Hi everyone! So I'm continuing the story now that I've figured out all of this, or at least I think I have. :) So now we're at the point in the story where Annabeth, Percy, Frank, and Hazel are on their way to Camp Half-Blood. Please read and write reviews!

Chapter 2

I can't stop smiling as I sit with Percy, Hazel, and Frank. We're at the train station in San Francisco, Waiting for our train to get here. A direct railroad between the two camps is being built, but it's on it's way. For now we'll just travel with the mortals.

"I'm going to go get a burger." Percy says. He gets up and kisses my cheek and heads over to a McDonalds across the street.
"Think I'll go with Percy." Frank says. He squeezes Hazel's hand and follows.

"What?" Hazel asks me as soon as they're gone. I can't help but notice how much she's grown in the last 2 years. She's almost as tall as me now. Her golden brown hair comes half way down her back. She now wears a magical bracelet of precious jewels, She has birthstones for each month of the year.

"Oh, Nothing. I'm just excited about going to Camp Half-Blood."

"Annabeth, spill." She says.

"Nothing to spill. I just have been having these dreams-"
"What happens in them?"
"I can't remember. I just remember Percy and the feeling that something really important was about to happen."
"Right."

"It's the truth!

"Okay." She says smirking. She knows something.

"What's going on?"

"What?"
"You know something."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Hazel. Give me a hint."
"Fine. Diamond Coral." Percy and Frank get back and sit down again.

"Sorry. Are we interrupting girl talk?" Frank asks.

"Just finished. This trip back to Camp Half-Blood is really a Hosty-Tosty idea!" Hazel says.

"Uh…..what?" Percy asks.

"It's what we would say in my time when something is a good idea."

"Okay. So Percy, does the phrase "Diamond Coral" mean anything to you?" I ask him. He looks surprised for half a second, but tries to cover it up.

"Uh, not really, no." He says. Frank laughs. Hazel just sits there smiling.

"Uh-Huh. Fine. I'll pretend I Believe you." I say. "So Frank, is Reyna okay with you leaving for the summer?" I ask him. He shrugs.

"She needed me to go anyways. See how things are operating with the Romans over there."
"I bet she's trying to find a way to make more time for herself in Camp Jupiter and New Rome so she can meet up with Aaron." Hazel says.

"I hope it works out for her. But that always confused me. Didn't Aphrodite tell her she wouldn't find love with another demigod?" I ask. Over the last couple of years Reyna has become one of my best friends. We can relate on a lot of things, being the daughters of two war goddesses, and the more I get to know her the more I realize how fun and casual she can be when she's just hanging out.

"Aaron isn't a demigod. He's the grandson of Hermes. 2nd generation." Percy tells me.

I hear a train whistle. I jump out of my seat.

"Here it comes! Here it comes!" I squeal. Then I realize I really did just have a squealy moment and try to tone it down.

We board it as soon as it stops. The conductor leads us to our room, and I fall on the bed. It feels like I'm lying on the softest cloud in the sky. I sit up and look around the room. It really is the luxury car. Fine oak furniture, carefully carved doorways. I feel the sheets beneath me. Downy sheets. It has a huge window letting sunlight in from the outside. Percy smiles at me and sits our bags down next to our beds, then falls on the bed next to me.
"Oh, I never want to get up." He says.

"This is Amazing!" I say. But I see Hazel looks a little concerned.

"Only one room for all of us?" She asks. She's been doing good adjusting to modern life, but I can tell it bothers her to be sleeping in the same room as a guy. I'm not too happy about it either, but I am not about to complain.

"It'll be okay, Hazel." I say. "You and I can have beds on one half of the room, Percy and Frank can have beds on the other. We can use My Yankee hat for invisibility when we change and the boys can change in the Bathroom." She smiles a little and nods.

"Okay, But I don't need your hat." She says and twists a stone on her bracelet. She disappears from sight. I hear her laugh and she becomes visible again.

"Woah!" Percy says. "What all does that Bracelet do?"

"Most of the stones have a power, some more than one."
"Lucky." Percy says. Hazel only nods with a smirk.

Suddenly I notice there are only three of us here. "Uh, where did Frank go?" Then I hear a yap, and see a small white bulldog puppy lying on a bed. Percy smiles and goes and scratches him behind the ear. Frank starts shaking his foot uncontrollably, although he looks like he's trying not to. Finally he just changes back to human form.

"Man, you know I hate it when you do that!" Frank tells Percy. Hazel, Percy, and I just start laughing. Eventually, Frank joins in. My stomach growls and I look at my watch. 7:30.

"Percy, didn't you say something about a dining car?" I ask him. He smiles at me.
"Yeah. It's right next door. I'm getting kind of Hungry. Let's eat."
Dinner is great. All of it is complementary, so we get to order whatever we want and as much as we want. Percy and Frank order T-bone steaks with sides of mac-n-cheese, sweet potatoes, and blueberry pie for desert. Hazel and I stick to a lighter dinner of tri-tip steak and a Cesar salad on the side. We stay there for about an hour before Percy asks me to go somewhere with him.

"Where are we going?" I ask as we walk down the halls of the train. He just smiles at me and grabs my hand.

"It's a surprise." He says. I lean into him as we walk. Finally we come to a door at the end of the hallway.

"You know how you like spending time in stables?" I nod.

"They remind me of the zoo truck. It was nasty, but it was also the first time me and you really connected."

"Well, this train happens to have a stable." He says. I smile as he opens the door. I see stalls on either side, all filled with horses. Ten of them, by my count. The smell of horse hits me. To some people it smells bad, but I like the smell. I have since I was little. A horse nickers and Percy smiles.

"What did he say?" I ask.

"He asked why a girl like you would be hanging out with me." I scratch the horse under the chin. "That's a good question." I say and look at the nameplate on his halter. "Patriot." He whinnies.

"He says he likes you. And we can hang out in his stall so if anyone comes they won't see us. Now might be a good time to tell you we're probably not supposed to be here." I laugh.
"There is a lot of things we've done we weren't supposed to." We hop into Patriot's stall, and thank the gods there isn't any horse manure. Just fresh Hay. I lay next to Percy and try not to go to sleep. The feeling of the train running across the tracks is really soothing.

"Annabeth?"

"Mmmm?"
"How do you like it in New Rome?"

"Its fine, Percy. I like it a lot. I just miss Camp Half-Blood sometimes. It was so much simpler there. Less strict and organized. More Greek. There are no Minevera children. Only Athena Children. But I do like it there. It's safer than any other place in the World. And I'm tired of all these quests and danger. We've already saved the world twice. We deserve some peace."

"I'm glad you think so. Cause I was thinking."
"That's never good."

"Ha-ha. But, I mean, we already live in New Rome. I've been thinking about re-joining the Legion." I sit up and scoot across from him. He grabs my hand. "We've all got our skill set. You're an amazing architect. And I'm good at being a soldier."
"Percy, I'll be fine with whatever you decide to do. Know that."

"Thanks. But I was thinking that during the school year I would be in the legion, and in the summer, well everyone needs a break every now and then." I kiss him for about three seconds.

"That sounds great Percy. I know you love the Legion. If you're happy with it, I'm happy with it." He leans forward and kisses me.

"Thanks. I needed to hear that." Patriot whinnies again. "You're the one who said we could use your stall." Percy says. Patriot snorts.

"What did he say this time?"
"Get a room." I laugh

We leave the stables soon after that. We walk back to our car, and Frank and Hazel are already asleep, Frank as a bulldog. Percy goes to the bathroom to change and I slip on my Invisibility cap (Which finally started working again after we defeated Gaea) and change into Pajamas. I knock on the bathroom door and Percy lets me in as soon as he's dressed so I can brush my teeth. He goes right after me, and by the time he comes out, I'm lying in bed. He kneels over me.

"Night Wise Girl. When you wake up, We'll be in Long Island." He says. I smile at him.

"You don't know how early I'll be up."

"Okay, then by the time I get up we'll be in Long Island."

"Yeah, that makes way more sense." I say. He kisses my forehead and goes across the room to his bed. I roll over on my side and try to sleep, dreading any nightmares that might come. I wish I could do what Reyna does and control them like her, but I can't. I almost always wake up in a cold sweat. But for some reason tonight, I don't think I'll have any. I just have a feeling all my dreams will be good and pleasant tonight. So I close my eyes find that sleep is warm and inviting, and before I know it, I've accepted the Invitation.

Okay so that's it! I hope Y'all had as much fun reading it as I did Writing it! Now I have had a big case of writers block lately and so I hope this turned out okay. Write a review and let me know!
