The Demigod Grand Prix: Chapter 16

Melanie was driving under the moonlight as she tried looking for any other competitors ahead of her. She had completely forgotten the ranks of the race and was just cruising hoping that no danger was ahead like that troll ? giant? Ah who cares. She was never really good in mythology like most people.

“500 meters…a head… a racer...Mona Lisa.” interrupted the Moneta Machine.

“I wonder who it is…” she pondered.

Suddenly the screen on her car’s dash showed an image of her 6 only brothers back at Camp Half-Blood holding a  rainbow cake.

“A Very happy Birthday! To a child of the rainbow godess ! I wish it to be joyful and better than all the  rest! We sing this song of merriment and celebration for our only sister dear, A very happy birthday for living for 16 years!!!” they sang as they chanted with Jazz Hands at the end of the song.

“Happy Birthday Mel!” they all yelled as they threw skittles at the Iris Message. Unexpectedly, the skittles were  able to actually hit her.

“Mom’s new tech eh?” she asked lifting one eyebrow up.

“Yup. So Happy Birthday Sis!” answered her brother, Blue.

“And in honor of our mother and you…… Guess what hour it is……” said Hyacinth.

Melanie smiled like a Cheshire Cat. “The DREADED RAINBOW HOUR!!!!!!”  the seven siblings yelled in unison.

“and since you aren’t here personally… Mom created a special IM just for today.”  informed Topaz.

“It’s portable.. It kinda looks like a cloud you know..” added Legolas.

“ Now Let’s Go and sound the rainbow horn Red!” yelled Butch as each sibling ,even Melanie, prepared a sack of the official sugary rainbow-y delicious  oblate spheroid-y  candy, that they called Skittles.

As Red blew the horn, Butch in unison yelled “In the Name of Iris, TASTE THE RAINBOW! CHARGE MEN…AND SISTER!".  Each sibling ran to a cabin carrying the rainbow sacks with each of them. Even Melanie’s IMcloud went to the exact cabin she wanted to attack, The Aphrodite Cabin….

“IN THE NAME OF MY MOTHER, TASTE THE RAINBOW, BARBIES!!!!!” she yelled as she threw skittles through the IMcloud ,each kid waking up in sheer panic.

“IT”S THE DREADED RAINBOW HOUR!!!” yelled one camper running out of the  Apollo cabin being chased by Legolas.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">“RUN!” yelled one of the Aphrodite Kids as she ran into their panic/break up room. The rest of the Aphrodite kids weren’t that witty. They just ran out into the chaos of the camp.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">“Save yourselves!”yelled  one Demeter  to the new campers  lying on the grass from over skittle-ization.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">“MEET MY LITTLE RAINBOW FRIEND!” yelled Red as he stood on the roof shooting skittles at campers  using the Skittle Gatling Gun identical to Melanie’s own one.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">Melanie was enjoying the scene of some of the campers in their pajamas and in armor trying to shield themselves from the sugary bullets. The Rainbow Chaos was just so sweet. “Best birthday ever.” She said before being rudely bumped into by another car.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">“HEY!” yelled Melanie as she looked up from the IM. “''That nice Dionysus kid who gave the juice. “ '' she thought.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">“Hello Richie. Thank You very much for spoiling my birthday fun.” She said sarcastically.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">“Look up!” he yelled.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">Melanie looked up to see the most terrifying things in the history of histories… She saw black birds… She froze at the sight of the ebony wings circling above them. Suddenly, almost in unison, all the birds flew directly at them pecking on their cars and even flying into them. Melanie tried swatting them away but they would just keep  on attacking her. Richie’s situation wasn’t  better than Melanie’s.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">“Where did they come from?!” shouted Richie

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center">“I DON’T KNOW! This can’t be one of Hephaestus’ traps right?! It’s too dangerous!” yelled Melanie back.
