I walked up to Chiron. He was still eating his dinner.

"Ah. Hello Percy. I need to talk to you in private. Would you mind coming to the Big House with me?"

"Sure," I said, following him. Before I knew it we were outside the building. Chrion gestured for me to go in.

"So what do you plan to do about Kronos?" he asked.

I told him about Nico's idea, from start to finish. The whole thing took about five minutes.

"I see," he finally said. "That just might work."

"Might?" I asked.

"Ah, yes, you see, even Nico admitted it. This is just a guess, so if it doesn't, you'll probably end up dead."

"Oh." That was all that I could say on.

"I guess you should probably take up a quest. Are you willing to do this?"

"Of course," I responded immediately.

"Very well. Go and consult the Oracle then."

I walked up the stairs and opened the trap door to the attic. The room was still cluttered with junk, and the mummy was still sitting on a three-legged stool by the window. As I approached it started speaking to me.

I am the spirit of Delphi, Speaker of the prophecies ofPhoebus Apollo, slayer of the mighty Python.The Oracle looked at me with it's cold, dead eyes. Approach, Seeker, and ask.

I gulped and took a step forward. "What must I do to stop Kronos?"

The Oracle's mouth opened, and the green mist poured out. I saw a vague image of Kronos/Luke, standing in front of me. It looked so real I almost raised Riptide to defend myself. The Oracle spoke:

Three shall go west to the Lord of Time,

To make him atone for his terrible crime,

A plan prevails,

Another plan fails,

One shall be offered the greatest bait,

For all heros must decide their own fate.

Then the mist swirled and retreated back into the mummy's mouth. I took a deep breath and walked back down the stairs to Chrion.

"So? What did it say?" he asked anxiously.

I repeated what the Oracle said. "I'm not sure what it means though," I said.

"Well, three people will go to Kronos. That much is obvious. Then it says that your plan could work or fail. I don't know what it means by the greatest bait," Chrion mused. "At least it doesn't say that anybody will die."

"Yeah," I said. "But if our plan fails we'll end up dead or worse."

"That's just a risk you must take. I need you to choose your two companions. You will leave first thing in the morning."

"Wait!" I said. "I don't even know where to go."

"Ah." Chrion turned back to me. "My best guess would be that you need to go to Mount Oryths, in California."

"That makes sense," I said. "But why would Kronos go there?"

"Most likely resting his troops, or trying to free Atlas," Chrion replied. "In any case, it's your best guess." With that he trotted back outside to get the campers ready for Capture the Flag.

I walked outside to the cool night air. There was about 20 minutes until Capture the Flag, so everyone was trying to get their armor on. I knew that I wouldn't be able to play, though. I needed to choose who would come with me and pack. I walked over to where Grover was standing.

"So? How did it go?" he asked.

"Well I got a quest. You in?"

"Of course!" Grover shouted.

I smiled, relieved. "Okay, go pack and everything, we leave tomorrow morning."

"Cool." He trotted off to go gather his things.

I walked over to my cabin, thinking about who else I would take on this quest. I wanted to say Annabeth, I mean, we had gone on all of our quests together, but something was holding me back. I wasn't sure what though. I walked into my cabin to see Tyson cleaning.

"Brother!" he shouted gleefully. He gave me a hug, but managed not to crack any bones.

"Hey Tyson," I said. A sudden thought struck me. "Do you want to go on a quest with me?"

Tyson looked at the ground sadly. "Can't," he said. "Tomorrow going back to forges."

"Oh," I said. "I thought that dad wanted you to stay here."

Tyson looked back up at me. "Daddy say let you make bad people up here go BOOM! and I go and help make weapons."

I smiled. "That's cool." I quickly put my stuff in a bag. I looked at the clock. 5 minutes until Capture the Flag starts. I sprinted out to see Annabeth talking to her boyfriend.

"Oh, hi Percy," she said. "Percy, this is Chris."

I shook his hand. "Nice to meet you," I wheezed, still out of breath from the sprint from my cabin. I turned to Annabeth. "Listen, I got a quest to go stop Kronos. You coming?"

Annabeth smiled. "Of course Seaweed Brain."

"Great," I said. "We leave first thing tomorrow, so you need to pack your things."

"Alright." She took of her armor, gave Chris a goodbye kiss, and walked toward her cabin to pack.

I ran over to my cabin. Tyson was already asleep, so I just fell onto my bed and fell asleep to the sounds of people screaming.

Someone was shaking me awake. I opened my eyes to see the clock. 2:24am. "Why-" I started. I looked up to see Annabeth standing over me. "Oh my gods Annabeth, what in hades are you doing in my room!?"

Annabeth burst out laughing. "That-laugh- was totally-laugh laugh- worth it."

"Shut up." I rolled out of bed. I hadn't changed before going to sleep, so I was all ready. "Why are you waking me up anyway?"

"First thing in the morning really does mean the first thing in the morning, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth replied.

"It's 2 O'clock in the morning," I whined.

"Whatever. Hurry up though. If Grover can get up, you can too."

I stretched. "He's a goat," I argued.

"So if you look at the way you eat, you guys are just about the same," Annabeth reasoned.

I splashed her with water from the fountain. After that she decided that it was better to wait ouside for me rather that risk another water hazard. Finally after about five minutes of fumbling around and swearing, I was ready. I walked outside and met Annabeth. We walked down the hill toward Argus' van.

"Wait!" Of course, it was Chris. I did kind of feel mad that Annabeth had a boyfriend, but hey, she could do what she wanted.

"Percy!" I turned around to see Chiron galloping towards me.

"Hi," I said. "Come to see us off?"

"Of course," he replied. "And also to give you this." He handed my a small cell phone. I took it and looked it over.

"But I thought that monsters could track these."

Chrion smiled. "You will see that that one has been, how will I say it, tampered with, if you will."

I smiled back in gratitude. "Thanks." I slipped it into my pocket next to Riptide. I continued walking down the hill, where I reached the bottom and realized that Annabeth wasn't there with me. I turned and saw that she was still with Chris, and they of course were kissing. "Hey!" I shouted. I took Riptide and threw it at them, while it was still in pen form of course. Unfortunately my aim was too good, I nailed Chris right in the head.

"Ow!" he shouted. "Oh, right, you should probably go now."

As Annabeth ran down the hill I couldn't help but smile. She rolled her eyes. "Seaweed Brain," and jumped into the car.

"What?" I jumped into the car after her and shut the door. Argus started the car, and soon, we were off.

"Sorry this is as far as I can take you."

"That's okay. Thanks though." I stepped out of the car into the dim sunlight that was the train station. Grover and Annabeth got out behind me, and Argus drove off back toward Camp Half-Blood. Suddenly, classical music started to play.

"What's that?" Grover asked.

"I think that's you Percy," Annabeth suggested.

I rolled my eyes. "Thanks." Then I remembered the cell phone. "Oh, right!" I took it out of my pocket. Unknown Caller, it read. I flipped it open. "Hello?"

"Hey, oh my gods, this actually works!"

"Who is this?" I asked.

"Wow, you've already forgotten me?"

"Rachel?" I guessed. At that remark, Annabeth's mouth curved into a deep frown.

"You're talking to Rachel?" she hissed.

I held up one finger and spoke back into the phone. "Hey listen, can I call you back later?"

"Sure, see ya."

"Bye," I said. I stored Rachel's number in my phonebook and changed the ringtone to heavy metal. I turned to Annabeth. "Yeah?"

"Whatever." She walked hurredly to the ticket line.

I looked at Grover. "What did I do this time?"

Grover just shook his head and followed Annabeth. I stopped for a minute to think why everyone was mad at me, until I realized that my friends were getting away. "Hey!" I shouted, running after them. "Wait up!"

A/N Okay, just a short little author's note here. I bet that some people think by now that I'm gonna make this a Perachel and Annabeth x OOC (I think that's right), but don't worry, because if I did, some of you would probably literally hunt me down. So I swear on the River Styx that this will be a Percabeth story. That's it so thanks for reading!!!!
