AN: this story takes part after book 6. Hope it won't be cliché or OCC (whatever that is)! YS

"Dan! Are you awake yet?" Asked Amy, while she was shaking Dan's arm.

"OK, OK! I am UP!" muttered Dan, and sat on the hotel bed. They just found a hint in Indonesia after they almost BURNED ALIVE.

"Now, why did you wake me up in 2 AM?" he yelled at her.

"While you were sleeping, I tried to solve this hint that we found:

'Find the palace of the ancient empire, floor 600, in the tower,

And their heroes,

Now try to not to bother,

While you take theirs metal weapons'"

"What empire they are talking about? And what heroes?" asked Dan, curious.

"Well, it says 'empire' and 'tower'. Maybe it is talking about The Empire State tower, but it doesn't HAVE 600 floors. Just 102" answered Amy, wondering.

"Well, but it says to go there, so we will" decided Dan, "Let's tell Nellie!"

About an hour later

Dan, Amy and Nellie walked to the airplane. Nellie was listening to a song in her iPod. Dan thought about ninjas. Amy just looked around her. In the line to their airplane, she saw a boy about 16 with black hair and sea-green eyes holding hands with a girl that had blonde hair and stormy grey eyes. They both looked worried. I hope they aren't Cahills. They look dangerous, thought Amy. The boy was holding a small pen like it can save his life. The girl had a Yankee baseball cap in her hand. She kept looking around, and saw the last thing she wanted to see.

A small family, a mother and her son and daughter, were buying tickets. They got 2, and the mother left her children and walked away. Then, the sibling turned around, and Amy saw the last people on the planet she wanted to see. They both had caramel skin and dark hair, and amber colored eyes.

The Kabra sibling, Ian and Natalie, walked to the same line that the Cahill siblings were in.

"Dan! LOOK!" whispered Amy to her brother, "Cobras alert!"

"Oh no. we are going to get killed by Amy's BOYFRIEND and his sister!" Said Dan to Nellie, "We need to get in the plane before they would have spotted us!"

"He is NOT my boyfriend!" said Amy angrily.

The three moved on with the line, while trying to look invisible. When they got into the plane, Amy found out that the weird couple she saw before sat in front of then. She felt a little bit guilty, but she decided to listen to their conversation.

"Oh gods! I hate to fly!" wait, did he say gods?

"Relax Percy. Zeus promised that he won't blast you out from the sky" when she said Zeus she meant to the Greek god of the sky? That impossible! He doesn't exist!

"I know Annabeth, but I still prefer Blackjack over this nightmare!" who's Blackjack?

"I know you do," said the girl, probably Annabeth, "but you can't torture the poor Pegasus for this long distance!" Pegasus? Did she say Pegasus?

"So why couldn't we sail? You know my dad will protect the ship" how can he protect a ship? He is a god or something?

Ding Dong!

"Attention passengers. We will be taking off in a few minutes. Please, wear your seat belts." The captain said.

After the take off, Amy went to the bathroom. She saw this Annabeth girl entering the toilet so she waited outside. Then she heard Annabeth saying,

"Dear god, please accept this gift from me! Chiron, Half-Blood Camp!" Half-Blood camp? What is it?

Before she could hear the rest of what Annabeth were doing in the toilet, she felt someone grabbing her wrist. She turned around and saw a boy, around her age, with caramel colored skin, dark brown hair and eyes in the color of amber.

"Hello, love. Did you miss me?" said Ian Kabra, with a silky British accent.

AN: I know, I know, the "Hello love" is a cliché, but what else could he say? 3 YS
