So thanks for reviewing. Keep on reviewing for the story's sake.

Anyway enjoy chapter 2!

Chapter 2

"So wait, Rick is an adopted child of Poseidon?" Percy asked staring at me in shock.

I had been explaining Authorers and Authoresses to Percy and he had somehow shifted the conversation to Rick. So I told him that Rick was the adoptive child of Zeus, Hera, Hestia, Hades, Persephone, and Poseidon. I know, that sounds crazy but the gods really like Rick.

"And Zeus, and Hera, and Hestia, and Hades, and Persephone." I replied.

"How'd he get so many gods to like him?" Percy asked.

"He wrote about them." I replied and then I smiled and said. "But that's not as shocking as what an Authorer named Henry did."

"What did he do?" Percy asked.

"He got Artemis to adopt him." I replied and then I added. "He got the man-hater to like him enough to adopt him."

"Wow." Percy said in awe.

"Yeah wow." I agreed before saying. "The younger ones always get the gods and goddesses to adopt them."

"So you've been adopted?" Percy asked.

"No, I haven't met the gods and I have no plan to either." I snapped.

"You don't like them?" Percy asked, a little taken aback.

"The only gods/goddesses that I actually like are Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, and Artemis." I replied. "And I'm not a big fan of any of their Roman forms."

"Not even Neptune?" Percy asked raising an eyebrow.

I shuddered and said.

"Can't stand him."

"Why?" Percy asked.

"Once Rick tells you about Neptune, you can never think of him in the same way ever again." I said. "Even you wouldn't like him."

"I find that hard to believe." Percy said.

"It's true, Rick has a habit of talking about a character's worst qualities before talking about their good qualities." I said and then I glanced at the clock. It was 1:39 PM. We were supposed to meet Rick and the Stolls in twenty-one minutes.

"We have to go, Percy, Rick will be waiting." I said standing up.

"Fine, but we're finishing this conversation." Percy said.

"Just go." I said walking out the door.

"I will if you actually wait!" Percy said and I laughed as I ran outside to the car.

Five minues later, Percy was driving the car extremely fast. If you're wondering why I let him drive, it's because I'm only fifthteen and four monthes and can't even get my learner's permit yet. Curse age!

Anyway, Percy was driving and I was hanging on for dear life. I know you're probably thinking 'Didn't The Last Olympian say that Percy was a good driver?'. Let's just say that somebody (Rick) didn't count on the fact that Percy was not in a rush. So I was holding on for dear life and yelling at Percy.

"DRIVE SLOWER!"

"Aren't we in a hurry?" Percy asked.

"Yes but I don't want to die!" I snapped.

"Fine, you're no fun." Percy said letting off the gas.

I glared at him and then I took control of the wheel. I smirked thinking 'Oh yeah, Authoress powers beat any other kind of power'.

"LILY!" Percy yelled as the wheel turned onto a different road without him turning it.

"Hey if you be annoying, I take control of the car." I replied smiling.

"Do you even know how to drive?" Percy asked.

"Yes, I just can't actually be in the driver's seat because I don't even have my learner's permit." I replied. "Though I'm learning how to make myself look older and how to make a driver's license appear."

"Now I wish I was an Authorer." Percy muttered.

"Sorry, Percy, but you're two much of a kelp head to be an Authorer." I said smiling.

"Hey!" Percy complained while I just snickered.

-This is a Line Break, not just a bunch of dashes-

When we finally got to the meeting place, Percy opened the door before I had even stopped the car. I guess he was really excited to see a couple of familiar faces.

"Hey Travis, Connor!" Percy shouted running over to the two boys.

I stopped the car and got out before walking over to Rick.

"He looks happy to see them." Rick commented.

"Well he hasn't seen a familiar face in two weeks so he would be." I agreed and then I lowered my voice and asked. "Are we any closer on finding a way to get them home?"

"No." Rick replied sounding frustrated. "I've tried everything."

"Even the portals?" I asked.

"They only work for us not them." Rick replied before saying. "I don't get it. Why can't we get them back home?"

"Maybe we're not thinking of everything." I said and then I snapped my fingers and suggested. "Why don't you ask Athena."

"I did, she doesn't know." Rick replied.

"There has to be something!" I exclaimed getting frustrated.

"Don't worry, Lily, we'll get them home." Rick said encouragingly.

"I hope so, Rick, I hope so." Lily said.
