16Hello! It's AutumnLeaves03! I'm back with another Percy Jackson story! So this is set right after the giant war, Leo has came back and for his birthday he asked for a TV, his sister made him one. I'm sorry if this story is bad, the idea came to me and I just had to write! Anyone who reviews will get a shout out in the next chapter! I think I that I'm ranting so here is the story! Hope you enjoy and BYE!
Third Person
Leo skips to the new TV spot at camp half blood, he happily turns on the TV and sits down to watch a show.
A show comes on, named Chopped, a cooking show where the winner gets 10,000 dollars.
"Four Chefs, three courses, only one chance to win. The challenge: create an unforgivable meal of the mystery items in the basket, before time runs out. Our distinguished panel of chefs will critique their work, and one by one they must face the dreaded chopping block. Who will win the 10 thousand dollars prize, and who will be chopped…?" the man in the suit says on the new TV.
"THIS SEEMS AWESOME!" Leo screams and continues watching the television as the guy introduces the chefs that will compete.
"What is awesome, Leo?" Piper asks.
"I'm watching a show on the new TV we got!" Leo squeals.
"I told you we should have not gotten that! You need to be training! Not killing your brain with television!" Piper says.
"Too bad, Beauty Queen!" I smile "I'm watching this whole show!"
"Fine!" Piper says, and then storms out of the room.
"Now where are we? Oh! Yes I remember! I was watching the show!" Leo exclaims and then turns back to the screen.
"There are three rounds; appetizer, entrée, and dessert. Each course has its own basket of mystery ingredients. You must use every ingredient in the basket in some way. Also available to you are a pantry and fridge. Each round is timed. When the clock runs out, our judges will critique your dishes on presentation, taste, and creativity. If your dish doesn't cut it, you will be chopped," the man says, while looking bored.
Leo's eyes widen and he watches as the chefs open their first basket.
Cow's liver, chocolate covered peanuts, cotton candy, and sour pickles.
Oh, the joy!
The chefs have 20 minutes to make the dish, after that they all line up and give the judges their dishes.
"Very nice seasoning!" one of the judges says.
Leo continues to stare at the screen until the show is done.
"I have to get on this show!" he whispers and then runs off to the big house.
As Leo runs to the Big House, he passes Nico, who is sitting in the dirt drawing a map of some sort.
Leo shrugs and continues to the big house to convince Chiron to let him go on Chopped.
o0o0o0o TIME SKIP TO AFTER LEO TALKS TO CHIRON o0o0o0o
Leo runs out of the big house happily- why, you might ask? Because he convinced Chiron to let him go on that TV show named… named…. Cut? No! Chopped!
"Percy!" Leo screams.
Percy, who was sitting in a canoe with Annabeth, jumps and falls into the lake.
"What? Monsters?" he yelps as he surfaces again.
"Its okay, Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth giggles as she slowly paddles the canoe to the shore.
"Wanna go on Chopped?" Leo asks Percy.
"On what?" he asks.
"Chopped! A TV show!" Leo says. "It's where you make awesome… well, interesting food!"
"Er… Okay!" Percy smiles.
"Okay! See you later!" Leo yells and run of to find Nico and Piper.
"NICO!" he screams when he sees him.
Nico, who was petting Mrs. O'Leary, also jumps at his excitement.
"What!?" he yelps.
"Wanna go on this epic show, Chopped?" Leo giggles like a maniac. Yep, giggling! So unlike him!
"Uhh, sure?" Nico shrugs.
"Great! See ya!" he screams as he runs off. Next victim? Piper.
After a few minutes of sprinting around everywhere, Leo spots Piper talking to the oracle, Rachel Dare.
"Hey Piper!" he yells at her.
Piper, who is talking to Rachel avidly, jumps. What is it with everyone jumping?
"What is it, Leo?" she asks.
"Wanna go on Chopped?" Leo begs her.
"On… what?" she asks.
"On Chopped, if you win you get 10,000 dollars! It's like the best TV show ev-"
"Ok! Now, shoo!" she says in equal parts irritation and amusement.
Leo runs off. The next show is this Monday; he has to talk with the producers of the show. They have to get on Chopped!
Leo giggles as he rents a car and drive to the place where they film Chopped. Poor people who drive every day! Di immortales! It's horrible! He only ran five red lights, bumped into three cars and drove over the speed limit 2,837,283,628 times!
o0o0o0oLINE BREAK TO WHEN LEO GETS TO CHOPPED PLACEo0o0o0o
Leo's POV
I sprint out of the newly wrecked car and into the Chopped building. I skid in right as the red light flashes and the director yells, "Cut!"
"MY NAME IS LEO MCSHIZZLE VALDEZ AND I WANT TO BE ON THIS SHOW!" I scream and a judge falls out of his chair.
"Umm, security!" The guy on the floor yells. A woman pushes her chair back and stands up, reaching for the phone.
"Listen! My name is Leo Valdez and I'm a very, very, VERY good chef! I know three other people who would like to be on this show, and if you don't let me on, well, bad things might happen!" I explain to them. I can't wait for them to say yes! What a magic word…
"No!" the grumpy judge guy says.
"What?" I ask.
"I said no! Now get out!" He says and sits back down in his chair. Heh. Maybe he's still annoyed about me making him fall off his chair.
"I, uhh, ummm," I mutter. "BAD MISTAKE PERSON-GUY-WHO-I-HAVE-NO-CLUE-WHO-YOU-ARE!" I scream and I think my nose catches fire- Hephaestus perks, having a flaming nose- because they start screaming.
"AHHHHH! SECURITY!" they all yell. The grumpy judge dude promptly falls off his chair again. He should really get that looked at.
I grin for a split second and then snap my fingers, "I'm just a person who is going to compete on the next show, my three friends are going to as well," I tell everyone in my best imitation of a calm voice.
They start to look very confused and tell the security people to go away. I mean, why the world did they come?
"Please come back on Saturday at 5:00 in the afternoon, our next filming session is then," a brunette judge says.
"Okay! Bye!" I say, cackling gleefully, and then run out of the building, leaving lots of confused mortals behind.
I drive back to camp after stealing a car… okay, maybe it was a limo. Not my fault if it got a 'little' damaged! Really! Blame the useless traffic lights!
When I get back, I gather up Percy, Nico, and Piper and tell them we are going on Chopped.
"It's going to be on live TV! LIVE!" I explain as fast as I can.
"What have I gotten myself into?" Nico moans, and then shadow travels away, muttering, "I only agreed to shut him up."
Huh?
I grin and then go back to my cabin. Tomorrow is going to be great!
So that was the chapter! the next chapter will hopefully be up in a few days! if the chapter is horrible, I'm sorry! if you don't like, don't review! That's all I have to say! have a good day or night! :)
