Chapter Text

The moon hung high above Camp Half-Blood. Everyone was waiting for a new half-blood to come because a satyr named Declan had said so. They’d been waiting for hours and soon, out from the thicket, came Gayle Tine. Gayle Tine was a haughty looking girl with black hair, a tall black crown, and a long-sleeved black bodysuit. “Hey y’all,” she said as she looked at her nails, "my name is Gayle Tine and I’m a daughter of Hecate.”

Chiron came over, bowed, and said, “Well, Miss Tine, my name is Chiron and welcome to Camp Half-Blood! Please proceed to Cabin 20,” he said as he pointed to a cabin made out of stones with runes on them. Gayle nodded and started to walk over but then a brilliant flash of light appeared in front of her. Out from it stepped a woman with long luscious black hair, a flowing black dress, a candlelit wreath on her head, and a triskele necklace. “Hello, my beloved daughter,” she said in a mystical voice.

Gayle bowed and then got up and said, “Yea, mom?” “My dear, I’m so happy you finally made your way to Camp Half-Blood! After all, you’re my favorite child of course!” Hecate hugged her and then grabbed a sack. “To help with your journey in navigating the half-blood world, I have some gifts to give you!”

Hecate reached into her sack and pulled out a silver dagger, a swirling crystal ball, and a grimoire. “These are the essentials every witch needs now good luck, my beloved!” Hecate flicked her wrist and disappeared in a puff of green smoke. Gayle stood there with the items in her hands, flabbergasted. Then, she smirked and said, “I always knew I was mom’s favorite.”

Then, Percy Jackson and Nico di Angelo came over. “Hey girl,” Percy started, “you must be pretty cool if you’re Hecate’s fav daughter.” “You want to make out with us?” Nico asked. Gayle turned her head to look at them and said, “Yeah, let’s make out.” Then, Gayle started kissing Nico and Percy on the lips and they kissed back.

It went on for a good fifteen minutes before Annabeth cleared her throat. “Excuse me, Chiron?”

Chiron, who was staring mesmerized at the trio kissing, blinked his eyes and then looked over and asked, “What is it, Annabeth?” “Shouldn’t you be stopping this?” “No, my dear, after all, I do very much love camp drama.” Annabeth rolled her eyes and said, “Yes, we all know that but you should be stopping it because Percy is MY boyfriend and you know what I’m going to do if I don’t get my way.”

Chiron’s expression shifted to one of horror. “Oh yes, I’m sorry Gayle but you must proceed to Cabin 20 immediately.” Gayle looked shocked and turned with anger towards Annabeth, who was smirking. “Now, Percy, come along,” said Annabeth as she walked away. “Yes, of course, my darling,” Percy said as he followed her. “Who was that?” asked Gayle, angry and confused at the same time.

“That’s Annabeth, the meanest girl in Camp.” Gayle turned around to see a girl with French braids, a crop top, short denim shorts, and a cardigan. “Hi Gayle, my name’s Piper.” “And who are you?” “The baddest girl in Camp Half-Blood, at least until you came.”

Gayle put her hand on her hip and raised an eyebrow. “So I guess you want to fight now?” Piper looked at her fingernails and then said, “Actually, I was thinking that the two of us could work together since we’re the two baddest girls at camp.” “Yeah, let’s do that.” “Ok, see you tomorrow.” “See you later, girlie,” Gayle said and then she went and walked toward Cabin 20 while Declan carried her suitcase.

Gayle walked through the door of Cabin 20 and she immediately came face to face with a girl with a black bob with bangs, a black Camp Half-Blood shirt, a long-sleeve black and white shirt under it, and tight black ripped jeans. “The name’s Lou Ellen Blackstone,” the girl started, “and you are?” Gayle laughed and then said, “The name’s Gayle Tine, Hecate’s fav child. Also, what sort of a last name is Blackstone?” Lou Ellen’s face turned bright red.

“Hey! Don’t make fun of my last name!” “Whoa, this bitch is too sensitive, I’m just asking a question!” “Well, it’s my last name! Happy?”

“Yeah, but it’s a stupid last name.” “How rude of you! I’ll have you know that I’m the head counselor for Hecate cabin!” “And I’m mom’s fav child so I trump you.” “No you don’t!”

Gayle yawned and then said, “Ugh shut up, bitch! Who the hell even chose you!? You’re ugly as Tartarus!” Everyone besides Lou Ellen made oohs and then started snickering at Lou Ellen. Lou Ellen’s face turned red and calmly yet angrily said, “You will apologize right now, Gayle or I will destroy you.”

Gayle yawned again and said, “You know what? I’m tired and I’ve had enough of you so I’m going to make you shut up.” Gayle then used her magic to grab Lou Eleen and hang her upside down from the ceiling. Everyone oohed and ahhed and then started laughing at a furious Lou Ellen. “Put me down right now!” she yelled.

Gayle laughed and then shook her head. “I don’t think so.” Then, she turned to everyone else and asked, “Who wants to watch a movie?” Everyone screamed in approval and Gayle used her magic to turn the lights into fairy lights and to summon blankets, pillows, and snacks. Then, she summoned a tv remote and said, “We’re watching Hocus Pocus.” She pressed the power button and soon Hocus Pocus was starting on a tv screen that had magically appeared on the wall.

Everybody chattered, snacked, and thanked Gayle for the movie night. “It was my pleasure, witchy brethren,” she replied. Once the movie was over, everybody, including Gayle, was tired so they all went to sleep. Gayle curled up in her bunk and drifted off to the realm of Morpheus. Once there, she saw a figure with short-cropped sandy blonde hair and a scar that ran from the bottom of his eye.

“Who are you?” Gayle asked, finding him kinda hot. The figure laughed and said, “My name is Luke Castellan and I need you to kill Reyna Ramirez-Arellano.” He held out his hand and the image of a Latina teen girl in Roman armor hovered above it. Gayle asked, “And why would I do that?” Luke laughed again and said, “Because Reyna is the most politically powerful half-blood and I need to become king of the half-bloods.”

“Who knows? I might make you my queen if you do what I want, beautiful.” “Done. I’ll kill that bitch for you.” “Thank you.” The two of them kissed and Gayle woke up to find the sun shining directly on her.

Gayle got up and went to breakfast. After a hearty breakfast of hashbrowns and avocado toast, Gayle made her way back to the cabin where Lou Ellen was arguing with two other people.

“No, Kevin, I will NOT abdicate!”

“Well, Gayle would be a much better head counselor than you are right now!” a boy wearing a black skull tank top and denim shorts said.

“Yeah, step down bitch!” a girl with bushy orange hair and a mulberry colored empire dress said.

Lou Ellen turned to look at her.

“You stay out of this, Della! Now, my decision’s final! I will NOT abdicate.”

“You know, a good leader listens to her people,” Gayle said

Everyone turned to face Gayle who was leaning against the doorway and looking at her nails.

“You dirty-ass bitch, stay the fuck out of this!”

Gayle turned to Lou Ellen and laughed. Then, she sternly said, “No,” and left. She walked toward a shady area hidden by overgrown bushes. She’d agreed to meet Piper here for gossip and nails-painting. Laying across a blanket was Piper, painting her nails a dark shade of maroon.

“Hey, Pipes.”

Piper turned to look at her.

“Hey Gayle, you ready for some juicy secrets and some nail-painting?”

Gayle sat down and said, “You know I am.”

“K, what color do you want your nails painted?”

“Obsidian black.”

“K,” Piper said as she took it out. Then, she started painting Gayle’s nails.

“So did you know that Lou Ellen once dated Cecil?”

“No, what happened? Was it because Lou Ellen was being her typical bitchy self?”

Piper laughed and then said, “No, Annabeth told Cecil that Lou Ellen was cheating on him with his half-brother Chris and Cecil was so mad that he broke up with her. But that’s not all!”

“Ooh, tell me more!”

“Clarisse, who is Chris’ girlfriend, got mad and so she used her spear to pin Lou Ellen to the bathroom wall for hours! But then Katie Gardner had to be a buzzkill and told Chiron to do his duty and help Lou Ellen down. He did it but he wasn’t too happy about it though.”

“Well I can imagine. If I was Chiron, I would’ve punched Katie and I would’ve left Lou Ellen up there forever.”

“Me too, Katie’s such a goody-two-shoes prissy perfect buzzkill. She ruins everything. One time, Annabeth pushed Calypso into a puddle of mud and Calypso started crying. It was soooo funny. But then, Katie told Annabeth to stop being mean and helped up Calypso.”

“I haven’t met Katie yet but I can already tell she and I are going to have some problems. That doesn’t mean I like Annabeth though. That bitch literally forced Percy to leave the holy sanctuary of my lips!”

“Yeah, no-one really likes Annabeth because she bullies everyone. However, when you’re not the one getting bullied, it’s fun to watch her bully other people. Anyway, your nails are finished.”

Gayle looked down at her nails and shrieked in happiness.

“Oh my gosh, Piper! You are a master at painting nails.”

“Aww, thanks girlie!”

“Anyway, I have to go Piper, I have a date planned.”

“K, good luck on your date.”

“Thanks, Pipes,” Gayle said and then she left.

Gayle ventured into another shady clearing. She used her magic to summon a picnic blanket, a picnic basket, cups, and a pitcher of lemonade.

“Perfect,” she said to herself and then she waited for the boys to come.

Soon, out from the bushes came Percy, Nico, Will, Leo, and Connor.

“Hey there, bonita!”

“Hey, Leo,” she said and then she went over to him and kissed him on the lips.

Do you have any ambrosia or nectar? I think I scraped my knee when I fell for you,” Percy said.

Gayle laughed and then said, “Oh Percy, thank you!”

“You’re drop-dead gorgeous,” Nico said.

“Oh guys, y’all are just so nice!” Gayle said as she and Nico did faire la bise.

“Rachel told me that our fates are intertwined,” said Will.

“Who’s Rachel?”

“Oh, she’s the Oracle and she can tell…the future!”

“Oooo! Well, I love that our fates are intertwined!” Gayle said and then she kissed Will on the cheek.

“Y’know Gayle, usually I’m the thief but today…you’re the thief.”

“What’d I steal, Connor?”

“My heart,” Connor said and then he started smiling wide.

“Connor, that’s amazing!” she said, as she hugged him. “But now, it’s time for lunch y’all!”

“What’d you make?” Connor asked.

“I made sandwiches, hot dogs, potato salad, potato chips, and brownies!”

“Wow, Gayle,” Percy started, “you’re very talented.”

Gayle blushed and then said, “Aww thanks Percy.”

“Anything for you, girlie,” then he kissed her on the lips.

Gayle blushed and then went to join the others on the picnic blanket. They ate and talked about everything from the Olympians to quests to monsters. Gayle grabbed a spoonful of potato salad and playfully flicked it at Connor who burst out laughing. Nico then started musing about spending the eternity of death with Gayle and Will spat out a haiku about Gayle’s beauty, causing her to blush. Leo then started making jokes and everyone was rolling on the floor laughing.

“What do you call a musician petrified by Medusa? A rockstar!”

Everyone started laughing and Gayle wiped away a tear.

“Oh my gosh Leo, Zeus needs to name you his official jokemaster with how good you are!”

“Thank you, mi hermosa.”

“Oh, Leo!” Gayle said, then she started making out with him.

Nico woke up and asked, “Did I miss anything?”

“Only the best jokes ever, my skeletal snookums!”

“Ok, so no then.”

Then, they all turned to look at the sunset and they sighed.

“Anyway,” Percy said, “it’s getting late.”

“Yes,” Gayle agreed, “it is getting late.”

Then, she used magic to pack everything up.

“See y’all later, my loves,” she said as she started walking away. Then, she blew them each a kiss.

“Bye Gayle,” they said, sending kisses back.

Gayle blushed and then left.

Gayle walked into Camp Half-Blood whistling. Today had been amazing. First, her half-siblings were rebelling against Lou Ellen and she learned some dirt on Lou Ellen and Katie. Then, she had a picnic with her five different boyfriends. She sighed happily and headed toward her cabin. However, Annabeth was standing in front of her.

“Hey Annabeth, is something wrong?” she asked.

“Yes, you dirty slut, you went on a date with my boyfriend!” Annabeth replied. Then, she pushed Gayle into a mud puddle.

Gayle was flabbergasted. “Why’d you do that, bitch? Now, I’m covered in mud and my outfit is ruined!”

“That’s the point! Sluts like you need to learn that they can’t go around getting their stupid, dirty-ass hands all over Percy.”

Gayle was about to cry but then she spotted Percy from the corner of her eye. He had just come back from the clearing and he had the biggest smile on his face.

“Percy!” she called out. “Annabeth pushed me into a mud puddle.”

Percy’s expression quickly turned to one of anger and he stomped his way toward Annabeth.

“What was up with that, bitch?!”

Annabeth put her arms around him. “She was stealing you from me, Seaweed Brain! I had to stop her!”

Percy yanked her arms off of him. “No! You can’t just do stuff like that Annabeth! We are breaking up! Find someone else who will deal with your bitchiness!”

Then, he pushed her into the mud puddle and helped Gayle up. Gayle quickly used magic to turn herself back to normal.

“I’m so sorry that happened to you, girl. Are you ok?”

“Yes, Percy, I’m ok. Thanks for helping me up.”

Percy kissed her lips and then said, “Anything for you, my darling.”

Gayle blushed and they started making out for a few minutes. Then, Gayle said, “I need to go.”

“Ok, Gayle, see you at dinner.”

“See you at dinner, Percy!”

Gayle headed to Cabin 20 and plopped herself onto her bed. Then, she opened her grimoire to page 39, the killing spell.

“That blonde bitch is going to pay for messing with me!”

Then she recited the spell: “Mother Hecate, let her suffer! Let her die a horrible death! Make her dance with Thanatos! Take her to the realm of Hades! Make her gone from the mortal realm!”

A black mist warped around Gayle and she saw Thanatos’ face and a vision of Annabeth being dragged down whilst screaming. Then she saw Hecate’s face, her eyes gone blank, repeatedly chanting Thanatos’ name. Then, everything turned normal again. A few seconds later, Gayle heard a scream from Cabin 6. She, along with her half-siblings, ran toward Cabin 6 where it seemed everyone was gathered.

Chiron, in a bored tone, said, “Annabeth’s dead.”

A girl in the back asked, “Wait, really?”

“Yeah, now shut up and let me go back to reading Us Weekly,” he replied and then left.

“How’d she die?” a boy asked.

Gayle took Chiron’s spot and said, “I killed Annabeth. I’ve had enough of her bitchiness so I looked through my grimoire and used the killing spell on her.”

At first, everyone was silent. Then, everybody started cheering.

“Yay!” Percy said, “This calls for a celebration!”

A group of half-bloods grabbed Gayle and hoisted her up into the air. Then, they carried her to the center of camp to celebrate.

Chapter Text

At dinner, as everyone had settled down to start eating, Chiron lazily stood up and hit his spoon against his goblet.

“Y’all better listen now because I will NOT repeat myself. We gather here to honor the most esteemed daughter of Hecate, the grand lady of magic, Gayle Tine, for killing the bitch known as Annabeth Chase. Everybody, give her a hand.”

Gayle stood up and smiled and waved as everyone clapped, even Lou Ellen, who did it reluctantly.

“Now no one bother me for the rest of tonight because I just got to the part about Cassie and Diddy,” Chiron said before returning to his magazine.

Gayle sat down and immediately people started asking her a million questions.

“Gayle, can I have your autograph?”

“Gayle, what’s your opinion on Wednesday?”

“Gayle, why are you so amazing?”

“Gayle, can you please be the counselor of Hecate Cabin?”

“Gayle, can you teach me some of your magic?”

Gayle laughed and then said, “One at a time, people! Yes, Nelly, you can have my autograph. Wednesday is the second best show right now after Agatha All Along. I don’t know, the Fates just decided I should be this amazing. I’d love to be the counselor of Hecate Cabin. Sorry Janie but you’re not a daughter of Hecate, you’re a daughter of Aphrodite, so I can’t teach you some of my magic.”

After a few more Q&As and a bunch more autographs, a son of Dionysus named Harvey went to the center of the dining area wearing sunglasses, a Hawaiian shirt, and blue shorts and holding a boombox.

“Let’s get this party started!” he yelled.

Everybody screamed and cheered and soon people started stripping down into party outfits. There was kissing, soda drinking, dancing, water gun fights, marshmallow roasting, and more. Gayle grabbed a 7-Up and switched between dancing with Percy and Connor. After a crazy water gun fight with Piper, Percy, Will, Connor, and Leo, Gayle sat down to catch her breath, happy but drenched.

“Woo! That was amazing!” Gayle said, as she used magic to dry herself.

“Yeah…it…was!” Connor said, stopping to catch his breath between words.

At that moment, a girl with bushy red hair and a skimpy black dress and a train walked through the crowd. On her face was an expression of complacent arrogance. Everyone oohed and ahhed and parted to make way except for one dude who went up to her.

“Hey, Rachel, can you date me?”

“No, sleazo, I’m dating Ethan. Do you see my ring?”

She then showed him a crimson ring with a lion on it.

“Ethan gave this to me, now get the fuck out of my way.”

“But please?”

Rachel put on an expression of annoyance and then grabbed a dagger from her dress. Then, she plunged it into him. He started bleeding and he fell down to the floor, dead.

“I did tell him to leave me the fuck alone,” she told the crowd. Then, she walked over to an 8 ft tall white marble building with statues of Apollo and Terpsichore and went through a wooden brown door.

“I must know this lady,” Gayle said and then she too disappeared behind the brown door.
She went in to find Rachel and two other girls, an Asian girl with a black butterfly haircut and a big and stocky girl with a blunt brown bob, doing their makeup.

“What’s going on here?” Gayle asked.

All three girls turned to look at her and Rachel asked her, “Now, who are you? You are just radiating scandal and I love it.”

“My name’s Gayle Tine and scandal and I are one and the same.”

“Ooh, I do love a good scandal. I am Rachel and the Asian girl over there is Drew and that big, stocky girl over there is Nyssa.”

Nyssa and Drew waved hi. Nyssa looked giddy and Drew couldn’t even care less.

“Hi, now what are y’all doing here?”

“We are the performance club,” Rachel started, “we dress in skimpy outfits and sing and dance.”

“Ooh, that sounds cool!”

“It is, now if you excuse us, Drew and I have to change,” Rachel said and she and Drew disappeared behind a curtain, leaving Gayle with Nyssa.

“So, Nyssa, you’re a bit too stocky to be a performer, aren’t you?”

“What do you mean? Are you body shaming me?”

“Yes,” Gayle said and then she plunged a dagger into Nyssa, who instantly died.

A few seconds later, Rachel and Drew came out wearing sleeveless sparkly black bodysuits. They admired themselves and showed off until Rachel’s eye caught Nyssa’s dead body.

“Gayle, what happened?” Rachel asked.

Gayle looked at her fingernails and then looked up and said, “Nyssa just randomly decided to kill herself.”

“Ugh, that bitch! Why the fuck did she do that!? Now we have no-one for the performance and everyone’s expecting us!”

“I could take Nyssa’s spot.”

“K, get dressed and let’s see what you’ve got.”

“I won’t let you down!”

Gayle saluted Rachel and then ran behind the curtain to change.

Chapter Text

The audience members were chatting under the moonlight in their seats as they waited for the performance. There were jokes and talks about how horrible Annabeth was and what the best tv show is. However, Percy was worried. He hadn’t seen Gayle since the festivities and he was afraid something happened to her.

He turned to Leo and asked, “Have you seen Gayle?”

“No, I haven’t seen the hermosa either and it’s worrying me.”

“Same. Anyway, Will, have you seen Gayle?”

“No and it’s making me freak out! What if a monster killed her? What if the ghost of Annabeth killed her? What if Hades dragged her down into Tartarus?”

“Guys,” Connor started, “Gayle killed Annabeth! There’s nothing she can’t handle.”

“Yeah,” Piper said, nodding. “Y’all need to chill.”

Percy was about to protest but then at that moment, the curtains started to part and the lights went dim.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” an unseen voice said, “I give you the Camp Half-Blood Performance Club!”

At that moment, the curtains fully disappeared to reveal Rachel, Drew, and Gayle in tight revealing black bodysuits. Then, Womanizer by Britney Spears started playing and the girls started dancing provocatively to the music. Gayle flicked her tongue and winked at Percy, causing him to blush. Then, a bunch more provocative songs from the likes of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, and Doja Cat started playing and the dancing grew more provocative with each song. The audience members screamed and howled in joy and some were doing woo-woos and cheering.

“That’s our girl!” Percy yelled.

Now, it was time for Gayle to blush. After some more dancing, the girls stopped. However instead of bowing like they usually did, Rachel took a mic.

“Instead of ending the night like we usually do at this time, Gayle has requested to have her own set,” she said, “I hope you enjoy.”

Everyone cheered, screamed, and howled and the lights went completely dark. Then, a spotlight shone on the stage where Gayle, wearing a black disco jumpsuit, was sitting on a boy’s pool stick in a disco club called Club Gaga. Near the sign was a boy dressed like Eros and he shot an arrow at Gayle. Then, Gayle started singing.

“Let's have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick
Let's have some fun, this beat is sick
I wanna take a ride on your disco stick”

Everybody started screaming in joy after they realized she was singing Lady Gaga’s LoveGame. Gayle then finished the song, bent back, and kissed the boy holding the pool stick. Then, the scene transitioned to Gayle wearing a red bikini top, a red sarong, and a giant golden cross necklace. Next to her were a troupe of shirtless boys wearing black leather jackets and ripped black leather jeans.

“Oh, whoa-whoa, oh-oh
I'm in love with Judas, Judas
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm in love with Judas, Judas”

Gayle danced as she sang and the boys joined her. They got all close at one point and then they burst away from each other. Then, a column sprang out of the ground from where Gayle was standing and she found herself tied to a stake. She broke free and then started dancing and then she fell to the ground at the song’s final notes. The stage shifted to a chapel covered in neon lights with neon light icons of Hecate and Lady Gaga.

Gayle appeared, wearing sunglasses and a metallic black bodysuit with a golden cross necklace. Her hair had changed too, now she had long bangs.

“Wow, Gayle looks good with bangs!” Percy said.

“Yeah, that girl be slaying,” Piper said.

“My body is sanctuary
My blood is pure
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
You want me bad
I think you're cool
But I'm not sure
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo”

Gayle and her female side dancers, who were wearing similar outfits, danced in a robotic fashion as she sang. After she finished, the whole place went dark again. Then, the spotlight focused solely on Gayle, who was now wearing a black 1840 style dress. Next to her were a group of girls in revealing red dresses and large red fedoras and there were two boys dressed like angels.

Gayle said, “This is when the real party begins. Long live MAYHEM! Also, the category is ‘dance or die.’”

She then threw away the mic and the ladies in red started dancing and Gayle started singing.

“Abra-ca-dabra
Abracadabra
Abra-ca-dabra
Abracadabra
Pay the toll to the angels
Drawing circles in the clouds”

The boys dressed as angels swooped down and started flying. Gayle sang as the ladies in red danced manically. Gayle levitated and the angels grabbed her as she levitated. Then, she crashed down to the floor and started dancing.

“Abracadabra
Amor oo na na
Abra ca da bra
Morta oo gaga
Abracadabra
Abra oo na na
In her tongue she said
Death or love tonight”

The boy dressed like Eros and a boy dressed like Thanatos dropped down and started getting up close and personal with Gayle. They all then started dancing and at the end of the song, Gayle levitated ten feet above the floor with fires blazing and all the other people looking up at her. Gayle’s eyes went blank and her head did a 360 and she started chanting in another language. She finished and her eyes blazed with green fire and the only light came from the fires on the stage and Gayle’s eyes. She then pulled her arms close and released them and a strong gust of wind pierced everyone.

Then, everything turned back to normal. Everyone sat there in shock before cheering and screaming and giving Gayle a standing ovation.

“That’s our girl!” Percy yelled before ripping his shirt.

Leo, Connor, and Will took off their shirts and started twirling them around in the air while yelling Gayle’s name. Rachel then came up to Gayle with a big wide smile.

“That was fucking amazing! You are a permanent part of the act!”

“Aww, thank you!”

Then, she turned the crowd and bowed.

“Thank you everyone! I’d like to take this moment to thank my dancers Holden son of Apollo, Isaac son of Aphrodite, Ronnie son of Apollo, Winston son of Apollo, Brayden son of Hades, Clifton son of Apollo, Boswell son of Apollo, Franky son of Apollo, Garnet son of Apollo, Laquan son of Apollo, Roan son of Apollo, Lucianna daughter of Apollo, China daughter of Apollo, Beatrix daughter of Apollo, Denise daughter of Apollo, and Vanessa daughter of Apollo. Thank you and good night.”

Gayle and her dancers bowed and then she left.

“Man, your performance was spectacular!” Connor said to Gayle as the group headed toward their cabins.

“Yeah it was fucking incredible!” Leo said.

“Aww, thank you! Y’all are too sweet,” Gayle said, blushing.

“I didn’t know you were a Mother Monster fan, Gayle,” Piper said.

“Well, Pipes, there’s a lot of things you don’t know about me.”

“Secretive, I like it. What’s your fav Lady Gaga song?”

“My fav Gaga song is either LoveGame or Electric Chapel.”

“Cool.”

“Gayle, how did you pull off Abracadabra? Just how?” Percy asked.

“Magic. That’s it, just fucking magic.”

“Wow, Gayle! I never knew magic was that powerful!” Will said.

“There’s a lot of things you don’t know about magic, sunshine,” Gayle said and then she winked at Will, who blushed.

“Anyway, this is where I leave y’all. See y’all tomorrow.”

“Bye Gayle!” they all said in unison.

Gayle smiled and then walked off. She knew her little experiment would be a success. But now, she had to focus on her mission of killing this Reyna person for Luke. Of course she’d do it but she’d need a plan. Before she could come up with a plan, she started smelling something weird.

“Is that marijuana?” she asked.

“Yeah, it is,” a voice below her replied.

Gayle looked down to see Nico smoking weed.

“Oh, my skeletal snookums, what are you doing here?”

Nico exhaled a puff of smoke before replying, “Well my sweets, I don’t like social stuff so every night after dinner, I come to my cabin and start smoking marijuana.”

“Oh, Nico, you’re cute.”

Gayle then bent down and kissed him on the forehead.

“Good night, honey!”

“Good night, Gayle,” he called after her.

Gayle smiled and she walked happily back to her cabin. When she arrived, she saw Lou Ellen yelling at everybody, who mostly looked timid and frightened but some looked defiant.

“I don’t give a damn if Gayle is super cool and killed CHB’s biggest bitch! I am not stepping down! I will remain head counselor forever! For eternity until Thanatos comes for me!”

“Oh yeah? Well, head counselors have to be liked! YOU are super unlikeable!” shouted a boy dressed in a black robe. Gayle recognized him as Cedric.

“No, they don’t! Drew was head counselor of Aphrodite and she was very much unliked! She only stepped down after that slut Piper came into town!”

“Don’t disrespect my bestie like that!” Gayle yelled.

Everyone turned to look at Gayle and a girl in a starry-sky patterned nightgown, Josephine, cheered.

“Yay! Gayle is here!”

“Sup y’all? I heard Lou Ellen was being as tyrannical as ever?”

“Yes! She’s being just like Kronos!”

“Ok, Llewellyn, let’s talk about it.”

“No Gayle! Especially not after you called me Llewellyn!”

“Well, you see, you’re showing how unreasonable you are because I’m willing to talk but you’re refusing to talk with me and you’re yelling.”

Everyone looked at Lou Ellen with their eyebrows arched and Lou Ellen knew she had to concede.

“Fine, what is it that you want Gayle?”

“I say we hold an election to see if the people want you or me. Deal?”

“Fine, but if I win, you can never return to Camp Half-Blood!”

“Ok but if I win, you have bathroom duty for the rest of the time that I’m here.”

“Deal! Everybody! Raise your hand if you want me to stay head counselor!”

Lou Ellen’s hand shot up enthusiastically but her hand was all alone in the air. Everyone else kept their hands down.

“Ok,” Gayle said, “raise your hand if you want me to be head counselor.”

Everyone raised their hands enthusiastically and started chanting Gayle’s name.

“K, guess that settles it, I’m head counselor now. Llewellyn go clean the bathroom. Everyone else, we’re watching Blair Witch!”

Everyone cheered and grabbed snacks, pillows, and blankets and got ready to watch the movie as Lou Ellen grabbed cleaning supplies and went into the bathroom.

Chapter Text

The next day, after breakfast, Gayle decided to take a walk to figure out how she would pull off Reyna’s death. The first question was how would she get to Camp Jupiter? The second question was how would she get close enough to Reyna to kill her? Gayle pondered these questions as she walked through camp. The day was cloudy like her mind.

She was worried she would never be able to accomplish the mission. Then, she pushed that thought away. No! I will complete this mission so I can get my hands on that pretty boy Luke! she thought. She kept brainstorming when she heard the whooshing of a spray bottle.

She looked up and saw a guy in a black leather jacket and ripped jeans spray painting the words Fuck You on the side of Cabin 4. She was confused and when she got closer to him, she saw that he had hooves instead of feet. She lightly tapped him on the shoulder and asked him, “Who are you?” The boy turned around, spit on the floor, and then replied, “The name’s Grover Underwood, I’m a satyr and I’m the biggest punk in Camp Half-Blood. Now, who the fuck are you?”

“I’m Gayle Tine, daughter of Hecate.”

“Oh, you’re the one who killed Annabeth, right?”

“Yeah.”

“That was very cool. Congrats.”

“Thanks. I have a question for you.”

“Sure, shoot it.”

“How’d you like to join me on my quest to kill Reyna Ramirez-Arellano?”

“That’ll be the coolest thing I’ve done since killing Tyson,” he said, as he lit a cigarette and started smoking.

“Perfect. Meet me tomorrow at Zeus’ Fist to discuss plans.”

“K, I’ll be there.”

Then, Gayle left to find Rachel. She knew Rachel would want to join her. Rachel was a badass and no badass would turn down a mission like this. She started smiling but then, from the corner of her eye, she saw Leo and Calypso talking.

“Hey, Leo, I just wanted to say…”

“Yeah, Calypso?”

“I have a crush on you.”

Gayle was pissed. Leo was her boyfriend and unlike Sabrina Carpenter, she was NOT known to share. She stomped over to Calypso and Leo and punched Calypso’s face, knocking over her glasses. Calypso fell down with her books and she started crying. Leo turned to Gayle and embraced her.

“Oh my precious Gayle, I didn’t even know you were here. I am so sorry. I have no feelings whatsoever for Calypso, I only love you babe.”

“Awww Leo, I love you too. Don’t worry, I know it wasn’t your fault. It was that slut Calypso’s fault. ”

They hugged and then kissed. Calypso put her glasses back on and asked, “Wait, Leo, you don’t have any feelings for me?” Leo turned away from Gayle and replied, “No, the only one I’ll ever love is Gayle and even then, you’re a nerd. Nerds aren’t my type.” Then, Leo turned back to Gayle to kiss her some more as Calypso started crying again.

Gayle and Leo kissed one more time before Gayle said, “I have to go, my fiery babe.”

“OK, see you again soon, my love.”

Gayle smiled and then walked some more before she came across Rachel and Ethan making out on a picnic blanket. Gayle cleared her throat and Rachel and Ethan turned to look at her. “Oh, Gayle, you slayed at last night’s performance,” Rachel said.

“Thanks.”

“K, so why are you here?”

“I have a secret mission and I wanna know if you want to join.”

“OK, lay it on me.”

“I’m going to go to Camp Jupiter to kill Reyna Ramirez-Arellano.”

“Ethan and I are down.”

“Perfect, see you later, Rachel!”

“Buh-bye, Gayle.”

Rachel and Ethan continued making out and Gayle went to go find Piper. Piper was her bestie so she’d definitely want in on this mission. She walked until she saw Piper wearing a Hello Kitty crop top and a red mini skirt and walking away.

“Piper, wait up!”

“Hey, Gayle, sorry girlie we can’t hang out because I have a date with my bf Lee Fletcher.”

“Oh, that’s ok because I just need to ask you something.”

“What?”

“You want to join me on my mission to kill Reyna Ramirez-Arellano?”

“Why not? Anyway, I’m going to see Lee now, he slays at archery.”

Piper walked off and Gayle remembered that Nico had invited her on a date with Will. She didn’t want to keep him waiting so she jogged to the lake. Nico had told her to meet her there because he had a surprise planned and Gayle loved surprises.

Chapter Text

Gayle arrived at the lake where Will and Nico were talking. Will spotted Gayle and then enthusiastically waved his hand and said, “Hi Gayle!”

“Hey sunshine.”

“Hello, my dark mistress,” Nico said.

“Hello to you too, my undead Adonis.”

Nico blushed and then Gayle asked, “So why’d you call us here?”

“I wanted to show y’all something. Uno! Due! Tre!”

At that moment, a black stage decorated with a skull pattern rose up out of the lake. On the stage was a group of skeletons wearing many different outfits. One was wearing a long black wig with bangs and a black 1840 style dress, most were wearing revealing red dresses and large red fedoras, two of them were wearing white angel wings, one of them was wearing red angel wings, and the last one was wearing black angel wings. Then, the familiar beat of Abracadabra started playing. At that moment, the skeletons started performing an exact copy of Gayle’s Abracadabra performance from the night before. Gayle was wonderstruck as she gazed upon the performance while Nico was wearing sunglasses and smiling.

Five minutes later, when the performance was over, Gayle’s face was still frozen in shock. Then, she brushed it off and said, “Oh my gosh! Thanks, Nico, you’re the best! But how were you able to produce an exact replica of my performance if you were just doing pot the whole night?”

Nico took a cigar out of his mouth and said, “You’re welcome Gayle. As for the performance, Will told me.” He then gestured over to Will who was waving his hand excitedly. Gayle rushed over to Nico and Will and trapped the both of them in a bear hug. “Aww, thanks guys, you two are the best!”

Then, she kissed each of them on the lips. Nico and Will kissed her back and then they all toppled to the floor. At first, they were in shock but then they laughed it off and just laid in the grass looking at the sky. “So Nico, who’s your fav artist?”

“I really love Good Charlotte and My Chemical Romance.”

“Ooh, what’s your fav song from each of them?”

“My fav song from Good Charlotte is Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and my fav song from My Chemical Romance is Welcome to the Black Parade.”

“Ah, Welcome to the Black Parade is a popular choice but l’ve never heard Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous before. Could you play it for us?”

“Sure.”

Nico snapped his fingers and a skeleton came out of the ground, gave him a guitar, and then went back down into the ground. Nico started playing the guitar and singing.

“Always see it on T.V.
Or read in the magazines
Celebrities they want sympathy
All they do is piss and moan
Inside the Rolling Stone
Talkin' about how hard life can be”

Once he was done singing, he took a bow and held out the guitar. Then, a skeletal arm reached out from the ground and took it down with it.

“Bravo Nico, you’re really good with the guitar.”

“Thanks, Gayle.”

“You’re welcome. Now Will, who’s your favorite artist?”

Will blushed and said, “My favorite artist is Taylor Swift.”

“I’m not surprised, that type of music suits you. What’s your favorite song?”

“My fav T Swizzle song is I Think He Knows.”

Then, Will burst into song.

“I think he knows his footprints
On the sidewalk
Lead to where I can't stop
Go there every night”

Will turned around happily and sang. When he was done, he fell into Gayle’s lap. “What did you think of it, girlie?” he asked. Gayle laughed and said, “I really liked it!” “Aww thanks!”

“It’s nice that you like my singing because I think it sucks.”

“No, Will, your singing doesn’t suck! I can’t believe you would even think that!”

“You really think so?”

“I know so,” Gayle said before kissing him. Will blushed and then kissed her. Then, all three of them started kissing each other before falling asleep. A few hours later, when they woke up, Gayle saw the sun setting. “Oh my gosh,” she said, “we need to get back to camp or people will think something bad happened to us!”

“Oh my gosh,” Will said, “you are so right!”

Then, the trio quickly hastened back to camp before anyone suspected anything.

Chapter Text

After dinner, everyone gathered around at the amphitheater for Rachel, Drew, and Gayle’s performance. The girls danced to the likes of My Humps by Black Eyed Peas and Temperature by Sean Paul. “Promiscuous boy, you already know that I'm all yours,” sang Rachel when Promiscuous came on. Gayle stripped down to a belly dancer’s outfit and started belly dancing. “I think you know what this is,” she sang as Tate McRae’s Sports Car played.

Then, the music changed and the background shifted to an ice rink and the girls’ outfits changed to bras and snow pants. “I would want myself,” they sang happily when Greedy started playing, “baby, please believe me!” Drew took center stage when the verse came on. “I see you eyein' me down, but you'll never know much past my name. Or how I'm runnin' this room around and that I'm still half your age.”

After the song was over, the background shifted to a bustling city and Gayle was dressed like a police officer. She then grabbed the mic and started singing. “See you so excited (Mm). You got him locked down (Mmh, yeah). You're movin' like I did (Mm) before I found out.”

Gayle finished the verse and her clothes were ripped away to reveal nothing but her bra and underwear. “And she be like, ‘He's so perfect.’ I be like, ‘Oh, what version?’ ‘Ain't nobody got me this nervous’ Oh, baby, I been there (Hey).”

Once the song was over, the girls’ outfits changed to black hooded bodysuits and Rachel started singing, “Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?” Once Don’t Cha was over, Rachel took the mic and said, “Hello, my sexy babes, the time has come for our nightly Mother Monster performance by our very own Gayle Tine!” The walls behind parted to reveal Gayle, wearing a long-sleeve black strapless dress that parted, being held up high by a bunch of people in a dark forest with statues of Hecate and Lady Gaga. Then, the people came tumbling down and Gayle, revealing her long black bangs, started singing.

“There are no more tears to cry
I heard you beggin' for life
Runnin' out of medicine
You're worse than you've ever been”

The crowd went crazy as they realized she was singing Disease. Gayle danced and when the chorus started, she dropped down to the ground and then shot up into the air.

“I could play the doctor, I can cure your disease
If you were a sinner, I could make you believe
Lay you down like one, two, three
Eyes roll back in ecstasy
I can smell your sickness, I can cure ya (cure)
Cure your disease”

Gayle got down to the ground and started dancing sensually with a guy in a black hazmat suit, black top hat, and black plague mask. “I love you, Roberto,” she told him in between song. “I love you too,” Roberto replied back. Once Gayle finished with Disease, Roberto disappeared into a black mist. “Whoa, that was crazy!” Leo said. “Yeah, I would ask if he’s single but I’m dating Lee,” Piper said and then she went back to making out with Lee.

The outfits of Gayle’s dancers shifted to grass skirts and for the girls, leafy bras. Gayle took up the mic and said, “I don’t know if you’ll get the reference but according to canon, the original duo wore fig leaves.” She then abruptly threw away the mic and started singing.

“Go get your friends and meet me on the floor
You're out of candy? I can get you mo-o-ore
You started slurrin', and I start to squeal
I'm fallin' over in my nine-inch heels”

“Oh, now it makes sense, it’s because she’s singing Garden of Eden,” Leo said. “No shit man,” Connor said. Piper rolled her eyes and said, “Boys, stop fighting, y’all need to be less dramatic like my baby Lee over here.” “Thank you, Piper,” Lee said and the two of them started making out. When Gayle sang the chorus, the dancers lifted her up as she sang.

“Take you to the Garden of Eden
Poisoned apple, take a bite”

The dancer started waving apples at people and one girl took a bite and winked at someone. Once Garden of Eden was over, Gayle clapped her hands and the set shifted to a disco club.

“We're about to be up all night
Wakin' up a zombie
So put your paws all over me
You zombieboy”

A disco ball started twirling and Gayle started dancing with a boy in a skeleton costume. Some time after a playful interaction with Gayle dressing up like a cat and her being chased by a boy in a lion costume, the song was over. “Thank you to all my dancers, good night!” Gayle, Rachel, and Drew bowed as they received a standing ovation. However, soon Chiron made his way to the stage with a look of fear on his face.

Chiron stole the mic from Gayle and said, “I’m sorry Gayle but this is urgent. Roman praetor Frank Zhang has been killed and they’re blaming us! Camp Jupiter is declaring war on us!” Then, he gave the mic back to Gayle. Gayle looked at Chiron angrily and said, “What was up with that, bitch!?”

“Everybody was happy and now they’re scared because of your idiocy!”

“Well, they have to know we’re in danger!”

“You could’ve mentioned it at dinner so the performance would’ve calmed them down!”

“You’re right, I didn’t think of that!”

“Yeah, get the fuck out of here, you stupid centaur!”

Gayle threw away the mic and stormed off with her posse.

Chapter Text

Gayle stormed off angrily as everyone else in her posse was discussing the impending war.

“That stupid-ass centaur should’ve just fucking told us about the war at dinner! That way, the performance would’ve taken everyone’s mind off it!” Gayle said, angrily.

“Well, that dumbass never thinks,” Connor said.

“I want to obliterate whoever killed Frank Zhang because now we're headed into a war we’re not ready for!” Percy said.

“Well, I could use my fire powers!” Leo said.

“I think someone should go flirt with whoever the fuck runs Camp Jupiter and while they’re flirting, the person kills the Camp Jupiter leader and we ambush them,” Piper said.

“Well, do we even know who runs Camp Jupiter?” Will asked.

“Yeah, Reyna Ramirez-Arellano,” Nico replied.

Gayle was mad about the war but then she heard Reyna’s name and the gears in her head started turning. She thought back to Piper’s plan and soon she had a bright idea. Gayle turned to Nico and asked, “Is there anyone else involved in the Camp Jupiter administration?”

Nico said, “Yeah, there’s Jason Grace, why?”

Gayle smiled deviously and said, “Interesting…anyway, I have to catch you guys later!”
Gayle sped off and the rest of her posse looked at her weirdly. Percy asked, “What was that about?”

Connor said, “I have no idea.”

Then, they continued walking back to their cabins. Meanwhile, Gayle went to the Big House and used an invisibility spell on herself. “Lelantos, grant me stealth.” Once she saw that she was invisible, she went inside. She crept around and kept a close eye, in case the Big House had protections against magic.

She crept around some more until she came across a door with Chiron’s name on it. “Perfect,” she said under her breath and then she went inside. The room was styled like a typical ancient Greek bedroom except with pictures of celebs and centaurs partying hung on the walls. There was a bookshelf filled with ancient Greek books covered in cobwebs and celebrity magazines/memoirs in mint condition. She then looked on the bed and saw Britney Spears and Madonna body pillows.

“Welp, I found what I needed. Now, I just have to go write the blackmail letter.”

She laughed and then went to her cabin, where she sat on the bed and wrote a letter to Chiron. "Dear Chiron," it read, "you know not who I am and it is better that you not. You must send Gayle Tine to Camp Jupiter so she can marry Jason Grace and thus end the conflict. If you refuse to do this like the arrogant little piece of crap that you are, I will tell all the campers that you have Madonna and Britney Spears body pillows. For your sake, I hope you make the right decision. Sincerely, Chara."

Once Gayle was done, she grabbed the letter and left it on top of his bed. She laughed to herself as she walked back to her cabin. She entered through the door to see Lou Ellen wearing a maid’s dress and mopping the floor.

“Well, well, well, if it isn’t her majesty Gayle, the queen of bitchiness.”

“Oh, be quiet you!” Gayle said, and she used magic to cover Lou Ellen’s mouth with duct tape. Then, she went to sleep.

Chapter Text

The next day, after everyone had breakfast, Chiron cleared his throat to make an announcement. Everyone started murmuring and Gayle’s half-sister Josephine looked cheerful and excited.

“Do you think he’s going to say that Camp Jupiter is no longer declaring war on us?” she asked around, excitedly.

Lou Ellen rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t be a fucking idiot, Josie, of course not. What he’s going to say is that Gayle is getting kicked out of Camp Half-Blood and I’m going to be counselor again.”

Cedric laughed and said, “Even if Gayle was kicked out, no-one would vote for you and we’d find someone new to oppose you.”

Josephine, “Yeah! Especially after you called me a fucking idiot and you called me Josie, which isn’t my name!”

Gayle finished her scrambled eggs and asked, “Lou Ellen, who the fuck even gave you permission to speak in my presence? I certainly don’t remember giving you any!”

Lou Ellen opened her mouth angrily to reply but Gayle shushed her using magic and said, “Be quiet, you varvaros, Chiron is about to speak.” Then, she and everyone else turned to Chiron to hear what he had to say. Chiron said, “Now that everyone is done being a disrespectful little bitch, a lady named Chara told me to send Gayle to Camp Jupiter to marry Jason Grace to end the war.” Calypso raised her hand and asked, “Isn’t Gayle too young to get married?” Chiron said, “Shut up, you’re just a stupid nerd and besides I really couldn’t be bothered to give a damn.”

“Now, Gayle, you’re leaving soon so go pack up and choose who the fuck you want to bring with you.” Calypso raised her hand again and asked, “Mr. Chiron, sir, why do you keep swearing?” Chiron rolled his eyes and said, “None of your fucking business, just go back to reading Sarah J Maas or something, I don’t really give a damn. Now, everyone, disperse!” Gayle teleported back to her cabin and gathered all her belongings into a black obsidian chest with her initials on it and decorated with black diamonds and symbols of Hecate.

Josephine and the other Hecate kids appeared behind her. Gayle asked, “What are y’all doing here?” Josephine squealed and said, “We came to congratulate you!” Cedric nodded and said, “To thank you for everything you’ve done, we asked the Hephaestus kids to make you this.” Cedric pulled out a black diamond necklace with a black diamond in the shape of a triple moon hanging on it.

Gayle grabbed it and gasped. Then, she started crying. “Thanks you guys,” she made out through sobs, “this is so sweet of y’all. I don’t know how to thank you guys enough.” Josephine said, “Awww, bring it here!”

Gayle and all the other Hecate kids except for Lou Ellen embraced each other in a hug. After a full ten minutes of hugging, Gayle stood up and put on the necklace. “Thank you all, I really can’t thank y’all enough. Josephine, you’re in charge while I’m away. I love y’all.”

“We love you too!” the other kids called out as Gayle walked out of the cabin. Then, Gayle started looking around for someone to carry her chest. She looked around until she spotted a muscular satyr with dirty blonde hair and a mustache who was wearing a black muscle tee and jeans. She went up to him and tapped his shoulder. The satyr turned around and asked, “What do you want?”

“Well, what’s your name?”

“The name’s Ajax, but seriously, who are you?”

“I’m Gayle Tine.”

“Oh, you’re the girl who’s going to marry the Camp Jupiter dude. What do you want?”

“I would like you to accompany me to Camp Jupiter and carry my chest.”

“What’ll you give me?”

“Well, let’s see…you think I’m pretty, don’t you?”

“Yeah, you’re really pretty.”

“I’ll give you a full makeout session later.”

“Done,” Ajax said, immediately lifting up the chest.

“Thanks for being such a dear!”

“Wait, when are we having the makeout session?”

“You’ll know when I let you know!” Gayle said, walking away. Then, she went over to Aphrodite cabin and knocked on the door.

Chapter Text

Gayle waited a few minutes before Drew opened the door. Drew was wearing a hair turban and a pink bathrobe with the initials DT on the left-hand side.

“Gayle, what are you doing here? Can’t you see I’m in the middle of something?”

“Chill, girl! I just want to see Piper!”

Drew rolled her eyes and then turned around into the cabin.

“Piper, get the hell over here! Gayle wants to see you!” she yelled.

Gayle and Drew stood there for a few moments before Piper came to the door wearing a camo pattern sports bra and shorts. Her long luscious brown hair was tied back in a French braid. A dagger was attached to her belt and she had a bag full of supplies on her shoulder.
“Well, well, well,” Gayle said, amused, “someone’s prepared!”

“Yeah, well, no-one’s messing with this badass!”

“True, true, anyway, go join Rachel and the others near the camp entrance, I’ll be there shortly.”

“K, sounds good, but I have a question.”

“Shoot.”

“Can I bring Lee with me?”

“I let Rachel bring Ethan so why not?”

“Thanks, girl,” Piper said, then she walked over to Cabin 7 to inform Lee.

Gayle smiled, watching Piper walk over to Cabin 7, and then she turned to Drew.

“Hey, Drew?”

“Say what you want to say before I go put on a facial.”

“I think Camp Jupiter might want to see our performances,” Gayle said, raising an eyebrow and smirking.

Drew gasped and then nodded. Then, she smirked. “Of course, Gayle,” Drew said, before going back inside.
