I trudged to the dinner table after a long day of fighting in the arena and losing. Why won't Chiron let us go home yet. I mean we defeated the Titan Army and saved Olympus. Why can't we get the school year off? But no, we have to spend every waking moment training and training and training and building and training, you get my point. The only person who gets off is Seaweed Brain. He needs to sleep at least 14 hours a day in order to be fully awake and ready because of his bath in the Styx. So Chiron decided to let him go home. Don't get me wrong I love Seaweed Brain but shouldn't he have to suffer like the rest of us. Any way, with my food piled high I headed off to the Athena table and sat next to Molly, my half-sister. Well more like my sister. With Thalia and Seaweed Brain gone, we hang out like 24/7. We all sat patiently waiting for the announcements to begin so we could eat. Molly whispered to me, "Jake told me he's sending us home!" My insides began to tingle. See when we go home I'll be going to an all girl's boarding school in New York so I can over-see the repairs to Mount Olympus. And it's right down the street to Percy's school. Suddenly I began to gain my energy back waiting for Chiron to speak.

After what seemed like a millennium he finally spoke, "Campers I have joyous news. After a few months It seems safe for you to return home." He finished with a smile. Loud cheers erupted from the tables. I looked around seeing all the happy campers, but my eyes landed on the Hades table. There sat one lone emo kid with his one expression a day face. Today it seemed to be depression. It actually seemed to be that everyday. Well, I'll cheer him up after I pack. I quickly made an offering to the gods and ate what ever was left. After I was done molly and I happily bounced to our cabin.

Argus was currently speeding down the road just outside of Manhattan. He offered to take me to my new dorm since I didn't officially have my license, that's what boyfriends are for. Anyway, I am so looking forward to seeing Percy… and of course Mount Olympus. In a matter of minutes Percy and I will be on our first real date. He IM me last night saying he'd meet me at my dorm at 3:15. I glanced over at the clock for the millionth time. It read 3:10. I told Argus to step on it. He was now going 95mph on a 60mph road. Well, at least I got there within a matter of seconds.

I walked in with my stuff and asked the MBGW (Malibu Barbie Gone Wring) receptionist where my room is. She gave me my papers and pointed to the elevator. After that, she quickly returned to Days of Our Lives" on her iPod. There were some kids on campus but most of them went home for the 2 week vacay. After I located my room, dumped my stuff not even checking what it looked like, I raced downstairs not bothering to wait for the elevator. As soon as I got there Percy walked through the door. He was just as handsome as I remember. Instantly I got lost in his eyes. I didn't even notice he was in front of me until he said, "Hey Wise Girl, hellhound got your tongue?"

"What??? Oh, hey seaweed Brain. What are we doing tonight?" I said as my face turned bright red.

"Well, I thought we could go see a movie The Lightning Thief." His gorgeous voice said, "My friend Cassidy said it was awesome" What? Who was this Cassidy girl?

"Sure," trying to mask my anger, "What's it about?"

"To tell you the truth, I have no idea but doesn't it ring a bell?" Percy asked his voice full of curiosity. He looked at me expectantly like I was supposed to know the answer, which I was. But right now I'm too angry about this Cassidy to really concentrate. But it did ring a bell. Well I can't let Percy think I don't know the answer.

"Nope, never heard of it before." I lied, "Anyway how could I? I've been at camp for the past six months working my butt off for nothing while you're here doing nothing."

Seaweed brain smiled and whispered in my ear, "well, don't forget I am the HERO of the world!" I rolled my eyes and dragged him outa there.

"Two tickets to see the Lightning thief." Percy as the sales girl. She looked our age. Keeping her bent over her cell phone texting Zeus knows who. Only after she handed us our tickets did she look at us. She was cute with strawberry blonde hair and almost red eyes. She was in all designers. Her face was sprinkled with freckles and had almost white skin. I quickly classified her under the Possible Threat to Me for my Boyfriend column. She looked at me, clearly not impressed and turned to Percy. She gasped but quickly recovered. "What the heck are you doing here?! Aren't you supposed to be in LA at the premier," The cute girl said with a hint of bitterness in her voice, "Fighting off hellhounds and Poseidon knows what?" she said sarcastically. Obviously a demigod. I mean who else would know about a hellhound? I guess Percy figured that to because he said, "I already saved the world last month." I saw her roll her eyes and mutter something underneath her breath. It sounded like "egomaniac star." On that note we walked away to go stand in the snack line.

"I wonder who her parent is." I asked Percy.

"And I thought you were the smart one," He joked.

"At least I'm not a big headed fool," I shot back. That shut him up. After a few minutes I asked him, "What premier was she talking about?" Since Percy is now the "savoir of the world" the gods and goddesses have been asking him to stuff their "mortal selves" were involved in such as movie premiers, grand openings, ect.

"Nothing exciting, I'll tell you over dinner."

"Percy."

"What?"

"You forgot something." He got a worried look on his face as he franticly searches his jean pockets. I laughed as I pulled him into a kiss. When we we're done I answered Percy question that showed on his face, "You forgot my welcoming kiss Seaweed Brain." I said with a laugh.

After we paid for our snacks, we walked into the theater and sat down to wait for the movie to start.
