Two uploads in one day. I'm feeling proud of myself.

This is a little more of a tangent than the other chapters, but it stills fits. Take place after The Lightning Thief, but during the same summer. The event was first referenced in Sea of Monsters, so it would have had to be before then, but while Percy was still at camp, so that was the most obvious choice.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything I didn't in the chapter before.

Delivery

Lee blamed Will. Will blamed Michael. Michael blamed Kayla. And Kayla blamed Lee.

But anyone who was paying attention would realize it was definitely Austin's fault.

He had only been at camp for a month at that point, and the adjustment from the junk food he was used to eating to camp's healthy meals had been harder for him than most. He had been living with his uncle for three years, and there was nothing healthy in that man's house. Austin was used to having pizza for three meals a day.

So, when his first YouTube video became a viral hit on Hephaestus TV (Lee promised it wouldn't be long before the mortal world followed) and Apollo decided to reward his son with whatever he wanted, Austin immediately decided he wanted pizza.

But he would never, ever admit to being the one who ordered it.


Lee really didn't like opening his door to find an annoyed Annabeth.

She was a couple years younger than him, but she still terrified him in ways very few people could. Most of camp was learning to be scared of her.

"Pizza?" Annabeth asked. "Seriously?"

"What?" Lee replied.

"There's a mortal pizza guy in the big house," Annabeth explained.

"That sounds like the Stolls fault," Lee said.

Annabeth didn't look convinced. "He said Fred McAwesome sent him."

"And that's Apollo's incognito name, isn't it?" Lee asked with a sigh. "I promise I know nothing about this."

"Well, could you and Will at least check him out?" Annabeth asked. "The poor dude's confused."


"Cabin meeting," Lee called, silencing his siblings. It was almost light's out - children of Apollo were useless after dark - but this needed to be settled. Now, preferably. "Who ordered pizza?"

"What?" Kayla asked. "Pizza?" She was waxing her Olympic-style recurve bow, something she took way too seriously and rarely talked while doing (a blessing to her brothers), so her outburst caused everyone else to jump.

"Who ordered pizza?" Lee repeated.

"What makes you think one of us did it?" Michael asked.

"Because, apparently, it was Apollo who ordered it," Lee explained. He thought Austin paled a little, but he was too young and behaved to have caused trouble like that.

Besides, if anyone was desperate enough to order pizza via Olympian parent, it would be one of the year rounders - either Will or Kayla. And Kayla was allergic to gluten, so...
Will, of course, denied it. He was a health nut, but even health nuts needed pizza every once in a while. If Lee was a year-rounder, he probably would've pulled something like this. Pizza was a necessity.

Will had immediately blamed Michael, who tended to get the most in trouble, but Michael threw up whenever he ate cheese, so Lee highly doubted he ordered pizza.

"Who would order pizza?" Kayla asked. "Pizza is gross."

"You once snuck out of camp to a local diner because you missed eating fries with grape jelly," Michael reminded her. "In fact, I bet it was you who ordered it. You do get in trouble the most, after all."

"You mean next to you, of course," Kayla replied.

"Pizza makes me sick," Michael said, making a face.

"It makes me sick too," Kayla argued.

"No it doesn't," Michael replied. "It just makes you rash. You don't actually get sick."

"I'll make you rash!" Kayla snarled.

"Hey!" Lee called. "We do not need to fight about this."

"Well, if it was anyone's fault," Kayla said. "It'd be yours."

"Pizza makes me sick," Michael replied.

"Not you," Kayla answered. She turned to Lee. "You."

"Me?" Lee asked. "Trust me, if I did something like this, no one would know about it."

"Either way," Kayla replied. "You're head counselor. Everyone knows that makes you dad's favorite, not to mention responsible for whatever we do. Therefore, it's your fault."

"No it's not!" Lee argued.

"Yes it is," Kayla stated. "Isn't that right, Austin?"

Lee sighed. Kayla and Austin had hit it off instantly, so of course he would agree with her.

"Um... sure."
