Demigod Rescue Team
Percy was sitting in the Pavilion on his 17th birthday remembering a year ago. Exactly…he checked his wristwatch, 365 days, 12 hours, and 5 minutes ago. That was the exact time that he got together with his girlfriend, Annabeth Chase. It has been the happiest year of his life. She would visit him every time her school was on vacation. She couldn't do it as often as he would like because of Olympus but he loved seeing her anyways.
She was supposed to come to camp today. He was extremely excited. He hadn't seen her for a month since their date to The Amazing Spiderman. They ended up getting attacked by a seven foot monster. Percy missed her. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he felt a pair of hands cover his eyes and a breath on his neck whisper, "Miss me?" Percy spun around and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer.
Annabeth's hands wove through his hair as she kissed him passionately. She smiled and basically melted into his arms. She had missed him too much to admit. After they pulled away, Annabeth was breathing hard while Percy stood there smirking and watching what an effect he had on her. She smacked his arm and blushed. She pulled him by the arm towards the big house, "Come on, Seaweed Brain, Chiron wants to see us."
"Why?"
"I don't know for sure. It might be a new quest or a new camper. At least we get some excitement this summer. It shouldn't be that bad." She lead him into the big house and Chiron was standing in full centaur form in the sitting room. Annabeth cleared her throat.
"Hello, Children." greeted Chiron.
"Why did you need to see us?" Percy asked.
" We need you to find us some more campers. We need more warriors. I had Hermes take a list of Demigods all around the US we need to find and where to find them." Chiron handed a large file the size of a dictionary to Annabeth.
Her jaw nearly fell to the floor when saw how much they had to do. "It shouldn't be that bad." Percy mocked Annabeth's previous statement. Unfortunately, she heard him and hit him in the small of his back. He yelped and jumped in the air. "Not fair!" She stuck her tongue out at him and he just groaned.
Chiron chuckled at the two, "Since this is a large assignment, you are allowed to bring three more demigods, a satyr, and a mortal. The camp and the gods have provided a means of transportation. It is enchanted. From the outside, it looks like a regular tour bus. But on the inside it is basically a house with eight rooms and bathrooms. There is an extra bedroom for the Demigods that you will be picking up. Each room is specifically designed for the user.
"Awesome!"
Annabeth rolled her eyes and asked, "When do we start?"
"Tomorrow. I will give you the rest of the day off so you can pack and get everyone together."
The demigods walk out od the big house carrying the humongous folder full of at least 250 sheets of paper. "This is going to take forever. How many names are on each sheet?"
"Stop being such a baby. There's only…45…per…page." She slowed down as she realized how many people that was and her brain began calculating and she began to feel light headed. She kept her cool and said, "I have an idea about who we take."
"Who?"
"Thalia, Nico, Grover, Rachel…I don't know the last one."
"Rachel can go on quests?" Percy asked, curiously.
"Um…I think. We should ask."
"All we need is one more half-blood and we can tell chiron to get the bus ready."
Annabeth started to think, "Well, lets think about this, Travis and connor stoll could be useful but they are twins and come as a package. Silena doesn't exactly give us anything but she is a single person. There's Will Solace, hes a really good archer and the best healer in the Apollo cabin. But if we run into a monster, than Clarisse can help us fight. She is the best fighter in the Ares cabin." She sighed, frustrated.
Percy stood there and smiled as he said simply, "Well then, it is obvious to us that we should choose Will."
Annabeth's head snapped up to his face and she looked shocked, "Why not Clarisse?"
Percy leaned forward like he was talking to a five year old, clearly enjoying the fact that he out thought an Athena kid for once, " We have the big three with us, we don't need another fighter. With will, we can just fight and have him heal us and we can do it over again. We can even teach him to fight close combat if he wants."
Annabeth thought it over and nodded as she looked impressed, "Im impressed, Seaweed Brain. You actually thought."
"Im full of surprises, Annabeth."
"Oh really? Like what?"
"They wouldn't be a surprise if I told you. Now would they?" She laughed and followed him to the Lake so that they could hang out alone before having to talk to Chiron.
