Percy's POV

Every one was tense. They all needed time to let loose and enjoy for a few hours, but how to do that. It's not like going to New Rome isn't fun, but they really needed to get out. Percy could tell some of the others felt trapped. Oh! Why didn't he think of it before? They could all go to San Francisco, a night on the town or whatever. It would be great, if they could avoid monsters and get Reyna's approval. Percy went to find the others and see what they thought of his brilliant plan.

They were all huddled together, talking about Percy's idea. Leo, Annabeth and Frank were in favor; Jason, Piper, and Hazel were still undecided. They had already though come to a silent agreement. If one person didn't want to go then no one was going.

"What about all the monsters? They aren't just going to forget about us." Hazel argued.

"Well that's part of it. The risk will make it exciting and worth it." Annabeth said. Percy was glad she had joined his side. His argument hadn't been going to well.

"So we risk our lives and the world for what? Dinner?" Piper asked.

"No" Leo put in, "we'd do more than dinner. We'd go to the movies and maybe the beach. It would be like a date."

"Then Leo, you would be the only one without a date." Piper said.

"So it wouldn't be a date," Leo said, sullen, "but at least we'd still get out of this prison. I mean camp."

Jason hadn't said anything this whole time. "We should go. It would be good to get out. We'll go crazy if we stay locked up in here surround by war plans."

"Why do you have to make such a convincing argument? I have to be for this idea now, because I know for sure I will go crazy if I stay in here much longer." Hazel said.

"Piper that leaves just you. If you don't want to go we won't." Percy said.

"Fine, I'll go, but if any one gets killed it's not my fault."

"Great, better take as many weapons as possible though, just in case." Percy said.
