The next chapter will be longer I promise. I've gotten to a point where I can do double perspectives of the same scene, and then then next scene. Also things will speed up.

Annabeth
I didn't wake up until 10. It felt good to be able to sleep in. And then get on a boat and sleep some more. When I got up, a packed my laptop and my design book in a bag with anything else I thought I might need. I was so used to packing lightly. I brought a few extra sets of clothes. If I needed more, we could always buy more, but that would be my last resort. Otherwise we could just wash them. Then I went to shower and get ready to leave. At the pace we would be traveling at, we would be in Florida 2 hours after we left. Percy told me we would be able to dock at ports if wanted to eat. He wasn't good at math, but the ocean was kind of his thing. After that, I had to wake him up. He had to get more sleep so he could successfully take us all the way to Europe—in a boat.
When I came to his room I knocked on his door.
"What?" he said sleepily.
"Percy, its time to get up." I yelled. He moved around a little, and opened the door. He was already dressed and ready to go. I looked at him. He had on jeans and a white long sleeve t-shirt, even though it was the middle of summer. We had already loaded our extra things onto the boat.
"I'm ready. You want to grab breakfast?" He asked.
"Yeah. But get another hoodie."
"Why?" he asked, as he went to get his gray one.
"Because." I started. "I said so." He rolled his eyes and we started walking. We walked toward the pavilion and sat at the Greek table with Piper and Jason. They were leaving at the same time we were, and we would be meeting at all the same spots for progress updates and…stuff.
After sacrificing portions of our food, we sat down and ate. We had cereal and bagels, since we would eat again later.
"Percy?" I started. "Do you think we'll run into any monsters in Europe? Even the first demigods had to travel around the world an—"
"Annabeth, you shouldn't worry. It takes away the whole 'vacation' idea. I know you always have your plans and what not, but if we run into anything suspicious, you'll think of something. Plus we have our weapons." He grinned, evilly and took a bite of his bagel. After a minute he looked back at me. "Why are you asking anyways? Any current nightmares?"
"Only that you'll sink us or get us lost in Greece!" I said, lightening the tone. With Percy, either of those things were highly possible. He had a VERY short attention span.
"Hey, I don't always mess up badly!" He defended. "I've always been able to control the water when I needed to."
"And the directions?" I smiled. He was stuck there. We always got lost, somehow.
"Well, I can't be good at everything. You can be smart and direct. I can…do whatever I do…" He got lost in thought thinking about what he did best. I would have said something, but he was good at so many things. Plus, it was funny watching him try to remember something he hadn't messed up. Just then, Piper and Jason walked over to our table. Percy was too deep in thought to notice them.
"Um…what's with him?" Piper asked me. I looked over at him a laughed quietly, and nudged his shoulder.
"What?" Percy was startled. Piper and I giggled. He glared at me.
"Come on. They're ready." I said. We got up and walked to the ship. It was in the valley between our cabin and the city. Once we were on the ship, Jason and Piper boarded the plane and took off. We flew the boat into the ocean, and took off.
