(Hope I didn't go far from the original goal)
Hazel, Thalia, Piper, and Annabeth formed a band one day because they hoped to leave their life and tour the world. After a turn of events, their life ends up being pretty great. What'll happen when their record company wants them to go on tour? Will they go, or will they stay? (Percabeth, Jiper, Frazel, and Thaleo)
Annabeth was not pleased with the news she heard. The first message she received in the morning was for her and the girls to visit Aoide Records. Over the last couple of weeks they were performing on both private and public events, and the entire band was hoping for at least few days of break (Annabeth especially, since that was her only chance to see Percy). Instead, when she, Thalia, Piper, and Hazel all arrived at their recording company, the first revelation she heard made her almost spit out the water she was drinking.
“You want us to go where!?”
The company’s CEO, a young blonde man wearing an expensive-looking leather jacket, yellow t-shirt, and aviator shades, beamed her a dazzling smile.
“Barcelona,” he repeated. “I’ve heard it’s quite lovely this time of the year; I’m sure you’ll be adored there! And it’s going to be a wonderful promotion tour.”
He clasped his hands and looked around from one girl to another. All of them had rather vague expressions. Finally, Annabeth spoke again.
“Listen, Apollo…”
“Ekhm...” The CEO cleared his throat and looked at the daughter of Athena from behind his shades. He gently nudged his head towards the people in the hallway; managers, sound crew, and other performers. “We’re not alone, Miss Chase.”
“I mean… Mr. Lite, we agreed for this ‘tour’,” Annabeth made air quotes with her fingers, “as long as it was only around the country. Don’t you think that going overseas might be a little… difficult in our current state?”
“I’m sure it’s gonna be fine.” Mr. Lite smiled again. “I'll send you all the details soon. Now run along, get a good rest, enjoy the rest of the week off! We have Europe to conquer!”
***
"So, are we going or not?" Piper was the first one to speak, after the girls left the studio. They all agreed that after hearing this they all needed coffee (and chocolate, in Hazel's case). "I mean, we agreed for this feint only for the sake of the quest, but now we're going to cross the ocean again."
"The Senate is not going to be happy about this." Hazel added. "So close to the Ancient Lands? Last time was a must, but now?"
"Now it's a must, too," Annabeth replied. "Two months after Gaea's defeat and we still hadn't hunted down all of her minions. All the monsters roaming free, all the Ancient heroes that pledged their allegiance to her... And now we learn that they are leaving the country."
"Your Senate will have to deal with it," Thalia said. "The sooner we end this whole pretending the better. Seriously, why did you have to pair me up with Valdez of all people?!"
"It was my mom's idea." Piper raised her hand slightly. "She said that we all need to have 'secret lovers' for the media to talk about, and since you're the only one without a boyfriend..." She looked at the daughter of Zeus apologetically. "I'll treat you for lunch after we're done with all of this. For a week."
"I guess that means we're going?" Hazel asked, and looked at Annabeth.
Daughter of Athena nodded. "No choice. Let's meet up with the boys and see how their part of the quest goes."

'Ssssh, it's okay. It's going to be okay. You're among friends,' John T. Elf whispered to the tree, placing a thick, cosy blanket over some branches.
'It - it was awful,' The tree whimpered, a pathetic and unwelcome shudder running through its colossal, age-worn trunk.
'Please, if you could just explain what happened,' John said quietly, worried that his voice would cause the wooden behemoth to tumble to the ground in a great pile of elf-crushing leaves and branches.
'First,' The tree sniffed. 'First she started with the questions.'
'That's awful,' John said, not getting it.
'I don't even know what a Galadriel is! Why would she ask me?!' The tree moaned, releasing a great, rustling sob.
'It's okay, it's okay,' John said, carefully pouring some of his tea on the tree's roots.
'Thank you,' The tree whimpered, soaking the tea into its roots with a faint 'Schhwooooorp'* noise.
'She began - began,' The tree paused. 'My bark...'
'She ran her fingers over your bark?' John asked, face wrinkled with horror.
'The ridges... wisdom and strength, all of it.'
'This will not do,' John hissed, standing. He was getting it.
'I will find her.'
'Be careful,' The tree whispered. 'She has taken much from me. She is no longer lite...'
'What is she?' John asked, gripping his spear in vengeful hands.
'Elleth Heavy.' †
*Trees actually sound like this when they absorb tea. Try it.
†This is the second funniest joke I've made in fifteen years. If you think that's good, wait until you see the first funniest one.

4 Kid Icarus: Kid Icarus Uprising 2: Hades Revenge
New angle Cloud joins Pit in a new aventure with plot twists, acton, and a batle for the very word. Rated T for curses, but it wil be gods sayin dem, so it's funy. I hav a covar know, makin tis stroy is evan butter!
Because there had to be at least one response for my favorite fandom aside from Pokemon. :D
----------
"Lady Palutena?"
"Yes, Pit?"
"What is this weird pointy thing with spiky blond hair doing here in your temple?"
Palutena looked first at her servant, who was standing at the door to her chamber, and then at the corner in front of her. She chuckled before responding, "Pit, this is Cloud Acton. He's a New angle, and he'll be joining you in... How do I word this..."
She pulled out her spectacles and put them on before reading the letter she had receieved that morning. "...a new 'aventure' with plot twists, acton, and a batle for the very word. Either the writer of this message has questionable grammar, or we're going to be fighting to protect grammar itself."
"Who am I supposed to see, then? The god of language?" asked Pit, fluffing his wings indignantly. "I don't even know how to read!"
"You? Illiterate?!" Cloud looked about as surprised and slightly insulted as an acute spiky-haired angle could get. "Everyone and their DOG knows how to read, you idiot! Why haven't you learned how yet?"
"You'll have to do that very, very quickly," said Palutena. "We may have to round up some missing letters across the land... Perhaps there may be some running around right now that have escaped this very message!"
Right on cue, a stray lowercase letter d ran by. Pit and Cloud followed it with their gazes, speechless, and then looked back to her.
"Anything else we need to know?" asked Cloud. "I could use a little help if I am to gain any more dimensions than this."
"Apparently, we're supposed to be saying curses now, us gods I mean. Does that mean I get to turn whomever's causing all these letters to fly off the sheets."
"Hades? That's my first guess," said Pit.
The letter d ran up to Palutena's leg and muttered something, accompanied by a lowercase i. She pursed her lips. "No, not Hades... Hades Revenge. No relation to the Hades we defeated, apparently. It seems that all the letters are whispering this person's name out of fear."
"But why would Hades Revenge want to scare away all these letters?" asked Cloud.
"One way to find out," said Pit. "I'll go get my Orb Staff. It's about time I learn how to spell!"
I don't know any of these canons well enough to write by

But I do know enough Percy Jackson fans to know that those names in brackets aren't OCs; they're ship names. Percabeth is Percy/Annabeth, and the others are. . . Google says Jason/Piper, Frank/Hazel, and Thalia/Leo. I don't know who hald those characters are, but I assume anyone actually familiar with the canon would.
--Key is tempted to write one of these anyway

Dr. Henry.Wu has created a new hybrid. The same problem as the indominus rex happens and they must stop it. Read and find out. Please R&R
"You called?"
Claire Dearing turned away from the window and smiled warmly at Owen Grady. "And you came."
Owen gave her a lopsided smile. "I do that. What's up?"
Claire grimaced and half-turned, gesturing out of the window. "They let Dr. Wu back into the lab."
Owen stared at her. "Tell me it's not another hybrid."
"I would if I could." Claire walked up to the glass and pressed her hand against it. "Only trouble is, it's not showing up on the cameras."
"... did you let him use frog DNA again? I thought there was a general conclusion that no good has ever, ever, ever come of that."
"I didn't let him do anything," Claire snapped. "The new CEO-"
"I hear he's been making unauthorised helicopter flights," Owen cut in. "Sounds... familiar."
"I swear, it's just like having Mr. Masrani back." Claire sighed and looked down at her tablet computer. "And Mostly Cretaceous World is full to capacity... all I need now is for my sister to call and say Zach and Gray are coming down-"
Claire's phone buzzed. Her eyes widened, and her gaze snapped to Owen as she pulled it from her pocket and put it to her ear.
"... hello?" A voice on the other end, and Claire slumped in relief. "Oh, Vivian, yes, hello. I was wondering if you'd had a chance to pull together those files...?"
Owen tapped the glass that looked out into the apparently-empty pen. "Claire?" he said. "What do you want to do about this?"
Claire covered the phone's mouthpiece. "It'll show up soon enough," she hissed. "What, do you think I'm going to open the doors? Honestly, Owen, I do learn from experience." She rolled her eyes and turned back to the phone. "Uh-huh. Uh-huh. That sounds good. - wait, my sister did what?"
A reminder that a) you can still do this one even though I have, b) you should fill a plothole, and c) concrit is appropriate even for these little stories.
