Percy POV

"Perseus Jackson!" I spin around to face the source of the voice calling my name, narrowly missing Annabeth's face with Riptide. Dionysus stood in the entrance to the arena, not looking too happy. "Come with me now." I kiss Annabeth on the cheek and follow Mr. D to the Big House. "Close the door, Johnson." I close the door and I turn to see Chiron standing by Mr. D.

"Hey Chiron, what's up?"

"We have a quest for you." I nod and cross my arms over my chest.

"Let me get Annabeth and the others so we can discuss this as a group." I say as I turn to the door.

"No." Mr. D growls and grape vines run up the door, and wrap around the handle, preventing me from opening the door. I spin around to look at them.

"What do you mean?" Chiron clears his throat and looks pointedly at Mr. D, who sighs and snaps his fingers. A Diet Coke appears on the table and he grabs it and opens it with a loud pop.

"Perseus Johnson, we have a quest for you that requires the utmost secrecy." I sit down in a chair and lean forward.

"What do I have to do?" Chiron sighs and runs a hand through his wispy hair.

"There is a girl who lives in Maryland that you need to find and bring back here." I sit back in my chair and fold my arms over my chest.

"Why?" I ask, looking into his face.

"She is a child of the Big Three and her father has specifically requested you and Jason to go get her."

"Jason? Why him but no one else?" Thunder rumbles outside and I look up at the ceiling. Mr. D glares at the ceiling and points at me.

"Because the Lord of the Sky asked for you two and you don't question the Zeus."

"Zeus asked for me?"

"Apparently." Mr. D sighs and stares at his fingernails.

"Percy you leave tonight. Don't tell anyone about the quest except Jason. Leave now and prepare." I nod and leave the house. I run down to Zeus's cabin where I know I'll find Jason.

Jason POV

"Jason where are you going?" Piper knocks on the door to my cabin and lets herself in. I was throwing clothes into a duffel bag and not even bothering to check if the clothes matched. I look up at my beautiful girlfriend and I smile at her.

"I can't tell you, Pipes. But I won't be gone for long." She pouts and I straighten up. I wrap my arms around her and pull her towards me. Her head rests against my chest and she hugs me around my stomach. I breathe in the scent of her hair and crush her tightly to my chest before letting her go.

"Jason… I wish you didn't have to go," She looks into my eyes and I can see tears forming in the corners of her beautiful eyes. "It just hasn't been long since the giant war, we are still coming to grips with Leo… and Frank and Hazel are busy, I wouldn't know whom to talk to." I put my hands on her shoulders and kiss her on the forehead.

"You'll be fine Pipes, you're beautiful and strong and independent and I'll be back soon. I love you." She smiles sadly and kisses me on the lips. I look up as Percy busts in the room, panting and smirking.

"Remember the rule, Grace, keep your girlfriend out of your cabin unless ya got some witnesses."

"Shut up, Jackson!" I threw my pillow at him and he dodges, still smirking his signature smile. "What do you want?" His combat face replaces his smirk and his mouth hardens.

"Chiron says there's been a change of plans. We gotta go now." I sigh and pick up my duffel and my sleeping bag. I give Pipes one last kiss and follow the son of the sea god out the door.

Percy POV

Chiron gave us a ship. A SHIP. He really knew me well. I pace around on the hull of the Olympian and inspect my new baby. It was seriously perfect. I look down at Chiron and Annabeth and wave.

"Looks great!" Annabeth smiles sadly up at me a blows me a kiss. I look deep into her beautiful gray eyes and wink. She blushes and looks away. Jason walks on the ship and throws his duffel bag down the steps.

"Ready to go, mate?" I shoot him a dirty look and he puts his hands up and doubles over in a fit of laughter.

"Let's just get out of here. Faster we get this chick, faster we can get home." Jason nods and I put my hands over the console. The ships motor starts and when I hear the purr of my baby's engine I smiled. I was home. The boat pulls away from the dock and off we were.
