it but it's dead. What ever we have to get out on the baseball field now. Why are we having a joined practice? Well some demigods do learn things better by sight. The rest of our school team were waiting for us. After some practice, Coach Clarkson let us use the softball field and the school bats and balls. After trying to teach the other demigods, I have come to see that their not really good at this. Guess we have to start from the basics. To make this easier we have them draw from a hat. What ever they get is their spot they going to play in the game.

Katie and I split the other girls into groups. Thalia, Nyssa, Kayla, Hailey, and Raina were in my group. I ordered Kayla, Nyssa, and Raina to run around the field until I called them back over. I had Thalia and Hailey throw the soft ball back and forth until I came up with a plan how to teach them. I then made Hailey stand on second base and Thalia her the ball from the mound. She almost caught it. After a few more times, Hailey caught the ball every time. I made her go stand in left field and went to the batting box, I signaled for Thalia to throw the ball at me. I hit the ball over to left field, Hailey dives for the ball but misses. This is going to take a while. I like how on the field there's this giant sun-dial. It's 3:00 should go back to camp around 5. I call the other girls back and I continue to train them.
Apollo's POV:
Athena was basically ordering us around. She's making us take part in a competition she made up. Right now we're throwing baseballs in our mortal forms. We need to keep the skill level at some sort of even apparently. Whatever. It's my turn now. I throw the baseball at the target and Athena nods to signal that I'm done. I watch the others throw. Once everyone finished she announces the scores and that makes Zeus the thrower for us. Hermes is his replace if Dad gets tired. Throwing for the team on our side is Demeter and her replacement is Persephone. Athena says we can leave after this challenge and we'll continue tomorrow. We have to hit the ball with a stick then drop the stick and run in a square back to the bat. After everyone has gone Athena said she made a rough draft of our batting line up.

What I thought Ariadne was going to part of the softball game. I asked Dionysus and he said his wife doesn't feel so athletic as the others. He also doesn't even know why Aphrodite is trying to get involved. Now Ariadne is going to keep score.
I don't really understand the list maybe Athena will explain it tomorrow. I head to my room and fall asleep.
